Isabella 121.I noticed something about the way Michael spoke to Damien. It was beyond platonic and what stuck me as odd was that they both had some sort of resemblance and I the playful banter sounded so familiar."Let's get to it," Michael said, straight to the point. "We have reason to believe that your mom was murdered," He said.Damien and I both looked at each other."Damn it. You both know," Michael said and leaned back in frustration."Arsenic acid," I said to Michael.Michael threw Damien a suspicious glare. "That is police information, how do you know that?" He demanded."Someone sent it to my email on my computer this morning," I told him. "When I searched for the email that sent it online, there was no results," I added."Whoever this person is, they know know how to stay hidden," Michael said. "I am currently investigating this matter but it is being done secretly, there is enough heat on you as it is," Michael said.I was wondering if I should tel

Damien 122."I want to be alone," Isabella told me and left me all alone on the top floor. She had every right to be after what had gone down just today alone."She will get used to it, do not worry about her," Natalia said as she came closer to me. She seemed overtly chipper and I could not help but suspect her.Everyone was a suspect. Was Natalia capable of ending the life of a sick old woman in such a painful manner? I was not sure."I am more worried about you and your motives," I said."Damien, I mean you no ill will, I just want to make things right, the way they were before," Natalia said.I pointed to Camilla. "Her con man of a boyfriend kidnapped my wife and you advocate for her, things are never going to be the same between us ever again," I said and turned towards the elevator.Natalia followed me. "I am trying to make things right, Damien, why can you of all people not see that?" She called after me."How is she coming back here going to make things right?" I demanded."Ca

Isabella 123I could not believe that I was here or that I even agreed to he right here with the man who destroyed my childhood. I guessed that my desire for answers trumped the rage that I felt. It was a public ferry and it swayed softly in the waters.I was sitting by the silver railing and the wind blew softly in my eyes and hair. I had no idea what explanation I was going to give Damien but I was certain that I wanted to be here.I looked deeply and long at the man who left my mother and I when we needed him the most. I was shocked that he looked good. Too good. He looked like he was living his best years and it made me so mad.The best years that he could have given to my mother.He was in a soft gray old fashioned suit that clung to his body. There were so many questions on my mind that I had no idea where to even start.The name of the ferry was called The Wave and it had a mini restaurant attached to the deck. It seemed impractical to me because I wondered how it was going to

Damien 124.Her location stopped somewhere in the middle of the waters. It was silently grim in the car as Jackson drove. My head was swirling with confusion and my heart was beating fast. I glared angrily at the screen of my phone."Where are you going?" I asked out loud to no one in particular. I had no ideas why all this was happening."Is there a location we are going to be precise?" Jackson asked for the third time.I had no idea what was actually happening."Keep on cruising," I said in an absent minded fashion. Jackson sighed wearily.I turned away from my phone and looked at him closely."If this is not important enough for you, perhaps you should get down and take a cab and I will drive," I told him firmly."That is not why I am pissed," He replied as he stepped on the gas. I"Then what is the problem?" I asked."Why are we not at Vito's house, gun blazing?" He asked."Because it is a waste of time," I answered. "Time better spent on finding Isabella," I

Isabella 125.I had omitted one truth from Damien when I had showed him the email that contained my mother's autopsy. I had also received a letter from my father promising to reveal everything to me if we met. Here I was about to get off a boat.I had no idea where he was taking me but I followed him. What other choice did I have? As we got off the boat, I could not help but realize that we were practically strangers. What if all of this was a ploy to kidnap me?I had never been to this part of town before and it surprised me that it even existed."Welcome to little Brussels," He said and walked toward the sprawling rocky island. The houses were huge and perched on many hills. The houses were built in old fashioned castle style."Come with me, there is something that I want to show you," He said and I followed him.He led me to a set of steep but solid stairs naturally made on the hills. We climbed up until we were both standing on a very high hill with crashing

