The Mafia's Redemption Chapter 12: The Other Side
Sarah I rush back in, my heart racing ceaselessly, as I take off my jacket. I slide gradually to the floor as the bleeding increases. The jacket I used to cover up my injury is stained. Thankfully, Marco didn't notice. A sharp pain shoots through my side, reminding me of the danger I only sparsely escaped. Was it a stray bullet, or a deliberate attempt to take me down? I would never know.I try to catch my breath, my mind racing with questions. Betty's sudden appearance and timely rescue offer some relief, but there's an unsettling feeling at the back of my mind as I notice that the bedroom door wide open. Someone was here or I'm just being paranoid. "Mind telling me who the bloody hell was that and why he came?" Betty questions, towering above me with a sneer. "My personal affairs stays personal. Either you help me stop this bleeding or you leave me the fuck alone," I yell back, taking up a scissors from the first aid kit.Betty scuffs, finally squatting to help me."All I'm doing

SarahThe best I can do is play cool and hide my anxiety, else I'll blow the whole thing off. I turn off the engine but my hands are still glued to the wheels,"I've a sick two-year old who wouldn't take his drugs till he sees his mama," I say, as convincing as possible. One of the cops takes a step closer, scanning the insides of the vehicle. “Your papers?”“All updated.” I reach for the car documents and after scanning through he signals to the other cop ahead. "What's in trunk?" "Just clothes for the weekend.” My hands are shaking as I avoid his gaze.Immediately the barricade is taken off. I strike the vehicle back to life and prepare to zoom off when another voice booms from the corner,“Just to be sure ma'am, we need to check the trunk. We don't need to waste your time. Open it up, I'll go check.”I'm stuck. I'm fucking stuck. I watch the man walk around the car, halting by the trunk.I smile nervously at the cop standing by my window as I unlock the trunk.“I really don't kno

SarahI try to lift myself off the floor but my body seems heavier than usual. Those injections must have been hard drugs. From the moment I stepped out of my car to the moment a gun was pointed at me, my heart has been working overtime.I don't know who they are. Although very tipsy, I can still hear their voices flying over my ears.All of my pleas have fallen on deaf ears. After all they got their package. I attempt another cry for mercy,"Please, let me go," propping myself up slightly to meet the gaze of the man standing next to me."Isn't she adorable, Pope?" one of them ask. I recognize the voice. He had tried to force a kiss on me before i lost control of my body to the drugs. Whether he eventually did steal the kiss or got even more, it's hard to tell. Evil monsters with weird names, that's what they are. I cannot but dread what is to become of me if I spend another minute here. The room I was kept in earlier, the harassment from these men. All of it reminds me a lot of Luca

MarcoHow the fuck did she get involved in this? I find it hard to wrap my head around the whole situation. Sarah the nurse? How did she transform into Sarah the crack dealer? And now an auction prize? Dammit. If I was fast enough, I would have found out first. It would have been easy to clear out the mess. But, now that the Master is actively involved, I'm sure as hell that I will be needing a greater force to get her out of this twist. The only person I can trust to win such a war is Igor Sidorov. Shit! I still have an unsettled beef with my father. How would I open up to tell father I'm working for one of his enemies. The same man he had to sell his daughter to for a peace offering.My father isn't stupid. He'll connect the dots and finally shut me up forever, just like he did mother and blamed it on cancer.He won't dare lay a finger on Sarah. I will save her before it becomes another complex problem like that of my sister."You saved the day, Bricks. You're catching on fast," I

SarahThe burning spotlight and the threatening faces glaring at me only adds to my unease as I stand at the centre, like a trapped prey. The luminescence exaggerating my nakedness with my head drooped. I can't bear to look up. Timid. Scared. Or broken. I can't define what I feel. Several warnings, No, threats have been made if I fail. The only way to escape this is to win the highest bid and hope that whoever buys me is less of a beast compared to the rest of the predators hunting me. If my father were still alive, I'm certain my life can't be as bad as its turning out to be. I could have ignored our differences and requested for his help. But now, I'm all I have. The prices don't stop skyrocketing, and it's seem more like a competition, than a bidding. Just as planned. The speaker blares as the announcer exclaims at every raise. “a thousand dollar,” a thick voice booms from the far end of the room. I'm tempted to look up. For the first time, I hear such a voice commands both respe

