21 ~ Rage

Francesco“What did you say happened?” I slammed my fist on the table, the sound echoing through the room like a crack of thunder. My face twisted in rage, my eyes blazing with fury. The veins on my forehead pulsed like hot wires, my jaw clenched so tight it felt like it might shatter.“The Fernandez family hijacked our goods. All the tankers are gone.” My consigliere — An advisor to the Don, often handling disputes and strategic decisions — explained the situation surrounding the circumstances we are in. “And our men?” I asked, my eyes nearly popping out of their sockets. “All dead, Don.” He replied with his head down before he let out a sigh. “You are dismissed,” I said, then I waved my hands dismissively. Before I knew it, my ass was already pressed into the sofa behind me. Air closed in on me despite the fact that the air conditioner was powered. Everything is crashing down. Why? Marshall!I will make the fool pay for his sins. He still hasn't learned, right? Well, he should

22 ~ Once Bitten, Twice Shy

BrindaFrancesco stormed into the living room accompanied by the few men we had left after Marshall's associates ambushed our men and hijacked the tankers. Now, I'm beginning to fear for my safety. If Marshall's associates could have crossed Francesco's men and Francesco left the house earlier in anger to confront his rival and still came back furious, it can only mean one thing. The thirst for blood was unsuccessful. What exactly happened?“Brinda,” Francesco called out to me. “Yes, Don.” I answered like a willful cat, obviously not trying to anger him more. “Get me a bottle of wine and chilled water.” He ordered before he hurried up the stairs to his room. His men all retired to their room. The house was just an eerie silence. Everyone's mood has been altered by the recent happenings in just two hours. Bullet's life hangs in balance and Francesco just lost a lot of his men but how is that my concern? I have no connection with any of them. But as for Bullet, she has been a nic

23 ~ Punishment For Failed Mission

BrindaThe past few weeks have been nothing but stressful as I and Bullet overworked and trained ourselves in order for Francesco to have a higher hand in the battle between him and Marshall. I have been following Francesco to his office and working as his secretary which has been tiring, coupled with the constant visits of Charlotte Kavanaugh. Despite the chaos and trouble, I have been adding the grinded bottle into Francesco's food and water or any other type of things that would go to his stomach. Bullet suddenly pulled my hands and our back hit the wall. That way we were able to hide from Marshall's men who were on the lookout. Francesco had sent us to get the crypt key again. “We need to succeed this time,” Bullet expressed, tapping her fingers gently on the wall. I nodded and we swung into action. We ran across the fence till we reached the back of the compound. As expected, a few of Marshall's men were there. We both know what to do. We found our way into their midst and t

24 ~ This Is Just The Beginning

With a heart full of excitement and a mind filled with evil thoughts, Marshall marched into the Casino. His head was held high as he found his way into the inner room. On his left side was Alice, his puppet. As they entered the subdued radiant room, Marshall lounged on the luxurious, leather-upholstered couch and exhaled a deep breath before Alice sat on his laps. She kissed him for a while before she broke from the kiss and opened her purse. She gave a devilish smile as she brought out a pack of cigarettes which she flaunted alongside a lighter. She lit it up and smoked a little before she poured the content into the air. She smirked and moved her hand backward when Marshall tried to share some with her. “You have to convince me,” Alice said, locking her eyes on Marshall's. “How much do you want me to convince you? As much as convincing you to fight with Brinda?” Marshall asked, raising an eyebrow, just before he placed his head on her slightly exposed breast. “Breast is life, i

25 ~ A Spade A Spade

BrindaHot tears flowed out of my eyes as I watched Marshall storm away after letting me suffer. What kind of man is he? I can't believe he was the one I fell in love with years ago. If I'm talking about Marshall, what about Francesco? He was my first love and yet he betrayed me. Not only did he betray me, he used me. Such a horrible life I have got!I felt a gentle touch on my left hand where the tea spilled on. I turned sharply, forgetting my sorrow. And there he was… Francesco. He was already knelt in front of me and in his hands was a first aid box. He had a ‘sorry’ look on his face and my heart fluttered a little. “I'm sorry. I… I was unaware that he could do such a thing.” He said apologetically. Is this a new Francesco? What the fuck? He just yelled at me a few minutes ago before I went to get the tea. “There is no need to apologize. He simply added to the wounds you caused me. He isn't at fault.” I said, looking away trying to avoid his pity gaze. “Will you keep quie

26 ~ Who Dares To Save You?

