Todd just died? But she didn't pull the trigger...then who did? Gulping, Jennifer studied the lifeless body that lay in front of her.

The sight of Todd's motionless body made her gag. Todd was lying on his back, with his eyes wide open, and his face suddenly drained of colour. No signs of life were in him. It was a quick kill. She noticed that the blood was pooling underneath his head but the wound wasn't visible. Which could mean that he was shot on the back of his head. 

She looked around frantically and spotted Frank at the stairs. However, he wasn't holding a gun. He too was staring bewildered. 

Just then, Frank's father stepped forward from behind. 

"I told you, Todd was mine to kill," he said. 

"Dad?" Frank was shocked to see his father.

"I heard what Mike told you. So I followed you upstairs. Didn't you realise that I was following you?" He smirked. 

Frank shrugged. "I guess

    Jennifer admired her reflection in the mirror. A little smile was constant on her lips. She had never thought that her special day would turn out to be like this. When she grew up, she had hoped that her father would be there for her on this day. That he would walk her down the aisle, holding her hand. Yet, that was far from reality. Her father had proved himself to be nothing but a halfwit.Her wedding gown was nothing short of a masterpiece. The top was embroidered using beads and sequins. The lacy flared skirt gave the gown an elegant look. Although her neckline revealed enough of her cleavage, she was certain that no one would dare look there. No one except the man of her dreams. A long slit on the side revealed her smooth legs. She smirked as she traced the Glock that was strapped to her thigh. Carrying it with her at all times was now a norm for her.

    Frank Gotham glared at the screen, cursing internally as he watched the CCTV footage of his office. The most important thing was stolen from his office and he had secrets that should remain hidden. "Fucking hell!" He growled when he recognised who the robber was. It was none other than his enemy. Most people were unaware of this man's connections with the underworld, however, Frank was well aware of it and he wasn't going to let him get away with it. Stealing from him was his worst mistake and if Frank has to teach him a lesson, he will not hesitate. Grabbing his gun, he stormed out of his room, gesturing his men to follow. Soon the three well-dressed men were racing towards Walter's residence, fully armed and ready to invade Walter's privacy. However, when they barged into their 3 bedroom apartment, all he saw was an empty house. A clean and tidy apartment where everything was arranged neatly. Not even

  • Unexpected Love With The Mafia Don   A Failed Attempt

    Jennifer didn't know how long she stood stunned at the doorway, staring motionlessly at the closed door. The darkness that enveloped her did not bother her. Nor did the dusty surroundings and the damp atmosphere that continued to itch her nose. What she had heard from the men was what scared her. They thought it was a shame to let it go to waste? What were they going to do with her body? She couldn't help but think the worst. Were they going to…..rape her? She gulped. The heat of the blocked attic coupled with her anxiety had her heart erratic. Her breathing came out as deep gasps of breath. It was sweltering and her thin shirt was already soaked with sweat. After some time, she looked around with widened eyes. The small window in the attic was the only source of light and it was lit just enough for her to see around. Since it was still daytime, the window provided enough light for her to see around. "I must get out of here

    Jennifer sat in the centre of the metal cage that was in the basement. This was worse than being locked up in the attic. At least the attic had some amount of light coming in through the window during the daytime. The basement was pitch-dark if they didn't turn the lights on and Jennifer doubted that they would keep the lights on for her.She glanced sideways at the four men who were busy gambling on a table. Their conversation and shouts of excitement were of no interest to her. Perhaps they wanted to make their stay enjoyable. She couldn't care less about what they did, as long as they left her alone. At least the light was still on as long as they were still in here.Hugging herself as she sat on the hard cement floor, she rested her head on her knees, in an attempt to comfort herself. She was still trembling. The fear that had gripped her had now resided. However, her body was still in shock. At least she was now under surveillance

