The Funeral
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56After a chaotic day, Michelangelo was expecting a peaceful day. He just wanted to attend the funeral and then go to meet Renata for her presentation. He had no idea if he should be happy or sad. Although he didn’t know Xiaojian that personally, he should at least feel bad at the loss of a life.
And what was his fault? That he was one of the nominees? Being a part of SMS got him killed. He was waiting for any news from Vicktor but there was no call. It meant that no one knew who attacked all the nominees.
Everyone was on high alert. The bodyguards were armed with guns and bullets. Yesterday a lot of them lost their life and it was known that today too someone might lose their life. All had to be hypervigilant today.
Michelangelo wore a black suit to pay his respects and waited for Severino to get ready. All his bodyguards slept in his house last night. Severino too was ready in a black suit and all were ready to go to the funeral.

People were talking to each other about the attack on the nominees. All were shocked that that happened. Even the consiglieres didn’t know who planned the attack. All were working together to find it out. Stephan was supposed to come and give them some news but Tikhon and Stephan were late. Suddenly everyone went silent. There was no gong yet everyone knew that Tikhon had arrived. Dressed in a crisp back suit, he looked terrifying. His handlebar moustache was even sharper today. Walking with him was demure Aurora. She was not looking at anyone as everyone knew she had her orders, never to look at any other man except Tikhon. People knew what would happen if she would look at anyone else. Nika, the wife of Tikhon, was dressed in black fur and walked before Tikhon to pay her respects. Even though Stephan told her not to talk, she kept babbling. “Where are the sticks? How do I light it? God! Everything is so slow,” Nika kept disturbing the ceremony. She just stuck the stick and didn’t

Vicktor wanted to leave as he was angry and hurt. Michelangelo made him relive his worst moment. But he had promised Michelangelo that he would be with him till his bodyguard recovered and a few more joined his team of guards. With a sigh, he tried to forget his past. He went near his car and waited for Michelangelo to arrive. He knew he did wrong by creating a nuisance at the funeral, but he didn’t like anyone making him remember his past and his protégé. He taught her everything, but she was better. Oh! How he missed her. If she had been there, she would have taken over Tikhon’s business. There would be no need for the nomination and every stupid process. She would be the Boss, no doubt. Vicktor was in his thoughts when Michelangelo arrived with his whole team, father, brother, and all. “I am sorry. I was just curious. Didn’t think you would be so angry,” said Michelangelo. “If you want to hear that I am sorry too, you won’t ever hear that…” said Vicktor. But Michelangelo interr
The Auction Ring The Presentation
Severino and Vicktor panicked when they saw Michelangelo running away from them. He never wanted that life and now he was thrown into that. He would have to deal with murders, gunfire, and bodyguards. He was not allowed to go anywhere without people following him. Severino and Vicktor jumped as soon as the lift opened. Everyone kept looking for Michelangelo but was already in the lift going towards the 22nd floor. “That idiot!” shouted Severino. “Where do you want to look for him? I am going left and then I will keep checking every floor up, you take right,” ordered Vicktor. “Wait!” suddenly something struck his brain. “What?” asked Vicktor. “He is here to meet her, he is not leaving without meeting her. That idiot!!!!” shouted Severino. “What, now?” “He didn’t run away from us, he ran towards her. He wanted to spend time alone with her, I am sure. I am going to kill him for giving me a heart attack,” Severino gritted his teeth. “Are you sure?” asked Vicktor. “Yes, I am sure.
