“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
Lucas P.O.V"You all had only one job and that was to make sure that the entire place was well secured and right now, there of the prisoners are dead..." These were the words o heard the moment I stepped into the General Anton's office. He looked extremely pissed judging from his facials and I felt a little pity for the young ones at the place at the moment."We are sorry sir, we didn't know anyone would enter the prison and do such a thing" Prison? Did that guy just made mention of the prison. It may seem as though someone had killed prisoners."Get out of my office and wait for your punishment" General Anton, once again ordered and the two men instantly left the office, leaving the general and myself in one place."What brings you here detective Lucas" He said in a much calmer tone, having gone to take his seat."While I was making researches in my office yesterday, someone had the guts to try to kill me. I was hoping you would look into it yourself" He raised his head up in disbeli
"What a hell of a roll coater day for me" He said, holding up his temple. Elena on the other hand, stood up and kisses him in the fore head, before leaving for a room. A gesture that Ciro hadn't thought would ever happen.Just before Elena could get to her room, she felt someone standing behind her and when she turned around, she noticed Insigne standing with his glasses on."You know something Elena, I may have erased the doubt I had about you, when we figured out that Marco was an insider giving information to the police. But with what I saw today at the HILTOP hotel, I may just have my doubts back" "I don't know what you are talking about" Elena indicated, feigning innocence."The footage showed that you were standing at a static point in the restroom and by my logical sense of reasoning, I believe an average person would do what they came to the restroom for and then eventually head out, but you just stood there. Were you tampering with the footages?" Inisgne asked."All that you
Elena P.O.VStepping into the main building of the prisoners headquarters, there was only one thought I had in mind; finding a way to get Ciro out of there. Love they say could make anyone go at any length to make sacrifices, and sacrifices was what I was willing to do at this point for Ciro. I couldn't bare seeing him in prison, knowing that there has been a difference between this moment and the last time. Everyone, who saw me while heading towards Anton's office all had a look of curiosity in their face. The look which indicated whether or not I would remain the same after being in the loins of Ciro. Obviously, their question was valid as it turned out that I could never be the same again from that kidnap.Standing at the door to Anton's room, I took in a deep breath and prayed to whatever deity existed that my request be granted. "Come in" I heard his voice and for some moment, I was startled however I still kept my cool and made my way into the office. Upon seeing my face, Anto
