Michelangelo took out two pyjamas. He wore one and thenchanged Renata’s clothes. He didn’t want her to sleep in clothes that were dosed with fumes. He didn’t feel like eating anything. He wanted to sleep next to Renata, snuggle with her, but kept his distance. He lay down on the sofa and with his arm on his eyes, slept for the night.He could not sleep well. His sleep was a light one that night. He was scared that anyone might barge in at any time and he would have to be alert to protect Renata. There was no place to even shift to sides, he had to lay on his back. The next moment he heard the cocking of a gun and he sat up straight.“You!! How?” Michelangelo was shocked. He could swear that every door, every window was locked yet Vicktor was standing before him with a gun in his hand.“What the hell do you think you are doing? Why is my team sleeping in your house? Not sleeping, by the looks of it, they are unconscious,” asked Vicktor.“I had to do that. For their safety and my safety
Michelangelo was silently listening to every word Vicktor had to say and he had a lot to say.“Then that fateful night, Tikhon called Samiul to his bungalow. He sent Stephan back in home to keep an eye on her mother, Aurora and her half-sister, Yeka. He ordered Fanasi to kill Samiul else he would order Stephan to rape and kill her sister. She had a choice to make, should she kill the one person who loved her the most or the one person she loved the most?“Samiul pleaded with her to choose him to kill. She had to kill him with her heels. For the first time, I saw tears in that girl’s eyes and blood on her feet. The passion, the love I saw in their kiss was heart-wrenching. She cried for so long while holding his body while Tikhon kept laughing. No one could stand before his auction ring, not even his daughter.“Fanasi vowed that night that she would destroy and burn the thing to the ground that killed her Samiul. He died because of the auction ring, and she would uproot it by all means
Michelangelo kept staring at Vicktor. He couldn’t believe what he just heard. The whole life story was Renata and how she manipulated everything to make him the supreme boss was unbelievable for him. The memory of when she announced that no one should kill him was still fresh in his mind. He thought she was joking, she was a mere common girl at that point, she had no ties with the mafia or any type of crime. Now he knew how idiot was he.He still remembered when she blurted out that everyone in Athanasius was working for her. He again thought she was joking or was just angry at him for teasing her but everything she said was true. So, did it mean Angela too was working for her? Was she also a vigilante?And what did he mean by she saved him, and she was the sniper? He never saw her anywhere near his house. All he knew was that her aim was on point. After all, she was the Heeler. But it made sense as she tried to kill Tikhon on the day of her funeral and her gun, the same gun she used
Renata was in deep sleep not aware of what was happening near her. Vicktor was talking about her, telling Michelangelo things that she herself had no idea about. The fumes were slowly leaving her system. She could swear she heard Michelangelo shouting. But why would she hear him shouting? She was nowhere near him. She was in her building away from him, or was she?Her ears heard a familiar voice. Was Vicktor there too? If Vicktor was there, it was clear that she was with her new family, girls, and men, whom she trusted. But there was a mole amongst them. Someone was telling about her to Michelangelo.“You can right your wrong,” said Vicktor and knelt down before Michelangelo.“What are you doing?” shouted Michelangelo. Renata furrowed her eyebrows at the sound. She tried opening her eyes but she was under a faint spell of the fumes that Michelangelo spread in his living room.“You have to help her. I will do anything you ask for,” said Vicktor. His words gave a shock to Renata. What d
The earth stopped spinning. The wind stopped blowing. The stars dimmed themselves. The moon hid behind the clouds. They all were afraid of Renata’s wrath. She was staring at Vicktor with an open mouth. Her angry eyes were devoid of every emotion. For the first time in her life, she was stunned. She was frozen in her body.Suddenly her eyes started drooping. A white noise started screaming in her brain. Everything before her eyes turned white static. She could see nothing, hear nothing. She felt someone grabbing her and shaking her, patting her cheeks.When she finally opened her eyes, half of her body was on the ground and Severino had her enclosed in his arms. “Fanasi! Fanasi! Talk to me. Are you okay? What did you do to her?” he shouted at Michelangelo.“S…e…v!!” her voice trembled. She tried standing up, but her knees gave in. There was no strength in her body. Tears were streaming down her face. “Take… me home! Take me… home!” she pleaded.Severino shot an angry look at Vicktor an
Severino stopped the car and opened the door for Renata. She still didn’t move. He opened her seatbelt and carried her inside the building. “Where were you guys? No one was replying to their comms or phones. Wait! What happened to her? Ren? Ren? I saw you guys going inside but never saw you coming out. What happened?” suddenly everyone started raining questions at Severino. Without replying to anyone, he went inside Renata’s apartment and laid her down in her bed. She again lost her shoes. This time even her clothes as she was in the pyjamas Michelangelo put her in. The moment he turned to look at everyone he grabbed Sameeksha by her shoulder and shouted, “is it true? Tell me, is it true?” Sameeksha understood what he was asking about. She lowered her head and while biting her lower lips simply nodded. Severino closed his eyes and sighed. “How? What? What are we going to do?” he asked. “Is that why she is crying?” asked Sameeksha. “Yes, she is in shock,” replied Severino. “We all
“What the hell is he talking about?” snapped Sameeksha at Renata.“Is that important right now? Vicktor brought an outsider into our hiding place. Should we all not address that?” asked Renata.“No!” shouted Hazel. “What does he mean that you are going to prison?”“That was always the plan, Haze. Samiul and I made that plan. If the Heeler goes behind bars, then only SMS will go behind bars. I have everything with me. I know what everyone has done, and I have the financial statement for everything. I have the odal file, and the financial statement of SMS, thanks to you guys. All I need is my father’s personal book. I know he keeps it with my mom because no one will suspect an odal,” said Renata.“Why? Why do you have to do that? You can give everything to the police, to Prestige, she will take care of everything,” said Ambrosia.“Prestige? Detective prestige? She too works for you guys?” Michelangelo was shocked, again. How far her operation was spread? And how did she do it without an
Renata kept sobbing for minutes. She felt so good in Michelangelo’s arms. She didn’t want to get out of that warm embrace. He didn’t ask her to stop crying, he just held her close to himself.“I don’t know what to do. I don’t know what to do. What should I do, Michel?” Renata kept sobbing.“First, sit down!” he made her sit back down on the bed and knelt before her. “Now talk to me!”“Do you want this kid?” she asked.“Ren! Are you kidding me? Of course, I want this kid. He or she will be mine. You are mine. I want my family,” said Michelangelo.“He-he,” scoffed Renata and somehow laughed. “Family? There will be no family. Our child will be born in prison. You can take him/her after that. You have to take care of them but don’t make them an angry moron like you.”“Why are you talking like this? Why does anyone have to go to jail? The Heeler is dead. Let her be dead, why bring her back?” asked Michelangelo.“I have to repent for what I did. I killed so many people in cold blood, just b
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 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 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
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,
“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
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 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
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,
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
