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
"I thought you would never say" A smirk formed at the corners of Lucia's lip and she relaxed on get a seat, proudly."You cook just like Mother. I missed her cooking"She twitched her lips and said, "Don't flatter me. By the way, why are you wearing a tuxedo? Is this a date or something?"Luca stopped eating to protest, "Can't I put on whatever I want? You seem to pick on me lately""Haha, funny. You wore this for her, didn't you" She raised her fork to Linda who halt eating and her eyes met with the gaze of her manager and friend.Luca could not say if Lucia trying to make the dinner moments an interesting one or simply introducing violence.A smile formed on her face and she lowered the fork, "You know, I'm happy for you two. I know he's an arrogant big head but thank you for accepting to be his girlfriend, Linda"She continued digging into her plate and Luca almost choked on his meal.He took a glass of water and his throat ached as a result of the spice he wasn't even feeling the
Luca slowly rose from between her legs with a racing heart and a strong screech noise ringing in his head.A part of him always suspected she was a virgin but he never paid attention to it.He just wanted to grow her sexual experience only to find out about her virginity.Was he going to go against his rule for Linda?He had no option but to.There was no running from it.Seeing her tight hole reminded him of his high school crush; Sonia, who bleed uncontrollably after the act and caused him to recite the vow never to hit on virgins.Well, Linda was no mere virgin like Nica.She was his woman and making exceptions for the ones he love was always an option.He feared he would hurt her like Sonia but another part of him reminded him that she was extraordinary.If bullets could never penetrate her skin. Could a d¡ck possibly injure her?There was no one to answer the question.Not even Linda who had her innocent gaze on him at the moment.He could tell she was sensing strange signals in
Luca was awakened that morning by a muffled noise that sounded familiar to his ears.His brain soon causes him to recognize the noise as the ringtone of his alarm and the thought of it made him groan.It was another morning again and he was a little pissed at how fast the night has rolled by.He wanted to hold tight to Linda forever in his arms and never let go.Luca embraced her to himself only to discover it wasn't Linda or even human.It was fluffy and--He jerked open his eyes quickly to see he was choking life out of the poor pillow in his possession."What the..." He grinned, loosened his grip on the fluffy pillow and took a moment to curse internally at the inanimate object. Something was over his head and so, he pulled it off to see it was another annoying pillow. What the hell do they want with him this morning? He wanted Linda and not some freaking, horny pillows. The alarm of his phone now sounded clearer to his ears and he sleepily rubbed his face when he heard Linda's
"It's gonna be okay, Honey" Layla entered Nica's room with two tissue boxes in her hands and a worried look on her face.There was Nica seated on her bed and sobbing uncontrollably as she scrolled through the unaware pictures of her betrothed and the model on the social media platforms."This should be me, Mother" Nica cursed, sniffed into the already wet tissue paper and tossed it to the side of her bed.She made to cut another only to discover it was empty.In annoyance, she gripped the box and squeezed it into the size of a ball while growling uncontrollably like an animal."Here, baby" Layla unwrapped the new box and handed it over with a little gasp from her mouth, "I know this hurts, Baby, but it's gonna be alright""Don't tell me it's going to be alright. I underestimated the model, turns out she was a threat the entire. I should have killed her when I had the chance to?" She cut a portion of tissue from the new box and slowly wiped her tear-filled eyes."Maybe she is just a fl
"I'll be glad to host your family down here, Jacob. Alright then..."Lorenzo hung up the call and sighed heavily with his eyes shut.He turned from the balcony he was leaning against to see his brother, the consigliere who asked quickly, "Are they worried about--""No. He didn't even talk about it, " Lorenzo rubbed his chin, "I heard he is a man who hates the internet. "He had just awakened from a nap that afternoon when the family consigliere brought in the news concerning Luca; the family's underboss.The underboss was now the talk of the Thornhill media because of the pictures taken of him and an alleged lover.He was talking with the consigliere when the call of Jacob came in and they feared he saw it too but alas, there was no cause for alarm.Still, "We can't keep letting this boy mess things up. Sending the wrong message to the Mizzeti when he knows that the marriage preparation is in motion already""I thought you claimed he was getting along with Nica" Lorenzo raised his bro
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
