Kai’s words radiate in my ear as I find myself in a state of total disbelief, unable to grasp what he’s saying. I clearly heard what he said but I just can’t put myself in a position of believing it. I wait for Kai to speak more words, to say that he’s joking but the profound expression on his face makes it clear that the only joke here is the fact that I thought I would be able to protect my father. At that moment, my mind instantly goes numb as my heart sinks into my chest. It feels like I am being suffocated from my own thoughts - the pooling thoughts of what Kai had just unleashed on me. I refuse to believe him, I had just seen Dad a few minutes ago, he was happy and he looked good, there is nowhere he had gone missing in just a couple of minutes. Feeling at a loss for words when facing Kai, I swiftly turn around, my eyes scanning every corner of the room in a desperate search. The room feels vast as I pivot back and forth, but my dad is nowhere to be found. Despite Kai's insinu

Life is like a roller coaster of unexpected changes, you never know when it will hit you or when it will take over you, at this point, I feel like it had just hit me and is about to take over me but I won't let that happen. Life has done me a lot of bad, it's time I take control and decide on what it cannot do to me."You’re not listening to me, Delilah. This is madness. You can’t lock the place down with a bunch of mafia inside. Are you trying to make more enemies for yourself?" Alex's voice is filled with concern and disbelief as he challenges my actions, warning me of the risks involved."I’m trying to find my dad," I assert, my determination unwavering."I understand that, but this approach won't lead you to him. You need to be smart about this," he insists, his tone firm."I am being smart!"Shaking his head, Alex persists, "No, you’re not. This isn't a smart move; it is dumb… you’re being dumb!""Dumb?" I question, my eyebrow raised in skepticism.Alex sighs heartily, his voice

I cannot sleep! I didn’t even try to sleep.I didn’t want to sleep. All I wanted and could think about is how to find my dad because I am going crazy and it’s only a matter of time before I actually get crazy. My mind is going a mile a minute and my heart is numb, I cannot feel or do anything, everything around me is dense and I just cannot think straight. I need to find dad and I need to make sure he’s alright.I have lived the majority of my years thinking that my father was dead, I had normalized that thought even though it was never something I liked but after I found him and had been with him for two years, I realized how much I was missing out on and how much my life needed that bright light he shines. My father is my forever guy and I need him in my life, I can’t lose him twice….. I just can’t.I have been on the computer for hours, watching the CCTV footage trying not to miss out on anything but it seems like there isn’t really anything to miss out on. Everything seems to be

I wish I had listened to Dad. He always told me that we have enemies and we need to keep it low but I didn’t listen, I did what my mind told me to do and I let him down. I am the reason for his distress once more. I should have known better, I should have protected him like he always does for me. I insert the flash drive into the system, initiating the upload of the footage. It progresses halfway when a knock on the door interrupts me. "Come in," I call out. In walks Kai, balancing a plate with a grilled cheese sandwich. "Kylie mentioned you missed breakfast, so I brought this for you," he says, approaching me with a warm smile."That’s sweet of you I'm really not hungry," I protest.He pauses, his gaze shifting to my rumbling stomach. "Your stomach seems to disagree," he remarks."Okay, I'm hungry, but I just don't feel like eating," I admit reluctantly."You've got to eat; otherwise, this might turn into an investigation about you fainting from hunger," Kai warns, a playful tone in

Shifting my gaze from the screen, I assert, "This isn't a kidnap case Kai, it’s a whole damn revenge plot and I think I know what is about."My heart crumbles into pieces as I try to make sense of the scene before me. How did I not think about this sooner? I let him find me, of course, he will plot revenge, he will do anything just so I could get hurt again. I should have known. Kai's voice drops instantly, and it's clear he's struggling to follow my train of thought. "What are you saying?" he asks, his confusion palpable.I point at the screen, and a surge of realization hit me. "I know whose hand it is.""Who is it?" he prods."It's Richie.""What!" he exclaims, disbelief coloring his tone. "Richie as in Richard Maranzano?"My eyes remain fixed on the screen as I confirm with a nod."But how? He wasn't even invited.""Yet he managed to slip in unnoticed, evading the cameras," I reveal. He is so snarky, I am still in disbelief of this, after everything he still had to guts to come t

