Brinda

We willed our legs faster towards the parked truck behind the blue painted building ahead of us.

Francesco had informed us earlier that a truck would be leaving for Marshall's hideout at exactly one in the morning.

Getting to the truck, which was already moving slowly, Bullet hit the back of the truck and ensured the door opened with a little sound so as not to attract the drivers.

Just when we were about to climb into the truck, it came to a halt. We stared at each other for a while, prepared for the worst.

We stilled our bodies when we heard footsteps approaching us. I tightened my hold on the knife in my hand as I faced the left while Bullet concentrated on the right side.

Then, I heard a grunt from Bullet's side. Before I could think of assisting her, another man showed up in front of me and tried to hit me on the back of my head.

We locked hands and we started fighting. I hit him quite a number of times on the jaw before I used an iron rod behind me to render him unc

    BrindaSeeing Marshall stand in front of me again, the strength I had gathered all these while just drained out of my body. Sweat glistened on my brow and my heart couldn't stop beating fast like a freight train. “How is this possible? I pushed you myself.” There was a rapid vibration in my voice. He shot me a sarcastic glance as he said, “That was what you think. Yes, you did push me off the cliff but… Here I am. Ta-da! You must have hit rock bottom.” “Brinda… Don't fall for it. He is trying to trap you.” Bullet said with a tone devoid of emotion but my mind was faraway from where I was. Is this the same person who promised that I would get over these same men? “Brinda!” Bullet's voice came cracking like thunder, shaking the air. She shoved me to the left and a few seconds later, I heard her grunting.As I turned, I saw Alice behind me. Her face was twisted in a snarl. Her hands, raised slightly above my head and she was ready to make me her prey. I shot her a deadly glance and

    Brinda“This is a toast to a victory well deserved. I'm proud of you both. And note that, you both are free to ask me whatever you want.” Francesco winked at me, his eyes sparkling with mischief. I knew what his intentions towards me were but I won't give in. Instead, he would pay for his sins.We clink our glasses and we all gulped the contents down our throats. We finished eating and Bullet presented the crypt key to Francesco whose eyes widened in surprise. “Now, the time I have been waiting for has come.” Francesco's voice was lower than we spoke, his eyes danced around the box as he collected it from Bullet. It felt as though it had been his life's longest and biggest dream. Only time will tell. He has achieved his aim already and so will I achieve mine. He tapped my shoulder gently and I shifted my head to his direction. He stared at the box for some time before he stretched his hands towards me. “Take it.” He ordered, his gaze commanding and unrelenting. I also stretched

    Brinda Francesco pushed me to the bed and he slowly climbed over me till his face was almost into mine. I moved my head away from his direction. It was then he grabbed my right cheek and pulled my face back to face him. A mischievous smile played across his lips then he brought out his tongue which made me wonder what he had in mind with it. “Are you trying to seduce me now?” I whispered, my breath brushing against his face and I felt the heat giving how close we were. “Please, fall for the devil. He loves you.” Francesco's voice came out thick, his words running together. “Or don't you want to fall in love with the devil?” He asked after thirty seconds of silence. “I hate the devil. How can I fall for him?” I replied, my gaze fixed on him. “Then, show me how much you hate the devil.” His words melted into my ears. I hate you to the extent that I am already counting the number of days you have left. By the time you die, I will hate you more. “Vuol dire che il mio cuore batte s

    Brinda I held onto the briefcase in my right hand like my life depended on it as I moved around the people finding their way to their different destinations on the streets. The past few days of my life have been nothing but hell. Francesco wouldn't control the devil inside him and I had been a pawn to his dark side. All he did was to punish me just for trying to seduce him. I am bothered with two things though. One, he hasn't asked for the crypt key nor has he taken a step that is hideous because I have kept my eyes on him the whole fucking time. Two, there has been no attack or signs of Marshall even while I tried to track him down. Where could he be hiding? I glanced at the timer in my head. Just five minutes left. I have to deliver the goods in the briefcase and leave the area quickly. As I turned to the street on the left, I was greeted by the faint smell of alcohol that rented the air but I kept a straight face and remained vigilant. I noticed a bungalow with a red door as

    Liam Parker sat on the plush armchair in the centre of the room he was lodged in Satellite hotel. On his sides were beauties — sluts — that were ready to go dirty for him.The blue-haired lady among the three ladies around him kept on rubbing her left hand on his lap while he kept on biting his lips.As they say, ‘One thing must surely kill a man'. Liam is a typical example of that. He has been working with the Fernandez's family for over a decade but he has a habit that he can never get rid of and that is women. While on missions, he can give up on them as long as he sees whatever he loves — Big breasts, extra large ass and a sexy appearance with a pretty face. “Liam… You promised me a brand new car but you haven't bought it yet.” The green-haired lady on his right said while twisting her face to make her seem sad.Liam parted her back and said, “I have it covered. Very soon, you will see your new car. Also, each one of you has a new car.” The ladies all chorused, “Awwnnnnnn,” bef

