Heat fluttered in my belly, I shouldn't be feeling like this but then this is a sweet gesture and he feels sorry about it, maybe something actually came up. I open the door, as I walked in phone rings. It's Nile "Hello," I said as I picked "Hi Octavia, did you get the flowers." He asked"Yeah, I did but I don't get the point, what you did was not cool, at all." "I'm sorry baby, let me make it up to you." "How?" "There is a pouch in the bouquet of flowers." I look down at the flowers in my hand, truly a rose coloured pouch hung rested in the middle of the flowers, I put my phone on loudspeaker and placed it on the table, Sitting on the sofa, I felt a mix of sadness and confusion. I picked up the box, feeling its weight in my hands, and curiosity began to replace some of my anxiety.As I carefully opened the box my heart raced. Inside, I found a delicate silver necklace, its chain glimmering in the light. The small heart pendant caught my eye, and I could almost feel his presence a

NILE'S POV I tap my feet impatiently as I wait for the elevator at Octavia's building to reach the ground floor. I have to get home before my wife and the kids wake up. I should not have spent the night here really. I know what I did last time hurt her, and she has been wanting me to spend the night, which is not surprising, and I have admitted to myself that I enjoy spending time; it's better than the silence at home. The parking lot is deserted; that is expected because no one in their right mind will be up and about by four am in the morning. I hear a sound to my right; I see what looks to be the figure of a man. I rub my hands together; it must be cold to sleep outside. I check my wallet and put the cash inside it under a bundle of cloth beside. I check the time as I pull out of the parking lot; it's four thirty already. I remember the argument Miranda and I had this morning; she has an issue with me coming home late; she probably suspected I'm seeing someone; I don't know what

OCTAVIA'S POVRose arrived before me today; the doors were already open as I got there, and the sound of Celin Dion's 'Heart Will Go On' drifted in from the kitchen. As I walked into the kitchen, the warm scent of vanilla and sugar enveloped me. Rose was standing at the counter, completely immersed in her task. She had her back to me, her hair tied up in a messy bun, and she was mixing a large bowl of batter with enthusiasm. I leaned against the doorframe, watching her for a moment. She was singing softly to herself; it was one of her favorite songs, and she was swaying slightly as she stirred the batter, completely lost in her own little world. Flour dust danced in the air, and I could see splatters of ingredients on the counter, evidence of her spirited baking session.Unable to contain my laughter any longer, I stepped forward and said, “Looks like I walked in on a baking concert!” Startled, she turned around, her eyes wide with surprise, but then she broke into a grin. “You caugh

I can't even talk right now; I take in deep breaths as I try to get my emotions under control. "Who was that? I saw him freeze as soon as he came in," she continued. "He is a friend of Axel, the person that made me work at the casino; I don't really know if they are friends, but they are together quite often." Realization dawned on her features, and she looked at me with something close to sympathy. I avoid her eyes; I don't want anyone to pity me; I'm done with that life. "It's probably nothing; I don't know if he recognizes me or not. She wraps her arms around me."I'm going to bring a baseball bat tomorrow; if he comes back here and tries anything, I'm going to break his legs and make sure he doesn't walk out with his feet intact." I laugh and relax into her embrace. "That would be nice." "I have to go check up on customers' orders; are you going to be okay?" she asks. "I'm fine, Rose." "You sure you don't want to go home? Joel and I will have everything under control." "Na

OCTAVIA'S POVAs I wiped down the counter, the familiar sound of the café's doorbell rang in my ears, but today it felt different, almost electric. For weeks, I had been on edge, glancing up every time the door creaked open, half-expecting to see that man or even Axel walk in again. I expect Axel and his goons to walk in here every minute. The memory of our last encounter lingered in my mind, his unsettling note echoing like a haunting melody. I could still feel the chill that ran down my spine when he had looked at me, eyes piercing through the small talk, making me feel exposed and vulnerable. Each day without his presence brought a strange relief but also a nagging sense of unease, like waiting for a storm that never came. I had convinced myself that maybe he had decided to ignore my existence and that I could finally breathe easy in my little café sanctuary.But then, just as I thought I could relax, the door swung open, and there he was, casually strolling in as if he hadn’t haun

