“Elena Verlice, you are under arrest for aiding and possibly abetting the escape of an inmate. All you say now may or may not be used against you in the court of law so, you have the right to remain silent.” The voice of the fat policeman that looked like he had lived his whole life on donuts resounded in my office as he cuffed me.
Oh my God! What the hell is going on? Why am I being accused of helping her escape? Wait…. He escaped?
Tears started to well in my eyes.
“How could he betray me this way? I had risked everything for him and this is all I get? I really hoped that he wasn't going to do it. I guess I was only a stepping stone in his elaborate plan. I guess I was the only one who fell, both in love and in life. I thought he…...” I trailed off in thought tears began to pour from my face for the first time in forever.
I disassociated myself from the world as I was being led to the police vehicle. A lot of eyes peered from the windows of firms and houses around the street. I saw as they began to murmur incessantly as they tried to indiscreetly point at me.
I could already imagine what they would say.
“What the hell? Isn’t that the legendary Elena Verlice? Why is she being arrested? What crimes did she commit? Did she go too crazy on one of her patients and they killed themselves? What exactly is her crime? Should we go closer to find out? I really want to know what brought about the fall of…..” Would be all the questions that they were murmuring to themselves.
Even in this situation, I could read their faces, I could see through their facades of pity. Deep down, none of them had been happier that I was in this state.
Broken and Betrayed.
As the door of the police vehicle was being opened, I couldn’t help but look back at the building I had just been brought out of. I trained my eyes on the particular window of the building.
My mind was already replaying the memories of all that went down in that office.
The hate, the love, the confessions, the comforting and the passion. All of it played like flashes of movies in my mind.
I guess my crazy was truly not enough for you.
Tears fell from my eyes as I turned my back to it all.
To love and pain.
To the trust and betrayal.
To the truth and the lies.
As I got into the vehicle and the door was closed behind me, I couldn’t help but wonder what would have happened if………
Would it still be the same if…..
Would I still be the same if…..
I looked up and my empty heart became filled with hatred as I stared into those sky blue eyes that were watching this whole scene unfold from the corner. He stood there with fake tears in her eyes as they drove me away.
Would I still have it all, if I hadn’t met him.
If I hadn’t met Ciro Russo.
***********************
I felt my body shiver in fear as I waited calmly inside the dark interrogation room. The coldness of the room brought more chills to my body as my mind unconsciously said a few prayers I wasn't even aware I knew before.
How did I get into this mess? I keep asking myself everytime I remember the situation I'm in.
My head turned to the loud sound of the door opening hitting my ear. I felt my heart skip a bit and another wave of cold swept across my body.
I slowly watched the Lawyer and another man walk into the room with several files in their hands.
"Good day Miss Verlice. Mr Laurence here would like to have a few words with you." The lawyer who I knew before sounded like a complete stranger meeting me for the first time.
They both sat down and Mr Laurence opened a file in front of me and I heard myself gasps loudly.
"Miss Verlice, we have a lot of evidence which could show us you can come out as an accomplice in the escape of Mr Ciro Russo." Mr Laurence stated.
"But due to your previous reputation, we are forced to believe you might be innocent but this evidence is still not present and there is nothing that can be done. This evidence is threatening to cause the loss of your license so we need your complete cooperation to get Mr Russo back." He said again but all I could think about was my license being seized.
Where the hell am I going to start from if that happens? What was I going to do?
I should have listened when everyone told me to back out from Ciro Russo.
I should have known it was a dangerous risk.
You might be confused about this whole issue, so let me rewind it all to the day it all started
The day I met him!
Ciro Russo!!

Third person POVFIVE MONTHS EARLIER‘Bringgggg’ the sound of a buzzer rang out as the door slid opened.A middle-aged man with already balding hair that was in a warden’s uniform walked through the door. He had a nonchalant look on his face as he walked past cell doors. He looked like he had a destination in mind with the way his eyes never strayed to the inmates that were either shouting at him or begging him for one reason or the other. He didn’t even spare them a glance and twisted his mouth in a distasteful manner as if he were being bothered by flies. He walked for a bit till he got to a section of the prison that all the cells were quiet.He smirked as he glanced at each of the male inmates in those cells that were cowering in fear or were trying their best not to make any sounds.“These guys are such scaredy cats. Well I understand them seeing as they had the misfortune to be put in a cell that was near….” The middle-aged warden thought to himself as he turned his eyes away f

