The drive to Creekwood was long and quiet. As the car sped on the road, I looked out of the windows and I was lost in thought. I replayed the plan in my head over and over again. We had made some rooms for expected and unexpected errors. This was my final opportunity to grab what was mine and I couldn’t afford to make any mistakes.‘’What’s on your mind?’’I turned away from the window. Lorenz was seated beside me, dressed in black polo shirt and grey pants. He had his hair tinted blonde and a pair of dark shades. His disguise is pretty good and he looked so handsome that it made me feel good just looking at him.‘’A lot, Lorenz,’’ I said. ‘’This is the night I either make it or it’s over.’’He held my hand and squeezed it. ‘’We’ll make it.’’In the dark, I could see his eyes resting on my qamis. It was a fitted, long sleeved arabian top, normally worn under a robe. I was disguised as an Arabian prostitute, so I was wearing it as a top alone. The qamis is so light that I can

With forty five minutes on the clock, I estimated we had just five to ten more minutes to interrogate this man and move in. my heart was racing and my head was screaming ‘Danger’ but I ignored it all.‘’How do we get in?’’ I asked him. ‘’And don’t you dare play smart with me.’’‘’The main entrance is at the east side of the building,’’ he said. ‘’But it is heavily guarded. The men on duty know me, and they’d easily know it’s not me if you plan to go in my uniform.’’ he looked at Lorenz.‘’Not the main entrance,’’ I said. ‘’There has to be another entrance.’’His eyes flickered to me. ‘’There’s a side door, usually locked. It’s where we take out the trash. I can go through another entrance and open it from within,’’ he said. ‘’There are cameras there too, and the security person reviews them from time to time.’’I wasn't comfortable; with depending on this snitch of a guard for a mission so important. ‘’How do we know you won’t get there and run your mouth to the guards, huh?’

< Oli >Everything i owned in the apartment that was going with me to Palmero fitted into a backpack. I looked at it, hovering over it with my hands on my waist and sighed. I wished i would be able to stay for just a few more weeks, even days. I needed to see david again. I had some questions I needed to ask him. The meeting that evening had been so unexpected that we didn’t get the time to talk about things.I walked up to the mirror in the room and looked at my face longer than I had allowed myself in years. My fingers ran on my face and I sighed. Memories of Uganda came flooding in.—The plane touched down on the runaway and I felt a jolt of adrenaline through my body. I looked out of the window and watched as we sped past structures until we came to a halt.The voice over the PA sounded again, causing me to look away from the window. ‘’Lad

The lab? Those words sent chills down my spine.‘’What do you mean?’’ I asked but they had moved forward and the women behind were pushing me to move forward too. I turned back to look at Lorenz, but he was not looking at me. He was with another guard, discussing. I needed to make contact with him. Something was wrong.The crowd pushed forward and I stepped outside the warehouse. Cold air hit my face as I stumbled out and tried to keep myself on my feet. The compound was lit now with two powerful headlamps. I squinted my eyes and saw two trucks in front of us. The trucks were partially filled with crates containing drinks. There was another cluster of women on the opposite side, dressed up better than the women in my group. I realised then that we had entered the wrong room.Marcello ran an organ harvesting syndicate. I had heard whispers about it but tonight confirmed it. The woman had said we were being sent to a lab. My body shook with fear. There was no way I was going wi

I opened my eyes slowly, and groaned suddenly. I felt an intense sharp headache. The lights were too bright and I shut my eyes again. I was vaguely aware of something wrapped around my head. I lifted my arm to my head and felt it. I tried to open my eyes again. Slowly. My eyes adjusted to the bright light for a moment and then the light dimmed suddenly.‘’Too bright?’’ I turned my head gently towards the owner of the voice and I saw him hover over my field of vision. It was Nile. I parted my lips gently, trying to produce some words. They felt dry and my tongue felt heavy.‘’Nile?’’ He moved closer and I felt him grab my hand. ‘’You just had surgery, Zion,’’ he said, squeezing it.Surgery. I became aware of the mask over my nose and the line in my hand. ‘’What happened?’’ I asked. My voice was hoarse and came out as a whisper. A hoarse whisper.‘’You were hit on the head. Do you remember that?’’Images from the previous evening flashed in my eyes. I remembered the man in bl

The news of Rory’s victory reached my ears in the early morning of the following day. It was about 4 am when she had driven a knife into Marcello’s heart. He died on his bed. I hugged my pillow and screamed in delight. We had done it. Even though I was not there in person, I had played a significant role in the restoration of Rory Morano to the Morano empire, and it was going to go down in history. It was going to be in everyone’s lips. I was going to be seen as the strong and merciless mafia princess I wanted to be perceived as.I could hardly sleep a wink after that. I laid in bed, awake. The thoughts of loneliness and betrayal were gone. Rory and I were going to be sisters. Things were going to fall into place gradually. Bree was away for her college exams so I couldn't squeal about it to her. Byron wasn’t just Bree. Rory was in the mansion that morning. After killing Marcello, the men had surrendered to her as the new Don. She had moved from a weakling to a powerful a

