Chapter 32
For the first time since Moira came to Angelo Manzini’s mansion, Angelo returned home on Friday night, breaking what Moira believed was some sort of mysterious tradition that was somehow connected to the mafia boss’s ‘shrine room’.
“Come in, it’s open.” Moira responded to a knock on her door, assuming it was Skinner coming to check on Kevin. It was about 9:30PM and she was on her laptop, catching up on that she’d missed on social media and the news in general; Kevin sound asleep across the room on the sleeper sofa.
“Good, you’re still awake. I was hoping I didn’t have to wake you up.” Angelo said, sticking his head first before entering. “Skinner told me you had trouble getting Kevin to sleep in his own room. I had to come and check on him just to be sure he’s OK.”
“Yeah, some fight the little guy put up. I had to step i

When one stands up to a tyrant and gives him a piece of one’s mind, one expects the tyrant to hit back where it really hurts; not only to set an example but also to flex his muscle. That was exactly what Moira expected following her impromptu rant in Angelo’s face.The very next morning, Angelo took Kevin away without explaining where he was taking him. Moira couldn’t even press him for an explanation for fear of making the situation even worse. She couldn’t ask Skinner about it either, considering how their discussion ended the previous day. Tension suddenly returned to the mansion with a vengeance and all week, fear induced all sorts of wild imaginations in Moira’s head.What if Angelo took Kevin away so the boy wouldn’t witness my grisly murder? What if Angelo and Skinner are planning to rape and then kill me, now that Kevin is out of the way? What if…“Boss sa

“Pardon me, Sister Gustav but I’m a little confused. What kind of facility do you run here?” Moira held onto the door handle once they were inside the building; forcing the nun, who was still tugging her by the hand, to stop and turn around.“Didn’t Angelo tell you where he was taking you?” Sister Gustav smiled as she patted Moira’s arm. “This is a privately run orphanage, CHANCES… I named it myself when we started the project.”“And you run it? Is it part of your church program or something?” Moira wouldn’t let go of the door handle despite Sister Gustav’s gentle tugs on her other arm.“You have no idea about this place at all, do you? I just assumed that since Angelo brought you, you already knew.” Sister Gustav finally let go of Moira’s hand.“Knew what? I hope you’re not using these

The rest of the weekend, Moira secretly scrutinised the goings on at CHANCES orphanage, particularly how Angelo and Sister Gustav related with the children. It was almost unbelievable to her that the two were genuinely into helping the kids with no hidden agenda.However, reality seemed to be proving her wrong. All she saw throughout the weekend was a bunch of happy kids who were genuinely thrilled to see a man they seemed to adore; and a nun whom they respected for taking good care of them daily. But above all, Moira fell in love with the kids and the orphanage itself, so much that when Sunday finally came and it was time to return to Angelo’s mansion, it was difficult for her to leave.“Why don’t you just stay there full time?” Moira asked as they pulled into the driveway back at the mansion.“I can’t. I have work demands during the week and I don’t want them to interfere with

Moira’s special treats completely transformed the weekends at CHANCES. By the third weekend of her mouth-watering pastry treats, not only the kids were looking forwards to her and Angelo’s arrival on Friday afternoon, even sister Gustav was counting down hours and minutes to their arrival. Moira became the new darling; loved by all at CHANCES not just for her pastries but for her many other little surprises that she kept rolling out for the kids.“I always knew there was something missing in Angelo’s life. There is a lot he has been holding back until now. Thank you for making him a better man.” Sister Gustav said as she helped Moira prepare a special Sunday lunch.“Don’t you think you’re giving me a little too much credit? You know Angelo does exactly what Angelo wants to do. He is who he is at any particular time because that’s who he wants to be; I’ll not take credit or responsib

It’s sometimes easy to conceal and suppress infant feelings that develop within the heart. But when a third party, or the one for whom the feelings are developing, notices what’s supposed to be hidden deep within the heart, that’s exactly when the proverbial cat is said to be out of the bag.For Moira Viscoli, this little situation affected her on both sides of the coin. Though she was shocked to learn that there were such clear signs of Angelo’s interest in her, she also became worried that her own secret feelings would also come to the fore soon. To her, entertaining even remote admiration thoughts of Angelo was like selling out her own soul. She preferred to believe that her admiration was only temporary; emanating from the shock of finding out about a few of his good deeds.But as they say, feelings have a mind of their own. And Moira, despite her dogmatic dislike for the ill-reputed Angelo Manzini, was about to f

Despite how much she tried avoiding it, Moira had to admit that she had misjudged Angelo’s character based on hear-say. The wisdom in Sister Gustav’s words of advice suddenly became apparent upon that admission.… remove those blinkers from your eyes so you can start seeing him for who he really is…, Moira realised that indeed, she had had blinkers on her eyes; and they were only just starting to fall off.Moira had witnessed something that, perhaps, nobody else in the city had ever witnessed; or would even believe possible. She had seen Angelo crying. And surprisingly for Moira, Angelo was getting emotional about a matter that a man of his supposed ruthless character would have been expected not to even flinch over. Perhaps Angelo really isn’t the monster I thought he was, after all; Moira wondered.After about fifteen minutes, Angelo finally returned to Moira’s ro

For the days that followed Angelo’s shock opening up about how he violently lost his family, Moira could hardly concentrate on anything. On one hand, she could not get herself to fully comprehend how Angelo could carry on with an almost normal life after such a loss; and on the other, she struggled to understand how he could have just let those evil men go free. For a man of his reputation and resources, surely Angelo couldn’t have just let it slide just like that; Moira imagined.But one thing about Angelo’s story still didn’t make sense to Moira.“I asked you a question the other day; and you just brushed me off without an answer.” Moira said as she and Angelo walked up the stairs to their bedrooms after dinner.“What was the question? You sure ask a lot of questions, in case you haven’t noticed; I struggle to keep up sometimes.” Angelo grinned.“The kids and everything you do for all those people you told me about.. why do you keep it secret when you can use it to clean up your rep

Lying awake in bed, confusion reigned in Moira’s mind. Recent discoveries that the man she’d considered a social misfit all her life was in fact somewhat of a hero wouldn’t sit well in her psych.For as long as she could remember, stories of the Manzinis’ evil deeds were told as crude advice to wayward youths wherever there were adults with a semblance of social decency. Growing up, it was impossible not to believe that Manzini was actually the devil’s surname. As an adult, those beliefs had been cemented in Moira’s head by what she kept hearing about the notorious Angelo Manzini. And the day Angelo invaded and hijacked her wedding to the love of her life was only a more personalised confirmation of an age old legend of Angelo’s notoriety.Over the months she had stayed in Angelo’s home, Moira had noticed nothing but even more confirmation of the shadiness of the mafia boss’ dealings.
