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 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
While Michelangelo was busy flirting with Renata, Vicktor was busy trying to figure out who was behind the attacks. Stephan was cross-checking every man in his Odal book and trying to figure out who bought those men. Were they bought by a single entity or different people? Was the attack done by a single faction or was it a group effort? As per Michelangelo’s suggestions, the photographs of the men were altered to look like their childhood pics. Stephan and Vicktor were cross-checking with every Odal. They had to start looking for their files from the beginning. No one knew which year they might find the boys’ pictures. Stephan talked to every Consigliere, and no one had any clue who attacked the nominees. Everyone swore that their Cosca had nothing to do with the attacks. If no one from the Cosca had anything to do with the attacks, then who attacked the nominees, and that too with the help of Odals? Someone was fishy about this matter and Stephan had to find it out. Year by year e
The toothbrush in Michelangelo’s mouth stopped. The foam was all over his lips and the TV screen. Severino’s mouth was open. He was staring at the TV, but his hands were in his pocket looking for his phone. He had to call Vicktor immediately. “Julie! What can you tell about the association of this case with SMS?” asked Adam. “It is said that Tikhon Kuznetsova has some slaves, and they are branded as Odals. When those people are asked about that they deny that Tikhon had anything to with it. People with the word Odal on their body have been found all over the world and Interpol and police from many countries believe that SMS is behind it. But no one has found any definitive proof. No witness nor any evidence is there. Still, Interpol is going to question Tikhon. We have also heard that Tikhon is going to retire. There will soon be a power gap ready to snatch. Police believe that the killings are the start of the grab,” replied Julie. “Vik! Vik! Are you watching this?” shouted Severin
“What? What?? What is happening?” Severino came running as Michelangelo shouted.“Girls! Yoshiro! At their place!” shouted Michelangelo from his room. Soon he was out wearing a white shirt with black trousers. He hid his gun under his jacket and grabbed a brass knuckle from his arsenal.In the meantime, Severino called up everyone who could reach Renata’s home quickly and gave them her address. He told them to be loaded with guns and ammunition. He even called up his guards at Renata’s residence, but no one was picking up. It meant real trouble.Severino too ran and changed his clothes. He grabbed his guns and placed them both under his jacket. He then grabbed his favourite weapon, a baseball bat with nails sticking out of the head.Both ran to the SUV and Michelangelo kept looking at the phone’s screen to see what his camera would catch.“No! No! No! No!!!” he shouted at the top of his lungs wh
“You!!!” Michelangelo was taken aback. “You did all that!” he was already frozen but every word out of Yoshiro’s mouth gave him a shocking shock.“You were the one behind every attack? You killed Xiaojian? What is wrong with you?” shouted Michelangelo. “Don’t lecture me, I know you want to be the Supreme Boss too,” said Yoshiro.“You are wrong, I don’t. If you are doing this because you think I want to be Boss, don’t. I never want to be the Supreme Boss. Please let everyone go,” said Michelangelo. “You think I am fool? Tikhon Boss liked you. I could see in his eyes,” said Yoshiro.“What the hell are you talking about?” shouted Michelangelo. “You have taken steps to start making money. Don’t deny it. That’s why you approached her. She will work on your business and that will make more money for you,” said Yoshiro.“You idiot! That is my business. I have always been working on my business. Are you really out of your min
Renata grabbed Michelangelo’s hand and caressed it softly. Michelangelo was angry at Yoshiro, but the moment Renata touched him, he melted. His anger went out the window and he sweetly looked at Renata who was caressing his hands. Michelangelo looked at his hand, the brass knuckles had bruised his hands as well. There were a few cuts too. “I am fine,” said Michelangelo. “No, you are not. You are hurt. You are hurt because of us,” said Renata with tears in her eyes. “Are you kidding me? You are hurt because of me,” said Michelangelo and touched her cheeks carefully. He didn’t want to hurt her even more. Yet she flinched with pain. “Girls! Are you alright?” asked Michelangelo. All nodded at him. They were too shocked to speak. “Sev! Take care of them. I will deal with him,” said Michelangelo and grabbed Yoshiro by his hair. “But your hand…” protested Renata. “I will take care of it, I promise,” he softly placed the back of his hand on her cheek and caressed it again. “You have to
Tikhon was pacing up and down in the hall of his huge mansion. His hands kept going to his moustache and he kept twisting the end of his handlebar. He was under the radar of the Interpol. He was questioned all day, all night the previous day by the police. He was furious. On one side he had to deal with the police and on the other, he had to deal with the repercussions of the nominations. Someone was ending the competition and he had no idea. He had to find out soon. That competition made everyone aware of the SMS. He just wanted an heir but now every eye was on SMS and its dealing. He didn’t like that at all. The mafia syndicate was hidden from the world. They were doing their job easily and silently. But because of his branding every slave and then killing of those slaves brought everything to light. Maybe his retirement was going to bring his downfall. He was strict while handling the business and knew he had to show his strict self to everyone again. How dare someone defy him? W
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
