Marco opens the door and walks back into the room; he was glad that Elena had not locked him out like he feared she would. The Captain had gone to get some food in the hotel eatery which was a 24/7 open place luckily for them.Well, they had missed dinner as a result of all the drama and had been on the road for hours, so it was just normal for him to be super famished. He didn’t know about Elena but his stomach wouldn’t stop grumbling.Marco closed the door and looked around in search of Elena but she wasn’t in the room, the place was oddly quiet and that made his mind skip, but not as much as it skipped when he noticed the curtains dividing the room from the balcony were floating in the air. It crossed his mind that someone had been through there.“Elena, are you there?” Marco called but there was no response. He dropped the bag of food and drinks and quickly headed for the balcony. He didn’t want to believe that she had escaped throu
Leonardo walks out to the garden very early in the morning as he waits for the patrol team to return. Well, he had sent out men very early to know if the Captain had returned to his house or the station.It had been barely twelve hours since Elena was abducted but it felt like a century to Leo. He had barely gotten any sleep the previous night and she was all that he could think about. Leo began to realize how much he cared about that lady; this was more than just care, maybe he felt more for her, maybe he had things that he should have said to her long ago.He was scared of losing her, so does that mean that he loved her? He began to reminisce on the way her presence made him feel, she was the only thing that made him human and without her, he was a beast, she was the beauty in his story, the only one who’s presence could tame the monster in him.Leo thought about how the past twelve hours had gone, he had already gone back to his prev
There was a knock on the door and Anna groaned before standing up from the bed. “Who do you think it could be?” she asked Jane, who was busy looking through her wardrobe.“I don’t know, but you should check… at least someone has come knocking on your door after days of being alone, you should go and check it out.” Jane replied with intending sarcasm.Anna huffed and shook her head, her best friend was good at this. She headed for the door immediately. “So you still haven’t decided on which dress I should wear today?” she asked with a chuckle.“Oh, I think you should stay in your pajamas all day like you have been doing since you lost your job,” Jane replied yet again in sarcasm and Anna laughed. At least she had someone to make her smile, even if it wasn’t realShe had refused to close down her blog like Baron White requested and so he had terminated her contract with the company. In other words, he had fired her, hoping t
After hours of silence, Marco finally decided to speak. “So are we going to talk about last night or what?” he queried.“Absolutely not, let’s forget that ever happened,” Elena retorted immediately without looking in his direction as if she had been waiting for him to say it.“Great, we should never talk about it. Now that is said and done, which I am very relieved about, can we proceed to why we are here in the first place?” Marco requested and stood up from the couch.Elena pulled the blanket up to fully cover her body. Not like she was still unclad; she had put on her gown back but for some reason, she still felt naked. “And why are we here, Mr. Marco, you brought me here against my will, so you should tell me why we are here,” she replied.Marco groaned. “Come on Elena, don’t make this more difficult than it already is. Make the confession and we both win, you will gain your freedom and I will have my job back,” the ca
Luca walks into the hall with a solemn face and meets Antonio there. “Who called for me? I thought the Boss had skipped town,” he asked in a cold voice, he was obviously still mourning his brother who had been executed in a very painful manner the previous night.“I don’t know, I also got the information that my presence was needed here,” Antonio replied and sighed.“I sent for the both of you,” Lorenzo’s voice sounded as he walked into the hall with Mr. Giovanni.Luca frowned the moment he saw the aged man who had condemned his brother to death. “What is this all about? Has Leo also ordered for my own execution?” Luca queried immediately.“Relax Luca, you are only here for the same reason as Antonio. You are both here because you are capos in charge of equal percentages of men and I need your help,” Lorenzo said calmly as he approached them.“Well, Mr. Giovanni is here, so I guess someone is about to get con
Marco pushed the door open and rushed in immediately. “Come on, we have to leave,” he said loudly and rushed to Elena, dragging her up by the arm.“Wait, you can't just drag me around like that… where are we going now?” Elena grumbled and pulled her arm away from him.Marco Vincenzo brought out the gun from his pocket immediately. “Do not make this difficult for me, we have been found and we need to leave immediately. They are coming here as we speak and you are coming with me, willingly or unwillingly,” he stated clearly.“Yeah, of course abduct me again… so much for being a policeman,” Elena grumbled as he took her hand again and gently dragged her out of the door. Well, she didn’t hesitate any more but he still held on to her.“Where are you going? The elevator is the other way,” Elena yelled as they had taken the wrong direction. She might have not come out since when they arrived but she could still remember the way s
The warehouse was dark and abandoned; Marco closed the door and dragged Elena to a cover of sacks on the far end. The hall had long square shaped pillars lined on two sides in the middle, there were a few sacks and cartons packed in it.“Don’t say I didn’t warn you, Leonardo will do things worse than death to you,” Elena mumbled as he made her hide behind the sacks at the far end of the hall. Their position gave them an advantage over the intruders.“Just stay quiet and don’t do anything silly. Your boyfriend isn’t some god, and if he doesn’t stop coming after me, then I would just have to kill him.” Marco said in a cold voice.Even though he sounded tough, and unwavering, Elena could sense the fear in him. He was about to go face to face with the god of guns, the serial assassin, Assassino Del Fratello himself. To make it worse, Leo also had Mateo with him.There was no way Marco would outlast Leo alone, speak more of Mat
“Are you alright?” Leo asked immediately and cupped her cheek with one palm. “Did he hurt you?” he added and looked at Marco with hateful eyes; he still had the gun in his other hand and so the cop needed to be careful or he would use it.She nodded. “Yes, I am fine, but you don’t look good. Your hand is bleeding,” she half-yelled as she caught sight of it.“Yeah, the motherfucker shot me,” he groaned and looked back at Mateo with disbelief and contempt in his eyes.“Why would he turn on you?” Elena asked with a look of curiosity.“Well, there has been a conspiracy. Lorenzo has overthrown me as Don in my absence, I would rip his throat out and watch him suffer to death,” he spat.“Okay, calm down… I would go and get you a bandage, Marco has some in his car” she said and headed for the door.“Be careful, Elena.” He uttered and she nodded as she ran out.Leo sighed and watched her l
