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. ‘

    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

    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

    < 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

    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

    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 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 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.

    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
