Do you have gems? Then give it to my book, please. My book is hungry.
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
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
