Marcello, after everything that had been happening, carried his little boy in his arms for the first time, mesmerized by everything the boy did; the little invisible drawing he made on his shirt while he laid his head there, his other hand drape over Marcello shoulder,
"Hey buddy," Jasmine walked in, just from cleaning Serena who was fast recuperating, "He's not giving any trouble is he?"
"He's an angel." Marcello chuckled, "I doubt he even knows what trouble is,"
"You haven't spent any real time with him. He's a minion."
"Minion?"
"Small yellow..." Jasmine notices the confusion on his face, "Wait! You have no idea what Minions are, you've never watched the movie?"
"I don't watch movies anymore Jasmine."
"Who doesn't watch movies? Movies are life, how do you survive?" Just the Marcello's phone rings, he picks it up,

Two and two had been put together. Not only for Dylan but for Jasper and their family too. As Dylan drove a taxi back to the airport, his index finger continuously tapping on the Jasmine's file that laid on his lap. His patience was running thin; he'd gotten so much from Jasper that he wanted to start putting it all into examination; he just couldn't wait to get back to his apartment or at least, a closed location.Everything had became much much clearer even though a few points were still unprocessed. But Dylan couldn't stop himself from replaying Jasper's story in his head,(Flashback)"I had gone to Cameroon upon hearing about Jasmine's disappearance. My sister Jessie had brought it up to me that surrounding the period when Jasmine left home, she'd been talking to her about a man she'd met, a foreigner of Caucasian race and Italian nationality. Apparently, Jasmine had been out with this person on several oc

Nikolai had been with Marcello and Serena for as long as they could all remember. He had been Serena's best friend and first kiss before they'd come to the conclusion that Serena Marchesa wasn't into men. He had trained and fought side by side them in training and battle alike and even though was as deadly as the Marchesa siblings, he had always known deep in him that they hard leadership in their blood and he was willing to follow and serve. He served Serena as her right hand man when she was a spy in the Siciliana while Marcello was on the road for his life.Nikolai was one of those people who always had the world in his mind; he hated staying idle, even mentally for a second so he was always thinking, working strategies, and planning ahead for every and any job he had or knew he would be giving. It was one of those days when he would sit in his apartment, alone, working and simply chilling but mentally still working. His apartment was something only he

How would he help her if he had no idea where she was or how to get there. Jasmine had to work extra time now to get to her goal. She knew for one they were on the outskirts of the big city; she knew not the city and or even of the was one. The place was practically deserted apart from the building they lived in.They'd first been to a beach house, then here. Jasmine knew she had to find a way to get out.She'd fly a helicopter out of the damn place if she had to.Marcello seemed careless of her presence when she walked in on him tearing through a drawer of files."Marcello," she said in an almost whisper tone, he turned to hear with concern looks, "I don't feel so good. I need air. Would you please walk around the place with me?" Marcello expression couldn't do too well to hide his need for denial at that moment, he was busy, he needed to find something urgently; but he also needed to attend to Jasmine. He un

"What happened to you. I met up with Jasper and he told me you weren't going to make it. You were in jail," there was a sense of affirmations about her tone, "What happened?""Would you not let me in first?" His velvety tone was almost causing the hairs on her skin to stand on its end. She hadn't seen another Caucasian adult human being in almost three months, talk less of one as good looking as Dylan Jones."Why were you jailed in the first place?""If only you'd let me in, I'd tell you everything,""I know you were in jail Dylan; in jail for murder. Why should I trust you?"Dylan let out a heavy breath. He never wanted to appear as the bad guy in Jasmine's eyes. He had risked so much for her and couldn't even explain why. This particular thought had been bothering him from day one of him working on her case. He violated security measures just to get deep into her life and help her. Someone was aware: someone had always been aware; and now, he'd b

While some people in the world struggle for survival and luxury, others crave for death and eternal rest. This was exactly the feeling Marcello Marchesa was having. He woke up one day to find the love of his life missing. Something like that had never happened to him. He felt drowsy, weak and nauseous. He noticed the white tube connected from his hand to the infusion stand by his left.Why was he getting infused when he had spent some amazing hours, drinking and raising glasses to life together with the woman he loved who had just accepted to be his eternal lover? What was or rather had happened? Where was Jasmine? So he kept on asking himself and everyone around him.A clear version to answer all these questions was; days prior to this, when he'd been leaving to go back into the city, Jasmine had demanded for some Valium pills to help her sleep. She had willfully deceived him, complaining about insomnia to convince him about getting her the

A wet mist carried by the wind across the seemingly dead forestation that surrounded the cabin flew in through the windows; the mint green curtains dancing along side it. Jasmine sat across a the furniture embedded in white sheets and a folded coloured draping to the side; she smoothing the sheets with her palms, letting the cold air to blow across her face. She heard a vile movement again from the door, but this time, it didn't just stop at the door, it seemed to be pushing open the door. Jasmine scurried to hide behind the bed which barely covered half her figure. But it did provide an easily breakable barricade between her and whoever was going to come through that door. Jasmine grabbed tight the vase of white and red roses that stood on the night stand beside, braced her arm, ready to throw it at them.She flinched in mid action when she saw who walked through the door."Serena?" She dropped the vase back on the nightstand, got on her feet, "My God! Serena, I was-"

How about that?A lot had change. A lot was different about her. Marcello keenly observed the CCTV footage, never shifting his eyes away from her weak form. She had been tortured beyond reason, broken to the bones, he could almost see her sanity; breaking, little cracks and faults, falling apart, bit by bit, but still, she was still holding on. The woman alone had the willpower of a ten strong men. She wouldn't give a slight hint as to where she had hidden the child. He wasn't with any of her family members; not even the extended ones.For the main time, he was moving heaven and earth to find the detective. He had heard from Serena that she was with him when they'd found her, but he had just disappeared."You're going to have to talk to her yourself now. She won't say anything and if I go in there one more time, I might kill her without hesitation.""We cannot kill her.""Why not Marcello? Tell me why. Are you still soft hearted for thi

On the third ring of his business mobile phone, Marcello finally picked up. He had a nostalgic feeling rooted from the time he had to be constant wait for Serena's calls whilst still a fugitive in Cameroon. He brought the device to his ear, scratching the side of his face with his index, a sign that he was nervous."This better be a 'good news, I have found your son call' because if not, I do not see why you're calling me now?""Where is the girl?" Serena's voice could be heard from the other line,"Probably knocked out. You didn't call me to ask about her well-being did you?" He threw his hand into his mop of taper waves atop his head, another sign that his frustration was only growing."No. I need you to be by her and tell me her reaction to the news I'm about to give you right now.""Why? Have you found him?""Just go Marcello!"
