‘’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

I wrapped the necklace over my neck and bent my neck down as I fiddled with the hook at the back of my neck. I was thinking of the perfect time to ask about Rose. She had not mentioned it and I was worried that something had happened.‘’It’s beautiful, Bree,’’ she said. I was glad she liked it. I had seen them that morning at the trinket store. Immediately I saw them, I knew I wanted them. Initially, i thought of Aaron. I imagined him wearing the black while I wore white. But I knew he would never accept it and such gestures would raise concerns that may eventually get him in trouble. I wished what I felt for Aaron was just friendship or brotherly love, but it wasn’t. And I wouldn't be able to deny it if i’m ever placed on the spot.So I thought i’d just get it for Octavia and I.‘’How are things with Rose?’’ I asked as I secured the hook in place and adjusted the necklace to sit well on my neck. ‘’Did you guys make up?’’She sighed and I looked up at her. Her head was down

I ducked behind a bin and crouched on the ground. My palms brushed on the rough floor and I cursed under breath. I twisted my body, hoping no one would notice me. As the car reversed onto the street, I peeped at it. The windows were not tinted so I could see the man behind the wheels. And the man at the back of the car. It was David. He was dressed up in white shirt and dark suit. The car reversed up the curbs of the opposite house and then the driver swerved left and they drove down the street. I made a mental note of the car plate number. I looked into the house before the gates closed again. There was a young woman standing there, with a young girl beside her. From where I was, I couldn't see them clearly but I guessed they had come out to wave David goodbye. Was he married? Is the girl Nakku?The gate closed and I stood up from the dirt, rubbing off the dust that had stained my jeans at the knee and shin area. I made sure the camera didn’t get my face. The best they woul

There were about four men in total. One of them was dressed formally in suits, while the others were casually dressed. I assumed the one in the suit was the leader of the group. He saw me almost the same time I saw him and he walked towards me. He stretched out his hand to me as he got to my side.‘’You must be Rose,’’ he said. ‘’I’m thomas storm.’’I took his hand in mine and he shook it. His grasp was firm. ‘’Mr storm,’’ I said. ‘’What is going on here?’’ I looked at the other three men who were now seated.He smiled. He had a sort of charm about him when he smiled. ‘’I’m so sorry for barging into your place like this. Beautiful place, I must say. Can we sit down to talk?’’I looked at Jay. he wasn’t looking in my direction.‘’This way, please,’’ I said, pointing ahead of us to the seats at the back. We took the farthest seats from the customers and I examined the man before me. He seemed to be in his forties. I could see the specs of grey hair on his beard, and they made h

I studied my reflection in front of the mirror. The jumpsuit sat perfectly on my body and swayed with my movement. I turned around and looked at the backless design. It was perfect.‘’I absolutely love this,’’ I said, still twisting my body in front of the mirror. It gave me the perfect blend of feminine and powerful.Bree smacked her gums loudly. I could tell she was going to disapprove of my choice.‘’What is it?’’ I asked, facing her.She inspected my wear and I pulled out different poses as though she was taking photos of me. ‘’Too formal, Octavia. It’s a garden party, isn’t it?’’‘’Not really a party. But yeah, it’s a garden event.’’She sighed. ‘’I love the dress, Octavia and it looks really pretty on you but you’ll be out of place sitting in a garden with a black jumpsuit.’’I turned back to the mirror. ‘’What’s wrong with it?’’I saw her in the mirror as she arrived in the closet. ‘’Let me look for something you could wear, Oct.’’ she moved to the wardrobe and bega

I glanced at my wrist watch. It was already thirty minutes after my usual ten minutes of grace whenever Octavia set up a time. She was in the house, so I was rest assured that she was safe. I would give her another fifteen minutes, then I would have to go and check if anything was actually wrong.I stood on the patio observing the compound. The weather report for the evening was favourable and there was no word around that anything wrong was happening outside the mansion. It seemed like a perfect day to go out. The man in the mask still bothered me though and it hurt my pride that he had escaped my grasp twice. He had also branded me with a bullet wound and each time I saw it, I got a little more motivated to pull a bullet through his brain. I saw Marie strutting across the compound to meet Rodriguez. I knew something was going on with them. They were always sneaking around to see each other, but they were not my priority.Oli walked into the compound with a small backpack t

Three days after the incident that nearly left me dead, i was discharged from the hospital to go home for some adequate rest.‘’You’ll need to rest, so that you’ll heal well,’’ the doctor said.Nile took me to his house. I couldn’t even protest against it. Thoughts of that evening occasionally came to mind, and it brought terror. I imagined what could have happened if the unidentified person had just shot me. I had nightmares sometimes, and in these nightmares I saw the face of the masked man. Sometimes, it was Octavia. One time it was Nile.Dad looked around the room and nodded. I could tell he was only accepting the house because Nile had convinced him that he would increase the security around the houses. I saw the creases on his face. They were even deeper than they had been the last time I saw them. It had been close to a year.‘’Whoever did this to my son will pay with their own blood. No one touches a Giovanni for free,’’ he said to no one in particular.Nile nodded. ‘

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
