Semua Bab THE LIES THAT BIND: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Massimo’s POV. I wished I didn’t go over to the governors place. But the truth was, he had the power and forces to pull me down in all ramifications. I saw no sense in his request though, asking me for a third of my company and also handing my sister, Vanessa, in marriage to him. It was a slap to my face and I saw that as being dehumanizing. I sat in the vehicle as Rome drove into the premises. All that clustered in my head was the meeting’s outcome and also, the fact that Vanessa would yell so hard after hearing such. I exhaled and rolled my lips in disappointment as I held the steering while Rome calmed me down. “Aren’t you going to forgive yourself and let’s head into that building, all we need to do is have a strategic plan with Mr. Volkov, and see where it leads to from there.” He replied as he opened the vehicle and walked down before his mobile phone rang. I heard him sound so curious on the call and from all I know about Rome, it’s either someone was dead, or someone was ab

Massimo’s POV. It was such a day of disappointment for me. First it was the Governor, Baize, and now it’s the fool who butchered my steward and he’s nowhere to be found. Rome shot sporadically for a few seconds before I asked him to hold fire, else he may hit an innocent civilian and maybe put us into more trouble. We both headed to a secure location at the center of the city. It was already 8:45 PM That day. I felt so bad about the outcome of the events we carried out and needed to grab some drinks, Just Rome and I alone. He stared at the drink for a couple of minutes and then looked away. I knew for a fact that he wasn’t happy, because he told me earlier on about the man and the child and almost had them before I intervened. Pretending to scroll through his phone was a norm and I understood. I just had to calm his nerves, maybe with a little joke or something. “Ah-ah, there you go, thanks so much,” I smiled at the beautiful dark-skinned waitress at the eatery who brought in the t

Massimo’s POV. It’s 2:42 P.M. I felt so tired already and folded my arms while I thought of the recent occurrences which had been playing around me the whole time. The first which came to me was the fact that my intentions to be on the list of those to run for the governorship was now known to the governor himself. That wasn’t what got me so bothered; I felt so tensed because he didn’t take sides with me and Vanessa hadn’t heard of the plans which he had. I just had to calm my nerves and try to see how I’ll be able to tackle these problems. Marcello was the next, which came to me as I turned to see a frame on the wall where the both of us stood, smiling as we held the Caritas awards from the Jovinc groups. An award he made me win for the first time in my life, just two years ago. And now he’s dead. Such a tragic event. The enemies which evolved around me were growing by the day and I had absolutely nothing to do about it, I just had to keep calm and wait for a perfect day to strike

Massimo’s POV. 5:40PM. (DLC) - De Luca Corporation. It was time to head back home and I’ve just had a very bad day at work. I wasn’t so pleased because I reacted rudely in the eyes of the people around, both at the eatery and also at my company. I just need a fresh bath and a nice meal. Rome packed his bag and also mine as he headed straight to the boot of the vehicle. He watched me closely while he did this and realized I wasn’t myself. I knew for a fact that he’d have to stay clear and just drive me home else it could ignite my anger so I kept mute while I sat in the car. “Boss I’m done,” he said as he stood outside the car, facing me while I sat. “Come in, and take me home,” I replied, sluggishly as I wiped my face with the face towel beside me.He exhaled on the steering and turned to me quietly. He was my best man, and I knew he’d definitely want to tender an apology tone more time. “Come on Boss, you don’t have to keep that in your mind, all day, what happened right there w

Ana’s POV. I was at the lounge, the building meant for Massimo’s men when I heard him shout. “Get the truck and load them! Now! Those boys think I’m here to joke with them.” He said as he walked quickly through the corridor while I followed behind. “Massi, what’s the problem?” I asked. Walking quickly behind him as he walked so fast. “Ana, you’ve got to keep your eyes open, this city isn’t safe, things are getting out of hand and trust me, you’ll get to know when the time’s right, everything boils down to you, staying out of trouble and staying put, bullets, flying bullets could take a man down all of a sudden, I’ll make sure Isabel takes good care of you while you’re here,” he replied as he turned back to face Rome who was already with a brief case which I sensed had a gun in it. “Come on, you’re not telling me what I need to know, I’m your wife for goodness sake and here I am, trying to dance around a ray of thoughts, flowing through my veins. “Boss, they’ve taken down two of
