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
Luca remained motionless in the river for minutes with entangled thoughts.He did not shed a single tear as a part of him already predicted she to reject him.Maybe he was wrong to make the move now, but, for how long would he wait before a perfect time comes?Now, things were going to change between them. She probably won't see him the same way anymore. Fvck!He eventually got the courage to let go of the thoughts and find his way out of the waters.He climbed up the cliff rock until he got to the top and tried to roll over when a piece of the rock broke causing him to lose balance and fall but a hand caught him.Luca raised his head to see her luminous blue eyes glaring widely at him.She raised him with ease and he rolled over to see her take a few steps from him."Linda...?" He had difficulty believing she had stayed up here instead of leaving.Could she be shy and that was the reason she left?He staggered to his feet without breaking eye contact with her, "Linda, I--""Don't!"
It was a new day again and Luca maximised his morning by reviewing the files sent by his Uncle the previous day.He went through roughly that afternoon but today, he went word for word without missing a minute detail. Every lead he has ever gotten a hold of always comes to a dead end and for this one, he would ensure nothing was left out.After months of no lead, there is finally one.Whoever paid the CCTV operator to wipe the footage and go into hiding was no doubt responsible for hiring the assassin who murdered Nico.His name was Salamanca Aldo, a 32-year-old scumbag who worked for Danto security; a CCTV company somewhere in Naples town where Nico was murdered in cold blood. He now stayed in an unknown place in America with a fake passport under the name Alexander Eugene and has used the fake passport for several registrations in hotels, job applications and others which were all stated in the culprit files.Luca had no idea where to start yet as there was no information regardin
Linda collapsed into the waiting chair in front of Manager Lucia's office and shut her eyes for a moment to consume all that had happened.The previous day, CEO Luca had taken her completely with a surprise kiss she never expected not after asking her to be his girlfriend, his woman. She always thought he saw her as a friend since he was responsible for rescuing and taking care of her when she arrived in this world. She always felt that strange reading in his emotion towards him and would always categorize it as his sincere care for her but that day, she got to realize it was more than just caring for her.CEO Luca was in love with her and wanted them to be together.While trying to recover from the shock, he came with a mind-blowing kiss which exploded her mind in ecstasy.It was her first and that is enough reason for her to be bewildered and pull away in embarrassment.Also, it wasn't right.What was going on between CEO Luca and her?He was putting himself in danger by professin
Matt was seated with legs crossed on a swivel chair in the operation room while mulching a hand full of popcorn from a small plastic container.His eyes were fixed on the several screens fitted on the wall and he assured his attention was undivided, not even when he was taking a snack at this time of the evening.He suddenly paused mulching when he noticed three trucks pull over beside the entrance gate of the villa and soon enough armed men in black began to troop out of the truck box in their number."Sh*t!" He cursed.A part of him wanted to assume they were hired by the boss but he won't do that without informing him to turn a blind eye to the footage. These were intruders in the boss' territory and he wasn't around.He saw Luca leave the villa a few minutes earlier.Matt rolled backwards quickly and hits the blue button on the wall, then the red button which was right beside it.The blue button was programmed to jam all electric doors including the remote-controlled gate from be
Luca alighted from his red sedan which came to stop at a hilly spot and retrieved binoculars from the truck before climbing to the highest point.He exhaled heavily and turned to the abandoned military base before him."Perfect place to hide" He mumbled and brought out his phone to one more time confirm the location of the tracker he attached to the briefcase."Somewhere here" He used the night vision binocular to get a magnified image of the area and noticed the movement of people in the main building at the centre of the base.Some appeared to be armed with weapons to the teeth and the others, looked casual but he could tell they were federal agents with pistols tucked inside their suits.Since Agent Stone had not reached out to them or driven here himself, they would be wise to prepare for the worst. Him.Federal agents were trained professionally, different from hired henchmen and that would make the chances of this operation being successful 50/50.They were good at handling guns
Lucia was getting prepared to retire to bed that evening after dining with Linda who was now using the restroom. She was closing the blinds of the living room when she noticed a man in black across the street, stylishly stealing glances at her bungalow. He seems to be talking and when he turned his head, she was opportune to see the earpiece connected to his ear. She gasped and tried to compose herself so she wouldn't freak out."What the..." Lucia peeped out one more time and saw the mystery man get into a waiting Uber and drove off from the street. If she was a normal person in this city, she would knock it off as something to be ignored but she was the sister of the mafia underboss who was good at getting himself into trouble. And she also escaped three murder attempts already. Everything was suspicious to her now and--"Are you alright?" Linda's voice caught her unaware from behind and she almost screamed while holding onto her chest. She turned to her with a frightened lo