Lorenz was not my favorite person but working with him in this mission and listening to how he had saved Rory, he was beginning to warm up to me. So the news of his death gave me an unexpected blow. I held her hand and squeezed it. I knew they also had some sort of romantic relationship going on.‘’They burnt his body after that,’’ she said, sniffing her nose. ‘’I don’t even have his body to hold, raven.’’‘’I’m so sorry,’’ I said, lacking the right words to say. I tried to imagine if the same had been done to Zion while he was trying to help me. I let out a deep sigh.‘’I sentenced them to a slow and painful death, Raven. Was it too much?’’I shook my head. ‘’No.’’We sat in silence for a few minutes. The death of Lorenz had made this a pyrrhic victory and it had stained such a glorious day, especially for Rory. ‘’When did you find out?’’‘’After I killed Marcello. I tried reaching him but couldn’t. Then I heard the rumors..’’ Her voice broke. I squeezed her hand. ‘’It

I woke up before my alarm today again and I just laid in bed, my thoughts floating about me. I had dreamt of Nakku. I saw her, her small fingers wrapped around mine and her curly black hair. A tear rolled down from my eyes and joined the pool of tears that had soaked my pillow over the night. Could I actually say I woke up if I hadn't slept at all?I stared at the ceiling for another few minutes, refusing to let my thoughts return to that time six years ago. I studied the edge of the curves on the ceiling. I watched the spider crawling over to one end and I noted the patterns of stains on the white paint. I needed to find David.With some effort, I pulled myself out of bed. I had to find David. It would be the last thing I did before I returned to Palmero. I skipped workout that morning, and had coffee with two slices of bread. I pulled a grey hoodie over my head and a pair of jean slacks. Looking for him was like going on a wild goose chase but I was willing to give it a tr

My worst fears were beginning to happen. I realised now that saying I had gone to get food was such a bad story. What kind of bodyguard left their ward for two hours in search of food in a strange city?‘’Huh?’’ he asked again, raising his brows. He looked furious. ‘’Is this a plan to destroy whatever alliance we may want with da Vinci? Who are you working with?’’The questions came out in a flurry of words and I was surprised to see the angle with which he was viewing the whole affair. He thought this was a mission to sabotage, that I had planned the kidnap of Bree. I wasn't sure if it was a relief or not.‘’And why did you wait so long before you informed us?’’He stood erect and began to pace. Midway, he turned towards me and a heavy slap landed on my face. It stung to my feet and my hands flew to my face in reaction.‘’When I ask you a question, you respond. Do you understand?’’I was outnumbered. There was no way I could react. I thought of the prosthetic nose. If it

Her phone was unreachable. I paced back and forth in front of the lobby, anger and worry boiling within me. Where could she have run off to without telling me? Why was her phone unreachable? I glanced at my watch. It was just fifteen minutes to the wedding. If we don’t show up, there would be questions. If I showed up without her, there would be questions too.I rubbed off some dust on my forearm as I approached the front desk again.‘’I’m unable to reach her,’’ I said in English. ‘’Can I check the CCTV camera? Maybe someone picked her or something. We don’t know anyone here.’’The woman looked at me blankly and for a second I thought she probably did not understand English. ‘’Give me a moment,’’ she replied in English with a heavy accent.I drummed on the counter as I watched her walk to one of her colleagues. They spoke for a while and I could see them looking at me and shaking their heads. She made a sign that she was going to consult someone else and she disappeared d

I watched him walk away. I wasn’t sure who he was. I had never met him before.‘’Is that a problem?’’ Bree asked, watching me. I could hear the panic in her voice and I was beginning to regret telling her what I had noticed.‘’I don’t think so. We just need to know they know we’re armed.’’Deciding to have the wedding on a yacht instead of the family house seemed strategic to me. We were far away from where I could get vital information I came all the way for. The only way out of this predicament was to slip away in the middle of the party without raising suspicion. But that would be hard to do since we had a marked table.I picked the glass of champagne and emptied half of it in the vase quickly. Bree raised her brows. I said nothing.Half an hour into the event, I knew all was not well. The wedding had not started. I could see the look of concern on the faces of the women, the hushed whispers and the going back and forths. Perhaps Natalia had escaped just as she had thre

