Luca came to halt with Linda in front of a mannequin wearing a new designer dress when Lucia finally caught up with them. She puts on a smiling face and cleared her throat. Lucia didn't want to appear bad in front of the lady her brother had come with and so she would erase sending him away from her mind. Luca had been away since the last time and she only saw him on TV. The super-rich man of Thornhill. Everyone knows Luca Antonio and so his face would always haunt her whenever she turned the TV on. Moreover, there were several customers close and she wouldn't want to cause a scene. He was here as a customer and not her brother and she'll attend to him, and his beautiful woman. She couldn't help but admire Linda's glowing skin. Luca always loved going for the best. Lucia finally spoke, "So is there anything you have in mind particularly?" Luca was a billionaire and would let his woman go for the latest fashion, that should be the reason they were here. Luca turned his face
Nico Antonio would always remind him once in a while, 'I love you, Son' and she always said it well.Not Lucia or any member of the mafia would ever say this.Linda said the sentence casually but only if her innocent side realizes it meant something big.He forced a smile again, understanding she meant no harm and was only expressing her joy.They just met and he doesn't think she would fall in love with him that easily and quickly.Well, he's Luca Antonio and women fall in love with him wherever he goes but Linda was different. Completely different.She doesn't give a damn about his position and status.She stared keenly at him and he noticed.Linda whispered to him, "You've been smiling all day"Was she taking note of his mood or it was just obvious?He was avoiding awkward moments and questions by using a smiling face.Instead of Luca responding, he still smiled like he was programmed to.Linda scoffed and unannounced grabbed his chin with her hand.He was shocked and never expecte
Luca arrived at the villa and got down to unlock the door for Linda but she already did and their eyes met.She shrugged."I'm a fast learner"Of course, she was.He unlocked the truck and carried out the heavy bag with one of his hands when she collects it with her both hands and made to move but he stopped her."Let me help you with that"She was obviously struggling to carry the load."Do not bother, CEO Luca"Linda dropped the bag in front of him and then raised it to his face with just two of her fingers.He was not shocked and instead, proud of her.She had proven to be extraordinary and so nothing should surprise him about her anymore. Luca nodded and watched her stagger away with the bag towards the entrance and he couldn't help but scoff.She was being dramatic and always succeeded in drawing his attention. Linda loved to be free and funny around him.He arrived at the living room to see Hannah placing a tray on the dining table through the glass wall. Luca had earlier cont
Luca turned to her with a suspicious look, "You know everything about me already, everyone in Thornhill knows me" He's one of the most popular people in the city and his face was on the television and papers often but since she is not from this place, answers a lot. "Not really, I heard people say things about you, CEO Luca, Is your family with you?" He took a deep breath wondering why she asked but still responded, "My family is far away, Linda, can we not talk about me?" She nodded gently and continued eating slowly. There was silence for a moment and Luca couldn't tell if he sounded harsh towards her. He wasn't just ready to discuss his family issues with her. Linda did not have to know his mafia foundation although he already gave a hint she probably ignored the previous day. She was only trying to be jovial and have fun since she explained her predicaments to him already. She was free down here. Luca raised his head to see her gorgeous face when she choked on the food.
"You bastard!" The voice of a macho man echoed down Beacons street as he was almost knocked down by a sedan vehicle moving at extreme speed, overtaking vehicles like its life depended on it.The red sedan cornered at an intersection and finally came finally came to halt at the side of the road with much smoke emitting from the exhaust pipe.Luca who was the driver of the vehicle roared angrily and punched the steering wheels repeatedly causing the horn of the sedan to sound loud.He tried to catch his breath but was losing it already.It was late into the night already and the street was empty as many stores were closed.He had spent the last hour driving around Thornhill, trying to find Linda but to no avail.That act of his was crazy as she was definitely far away from the city to a place he would never find her but Luca himself was crazy now.He was crazy over her.She came as an angel with joy and happiness into his life only to vanish and go on her own.He was not going to see he
Hannah moved quickly from the kitchen when she heard the noise made by a vehicle outside the building.Boss Luca must have returned to the villa after he left for about an hour ago.She didn't know where he went but was sure it concerns Linda who she now believes drugged her good boss and probably stole from him.Linda was an evil woman in disguise and a part of her felt guilty that she had helped her escape from the villa.Maybe she could have stopped Linda from leaving and checked on the boss first to ensure he was fine.Well, she never expected such this to happen.Boss Luca probably hated her now and might fire her for being negligent. She had to make up and show him she was truly sorry.Maid Hannah arrived at the corridor that connected to the living room and waited for Luca to walk there.Luca paused immediately and wondered what she was doing awake at this time of the night. She bowed quickly with her hands in front of her, "You're back, Boss" He approached and called out he
