Dolores sat in a room alone. It was a very small room with a single bed and only plastic furniture. A young man with tattoos and a nose piercing walked in. “The queen of the Sisterhood in my hostel? It must be my lucky day”, he said. “I don’t have time for that, Crue. Someone cut off my son’s feet and one of his ears. I have no interest in getting revenge but I do want to know what this is about”, she said. “Pablo? I thought he was out of the country. Oh man, that’s fucked up. I told him to stay away from those innocent ladies. Like dude there is something call consent”, he said and slapped his forehead. “I can see you’re very high on drugs right now so I’ll make this shorter than I intended to. He is in a coma now but when he wakes up, I want you to get the necessary details from him. For now, I want you to try to see what you can find”, she said. “Yes, queen. I’d do this for free but do you have anything for me aside this. I’m like your son and it’s hard out here in the
Lima went to the meeting with Manuel. He picked her up on time and they had a little chitchat on their way. “Good thing is that his wife is not coming with him. I want you to try to seduce him. I need him to invest in this project”, he said. “From the little I know about this project, it’s scam. You think the Don would fall for a scam?”, she asked. “He’s just a little boy. He doesn’t have experience or wisdom. And you’re also in the picture, making it easier for us”, Manuel said with a smile. “Oh, Manuel. And you said the Sisterhood is dying. Just know you owe us big money, big time”, she said with a winning smirk. “I know, Lima. Don’t forget to do the needful. And I noticed you changed your style, desperate much?”, he smirked. The car came to an halt in front of the venue. “For you, no. By the way, you have something green in your teeth”, she said, pointing at his mouth. He was embarrassed and quickly used his phone camera to get it off. “Also, here’s mint”, she
Arya stepped in beside Leonardo and the buzz in the room came to an halt and everyone stood up. She was wearing a stunning, black one-shoulder dress that hugged her figure elegantly. The gown featured a high slit, revealing her long, toned leg with every step. She accessorized with black heels and a sleek, black clutch, completing the sophisticated and chic ensemble. She let her wavy hair fall in its natural curls and it framed her face. Leonardo had said it was a business meeting but not for him. If they wanted a tiny bit of their investment, then she’d wear whatever she wanted. They got to the head of the table and Leonardo’s security ushered Lima to the only seat at the other side of the table, leaving the Don and his wife sitting together. Even though she was quiet, Arya could hear Lima screaming at her in her mind. Her eyes threw daggers at her but she was too glam to give a damn. “Welcome, Don. We hope you didn’t have any trouble getting here”, Manuel started. Le
A frown appeared on Lima’s face, disgust following after. She was sick of Manuel. “Is he coming to hit you? The car is here, we should leave”, Rupert said, panicking. “Oh, be a man, Rupert. If I am assuming he is going to hit me, it’s the same as him doing it. I’d rather see if he would dare hit me”, she said. Manuel finally reached her. He towered over her with angry boldly inscribed on his face. He raised his hand to strike her but she caught it just in time. “You dare raise your hand to me?”, she asked. “How dare you double cross me, you whore?”, he asked back. “Double cross you? You think I don’t know the only reason you brought me here was to be your collateral damage, huh?”, she fired back. Manuel was surprised. “But…” “But nothing, Manuel. I haven’t forgotten how you treated me or my sisters. You wanted to play me but you got played instead”, she said and dropped his hand like garbage. “Just keeping gloating for now. I’d wipe you and your precious sisterhoo
“You’re seriously not thinking of taking up on his offer, right?”, Arya asked in a hushed voice when they rejoined the party. “I don’t want to”, Leonardo responded. “But?” “But, I have to”, he said. He knew how businesses amongst the mafia world works. “Why? We certainly don’t need it”, she said. “We don’t but our oppositions do. If they get it, they get leverage over us”, he said. It’s why Don Ricardo said they can’t refuse. “And we can’t get him to not start the business”, she said. “We have no right because he is not in our jurisdiction. By the way, the guy we are after does work for Ricardo. It’s why I accepted his invitation”, he said. Her mouth formed an “O”. “Why didn’t you tell me?”, she asked. “Because you would have been on edge and Ricardo would notice. Rob has to come back from where he is. I have a plan to fish out our guy”, he said and began texting on his phone. “What if it was Ricardo that sent Maria’s guy? What if he did all that to bring you to
Earlier that day. Ricardo’s POV Ricardo had always hated seeing couples together but the Don and his wife was a sight to behold, even for someone as attractive as himself. He stood up there, watching the couple dance. He smelt him before hearing his footsteps. “The young Don does not seem to be threatened.” Ricardo hated his voice. “I can see that, father. I thought I saw her panicking for a brief moment but it turned out to just be sexual tension”, he said. “As usual, you thought wrong.” He hated this man. “As usual, you only speak to me to criticize me.” His father laughed. “What do you think this is? Disney world? We can’t play football and go on adventures. You’re *a child *, a tool.” Ricardo smiled. He noticed how his *father* didn’t say *my child*. “Trust me, I wish I never met you too.” “And I wish you were never born. You killed the only person I ever loved just by existing. I can’t wait till I don’t need you anymore. I’d put a bullet in you myself.” He cle
As soon as the gunshot went off, the people in the bar scattered and some were even trampled as the crowd tried to run away to safety. Leonardo and Ricardo ducked under the bar and reached for their guns. “Who do you think these people are?”, Leonardo asked. “I have no idea. It could be a drug deal gone wrong”, Ricardo said. The next gunshot blew up the vase very close to them. “Still think they are not after us?”, Leonardo asked. Ricardo shook his head. Leonardo smirked. He had been dying for some actions. Finally. He stood up from his hiding place with two guns in his hands and began shooting the attackers, alongside his soldiers. “Don’t have all the fun without me”, Ricardo said as he came out with guns blazing. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Arya turned to Isabel. “Did you hear that?”, she asked. Isabel nodded. “We have to go”, she said and ran way too fast for someone her age. They got to the room and saw two men trying to pul
They drove into Ricardo’s penthouse and rung for the nurse. The Spanish Don had gotten hit by a bullet in his arm. It was a graze, but deep enough for him to loose a significant amount of blood. The nurse, a middle age woman, entered the room and proceeded to treat his wound. Leonardo took that time to call Rob and gave him directions to come to the penthouse with a handful of soldiers. Ricardo had said the penthouse was completely safe as no one knew he owned it and he got it under a different name but he couldn’t be too sure. Especially with Arya on her way to him. He check her location and sighed in relief when he saw she was very close. The fact that she was driving herself was making him crazy but it was the only way for her to sneak out discreetly. He went back to the living room and saw Ricardo’s wound was already bandaged and he was no longer wearing his shirt. “Is it anything to be worried about?”, Ricardo asked the nurse. “Not at all. Just take your drugs at