    Bullet rushed into the lift and punched the policeman in his jaw. Brinda joined in quickly and knocked two of them out. When they were done, Bullet pulled out her gun and shot the three policemen on their chest. “What the fuck have you done?” Brinda's voice raised to a questioning one.“Really? Are you dumb? They have seen our faces. If they are alive, the police will find us once our faces are sketched.” Bullet retorted after smacking Brinda in the head. The latter let out a loud sigh. “We can't go back. There must be more down there.” “Attention everyone. Kindly remain in your hotel rooms. A murder had just been committed and the murderers are on the loose.” The announcement came from the speaker hanging a few metres away from the ladies.Bullet held her chest tightly but Brinda grabbed her hands and pulled her towards the stairs. The differences between them dropped drastically as they glided down the stairs. Bullet saw a group of policemen running up the stairs. She pulled Bri

    Brinda I can't believe the mysterious man outsmarted Bullet and I. While we ran away from the hotel earlier, the air seemed to vibrate with an otherworldly energy, as if he was a harbinger of secrets and hidden truths. His very presence seemed to command attention, drawing someone in with an irresistible force, like a moth to a flame. He had almost the same personality Francesco has. “I guess he's gone. We have to head back home.” Bullet said while tapping my shoulder. I let out a sigh as I watched the mysterious man vanish from my sight. The journey back home was peaceful because I already fell asleep and a hand tapped my cheeks before I flipped my eyes open though they were still heavy with sleep. My eyes darted around and it fell on Bullet who snapped her fingers right in front of me. “We are home.” “That fast?” I asked, my voice accompanied by a loud yawn. “If you wish to get married to the taxi driver. Then good luck.” She whispered, paid the driver and opened the door on

    “There is no better time to enjoy the death of an enemy's ally than in the early hours of the morning. Do you agree, Marshall?” Alessia’s voice rented the air which after she and Marshall laughed wholeheartedly. The whole room was filled with laughter as they had just achieved their goal. Marshall danced around for a while still using his stick. Obviously, a trick he has under his sleeves to make Alessia work with him which she had fallen for. “I always knew you were the perfect woman for the job.” Marshall dropped a positive comment. Alessia raised an eyebrow though with a smile on her face. “Really! I mean it. The Santini’s never miss their target.” “Celebrate less. One target down. One more to go.” Alessia smirked. “Until I don't kill Francesco myself, I won't stop this mission.” “Wow! I love your spirit. And I would like to be there at that moment. I would love to see you dive a knife into his chest. Also, I might also taste his blood.” Marshall's eyes narrowed, his gaze pierc

    FrancescoThe morning light filtered through the curtains, but peace didn’t follow it. As I descended the stairs, the moment my foot hit the last step, I saw them.Bullet. Guerrero. Brinda.She was at the center of it all, like the sun around which everyone revolved — even when she was chaos.They were gathered in the living room with some of my men. But the moment I walked in, silence sliced through the room like a guillotine. Their formation shifted. Their conversation snapped shut like a forbidden book.I didn’t need to ask. I knew.Brinda hadn’t liked the finality in my voice yesterday. I knew her too well — and now, I saw it clearly. She must have called them. She was going to take the Santinis down herself if I didn’t move fast enough.I scanned the room, eyes locking onto the one person I could never seem to control — her.She was biting her nails. A nervous tic.I smirked. Got you, Damsel.I

    “Francesco, what do we do now?” Brinda’s voice cracked as she gripped his shoulder, her fingers trembling. “Before we even blink, everything will spiral out of control. We need to plan something big. Something Alessia won’t see coming. It has to catch her off guard… it has to.” Francesco’s jaw clenched, the veins on his neck twitching. His eyes were cold — so cold they looked carved from frozen steel. “I don’t know,” he muttered, his voice low, haunted. “I can’t say this is what we should do. I’m… I’m confused, Brinda. Any wrong step right now could destroy us all. One wrong move, and it’s over.” Brinda exhaled, slowly, almost as if her lungs were caving in. “What if I said I had a plan?” “No.” His response cut the air like a blade. “Whatever you are thinking — keep it locked in your mind. I won’t put anyone at risk again. Enough is enough.” Her eyes burned as she stared at him. “How do you know what I’m thinking, Francesco

