Like it? Let me know.
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
The plan was set. The location was set. The teams were set. Half people would go to Port Street and half would go to Ava building. All coordinated their watches to milliseconds and armed with all the necessary equipment they needed they sat in their cars. For fast and better access, every team took two cars. Team A had Renata, Hazel, Vicktor, Dominique and Cheng, whereas Team B had Valentina, Ambrosia, Sameeksha, Kubo and Vito while Aziel and Severino stayed behind for the tech support. Aziel was going to make sure everyone would be in touch at all times. “So, everyone is clear in their motives?” asked Renata. Everyone nodded. “Keep your masks on! Stay alert and don’t get hurt. Is that clear?” “Yes!” said everyone. “As we have already informed Masayuki that we are after him, there is a great chance that he must have increased the security. So, everyone must keep their eyes open,” announced Cheng. “As today is Narciso’s funeral, we can expect less security. But all is only speculat
Renata kept trying to lift the huge packet away from Hazel, but it was too heavy. “Just leave!! What are you doing?” shouted Hazel. “What? What happened?” shouted Vicktor over the comms. “Just stay put, everyone, get out!” commanded Renata. “REN!!!” shouted Ambrosia over the comms. But Renata’s eyes were fixed on the goon who was staring at her. He smiled at her and pulled the trigger. Renata wanted to duck, she wanted to get away, but Hazel’s life was in balance. The goon was approaching her and soon he would shoot her down too. She didn’t know what happened, but suddenly a forceful push made her lie on the ground the bullet hit the wall behind her. A man with a cloth mask was over her hiding her with his body. She knew those sky-blue eyes, she knew that body, she knew that touch. “Michel!” she whispered. Before saying a word, he turned to look at the goon and shot him down. “Are you stupid?” he snapped at Renata. “What??” she was taken aback. “Why didn’t you shoot him?” he s
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
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