Sarah "We couldn't wait any longer. He was too stubborn," the biggest among the three men that welcomes us says to him. Apparently, he's the boss, like I expected.My new captor holds dearly on to me but my gaze is fixed on the morbid body lying at our feet. Without a remorse, he drags me along."Discard the mess and clean your tracks," he booms as we walk into the lobby of a large mansion. My breathing is tense. If only I could scream or run. Fuck! it's pointless. Our hurried footsteps echo loudly as he continues to pull me."What about Shanghai?" one of his guards call out from behind. He doesn't seem to stop walking fast as though there is something so important and we're late for it."Shanghai? What about him? Didn't he stop by?" he questions as we approach one of the flight of stairs that converge at the top, leading to the first floor. It's a massive place, the railings gleaming like molten gold, and floors so immaculate they seem to echo every step. The cream-colored walls pla

Marco"The damned money was supposed to be with me before noon," my voice slices through the salty sea breeze, my hair dancing restlessly across my brow. I command the top deck of the yacht that belongs to Andrey, anger etching deeper lines on my face."I've been occupied, " Andrey retorts casually. "Yeah, right. Occupying yourself with those skinny things. I really thought you had good taste," I sneer, my gaze a venomous arrow aimed at the bikini-clad girls lazing all over my brother. Andrey, ever the charming host, presses his lips to the cheeks of the women flanking him. "Ladies, care to continue our party inside?" he coos. The longer I watch him, the greater my fury.It's only the second day, a mere forty-eight hours, and still no word about Sarah. Sophia hasn't gotten any tangible details and it's all Andrey's fault. "Oh, little brother, you're back sooner than expected. Couldn't manage on your own, eh?""You've forgotten your promise, Andrey. Or should I seek our father's aid
Last Updated : 2023-09-02The Mafia's Redemption Chapter 19: Drug Specimen
SarahThe past forty-eight hours have been pure torment. From a plaything, bought to satiate every dark whim of my new captor, to a guinea pig, subjected to test the potency of various hard drugs. Potent enough to knock me senseless within minutes. I need no confirmation; I'm back to being an addict, perpetually yearning for the next experiment. But for some reasons, no one has come to check on me. I lie wasted on the oversized mattress. Naked. To quote the Don's cruel words, "Clothes are but an impediment."I sniff hard, a hysterical cry rising within me. I crave more of that substance. That tiny stash I managed to smuggle from the testing room is exhausted. Madness feels like an understatement.Yet, there's one crucial thing the drug does: it fuels my craving, making me long for it even more. It grants me temporary distraction from my unbearable reality. With every inhalation, I escape to a glorious paradise, free of those beasts around me. I surge from the bed, pounding my fists on

The Mafia's Redemption Chapter 99: Prison Break out
Marco Before I can respond, Sophia’s already packing up her equipment, saving files, closing out of secure databases. “I’ll reroute everything to a mobile setup. With that, I can operate from the road.”“Good. I'll be in the car. Meet me in five,” I say, heading toward the door. I glance back at her. “Sophia—thanks.”She gives a sharp nod, though I catch a glimpse of worry on her face. We've been here before.History is about to repeat itself. “Just don’t get yourself killed. I’d hate to do this without you,” she finally chokes.We’re in the car and halfway across the city before either of us speaks again. I steal a glance at Sophia, her eyes focused, fingers tapping on a tablet as she keeps an eye on Ricco’s movements. Every minute counts. Every second. If Ricco’s man gets to Padre first, we lose the one card we have against him.Not just him, including the corrupt officials funding their activities.Padre is the only key, we can't affor to lose it.As we approach the penitentiary,

MarcoAs I turn to leave the lab, Sophia grabs my arm, her grip surprisingly firm for someone half my size.“Marco, please listen to me. This isn’t about Padre alone. Ricco’s reach is deeper than we think, and getting tangled up with Padre could ruin everything. They’re tied to powerful groups, and they don’t tolerate outside interference.”Her words sink in, but there’s no going back now. I give her a straight look, pulling my arm free from her grip. For one, she knows she can't stop me.“If this information leads us to unraveling Ricco’s entire operation, then it’s worth the risk.”She sighs, adjusting her glasses and muttering something under her breath. “Fine. But don’t say I didn’t warn you.”I slip out of the lab, heading into the cool evening air. A quick drive brings me to the outskirts of the city, near the penitentiary. It’s set behind high towering steel fences and walls.At the entrance, I flash a badge I’d 'gotten through a past job, posing as an attorney. The guard bare
The Mafia's Redemption Chapter 97: State Penitentiary
Marco"How many times do i have to repeat this? I'm not Betty," she responded in a frenzied whisper as Ricco's voice overshadowed every other sound in the room. There's another task. Never an end to his missions, but thankfully, amongst all the people he called out, I don't fall in the list.Celebrating the temporary freedom, I watch as Betty gets up from me to join the selected crew.I don't pay much attention on the instructions. It's none of my business.Big Tom is addressing them but Betty and i exchange eye contact. I need to find the truth from her and the only way to do that is to exploit her witnesses.It's not my fault that she provided me one on a platter of gold.After a brief discussion with Ricco about the delivery of new sets of ammunition, i head out of the mansion, in search of Betty.I find her standing by her car, about to get in."Elizabeth Maguire," i announce, few metres away from her. I watch her reaction as she stiffen. Definitely Betty. One doubt crossed. N

My Maria.She can't belong to anyone else and she knows this.The anger grows rapidly inside of me as the doctor halts in front of her."Please, don't do this," Maria pleads.