Mafia Rules.Do You Dare To Enter?A chill ran down my spine. What the hell does that mean?I swallowed hard and turned the first page.Nothing.A frown creased my forehead. I flipped to the next.Still nothing.Page after page — Blank.My pulse pounded in my ears. No, this had to be some kind of joke. The Black Book — The book so many had bled and died for, the book that could shift the balance of power in the mafia world… was empty?Impossible.Am I the first human to open it? Or had someone else erased its secrets?My left fist clenched, nails biting into my palm as my breathing turned erratic. Rage coiled inside me, hot and uncontrollable, but I for

    Brinda slowly climbed out of bed, her pulse hammering against her ribs as a thousand thoughts raced through her mind. If Francesco had truly pranked Marshall and Alessia with The Black Book, then they were walking a razor-thin edge of disaster. She could already picture the storm brewing on the horizon, a tempest of blood and vengeance waiting to swallow them whole.She turned sharply toward him, her voice low, uncertain. “Is this really The Black Book?”Francesco, lounging against the headboard, stretched his arm out lazily, dangling the infamous book between his fingers. A knowing smirk played on his lips. “Why don’t you check for yourself?”Hesitant yet eager, Brinda stepped forward and took the book from him, her fingers grazing his for a fleeting second. She let out a sharp breath, the weight of secrets pressing against her chest. When she was satisfied, a bright smile of relief tugged at her lips, though it quickly faded into susp

    Brinda carefully assisted Francesco, guiding his battered body until he sat upright beside her on the bed. His muscles tensed with the effort, but she was there, her touch light yet steady. As soon as he was settled, she curled into his arms, her body melting against his as if she belonged nowhere else. He pulled her in, his hold instinctively protective, like he was cradling something precious — Something he couldn’t afford to lose again.Their heartbeats found a rhythm, syncing in the quiet intimacy of the moment.“I never thought you would come to save me,” Brinda murmured against his chest, her voice still hoarse but gaining strength. “I thought you wouldn’t want to.”Francesco inhaled sharply, his fingers absently threading through her hair, twining the strands around his calloused fingertips. The weight of her words settled deep in his chest.“You should know better,” he muttered, his voice edged with quiet reprimand. “You should k

    Seconds have turned to minutes and minutes have turned to hours and hours have turned to days since Francesco had brought Brinda back to the Dante's mansion. Elizabeth, on the other hand has not returned from her sexcapades while Guerrero has been in charge of Francesco's men who had returned after they heard of the return of The Mafia's Black Rose. Bullet had also urged Francesco to get more women to work in the house, especially in the kitchen. The food cooked by Francesco’s men is nothing to write home about. Bullet had also started to forget about her lover, Mark while she was also saddled with the responsibility of taking care of Brinda. Francesco had also gone back to work to attend to a lot of work he had left undone. He struck a deal with Charlotte Kavanaugh who seemed delighted to work with Dante Group of Companies. Their life had finally taken a new toll of longing for peace. Alessia, on the other hand, was still

    Francesco alighted from his car as he clutched the black bag to his chest. His eyes were fixed on the red Range Rover parked a few metres from where he was. A few minutes later, Alessia and Marshall emerged from the backseat of the car with smiles radiating on their faces. Francesco’s breathing quickened as he laid his eyes on his once-upon-a-time lover. He studied her for a moment before he concealed his emotions. “Where is The Black Book?” Marshall asked, while he puffed smoke into the air. “Where is she?” Francesco demanded. “I need to see her before dropping the item.”“Trust is essential in our world. By now, you should know that I don't go back on my words.” Alessia spoke up. Francesco glanced at the bag for a moment. Coming alone to get Brinda from the two bloody past friends of his was already a risk. Would he take another risk of dropping The Black Book without seeing Brinda to know if she was still fine?

    “What do you say about the deal?” Leopard Russo’s voice echoed through the room. His brother, Tiger Russo, was seated beside him on the sofa smoking as he enjoyed the conversation his brother was striking with Alessia Santini and Marshall Fernandez. They had come to meet the duo — Alessia and Marshall — With the high hope of getting them to side with them to fight the Dante family. However, can they strike the deal as they had planned? Could it be possible that they have a motive behind the collaboration they want? Will Alessia and Marshall let their guard down and seal the deal? Alessia's laughter was a cold, mirthless sound. “Without anything to offer, you dare call it a deal? I don't see it as one.” “Exactly what I was thinking. What are you willing to offer?” Marshall who had been sitting quietly all along finally let some words slip out of his mouth. “Really?” Tiger scoffed. “Are you going to w

Move, I told myself, but my body wouldn’t obey.“Could it be…?” My voice cracked as I forced the words out.A soft chuckle came from the other end. Cold. Mocking.“You guessed it right. I am the real mastermind. Do you love the plot twist?”A jolt of guilt shot through me. No. No, this isn’t happening.I made a mistake.
