Linda arrived at Classy Chic boutique with the big bag that was filled with clothes and shoes CEO Luca had gotten for her.She had hidden the bag in a safe place after running from him with plans to get it again.She was careful of her movement so she doesn't bump into the one she was hiding from. Luca.He would try to take her back to his place. She was sure of that.CEO Luca wanted to help her and she fears the consequences that would come on him would be great.Still, Lucia's life might be in danger if she sticks too close to her but it was better and consequences could be avoided.Lucia had no idea of her people and so didn't have plans to protect her but dear CEO Luca does, and he is desperate about it.The biggest question in her mind at the moment was how she would go about the model work with CEO Luca around.She heard one of the saleswomen say, she(Linda) would be on the papers and TV for advertising the designer wears the boutique had in stock but wouldn't that be an easy wa
Lucia's Ferrari 812 GTS came to halt on the side of a bungalow building at Amex Street and she alighted with Linda who raised her head to see the environment.It wasn't gigantic and luxurious as CEO Luca's place but this was good.Lucia wasn't after luxury houses even if she could afford one. She just wants to work and have a good life.Moreover, she stays alone and there was no need for something massive. Just simple and cool.She unlocked the trunk for Linda and once, she carried the bag of clothes like it was nothing and followed her to the entrance door.Officer Daniel came to halt not far from the building on his motorcycle and watched the ladies get into the building while laughing together.He cleared his throat and spoke to the mayor via the earpiece connected to his ear, "She stays with the manager of Classy Chic. I don't think she is trying to run from Luca else she would be out of Thornhill. What do you think?""Just as you suggest, Officer D. Probably a disagreement betwee
Linda stepped out of the guest room in a designer outfit and peeped down the deserted corridor.Her red hair was wet and now scattered around her face because she just took a bath.It was easy for her to use the shower system because Hannah had taught her the way to the last time she took her bath, at CEO Luca's place.As a fast learner, she could now take her bath by herself.She was angered when Luca had instructed Hannah to help her with the shower but now, she is grateful. Manager Lucia would not be able to detect the strangeness around her.A smile escaped her lips recalling how Luca told her not to move around butt-naked.She was beginning to miss the way he spoke.Linda touched her hair and noticed it was still wet. She had to do something about it and so peeped again to be sure no one was coming. As soon as she was sure, She control the molecules of water from her hair with her fingers and they evaporated into the atmosphere. Down here, she would have to be careful about t
Linda was seated in front of the dining table with a plate of stakes and another plate of microwaved chicken before her when Lucia arrived and had her seat opposite her.She asked, "Are you sure you don't want a plate of rice?"Linda shook her head and smiled, "I'll be fine with this"She took the glass of water beside the plate and drank buying time to watch Lucia use the cutleries to eat from the chicken on the table.She knew from the beginning that the knives and forks were for eating but had no idea how.Linda would have used her hands as always but this wasn't CEO Luca's place, so she mustn't proceed with whatever she doesn't understand until another shows her the way.Lucia must never find out she is just learning about this human world and--Lucia jerked her from the thoughts, "I guess you ain't used such cutleries for eating before. You don't have to be shy about it"She noticed Linda stalling and was quick to guess that.If Linda was truly from the streets. Then this new lif
Lucia's Ferrari 812 GTS stopped in front of the Classy Chic boutique and she alighted with Linda who was in a crop top and short skirt.It was a new day and they had come as early as 6 am to meet the makeup artist before the shoot that morning.Lucia had spoken with Linda the previous night to know if she wanted to have makeup on since she was pretty enough for the shoot, and Linda agreed.She believed the makeup should serve as a covering for CEO Luca not to recognize her on TV or in the papers.It was risky but she had to take the risk.She might not find a good boss as Manager Lucia out there."Alright, we set" Lucia locked the door of the vehicle and noticed Linda's absent-mindedness."You're gonna do just fine, Linda, I trust you"Linda forced a smile and followed behind her boss into the building."Morning, Miss Lucia" Saleswoman Mia greeted her boss as she came through and waved at Linda who responded with a wave.She was always the first to arrive at the boutique to get the do
Lucia and Linda arrived at Starbucks and they went in through the open glass door."Have your seat while I get our order"Linda nodded and watched her walk away.She turned to find a seat only to discover all eyes in the place were on her.What the hell!Lucia approached the barista coffee counter and the young lady ahead wore a smile, and asked, "What would you like? Miss""Um, Can I get two grande cappuccinos? Half-caf, please"The barista nodded, "A minute ma'am "Lucia turned to see Linda at an empty table where she tapped gently.She tilt her head in that direction and Lucia waved at her.Linda smiled and made to wave when a young man in a suit sat opposite her.She turned to him.Linda demanded calmly, "Can I help you?"He rubbed his chin and bit his lower lip, "Yes, I noticed you were alone and I stopped by to have a look at your face. You look great this morning"She took a deep breath and responded, "I'm not alone,"Linda turned in Lucia's direction to see her staring too.T
Linda and her manager arrived at the boutique and located the dressing room where Saleswoman Mia awaited their presence in a long overall coat she had on. She had called Lucia the moment the photography team was done with the necessary setting. Lucia approached the saleswoman and asked, "Are the brand dresses for the shoot ready?"She wanted them to begin with the people's favourite brand and--"I just thought you should know ma'am, your order from Italy arrived when you were away. 50 pieces of the K'S AMORE mermaid X gown" She told the manager whose eyes brightened that instant.K'S AMORE was a designer brand in Italy known for producing varieties of enticing gowns at the best and in different styles.Mermaid X was the latest gown released for sale this week and has barely arrived in the states.She never expected her supplier from Italy to import the top-notch designer dress this quickly to Thornhill.It was a miracle at the right time.Lucia was sure no boutique in Thornhill had
Nica stood in front of the glass wall in Luca's bedroom and viewed the city from that angle while he watched from the bed where he sat.He didn't have the plan to have s£x with her but it seems she was up for it.Why else would she insist she stays in his room and talks about the non-saint thing?She must be a bad girl and that's just the kind he would love to hit on.He would have loved to smash her but on the other hand, Luca doesn't want to give her something to cling on and try to use against him if he decides to reject her.Not that he cared. She would be crazy if he cancels the marriage whether or not he fvck her during her stay here.Or maybe that was an excuse for his path.He has not been himself since he met Linda and the craving he had for women was nerfed now.She was the only woman he felt a thing for now. "It's beautiful up here," Nica smiled and turned to see him force a smile. Her excitement knew no bound and she could imagine how the week would go with her betrothed
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