    Jennifer didn't touch the food. She wasn't hungry anyway. She laid on the floor and wished that she could at least have a glimpse of the stars. Then perhaps she could have a little conversation with her mother.It may sound absurd to some people if they knew Jennifer spoke to the stars, imagining that her mother was up there, listening to her woes, offering her support. But Jennifer didn't care. It brought her contentment to some extent. She sighed. Now she couldn't do that. She would have to be patient with what she had. So she closed her eyes and heaved a deep breath."Mommy. I wish you didn't die. I wish you were here to take care of me. Maybe then, I wouldn't be so lonely." She whispered shakily and remained like that until once again, sleep overpowered her. Later during the night, one of Frank's men came into the basement to take away the plate and saw that the girl had not even touched her food last night. He didn't want to get into trou

    "Her boyfriend?" the doctor sceptically eyed the well-built man in front of him. Everyone in the neighbourhood knew who Frank was. However, no one dared do anything, nor make any comment. Especially if they feared it might anger him."Yes." He confirmed, his face remained emotionless as he did.Gulping, the doctor averted his gaze from the mafia leader. Maintaining eye contact with him was hard when it felt like Frank was staring right into the doctor's soul."Okay." He finally sighed. He would rather believe what he was told than get himself into a mess."Your girlfriend seems extremely weak and stressed. I can tell that she is going through a hard time, even though I haven't talked to her. She seems pale. I think you should take good care of her. Maybe, shower her with love and attention. I know life is busy, but right now, you must give what she needs and that is your love." The doctor explained, frowning as he checked Jennifer'

    Jennifer had not regained consciousness when she was reeled into the emergency room. The doctor who had visited them left as soon as the nurses at the hospital started to attend to her. Frank, his father and his cousin waited outside the emergency room for any news from the medical team. Frank's father was silently studying the reactions of his son and the other people around him. Being in the mafia for years had taught him not to trust a stranger, regardless of the situation. In addition to that, he had seen how reluctant Frank was to pick her up. And it raised questions in the old man's heart. He remained silent and chose to watch what happened, nonetheless. If his son was truly in a relationship with this girl, he would have to do some research before truly accepting her. "So she is your girlfriend? He asked Frank, scrutinizing his son's facial expressions. Frank on the other hand looked at his

    Frank hid his real emotions behind a mask of a facade, something he had mastered over the years. He had to think of something, and fast. "I was going to….but….." "He wanted to surprise you all." Jennifer cut him in, surprising him. Well, that was fast. His lips parted as he glanced in between Jennifer and his father, who remained stone cold. "Okay ...well, I'm surprised." Frank's father stated nonchalantly. "How did you fall down the stairs?" He asked. "I slipped and fell." Came the reply. "I wasn't feeling well. I guess I shouldn't have tried to walk around since I was feeling dizzy." She sighed. "And why did you get up? The doctor must have advised you to rest. You just have to inform the maids what you need and they will attend to you." Frank's father had his eyes focused on Jennifer, who didn't seem to mind his cold stare. "I don't like to order people around. I guess perhaps because I didn't g

    Great! She heard everything!" Todd mumbled squinting at the screen. When they checked the footage, they saw Jennifer and a tall, well-built man, listening to every word they uttered."Everything is ruined! Again! And because of that damned woman!" Todd grumbled, sneering in frustration."She keeps ruining everything for me! She is such a nuisance. I should have gotten rid of her first when I had the chance!" Todd gritted his teeth."What now?" Oswald frowned as he glanced at his father."We don't waste time. We must attack now! Tonight! We must attack at once!" He stated and stood up from his seat."Quick! Call the men! Get ready to fight. We are going to finish them off and leave this place for good!" He decreed."Leaving?" Oswald frowned."Yes. Leaving. We will move to Italy and that's where we will settle down. I am done living in the states. But I'm not going to leave without teaching them

