THIRD PERSON'S POVCiro happened to have a mansion in Venice Italy as one of his investments and also had a cabal of rogues who he ensured control his properties. Elena would also learn that most of the money that Ciro had acquired in Venice was obtained from various criminal activities of the gang who go about the human world doing all sorts of atrocities. She had woken up on this fateful day to notice that Ciro had gone out probably with the rest of the crew thereby leaving with Rico.“So I noticed that you would be too tired to eat, so I went out this morning and bought us food to eat” Rico stated showing the food to her.“Oh, Great, great”“A little lost for words are we? Someone is clearly not a morning person” ale chuckled. “And I do hope you drink coffee too because I got them hot” “Yes” she simply stated not in the mood to say anything to him as he went on ranting. She sat down on the table where she awaited for the food.“Breakfast coming right up!” Rico stated loudly as
THIRD PERSON'S POV“Hi, you must be Elena” She smiled, holding out her hand to shake. “It is nice to finally meet you” Alex smiled slightly, shaking her hand. “It's Elena and you must be Erica. I didn’t know you were coming. Ciro doesn’t tell me if important guests would come over”Erica looked taken aback and turned to her cousin with a glare “You didn’t tell her I was coming?”“No, it kinda slipped my mind given all the other things I have been dealing with lately” He glossed over, his eyes drifting to the apron Elena was putting on for a moment.“Well I apologize then for intruding on Elena” Erica softened her stare as she spoke to Elena.“No, it is fine. I am grateful for your company. I was just making some delicious cookies and since you are here at the moment, it is only pertinent I make some more. Precisely it would be nice having someone to talk to while I bake” Elena smiled at the look of shock on Ciro's face as she spoke.“Of course! Marcel would love to help out too! if y
36.THIRD PERSON'S P.O.VHey dear” Marcel and Elena both turned and looked at her and Marcel ran to hug her mum. Elena watched in awe. She wondered how on earth Erica ended up being Ciro's cousin. “So I thought of something” Erica said as she sat down beside Elena while they both watched cartoons with the child. “How about we head out this evening; like all girls outings” Elena turned around to look at her hoping she was joking but there was no sign of humor on her face.“Yes! Yes please!” Elena said with joy; she really needed to go out and feel the fresh air of the world after having to live in the hell of a place.“But will Ciro approve of it?” Elena stopped on her tracks after having to think of Ciro's dismissal of their plan.“Oh! He wouldn’t dare say no to me” Erica said with much assurance.Ciro was in his office, when Erica matched in, unannounced causing the former to wonder what he had done at the moment again.“So I came to tell you that I will be heading out with Elena fo
“The dishwasher is empty, put your dishes in there when you are done” Elena informed them, cleaning up the little particles on her own side of the table.“Elena, can you please help me” Erica had been trying to plead with Marcel to eat the spaghetti that had been prepared but she had been refusing to eat.“Hey young lady, have you heard of under fed children?” She knelt down to her level so she could see her properly.“When you are under fed, the school bullies will continue to bully you” Elena stated to her and the lad decided to eat up.When she was gone, Ciro yelled at Insigne for ever raising any issue of music to her hearing knowing the condition she was in.“I was just trying to suggest she try something new!” He defended himself.“She has been doing great this past week. You all just had to go and remind her about life outside of this place, didn’t you?” Ciro threw his hands in the air as he spoke.“She never forgets, she is been repressing the thoughts and that is really unhea
LUCAS'S P.O.V"Okay thank you very much" The head of the police department dropped his telephone and sighed, looking up to stare at me, with the same obvious disappointing face he had earlier on. He was a bulky man with a built body. The only problem with this man was the fact that he had a mustache, making him look really awkward."Am sorry Detective Lucas, there is no sign or report of what you are looking for" He finally had the voice to say. I stared at him for a moment, wondering what sort of things I could do to him if I had much power in my hands. This bloody man had me waiting for almost an hour and after making a basic call, tell me this? Internally, I began to count my breathing and eventually released it to cool my nerves."However, if there is anyone who can help you with Ciro's whereabouts, is perhaps his worst and archenemy" Finally, something to spice up my day. I pulled my hat down and sat back to the chair, giving him my full attention."Who is he? Where does he stay?
39.Elena P.O.V"I should have known this was why you wanted to be left alone" Erica stated as Ciro grabbed yet another bite of the apple. I had rushed to get fresh fruits from the fridge and was surprised to see Erica schooling Ciro, despite how big he was."Don't ever do this again. If Elena hadn't Informed me about this, I wouldn't have known something of such nature is happening to you. Are you trying to get yourself killed?" Ciro for the first time looked up at me and stopped chewing on the apple."You shouldn't have allowed her into the room, my demons are only meant for you and the gang to see, not her" Slightly, I felt hurt by the statement. However, I still believed he had his reasons for the statement."I know and I am sorry for that. Eat your fruit and rest, Elena and I would be heading out for now" He hadn't taken his eyes off me after he made that statement. Once Erica tried to pull me alongside her, he smiled a faint smile, seemingly trying to assure me that all was goin
Lucas P.O.VDifferent calls kept on coming in as I kept on deciphering where Ciro could had taken Elena to. It was too surprising to see that after a week of her kidnap, the security personnels, who had been everywhere couldn't get to know where her exact location was. It was as though Ciro had made Elena vanish from the face of the earth. However, I knew time would tell about the entire situation going on at the moment. Suddenly, I felt the cold wind of the evening hitting my body. How I wasn't able to close the window, all the while remained a serious mystery to me. While trying to close the window however, I noticed a stranger figure. It was odd especially for the fact that it was miles away from my window.On a closer look, I noticed the man was with a sniper in his hands and Instinctively I ducked, causing the incoming bullet move away. He tried it yet again and I kept on moving out of the way for the said bullet, till I was able to grip my gun. Having counted five, I boldly sto
Third P.O.V“I cannot just stand and watch all the things I have labored for go to waste, never! During the exchange of fires, I got hit by one of their bullet. It was only a miracle that it didn’t hit my heart area” Ciro stated.“You are risking a lot of things Ciro and one of them is your life” Elena complained as she help the man stand up to his feet“How did you dressed your self from the wounds” Elena asked.“There have been nights where I have been injured badly more than this and I treated myself without anyone knowing; not even the boys” Ciro stated.Elena's eye was drawn to the scars that spread across his back and she touched them. Ciro was smart enough to have tattooed all of them and ensure that no one saw through them but Elena seemed to have seen them.“I got them all when I was young but that will be another story for another day” Ciro didn’t want her questioning him about the tattoo.“Are the boys aware of this?” Elena asked as she watch him make cereal himself and sur
