After 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.Four bulletproof SU
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
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.
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
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 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
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