I watched her face twitch with concern as she looked at the photo. I wasn’t sure what was wrong but she seemed quite concerned.‘’Do you know the name of this guy she is getting married to?’’ she asked finally, raising her head from the screen.I shook my head. ‘’No. But i heard he’s like a distant cousin.’’The Bravta guys had done it before. In fact, I had heard there was a time one of the Dons married his sister. It was hard to believe that something like that could be happening in the twentieth century.She furrowed her brows again and looked at the photo before stretching the phone back to me.‘’Is there any problem?’’ I asked. ‘’It seemed as though you know him or something.’’She shook her head and pulled the duvet over her head. With Octavia, it was best to just trust her blindly. It was one of the few things I was learning with her. Whenever she didn’t want to give information about something, it was for the best. I looked at the photo one more time before responding

Our flight was going to be long. We would spend about twelve hours on air, including two connecting flights. Bree wanted to stay beside the window, so I sat on the aisle seat. It was my first time on a plane. Bree said she had only flown out once, to visit a particular favourite aunt in the United States.‘’Does mum know?’’ she asked suddenly, turning her head away from the window.‘’That we’re going alone?’’She nodded.‘’No,’’ I said. ‘’No one knows except you, me, Aaron and dad.’’She nodded and faced the window again. It was Friday morning at about 7am, when our flight took off. We hoped to be in Moscow by 7pm. Then check into a hotel for the night. Bree had mentioned that Natalia had prepared a room for us in the house. I was skeptical about it. The room could be bugged and they could be monitoring us throughout the night. As much as this journey was an opportunity for me to get intel on the Bratva operations, they could also be planning to get information from us too

I found myself replaying the scene in my head as we went back home. What did he mean by my past being closer than ever? I didn’t want anyone in my past back in my life anymore. Everyone there used me and caused me pain. I twisted my fingers and looked out of the window as the car sped along the road. Perhaps , he was mistaken. But I remembered the dead stare in his eyes and I felt chills run down my spine. Something was coming from my past and I had to prepare for it.I fuelled this fear into anger and pushed my body even harder. If this person was Axel, he would not meet a weak Octavia. Or it was the Giovannis. I was prepared to take them down, one after the other. But I had to handle the Russian mission first. I gulped down a large bottle of water and wiped the sweat on my forehead. It was just a few days before our trip. Bree was getting really good at precision and her defense game was getting impressive. I watched her rocking gently on the mat. We had just finished a

< Octavia >The bullet went right through the centre of the target. I looked at it again and smiled.‘’Great job, Bree. That was unbelievable.’’She seemed to be shocked at her own victory too. She pulled off the ear muffs and aimed the empty gun at the target again.‘’Good job,’’ Aaron said, joining us. ‘’Better luck next time.’’Bree frowned at him. I could tell she was upset. ‘’That wasn’t luck!’’ she yelled.‘’You’re suddenly an expert after one good shot?’’ Aaron remarked.She started to say something but I cut her short. She was being unnecessary temperamental. She would know Aaron too well than to take his sly remarks to heart.‘’Come and take a break, Bree,&rsquo

There was a loud crash as the bullet hit the target. I saw her move an inch backward with the recoil of the pistol. She looked at me and nodded at me encouragingly. I pulled the earmuffs over my ears and secured them tightly. I raised my rifle. It was a bit heavier than I had imagined. Eye level. Aaron watched mee quietly. I was sweating and his presence beside me was not doing me any good. It was the first time we would be so close to each other after the kiss I had stolen from him. I couldn’t tell if he was mad at me or not. I wasn’t even sure he remembered.‘’Too high,’’ he said, lowering my hand. My skin brushed against his hairy arms and I felt goosebumps crawl all over my body. He enveloped my arm with his and wrapped my shoulder within his body, positioning me correctly.‘’Your dominant eye at the target,’’ he said. He was so close to me that I could hear his breathing despite the ear muffs.‘’Feet apart,’’ Ocatvia called out. I nodded.I stared at the target ahead a

I decided to visit the house the following day. Iit was too late to show up at the house that very day and even though the following day was not the last Saturday of the month, I had a convincing story to tell.I used the rest of the day to get the exact uniform of the workers and learn a little about the company’s mode of operation in case I needed the information. I returned home, tired and hungry. I fed on some leftover sandwiches and hit the bed. It was 2 am when I woke up. I laid in bed for minutes, my eyes hovering over the ceiling, the crack lines and the rotating blades of the ceiling fan. I got up from the bed thirty minutes later to prepare for the day. I had a busy day ahead of me and I had to make sure I executed my plans correctly.—9 am. I watched from a distance as David’s car eased out of the house and cruised down the road. I waited for five minutes before I came out of my hiding place and approached the gate. I tapped on it gently and waited for the respons
