(Mariana)I arrived at the club two days ago and I was welcomed by Janet and Samantha. “Mariana!” Samantha and Janet squealed once I entered my room. They both hopped off the bed and jumped on me, squeezing me tight.“I missed you all too but don’t choke me to death.” I said when their hugs became to tight. They squeezed me harder before letting me go.“I’m so happy you are okay” Janet said.“Me too. We were so scared when we you weren’t back from the hospital for close to two weeks.” Samantha said “I was worried about you too Sam. Did you get hurt?”“Nothing serious. Just a few scratches here and there.”“The bomb blast didn’t reach the hostel either so we were bitge okay but you were so close to it. Thank God you’re okay.”“Yeah me too.” Physically I was okay but I was dying inside. I couldn’t stay here and I couldn’t escape either. I had practically lost all hope at the hospital. The club looked as good as new. Almost like nothing happened here. Samantha said Lorenzo made the wo
(Lorenzo)I was on my way to the club when I received a call. "Speak"I said"Boss we have the girl. She waiting in your private lounge." "Okay, I'm on my way." I said and cut the call. I've been meaning to talk to Mariana since our last argument. I needed to be more calm and reasonable when it came to her but it was easier said than done. All my emotions gets riled up when I'm around her, it's so hard to control it.I pulled up in front of the club and stepped out. Images of the explosion flashed in my head, the rubbles, Giovanni, Marianna. I needed to find the culprit fast. I headed to the private VIP suite which was located at the back of the club. I met the guard at the front of the door. He immediately opened the door for me and I headed straight for my private suite quickly avoiding any form of acquaintances because I wasn't in the mood for pleasantries. I walked into the room and was met with a sight of a sleeping Mariana. She sat on the couch with her hands crossed at the fro
(Mariana)"Is everything okay?" I asked Lorenzo when he was dressing up quickly. After the phone call he received, he looked worried."Something important came up. I have to leave immediately." He said. I just stood there as he rushed around the room picking up pieces of his clothing and putting them on. Once he was done he headed for the door, forgetting I was in the room. But then stopped halfway and turned around to look at me."I'm sorry I have to leave so suddenly," he said, his face apologetic. "Something really came up and I have to get there quickly.""It's fine" I said. I tried to hide my disappointment but I'm sure he saw it on my face. He moved closer to me and covered my face in his palm. He tilted my head fowards and kissed me lightly on the lips. "Don't be upset. I promise we'll continue our conversation immediately I get back. I won't take long." "It's okay" I said, my voice sounding false even in my own ears. " I understand."He looked at me for a moment,as if he wan
(Lorenzo)I arrived at the hospital not too long after Giovanni's call. As I walked through the doors, the familiar smell of antiseptic and floor cleaner hit me. I hated the smell of hospitals, it always made me nauseous. I made my way to the reception desk, my heart pounding in my chest. The receptionist looked up at me."Good morning. How can I help you?" She asked"I'm here to see Margot Garcia." I said"Um hold on. Let me check which room she's in." She went through the paper Infront of her." Mrs Garcia is in room 45. It's just down the hall."" Okay. Thank you." I replied and rushed down the hall. I pushed the door of the room and inside was both Giovanni and Declan. Margot was sitted on her bed, eating while Giovanni faced the window and Declan sat on a chair beside her. I slowly let out a breath of relief. She was okay."You're here" She said and waved at me. "Took you long enough." All the fear I felt slowly turned to anger"Margot! What the hell!" I yelled."Well hello to you
(Marianna)I was seated in the bathroom with my eyes closed as I tried to steady my breathing. My entire body was shaking in fear and disbelief. My mind raced with questions I couldn't get the answers for. Why was Margot keeping tabs on me? Does this mean I wasn't just randomly taken? Does this mean I was targeted and kidnapped? and most of all how did she get her hands on that picture? That picture was a past I had let go of a long time ago, a past that had gone up in flames so how did she get it? Why was she with it? Only one name popped up in my head Lorenzo. He was the only one who could have ordered Margot to do this, she couldn't have done it on her own. But why? I could feel my heart pounding so hard like it was going to pop out of my chest. If it's true and Lorenzo did send Margot the that means he knew everything, that means he knew who I really was and yet….A knock on the door jolted me out of my thoughts."Is anyone in there?" Someone called from the other side of the door
(Lorenzo)"So what are we going to do now" Giovanni said and sipped his bourbon. We were in my study. The doctor had left some minutes earlier after treating our wounds."What else. We need to get back at the blood crust gang." I said,my mind still reeling from the events of the past few hours. Giovanni nodded,his expression grim. "Okay. What do you have in mind." I leaned back in chair, twirling my glass. "Wipe them out. They've been a pain in the ass since all this bullshit began. They are pests and I want them gone, every last one of them.""That's fair. When do you want it to happen?"I gulped down the rest of my drink and placed it on the table. "Tonight.""Tonight?" Declan's eyebrows shot up. "Are you sure that's wise? You're both still recovering from your injuries.""Yeah, Declan has a point. Are you sure we should do this tonight?""Yes. Tonight is perfect because they won't expect us to actually retaliate now. Their guard would be lowered so it's the perfect time to strike
(Mariana)It was another day to be overworked in this depressing club. I stifled a yawn as I mopped the floor. I hadn't been able to sleep because of what I saw in Margot's office. I had nightmares, the bad ones that I thought had been over years ago but seeing that picture revived them again. My thoughts were scrambled with so many questions that I didn't have answers to and I didn't know how I could get them. I couldn't ask Lorenzo, I don't know how he would react if he found out that I knew about him keeping tabs on me. There was no one else I could talk to about it, not Samantha or Janet. "Damn,you look like shit." Janet said. She was on cleaning duty with me today which was kind of rare because we were hardly paired up together. I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable by her presence. Was this some kind of coincidence? or was she purposely placed here because Margot had suspected that I had seen something?"Yeah,I couldn't really get much sleep." I said, stifling a yawn again. "
( Lorenzo)It has been days since the ambush of the Blood crust gang and it has been nothing but quiet. Me and Giovanni were sitted in my office discussing ways to catch the imposter who was messing with me. "What do you think Gio?" I said He shrugged, his expression blank. "What am I supposed to be thinking?" "It's too quiet Giovanni. It feels…off.""Lorenzo you annahliated an entire gang, what do you expect it to be? There was no survivors and even if there was, they won't be stupid enough to come after you.""But still," I tapped my fingers on the table, "I haven't heard anything from BM. No sabotages or form of communication.""Maybe she's taking time to regroup.""She? What makes you think it's a she?""You heard what that guy said, there was a woman who was using Ian to attack us. She was responsible for the sabotages and I'm sure she must have used some tech thingy to alter her voice to sound like Ben."Giovanni had a point. This mystery lady could be the one fucking with me
