Arya walked into the church with her security. As expected, she met Isabel, the Mother Superior and Manuel, the Mayor. “Welcome Dona”, Manuel greeted. “Hi, Manuel. How are you faring?”, she asked. “I’m very well. I was about to leave before you stepped in. Good bye”, he said and walked out. “He suspects someone must have leaked the details about the assassins”, Isabel said. “Hope he didn’t figure out who did it?”, Arya asked. “No. He didn’t. But I told him the Don is a smart man regardless of his age. He would know better than to give away his location”, the nun responded. “Okay, that’s great. Thank you once again for risking it”, Arya said. “Please sit. Your mother, Adriana, went through a lot of risks for me and the children in the orphanage. I can’t let the last piece of her get killed by greedy old men”, Isabel responded. Arya sat on the pew. “In time you will tell me about my mother. I wish I knew more about her bravery”, she said. “In time. Don’t take my n
Dolores’ green eyes moved sharply across the room. She was dressed in a satin gown and had on excess expensive jewelries. Her smoky eye make up accentuated her eye colour perfectly. She nodded in approval as the girls displayed their beauties. “Hurry up, girls. A good courtesan knows the value of time”, she said. The girls hurried to change their clothes or accessories that she told them to. “My queen, your daughter is here”, her assistant said. “Which of them?”, she asked with a bored expression. “Lima”, her assistant answered. “Lima? I’m surprised she still knows the way to her mother’s house”, Dolores said sarcastically. “Should I let her in?.” “Yes. Let her in”, Dolores said. Some seconds after, Lima appeared in her presence. “Mother, how have you been?”, she asked. “Same way you left me”, Dolores responded. “That’s why I’m here, mother. I want to move back home”, she said and fell on her knees. “And I want to retire and enjoy the rest of my life trav
Lima took deep breaths backstage. She wore her most expensive outfit and used her most expensive make up products for this event. She needed to imprint on him and gauge his reaction before coming up with her plan. The curtain dropped and through her veil she could see the light reflecting on her and the other girls. She knew this dance by heart but the fact that the Don was watching made her feel uneasy. The music started and so did their bodies. They danced along to the sound in seductive rhythm and the men cheered at them, occasionally throwing money and gifts at them. With the lights in her eyes, she could not get a clear view at the men’s faces but she assumed the Don would be at the head of the table. Sit up, wife. This mistress may have a trick or two up her sleeves. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Arya tossed around on her bed. She missed her babies so much but she tried not to think about it too much. She was regretting ever encouraging Leo to go to that
Leonardo walked out of the event the moment the dancers came out. He was already very occupied and didn’t have time for flimsy entertainment. Rupert appeared from the corner. “Oh, my. Mistress was not exaggerating. It’s like god amongst men”, he said to Leonardo’s hearing. Rupert was ignored but he didn’t give up. “My mistress is the best courtesan in all of Spain and even the whole world. She’s performing for you and that’s a very rare thing”, he said as he tried to push security out of the way to no avail. “Hey, back off”, one of the guards said. “And if I don’t? I wasn’t talking to you”, Rupert said. Leonardo walked out of the building without a glance at Rupert. "I almost wished he was gay, seeing as he wasn't swayed by my mistress's charms. Maybe then I'd have had a chance," Rupert thought, as he turned and went in search of Lima. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * “We have with us today, Arya Marcello. We all know she is our sponsor so feel free to
Lima was sitting in her room, alone. The Don was proving to be a tough nut to crack but she had to admit that was what she liked about him. Unlike every single men she’s met, he doesn’t seemed enamored by her charms. His attention barely left his wife the day they met for the first time. She would try every spell in the book, every trick in her hat and every single thing in her disposal to get him. And she would get him, use him and toss him aside like an old toy. An old toy she would definitely always go back to. She bit her lips at the thought. She moaned and touched herself thinking about him but was distracted by the knock on the door. “Mistress?”, Rupert’s voice was heard. She sighed in agony. “Yes? Come in”, she said and sat up. He entered the room. “Mistress, your phone has been buzzing non stop since your performance. Word has gone out that you are back in La Hermandad de las Estrellas apparently”, he said. “Oh, goodness. All these men but I only want the one
Arya rushed into the cabin as soon as the car stopped. She had to wash up because she had been throwing up non stop since the ride. Leonardo ran in after her but she locked the bathroom door behind her. “Arya”, he banged the door. “Go away, sicko”, she said and threw up again. “This sicko is not going anywhere”, he said and banged the door. She pour cold water over her face and took off her gown. She was standing in the bathroom in her underwear and heels. “I’m still here. Open the fucking door, Arya”, he said. She started brushing her teeth. “Go away”, her voice was muffled. “I’ll break the door in if you don’t come out before I loose my mind”, he said and she held the sound of him walking away. “Padrino, il tipo ha appena consegnato la, she heard one of the soldiers talking to him. (Godfather, the guy has delivered the cocaine). “Va bene, verrò a controllare presto”, her husband responded and shut the door. (Alright, I’ll come check it out soon). She would
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
