Damn, Gabriel is so heavy. I've always admired his built body, but right now I wish he was less
muscular because it's taking a whole lot from me dragging him to the designated place where Iplan on keeping him so no one walks into the cellar to an unconscious man.If you are wondering where I am keeping him, it is in a secret room and my sweet dad doesn'teven know I know this place. There are so many secrets I know that they will never guessinnocent me would know, because who am I kidding they all think I am the sweet damsel indistress.I finally made it to the door of the secret room with a heavy sigh. God, I am never drugging abulky man ever again. Well unless necessary like right now. I opened the door with the secretpassword, don't get me started on how I know it. This particular door happens to be hiddenwell...you can never know there is a door unless you are being told which is unlikely tohappen....with all the wines sitting on the shelf who would ever guess there's a door behind.I successfully pushed Gabriel inside the room, stripped him of his phone and guns and alsochained him up...just for extra protection...there may be a possibility he might wake up beforetime, after all his Gabriel...right hand to the Don..I wouldn't put it past him.I quickly rush out of the room, lock the door, push back the shelf and run to the table wepreviously occupied...I had to make sure I leave nothing for anyone to suspect. I couldn't affordany mistakes.After settling everything, I turned to leave and before stepping out I made sure to calm myselfdown. I couldn't let anyone think something was wrong with me.I hurried back to my room...although I made it to anyone looking like I was just taking a normalwalk to my room...but in my head I was flash...you couldn't blame me tho I just kidnapped myfathers right hand.As soon as I was in the safety of my room, I shut the door and leaned against it then I let out abreath of relief I didn't know I was holding. God that was tiring.I raced to my bed...took out Gabriel's phone and thank God he didn't even have a password or Iwould have to have wasted extra time hacking his phone. I opened it to see if there's anythingmy father must have sent to him that I needed to know. There was nothing new. perfect.I took my laptop from my bed table, turned it on then switched to the meeting room where I hada little birdie giving me information. My father sits behind his desk deeply in thought...If you don'tlook well you won't notice the crease of worry between his brows...so the fearless Don isworried...not that the old man will ever admit it, He'll rather cut his toes rather than accept suchthing...I don't think anyone even has the guts to ask him ...I can't even imagine how that willgo..."hey Don't you look worried, are you scared"...no the result of that question ishorrible...wouldn't dare.I take Gabriel's phone to make an important call but first I had to log in the voice edit I did onmy laptop to Gabriel's phone...I have a record of Gabriel's voice, then I programmed it in mylaptop all I have to do is set it in his phone so that whatever word I speak will come out inGabriel's voice...am smart I know right.After setting everything in Gabriel's phone...I went to his contact list to call my dad because itwas time for Gabriel to leave so he can make sure nothing goes wrong...so from the time heleaves the house he is expected to call my dad to inform him about his departure.I dialed my dad's number...he answered on the third ring...typical thing he will do...he pickedwithout saying a word...Hello da...don, damn I caught myself before I made that horrible mistakeof calling the don dad then leaving him wondering why his right hand man would call himdad...shit that would have been terrible."Don"...I repeated again..I just want to let you know everything is set and i will be moving outnow.""Am counting on you Gab...don't disappoint me..you know how this is important to us, onesimple mistake and it war...no mistake.""Yes don" I replied..the line went dead...suddenly I felt overwhelmed...the seriousness in mydad's voice made my courage shake a little...but I was far into it to turn back...there's no turningback now...no time for second thoughts or regret...if anything I feel more determined.determination flows through me like blood in my veins, like an enchantment calling me to it.I had to get this right, no mistakes like my father said. Not even a tiny slip up. I moved into mybathroom to have a quick shower. I needed to calm my nerves...with the way my blood ispumping in my veins, I might blow up soon and I need to be in my right mind to be able to carryout this mission.I let the cold water slide down my body and somehow it calms my nerves down...I can do this..Itell myself repeatedly...I can do this. I am a strong woman and I will prove it. I will prove to myfather I am not that scared little girl anymore, that girl he can't let leave the house withoutbodyguards.I'll show him...I'll show them I'm more than what they see and think of me. He might be madabout my decision but this is the best decision I've made in my life and the one I am mostcertain of.I walked out of my bathroom feeling relieve wash through me. I walked to my closet to geteverything ready. I put the outfit I've put aside for this particular mission into my bag...the outfitgives me the killer girl vibes...i put the guns i'll be needing and other necessary tools..afterarranging everything I needed for my little mission. I picked a simple top and jeans to put on...Icouldn't go out dressed like an assassin. I wouldn't hear the end of it.After making sure everything is ready I keep my bag aside then walk out of my room to find mydad. I found him in his office staring seriously at his computer. "Dad I need to talk to you"...."What is itprincess"...he asked.. I rolled my eyes at the nickname because it just reminded me that I ambeing treated as one..no offense tho because if you check I am the Mafia princess but am nottreated as one but rather am treated as a Disney princess..so annoying. If my dad saw that I justrolled my eyes at him, he'd be giving me an earf
