View MoreGuillermo was jealous of the power Stefano was wielding and saw that he was in a vulnerable state, in search of a strange girl. He felt that was the perfect time to talk his brother into dropping his power as he was incapable at the moment. But he needed an idea that could drive his brother to the point of transferring his authority.“I must go meet Lucas, he would just know the right thing for me to do.”Guillermo thought to himself as he set out for the Morano's gang base at dusk so he wouldn't be seen by any of the KING gang members. He journeyed discreetly and met with Lucas, the Morano's gang leader who was a betrayer of his dad. Lucas was once his late dad's best friend.Guillermo got to their base and entered through the narrow gate, they welcomed him into the inner chambers where Lucas dwells.“I have been expecting you, son,” Lucas said as Guillermo approached him.“Expecting me?” Guillermo asked in shock.“Yes, of course, you may have your seat.”Guillermo, still in shock, s
Chapter FiveDesperate SearchStefano's eyes scanned the deserted streets, night after night with his heart racing with worries of not seeing Teresa. He couldn't really tell what was happening to him but only Teresa could make him feel this way. He knew she would have come looking for him if she was safe, there was something about her disappearance and it's been two months already without a glimpse of her or even her friend, Louisa. Stefano's anxiety kept on growing with each passing day.“Where was she? Has something happened to her?”Stefano's mind was filled with so many worst-case scenarios that he thought could possibly happen to Teresa. He thought about the rival gangs, the police, and the countless dangers lurking in the shadows that had probably seen him and Teresa together. Sadly he doesn't know her name, just a description of how she looks and her unique eyes was the only information he has about finding her. He didn't want to have the public search for her, so as not to put
It was a very gloomy but cold evening for Teresa and it's been days since she last saw Stefano. She has had so many failed attempts to leave the convent. Their desperation for Teresa to see him has now grown to be a curse rather than a blessing as it affected her mood in the process. Only Louisa could best relate to the mood swings Teresa had been having all day.Louisa began talking to Teresa, sharing some beautiful childhood moments with her but Teresa seemed to give deaf ears to all she had been saying as her mind had already journeyed in the thought of Stefano.“Teresa you can't continue like this,” Louisa asked with so much concern.“I am doing fine, Louisa. It's just one of those things.” Teresa immediately replied with a low tone.“One of those things? Teresa, I know you better than anyone. I love it the few times I have seen you happy and I desire to see more of that.”Teresa remained mute as Louisa kept on talking and pouring out her displeasure around her mood swings.“Shoul
Teresa woke up very early the next morning, and couldn't stop reminiscing about Stefano. She could feel her heart beat for him even though she didn't realize she was in love.“Good morning, Teresa,” Louisa said, bumping into Teresa's thoughts.“What have you been up to?” Louisa further asked.“Nothing really,” Teresa said shyly as she began to feel butterflies in her stomach.“I don't think it's anything, you are thinking about that guy right?” Louisa asked almost immediately.“Yes actually, I have not felt the way I did with him ever since I crossed paths with this earth,” Teresa said with a very wide smile as she got up from bed.They both agreed to go out again at night close to the club, most likely she would meet him again. She so much believed she would. So they agreed to meet up at the same time as they previously agreed and then went ahead doing their duties in the Convent.The Mother Superior noticed how bright and happy Teresa looked. She hasn't seen Teresa all happy asides
It was late at night, a few minutes to 9 pm. Teresa headed to the third floor as she earlier agreed with Louisa. She began to pace back and forth waiting for her Convent friend. A part of her felt Louisa was probably teasing her but she was determined to wait.“Just as I expected,” Louisa whispered just behind Teresa.Teresa was startled but not for long as all her mind was about them going beyond the walls.“Sorry to startle you that way, are you ready?” Louisa asked in confirmation.“More than ready, Louisa. Let's go already.”They both began to sneak downwards to the basement of the Convent. Desperately scaling through the active nuns discreetly. “The Convent has a basement?” Teresa asked in shock.“Yes it does, and they never share this with anyone unless it involves an emergency,” Louisa answered confidently.They walked through the basement and finally into the vibrant streets of East Harlem with a great determination to forget the sadness in Teresa's heart. Louisa decided to t
Teresa Ellis took a quick gaze out of the convent's stained-glass window, her thoughts began to drift deeply to the world beyond the sacred walls. As a novice nun that she became not by choice but by fate, she was expected to devote herself to prayers and service which her heart never agreed to because she yearned for a life of freedom and adventures.The Convent was situated in the heart of East Harlem and it was a sanctuary for the community. Teresa's mother was a devout Catholic and that was one of the reasons why the convent chose to nurture Teresa after her parents’ tragic demise. The sisters had now become Teresa's family but she couldn't just shake off the feeling that her life was meant for more beyond the Convent.As she began to ponder her future, a soft knock interrupted her thoughts. It was Sister Margaret, the convent's wise and compassionate leader. Teresa replied that she could enter the room."Teresa, My child, I need to speak with you," Sister Margaret said as her war