The Auction Ring The Soup Kitchen
Renata was so glad that she a made a fool out of Michelangelo. She saw Severino walking by and teasing him. That made her smile even brighter. Her work for today was done. The presentation was given, and she didn’t have to give it. She knew she wouldn’t be able to concentrate before Michelangelo, his one look was enough for her to melt. He just nudged her neck and her whole shivered with pleasure. She didn’t want that inside the conference room. “Well done, everyone! Ren! Make sure you keep in contact with him,” said Angela. “Okay, I will. I will keep pestering him about which proposal he likes better or if he wants some other AD,” teased Renata. “Stop being a smart ass. No need for pestering, just ask him after a day or two,” said Angela. “Yes, boss!” saluted Renata and looked at her team. After Angela went away, they all wiggled their fingers against each other and giggled with happiness. The day ended and Renata went back to her home. She was glad that she was done with Michel
The Auction Ring The Volunteer Work
Renata was happy to see new people volunteering for charity work. It was good that youngsters were getting involved in charity. “You come here often?” asked Narciso after a minute of silence. “Yes, this is my turf, you can say,” said Renata. “My friends and I always come here and help Father Paul.” “Father Paul?” asked Narciso. “That old man helping those homeless people, is Father Paul,” said Renata. “Oh!” “How did you hear about this soup kitchen?” asked Renata. “Oh, the hotel at the corner, you know that, right? I work there. I saw this soup kitchen every day on my way home. So, this weekend I thought of coming here. Being in the service industry, makes me want to help people even more,” said Narciso. What Renata didn’t know was that every word out of his mouth was a lie. “Wow! That’s nice.” “You mentioned your friends. So, are you alone or did your friends come here too?” smiled Narciso. “Oh, everyone’s here. All of my four friends are here, but I only see three of them h
The Auction Ring The Shocking Comeback
The girls were happy that someone was there to help them and now they would soon get the permit that they needed. Maybe Narciso came like an angel to them. “He was a good person,” said Valentina. “Yeah, has a small job in the service industry and came here to volunteer. On top of that, he wants to help us, he is nice,” said Renata. “And him being handsome does not hurt anyone,” winked Hazel. “What does that have to do with anything?” asked Ambrosia. “Wherever Renata goes, handsome men follow,” joked Hazel. “Wherever your head goes, my punch follows. What do you think about that?” taunted Renata. “Okay! Sorry!” said Hazel. All the girls took care of the boxes they brought with them and folded them neatly for reuse. This time they booked only two cabs. “Bye, Father Paul and thank you for everything,” said Sameeksha. “No, thank you, girls. You guys help us a lot,” said Father Paul. The cabs arrived and the girls left after saying their byes. They were happy and giggling and lau
The Auction Ring The Problem
Severino kept laughing at Michelangelo after they left Renata’s office. Idiot Michelangelo ran away from them to meet Renata and spend time with her alone and then she pulled that prank on him. She sent her team inside and made them give a presentation to Michelangelo. “Okay, shut up!” scolded Michelangelo. “I am sorry, that was funny,” laughed Severino. “On a serious note, what is your relationship with that girl?” asked Vicktor. “What? There is no relationship!” Michelangelo was defensive. “Michel! Do you want a relationship?” asked Vicktor. “Don’t tell anyone but I am not sure. Some part of me wants everything to do with her and other parts want nothing to do with her for her own safety. I don’t want her to get involved in the mafia world. Her world is too different,” said Michelangelo. “Then you must stay away from her. Now that Yoshiro knows you are somehow related to her, stay away from her,” said Vicktor. “That is the problem, Vik, I don’t want to stay away but at the sa
The Auction Ring The Self Pleasure
The case of who killed Xiaojian was still ongoing. No one knew who ordered the hit. Michelangelo was asked not to leave the house until everything was sorted. As he was the boss of his company, it was not compulsory for him to go. Severino was there to see that he didn’t leave while Vicktor was searching for new bodyguards. But Michelangelo had only one job, check if Renata was doing okay. He would be glad when she would send a message teasing him. “Hi! Did you go over all the material Angela gave you or do you need more time?” she asked. “I need more time,” replied Michelangelo with a smile on his face. Why? Weren’t you listening when she told you everything? I was thinking about you. So, you didn’t listen to anything she said. What can I say, you were in my mind. If you would have given the presentation, maybe I would have listened. No way you have listened. Why do you think I asked Angela to give the presentatio

