The Mafia's Redemption Chapter 62: Where's Home?
SarahThere is soft music playing. And for a moment I could feel my mother. Right here, beside me, singing, while I sleep. It feels like a dream but I can sense the crazy reflection of light and the piercing heat of the sun against the sheets and on my arm.“Mother…” I whisper. It feels like home. The peaceful home I knew. Where nothing mattered, masked in the comfort of my mother's arms.I smile weakly and try to reach for her embrace when I hear a clank of metals.Immediately, the music stops. My hands. My legs, wouldn't move further. I flick my eyelids open, attempting to see what has held me down.To my amazement, all my four limbs are chained down to the small bed in a large room.It doesn't look familiar. In horror, I begin to force the metals, panting heavily but instead the pain in my arm increase. There's a bandage around my head and a sling around my shoulder extending to a part of my hand covered in bandages.Gradually, I recollect all that happened the night before.Who
The Mafia's Redemption Chapter 63: Wreckage and Flames
MarcoIn the thick haze I make my way inside the collapsing structure, choking from the outrageous smoke. My legs suddenly develop a mind of its own as I run into the wreckage not minding the flames ahead.“Sarah!”My voice is quenched by the raging flame and it feels like a arrow hit me when I step on something big. It's a body.In dread I pull it out, my heart breaking with every pull. The burn is a lot, but not enough to disfigure the facial features as I recognize who it is.Clara.What if Sarah is in there too?How did they find them here?As the walls of the house continue to crumble, the flames going up and darkening the bright clouds immediately, I escape, before I get trapped. I stare again at the wreck from a distance and something in me tells me Sarah isn't there. She can't be. Getting back in my car, I zoom off back to my captive in a druken speed. I needed an outlet for my rage and Luca is my best bet. I see blood footprints from the ground floor up until the last flo
The Mafia's Redemption Chapter 64: Marco's Trap
Sarah“I never thought I'd see you again, you know? It took you this long to finally show yourself.”Her weapon is still hanging in the air directed at me as I step back inside slowly, hitting the sofa behind and forcing me to sit.“What... What happened? ” I asked. Of all the things that happened that day at the wedding, I Know Betty was confirmed dead.Shawn confirmed it too.But she's right here before me, pointing a gun at defenseless me.“What happened that I'm about to blow your head off or what happened that I'm alive?”She asks, scanning the tiny apartment and then resuming focus on me.“Anyways, I didn't come all the way here to have stupid girl chat. I came to strike a deal, as always, my dear Maria.”She takes a seat opposite me with a mischievous smile. “A deal?” I ask, surprised.“You heard correctly. To cut it short. I don't want to go to jail and I'm sure neither do you. There's a major case on ground and I believe there's someone capable of solving that in a matter of
The Mafia's Redemption Chapter 65: Flight to Omsk
MarcoWas it just Sarah's voice I heard?Did she just tell me her location? A few hours flight and I have the opportunity to see her. To keep her. To claim her.How did she manage to contact me? Andrey watches me with the corner of his eyes as I join back into the meeting, adjusting my belt as though i went to use the restroom. The board have been considering recruiting more soldiers to our number. As tradition, it is important that both sons of the late Sidorov be present. After the meeting, one of us will be next in line.For some reasons, I'm not as covetous as I was of my father's position. But now that I see how power-hungry Andrey could get, for my freedom, it has to be me. Or a total stranger. “Is everything all right?” one of the capos asks me as I resume my seat.I nod a positive response but in all honesty, I'm also seeking for an excuse to be out of here.I return Andrey's look as his phone beeps in front of him.I just sent him a text, “I have to go. Let's wrap up.”He
The Mafia's Redemption Chapter 66: A Love Nest
SarahThe moment I heard my neighbors yell, it gave me a clue that Marco was here.Betty has a plan. Now, I also have a better plan.I turn on the light.He has a look of surprise. A rough shave. The innocent eyes that contradicts his nature and history.“Marco...” I hear myself whisper as though I can't believe my eyes.Another physical meeting and I'm reminded of how much I felt for this beast.He walks up to me, forcing me to raise my head to meet his eyes.His large palms are placed on my cheeks as he leans me to the pillar close to the kitchen deck.A single touch and I find myself craving for him.“Where have you been? What happened?” he questions with a firm look, but his touch says otherwise.Subtle and gentle, brushing the stray strands of hair to the back of my ear. His presence is so manly, distracting me from my initial plan.Betty is somewhere out there waiting for a signal from me.My personal detectives are on their way to a address I'm about to lure Marco to.But these
The Mafia's Redemption Chapter 67: Feds and Prison
SarahI feel bad for what I'm about to do but there's little to no choice left. It's my last chance to finally get rid of these shadows that hunts me.One after the other. My little way of finally finding redemption from every association of the Mafia world.Luca, Don Joe. Shawn... Everyone of them.And Now Marco. I've to start from somewhere, now that I know that the Sidorovs are a big part of all my father faced when he was alive. I pretend to be weak as I feel his beards caress my face when he places a kiss on my forehead.My heart beats faster as we approach the address.The apartment is fake and it was the plan of my boss.I didn't tell him how I intend to bring his target, but he assured me of a promotion after I sent evidence of Marco's presence in my area. No one has to know i knew him all along.“I think we're almost there,” he whispers above me. He's probably speaking to the driver or himself. I steal a fast look before he resumes his gaze on me. I'm pretending to have fa
