Michelangelo was pacing up and down in Renata’s room waiting for the doctor to arrive. He had lost his team, Tom, Fred, Severino, all the men he had been working with for so long and trusted them. After that the team that he had, he didn’t know anyone and was selected by Vicktor. The day Vicktor betrayed him he fired everyone and now he had no bodyguards he trusted. The new bodyguards were selected by his father. The man who manipulated the shit out of him, he didn’t know if he could trust him. Early morning, he went to his brother’s funeral but could not stay there any longer. He hated his father with every fibre of his being. No matter how many times Vittore said sorry to him, Michelangelo was not ready to listen. He sent a woman to play with his heart and she won. She achieved everything she wanted. She almost made Michelangelo into the Supreme Boss. If not for his father, he would have been crowned by now. The whole day he kept thinking about Renata. Seeing the stab wound in Nar
The silence was creeping over the room. Not even the air conditioner was making a sound. Yet someone was screaming inside Renata’s brain. She kept groaning and groaning trying to lift the packet up from Hazel’s legs. The packet kept crushing Hazel. Her legs were turning into jelly. Renata kept raising the packet but it was too heavy for her. Suddenly her hands slipped and the packet fell with a loud thud on Hazel. The packet burst open under the pressure and when the smoke dissipated, Hazel too was gone. “Haze!!” shouted Renata and sat up breathing heavily. She kept catching her breath for a minute and trying to look around. She didn’t know where she was. All she knew was she had a nightmare. She tried opening and closing her eyes to see better. It was not the Young Building, that building would be full of chatter by now and she would be surrounded by her people. Shit! Her people! Did they leave safely? Did Hazel get out? Where was she? It didn’t look like Ava Building either. The
Every screen on every computer was playing footage from all the CCTV Aziel could find. Venturi Mansion, Venturi Manor, Tikhon’s Mansion, every hospital ER, any place he could think of. Everyone was reviewing the footage. Some were crouched over the chairs, some were sitting on the chairs and some were simply standing but their eyes were fixed on the screens.“Could she have gone back to her apartment?” suggested Cheng.“Maybe, let me hack into those cameras too,” said Aziel and started typing on the screen. Within minutes, there were a few more CCTV footage to review. Ambrosia would glance at Hazel in anger in between reviewing the footage. She was still angry at her. How could she leave Renata behind when Renata helped her get out?Renata had asked everyone to leave people behind if anyone would get caught yet she defied her own order and now she was missing. All knew that Michelangelo was there with her and were worried about that. What was Michelangelo’s motive, no one knew. How wa
“You are leaving him like that?” asked Severino and pointed at Michelangelo. “You are very concerned about him,” Renata raised her eyebrows at him. “I just meant… he is the Supreme Boss,” stammered Severino. “If you want you can stay back,” she snapped. “I never… no, I don’t want… let’s just go,” said Severino and closed the door of the mansion behind him. “You didn’t really have to choke him.” Renata jerked her face to stare at him. “Sorry!” “How many shoes am I going to lose?” she shouted and shook her head in anger. All looked at each other and gulped. Their leader was angry, and she could kill all of them in a single move. If they had not reached them at the right time, she might have killed Michelangelo. All sat in the car with Renata fuming in anger. Why she was so angry, she had no idea. She just wanted to shout at everyone. Maybe she was angry because Michelangelo saved her. She had to rely on him for her safety. He even called a doctor for her. Why was he showing concern
Renata was still angry at everyone. Someone told Michelangelo where she would be, but no one was coming forward. She had to find who was still talking to Michelangelo and punish them for blabbing. And what was the purpose? Why was Michelangelo informed? What was the end game? Whoever it was they knew Michelangelo was not going to kill her or hurt her. He was there to protect her. They knew Michelangelo still loved Renata. And Severino was his big advocate, but Renata knew he could never tell anything to Michelangelo. Well, no one from her team could tell Michelangelo, then how was he there? “Are we ready?” asked Aziel. “I am staring at the cameras. Masayuki has increased the security for today.” “What did he say, Cheng?” asked Renata. “He is ready to sit down with you. I think that’s why he is increasing the security,” said Cheng. “Is he angry?” laughed Renata. “Of course, but he knows he cannot mess with you,” said Cheng. “What about Tikhon?” asked Renata and looked at Aziel.
Renata was shocked to see Michelangelo in Masayuki’s house. Why was he there? Who called him? Who else knew about the meeting? Why was he inserting his nose where it didn’t belong? Who was he to tell her that she should let Masayuki go? He pointed the gun at her head after all when she just wanted to talk to him.She saw red and picked up the closest thing to her and chucked at Michelangelo. It was as if he was ready to be attacked. He ducked before the showpiece could hit him and stood up smirking at her.“Okay, everyone, calm down! Let’s do what we are here for,” said Cheng. “Masayuki! That was a big mistake pointing a gun at her. What were you thinking? She came here to talk to you, and you wanted to kill her? Have you lost your mind?”“She killed my son,” sobbed Masayuki.“And your son killed so many people. You don’t cry for them,” snapped Cheng. “Now het up and sit down.”“And send every one of your gunmen away, if this meeting is just about talks, let’s talk,” said Michelangelo
Renata jumped out of the car and walked straight into the building. Without talking to anyone, she walked into her room. “Ren!” said Hazel but she ignored her. “Um… what happened?” she asked. “Oh! How to begin. So many things happened,” sighed Vicktor. “But why is she angry, again?” asked Hazel. “That would be because of Michel,” said Kubo. “What?” everyone shouted at once. “What do you mean?” asked Severino. “He was there, again!” said Cheng. “But how?” asked Sameeksha. “Don’t ask me,” said Cheng. “How does he know where she would be?” asked Valentina. Vicktor shrugged as he had no answer. “Only he knows that. And Fanasi gets violent when she sees him so no one can ask him any questions.” “And yet again he saved her life,” said Vicktor. “How?” asked Ambrosia. “We didn’t have any guns, but Masayuki was loaded with them. He even pointed one at her temple. Well, she overtook him in an instant but Michel forced everyone to put their guns down. And when he heard that Tikhon wa
Everyone was seated at the breakfast table. They really had made a home out of the Young Building. Everyone had their own apartments, a gym, an IT room, in short, the whole building was their property.“Everyone’s ready?” asked Aziel.“Yeah!” shouted everyone except Renata. She was busy gobbling the food. Her anger was making her hungrier. She knew she would need her strength if she was going to meet with another head of the cosca.“Any instructions?” asked Vicktor.“Alofunoeverything,” said Renata while chewing her mouth full of food.“Heh?” asked Hazel.Renata gulped her food and enunciated, “all of you know everything.”“Are you sure you want to stun people and not kill?” asked Vito while biting on his toast.“I am tired of killing people. Some are working for SMS to support their family, not everyone is a criminal. Just because they work for criminals, that does not mean I have to kill them,” explained Renata. “I am a world-class killer. I deserve to die, not them, who are just do