***"You seem tensed and distracted, what's wrong," Nile asked twirling a lock of my hair between his fingers, I turn to face him, the sunset rays coming in from the window cast a soft golden glow on his already olive skin making him look almost ethereal. I trace his jawline with my finger then his shoulder, precipitation of sweat from our earlier activities moisten his back, I'm fully sated and exhausted but knowing he is not wearing anything except the cover of the blanket does little to stop my thoughts from going back to what happened with that man at the café earlier this week, I shrug the thought of, I shouldn't let this bother me anymore, if push comes to shove, I'll get a restraining order against him, he doesn't look like someone that can can afford to have the police on his payroll. "Nothing, I'm fine. I think I'm just a bit tired," "Is it the café? Is it getting more demanding? Do you need help? Should I hire someone?" He shot question after question. It was at times like

OCTAVIA'S POVAs I sit on my bed, the silence in the room feels deafening. My phone lies next to me; its screen is dark, but I can’t help glancing at it every few seconds, hoping for a notification that never comes. I feel a mix of sadness and anger swirling inside me, like a storm that won’t pass. Why did he have to storm out like that? My mind races back to the argument, the harsh words we exchanged, and the way his face twisted in frustration. I thought we could work things out, but now I’m left here, staring at this lifeless device, waiting for a call that I know might not come. I pick up my phone, scrolling through our old messages, trying to find a moment that reminds me of how we used to be. But all I see are the echoes of our last fight. It feels so unfair. I want to scream, to throw the phone against the wall, but instead, I just sit here, feeling trapped in this whirlwind of emotions. I can probably reach out to him first, but my pride won't let me. I want him to realize

OCTAVIA'S POVThe sound of the doorbell startles me away. Rose and I had fallen asleep in the middle of the movie. I look at the wall clock; it is twenty minutes last eleven. Who would be knocking on my door this late in the night? The doorbell rings again. Why is the person so inpatient? I check to see the person outside through the intercom. Nile's face came into view. I pressed the button and told him I'd be out in a minute. I walked into my bedroom to put on a robe over my pajamas. I opened the door but stepped out before he could come in. Rose is asleep in the living room, and I wouldn't want us to wake her. I looked up at him; he is dressed in a suit and still manages to look immaculate by this time of the night; the only thing that gave him away is the tired look in his eyes. I leaned on the wall and looked at him. "What are you doing here, Nile?" I asked"I wanted to see you." "This late at night? You disappear on me all day, and now you suddenly knock on my door when the w

I sat silently in the car, my eyes scanning the road. It was just a little past 1am and the streets were scanty. It would not be hard to find me and put an end to my life long dream of becoming a mafia boss. I replayed every event of that night from meeting up with Lorenz at the car, and wondered where the mission had begun to fail. Why did that man on the corridor suddenly shoot at us? The security breach alarm had not even gone off. Lorenz was concentrating on the road but I could tell he was thinking about the mission too. My eyes caught a patch of wetness on the sleeve of his shirt that was too wide to be a sweat patch.‘’Lorenz,’’ I called gently, looking at the spot. ‘’What happened to your arm?’’He didn’t look at me or his arm. ‘’It was just a graze,’’ he said.‘’Oh my God,’’ I said. ‘’You shouldn’t be driving with that arm.’’He winced a little. ‘’It’s fine. I can manage, Rory.’’ He looked at me briefly before facing the road ahead. I nodded, but I was not convinced

She fumbled with the lock. It seemed it required some arrangement of the tiles on the door to unlock it. She furrowed her brows in concentration, her fingers moving deftly and pressing the tiles in place. Suddenly, she turned to us and nodded.‘’Turn off the lights,’’ she whispered.We waited for a few minutes before she gave the signal. Cold air hit our faces as the door gave way with a loud creak that I thought was going to give our location. We ran, while one of the men stayed behind to cover our tracks. The gardens came into view as we took a turn around the mansion. Headlamps were on all over the compound, making it difficult for us to hide in the darkness of the night. I wondered if we should surrender. I knew they would never dare kill the Don’s daughter but it would send the wrong message and I knew how messages like that flew.Someone began to shoot at us from one of the post on the fence.‘’Fuck!’’ Lorenz cursed, ducking.‘’Were you hit?’’ Rory asked.There was

Lorenz stepped forward, his eyes scanning the room as the women tried to take cover. Some of the men checked the bathroom and the closet.‘’Where is Marcello?’’ Lorenz asked, pointing the gun at the women who quivered.I could see Rory glancing at the door repeatedly. I knew why she was scared. It was obvious the mission had failed already and it was time for us to leave if we wanted to make it out alive.One of the ladies let out a flurry of words we couldn’t understand. It sounded German. She pointed at the vent. Lorenz walked up to it and on examination, he could see that it was tampered.‘’Shit!’’ He paced around the room.‘’It is time to retreat,’’ I said. I could hear the sound of the security alarm blaring in the compound. Lorenz approached the vent and leaned down, fitting his head into the space.‘’He couldn’t have gone far,’’ he said.I looked at the door and gestured at Aaron to be beside me. ‘’Guard the door,’’ I said to the other men.Lorenz drew his head out

