WRITER'S POVAlessandro started making plans to go rescue his mother. Now he was certain of something; a saint life was never for him. He thought he would start afresh and be happy with Isabella. He scoffed within him. He must have wished for too much. Now he must go back to being a killer that he is. He took out his tools, a sniper rifle, a revolver, dagger and knifes and carefully arranged them in a box. "Boss, we will go with you…" Dominique said to him. Aless paused as he heard Dominique said that to him. He knew it was him that betrayed him. His fist clenched along with his jaw. "Yess Boss, we will come with you." Mattia added. "Is there something I can do to help?" Isabella joined. She knew it would have been too good to be true if life went on fine for them. Alessandro finished packing his tools and closed the box. He slipped a revolver beneath his trousers and faced them. The last thing he would have wanted was Lorenzo using any of them to get to him again. His mother
ISABELLA'S POVI was in the car anxiously waiting for Mattia and Dominique to give me the signal so I could drive the car forward and they hop in when I hear a knock. My heart flew. I didn't see anyone when I looked out of the locked windows. I waited for some more seconds and then a minute and yet no one showed up. I relaxed again when I realised it could have been just my imagination. Some minutes were already gone and not a signal from Mattia or Dominique. I was getting worried. If at all they have been discovered and captured then I must try to find another way to help. I stepped out of the car to take a look. A hand gripped my neck from behind. "Let me go!"I screamed and kicked but something heavy landed on my head. Things became blurry and I passed out. ALESSANDRO'S POVI feel something cold like water drenching me. I tried to force my eyes to open but felt a sharp pain hit me and shut it back. Was it time for another torture… My head was splitting open with a headache.
WRITER'S POV"Tip the police about the organisation and meet me through the secret entrance if I don't call you in the next ten minutes."That was the message Alessandro had sent to Mattia just before he stepped out of his car and headed towards the organisation. He had thought, If he can't do it alone or get stuck while at it, then he must use the help of the authorities. He knew chief Giovanni ould surely have some of his products stored in the building. The police barged in. One of Chief's men had refused to let them in in a bid to delay the entering until Chief's products had been hidden and gotten into a gun fight with the police. During the gun battle, Chief Giovanni was shot dead as he couldn't make it out through the secret entrance that Alessandro had blocked. Some of the police and his men were found dead too while others escaped. A search warrant was placed on chief Giovanni and his business offices were searched, closed down and their documents seized."I will find that
ISABELLA'S POV The scare is over for now at least. I hope it lets us breathe before another one pops up. I gaze at Alessandro as he sleeps soundly on the bed. I held his hand tight, scared he would leave me again and never return this time. His entire upper body was wrapped with bandages. His fingers that were brutally tortured and were dangling were bandaged too. Mattia and Dominique had said it will take some time to get back to normal. They must have experienced it a lot in the past. Seeing him tied up in the chair back at the place made my heart wrench. I could barely recognize his handsome face. And there he sat acting like it was nothing and holding it all in. Makes me wonder how he always managed to hold out for all the time he could have experienced that much pain and torture. He stirred and let out a groan. "Is your body in pain again? Should I call a doctor?"He had refused to let us call a doctor for fear of revealing our location and so I had to treat him to the best
WRITERS POV Leonardo started to track down the location he had seen in Lorenzo's phone. As he was leaving the house after killing him. At a point he felt he might need more help from the man Lorenzo worked with. He had returned back to Lorenzo's house and with Lorenzo's number sent a message to Tino to meet him at a place after which he left taking with him Lorenzo's phone. He pulled up in the parking lot of a nightclub and waited in his car. Moments later Lorenzo's phone started to ring. He ended the call and sent him a text instead telling him to join him in his car. He watched through the side mirrors for the sight of him as Tino made his way towards his car. The window glasses were tinted. Tino pushed the door open and got in. "Oh wow! You got a new car. This is a machine! I should take another look when I get down…did you see my text?" Tino rattled once he got into the car in admiration of the car. He kept on taking glances around the inside of the car. He noticed the unusua