Elena's POV“Why exactly do I have to take on this crazy patient? I have no obligation to and I had also told you that I was not interested.” I asserted as I looked dryly at the man that was sitting across from me.“Well I already know that you have no obligation to do so and I am not in the position to force you but listen to me here. The director told me that you have no clients as of now and you would gladly take it on. I could go and confront him now if you want.” He said as he raised his hand in a bid to calm me down.I scoffed and rolled my eyes at him.“Am I to be scared of your threats? I won’t take on a job if I am not interested in it” I barked before turning away.“Please. I’m sorry for the threats but if you would just take a look at this” he replied.He reached for his bag and dug through before he brought out a brown folder.“What’s that?” I asked as I eyed him suspiciously.“Oh thus?

Elena swiftly imputed the password to her apartment door as she felt the pee she was trying so deeply to suppress threaten to explode out of her. Dropping her hand bag and other things she was with on the apartment floor as soon as the door opened and dashed into the nearest restroom close to the door, she heard a faint door close somewhere inside the apartment."You need to stop this habit of holding your pee just because you are coming home." She heard her roommate's voice and she slowly walked out of the restroom and dragged herself to where she had previously dropped her things and proceeded to pick them up before walking to the kitchen to be greeted by her best friend Carolina."You know you could have just stopped at a gas station to use the restroom right." Elena could hear the sarcasm dripping from her voice making her just roll her eyes."I was on my way home so why bother myself?" She walked past Carolina who was dressed in a pink short and a gray sweatshirt with her lon

CIRO'S POV I heard the sound of the chain on the cell gates shaking and I knew for a matter of fact that someone was opening and when I took a deep breath I perceived the familiar cheap perfume of the lawyer and the smell of old clothes from the warden. There really wasn't any harm in staying in prison. I mean it's fun being here but no, it's for my stay in prison to be reduced and I do like the idea of... And I knew you definitely believed what I just said well unfortunately for you that was a wrong move you just made right there... Ha... You believed me again. "Good morning Ciro, it's time for your appointment." "Really? I thought it was in thirty minutes?" I questioned as I flipped my hair out of my face and I saw as he instantly took a deep breath and fear flashed in his eyes making me smile. "... Are you looking for this?" I held his wallet in my hand and wrist watch and he shook in fear. "How is the world did you..." He trailed off when I let out a laugh then I threw it to

ELENA'S POV I wasn't lying when I say that he was bloody handsome, but my smile immediately dropped into a frown as they came closer, and I opened my office door with the keys before walking in, and I could literally feel his stare of me, but I wasn't really shook by it, I was just surprised as too how he was handsome yet a crazy criminal. "Morning gentlemen." I greeted the army's men, and he was behind them. "Elena Verlice, nice to finally meet you. We will let you do your job. We will be outside and be careful. He is really crazy." "I heard that Voldemort." he spoke, and any sane person would know he is an Italian man. His voice was thicker than I imagined, and the accent was clear with his face which was still covering half of his face, but he wasn't looking at me, rather he was looking at the lock that was in his hand. I watched him closely, completely ignoring whatever the army's men were saying, and I saw as he bent a piece of the chain that was wrapped around his hands wit

I immediately stood up and ran towards the kitchen only to see the gas turned on and soon enough the fire alarm began to ring.I turned it off and immediately picked the gas cylinder and opened the door before anything could possibly happen, and I looked to my right only to see Carolina talking to one of our neighbors while laughing.I ran back into the fire in the frying pan. It turns out she was making some pancakes, but unfortunately she forgot, and now it's more like burning cakes.I opened the windows as soon as possible and ran back outside with my respiratory mask on, I removed it and Carolina has still not noticed what was going on."Carolina is you don't get your ass right here this fucking second, you are going to regret it!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, and she turned around to look at me and then the house before her eyes widened.She immediately ran towar

