Chapter 1

I stood by the seashore with my hoodie on, my face barely showing, waiting for our boat to come in. Beside me was Warren or as we would like to call him War because he was hot-headed, there was Kayden, we had been friends since childhood, as for Melinda, we're just acquaintances, I don't seem to flow easily with her and then, there was Bianca, my best friend since childhood, we got separated at some point but that's another story for later. There was also a huge truck behind us with Federico who appeared to be in his early fifties waiting in the driver's seat."This is taking much longer than it should" Warren groaned. "Dude, relax, they'll be here soon" Kayden put the cigarette in his mouth and blew a puff of smoke into the cold air."Bullshit" Warren isn't one to be patient, he always wanted things to be done quickly which sometimes puts our plan in jeopardy. I always go by the saying; slow and steady wins the race but this was frustrating me, we'd been here for more than 30 minute

Chapter 2

"Are you okay?" I nodded my head to his question. This man I barely knew saved me from those gangsters and unknowingly to him, from the police. When we lost track of those gangsters, he took me to a small cabin in the woods. I sat on the chair while he went to bring out a first aid kit."You own this place?" I asked in a low tone"Yes." he answered while checking the content in the first aid kit."Why did you take me here? We're in the middle of nowhere" I stared at him hoping to get a logical answer"You're safe, aren't you? By the way, what did you do to those men that made them want to kill you?" He asked curiously"Probably to keep their secret, I saw them kill a man" I shrugged my shoulders He nodded his head then continued with his question "I'm assuming they're the ones who shot you?" The man raised an eyebrow."Yes." I lied. I couldn't tell him it was the police otherwise he would ask more questions and probably turn me in."At this time, you should be indoors, they're so man

Chapter 3

"You shouldn't have done that to him" I furrowed my brows at Tyron, we were in the warehouse walking through the hallway, Alonso had summoned for me."Aren't you gonna say something?" I stopped walking and faced him, I was mad at him. When Tyron barged in on Lorenzo and me, he didn't give us a chance to explain, instead, he charged immediately at Lorenzo, I could see the rage in Lorenzo's eyes when Tyron landed a punch right across his face but at the same time, he was trying to control himself. I yelled at Tyron to stop but he didn't listen. He kept on fighting, poor Lorenzo was defending himself while Tyron was mostly attacking."What did you think I would expect when you were in nothing but your underwear and a t-shirt? I thought he did something" Tyron folded his arms"Yes, he did something. He treated my fucking wound" I hissed at him"I had no idea" "Don't you know who I am? I'm more than capable of taking care of myself" I walked away from him. Tyron was one of my uncle's mo

Chapter 4

"Who do you think is the snitch?" Bianca asked as she took a sip from the glass of tequila. We were at the bar in the warehouse."I don't know, it's been days and I still can't figure out anything" I tucked in a strand of my hair behind my ear"Whoever the person is, he or she must be putting on an A-game because they're good at acting" Bianca added"I know right?" I chuckled. "But not for long" An evil smile danced on my face."Hey look, Haze just walked in" Bianca nudged my elbow"I'm leaving" I stood up to leave but Haze spotted me and walked up to me. Haze was 2 years older than me, he was good-looking and quite charming, some of the girls here either wanted him or Warren or Kayden. Haze's signature look was his hairstyle, the base of it was black while the upper part was dyed Electric blue, he also had a slit on his left eyebrows."Damn gurl... Did you just fart? because you blew me away" He smirked at me thinking he had said something charming"Seriously? That's terrible!" I cri

"How's your thigh?" Lorenzo asked."It's fine, thanks to you. You should be a doctor" I joked, laughing a little bit"I wish I was" he chuckled Lorenzo and I spent the night together, we chatted for a while, had a few drinks, and danced until we became bored hence we decided to leave. I left a text for Bianca informing her I wouldn't end the night with them."Tell me about yourself" Lorenzo broke the silence between us. We were walking down the street, the street was lonely and the air was cold, luckily I had worn a jacket but it wasn't of much help "I'm just an ordinary girl" I answered simply, shoving my hands into the pockets of my trousers. "Tell me about yourself" I threw the statement back to him"I'm just an ordinary boy" he copied my answer. None of us said anything, we kept walking in silence."Lorenzo Hernandez" A male figure appeared in front of us from nowhere, I couldn't see his face clearly until he walked closer to us."Alessandro De Luca" I spoke under my breath, sho