The Auction Ring Epilogue
One year later….Michelangelo snaked his hand under Renata’s waist and pulled her closer to himself. She moaned a little in her sleep but adjusted herself as the small spoon. He kissed on her neck and sighed happily.His love was sleeping close to him and there were no enemies around except the two alarm clocks, one boy and a girl, who could wake up at any time disturbing Renata’s beauty sleep. She needed that sleep to look good tomorrow. After one whole year of proposing, Renata finally said yes to him and they were going to be married tomorrow. He could not sleep due to excitement. He again looked at Renata. She had gained weight because of childbirth and her full figure made her look even prettier. If she was hot before, she was irresistible now.He lowered the string of her spaghetti top and started planting wet kisses all over her neck and shoulder. Renata groaned a little and tried to move away from him but he pulled her even closer and wrapped his arms around her tightly.“Mic
The Auction Ring The End of The Auction Ring
The big court was full of people. The head of coscas, Tikhon, Consiglieres, the enforcers, the footmen, everyone was present there waiting for their hearing. Tikhon was sitting beside his lawyer in his seat with his head down. After the death of Aurora, he spoke the bare minimum. He just opened his mouth to answer whatever was being asked to him. It was like he was broken from the inside. The woman he loved the most was dead. His vast empire had crumbled down. All the people working for him were under arrest. His wife, his daughter hated him. No one was with him, no one cared about him anymore. He was a broken shell of a man. The judge arrived and everyone stood up. The girls and Michelangelo were sitting in the back behind the Aagua State Attorney (ASA). Interpol had done its job and handed everything to the local government. After Aagua would be done punishing, Tikhon and the head of Coscas would go back to Siago to face charges there too. Aagua state attorney stood up first and g
The Auction Ring The Repayment of The Debt
The precinct was filled with people from SMS. There was no place inside the prison for their holding. Tikhon was still screaming for Aurora but she was dead. Nika was taken to the hospital and Aurora to the morgue. Yekaterina was not officially arrested yet she never left Renata’s side. She clung to her as if her life depended on it. Interpol people were reviewing all the evidence collected and matching names with everyone present there. The whole precinct was echoing with sounds like ‘I didn’t do anything’, ‘I am innocent’, ‘I never laid hands on anyone’, ‘I was just the bodyguard’, ‘let me go’, etc. “You need to sit down. I have to go to prison, Yeka,” said Renata. “You are not under arrest, you cannot come inside.” “But where should I go? I have no one left,” sobbed Yekaterina. “You have your mother. Prestige! Can you take her to the hospital? Yeka! You need to be with her. If you need anything say Renata Zyanya have sent you,” ordered Renata. “Who?” asked Yekaterina. “Renata
The Auction Ring The Final Showdown
Aurora was not ready for what Renata was saying. What did she mean by she was four steps ahead? With one move Aurora was sure that she would make Renata bend her knees before her then why was she smiling and not afraid? Did she stop loving her sister? Did she not care about her? Was her hatred of her father so great that she was ready to sacrifice her sister? Aurora looked to her side where Renata was staring. What was she doing? Why was she looking at Yekaterina? “Bring her to me,” snapped Aurora and signalled Aurelie. Aurora looked at Renata and spewed poison, “You are against auction ring. Then see what I will do to your sister in the auction ring. I will sell her again and again to different people for one night each. She will be branded odal over and over again till we run out of the skin to brand her. I will turn your sister into a whore, a prostitute. She will live to pleasure men and women. Your sister will beg for death, but I will not allow her to die. She will be my whore,
The Auction Ring The Sister
