Violet's POV “I did it because I wanted you to survive, your father was a good man, even if he was caged in this dark world, he always told me about his family, he told me about you, he told me about how he kept his Mafia affairs a secret from you and the rest of your family, he killed the Underboss’s father, and ran away, leaving Don's body in the Car, that's why they kidnapped you,” Mrs. Maria explained.“Do you think my father would kill the Don or whatever you call him? What's even a Don? What's the meaning of this Don thing?” I asked.“It's the undisputable king of a particular outfit in the Mafia, he rules over the, the associates, the soldiers everyone under the outfit submits to him,” “Okay, so why do you think my father will kill him?” I nodded, cocking my head for her to continue, my expression solemn.“Keep your voice down, if anyone hears our conversation we are in trouble, I don't know if your father truly did it, because he ran away,” I felt heartbroken at those words s
Violet's POV“I need your help to leave this place,” I dropped the bombshell.She shook her head frantically as though she didn't agree with my opinion.“Please, I know it won't be easy, but you know these people better than I do, please help me, I need to see my family, my cousin, Ava I was supposed to see her three days ago she stays here in New York she'll be worried sick about me, everyone will be looking for me, I can't let the boss know about anyone related to me, he'll kill them for fun, please help me,” I kept pleading and convincing her.“Look, I cannot help you sneak out of this province, we have CCTV cameras all over the house, and this house is so big, before you even get to the gate you're already caught and if they discover I'm your cohort I and my daughter will get killed,” she cried out.I let out a deep breath of frustration.“ I can't be here…..,” my eyes refilled with tears, “I need to leave, I need to see my family,” I say, twisting my fingers that rested on my lap.
(Third person POV)"It's here" the Uber driver informed Olivia as they got to the location she ordered."Okay," she quickly alighted from the car and walked to the entrance of the building before her.She reached the doorstep and breathed in and out as she reached for the door and knocked. She knocked and waited but it seemed like she didn't knock well enough, this wasn't the first time she was doing this but this was going to be her last.She closed her eyes and raised her hands to knock when the door opened. She quickly opened her eyes to see a handsome man with a nice body built with a towel wrapped around his waist. Standing before her, she gave him a quick once over and looked down."Umm….Good evening," Olivia stuttered.He smirked, "Come in," he said as he opened the door for her to enter and she entered. He looked outside to see if anyone was with her and he closed the door."You're…." He was about to confirm that what he received was what he ordered, but Olivia cut his speech
(Third person POV)Olivia lived a lonely and simple life, with not many friends, and no boyfriend, she was in her own world, and she didn't bother people with her problems, her mother made her feel she was bad luck and at some point, she believed it because nothing worked the way she wanted.Her mother always blamed her for her misfortune, she lacked the feeling of love in her life, and she was getting accustomed to not being loved, as the people she gave chances of love like her mother and first-ever boyfriend didn't return it, but she never gave up in trying to make her mother love her, because she yearned for her love and she was the only family she knew and had.She had never seen her father, she didn't know what he looked like, his name, or his occupation, her mother never disclosed any information about her father to her telling her she didn't deserve to know.After crying so hard, Olivia had some sleep for the night, it's not the first time, but it always hurts.THE NEXT DAYOli
(Third person POV)“No Ma'am, no one harassed me, I just don't want to render escort services anymore,” she said politely, but her Madam was seeing it the wrong way.She believed Olivia was making plans to leave her bar and she didn't want that at all costs, one thing she didn't know was that Olivia couldn't even leave the job because she had school loans that were yielding interests, she had not even gotten into her mother's debts that one was even at the top of the table, she had other debts too to pay that her earning didn't even contribute much to.“I think I even made a mistake changing your shift to night, Olivia please go I'm not granting that wish,” she said shooing Olivia, but her mind was made up she didn't leave.“Ma'am, please I have not requested anything like this from you, I appreciate all you've done for me honestly, I know you think I want to leave, but I promise you I'm not leaving, I give you my word, I'll keep on working here,” Olivia kept pleading, she knew behind
(Third person POV)Everyone in Ava's family was invested in the movie they were watching, while she went to her room to ease herself.BOOM! Their door opened, and they aggressively turned to see who would be crazy to do that, but their expression resolved when they saw five men on black with guns barge into their house.“If anyone here moves, I'll shoot,” one of the men warned them as they tried to run away on seeing them.They were all shuddering in fear, sweat began to form on their foreheads, they were terrified and scared, really scared.Ava on the other hand was peeping through the toilet's keyhole, she was also scared, so she stayed quiet in the bathroom where she was.“Where is the phone?” One of the men asked pointing the gun at Ava's mother.“Here,” she said, handing them the phone, she was in possession of the phone at the time when they entered.“How dare you steal from me?” One of the men gritted through clenched teeth, Ava's sister, Serena was shaking violently, she had n
(Third person POV)As the men left, Ava came out of the toilet, she was still trembling in fear.Her chest was heaving up and down and she placed her hand on her chest to calm herself, but it wasn't helpful because when she saw the bodies lying on the floor she broke down and started crying. She looked at her sister's body, her heart became heavy with pain and regret.She caused her sister's death, if she had known she would have stayed clear of that phone when she saw it, now they think she stole it when she was only trying to help find their lost phone.She was not aware that the phone had a tracker.She touched her sister's lifeless body, words were enough to explain how sorry she was but the worst part was her sister was already dead, the deed had been done.She looked at her father's body as it lay on the floor and a thought crossed her mind, she might be able to save her father from dying.She decided to take him to the hospital after quickly changing into new clothes, maybe he c
(Third person POV)She rushed home, too many thoughts were swirling in Ava's mind. She wasn't thinking straight, her mind was unstable, she was shaking nervously, she didn't know if what she was about to do was the right thing to do but that was the best option for her at the moment.The doctor's report had raised her hopes that her father might live, she didn't know if her mother was safe or not, and she couldn't risk telling the police, the odds were against her, once the men find out that the police are on them they'll come after and kill her when the chance is in her hands to save her father, they had already lost one person in family, why risk the others?It was very late at night but Ava didn't mind her mind was fixed on more important things to even remember what she was doing was dangerous.Ava had cried so hard that her eyes couldn't refill tears, she tightened her grip on the steering wheel regretting why she picked up that phone.She got to the house, went into her room, she