A YEAR LATERISABELLA "Ales! Get your fine self over here this minute!!" I called onto Ales who was playing with the little kids at the other end. He looked up and waved heartily at me. The kids rounded him and made him chase them around.His mother stood at the other end, with an anxious face worried for the kids, his son inclusive. "Stop running around kids! You will hurt your leg!" She would yell when any of the kids happened to fall. But the kid always gets back to his feet giggling and calling on Ales to come get him again. "Mother, don't you worry yourself. The kids will be alright." I sling my hand into her arms. She heaved. "Oh heavens! They would be the death of me."I laughed, she can be dramatic at times. "The air is nice here. Would you like to take a walk?""Sure, I could use some distraction."Did I shock you? Well, I apologise but I survived the gunshot. I was lucky to have had the shot in my shoulder and for weeks I couldn't move my right arm. It took me some time
MILAN10:20AMThe loud blare of a mobile phone jarred Alessandro awake. He grunted slowly, rubbed his eyes before reaching for his phone on the desk.Still half asleep, he used his elbow to forcefully prop himself upwards, and then brought the phone to his ears.“Hello?” his sleepy yet deep voice spoke groggily into the phone.“Angelo, see me in my office.”The voice was low and brief yet commanding enough. Alessandro needed no soothsayer to know who he had just spoken to. He had forgotten to check the caller identity in his sleepy state but the voice was enough to shake him back to reality.He sighed rubbing his eyes more and wading off the last remaining of sleep in them before he stood, stretching himself to full length. He had fallen asleep in his study. A glance at the round wall clock told him he had slept for almost an hour. If only chief hadn’t woken him up, who knows he would have been lucky to have his first hour of sleep for the first time in a long, long while. And hopeful
Chapter twoAlessandro is sitting on a bench in the children park. The cold rush of air blew sharply past the tip of his nose. He pulled his gloves off gently and rubbed them slightly. His eyes are fixed at the kids laughing and playing in the park.One would think he was having fun watching children play but that wasn’t the case for Alessandro. For the sake of his mission, he has to do things he wouldn’t normally find himself doing. He has had to disguise himself a good number of times as different persons with different personalities. Women the greater victims of his guise. They always lead him to his prey. This time he would be using a kid. It was his best option and easiest route.One of the kids fell while running and that caused one of the lady instructors to rush towards the kid.“Leo, are you alright? Where did you hurt yourself…let me see…” She lifted the child from the ground while carefully scrutinizing his feet looking for where he had hurt himself.“is it here?” she as

ALESSANDRO'S POVIt has been days of perfect peace. Seeing Isabella everyday that I wake up makes me happy and at peace. Sometimes she wakes in my arms and other times she insists on sleeping in her room. My insomnia surprisingly reduced to a great length. I stopped having nightmares of my mother being stabbed and other nightmares generally stopped to a point. Life started to become meaningful to me and above all, I began to see life in a different approach. Isa and I went on short road trips, shopping and anywhere she wanted while being wary of bumping into Chief Giovanni or any of his men. But I wanted more. I wanted to leave freely and not hide from anyone. But as far as chief Giovanni and Lorenzo lives, I knew I would know not peace. And most importantly I wanted to find my real mother. Not my step mother but my real mother. Ever since I began to make money, I have searched for her but my search was slowed down for the fact that I had very little information about my mother.
WRITER'S POVDominique sat on one of the sofas in the living room. He kept a keen eye on Mattia as the clock ticked in his head as he waited for the moment.Alessandro who had been in his room the whole time starts coming out of his room. "Video game anyone?" He asked with a smirk. He always won them whenever they played. "Sure, I'm in. I promise, I'm winning this time." Mattia said. He had a determined look on his face. Alessandro let out a mocking short laugh. Dominique cursed under his breath. This was the wrongest time. "You in? Dominique?" Alessandro motioned to him. "Urh no," he declined. Alessandro and Mattia start to play video games. Dominique was beginning to get uneasy. They must be ready and waiting for him by now. The people he was doing business with. He already informed them he would lure Mattia and Alessandro out to them today. He kept glancing at his wrist watch and looking towards where Mattia and Alessandro were playing the video game. If he didn't act now,
WRITER'S POV"Oh damn it! These bastards should fuvking stay out of my damn life!" Lorenzo cursed. It was yet another beep of his phone and no doubt he knew it would be those that have bound him in chains. Chief Alegra. He sleepily reached for his phone on the drawer and got hold of it. Once he got hold of it, he silenced it and threw it carelessly on the bed without caring as much as checking the message. Seconds later his phone started to vibrate signifying a call this time around. His teeth clenched. He grudgingly picked up the phone and rightly as he suspected it was chief Alegra calling. He swiped the answer button. "Chief, I understand we are working together but can you fucking let me get some sleep? Do you and your boys have to blow this damn phone off…""I'm in your house. Open the door." He heard a voice say and clink, the call ended. "What?"He scrambled out of the bed. "Right now? In my house? Why?"Lorenzo hurriedly put on his clothes and went to the door. Truly chi
