It is by this time of the year that the mafia annual ball held. When mafias from different countries came together and wined and dined together, leaving their differences aside, leaving their weapons at home and being at peace with each other. Each year the hosting duties fall on any random mafia, bringing the party to their home and having other mafias fly into that country to attend.It was not a mandatory attendance but not attending it makes one stand out as a threat and could be treated as such by other mafias that attend because they feel like if one cannot let go of their grievances for a few hours, then they are a threat to everyone around them.This time, the French mafia hosted the event. Ever since Madame Chantelle became the Donna of the French mafia, she brought a different style with her, a classier style and she had a knack for throwing memorable parties so when the job fell on her, every other mafia was prepared to show up in style.The hall bustled with elegantly dres
The wind picked up outside as the sky was still trying to decide wether to release the rain that had gathered up or to switch things up and turn the sun a notch higher. While the sky was being indecisive, Harry McIntyre had already decided that he would spend the day in the arms of a woman that was in no way Freya.The house was already quiet, with his miscreants gone as he'd like to call them, he had the freedom to womanize and stay out late on occasions.The lady's moans rose high in the apartment as Harry probably gave it to her how she wanted it if her response was anything to go by.Admist her moans, a phone rang but in the throes of passion, it was ignored. Harry McIntyre had not yet reach his peak and God forbid that he pauses what he regards as something important for a building call that could even be his mother inlaw being the nuisance that he knew her to be, at least in his life.The call came in again and instead of allowing himself to get angry and stop, he got more passi
The garden had an earthy smell to it after the rain. Even if it was just a drizzle, once water from the skies touch the soil, it releases a sweet smell, a calming smell that can keep anybody at peace.Dahlia sat on the moist garden ground, admiring flowers and inhaling their sweet smell as she lost herself in the warm cocoon of nature's embrace.Rudolfo came into the garden, a big mango fruit in his hand as he watched his little sister. Whenever he set his eyes on her he felt a pang of sadness and immense guilt. He felt sad for Dahlia because he knew that she will never remain the same, that she had seen the cruelty of this world too early in life. He felt sad for her because she took the death of their brothers the hardest, woke up drenched in sweat and tears and has panic attacks when approached by an adult male that is not him. He felt sad because he knew that the innocent Dahlia had been lost to Christian's cruelty.Guilt is a dangerous feeling that has a poisonous effect because
“Hey”, Amina smiled widely at Freya who returned the smile.“What's that?”, Freya nodded at the baking pan in the girls hands.“Biscuits. I baked biscuits. Wanna try some?”, Amina replied, bouncing on the balls of her heels.Freya narrowed her eyes on her and grabbed one from the pan and tasting it.“This is good”, Freya moaned mid chew, nodding her head approvingly.“Used some diy recipe I copied off YouTube once”, Amina beamed, taking one for herself.“I like it. You know, it's good to have someone who doesn't hate me and I don't hate here”, Freya sat down.“Mmhmm, you make work a tad bit easy”, Amina sassed, earning an amused eyeroll from Freya.“Mr lover boy is not coming today”, Amina stated.“And who is Mr lover boy?”, Freya decided to play coy, knowing fully well that Amina was referring to Eben.The girl had been hounding her to spill some juicy details since the last time Eben paid a visit and she did not waste a second before telling her about Christian's threat.“Bennie boo
Lauryn sat before a huge table, marvelled at the plethora of food spread over the long twelve seater dining table. Zach and Pippa too. The children giggled as they looked around the huge table, having never sat at a table that big and seen food that much.It had been a whole day since they were rescued by whomever rescued them and Lauryn was yet to see any signs of danger. It had taken hours of the woman huddled up with her grandchildren before trying to fall asleep but when she did, her body gave into the need to sleep the adrenaline off. It was such a relief to wake up with her grandkids still in her arms.“You're not hungry?”, That deep voice that could only belong to Alan spoke up.He came into sight, in all his formal glory, sporting a black dress shirt that was neatly tucked into a black dress pants.The three of them stared at him, causing him to squirm a little at the attention of two children and their granny who looked like she couldn't trust him one bit….well.“Hi”, Zach pu
"We found another rat. He has been stealing information and selling to a group of rogues. They call themselves the 'outlaws'", Eben reported to Christian as they both walked the Halls of the gigantic mansion of the American mafia castle. "Outlaws you say?", Christian stopped when they were both outside, waiting for a car to pull around. Eben noded his head. "Let's make an example out of them then", Christian jumped into the car along with even and the car pulled out of the long circular driveway. Christian Gerrard, a real devil that one. Contrary to his name, he makes hell look stupid and must have been a tyrannical maniac in his previous life, one could say that he is the main reason why the American mafia became the most feared mafia in the underworld since five years he became the Don. One would think he waited patiently for his old man to breathe his last before ascending the mafia throne and they would be right, except that his old man was not the previous Don of the American
Two grown adults, a man and a woman rounded each other in a steel cage, blood smeared across their faces as they growled at each other. The crowd outside erupted in cheers and screams at the thrill of someone killing someone.A fight to death. The worst type of test and the last one that is needed to be inducted into the Hell Hall fraternity. If you managed killed your opponent in the 'last supper' as named by the intending members of hell hall fraternity, you will gain the lowest rank in Hell Hall which to outsiders, was one of the highest ranks one could attain, that is after being trained for five years.The man sneered at the woman and and lunged at her but she skillfully doged him and landed a brass knuckle aided punch to his chest, making him groan and growl at her."That the best you have, big boy?", She taunted him."Small always wins against big but….", She started but stopped to dodge one of his hits."You will only agree in death", she tutted and landed a roundhouse kick, s
The city felt more full than usual but any observant person could tell that it is this time of the year, in any country that a city fills up to the brim. Vacationers, tourists, families, work and so on.Deck of card sees a city burst to the seams, with thousands of people coming from all over the world, some with their families. Now the government could complain about this annual meeting but the kind of revenue that deck of cards brings to a country, makes it a dream come true. Government officials call it Vendetta annual meeting but amongst the cult members, they know the real name.Sydney, Australia got lucky this time and within the last three weeks, the city hotels had been fully booked and the markets were selling like crazy.Inside one of these prestigious hotels, Wilbur's snore reverberated within the suite he got with Amina and Zayn, one would think there was a tired pig nearby."For a dangerous man he sure snores louder than a train horn can try, Jesus Christ", Amina grumble
