I didn't know how I was going to face the Don, how do I face him to tell him his own daughter was in London now hidden away somewhere we do not know.I decided that before I at least face the Don and maybe not make it out alive, I needed to know how Cara knew about absolutely everything we were planning, at least I'll die knowing I wasn't the only one that was played.With that in mind, I made my way to my room. As I got inside I made sure to lock the door, I didn't want to be disturbed. I took out the keys from the box as I opened the drawer where I kept the laptop, taking it out, I put it on as I again wait for it boot, it came up again with an indication showing I had to unlock with a code, now I needed to think of what possible password Cara could use. I would have given it to one of the computer freaks we had working with us, it wouldn't take them time to break what ever wall she had put up. But I didn't know how the Don would take it with me snooping around his daughter's room.
Don Dante LorenzoI am a hundred percent sure that that bullet was meant for me and not Marcus, he just happened to be at the wrong spot and at the wrong time, it was obvious, I know a lot of people know how I value my right hand man, he is a brother to me, hitting him is like hitting me, but am no weakling, I don't cry, I don't feel pain, it's not for me, but that night I felt it, the pain of losing someone dear to you, that kind of pain.He had always stood by my side, but now I stand alone, for him I will get justice, that shooter aimed at the wrong person, and signed his own death, I will make sure I get to the root of this, even if it's the last thing I do. I am not called ruthless for nothing, I am not feared for just my name, many people who have suffered my punishment and lived to tell the tale know what am capable of.So for Marcus life, I'll take a thousanduntil I get the justice he deserves.I made my way to the dungeon because I had unfinished business to deal with, someb
It been two days since I ran away from New York. Since then it felt like I've been watched continuously, you know that feeling of having someone's eyes on you but when you turn around you find absolutely no one, it has been like that, I know there is a possibility I'll be caught one day, but I don't intend to make it soon. I will make sure that I frustrate them before they can ever find me and I'll do it all by myself.I know I was being too paranoid, I didn't even know if they've found out who was behind everything that happened that night, I have just been living on the maybe, maybe not idea.At one point I was beginning to wonder if maybe I would have killed Gabriel and let him die with my secret, but as soon as that thought came I wiped it away from my mind, I knew that killing him wouldn't do any good, after all nothing can stay behind forever, I'll just live with guilt and more years of hidden secrets.I've been staying in a hotel I found in Sydney, It not the kind of life am use
Just because I said I needed a cheap place to stay didn't mean I wanted to stay in a rundown house with a leaking roof and a street full of crazy drunk men, there's no way anyone is going to reduce me to that.I found a few houses online so I decided to pick a house agent and so far he hasn't done a good job of finding a place for me to stay.I was already exhausted after all the house hunting I just wanted to rest for today, but my agent assured me that we still had one more place to check before we called it a day, he was sure I was going to like the place.I would have argued with him but I didn't have the energy for that instead I followed him as we drove to our next location, reaching there I looked around and found the place a lot better than the previous ones we've checked, only from the environment I already liked it, he was correct when he said I'll like it.He led the way as I followed closely behind him, the place was just perfect, it didn't look anything expensive, didn't
"STOP!"I heard the guy I was just sitting inside the diner say, but I ignored him and again went to enter inside the taxi, he was giving me bad vibes and I didn't want anything to do with him.But as I go to close the door, he stopped me, "hey, hey, you seem to be running from me, but I don't think something of yours wanted to depart from me," he said while I stare at him in confusion, what does he mean?Seeing my confusion I watch as he brought the hand that he kept behind him dangling my purse in front of me...." hey gimme that, that's my purse," I said as I reached to snatch the purse from him but he pulled back,..... "ma'am are you going or not?" I heard the driver ask....turning to him I said "am sorry Mr please you'll have to go, am sorry for wasting your time,""No problem ma'am," he said as he drove away.I turned back to the annoying man who held my purse, " what is wrong with you? you found my purse and like a gentleman would do, you couldn't quietly return it, I said to hi
After Mathew finally decided to leave, I made myself dinner. I took my food to the sitting room putting on my laptop I turned to Netflix to find something interesting to watch, I choose the movie called "the unforgivable," a story about a woman who got released from prison after a long time for a crime she committed, but is rejected by society because of her past, reading the short intro I kinda compared her with myself, only that she committed a crime against a society whereas I committed a crime against the mafia Don, but what makes us similar is that those we offended have decided to see our crimes as "the unforgivable,".....how ironic.I suddenly lost my interest in watching any movie as I rather focused on finishing my food. After eating my food though I didn't finish it, I took the plate to the kitchen, washing and drying it I kept it back in place.I went to my room had my bath and prepare myself for bed, it was cold, luckily I was able to order a bedspread from a cheap online