    Jennifer sat in the car, with a racing heart. She was excited and anxious at the same time. She was going back home after a long time. She wondered what her nanna would say.Would she be excited to see her? Would she hug her like she always does? An involuntary smile curved her lips as she thought about her reunion with the woman she loved and respected as a mother. She knew she most probably would have to explain a lot. But one thing was certain. Her nanna would be happy to see her happy.Sighing, she glanced outside. She was as excited as a little child who was seeing the passing city lights for the first time. Life had taken an unexpected turn for her. When she was first taken as a prisoner, she had never thought that she would fall for the ruthless Don, who showed no mercy.She chuckled. Who kn

    Todd went to meet Oswald. He didn't know what else to do. He couldn't possibly go anywhere that they could get their hands on. His life was, without a doubt, in danger. His uncle wouldn't spare him.He knew what would happen. They would detect the presence of cyanide and then look for him. When they don't find him, they will check the CCTV footage. What he sees on the footage will take things from bad to worse. Todd was certain that his uncle would kill him as soon as he saw him. He could no longer hide in any place he knew. His uncle would know each of his hideouts and most probably, send his men everywhere to catch him."What happened?" Frowning, Oswald asked as soon as he reached the bar Todd had asked him to go urgently. The place wasn't very popular and was located a good distance away from Frank's mansion. Todd had gone the

    Frank's father sneered from time to time, his eyes glued to the screen. They were in the security room, going through the security footage of the mansion. They couldn't find Todd in the mansion. The security guards at the main gate at that time had seen him leave in his car so Frank and the others had opted to check the security footage."That insolent jerk!" Frank's father growled when he saw Todd emptying the contents of a small bottle into the bottle of wine he had taken from the kitchen cabinet. Everything happened as Jennifer had told them. Barton took the bottle from him and went to do what he was asked to. Jennifer and Frank along with Mike and other men who Frank and his father trusted the most were with them.They saw how he advanced at Jennifer and held her tight, but she managed to escape after kicking him in the crotch.

    "Barton, my good man, I need a little help from you. Take this bottle. And serve Frank. Miss Jennifer had bought this for him and forgotten this bottle here in the kitchen. As you know this is his favourite brand of liquor." Todd handed the bottle to the worker. "Remember, serve this especially to my cousin." Jennifer couldn't believe what she was hearing. She hadn't bought a bottle of liquor for Frank. She couldn't understand what Todd was talking about. After the revealing of her painting, she had gone to the kitchen to look for Ron as she wanted to ask him to serve the food he had prepared. However, she couldn't find Ron. Instead, she found Barton, the worker who was supposed to be in charge of the drinks for the nig

    Todd dashed up the stairs and ran towards his room. His heart frantically beat in his chest. Lentils of sweat dripped down his sideburns. He didn't know Frank was listening to his conversation. He had been extremely careful about his connection with Oswald yet it was ruined with just a phone call.He growled as he picked up a vase on the side table and threw it on the floor. The pieces of ceramics scattered on the marbles with a loud crash. Sneering angrily, he stormed towards the balcony in the room.He didn't bother about the little ceramic pieces that crushed underneath his shoes as he walked over them. He walked towards the railing and grasped the cold metal of the railing with all his might."Damn him!" He grumbled under his breath. Seething in anger, he reached out for the pack of cigarettes in his pocket. After lighting up one of them, he blew a few puffs of smoke into the atmosphere, hoping that it would calm

    Days passed since Mike was told to keep an eye on Todd. He made sure that Todd didn't leave the mansion without his knowledge. He kept watching his every move discreetly. When he didn't notice anything absurd, he started to listen to his phone calls too. However, he saw nothing to be concerned about."What is the news on Todd? Did you find anything I should worry about?" Frank asked Mike on their way to the shed.Shaking his head, "no, boss. Nothing. He doesn't leave the house much. And if he leaves, it usually will be for work in the shed."Mike's reply wasn't satisfactory. Frank was certain that something was odd. They couldn't have known to attack them at that particular restaurant that night unless they were continuously spying on them or unless Todd had informed them about their whereabouts.Frank narrowed his eyes as he recalled how the masked attacker had groped her that night.