Making sure no one was in sight, I made my way further to look for somewhere to setup, I hadto stay hidden, couldn't afford to be seen. This mission meant a lot to me, I couldn't fuck it up.I was sneaking around like a crazy ninja when I heard a sound, quickly, I hid behind a pillar withheld breath as one of the staff passed with clean sheets neatly folded on her hands. Releasingthe breath I was holding I continue on my way...I had to hurry up because soon people wouldstart showing up for the ball. After searching for fifteen more minutes I decided that the safest place where I wouldn't be seenis somewhere above, so with that in mind i began the climb back into the ceiling....successfullyclimbing up, I situated myself where i could see everything from my position. From where I was,I could see the stage clearly and by the time people start flocking in, I'll be able to spot anyonefrom here. Just perfect. Setting my gun and putting the silencer. I plug in my earphones because
I Am very sure I misheard him, did he say fire or fly high because I am sure I heard fly high andnot fire. You got to be kidding me."Boss what are you waiting for...fire before we miss the chance and it get hard to get him" thatannoying voice said again. What is wrong with me? I came here for that right why am I wasting time...I have to set mypriorities straight and right now it to blow the mother fuckers head. With that in mind, Irepositioned the gun back to my beloved target.You can do this...it easy just hold the gun, aim correctly at your target, make sure your aim isright, just close your eyes... Wait what close my eyes...yes eyes closed, hold the trigger and...pull it, pull it you pig head...pull the trigger and fire! I did it! I pulled the damn trigger, that wasn't so hard was it?.... Only when I opened my eyes and looked down did I realize the body I expected to be downwasn't down but was rather hovering over the man that stood next to him few minutes ago....WHAT T
I successfully jumped down, quickly cutting the rope, I picked my bag that fell off me while I landed unceremoniously. I was about to make a run for it when I heard a voice say "hey you stop right there"....I didn't have the energy for a repeat of what happened inside some minutes ago, so before even thinking I shot him. She how shooting people seem easy for me now, I wish it was the case when I was meant to hit the main target. Knowing that one of the obstacle to my escape is down, I continue on my way...my lucky star was working because this side of the building happened to be very dark. Making my way quickly and as quietly as I could, it seems that quickly and quietly has been my way today, what a life. Looking left and right with my breath held, I noticed few men just in the distance, I had to hurry up. Changing quickly from the outfit I was wearing to regular jeans and top, I put the cloth in my bag and made my way out...I held my bag then continue forward, for someone who is in
I jerked awake breathing heavily as I looked to my left and right releasing I was still in the airplane. That had to be the most horrible dream I've had. It felt so real, like I was really in a cell with someone telling how he'll soon find me. Breathing out a sigh of relief, I put my head between my hands, I just couldn't explain how relieved I am that it was just a nightmare. Leaning my head back on the chair, I let a breath through my mouth. After few more hours of flying, we finally made it to London. I had to pick London for a reason and besides I was catching another flight early next morning. I knew soon enough my dad would realize what I did and would have a search party looking for me, so my save route is to come to London, then rest for the night, tomorrow morning I'll be on my way to a different country. A lot of people knew me in NewYork airport, it would take just a few calls to find me. I couldn't risk that. I went to take my bag and complete the other necessary thing
Somewhere In The Santiago's Mansion...."So you're telling me my daughter, drugged you, stripped you of your phone and guns, had you chained, robbed you of the job I specifically gave you, all by herself and you stand in front of me to tell me you are sorry, I give you one simple job and you come up with this shit story of my daughter, can you even hear yourself, what were you fucking doing with my daughter?" Don Santiago boomed in anger, he was beyond angry, if it were any other person that was standing in front of him telling him this shit story, that person would be long dead.He didn't want to believe all he was hearing, his daughter was too innocent to think of something like that, could it be that Gabriel messed up the job then hurt his daughter just to put all the blames on her.He was sure Gabriel wouldn't dare, but at this moment he didn't know what he was sure of, first his daughter was missing with no trace of her, it's either she ran away or she was hurt. He couldn't think
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
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