As I stepped out of the dressing room I saw Matthew standing with his back facing me as he put his hands in his pocket rocking his heels, "are we going or not? I asked to get his attention, and just as expected, he turned to me, it felt like I physically saw his eyes fall out of his socket, the first thing that had to come out of the idiot's mouth is "will you marry me?" I couldn't control it as I burst into laughter, if not for my dress I would have sat on the floor,When my laughter finally calmed down I turned to him to see him smiling at me, "you know you look good but something was missing and I had to get it, you were frowning so you weren't fully dressed, and had to get a smile," he said,...cheesy I thought to myself.He bent his elbow for me to put mine but I just rolled my eyes and walked away, I heard him laugh before he followed behind me, we got into the car and drove off, we still had time to get to the party before it started, the time was showing 6:30 pm.We arrived at
Dante Lorenzo"You are telling me a whole week has gone and you haven't been able to find a single woman, are you trying to tell me that she is smarter than you all put together, you incompetent fools," Dante said as he threw everything in front of him on the ground, one single woman and his idiot men couldn't find her, he'll have to take matters into his own hands,"Bring me every footage you got from the hotel and get your incompetent selves out of my face," he said in anger, he couldn't believe he always thought he had the best men, but right now he was rethinking that belief, he gave them a week, and they couldn't give him any reasonable information, all they could tell him is that they haven't been able to recognize the face, what a waste.All the footages was brought to me and I settled in my office to watch them carefully, I had a glass of whiskey in my hand as I focus on the screen, the first footage was just a short clip of her turning her face but revealed nothing as her fac
Just as he was about to stab my fingers, Mathew hit him in the head and I didn't waste time. I took a dagger from the table and plunged it into his heart and the man's eyes went round, surprised at the turn of events. “ I warned you," I said with satisfaction before the man fell to his knees and then he fell facing his side with a thud and I just moved back. “ Mathew," I said in relief as I ran to him and hugged him. “ You're burning up, let's go sit down," I said as I held his hand and we walked to the corner of the room and sat down. “ We have to look for a way to get out of this fucking place," he said with a groan as he rubbed his head. I really don't know what to do right now, these people didn't give two shits about what happens to us and right now Matthew was getting sick. I don't know what they must have done to me. “ You'll be alright, we'll surely find our way out of here," I sounded like I was actually trying to convince myself rather than him. “ There has to be…” I p
“ What is it?" The Don asked, his voice sharp and piercing like he was promising death if what he had to say wasn't worth his time.“ We know where Miss Cara is,” he said and for a minute the room became quiet like everyone was trying to process his words.“ Where is she?" The Don asked, breaking the silence as Angelo walked to him and dropped the laptop in front of him and I quickly got up from my chair to see what he had to show. “ According to one of our sources, Dante, brought in two people to one of his warehouses, a man and a woman and he was able to identify the woman as your daughter.” Angelo said."Then what are we waiting for? We have to get my daughter from that man because believe me if he does anything to hurt my daughter all hell is going to break loose,” The Don said and immediately we all took our seats so we could discuss a plan that would help us rescue Cara without any casualties. Because the Don wasn't joking when he said if anything were to happen to her hell wo
For some minutes it felt like my ears were ringing as everything my mother just said came rushing back in my head. She never really loved me, she wanted to kill me. All because of what? Could I really believe the story she was telling me? Life could be funny sometimes, imagine the woman I spent years crying over, missing her every single day thinking that she was dead. Never did I know she has been wandering this earth planning her revenge.“ Hey, hey," I heard Matthew's voice bringing me out of my thoughts.“ She's not worth it, believe me, don't let her bother you, the only thing we should be concerned about is how to get out of this hell hole, don't think too much," Matthew said and I nodded. He drew me to his chest as his arms protectively wrapped around me.“ Everything will be alright Shorty, everything will be fine," he said, dropping a kiss on my head. It didn't seem to me like things will be alright. I felt like I've been lied to all my life and I was scared to find out who