Once we arrive, I rush out of the car and walk over to the front door. I knock and impatiently wait for someone to answer. I know I'm walking into the lion's den, but I don't care right now. All I care about is satisfying this anxious feeling deep within me. I need to find dad and make sure that he’s okay. Richie is capable of anything and god knows what he did or is about to do to my dad. I cannot imagine how much evil is in that man’s heart. He’s done a lot but I think it’s time for him to hold onto his evil mind because I do not play when it comes to my father.Waiting for the door to be open, I could feel my heart beating out of my rib cage, I couldn’t believe that I’m standing in front of Richie’s house, the same man I walked away from two years ago. I hate to see Richie by my side, it really hurts my heart but today I have no other choice. He took my dad and I have to get my father back. I need to do that. As I wait, I begin to tap my feet on the ground as I turn back to see Kai

His words reverberate through my mind like a relentless drumbeat, leaving me staring at him in utter shock. It's a recurring pattern - always papa. I should have seen this coming, Richie is just a puppet of Papa, he’s always been.Full of disbelief I question "Papa?" I couldn’t help but scoff immediately "I didn’t know you’re still Papa’s puppet, doing whatever Papa wants, whenever Papa wants. You never seem to have a mind of your own, Richie.""That’s not what I meant Rach." He says"Then what did you mean? That it’s all Papa’s fault or that you didn’t even know about the whole thing? Perhaps when kidnapping my dad papa didn’t tell you a thing about it did he?" I question knowing very well that Richie does whatever Papa wants without even asking any questions. He’s just like a puppet, papa walks him through all day long. "I meant that Papa did nothing, although he was at the party." He says My eyes bulge as my heart dropped. "He was at the party?" I find myself whispering. I am in

I turn to leave, only to freeze in place as Richie utters, "You might want to know this. That night, Ezra wasn’t the only one who went missing… Papa is missing too." His word hangs heavy in the air making my heart ponder in my chest. I turn to look at him "What do you mean he’s missing?""He never came back from the party. I looked everywhere, I searched everywhere but Papa wasn’t there." He says "Are you serious right now?" I askHe nods "Yes.""Ohh, well I…." Before I could finish the sentence, Kai interjects "It’s none of our business. Your Papa or whatever the hell you call him is missing, that’s not on us. It’s on you so fix your shit alone!"Richie’s furrows, his jaw clenches as his breath drops "Say one more thing and I promise you’ll hate the rest of your life."Richie is not someone that threatens so I can tell that he’s upset, though I don’t speak in their matters "I wish I could say that to you but you’re already hating yourself." Kai says Richie looks like he’s about to

All I ever wanted was to celebrate my dad and make him feel acknowledged. For the past years and even years before Dad had done many greats for people, he’s a warrior, a fighter, and maybe even the only Mafia king in history to have survived ten years in his enemy’s captive. Dad has done a lot for me and I just wanted to give back the good but unfortunately, I couldn’t. I made everything worse and now Dad is in a tight spot because of me. I screwed up my own dad’s life and I have to do whatever it is to fix it. I push the chair back as I stand up from my seat and walk to the window. I have been harboring these CCTV cameras for hours trying to figure out any clues or leads. The blurry footage loops endlessly, a frustrating reminder of how elusive redemption seems. Nothing is working out right now, I have done so many things, I went through the guest list again, I dug through Dad’s stuff to see if I could find something, I even made a list of people that hate my dad and went through ea

My mind is completely consumed by the idea of reaching out to Richie and agreeing to work with him; the last time I checked, I promised myself to never be anywhere near him and if I’m gonna be there then it’s to bring hell to him. The fact that I am all flattered by his statements regarding the abduction really kills me and makes me want to do nothing but know exactly what he’s up to and learn everything he knows about the situation so I can use it to find Dad. Initially, I am all in and completely convinced that I’m going to work with Richie but now, so many doubts are creeping in. It's not about him- I don’t fear Richie for a second but I fear my mind and I fear my capabilities especially to disregard everything and cause him harm in the process.I hate Richie from the core of my heart and my feelings for him are intense, making me doubt my own actions around him.Richie's presence is unbearable to me. His face triggers a strong reaction in me, and his questionable reputation – craf
