ISABELLA’S POVAs he drove, I kept asking myself what would have happened to me had he came a second later. I was seconds away from being brutally raped by three men!After I opened my eyes after being kidnapped by the strange man only to discover I was in a strange place I couldn’t identify and not just that but amidst some scary blood hungry mean men.But I would have agreed to let them kill me freely until they choose to molest me first.I had forced not just my eyes shut but my mind too and waited for them devour me as I waited to meet my creator.Seconds later I heard smashing noise and when I opened my eyes, I saw him. He came for me.And yes I still hate him but I would have to pause my hatred for him and do his biddings. For now, I could trust him alone. But still I feared for my life. He was just like them and wouldn’t have changed overnight to a better person.“Where are you taking me to?” I managed to ask when we were finally out of the place and he was driving away.“To so
ISABELLA’S POVWhen I walked into the house, I saw him speaking into his phone as he stood close to the window. I couldn’t make out what he was saying as he spoke almost in hushed tones.Seconds later, he finished with whomever he was speaking to, and turned towards me.He walked to where I was standing and stood before me and for a few seconds, he just stood and stared at me. More like glared at me.Then he exhaled deeply, his breathe laced with a hidden worry.I worried he had come back to his senses and decided to kill me.I waited for him to yell at me, push me out of the house.“Stay in the room over there. I will advise you remain in there and not make a sound.”“Is that all?” I asked.“What more do you want?”“Erm, well…” I shrugged. “Well, maybe you could start by telling me your name…I mean we are going to have to be in each other’s face for a while. Don’t I get a right to know what your real name is...that’s if you have any, I mean.”“Don’t get ahead of yourself. It won’t be
ALESSANDRO’S POV“Get in.” I told Dominique after Chief hung up. When we got back, Isabella was outside of the main house but in the compound.I walked past her and made for the house.“I need some clothes, and maybe a toothbrush and food too…and you know I can’t get any of these when I don’t have my wallet or my card or anything. I need to grab my things back at my house…”“I told you, you can’t leave here…”“What? I am your prisoner now?” she flared up.I gritted my teeth hard, fighting to not yell at her.My fist tightened so hard I had to force myself to calm. I turned to face her after taking a few calming breathes.“Make a list of all you need and give it to me.”I guess that was satisfying enough to her as she didn’t say another word.She handed a paper containing the things she wanted when I got out after changing into a different clothes.“Where are you going?” she asked as I was leaving.“Don’t you want these anymore?” I snapped at her, flapping the list she gave to me at he
LORENZO’S POVI had known Angelo for years but not for once did I ever thought he would have a cold foot for killing a mere server girl. I had seen him kill brutally, without emotions and any care in the world. He killed for chief without questions until it came to her.If I hadn’t known how Angelo never ate things carelessly, I would have thought she poisoned him.And when chief had given me an order to kill this girl, I knew he was beginning to lose trust in Angelo. It was my chance to prove myself to chief. The one chance I have waited for all these while.Bringing her to the facility was the easiest part. When chief gave me the order to end her, I couldn’t have been more pleased.Nothing would have delighted me more than being the one to end Angelo’s bitch.But then a more interesting thought hit me.It would be nice killing his bitch but would be even more better when I shove my little man into her and together with my men fuvk her till she passed out.Angelo would will be pissed
ISABELLA’S POVWhen Mr Stiff left to wherever he was going to, I was left with Mr creepy.“What should I call you?” I had asked the man.He looked at me for a moment and said, “Housekeeper is fine.”“Housekeeper? Is that supposed to be a name or…”“I believe the boss will be coming back with something for you to eat but maybe I could see if I can…”“No, it’s alright. I will wait…for him, your boss.” I said. I would rather stick to trusting only Mr Stiff for now.I watched him as he left not sure what to think of him. His English seems polished and his accents sounded foreign. I figured he wouldn’t be an Italian man.Well, since they both wouldn’t tell me their names, I suppose I would make do with what I have.I remained stuck in my room, made sure I tightly bolted it while I waited for Mr Stiff to return.The loud grumble of my stomach reminded me I needed food urgently but no food.Oh damn, Mr Stiff wasn’t coming back and my stomach feels like it has been set on fire by the hungry w
ALESSANDRO’S POVI had just rounded off a call with Mattia.Yes, I still communicate with him when I want as he feeds me how far chief and his men are on my trail.“Chief isn’t going to stop until you are dead and he sees your dead body...”Mattia had told me. Chief had in fact increased the ransom on my head. He told me of their failed operation nights back and how I was missed in it but chief would rather die than say it.I knew chief and his men have been tracing and trying to track me down.Dominique walked in, “Boss, I need to get some groceries and some supplies...”“Ah, about that...you will wait until I’m back. I need to meet someone in town, he has something for me.”I turned off the laptop I was using and stood from my seat.“You trust him?” Dominique asked.I shrugged, I couldn’t say I trusted Mattia nor did I not trust him. In true, I trust no one especially at this moment. Chief could lure anyone to his side with cash or force if need be. But Mattia has proven to be by my
HOURS BACKWRITER’S POVOnce Lorenzo had discovered a better approach to nabbing Alessandro without him doing much work, he took it up.Using an unknown number, one not registered under his name, he sent a message to chief Alegra promising to reveal the identity of the man that broke into his home weeks back and ruined his work contract.Chief Alegra who has been desperate to find out the man behind him losing the building contract fell for it at once.He sent back a text which read.“How do I trust the words of a man hiding behind an unknown number...show me proof of your words or fuvk off!”“Of course I wasn’t going to send that text without a proof, you geezer...” Lorenzo had said with a smirk on seeing chief’s reply.He has just the perfect prof for chief Alegra. One day he had discreetly made a video of Alessandro while he wore his mask thereby having him in his look of without mask on and with a mask on.He sent the video to chief Alegra with the caption, “Remember this man?”On
ALESSANDRO’S POVI hated to believe Mattia had sold me out but it was becoming glaringly the obvious truth with each passing second.Still it baffles me how I hadn’t read the signs. He must be a great actor; he did his job well barring me from every form of suspicion.I wondered if chief Giovanni would come himself to see the last of a traitor. He could never intentionally miss a moment like this...seeing off a traitor by himself.The hotness from beneath kept spreading. I could feel my feet and my entire body warmed up badly. I was still in my clothes. Can’t say if it was something to be thankful for.Moments later, men started to trod into the place and towards me.Well, I guess I could use some company at the moment even though it will be to my own disadvantage.A total of five men lined up before me. A few had a certain familiarity in my head but none did I recognize as one of chief Giovanni’s men.It has to be probably new recruits that wanted the money. I wondered why Mattia had
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
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
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
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 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 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
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