Matthew!!!Just in time before the knife could reach Matthew, I hit the button just below him. I didn't even notice there was one before, it just happened at the last minute, and it was a fifty fifty decision. How the idea to hit that button came is beyond me, but I just knew something told me to try. The bastards knew what they were doing when they told me to pull out the knife or my friend dies at the given time, they just wanted to keep me occupied with trying to to pull out the knife from it hold rather than try to look for a way to free Matthew from his chains, they were just playing me, they knew I didn't have enough time to figure out how to remove the knife, my focus should have been on freeing Matthew from his chains before the time up. Matthew tried to catch his breath and I could just imagine what was going on in his mind, I just couldn't believe I was mere seconds from losing my best friend and it was right before my eyes but luckily I could do something about it. Those
It's your mother.I looked at Matthew in shock, I didn't understand what I just heard."I understand that we were supposed to do some finding on her before we found ourselves in this mess, so how did she end up here?" I asked him in confusion,"That I cannot answer, but what I have to say is that your intuition was right all along, she was just pretending not to know you, she's was planning something all along" he said as he flexed his jaw, "those cowards practically used me as their punching bag, bunch of morons,""Am really confused Att, why do you think she's working with him, what is she aiming at?.....This also means he already knows my father is the Mexican Don, the more reason for him to keep me, am sure he thinks my father sent me," I said as I exhale in exhaustion, am so hungry, now am thinking back to all the times I've deliberately not eaten even though food was just in front of me, I was currently facing "appreciate what you have till you have it no more."At least I had
I think as I saw the man in front of me no matter how strong I've been holding up my facade grumbled a little, as I felt tears gathered in my eyes, I wasn't wrong when I said addressing him as Dante was too human a name to call him, evil beast was just perfect.The man in front of me, the only man who had shown me what having a real friend felt like, the one man I promised not to get involved in my mess was laying on the ground in front of me, his beautiful blonde hair a mess,Matthew didn't deserve this, I was the enemy not Matthew, he could do what ever he wanted to do to me, but he should count Matthew out of this, if I had been a good friend I would have tried every means possible to reach him, all these while I just concluded that he was busy with work, I should have known that something was wrong, but like the stupid friend I was, I didn't notice, how can I call myself a friend, Matthew was my family, he became a shoulder for me to lean on, never letting a tear drop from my ey
I was a trembling mess inside but there was no way I was going to show that, I would keep my sass till I die, I wouldn't die a scared cow,"Why don't you go ahead and start the fire?" I asked, that was a stupid thing to even say, but I wasn't even thinking at the moment so am not sure what was even coming out of my mouth,I suddenly felt a tight grip on my jaw, it hurt as hell coupled with my uncomfortable position,..."I didn't come here to have a chit chat with you, so mind what you say, the reason I haven't granted your wish is because I see that as being merciful to you, so watch your tongue or I might as well take it off your mouth and send you to hell," he threatened, you can say I've lost all sanity because after being warned not to talk I still opened my mouth to speak,"Not like I wanted to have a chit chat with you, if you had just died like you were supposed to, we wouldn't be here right now," I said, I think I striked a nerve with that because I heard him give an order to s
I haven't heard any news from Matthew in three days, I wanted to worry but told myself that perhaps he was just very busy, there's isn't a day we don't speak to each other, but when I called his brother Derek he told me he haven't heard from him too, he told me it was normal because sometimes when the work load get too much for him, he takes some days away from everyone and everything that could distract him and until he was done with his work he wouldn't come out.I took the day off from work because I caught a cold and didn't want to be sneezing around at work, I'll just chase all the customers away.Since the day I met my mother at the grocery store, I haven't been able to go back to buy the remaining things I couldn't get, I wasn't even in the mood to go shopping, I just needed fresh air, I think the beach would do me good.I went inside my room to get myself ready as I packed everything I would be needing for the beach, my swim suit and mat to lay on, I also packed some snacks,
"Don we have him,"That message was enough to take me back to sleep as I couldn't wait to return back to Italy, each day was drawing closer to when Cara would finally pay for what she did.The next morning, I woke up and got myself ready as I instructed Marshall to tell the pilot to get the jet ready, my business here was already settled, I have to take care of other things.We got on the plane as we flew back heading to Italy."When did they bring him in?" I asked Marshall,........."yesterday morning sir," he said to me as he adjusted his seat belt.Yesterday morning, which means he had spent a day with my men already, I wonder if they already know he is missing, but I guess not, the asshole has a crazy work schedule that when he disappears for days they all think he has taken time of to finish his pending work, they need not worry though, he is safe with me.When we arrived Italy, we drove straight to my warehouse and again I head to the dungeon, well I call it that, what do you cal