Chapter 6

Lorenzo took me to a mansion, several men were walking about in the compound with guns in their hands. After a series of biometric scans, we got into the grand, majestic living room, this mansion was huge, it was quite comparable to the one I live in with my uncle. "Where are we?" I looked around the living room. There was a movie with no volume playing on the unbelievably super large flat screen tv on the wall."This is where I live" He answered. A man dressed in all black walked into the living room, he had dark brown hair with a red tint. He whispered something into Lorenzo's ear and then left."Who else do you live with?" I asked curiously."My father, mother and siblings" He answered.I wanted to ask another question, but another man walked in with a stoned face. He had the same facial features as Lorenzo; Light brown hair but hazel eyes. There was a slight resemblance between them although he seemed very familiar to me, I must've seen him somewhere. "What the fuck is she doing

Chapter 7

Raphael dropped me off as Lorenzo instructed. I stood outside the gate of my uncle's mansion, it was a few minutes after 4 am. I really hoped he was asleep because he'd be infuriated I went to the club and would be more furious that I was with Lorenzo. I walked into the building as quietly as I could, some men were up doing their security duties but I managed to sneak in without being caught. I slowly opened my room door, making sure it doesn't give a creaking sound. I startled when I saw Peter and Odette in my room."Shit! you guys nearly gave me a heart attack" I placed my hand on my chest as I closed the door."Didn't mean to" Odette scratched the back of her neck."We totally meant to" Peter folded his arms."What are you guys doing here anyway?" I took off my jacket and hung it on the rack next to the door."Father has been looking everywhere for you" Odette informed.I facepalmed, I was going to be in big trouble. Odette was a 14-year-old blonde-haired girl while Peter was 21.

Chapter 8

Alonso and I have been arguing for what seemed like hours. We were out talking to each other. Basically shouting, I couldn't even hear what he saw, I was just defending myself and I'm very sure he couldn't hear what I was saying too. "JACQUELINE!" Alonso yelled making me instantly keep quiet. When he saw that I was now quiet and ready to listen to him, he spoke in a calmer tone, yet angry. "I saw Raphael drop you off and now you're trying to say shit? Do you know who the fuck Anthony is?""He's the leader of The Matrix, I know that" I answered him "Yes and he's also a bloody murderer" "So are you, Alonso, so am I... it's the life we live, either kill or get killed. I know we're enemies but Lorenzo has saved my life twice" I tried to reason with Alonso. I know he's furious about the fact I got close to them."That's not what I mean Jacqueline. Anthony Hernandez killed your father, my only brother... he killed your mother and her unborn child" When Alonso said these words, my body f

Chapter 9

Keith was pissing me off. He refused to tell us who the traitor was. I made sure I had battered him and vented out all my frustration and anger on him violently before he was locked up.I was walking out of the room where I had tortured him angrily when Melinda came running up to me."Hey... I heard the guys caught an accomplice" Melinda spoke while panting."You heard right" I adjusted my jacket."Has he said anything yet?" She started walking with me when she realized I wasn't gonna stop for any form of conversation."You think he'd spill the beans so easily?" I scoffed."Then we have to strike him where it hurts the most so he could speak up" She suggested."Yeah, no shit, sherlock holmes" I rolled my eyes. "Sorry, I was just trying to help..." she paused and then looked up at me but I had nothing to say to her so she proceeded. "I know you see me as the coward in the group but I want to change that, I want to prove you wrong and do something beneficial"I stopped walking, then tu

Chapter 10

"Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?" Bianca asked worriedly.we were in a car parked outside the grande gate of a huge mansion."Yes, I got this" I took in a deep breathThis wasn't just a random mansion, this was the mansion I grew up in with my late parents. I got the keys to the mansion from Alonso, I was ready for some closure."Just know I'm a phone call away" Bianca assured me before I got off the car. I simply nodded before she sped off. I opened the gate and walked into the compound... I was expecting to see overgrown grasses but everywhere was clean. Alonso wasn't lying when he said he hired someone to take care of the compound. Everything was just nostalgic, I remember playing by the lawn with my parents. I looked around the compound holding the urge to cry.I walked to the majestic door of the building, inserted the key and it opened up... I walked through the passage to the living room. My parent's pictures were still hung on the wall."Mum, Dad" I sniffled
