The red sedan arrived at Lucia's place and she alighted with Luca leaving Matt who was behind the steering wheel and Carlo beside him.They had done a good job to clear pieces of evidence that linked them to warehouse crime before retiring for the night.Weapons that carried their fingerprints were rid into the boot of the vehicle.Luca leaned over the window of the vehicle and said to them, "Enjoy the night you two. Hannah will get you whatever you want. I'll come over by the morning"Carlo was not listening as his eyes were fixed on Lucia who soon noticed. She scoffed and escaped his eye contact."Goodnight, Boys" Luca smacked the bonnet of the vehicle and they drove off speedily. He turned to meet Lucia who had a frown on her face, "Your friend. He keeps staring at me in a way" "Carlo?""Whatever he's called. It creeps me out" She complained and he chuckled, "Do you like him?""What? Forget about it, okay? You're not helping" She folds her hands and they approached the door of t
Luca staggered from behind a vehicle, clenching tight to his bleeding stomach and raised his head to see Mayor Perez pointing a pistol at Linda's head.He was panting heavily with his face covered in blood."Do you really think she will be safe!? You don't deserve good things, Luca. You don't deserve her" The old man groaned angrily and before Luca could say anything, he released quick shots into her back.Luca gasped out of the bad dream and opened his eyes to see Linda wrapped around him on the grand sofa with their faces up close.They had slept off in each other's arms and it felt pretty good.He wanted to remain this way with her forever and--"I thought you were friends"Luca tilts his head backwards to see Lucia standing at akimbo in a red double-breasted suit with a white turtleneck sweater inside."Hey," He managed to groan and rubbed his eyes.She scoffed and took her hands down, "Can you let her go now? It's morning""Why are you dressed this way? Don't tell me you're going
The red Rolls-Royce came to halt in front of Classy Chic and Linda made to unlock the door but Luca stopped her.He alighted from the vehicle and unlocked the door from the outside for her.She had cold feet for a moment and eventually got down to meet the smile on his face.Linda tried her best not to snicker but she eventually did and apologize still trying to hold herself, "Sorry"Luca chuckled as he leaned against the door and looked her in the eyes, "What's amusing?""I don't know, you're extra nice this morning" She did not break the eye contact with him until he did with a muffled laugh, "When have I not been extra nice"She bit her lower lip and nodded gently, "You've been nice. Today is just different. Bringing me here the first time to get human wear. You've been nice to me, CEO Luca"The only line that caught his attention was 'human wears'He cocked his brows at her, "Human wears? Is that an answer to my old question?""What question?" Her forehead furrowed in confusion."
"....I'm back on seat. Yeah. That will be all for now" Lucia hung up and returned the landline device to her office desk and took a deep breath before raising her head to see her staring at her from where she sat on the couch."I guess we're gonna have another shoot pretty soon and--" She was interrupted by the knock on the door and they both tilted their heads to see the stockroom clerk step inside the well-conditioned office and shut the door behind."Oh, Nora..." She called out and rest her back on the swivel chair.Nora Miller stopped in front of the desk and dropped some record books in front of the manager, "Um... It's good to have you back Lucia. Mia told me you were on seat now""That's right" She nodded and Nora continued with a concerned look, "I don't know if I'm been-- I hope you feel good now""I'm better, Nora. Thanks for the concern. Are these the records I wasn't around to review?" Lucia asked and picked one.She flipped through."Yes. Saleswoman Mia went through it ye
Luca called Carlo Don El Marco and raised the phone to his ear, "Hey, I want to ask. Who else knows about Lucia apart from the mayor?" He demanded in the lowest tone possible."Why are you creep talking? Well, the cop man who I believe you took care of. Just the two of them""And you're sure he did not inform anyone or make a call about it?" He asked.Carlo paused, then answered, "I was with him the entire time. Only the cop man knows. Is everything alright? Did Lucia get taken again?"Luca could notice the desperation in his voice."She is fine. I just needed to confirm. Goodbye Carlo" He hung up the call and took a deep breath.Lucia was his major concern in whatever would go on.Linda could take care of herself."That's right" He called Lucia and walked outside the building."I'm at work, Luca""I know, give the phone to, Linda" He instructed her and she scoffed, "Are you serious right now? We're busy right now, I'll call you later""It's important, Lucia. Give it to her. Now""Fi
The woman let go of the gun and made to race away but Linda pushed her right hand forward and a force hits the blondie strongly against the wall. She grunt in pain as she fell to the ground roughly.Linda approached and punched her face so strongly that she passed our instantly. She(Linda) was furious because her real self had been revealed to Manager Lucia. She didn't expect the intruder to fire at her that quickly. Good thing she did though. Manager Lucia was safe now. She turned to see Lucia pick one of the bullets from the ground and examined it carefully. Lucia gasped in bewilderment and shook her head, "The bullets are real. How are you not dead?" She raised her head to see Linda who sought for the right thing to say. "It's not rubber. This is fvcking real!" Lucia was beginning to freak out as she rubbed the bullet with her fingers. Did she just see Linda survive shots in the head? The bullet did not penetrate. How is that possible? "They don't affect me. That's how I
This wasn't the time to cover up.Maybe Lucia deserved to know about her.He nodded slowly and she gasped."Don't freak out, she won't hurt you" Luca assured her and she sniff, and turned away from him, "Same thing she said. Don't tell me not to freak out because I am already""Where is Linda" He demanded with a raise of his brows.Lucia locked the door and said to him, "Come with me"She took him to the basement to meet Linda who was still securing the body.Luca gasped when he saw the unconscious body, "What the... Is she dead?" He turned and cocked his eyes at Lucia who shook her head, "Just passed out""What's going on here?" He asked, needing an understanding of the current situation."I recognize her as the one who drugged and took me front the hospital. You apparently killed her boyfriend or rather a fiancé and she came here for revenge, she probably thinks I did it" Lucia shrugged funny face.The situation was not supposed to be funny but having escaped getting killed there ti
Sarah's heart stopped beating for a second as the gunshot echoed loudly in her ears.She was supposed to feel pain but she felt nothing, making her believe she was dead. The gun was raised to her head so the bullet was no doubt deep into her brain already. It took a few more seconds for her to realize she was still alive. Flesh and blood. Sarah blinked her eyes open and turned slowly to see Luca Antonio still pointing the gun at her with a cold stare. "I missed my shot, maybe we should try again" He cocked the weapon and she gasped. Sarah knew with no atom of doubt that he intentionally missed. A person like Luca Antonio would not make such a mistake. Was he trying to torment her right now? Luca lowered the 9mm and his husk voice sounded, "I've never done this before. Someone says I have light and darkness within me. For once, the light calls me to back down" He went and look her in the eyes. She tried to look down when he yelled. "Look me in the eye, Sarah" Sarah panicked
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
