Chapter 75I spent most of the day in my room, ruminating over what Mikel had said to me. Something about him gave me the creeps and I knew that I could always trust my guts. Bree said he was my father’s right hand man, his most trusted in the business, but I saw something else in his eyes. There was something that warned me to watch my back whenever he was around.Bree arrived in my room just as I finished dressing up. I was trying to study a book about how the businesses run when she arrived with a tray of cookies. She kicked the door close with her feet and approached the hammock chair.‘’Are you feeling okay?’’ she asked, watching me. ‘’Everyone seems to be in such a terrible mood today.’’I forced a smile. ‘’Is that breakfast?’’She groaned slightly as she lifted herself onto the chair with her hands still holding the tray. ‘’I knew you wouldn’t come for some, so I brought mum’s cookies. You can’t say no to these.’’I crossed my legs in front of me and tucked my feet u

As I looked at her, I wondered if she knew the details of what I went through those six years with Axel. I knew my dad had all the information but it would be so embarrassing if Bree knew too. I returned my gaze to the garden that was just outside my window. I loved this new life that I had, and the power and respect that came with it. I would do anything to make sure it remained mine.Bree sighed deeply. ‘’The flowers are beautiful. I've never had any reason to look at them for this long.’’I met her smiling face and I smiled too. ‘’I’m sorry. I’m not always this gloomy.’’We walked back to the bed. She took my hand and ran her finger over the scar on it. ‘’I hope the mafia doesn’t eventually take you away from me, Octavia.’’ she dropped my hand gently. ‘’I mean, I love the life. I love the house, the clothes, everything but i get scared sometimes.’’I listened. Something had definitely come over her. I wasn’t sure if it was because of her brother's injury or the fact that

I looked better than I had imagined. I ran my fingers between the short bob of hair that bounced as I did. My hair was dyed black with some streaks of green that highlighted my emerald eyes. I swayed my head, enjoying the freedom that came with two thirds of my hair volume gone. Even Bree was impressed.‘’It came out better than I had hoped. You do look good.’’ Her hair was wrapped inside a plastic bag and she had a mask or some sort on her face.‘’What does my new look remind you of?’’‘’A bird,’’ she laughed.She was right. ‘’A raven bird,’’ I said.She hummed, her index finger resting on her chin. ‘’Not what i had in mind, but that works too.’’I sat on the free sofa beside her. ‘’I’m changing my name, bree. I’ll be Black raven from now on.’’ I looked at her. ‘’But you can call me Raven for short.’’She looked amused. ‘’You are doing a pretty good job at transforming your identity, Raven. I like the name. It has the ominous appeal to it.’’I bought a lot of clothes in di

She didn’t seem to be joking. I creased my brows. ‘’Why?’’ ‘’Some things can’t remain the same, Bree.’’ She bent in front of the vanity, admiring her new haircut. She tucked some of the short hair on one side behind her ears and let the hair on the other side fall to frame her face a little. With her skinny stature, she looked like a young boy. A very handsome one. She faced me, her eyes softening, almost begging me to understand her. ‘’I’ll have a lot of enemies because of the mafia, Bree. They won’t get me easily but they’ll hurt people I know. Rose is one of them.’’ She slumped on the bed and crossed her legs. ‘’I won’t forgive myself if something happens to her.’’I nodded, understanding her fully. ‘’We still have to say goodbye though. We can’t just leave without letting her know.’’‘’It’ll be easier on a phone call. I won’t see the way her heart would break when I tell her goodbye.’’I sat beside her, momentarily forgetting the excitement of trying out my new clothes.

Her eyes were closed and her lips were parted slightly. She was making a gentle moaning sound that was sending my skin crawling. ‘’Are you alright?’’ She turned slowly at me and smiled as though I had given her the best compliment of the year. ‘’Wanna find out?’’ she asked.I was in the process of ignoring her, raising my book back to my face when her hand brushed against it, sending it flying to the bed. Before I could recover from that shock, her hands encircled my neck and she drew me towards her. I felt her lips touch mine, then it took it, possessing iit did something to me. It was an emotion I had never felt before. I sat still as she continued with her assault, drawing me closer still and invading my mouth.She pulled away a few seconds later, her cheeks red with embarrassment. ‘’I’m -’’ she started to say, then decided to twist her fingers instead which she was watching with half attention. I picked my book and raised it to my face. I knew when she stood up from t

‘’Chin down, just a little. Eyes up.’’I crouched behind the camera, my eyes fixed on the model. She was a stunning woman with full lips and a bone penetrating stare. ‘’Let’s get that sultry gaze,’’ I said, clicking the shutters.The pictures were perfect. I knew she was a fashion magazine product from the first day I had seen her. ‘’Let’s get a profile shot.’’She turned her head to the side and I raised my camera. My finger hovered over the shutter button, waiting for the perfect moment.‘’Beautiful.’’I walked away from the platform, reviewing the images. I already knew what to do with each of them. I hunched over my laptop, scrutinizing the details.‘’Hey, Zion.’’ I felt her hands on my shoulders. ‘’How is the review going?’’Without looking up, I said, ‘’Good. You are very stunning.’’ Complementing models when they came for a shoot was part of my job, but there was no lie here. This woman was breathtakingly stunning.She leaned in, her voice dropping to a sultry whisper

My mind was a jumble of adrenaline, thoughts of the bullet ripping through my chest or my head running. I tried to reach for my phone with my shaky hands. I found it in the back pocket of my jeans. I could still see the man standing outside, watching us. He was not working alone. Someone had crashed the windows in the kitchen, and put off the lights.Rose’s terrified gaze met mine and she mouthed something I couldn’t hear. My heart was pounding loudly and I could almost hear my blood rushing behind my ears. My fingers closed around my phone and I yanked it out with a jerky motion. I had emergency on speed dial, and I immediately rang it. The man in black still had his masked face pressed against the glass. I was expecting the person responsible for the crash in the kitchen to walk in at any moment and put a bullet through our skulls.‘’Hello. What’s your emergency?’’I pressed the phone to my ear, crawling away under the mask of the slight darkness in the room. Rose followed

Zion’s room came into full view as I opened my eyes. I rolled slightly away from him, trying not to wake him up. I let out a small gasp of air. It had been real. I had slept with my best friend’s ex boyfriend. Shit. my eyes travelled along the ceiling. There was a large, incomplete painting of a naked woman and her lover. I looked around for my clothes. I remembered we had pulled our tops in the sitting room. I was wearing a denim jean skirt when he carried me into the room.‘’Octavia,’’ he moaned gently, reaching for my arm. I froze, hoping he would not open his eyes. It was already awkward enough that he thought I was Octavvia. I was very much aware of what was happening when he kissed me last night and I felt like dirt right now.He returned to sleep a few seconds later and I tried sliding down the bed again. The bed creaked a little but he didn’t make any movement. He was sleeping soundly. My skirt was lying at the foot of the bed, as well as my panties and bra. I grabbed

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

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. ‘
