My heart raced as I opened the door to find two police officers standing on the doorstep. The racing continued but I steadied my palpitating heart, I couldn't allow them know I was scared, still I was wondering what could have possibly brought them here. Trying to remain as calm as ever, I asked, "Can I help you officers? What brings you to my house?" Even as the words came out, I could only imagine they noticed my fear.They wasted no time in getting straight to the point. "We need to question you and search your house, Mister Luciano," one of them replied sternly.I could feel my heart sink as I realized the seriousness of the situation. They wouldn't just come without any information they got from someone. "Is there a reason for this? May I have your search warranty. " I asked, my voice trembling slightly."Let us in." The one I think as the boss said with authority."But then, can I see the warranty you've got to search my house." I repeated, maybe they didn't hear me.They push
The phone rang for the second time in a roll but I ignored. I didn't quite know what to say to my father, in the midst of everything that was happening, I couldn't bring myself to speak to him. There were more pressing matters at hand. I ignored his call, not interested in his speech today.I pulled a stop in front of the mall and watched Tiffany get down, she didn't even care if I followed her. I knew she would have called me, but didn't just want to show she cared. We entered the groceries store, the atmosphere vibrant and energetic. I headed to the fruit section, while Tiffany moved towards the vegetables section. As she moved through the room, she handled her tasks efficiently and I knew she'd make a scrumptious meal for dinner. Regardlless of how I was trying to fit in and not act so cold, my mind was preoccupied with thoughts of yesterday and the encounter with the police. It had been a close call that would have added to the problem at hand, but luckily, I had managed to sl
MASSIMO'S POVI dropped the bottle on the table and reached for another bottle of bourbon. I needed to keep drinking to get away from everything happening.I could feel the stone-like lump in my chest with each deep breath I took. I reached for the cigarette and took a draw. I puffed out the smoke after a few seconds and repeated the same thing over and over again.I hate my life because there's never a moment of peace. It felt like I couldn't do anything else or be anything other than what my father wanted.He was in control of my life and he made sure everything went his way. The plan to swap my mother failed and now, I couldn't stop thinking of what his reaction would be.I know he'd want to tach me a lesson for attempting to do such a thing but what I couldn't get was why he'd feel okay doing such things.Despite all these going, Luciano was still blaming me. I couldn't think of a better way to explain things to Luciano.It felt like he was never going to believe me again which b
Gladys took hastened steps to where I sat and before I could say anything, she slapped me."You piece of shit," she cussed panting hard.The guard walked to us immediately but I looked at him and shook my head. "Don't worry, I'll handle this."He looked like he was unsure of my response but I gave a nod insisting that it was okay and he could leave."Go ahead," I told him again. "I'll take care of her."He gave a nod in response and walked away through the door. I watched him walk away before turning my attention back to Gladys who stood there like a statue. Her brows were furrowed and her lips formed a grim. You could tell from one glance that she was upset and mostly, frustrated.She kept panting hard like there was more to say and I knew she came for a reason."To what do I owe this unpleasant visit?" I asked her and a furrow appeared on her forehead."Unpleasant, really?" She looked at me and smirked wickedly. "I promise you've not seen one bit of unpleasant.""Just fucking calm
I stood up from the chair and kept pacing the room back and forth. I couldn't think of anything else other than my mom.I sighed audibly as if I was waiting for something. Actually, I was trying to think. I was thinking of ways to speak to my mom to know what was happening. If truly my father found out about the swap plan then we were in deep trouble.I walked to the table and grabbed my phone from the table. I looked at the screen and there was still no confirmation text from my mom.I tried calling my mom and just waited for the phone to ring.I placed the phone on my ear waiting for her to answer the call when I heard my father's voice."Look who we have," he said and I swallowed hard."I just—""I hope you know the coronation is in few days and your step sister will be taking over soon.""I don't fucking care!! I just want to talk to my mom. That's all i'm asking for.""Sounds like a lot of request," he mumbled and I paused.I knew what he was trying to do cause he always had his
I unfastened the seatbelt as I got closer to the school parking lot.I was a few miles away from the actual parking lot cause I didn't want to be seen yet.I turned slightly to the left side mirror and watched Luciano drive in. He parked in the lot and took a moment before he turned off the ignition.Tiffany was sitting on the passenger seat beside him. I had no idea how I felt looking at her but I felt somehow irritated. She looked calmer than usual but my concern was Luciano. He wore an expression that wasn't expressable. I could barely tell what was going through his mind."Sweet son of a bitch" I cussed.He should be like a normal person not like a psychopath. Sometimes I feel like he still loves Tiffany and another, I feel like he wants her dead. Sometimes I feel like he is liking me and some other time he would shot me dead.I hated it so much to not be able to read his mind. I scoffed when I saw Tiffany lift her hands and took off her seatbelt.Due to the distance, it was impo
The door bell rang and I rolled my eyes. I wasn't expecting anyone and the men knew it. Even if it might be important, I just can't get my mind off my problems and my mother's safety. "I will save you mom" I said to myself and I meant it.I sat down on the couch with my legs on the edge of the couch. I had my phone in one hand and a glass of whiskey on the other hand.I sighed at how my days have been. It was taking so much effort and energy from me and I haven't been able to get a refill of that energy back. "Boss," Brad called and I looked in his direction. He bowed his head casually and then stood upright. "You have a guest.""Who is the guest?" I asked, quite aware that I already cleared my schedule. A part of me felt it was Gladys and I already felt irritated."The woman with the deal," he blurted."Send her in," I responded.He gave a nod and walked away. I dropped the glass on the table and waited for her.Selena walked in with so much pulse. "Sir," she called as she walk
I sat down quietly in the car. I parked in front of Luciano's house and looked around.His truck wasn't there so I could guess that he wasn't home yet.My hand was placed on the steering wheel while I used the other hand to search my pocket for a cigarette. I lit it and placed the blunt between my lips. I couldn't stop thinking of Gladys and her downfall. I Inhaled and then puffed out the smoke into the air. A small smile tugged on my lips at the thought of it. It felt good to know that I could be the end of her and her evil plans.I shoved out my phone from my pocket and glanced at it. I checked the notifications on my socials and smirked wickedly when I saw that Gladys' sex video was trending.My mouth slightly opened to allow the smoke move out before I lowered my head to my phone.I kept scrolling till I got to the comment section and saw people's reaction to the videos.Some people were asking for the videos and others were asking for payments."At least she's getting good rec
