|Rocco|

It was another night of pain for me. I had yelled at her for wanting to die when I myself do not want to live daily. I understood her pain and everything she was going through because even if our situations were different, the emotional pains it left was the same.

I couldn’t imagine how she was coping with her mother being in prison for several years. When Richy brought her profile, I realized that she had gone through a whole lot in the span of those years.

Since I rarely have a soft spot for people, I usually do not care about them but she was different. Something about her was soft as snowflakes and screamed to be protected. The only problem was that I didn’t know how to protect her without looking weak.

To hell with love, it makes you vulnerable and I cannot afford to be someone like that. At least, not at the moment.

That night’s episode of nightmare was terrible. I woke up to all my bed drenched in my own tears and a figure collapsed on my bed, under me.

    “What? What did you just say?” I flared up and pulled out my drawer to get my gun“Who dares to do that? Who is that fellow that did that?” I growled in anger as I threw my jacket on“The same white Egrets that attacked you the other day. I told you that we should find them and kill them but you were so carried away with many things. Rocco, you should stay focused and don’t let a nobody from nowhere distract…”, she lamented into my ears but I was too pissed to let her continue.I cocked my gun at her with cold eyes, “Don’t make me start the shooting from you. It’s better you keep that trap shut while your head is still intact” I was done with her bitterness. I knew she doesn’t like Irena and she was being protective of me but she had nothing to do with why I didn’t attack them yet. I didn’t see the need to attack at that point but now that they had given me reasons, they better be prepared.“I think getting the boys ready should be the next thing on the list”, I added, coldly and saw

    “The helicopter is ready on the rooftop. We cannot make it with the car”, Bojana informed me and we moved to the rooftop through the elevator.In ten minutes’ time, we were already at the seashore and indeed, they were there exchanging things in one of the containers at the port.Their men were heavily guarded and surrounded the area so tightly that even an ant would not crawl in unnoticed.“If we go into this without a strategy, we will lose our lives”, Richy warned as our helicopter hovered around the sky“So should I just fold my arms and let them continue transporting the money?”, I shouted at him, cocking my gun“You can stay back, I either get my money or die”, I fumed and fired out of the helicopter as it went lower to the ground to land.Bojana took the hint and also started shooting from her end. We didn’t miss any bullet, all our aims were perfect and precise. In less than three minutes, up to twenty of their men were lying in the pool of their bloods.“We need to cover up fo

    |Irena|Bojana finished supervising my checkup session and didn't fail to irritate and annoy me.“Serves you right. Why would you even make the mistake of entering Rocco's room? Be thankful that you were not sent to your early grave,” she sneered.I didn't know when I released a scoff at her words. I had known her to be annoying, but she was on a different level that morning. It was obvious that she loved what had happened to me. She probably would have giggled at and mocked me when she heard the news of the attack. “Would you have been happily dancing around my coffin?” I spat out, and she shrugged.“I'm not a good dancer, but I'll try my best”, she remarked, and made my inside churn. “You will be fine after the cast gets removed in two days’ time. There's no need to be dramatic about anything”, she concluded, and left the room. I stood in front of the mirror, checking out my neck immediately as she left. I could feel a faint wave of pain around my neck and throat as I swallowed

    |Rocco|I slept a lot that day, probably because I was so exhausted. I haven't slept that much and soundly in a long while.I woke up around two in the afternoon with a loud yawn and headed downstairs to have a meal, since I hadn't eaten for over twenty hours. As soon as I got to the sitting room, I saw Irena settling down for a movie, but sprung up immediately she saw me.She didn't say a word and just went straight to her room. I didn't read any meaning to it and just went on with my food before I went over to the safe where my money was being kept.I had kept that many funds in the grave while waiting for the day to use them, but foolish Marcelo made me bring them out prematurely. “The popular mafia boss also called the Tiger of Italy was found dead this morning with a bullet lodged in his glabella. We are yet to know his killer, but we believe this is another clash between the mafia gangs. The police are working tirelessly to narrow down the suspects. Kindly stay tuned as we brin

    |Bojana|I was so happy with all that happened between Rocco and Irena. When I heard about him strangling her and ran to his room, I was confused at first because Rocco wasn’t someone who would allow anyone come into his room at free will.“Did she warm his bed? Why did he turn so violent towards her?”, I muttered as I rushed to his room.I didn’t hold back on my comment of the incident serving her right when I went to check up on her during her treatment. I also witnessed the way he gifted her several things because he just wanted to apologize to her.The awkwardness and silence between the both of them made me happy because I thought that would drive a wedge between them and our relationship will be back to the way it was before he met her.The Rocco I had always known has always been cold. He doesn’t care about anyone’s feelings and wouldn’t give a fuck that someone was ignoring him but it was different in this case.He kept getting distracted during the meetings and other things t