BrindaWe willed our legs faster towards the parked truck behind the blue painted building ahead of us. Francesco had informed us earlier that a truck would be leaving for Marshall's hideout at exactly one in the morning. Getting to the truck, which was already moving slowly, Bullet hit the back of the truck and ensured the door opened with a little sound so as not to attract the drivers. Just when we were about to climb into the truck, it came to a halt. We stared at each other for a while, prepared for the worst. We stilled our bodies when we heard footsteps approaching us. I tightened my hold on the knife in my hand as I faced the left while Bullet concentrated on the right side. Then, I heard a grunt from Bullet's side. Before I could think of assisting her, another man showed up in front of me and tried to hit me on the back of my head. We locked hands and we started fighting. I hit him quite a number of times on the jaw before I used an iron rod behind me to render him unc

27 ~ I Can Only See Destruction

BrindaSeeing Marshall stand in front of me again, the strength I had gathered all these while just drained out of my body. Sweat glistened on my brow and my heart couldn't stop beating fast like a freight train. “How is this possible? I pushed you myself.” There was a rapid vibration in my voice. He shot me a sarcastic glance as he said, “That was what you think. Yes, you did push me off the cliff but… Here I am. Ta-da! You must have hit rock bottom.” “Brinda… Don't fall for it. He is trying to trap you.” Bullet said with a tone devoid of emotion but my mind was faraway from where I was. Is this the same person who promised that I would get over these same men? “Brinda!” Bullet's voice came cracking like thunder, shaking the air. She shoved me to the left and a few seconds later, I heard her grunting.As I turned, I saw Alice behind me. Her face was twisted in a snarl. Her hands, raised slightly above my head and she was ready to make me her prey. I shot her a deadly glance and

28 ~ A Devil In My Hell

Brinda“This is a toast to a victory well deserved. I'm proud of you both. And note that, you both are free to ask me whatever you want.” Francesco winked at me, his eyes sparkling with mischief. I knew what his intentions towards me were but I won't give in. Instead, he would pay for his sins.We clink our glasses and we all gulped the contents down our throats. We finished eating and Bullet presented the crypt key to Francesco whose eyes widened in surprise. “Now, the time I have been waiting for has come.” Francesco's voice was lower than we spoke, his eyes danced around the box as he collected it from Bullet. It felt as though it had been his life's longest and biggest dream. Only time will tell. He has achieved his aim already and so will I achieve mine. He tapped my shoulder gently and I shifted my head to his direction. He stared at the box for some time before he stretched his hands towards me. “Take it.” He ordered, his gaze commanding and unrelenting. I also stretched

29 ~ Please, Fall For The Devil

Brinda Francesco pushed me to the bed and he slowly climbed over me till his face was almost into mine. I moved my head away from his direction. It was then he grabbed my right cheek and pulled my face back to face him. A mischievous smile played across his lips then he brought out his tongue which made me wonder what he had in mind with it. “Are you trying to seduce me now?” I whispered, my breath brushing against his face and I felt the heat giving how close we were. “Please, fall for the devil. He loves you.” Francesco's voice came out thick, his words running together. “Or don't you want to fall in love with the devil?” He asked after thirty seconds of silence. “I hate the devil. How can I fall for him?” I replied, my gaze fixed on him. “Then, show me how much you hate the devil.” His words melted into my ears. I hate you to the extent that I am already counting the number of days you have left. By the time you die, I will hate you more. “Vuol dire che il mio cuore batte s

30 ~ The Devil's Dark Side

Brinda I held onto the briefcase in my right hand like my life depended on it as I moved around the people finding their way to their different destinations on the streets. The past few days of my life have been nothing but hell. Francesco wouldn't control the devil inside him and I had been a pawn to his dark side. All he did was to punish me just for trying to seduce him. I am bothered with two things though. One, he hasn't asked for the crypt key nor has he taken a step that is hideous because I have kept my eyes on him the whole fucking time. Two, there has been no attack or signs of Marshall even while I tried to track him down. Where could he be hiding? I glanced at the timer in my head. Just five minutes left. I have to deliver the goods in the briefcase and leave the area quickly. As I turned to the street on the left, I was greeted by the faint smell of alcohol that rented the air but I kept a straight face and remained vigilant. I noticed a bungalow with a red door as