Warning, Chapter contains gruesome violence...Luca stepped out of his walk-in closet now in his usual work outfit: A pinstriped suit with a tie and a black hat that matched his black boots. Just as his name 'Black Viper', the outfit must flow and blend with the darkness.Well, the usual dress code of the mafia was black.On his bed were two briefcases: a black and a white with black stripes.He opened the white and inside were arranged his weapons for operation.Few in number but powerful enough to get the job done.Luca took the two FNX-45 Tactical handguns that already had silencers attached to them and slide one behind him and the other into his suit.He arranged two mark-three knives into his suit and that was all for an underboss like him.This wasn't a mafia war, just little miscreants who wriggle their little asses in a place they shouldn't.He grabbed his phone from the cabinet in his room and reviewed the last message that was sent from the mayor, minutes after his uncle had
A Ferrari 812 GTS came to halt at the entrance of Classy Chic boutique and Lucia stepped out in a white crop top with her bag and locked the door of the vehicle.It was Tuesday morning. Another day at work and she wasn't tired.Lucia could employ a manager to supervise and manage the sales at her boutique but she chooses to handle the role herself and she did it professionally.Lucia was a hardworking woman who did not want to seat with idle hands.She had achieved her life goal of surviving without her mafia family and wasn't relenting yet.Her next goal was to remain at the top amongst her competitors in the boutique market.She had many connections and was often on her device to order and ship latest brand down to Thornhill and remain the bird at the top of the tree.Her competitors were stealing and using her methods now to attract customers and so, she had to do something quick about it.Lucia needed to keep the current customers and many more at her side of the market and the pr
Linda gulped in air with an innocent look on her face and continued, "I know I'll be mortal but I become invisible to Father. You tell him I'm dead and he'll believe, that's what it means when my energy cannot be traced""Are you crazy right now? You'll age and die as a human. You'll become weak and helpless" Zilda tried to control her voice but it was rising already."I know what I'm talking about" Linda assured her and she fired strongly, "No you don't, you want me to announce your death to Father? Are you serious right now?""I am. I want to be with him forever and you know it, read my heart and tell me I don't love him"Zilda's head dropped on hearing her sister and blinked her eyes."I know you love him, Sister, but that love would be the death of you both. If father finds out--"Linda cuts in sharply. "He won't. He trusts you. Don't tell him I was killed by humans because that would only motivate him to launch an Invasion. Tell him I took my energy orb out and killed myself, I j
Luca entered the elevator with Zilda and as the box went up, she mumbled. "I'm sorry about your Mother. I know I deserve to die just like Jacob. A bullet between my eyes and then my face is destroyed by bullets. I was the one who executed the job" "You talk about death when you cannot be killed" Luca finally decided to have the conversation regarding the murder of Nico.Zilda sighed and rubbed her temple. "You had the opportunity to kill me with the one thing that could kill us but you did not because of Linda. I understand you're in love with her" Linda grits his teeth and shook his head. "At first, it was because of Linda but then I realized there was more to my holding back. Don't believe I won't do it when I get the chance to" "You realized you're no different from me, a monster who has killed innocents. Mothers and Fathers" Out of rage, Luca gripped her neck to the wall of the elevator and stared dangerously into her eyes. "I'm nothing like you and the people I've killed are
Luca brought the BMW 7 Series to a stop and alighted with Zilda to meet the family's consigliere who was waiting with the Finest White gangsters behind him, still holding their weapons tightly."It's a hell of blood out there, Uncle" He clicked the door of the vehicle lock with the remote in his hands."The cops came around. We would have begun shooting but they just loaded the bodies into trucks and left. Someone must have reported the gunshots, yet they didn't do what cops do. Is there something you ain't telling me?" Danny asked with a suspicious look and he was right.The cops were supposed to call for backup, investigation, questioning, making arrests and typically everything the police should do but the deal with the president had helped to settle everything.A call from the president is enough to make them walk away without investigating further."I have contacts, Uncle" "Contacts? Contacts powerful enough to make the cops work for you. What am I missing? Boy" Danny knew his
It wasn't but surprising that the president could guess the receiver of his call. "You don't recognize my voice but I bet you believe I'm the only one who could come this far. I've been on your list, how wonderful to know""You're an international criminal, Mr Antonio. You--"Luca interrupts him rather sharply. "Don't bother mentioning my criminal counts, Mr President. You don't know them better than the one who committed them. Just as we know in the underground, you work with Mizzeti. They work for you and you work for them, the syndicate helped you climb to power but there is no evidence "" You know much, just like top contributors in the international um underground syndicate. May I ask how you have come into possession of this device? "" Let's say I have your boy, Jacob on his knees with a gun to his head. He called for help to deal with me so I believe you know what the fvck is going on " Luca's voice was calm as he rest his back against the wall with a big smirk on his face.
