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
"Hey..." Linda tried to hold Lucia from behind but she broke free and turned to her, "Are you in support of this too? I don't want you to feel entitled to protect me. I want you to live the best of your life as yourself" "He is not forcing me. I want to make sure you're safe. CEO Luca would not do anything to cause you harm" Linda tried to calm her but she could be dramatic when she chooses to and Luca knew this. She turned to him and continued, "You have to stop. Just let go of this game and be happy for once. You can't keep putting us in harm's way"Luca grits his tooth and turned to her with a fierce look, "Do you think I do it intentionally? I can't leave the game because I'm the game, and just when I think it's all over there'll be some motherfvxjer in the shadow waiting for his turn. Listen to me, everything is handled now and no one would be bothering us. anymore "She bit her lower lip and rushed her fingers through her hair, "You keep saying this, Luca, and then someone els
Never in his life had he thought a day like this would come.He had dedicated his life to the course of his family from childhood and earned his title as the underboss of the gang.True love was never something that would cross his mind.Women were nothing but sexual objects to him and he would change them as he wants.No one ever complained about his lifestyle because he does his job as the underboss well except Nica;his mother was against that side of his life and Lorenzo would always shield him from her.That is one reason he could never believe Nica had a hand in his betrothal.He planned to become the boss of the mafia group after Lorenzo and getting married was never part of his aim.To one who would not just be a sexual object but would have to spend the rest of his life with her and raise kids.He was never prepared for it.Coming down to Thornhill, he continued on his exploit with the women; White women this time was a new adventure for him and to attain pleasure that brough
"Hey, anyone here!" Luca was awakened that morning by a muffled noise and continued banging.He blinked his eyes open and mysterious Linda was sleeping peacefully in his embrace.Her long red hair had completely covered her face and her hands rested against his chest.Luca groaned and turned in the direction of the door where the banging was coming from.He was dumbfounded to see Lucia pacing around the hallway through the glass wall.She had her face pressed against the glass wall to inspect the rooms but could see nothing.The glass walls were only transparent from inside the room and not outside to ensure privacy."What the..." He freed Linda from his embrace and carefully rolled away so he doesn't interrupt her sleep. Finding his way to the door, he unlocked it and stretched outside to see Lucia came running back, "Hey, here you are" "What are you doing here?" He almost whispered and her brows furrowed, "What am I doing here?" "Does this place looks like my home? It's morning.
Breakfast was dug into silence as the couple kept exchanging glances at each other from the opposite ends of the glass table in the dining room.Luca took the opportunity to turn on his other device in case a call came in from Lucia. As soon as the device booted, Nica's message appeared on the screen.Nica: Husband, did I piss you off? [smiling emoji]He made to swipe it away but more message notifications from her came appearing at the top of his screen. He sighed in frustration and realized she had sent the pile of messages because his number wasn't going through. Luca opened the chat conversation and read through her crazy messages.Nica: Did you block me? [Angry emoji]Nica: I'm sorry.Nica: Call me. Should I come over to Thornhill?More insane messages from her which he was disgusted to go through and so closed the messaging app only to see Linda staring at him. She had finished her breakfast already. "You're reading my emotion. Ain't you?" She blinked her eyes and relaxed
Luca brought his BMW 7 Series to halt and alighted to stand in front of Karim's former operation hideout.Former, as the place was no more. Burnt to ashes except for the blackened walls which still stood. He could still see smoke ascending from the building to the sky and could tell that the disaster happened not quite long. Could this be some persons covering up their ends so they don't get exposed just as the corrupt agents? There was no evidence that links back to him and that was all that matters.Luca got into the vehicle and reversed before driving away from the location.He recalled Karim was the tech genius of the mayor who worked behind the screen and--He did not really know Karim's role in the old man's operation but he could have been responsible for finding Linda or knows about it.Carlo could not help him find the mysterious CCTV scumbag operator as his speciality does not reach the area of tracking down people.He was only handy with the cameras like a good CCTV ope
"That will be all, Linda. Turn off the gas"Lucia's loud voice resounded from the living room and Linda obeyed to do as she was instructed.She turned off the cooker, and microwave and did the dishes before walking out of the kitchen, and wiping her hand with a rag."Is he not here yet?" Linda asked as she arrived in the dining room to meet Lucia who was engrossed with her device from where she was seated.Without lifting her head, she responded, "He sometimes has the habit of showing up late for dining as far as I can remember""But he doesn't miss, Mother makes the best dishes and it's so bad I can never be her""Your food tastes good, Manager Lucia. I love them""It's easier to say when you're not human" Lucia announced and silence fell in the room until she crackled, "I'm just pulling your legs. Funny!"She explodes into laughter with Linda who nodded gently and placed her hands on the dining table.Earlier that day, they were on their way to get a brand delivery from the airport