“Fanasi! What…?” Vicktor was shocked to his core.“She killed Samiul, Vicktor, she killed him. She told everything to Tikhon. She told him how I wanted to shut down the auction ring. But it was the greatest source of her income. How could she let that go? She is behind everything, Tikhon is just her puppet, smitten by her. You think Tikhon hit her, abused her, no, he never laid a hand on her. Everything was a ruse.“You are such a great actress. Aren’t you? You made everyone believe that you were the victim, but everyone else was the victim. I hated Nika for torturing you, but you endured all because you had to get sympathy from everyone. The first odal!” Renata scoffed. “You sold yourself to show everyone how good the auction ring business was. He bought you because you asked him to.“You even let him brand you. You are the one who started this kidnapping, this torture, this buying and selling, this abuse-culture. How sadist are you? Just to get some money you are okay to sell young
The Auction Ring The Real Culprit
Renata was shocked to the core. She could not believe what was happening. Tikhon was coming close to her. But it was not the way she hoped for. She had her mother in his grip. She was ready to kill his first odal just to get Renata. So many guns were pointed at her and her team. How was she going to get out of this situation? Tikhon was almost in her face. He grabbed her neck and brought her face closer to himself. His eyes were dripping fear but his hands were not afraid of her. He knew she loved her mother and would do anything to save her. “I am going to kill you. I will burn the skin off you and then chop you into pieces. This time you will stay dead. No one is taking SMS away from me. SMS will live,” he kept gritting his teeth. His saliva kept flying on Renata’s face. She never even flinched. “No, please,” Aurora begged. “Oh, but I forgot, you are pregnant. You daughter of a whore, you are pregnant. Are you sure your kid is Michel’s? or are you trying to trap him just like yo
The Auction Ring The Betrayal
The day was extremely bright that day. The day of the coronation arrived. Renata was locked in her house as she knew she was going to get her father. He was going to lose. Michelangelo had planned everything, and she was ready for it. But was she really ready to destroy her father and his empire? Her mind was occupied with Yeka and her mother, Aurora. She knew that Tikhon knew that she was coming, and he would definitely use them as a shield. Although she had a plan in motion, she was not sure if she would succeed. Something was going to be wrong she had an intuition. “Are you ready?” Sameeksha knocked at the door. Renata opened the door and exhaled loudly. “Woah! You don’t look good,” said Sameeksha. Renata raised one finger and ran to the bathroom. Whatever she ate last night, she puked everything. Sameeksha ran to the bathroom after her and kept caressing her back. Renata sat down on the bathroom floor after puking her guts. “Oh!” Renata groaned. “Feeling okay, now?” asked Same
The Auction Ring The Plan is Successful
Renata’s plan to irk them was working. Her plan to teach everyone a lesson was working.“You bastard! You daughter of an odal. You dare do this to us,” snapped all three at her and stood up. Vikentiy raised his gun at her.Renata lowered her eyes and took a deep sigh. She then raised her head to look at him and with fire in her eyes stood up. She walked up to him and put her head on the barrel of his gun.“Do it! Let’s see how much courage you have,” taunted Renata. “If you kill me, my people might give you your kids back.”“Ren!” shouted Hazel and a few of Renata’s team members stood up in shock.Renata raised her finger to shut her up. Everyone sat back down. Looking at her fierce eyes Vikentiy backed down. He lowered his gun and went down to his knees. “Please, not my daughter. She did nothing to you. Please let her go! She is just a kid.”Renata grabbed a chuck of his hair and yanked it hard, making him look at her. She lowered her face to look directly into his eyes and snapped,
The Auction Ring The Restaurant
Renata had to work fast. Even though she knew the abductees were safe in her place she didn’t want to give Tikhon a chance to rescue them. Well, no one knew where she was except her team and now Michelangelo. His plan was on point. On the day of the coronation, he would smuggle everyone inside the hall and then they could attack Tikhon as the security around him would be minimal. All eyes would be on Michelangelo that day, but Renata’s eyes would be on Tikhon. She knew her mother would be there, and he might use her. But Tikhon loved Aurora the most in his life, maybe he might not put her in harm’s way. The only person she was concerned about was, Yekaterina, her half-sister. She sent her people to keep an eye on her, but Yekaterina was surrounded by Tikhon’s people. It would be difficult to get her out. Her people had scheduled the meeting with Octavius, Zhaohui and Vikentiy. The meeting was fixed in a public place. A big table was reserved at a famous restaurant, and everyone was s