Nica gasped in shock when she heard this and turned her eyes to him. "What are you doing?""What should be done daughter" He responded coldly and drove the vehicle from the place speedily.Not long, the chopper on the hotel roof opposite Luca's villa hovered up and flew towards the building.It was approaching and begin letting out missiles when a bullet out of nowhere broke through the screen and hit the pilot on the head.The chopper went zigzag in the air and finally crashed at the side of the road, going aflame with smoke ascending into the atmosphere.The shooter was Matt who stayed hidden on the rooftop of the skyscraper behind the hotel, a good vantage where he would not be easily noticed by any.The building was officially bought and owned by Luca for fun and so, he never moved in for months until the use for it came today.He spoke calmly into the earpiece connected to his eyes. "You were right. The old man is trying to hit your place. I have one chopper down and another migh
Jacob Mizzeti brought his Audi A4 to rest in front of Luca's gate before bringing his phone to make a call to the consigliere of the family."I just got there. Do you still have eyes on me""Eyes on you, Boss. Our men are on standby for your order. Whenever you make the call"He exhaled and tapped slowly on the steering wheel. "She is my only daughter, Theo. No mistakes must be made. Once she is out, whatever happens, happens. Stick to the plan and make sure our men do too""Boss, are you sure about this?" Consigliere Theo demanded with a concerned voice and he responded almost immediately. "I'm old and have achieved two-thirds of my goals already. She is just a child""I promised Layla to get her back""We both know Luca Antonio wants your head, going to him is dangerous and you might not leave alive""The goal is not to walk out alive, Theo. Luca Antonio would not stop coming for us if we don't deal with it now and I believe the threats on my daughter are not fake. He is a monster a
Matt was awakened from his unconsciousness by the noise of the armed gangsters who marched towards the burning bungalow in a group.He rubbed his eyes dizzily and on seeing the scene, they cleared instantly and survival instincts kicked in.He rolled underneath the BMW 7 Series and tried to control his breathing.The last thing he remembers was getting hit by the red-haired lady who assaulted his boss and--That's typically everything he could recall. "Fvck!" He cursed silently and managed to pull his device from his pocket. Matt was about to try and call his boss when he heard the screaming of the gunmen. He crawled out of underneath to his feet and watched the flames from the building swerve in the direction of the armed men, setting them on fire. The others who tried to run from getting consumed were gunned down from behind and when he lifted his head, he saw Luca coming from behind the building with the three ladies behind him. "Get the fvcking car started! Matt" Matt quickl
Somewhere Else... Earlier... Jacob Mizzeti was awakened from his short nap by the ringtone of the device trapped inside the book he was reading before he fell asleep. He rubbed his eyes gently and retrieved the device from the take the call. "Secretary Theo. It's 7 pm. You should know I wouldn't want to be disturbed" Jacob sat properly on his swivel and ran his fingers over his dry grey hair with heavy eyes. "There's a problem, Boss," The caller told him and his brows furrowed at the words of the family's consigliere. "Something you can't handle and need my attention is surely a problem" He paused for a second and resumed speaking, "What is it this time? Are local gangsters jumping transports again? Take their heads, as usual, and send them a message" Jacob massaged his bearded face, waiting for a response. "It's something bigger than em' all. A fvcker you wouldn't want us to underestimate" The consigliere informed him and his face turned ugly at the instant. This is no good
"Yeah. Put her over there"Luca dropped Linda on the sofa and slowly pulled his arms from under her before turning to see Zilda who had a gun pointed at him."Don't even think of it, you won't get my gun" She smirked and turned to Lucia who still had no idea what was going on, "You, shut the door. We wouldn't want to invite the neighbours"She reluctantly shuts the door and joined them in the living room."I don't know who you are but--"Zilda shunned her with a rather dangerous glance. "Keep your pep talk to yourself""It's not a pep talk. I'm not encouraging whatever the fvck you're doing, Linda twin""Well then, shut the fvck up" She tilt the gun to Lucia who gasped in fear. "Let down the gun, Zil. You've shot me already, that's enough" Linda her hands at her sister and sighed with a heavy heart. Luca was concerned, he feared for Linda, more than her look-alike who had a gun on them. The wound in Linda's arm looked messy and he still wondered how the bullet had affected her. We
