What do you think about the story so far?
Michelangelo was distraught about what was going to happen today. He never wanted to be the supreme boss. He never wanted to do anything with SMS. He just wanted to run away with Renata, but she was gone, he killed her.He was ready to leave but he heard that the vigilantes were back. How were they back? They were like weeds, no matter how many SMS killed, they popped up again. Who were the vigilantes, where were they coming from and why did they keep targeting SMS and the auction ring?The whole way to the auditorium Severino kept his eyes on the road. Michelangelo knew that vigilantes never attacked any member of the SMS when there was a truck to protect. Of course, vigilantes were focused on driving the truck as far away from SMS as possible. Safely, they reached the auditorium.When Michelangelo arrived, he felt like royalty. Everyone wanted to talk to him, everyone wanted to shake hands with him, everyone wanted to congratulate him. He didn’t deserve the attention. A killer must
“We made a pact,” Michelangelo heard Renata say. His heart leapt out of his chest. A pact? When did his father and Renata meet? When did they make a pact and about what? And then she said that the pact was to make Michelangelo’s supreme boss. “What???” Michelangelo shouted but no one heard his voice. Renata and Vittore were in a staring match. Well, not much of a match as Renata was winning. She never removed her gaze from Vittore while Vittore was actively trying to avoid her scary gaze. She kept talking about some secret, what secret? That she was a vigilante? Did his father know? If yes, then Tikhon would kill him. How come two people from the same syndicate were in cahoots with vigilantes, first Stephan and then Vittore? How deep were Renata’s claws in SMS? Wait! If she is the vigilante and Stephan was working for them, he must know that Renata was on his team then why did he attack her, why did he assault her? Stephan said something about Michelangelo not knowing who Renata was
The moment the second bazooka was shot everyone scattered in fear. Now everyone left a hole for Michelangelo to crawl through. He always fought with his brother, but he was family. Looking at him lying in a pool of his own blood hurt him. He never thought Narciso would go away in such a way. True, he made mistakes and was an asshole, but he didn’t deserve to be murdered and that too in such a brutal way. He softly touched Narciso’s body, and a tear dropped from his eyes. His family was lying dead before his eyes. He was killed by the girl he loved the most. He didn’t know what to feel. Should he hate Renata or run after her to ask her about everything that happened? He knew that the girls were the most precious ones for Renata. She would do anything for them. She endured everything for them which he now realised was all fake. Yet she killed Yoshiro because he hurt them and now Narciso sent his goons to kidnap them, so she had to punish him too. He looked at his father who even after
Renata/Afanasiia ran to the door to see if Kubo and Ambrosia came back. She was not ready to lose them the day she started to fight back. Aziel was right, they all were her strength, not her weakness. But if she would see anyone get hurt, she would break down. She already lost Samiul, she was not going to lose anyone else. “Sam! Look after Sev, his nose is still bleeding. Dominique! I need you. You know every path, every street, you can map a route in seconds, help me find them,” ordered Renata/Afanasiia. “Give me a second! If they have to hide or take a path they will take the busiest one and during peak traffic, Nive Street is the busiest. If they needed to shake a tail, they would go there,” Dominique looked in the map app of his phone and within seconds found out the solution. “Let’s go,” said Renata/ Afanasiia. “You are not going anywhere,” scolded Vicktor. “What?” Renata/Afanasiia was shocked. “Your life is in danger. Tikhon is looking for you. You are not going outside and
All looked at each other after that phone call. Cheng sighed after what he heard. Masayuki was pissed at everyone. He was not going to side with anyone instead he wanted to be the Supreme boss. “What are we going to do now?” asked Cheng. “Let’s all give him some time. He might come around. After all, he loves his drug business more than his son,” said Vicktor. “It’s my turn to make a phone call,” said Renata/Afanasiia. “To whom?” asked Dominique. “The last man standing with SMS but working for me,” she winked at Dominique. She went to the same corner and dialed a number. All could hear her say hmm or uh-huh and nodding but they could not hear who was on the other side. They wanted to know who the person was whom she turned against SMS. Were they going to help her or backstab her like Vittore? Since her childhood, she had worked with all the consigliere and knew everyone. They were with her because they genuinely liked Afanasiia and because she treated all of them with respect. Th
Severino and Vicktor ran after Renata. They knew there was no stopping her, but they could accompany her to keep her safe.“Where are you going, the exit is in that direction?” said Vicktor.“Getting my make-up on. Do you think I would go out looking like this? Without any shoes?” she snapped at him.“Fanasi! You just vomited. Is your stomach, okay?” asked Vicktor.“You know why I vomited. It was overwhelming to kill after so many years. I promised Samiul that I would stop killing but…” she closed her eyes after remembering Samiul and stopped for a moment. She inhaled loudly and said, “I am fine. He is gone now. I have to protect the living. I have to protect Yeka, she has no idea what is going on. I have to protect my girls, I have to protect you guys. You are my family.”“Then let us protect you,” Kubo interrupted everyone.“Kubo!” sighed Renata/Afanasiia. She didn’t know how to tell them to stop caring for her.“You know I can fight better than anyone here. I taught you some of the
Renata talked to Prestige and was ready to get out. Kubo looked at her and nodded at her. She signalled him to leave.“What is happening?” whispered Kubo.“Will tell you later,” Renata whispered back, and they started moving out.“Will anyone tell me anything?” shouted Michelangelo.“Michel! You really need to leave. There is nothing about any address here. And last few months she has been living with you. You should know about her,” snapped Prestige.Michelangelo scoffed, “I know nothing about her. I didn’t even know who she was. I didn’t know that she was manipulating me. I didn’t know she was with my father in all this. I knew nothing, Prestige. How will I know about her now?”Renata moved her blue eyes, and they landed on Michelangelo’s distraught face. It was clear that he ran from the auditorium, chased Renata for a while and when he lost her, he came b
Renata stood in the alleyway and while keeping her eyes closed, she bit her lips. She could not understand how Michelangelo recognised her even though she was in disguise. How did he see through her fake persona? She never talked, never looked at him, maybe for once or twice, she had a moustache, a beard, yet he recognised her, how was it possible?“How could he? How could he?” she kept repeating to herself.“Fanasi! Let’s go! Our car is waiting at the end of the street,” said Kubo after finishing his call. He had called Dominique for help who gave the idea to park the car and block the road. He knew that that position would bring the street to a halt, and no one would be able to follow her. He said that he would be arriving at the end of the street with a new car.She and Kubo started walking. The sirens told them about the arrival of the police and the fire department. Kubo didn’t want to explode such a nice engine, but he h