    |Rocco|Strangely after I apologized to Irena, I felt a certain peace I couldn't describe in words. It was as if a huge burden was lifted off my shoulders. I wouldn't care if anyone jumped into the lagoon or walked through the fire, but I was bothered by the fact that a lady wasn't relating to me as she should.What went wrong?Her back looked calm and gentle as she gazed at the sky while sitting on the balcony. I have seen her do that for about three to four nights, and I couldn’t help but wonder why she was so obsessed with the sky. “You don't have to apologize because I wasn't upset in the first place,” she revealed to me after my apology, and I was dumbfounded. I was flushed with embarrassment because why did I even bother in the first place? She must have caught on and let out a small laugh to ease my tension.“I mean, it's not like what you did to me was laudable, but I wouldn't dwell too much on it because I was also at first. I shouldn't have entered your room or touched you

    |Irena|The gifts and flowers he kept sending only made me laugh. He was a funny man. He would rather apologize with gifts instead of saying it verbally. Well, at least he apologized. He would have gotten away with it and I wouldn’t been able to do anything about the situation even if I wanted. I was thankful for his thoughtfulness.“He still has to apologize verbally. I will not give him an easy pass”, I told myself and prepared to push him to the wall.I made sure to snub his existence and gave him the silent treatment in a way that wouldn’t irritate him but leave him wondering. I would leave his space whenever he comes in and if I had to be there with him, I would pretend as if he never existed.Even while doing all this, I was still keeping tabs on his health. I knew he had something he was battling for him to be that cold and having nightmares that made his sweat and violent like that but I wasn’t curious about exactly what it was.“I wasn’t raised to be nosy or go beyond my boun

I left for Florida five year ago and permanently relocated there after setting up my horticulture company.Father saw my love for gardening as I grew up and he decided to groom it. I was the one that groomed the garden till I left the house permanently ten years ago to live on my own. It was just a regular garden for him but when I made some touches, planted some flowers and trees, and made all necessary touch ups, he would proudly flaunt it to his guests.“You have too delicate hands. I fear you might not be able to do this job,” he once expressed his concern one evening as we took a walk in the garden.He had always wanted me to take over the family’s business but I had no business with guns and using my brain vigorously.

    Her body was moved to the morgue, while Rocco was also arrested alongside the other politicians, officers, and everyone involved in the scandal that had broken out. Luca was dead, so there was no way to prosecute him for what he had done.“We just got a video confession sent to the police mail. Ms Bojana confessed to everything,” one of the officers brought in a laptop to the investigation roomThey watched the video and also showed it to Rocco, who couldn’t believe his eyes. Bojana confessed to all the crimes with sufficient conviction that she committed them. She provided evidence of killing the people she killed, filmed Luca’s warehouse, and confirmed that she was in charge of smuggling the drugs and weapons.“All Rocco did all his life was chase the truth of his parents’ deaths. I was the one that joined hands with who placed Rocco on the seat as a puppet. He didn’t do anything. He will be stupid enough to take the blame for me so I am doing this in advance.”Tears rolled down h

    That night, Bojana opened her eyes after the anesthesia wore off and jumped down the bed with a groan. The nurse that was attending to her tried to keep her still but she only gave her a jab enough to put her to sleep.“Sorry! I didn’t mean to do this but I had to,” she whispered, helping the unconscious nurse on the bed so she could sleep properly before she rushed outHer first stop was a clothes shop, where she purchased black leather pants and a jacket.“Bring me the bike. If you tell anyone, I will kill you with my own hands,” she placed a call through to one of the men who was working with her in the automobile shop.Fifteen minutes later, the guy showed up with the motorcycle and a small briefcase he placed at the back.“Everything is intact. Please stay safe.”Ignoring his line, she jumped on the bike and fixed her helmet before she zoomed off“She’s in a murderous mode. I’m so sorry,” the man panicked as he watched her disappear into the street.***After a fifteen-minute rid

    Martin made sure all the dead men were given a befitting burial and took Bojana to one of the biggest hospitals.“Do everything to save her. I will make sure you get compensated handsomely.” He had instructed one of the doctors who got to work immediatelyThey had to wheel her to the theater, where they operated on her wounds and every other part that needed to be fixed before she was wheeled to the intensive care unit for further treatments and proper monitoring.Her recuperation was fast; it was obvious that she desired to live desperately. He couldn’t understand how she got to the front of the villa but a deep side of him was glad to see her again. He had been worried about her and where she could be. Also, from her appearance, one could see that she had been tortured brutally. All her body was filled with bruises and wounds. Her breathing was barely coming up; she was almost dead.“She got hurt a lot from the people who did this to her but her life is no longer in danger. However,