‘’That was the worst sideline in the history of sidelines,’’ he said, looking at me with disapproval in his eyes. ‘’I could address it on your behalf, but that would make you even look weaker.’’My eyes burned with rage. ‘’Don’t think you get to speak to me in such manner, Aaron.’’He looked like he wanted to say something but decided otherwise. He pulled out a bullet proof vest and threw it over my head, centering the front panel. He tugged at the straps until they fit snugly around my body, then handed me a fatigue shirt which I threw over the vest.I looked at him. As usual, he had refused to take a vest. After this mission, Aaron was going to get a rebriefing from me, and an equal punishment for disobeying my orders. We stepped out and walked into the car where Lorenz was already seated. Aaron sat in front and I sat at the back beside him.He stretched a handgun towards me. I looked at it and refused to collect it.‘’What is this?’’ I snapped.‘’For your protection.’’

Opening my eyes was accompanied with a pounding headache, forcing me to close them briefly and rub my forehead. My mouth was dry and felt like it was stacked with dry cottons. I rolled my head to the side, expecting to see Octavia but met the bed beside me empty. It had been a foolish dream. I sat up and felt a wave of dizziness push me to recline on the pillow. I wasn't always this hung over. Perhaps, I had taken too much alcohol last night. My memory was still hazy and I couldn't decide if it was at a bar or club. I threw the sheets away and to my dismay, I was completely naked. I sat down there, looking at my naked legs and then the pool of semen that had left a wet mark on the white sheet. It wasn’t a dream? Was Octavia really here? Despite the dizziness and headache, I pushed myself out of bed and staggered to the bathroom. ‘’Octavia?’’ I flipped on the light switch and squinted at my reflection in the mirror.

On the ground floor of the Da Vinci’s mansion is the security room, a compact high-tech space where security cameras from all over the town of Palmero were reviewed by select security agents. I have access to this room but I use the smaller room for briefing. The walls are adorned with maps of the estate and the surrounding area, with a small console that houses the backup security system of the mansion. No one except my father, Mikel and I know about the backup security system. The room is dimly lit and has a musty smell about it. The only light in the room is from the soft blue glows emanating from the screens. I drew out a metal chair, which scraped against the cold metal floor. This room is made of metals that are bullet proof and can survive a drone attackOli stood in front of me, her hands clasped behind her back. She has a tall and imposing figure with her dark hair cropped short. Aaron is standing beside me, stoic and unreadable.‘’I have a special mission for yo

I heard the sound of the door closing shut as she left and I collapsed on the counter. The tears came down in torrents, and my body vibrated from the emotions of guilt and loss. I didn’t think I had done the right thing, I had done the easier thing. ‘’I’m so sorry, Octavia.’’I could never accept her forgiveness for what I had done without forgiving myself first. I was a coward too.—-‘’I’m sorry, Rose.’’My worst fears were becoming a reality. I needed to find a way to protect her from the people that may want to hurt her. I reached for her as I stepped forward.‘’Perhaps it’s best we give each other some space for now,’’ she said, her words making me freeze in my path. She was still looking out of the window, backing me.‘’Rose,’’ I started. ‘’I thought of this too. I’m concerned about your safety and I’ll -’’‘’Just stop,’’ she cut me short, raising her hand. ‘’Don’t do anything, Octavia. You’ve done enough.’’I sighed. ‘’Let me do something about this, Rose.

Inhaling the familiar scent of her perfume did little to put me at ease. I felt the betrayal even more. Telling her the truth at this point was more impossible than it had been a couple of minutes ago. Maybe I should have just told her over the phone. We separated from the hug and she looked at me with concern in her eyes. I darted my eyes, looking at the floor instead and i felt a flush rise in my cheeks.‘’Are you okay?’’I nodded. ‘’Where is Bree?’’ then walked into the room as she stepped in after me.‘’She’s in the car. I wanted us to talk about something privately first.’’I swallowed hard. Here it goes. ‘’Breakfast?’’‘’Wouldn’t mind some of your muffins,’’ she said, dropping on one of the chairs. ‘’I miss them so much.’’Muffins reminded me of the event of last night. I could blame her for it, use it as a defense card. If that incident had not happened, I wouldn't have gone to Zion’s house and none of this would have happened.‘’I only have coffee and some cold biscui
