< 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

‘’We’ve run out of eggs,’’ Jay said.I looked up from my laptop.‘’And milk too,’’ he added, flipping the tin upside down.He had informed us about two days ago that our egg supplier was out of town and we were also running out of milk. But I had been so engrossed by a lot of things in the last forty eight hours that I kept forgetting to take action. I had not heard from Zion yet and occasionally I thought of the heated exchange I had with Octavia. I played the scenarios a couple of times in my head, and in each one, we ended up making up.‘’I’ll get a new supplier today, Jay. And please, draw up the supplies we need so i can go to the grocery store.’’I turned my head away and looked over at the lounge area. The seat remained empty today again.‘’She hasn’t been here since she left two days ago,’’ I said.He knew who I was talking about and he looked at the spot she used to sit. ‘’Maybe she got bored?’’ he said, mixing some batter. Or she was a spy all along. I had found it

< Octavia >It had started like almost every other morning at the mansion. I had breakfast in my room, took a hot shower, trained a little and returned back for a cold shower. Then I spent the rest of the morning reading books and online sources about the Russian mafias. I was swinging gently in my hammock, enjoying the way it enveloped my body softly. The sun was high up in the sky and rays from it landed on my skin and the book in my hands.It was a leather- bound book with yellow pages. I could tell the book had been written way before any of us in the mansion was born. I glanced up from the book occasionally to look out of the window. The garden was just within my view and I enjoyed the sound of the birds chirping. I had a couple of pictures of the garden from my room and it was such an excellent view.Along the garden, there is a pathway that leads from the front of the house to the back. I had used that

‘’Who are you?’’Lucas Conti. I smiled. Who would have thought I would meet one of the world’s billionaires and a rumored womaniser today. It was such a shame that I was smelling like sardine, but I could still do something with what I had.I dropped the photo in my hand and walked towards him, slowly and seductively. I stretched my hands towards him.‘’Grace Miller. I’m waiting for the manager.’’He took my hands and I held his eyes. Seducing men was not something that needed the right time if one was an expert. I rubbed my finger on his hand and I made the handshake linger for just the right amount of time.‘’Grace,’’ he said, the tone of his voice dropping to familiar levels. ‘’Are you a guest in our hotel?’‘’Well,’’ I said. ‘’I could be your guest.’’His face broke into a smile. I had him charmed. The manager stepped in just then. Wrong timing. I mean, he could have remained lost in his quest for water.‘’Good afternoon, sir,’’ he stammered. ‘’I wasn’t aware you were aro

I closed my eyes as we moved farther and farther away from the mansion. The roaring sound of the motor bikes did not help the turmoil I felt inside. I was leaving everything I had worked so hard for in the last few years. But i was not accepting defeat yet. I would be back.I will come back for my son. For what is mine and give everyone what is due.Diego had succeeded in killing most of the men that were loyal to me, and even as I sat on the bike clutching myself, I wasn't sure who was for me anymore. It was a big risk I was taking and I hoped it would be worth it all. For the sake of those who had died on the path to my ambition. For Lorenz’s sake.I reach for my thigh, tapping it. The pressure of the knife against my skin reminded me that I was not unarmed. We were leaving the city. I was being taken to a neighbouring town a few hours from Palmero. There I would stay under the radar, until Diego was gotten rid of. I would also try to make the necessary liaison with all the

My phone was buzzing in my pocket continuously. I had placed it on DND, so the call had to have been persistent for it to be vibrating in my pocket. I glanced at the large screen and then at Lucas who was seated on the seat just beside the investors. He smiled encouragingly at me. Today was the big day. The day I presented our beautiful project.He said it was just for formalities. The people who mattered had seen the presentation privately and they loved it. I was still nervous though and the continuous vibrations in my pocket were compounding it.The presentation was over in twenty minutes. The smiles on their faces and the warm and firm handshakes told me all I needed to know.Lucas slapped my shoulders warmly. ‘’You did good. I was impressed. This calls for some wine.’’We were going to get featured on the front pages of the business papers and on the headlines of the business news. It was finally an opportunity to prove to Nile and my father that I could make a meaningfu

Before I could scream, I heard hurried footsteps approaching the room and the door flung open instantly.‘’It’s urgent,’’ the first man said. I could see what he couldn’t say in his eyes.I pointed at the monitor. ‘’Get the doctor here fast.’’Two of them hurried out of the room. ‘’The doctor is trying to save your father,’’ the first man said.‘’Save? What happened?’’‘’He went into cardiac arrest.’’I felt blood seeping out of my head and I swooned. He caught me just in time. The nurse was arriving as I was being held.‘’The monitor,’’ I said to her. She hurried to his side, and I was ushered out of the room. That feeling of desolation overpowered me once again. I had not felt that since I left Axel’s whore house, but now I was at the brink of losing everything I cherished.When I got to father’s room, I stood outside observing through the door as the doctor tried to revive his heart with the defibrillator. I clenched my hand into a fist. What had gone wrong? Someone had