    Martin explained that he had gathered the men in the house to prepare them for the trip the following morning while he went out to meet with some of our businessmen. I made sure my absence didn’t affect our normal business so I put Martins in charge of the deals and meetings.“Tell them I went on a business trip whenever they ask of me,” I had given him that instruction while I was living with Irena in order to recover completely before coming back to the houseThe attacks were too sudden and also happened in a very short time interval so my body felt the hit more than it should. Irena also wouldn’t release me because she was afraid something else might happen to me while recuperating.“Luca is not going to stop until someone stops him. I know it is hard to lose your men; your feelings are valid but you know that we also need to move faster than them before they get their hands on the file,” she preached as I clutched my phone in my hands“Make sure Bojana is treated back to life.

    The sound of water dropping into the bucket placed under a leaking roof filled the atmosphere. The rotten and rusty smell of metals that had been immersed in liquids took over the air as the door to the basement gave way with a huge cranky noise.Men murmuring from afar was heard before it became closer with every of their steps. Within three minutes of intense marching and walking, they were finally in the large room that looked like an abandoned warehouse.“Let her down,” the coarse voice commanded, followed by the trooping sounds of legs that rushed to the rope’s controller.“I didn’t mean to go this far but what do we do? You just wouldn’t talk. I felt bad for hurting you but the information I need from is more important to me.” his legs found their way to the prisoner’s side as he voiced his concernsA soft groan dropped off her lips as she tried crawling to a comfortable position.

    I just realized that we haven’t really discussed Auntie and who exactly she was. She got introduced to me by my mother, and I grew up relying on her when we moved to the town. She helped me so much and brought me to stay with her when my mother got arrested for murder.We didn’t have any situation or opportunity to talk deeper about her, and I had always felt too comfortable to be bothered by all that. All Auntie did in her entire life was cook. She would cook even on days when she was sick to the bones.There was a time she collapsed while cooking because she was doing it nonstop. The funniest thing was that there was no customer to eat all that she had cooked because it was midnight. I came out to have a glass of water and saw her cooking aggressively before she passed out.“You should have just taken it slow. Why were you cooking this hard?” I scolded her as I attended to her in her room“I have to prepare it for them. If not, they might stay hungry the entire year,” she groaned in

    The stare of horror on their faces showed how scary my screams and dripping palms were. We all stood there looking at each other, my body trembling with hatred and disbelief. I couldn’t comprehend all that I had just watched. A head banging headache swept me off my feet as my chest rose and fell.Before I knew it, I was on the floor with dim eyes. My body couldn’t bear the weight of oppression from my emotions. I had broken down once again.“Let’s help her up! Irena!” Auntie’s scream barely kept me awake before I passed out finally.I woke up to the fluid being passed in my body and saw the same doctor that treated Rocco during the first gunshot standing close to the door and discussing with the men. I couldn’t hear what they were discussing, and I wasn’t even in the right frame of mind to eavesdrop.“We will talk more about it when she wakes up,” was another line I heard before I slept off again.I woke up to see everyone having dinner, and they all rushed to my side when they saw me

    |Irena|I realized they were trying to distract us as I cried in the morgue. My mother’s body was filled with several marks that had come from bullying and torturing. It was then it dawned on me that all those bruises I saw when I last visited her were from the maltreatment she had been facing in the correctional center.“What a foolish daughter I am. I didn’t even think deeply into what the bruises could mean. How did I end up believing that she only tripped and wounded herself?” several thoughts filled my mind as we headed to the center to get the rest of her thingRocco held me in his arms as Paul drove the car silently to the location. His soft but huge arms were rubbing my shoulder to keep me calm, but I had so much going on in my head even though my mouth was not moving.The guards at the center were taking longer than usual to attend to my request until Rocco stepped in. I had previously told him to wait for me in the car while I go alone to get her things but when I saw that t

    “We have to move faster than their investigations. We have done a lot to keep this buried for years. They cannot just come to ruin all our hard work at this point,” one of the men sitting at a round table with sushi and several sashimi dishes glaring at them.“That’s why we have been taking them out one after the other. We cannot allow any loophole in this operation. One of our men is on the way to give us the report on the progress of the operation,” another responded, reaching for his cup for a drinkThe other men released a uniform groan as they released their ties, buttering their frustrations. They had all been unsettled ever since Irena found the files they had been searching for all year. They had turned the house upside down over and over but none of them could find where her mother kept it.“We already concluded that she didn’t have the file.