SarahHis grip over my mouth is so hard. All my attempt to get away proves futile. My heart beats even faster as he pulls me out of bed.My back is against his chest but as we walk past the large mirror in the room, he halts.His gaze rests on my reflection. "Maria, i dont like that look on your face. Everything I've ever done has been for your own good."All i do is shut my eyes, hoping this is a dream. A lucid dream Michel assured me that Shawn was a forgotten past.I didn't bother to ask how he knew but i believed stupidly.Shawn leans towards my ears, his grip tighten against my mouth."I've something to show you. Please, Maria, please, dont do anything stupid."He grabs the sheets on the bed to cover my naked body up."Do you miss me? There's no doubt. You do. But i'm mad at you. Maybe I'll be able to forgive you afterwards. Just maybe..."He pulls me towards the door. The tears trickle down my cheeks over his palm."I hate to see you cry," he continues as he unlocks the door,
The Mafia's Redemption Chapter 94: House on Fire
Sarah"I got a call..." Michael begins, resting both palms on my shoulders, like he's about to give a long speech.His reaction makes me uneasy. At least I made sure no one noticed when i left. "Remember i mentioned something about my sister living in the same neighborhood with you."I nod in agreeement. "There was a fire."I pretend to be shocked, but i am. How did he find out so quickly. "Is your sister okay-.." i ask."Yes. But," he hesitates but continues, "The fire started at your place.""My house is on fire?" I force the tears to leave my eyes.Michael pulls me into a hug making it easier for me to fake it as I cry aloud against his soft fabric."This is now your home, Sarah. I'll also replace everything that was lost in the fire," Michael adds. I pull away from him, thankfully my face is wet enough."You don't have to. Maybe this is a sign for a fresh start indeed," i blurt out. "I don't want to look back anymore.""I agree, Sarah. The police have begun investiagtion on th
The Mafia's Redemption Chapter 93: The Nursery
SarahI knew the doctor to be comfortable, but i would never have guessed that he could own such a massive place. There are a few staff around, as they help us unpack the few luggages we brought. A bag for Carlo and one for me. "It's massive," i whisper under my breath as i pat Carlo on my shoulder. He's still fast asleep."I have something to show you," the doctor says, guiding me away from the lobby with bright chandeliers at the centre, towards the flight of stairs ahead. We arrive at the first floor. The first door to our right leads to a room. "Are you ready?" he asks. I nod, gaping around like some lost stranger. I've lived in luxury all my life but with the doctor, it's different.I'm not a prisoner.As he opens the door i find a beautiful nursery all set up.My palm clasp over my mouth, stopping me from exaggerating my emotions, careful not to wake Carlos.The emotions rush in as i step in. It's blue-themed. A typical baby-boy room."I'll call in a nanny to take care of hi
The Mafia's Redemption Chapter 92: Evil Twin
MarcoThe old woman doesn't seem to buy my story. Her look spells suspicion.I retain the smile on my face, closing the gap between us while I continue,"I'm surprized Elizabeth never mentioned it. She told me she'll be here also.""I'm going to call the cops on you. Stay away," she yells making her way back in."Grandma," the little boy comes running out, stopping the woman in her tracks.He's holding a picture frame, extending it to the woman. The boy for one is certainly smart.The woman takes a glance at the picture, and back at me.I catch a faint view of it. A picture of Andrey. For some reasons, he looks almost like me. It's part of the reasons i don't believe Ricco and his lies.Andrea and I have always shared a striking resemblance."Do you believe me now?" i say to the woman, squatting in front of the boy and ruffling his hair."What's your name big man?" The boy doesn't smile. Not a word escaped his mouth. Just the surprise written all over him."Your story had better b
The Mafia's Redemption Chapter 91: Suicide Mission

For one, i acquired the vehicle, in on piece, however broken my bone feels right now.I've to lay low. Get these fuckers off my track for now or i just might be a cheap prey for them. I'm heading north, with no direction as i try to set up the GPS of the car.They will try to find the village now that I've exposed one of the hideouts.Even though it will be no use to them. There's no way they can crack the vault without the clues in my possession.Still, i'm living nothing to chance. Not the inheritance I worked for. Not ever.