I watched her face turn pale as she read the report in her hand. ‘’Is this real?’’ She looked up at me.I nodded. ‘’I don’t think he knows.’’A sad smile spread on her face. ‘’What a horrible way to finally find your brother, Octavia. I mean, we all thought he died in the fire. Same way we thought you did.’’There was a knock on the door and we quickly put the document away. ‘’Come in,’’ aunt Elena said. I had been sleeping in her room since the incident the previous day.A maid walked in. “Good morning, ma’am,’’ she said. ‘’Did you sleep well?’’‘’I did.’’It was the maid who looked after her room. ‘’I came to ask if you needed anything this morning, ma’am.’’‘’Not at all,’’ she responded.‘’Coffee?’’‘’That’s fine.’’I waited until she was gone for a minute before I spoke. ‘’We can’t trust any of the new staff right now. They were all employed by Rory, and we don’t know who is with her or not.’’‘’Rory needs to be arrested, and made to confess.’’I nodded in agreement. W

She didn’t budge. She remained calm and determined. ‘’You are trying to save the life of a man that should have been killed on the spot. How wicked can one be?’’‘’We need to find out who he’s working with,’’ she said. ‘’Until then, no one touches him. His punishment is at my disposal.’’She walked away and I bit my lips. The plan was crashing. Sylvester had shot the wrong person, Octavia was still alive and she had my necklace. Now, Sylvester was going to be tortured until he confessed. I wondered how strong he would be. I had to do something.I found Mikel in his office. He was startled to see me. I could tell he was expecting me. He had that look in his face.‘’I’m in trouble, Mikel,’’ I said. ‘’I need your help.’’He glared at me. ‘’What were you thinking? We had a plan. A good one. You abandoned it for some no good riff raff.’’‘’Mikel..’’‘’I know you were sleeping with him,’’ he said, anger attempting to boil over the surface. ‘’I can’t help you right now.’’I moved f

I found aunt Elena in her room. She was startled by the expression on my face.‘’You look like you have seen a ghost,’’ she said, straightening her dress.‘’I think I have,’’ I replied. I walked in and sat on her bed. She was looking at me with concern. ‘’Did Rory catch you snooping around?’’ she asked. ‘’I couldn’t hold her for so long.’’I shook my head. ‘’No.’’ I reached for my bra and pulled out the necklace. She gasped. ‘’Where did you find it?’’‘’Her room. She hid it on the chandelier all this time,’’ I said. ‘’How could she..’’ She stood up. ‘’I have to report this immediately. ‘’I lost my trusted maid of over ten years because of this lying woman.’’I shushed her and asked her to sit down. ‘’That’s not the problem now, aunt,’ i said.‘’What is?’’I leaned closer to her. ‘’Sylvester.’’ I lowered my voice, scared that the room was being tapped. ‘’He’s not who he says he is. His name is not Sylvester Munroe. The real person is dead.’’Her mouth fell open but no sou

I had just gotten off a call with Lucas Conti and was enjoying a martini when I was told someone wanted to see me. I was clad in nothing but a towel and I was in no mood to see anyone. It was a beautiful day. Our project had passed the second phase of approval and it was ready to be opened in the Netherlands. Then the Americas and the United Kingdom.‘’She gave her name as Rose, sir,’’ the uniformed lady said and instantly the martini turned sour in my throat.Rose? It had been almost two weeks since our meeting in Amsterdam. I’d not forgotten the allegations she made against my business partner, but I had tossed them under the carpet. I was not going to allow his personal matters stop me from making money. It was the only thing that brought me happiness now. I was very unfortunate with love.‘’Ask her to come in,’’ I said, taking off my sunglasses. ‘’She can wait in the guest sitting room.’’‘’Yes, sir.’’I sipped a little more of the martini before rising from the mat.

My phone buzzed again.It had been going off like that for the past ten minutes. Soft, insistent vibrations against my hip, each one a ripple in the still waters of Aunt Elena’s very long, very detailed baby-bathing tutorial.She was standing over the bath, her sleeves rolled up, a calm, patient smile on her face as she cradled the baby in her arms for the third demonstration that afternoon. Not a drop of water splashed. Everything about her was precise, delicate, practiced.“And always keep your hand under the neck,” she said gently, as though I hadn’t already memorized every movement. “They’re so small, you see? You have to make them feel safe.”“I see,” I murmured, though my mind was far from here. The phone buzzed again. I didn’t need to look at it. I already knew who it was. Sylvester. His calls were never this persistent. If he was calling this much, something was wrong.Still, I couldn’t just step away. Not from Aunt Elena. She wasn’t the kind of woman you interrupted,
