ISABELLA'S POVAfter hours of locking myself up in my room afraid of facing Alessandro again, I got tired and was ready to damn whatever will happen and I finally stepped out of my room. Dominique wasn't still back and Mattia happened to have retired to his room. I stood for a few seconds before Alessandro's door wondering if I should go in or not. Each time I stuck out a finger to knock I see his angry face glaring at me and my hand will automatically shrivel. "Get out!!!" His voice kept re-echoing in my head. No, I can't go in there. I went to Mattia instead. "Errm, could you check up on him…I mean your boss?" He tilted his head and looked at me suspiciously. "Why? I think you are the only person he would like to see now…" he smirked. I sighed, "I doubt…""Why? Did something happen while I was out?"What's the need telling him things he could probably never be able to solve. "Well, just go check on him and see if he is okay." I insisted. "Nope. You should go check if you
WRITER'S POV"Lure him to that table over there…" Lorenzo nodded to the table under the light in the bar downstairs. They had chosen a noisy and busy bar Incase an unexpected events comes up. He felt his revolver sitting pretty well underneath his pants. Whatever game Alessandro might be playing, he will make sure to burst open his skull if he showed his face. The bar has an upper section made for the very important guests. Some played snookers while others drank, smoke and smooched with some skinny looking women. Lorenzo and Tino sat at the far corner where they observed every movement entering and leaving the bar and especially at the table they had kept specially for their unknown guest. Their plan was to make sure it wasn't a trap and then put whoever shows up (the informant) under hostage while watching every of his movement.Lorenzo kept on glancing at his wrist watch. It was already minutes past the time they agreed on with the informant but no one was showing up. "Try that
ALESSANDRO'S POVI opened my eyes to brightness. I felt unusually relaxed. Strange. I had slept longer than I have ever done in my many years on earth since I became a mafia killer. My body felt free and my bones relaxed. Slowly the events of the previous days started to replay in my head.Shit! I remember slipping into my bathtub to have a bath and then dozing off into the bathtub. Voices…yes I heard voices…no, it was one person's voice. Isabella???I remember her lifting me out of the tub and helping me back into the room. Then I remembered yelling at her when she had mentioned my mother. Now that my head felt clearer I felt bad yelling at her. I sighed and forced myself to sit up. "Come in…" I said to whoever it was knocking on my door. I hoped it was Isabella. Then I would get a chance to apologize for yelling at her.Mattia walked in instead. "Boss, you look better than you were two days ago…How do you feel?""Days? How long have I been here?" I asked, shocked. "Two and ma
*NIGHT*ISABELLA'S POVMy heart nearly sank into my belly when I saw him walking out of his room as I was carrying his meal to his room. He looked like he just got back from a much needed vacation. I could smell the scent of his wash soap even from a distance. He must have had his bath before coming down. His hair, although a bit overgrown, still looked clean and fresh. I wondered what it would feel like dipping and twisting my fingers around the shiny strands but the memory of how he yelled at me made the whole sweet feeling turn into bile. "Oh, you are awake…" I was able to finally say.He said a few words I didn't catch clearly as all I wanMy heart started to pound heavily against my chest with each step I hear him take closer to me. He rounded me and stopped right in my front. I pushed my face down avoiding his gaze. "You have been avoiding me ever since I woke up. Even now. Is there something going on, I mean is there anything wrong?" He asked me. Gosh, how could he ask so in
ISABELLA'S POVI felt like I'm awake yet I felt like I was dreaming at the same time. Something kept giving me a nice feeling. I felt my closed eyelids and forced it to open but I quickly shut them back as the sharp rays that filtered into the room through the opened windows hit my eyes. I let out a soft moan and rolled over to the other side of the bed, away from the rays and then I opened my eyes. A heavy blanket covered my body up to my stomach region. An unfamiliar blanket? I quickly looked around me. An unfamiliar bed too. Where the hell am I? When I looked up, my eyes caught my brazier hanging on the arm of a chair and in a flash the memories of the previous day struck me. Every damn moment of it! "Oh shit…" My hands flew to my face. Where is my dignity…oh shameless me…Me and Aless…I grabbed the cover at once, lifted it up and peeked into it. I was dressed in pyjamas bigger than me. I needed not to be told it belonged to Alessandro. I heard steps approaching the room. G
WRITER'S POV"Oh damn it! These bastards should fuvking stay out of my damn life!" Lorenzo cursed. It was yet another beep of his phone and no doubt he knew it would be those that have bound him in chains. Chief Alegra. He sleepily reached for his phone on the drawer and got hold of it. Once he got hold of it, he silenced it and threw it carelessly on the bed without caring as much as checking the message. Seconds later his phone started to vibrate signifying a call this time around. His teeth clenched. He grudgingly picked up the phone and rightly as he suspected it was chief Alegra calling. He swiped the answer button. "Chief, I understand we are working together but can you fucking let me get some sleep? Do you and your boys have to blow this damn phone off…""I'm in your house. Open the door." He heard a voice say and clink, the call ended. "What?"He scrambled out of the bed. "Right now? In my house? Why?"Lorenzo hurriedly put on his clothes and went to the door. Truly chi
WRITER'S POVDominique sat on one of the sofas in the living room. He kept a keen eye on Mattia as the clock ticked in his head as he waited for the moment.Alessandro who had been in his room the whole time starts coming out of his room. "Video game anyone?" He asked with a smirk. He always won them whenever they played. "Sure, I'm in. I promise, I'm winning this time." Mattia said. He had a determined look on his face. Alessandro let out a mocking short laugh. Dominique cursed under his breath. This was the wrongest time. "You in? Dominique?" Alessandro motioned to him. "Urh no," he declined. Alessandro and Mattia start to play video games. Dominique was beginning to get uneasy. They must be ready and waiting for him by now. The people he was doing business with. He already informed them he would lure Mattia and Alessandro out to them today. He kept glancing at his wrist watch and looking towards where Mattia and Alessandro were playing the video game. If he didn't act now,
ALESSANDRO'S POVIt has been days of perfect peace. Seeing Isabella everyday that I wake up makes me happy and at peace. Sometimes she wakes in my arms and other times she insists on sleeping in her room. My insomnia surprisingly reduced to a great length. I stopped having nightmares of my mother being stabbed and other nightmares generally stopped to a point. Life started to become meaningful to me and above all, I began to see life in a different approach. Isa and I went on short road trips, shopping and anywhere she wanted while being wary of bumping into Chief Giovanni or any of his men. But I wanted more. I wanted to leave freely and not hide from anyone. But as far as chief Giovanni and Lorenzo lives, I knew I would know not peace. And most importantly I wanted to find my real mother. Not my step mother but my real mother. Ever since I began to make money, I have searched for her but my search was slowed down for the fact that I had very little information about my mother.
