The machine gun was firing at the gate. The metals kept clanking and clinking and ricocheting off the gate. One guard was lying down on the ground, dead. Another was firing his gun by hiding behind the gate. The main gate was half-open, half-closed. Severino had to save his boss.

He jumped out of the car, hid behind the SUV’s door and started firing in the direction of the machine gun. The sun was facing Severino making it difficult for him to see who was firing. He could only see a semi-truck that had a machine gun mounted on it.

The lack of police was a bane as well as a boon for the mafia. But at that moment Severino wanted the police to come. He wanted anyone to come help him save his boss. His mistake, he forgot how skilled Michelangelo was.

Michelangelo jumped from the car and grabbed a gun. He kept shooting at the semi-truck and ordered everyone, “give me cover.”

“What? No!” shouted Severino but by that time Michelange

    Severino jumped on the truck to see what Vicktor was pointing at. Vicktor had lowered the shirt of the man who was shooting at them and his bare back was staring in his face. “What the hell?” shouted Severino when he saw the word ‘Odal’ branded on the back.“That means he was a slave?” asked Michelangelo.“Yes, a slave, a slave bought and branded in the Auction Ring. He was sold by us and he attacked us on someone’s orders,” replied Vicktor.“Sev! Check the other two men,” commanded Michelangelo.Severino jumped off the truck and went to the driver's side. He took off the driver’s shirt and gasped when he saw Odal branded on his back. The same was the case with the passenger-side goon. He too was an odalisque, he too was a slave. “What is happening?” asked Severino. “Who dare hit us with our slaves?”“Slaves are expendables,” said Michelangelo. “That’s why people use them.”“He is not wrong,” said Vicktor.“What do we have here?” suddenly a female voice attracted their attention.

He groaned as he saw the name. they were going to ask him about the attack. It was sure that Vicktor would have informed them about the same. “Yes, Dad,” said Michelangelo. “Are you okay?” asked Vittore. “Yes, Dad, I am fine. One of guards is dead and one is injured. Other than that we are fine,” said Michelangelo. “I don’t care about others, I care if you are okay,” snapped Vittore. “They worked for me, you should care about them. They had families too,” scolded Michelangelo. “You and your bleeding heart. That will hurt you one day,” said Vittore. “Most parents praise their kid for being kind, not like you. You always taunt me. It’s a good thing, dad. Do you want me to be like Narciso?” asked Michelangelo. “In today’s world, you need to be like Narciso,” said Vittore. “I don’t want to be like him, a n

Angela walked in at the right moment or she would have taught Yoshiro some manners. “You know him?” asked Renata to Angela. “Yeah, we had a video chat in the morning. He is the client I told you about. I was just concerned when I saw a lot of people standing outside. What happened to him?” asked Angela. “Nothing! And if he is the client I am not working on his campaign,” said Renata and walked out of the room. “Ren! Renata!” shouted Angela and tried to run after her. But then she had a client to tend to. “Will you be, okay?” “Yeah, yeah, I have fresh clothes. Don’t worry,” said Yoshiro. “Please wear those and I will meet you in my cabin,” said Angela. “Um… Ms. Renata left her jacket. Could you send her back?” “I can give that to her,” said A

    The soft orange light woke Renata up. Her alarm was still sleeping but she woke up. The chatter in her brain didn’t quiet down. She was still thinking about Yoshiro. She was thinking of punishing him but how, she had no idea. Should she complain to the police about sexual assault. But where was the proof? Instead, she physically assaulted him, she bit his lips and there was blood. Maybe everything would backfire. She took a deep breath and walked to her balcony. The soft morning light mixed with mildly cold air hit her face. They were like an elixir to her senses. The chatter in her brain quieted down. As she woke up early, she thought of exercising. While she was doing push-ups, her alarm started ringing and she knew it was time to get ready for work.

    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.

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

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.

    “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

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.

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.

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.