The Mafia's Redemption Chapter 68: The Americans
The AmericansSarah“Stop the car!” I order the taxi driver as we arrive at a deserted path.He steps on the break abruptly, his hands shivering as I step out of the taxi. I try to search for some dollar notes for him but he speeds off in the shortest notice.I pocket the pistol and head north. A train station is somewhere close by. Jogging my way down there would take nothing less than thirty minutes.My phone rings in my pocket as I scan the area.It's an unknown caller.I take another quick glance of my surrounding. The distant sound of the taxi engine fades as I run along. They might have laid ambush on the main streets. This is the shortest and safest path to the train station.The phone rings again. I take a pause, leaning on the pole of a streetlight to catch my breath.I pick the call and wait for the caller to speak. “Do you want a reward or not? I expected to find you at home.”“Betty?” I question in surprise.“Yea. We have who we wanted. You deserve a reward.”“You caught
The Mafia's Redemption Chapter 69: Train Clown
Sarah“You don’t remember me?” he asks, adjusting the strap of a brown leather bag hung around his shoulders.“I don’t,” I reply, looking out for an empty seat around. But he stops me and blocks my view.“You are as good as alone now. If you know what’s god for you, don’t try to play smart.”I see a weapon in his pocket as he pulls out something from his bag. “Do you know this person? Apologies, that’s not even a question. Where is he?”It is a picture of Shawn, and another face. I know this person is definitely someone from my past. Although it’s hard to tell if he’s from the enemy’s side.“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’ve never seen these faces.”He claps his hands and begins to laugh deeply, drawing attention from otuer passengers.“Isn't she funny guys?” he turns to them and back to me. His grin condensing immediately into a frown. “Good joke, Maria Giovanni. Now answer the question.”He pulls in closer to me, his pistol now in his hands as he runs the muzzle over my

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
The Mafia's Redemption Chapter 96: We're Team
SHAWNThe fucker is standing right next to her. I hate to see her cry but she deserves to be punished. Everything I've ever done has been for her, yet she chose to trust this fucker over me. Brought my very son to him. I try not to think about how many times he's had to touch her. 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. She's managed to crawl to the door. Her cry stings my heart as the fucker attempts to land a kiss on her.That's when I reach my limit. The guts he has. All I wanted was to scare her, to make fear me, respect and just follow me.I'm more than enough for her. That has to sink in her tiny sexy brains.Three close shots.

The Mafia's Redemption Chapter 95: Unexpected Visit
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
Shawn For a doctor, he sure is a hard man. I barely escaped him. Not without a severe hit on my arm and a bruised knee. 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. I drift into a sharp corner, viewing the rare view mirror for any sign of my enemies. It looks all clear. I keep driving, searching around the car for notes. I'm dead broke, for a man entrusted with such wealth.I find a dollar bill and make a brief stop at a grocery store.Before i get out of the car, I clean off the blood stains on my
The Mafia's Redemption Chapter 90: Common Rivals
ElvisA tall man in clean suits and black shades draw my attention. Immediately I turn around he says,"Come with me."I follow behind closely. Soon, we arrive in front of a black limousine parked by the corner of the road. He opens the door for me as I step into the unknown.There's a woman sitting opposite me in the luxurious car.She has a white hat on and every other clothing on her matches her hat, except the red scarf around her neck and the dark shades. The white hat covers a good portion of her face, making me catch only a faint view of her nose and a deep-red lipsticks, matching the scarf around her neck.The whiff of her flowery scent subdues my sense of smell for a minute."We've been expecting you, Mr. Elvis Griffin," she says. "Let's say, we have a better offer for you, that'll make you reject the one your boss offered.""Who are you?" I ask, my voice frantic, the air in the vehicle suddenly feels more tense."You don't need to shout. Besides, if i had ill intentions tow
The Mafia's Redemption Chapter 89: Family bonds
MarcoShe attempts to keep driving, threatening to knock me down but I stand my ground. I move no muscle.She can't hit me. I know that for sure.Besides, it's a weak attempt. The frustration is evident in her expression as she storms out of the car."what the actual fuck are you? Get out of my way," she yells. Instead i fold my arms, staring at her with a cold smile."Really? That's how you treat an old friend?" I tease."I dont know what you're talking about," she replies, turning off her headhlights. The dim lights in the garage is the only light source we have now. She walks up to me, still looking flustered.But she can't fool me.“Quit the pretence, Betty.”“Look, I don't know who you're and why you were hired. But it's best we stick to our roles here. And who the hell is Betty?”"What I don't understand is why you brought Sarah into all of these.”“There's definitely a mix up somewhere. I'm not who you think I am. Now get lost before I knock you down," she breaths, yelling fr