Damien 126.It was getting dark by the time I drove to the location Vito sent me. I parked and opened the box Michael had given me to take out the gun inside.It was a silver desert eagle, eight round capacity and each bullet is fifty calibre and armor piercing round. I could smell that it was recently well oiled. It was a big and heavy gun but it was effective.I took an extra clip with me before I got out of the car. The place was an old coffee shop that was still on business but the customers were all either middle aged or old. I, Michael and Jackson were the only young people and we stood out.It was quiet except for a few murmurs and loud sipping of coffee. Vito was a sitting with his back to the wall, alone with a brewing cup in his front. I walked to his table and took a seat.Jackson and Michael sat together at a different table being on the look out. I had briefed them earlier about how sneaky Vito can be.I watched him balefully as he sipped his cof

Damien “You are not in any position to tell me who I can or cannot be with” I told Vito. I was already getting tired of the way he regarded my wife. I quite frankly did not give a shit about how he felt about my personal life.“You are living with the enemy, Damien, you may not realize it now but trust me, that girl is trouble,” Vito warned me, looking at me dead in my eyes.“It never ceases to amaze me every time you choose to play a fatherly role when it comes to my life,” I told him. “Tell me something Vito, is targeting my wife with a sniper rifle part of what it is to be a father?” I inquired with an inquisitive frown.Vito said nothing as he glared at me. I looked around the old coffee shop he chose for our rendezvous. Only old men were inside. Except that they were not just old men, they were war veterans, and I was willing to bet my life that they were all armed with firearms.“You think you are so innocent, aren’t you?” Vito asked with pure malice. “Do you even know the kind

Isabella 126.Why did everyone believe that they knew what was best for me? Even the man that mysteriously disappeared when I was a child believed that he knew what was best for me. I could not believe the life that I was currently living was real.“Do not take this the wrong way, I am sure that he is fine young man, but he will only put you in danger,” Emilio said.“And what do I call you? Safe?” I asked sarcastically. I was not interested in his approval. “I went from foster homes to foster homes, and the only stagnant thing in my life was mom, so skip the whole disapproving father bullshit and tell me what is exactly going on,” I said angrily.“A hit was put on your head today,” He said in a quiet tone. I went cold from shock. “Do you want to take a guess at who was behind the trigger,” He added.I was not sure that I wanted to know.“Vito Moretti,”This was the third time that I would be targeted by the man that was unfortunate enough to be Damien’s father. Why did he want me dead

Damien “You think the Japanese were the only corrupt ones? Think about it, how did they know your wife before you?” He asked with that nonchalant attitude he had earlier. The same attitude that got him laid on his back. I had no intention of engaging him again. He was expecting me to attack, he was daring me. What he said made me realize I had no idea what was happening.“Okay, here is how it goes, I am going to a secret club and you are free to join me if you want answers. Or you can be on your way right now to go and find your wife if that is a priority,” He said indignantly.I had no idea where he was going with this but I knew how pointless it would be if I kept on searching for Isabella. She was with her father and when she returned, there had better be a good explanation for her behavior. I did not want to admit it but I was hurt and I felt betrayed which made me want to break Vito’s jaw. I nodded at his invitation.“This had better be worth it,” I muttered.“Oh trust me me, it

Isabella My heart was thumping hard in my chest as the man that was my estranged father stood far away from the door and pointed his gun at the door. I did not hide in the closet like he told me to. Instead I waited, confident that I could protect myself. “The first rule of owning a gun is to never let them know that you are carrying one,” Damien had told me when we were at the shooting range and he was teaching me how to hold the gun.In the end, I had chosen a gun called a Beretta with bullets that were called forty fives. It was a very difficult learning process. I hated the recoils the gun produced but over time, and in other to please Damien, I had gotten used to it. I was not an excellent shot yet, but in a circumstance like this, It could prove useful. But I was afraid of shooting anyone. I was afraid of taking a life. I hoped that Emilio knew how to use his gun.“Who is it?” Emilio asked in a calm clear voice. His hand never wavered as he pointed the gun at the door.“It’s me