ELENA'S POV The moment I got to the hospital I heard glass smashed from the far corner of the room and I noticed how people began to scream, and I furrowed my eyebrows feeling extremely confused. "What's happening?" I asked the receptionist and I could see the clear fear in her eyes and I knew she was going to happen. I walked towards where the commotion was taking place and while pushing through people, for heaven’s sake this was a hospital, why were these people asking like animals? "Leave me the fuck alone!" I heard Ciro yell and my eyes widened. It wasn't even eight yet, and he was here already, what could have possibly made him this angry so early in the morning. I pushed through people and the moment I got to him, I held his hand as soon as I saw it coming towards my face, and he turned around to hit me but stopped his fist midair the moment he noticed it was me. "Take a deep breath." I instructed, but he kept looking at me. "And why would I do that?" He questioned, and

I was too shocked by what even happened, but I didn't back away no, I couldn't or rather I could, but I didn't want to because his mouth is more like sugar. He backed away, and I blinked. Then he let out a crazy laugh, he laughed so hard and just then I realized what he actually did. He wanted to get me distracted and signed himself off my list of patients. "Ciro what the hell did you do?" I immediately stood up from the desk and picked the notepad. "I think you can read it yourself Sugar, so bye" he stood up to leave, but I stood in his front and slammed the notepad on his chest "Understand something Cairo, I am now your cell buddy's, the fucking FBI or the soldiers that are always around you, I'm your doctor, and you will do what I ask you to do now fucking sit down!" I yelled, but he laughed so hard that he sat down on the bare floor. Ok that was it, I didn't want to do this before, but now he left me with no choice, I walked towards my drawer and pulled out a syringe alongsi

She may not like Carl or find him remotely alluring, but it didn't change the fact that her relevancy and the life of her son Kastos, lay before his feet. Sometimes, Elena was cautious not to piss him off, knowing the extent Carl can go in proving a point that he is above everybody. Suddenly, she thought of something and immediately turn to stare at the child once again and that was when she realized what he had actually seen. Elena had doubts to her thoughts but the striking resemblance was too obvious to be ignored by any same person. Could it be? She thought to herself.

Ominicient P.O.VIt had been days since Ciro met Elena at the school library and he wondered if she had successfully enquired from her parents, the origin of the scar on her arm. Eating pancakes which had been prepared by Sofia, he felt his phone buzzed and picked up almost immediately."Good day boss" the deep voice of Lucifer spoke through the other end."Yea""We have bad news" Ciro stiffened for a while; could there have been another problem at his warehouse? He wondered to himself."What is it?""Dave is dead!" He began choking on the water he was drinking to calm his nerves. Sofia ram from the kitchen to the dining table to help him get through the process."What did you say?" Ciro asked in disbelief."I regret to say that Dave has passed on""What happened to him? Did he got shot by anyone?" Ciro asked while Sofia watched her husband carefully."No sir, it is suicide" "Suicide?

"And few years later, the leader of the death squad Carlos, died and now the new leader Tevez has been on the hunt to search for you" "So the death squad's name was changed to the Skull gang?" She asked looking up to her father. Herman had the same look of disbelief laced on his face. His wife had never informed him of the entire story revolving the cut wrist and now he is getting to know, he felt pissed."I am sorry I never told you darling, I couldn't bring myself to telling you that our daught was a godmother in one of he notorious gang" Elena watched as tears rolled down on her mom's cheek.

Romeo was startled by her question; it was the first time Doris would be the one asking the questions."Uhmm... Yes I guess?" He said absentmindedly as he dealt with the spaghetti sauce that was prepared by Doris'"So you' ve had relationships before?" Romeo chuckled; his past life was a thing he had always hoped will never come out for discussion as he hated everything that had to do with it."I had this girl I dated years ago, I loved her so much that I could do anything for her and I mean it literally" He watched as Doris listened attentively."So what happened to you two?"

The moment Carl heard that, he became wild awake."What are you talking about!" "We came back to base and discovered he is gone" Carl was shocked; how on earth had he escaped?

He asked out of sheer curiosity"I am surprised that you can't recognize my face" The man suddenly stepped into the light and the moment Romeo saw him, he gasped; aside the fact that he was the same man who had dragged Elena out of the bar he worked, he had a somewhat similar face with Ciro."Do you remember me now?" Carl asked as he bent down to his level. "I know you do" He said patting his head."What do you want from me" Romeo asked as Carl stepped back a bit, taking out a match stick and lighting up his cigarette again."I see you are the type that likes 'straight to the business type of situation'" Carl said with a smile on his face.
