In Albertrosso's large meeting hall, sitted were his personal and close associates with whom they discussed issues that has to do with the inner circle and the five dreaded mafia lords in the mafioso world.Such issues include the private trade in drugs, political talks, rival clans, and operations that went well and those which did not.Right now he had called on them to discuss his interest in running as a candidate for the upcoming election of the number one sit in the country- the presidency.The others agreed that Albertrosso has proven himself trustworthy enough for them to give him their support which he will need to mount that position.The five of them are among the most feared mafia lords in the Mafiosos world. Stepping on one of them means stepping on all. So no one amongst the ordinary and mafia elites dared to challenge or come against any of them.For they know that a fight against one, means that you have to deal with all five of them including Albertrosso himself; whic
Ava woke up to bright morning rays falling over her face through the window adjacent to the bedShe tried to open her eyes but squinted due to the light which was too strong for her eyes.After a while, she tried opening them again, slowly. A splitting headache threatened to break her skull open. Where is she? She wondered. A strong familiar smell wafted through the air to her nose. Cami lo papa.She tried to sit up immediately but memories of all that had happened the night before came rushing back to her."Ouch," she cried out, falling back into the bed again as the pounding in her head wouldn't stop.She glanced around. Nothing has changed much. Everything was almost as she had known them but for the slight difference in the scanty furniture arrangement.The old grey armchair still stood by the corner. It looks quite worn out than before, with many several holes.The mini-size table made of wood and metal which is gradually corroding still sat right there before the table.She not
"Boss, the plan went awry. We are so sorry for letting.." The spy guard who was assigned the role to spy on the First Time Orphanage Home tries to report."What do you mean the went awry!?" Thundered Xavier "Why are you lots a bunch of incompetent silly monkeys?! No difference, whatsoever!" He added, fuming.Since he placed spies in the Daily Newspaper Company where Ava used to work, he took the very first smart step in his life by scheduling a meeting with the Mother General of First Time Orphanage Home.Mother Theresa, is a woman of substance. She joined the Home not so much to care for the children as she cared for making some more bucks for herself!Spilling millions of dollars her way, Mother Theresa was not only willing to give tips on Ava's whereabouts but to hand her over to him once she appears.Xavier having done background research on Ava, resolved that she may likely seek refuge in the only place that may seem safest to her- the Orphanage.That was the reason why he met wi
This chapter is a prelude to what happened before Ava encountered Mother-General in the orphanage home.Drexel POV"Where the f*ck did this bitch tossed her phone" I cursed under my breath, frustrated to the bone marrow.I have no idea where Ava is. Tyler is losing consciousness slowly. And I am gradually losing my sanity.My phone buzzed. I flipped it over and check the screen "I WILL BE THERE IN A JIFFY" the popped-up notification read.I inhaled deeply. Before I breathe out, the phone began to ring."Yes Doc," I said coldly into the phone."Sorry, I had a little work to tidy up, but I am done right now and on my way as we speak," Amelia said from the other side.I grunted a reply."Are you hurt!?" She added quickly.I brought the phone down and hung up. Not that I did not hear the question.I normally do not entertain such pep talk with virtually everyone.I find it even offensive that she dared to ask me in such an informal manner.The car got to the front of my mega villa and cam
Drex POVWith the speed at which I drove, I arrived at the orphanage in not less than forty minutes, which was normally an hour's drive.The black entrance was closed. I intend to honk but decided against it on second thought, bringing the car to a halt.By now my head felt woozy and all I wanted to do right then was to turn the orphanage upside down in search of Ava.Opening the car door, I jumped down, jam it close and glance around.I could sense the presence of some companies.They are already here. Anger and rage stir up inside me. How could Albertrosso have stooped so low to the level of bringing his spies around here?Is the reason for wanting Ava gone, that serious!?Somehow I know deep down that until I get to the bottom of this there was no way I can take the bull by the horn yet.For now, preventing any harm from coming to that woman is a primary priority.I reached the entrance gate, and from all indications, it is locked from the inside, still, I pushed with my hands.It
Drex POVWhen I got home I immediately carried her bridal style into the houseAmelia stood watching me at the doorWhen I entered she did not move one bit"Come attend to her" I ordered coldly in anger.I sense her hesitation, but she followed me anyways.In the emergency room, I placed her on the bed gently."What happened, Drex?" She asked, curiosity written all over her face"Later" I whispered patiently gesturing for her to get to work.She removed Her upper top leaving her with a tiny bralette revealing pale white skin.I gulped. Amelia looked up at me and looked down againGingerly, she removed the unprofessionally done plaster on her head, clean it, and did a neat oneHer arms seem to be covered with bruises, she cleaned them and did another plasterThe servants were on standby, a worried look on their faces.When Amelia finished, I ordered Mrs. Donovan to help clean her up herselfShe finished up and began to call the servants to come to take Ava away to one of the roomsI st
Chapter #"Drex"A familiar voice called out to him. Without looking back he could already make out whose it is."Amelia" he answered in an icy tone, not turning his head. Drex knows what she wants at this moment.Amelia ever since Drex stormed inside the house with Ava in his arm, have been straining her mind to figure out what happened out thereFor one thing she had hoped the mafia boss would never find Ava again leg alone bring her to his house.But here they are! She has to find out how he got to know her whereabout within such short notice.Drex heard her approached him quickly then someone grabbed his left arm.Startled he turned his head softly and his eyes met Amelia's.How dare her!? He growled in his head."What's going on? How did you find her?" Amelia asked in an urgent tone.Drex was silently as he slowly brush her hand off him, his eyes still fixated on hers"Watch what you touch, Amelia" he said. "And what's with that tone of disappointment I hear in your voice? At lea
"Fetch me Xavier. I mean now!" Albertrosso yelled into the phone in his hand and hung up in rage.He has entrusted his son with a task for the first time and is hoping he will see this as an opportunity to prove himself as worthy of wielding the sit of leadership of the Malgavio clan after him.Xavier has done nothing impressive for three whole days."Damn it!" He pounded a fist on the chair arm angrily and rubbed a finger on his creased forehead in a circling motion, his eyes closed.Minutes later, Xavier came rushing in, adjusting his tie "Sorry father, I am late" he uttered breathlessly.Xavier knows how much the mafia lord keeps tag of time when he ask to see someone.From his calculation, he is five minutes late and he knew he will be punished for that.Albertrosso groaned under his breath. He held his bucket hat, staring daggers at Xavier, removing it and placing it on the porcelain table before him, he stood up without a single word.Xavier is beside himself with fear, Albertro
