That fateful evening, Lorenzo was as usual smoking while making plans to hit one of the clubs in town when his work phone began to ring.“Chief?” he muttered, surprised. He let his stick of cigarette drop into the cigarette cup and took a slow sip of his drink.“Chief,” he said into the phone.“I have a minor job for you. Meet me in my office now.” chief had told him and hung up.Lorenzo’s head slanted as he further stared at his phone in confusion. Chief never relayed work issues directly to him. And with the way he sounded, it was clear Alessandro wasn’t included in whatever job chief had for him. In fact, chief never gave him assignments without Alessandro’s presence or awareness.Several reasons as to why chief could have left out Alessandro in this job bombarded his head but he shrugged them off, quickly prepared and left for chief’s office.“This lady you met in your last mission, you still remember her face, don’t you?” chief had asked the moment he stepped into his office. As

ALESSANDRO’S POVSeeing the heavy traffic and knowing I had less than five minutes to get to Isabella or she would be killed. I had only one option, break the traffic rule. Or maybe I wouldn’t really be breaking it. I reached for the emergency siren which I always carried with me just in case of moments like this and placed on top of my car. I wound up my car, then I hit the road blaring my horn and having the cars paved way for me to pass through.I drove crazily like I had never done with my adrenaline almost bursting open.But I was surprised to see chief’s car sped past as I made to swerve into the main road that would be leading me to the facility house. I was certain he couldn’t tell it was me as he hadn’t seen me in this particular car.Seeing him weakened me. It could only mean one thing; Isabella was already dead. I wondered if I should just turn around and head home. I couldn’t save her. I wish I had learned of this earlier.But a text stirred me back on. It was from Mattia

ISABELLA’S POVWhen I walked into the house, I saw him speaking into his phone as he stood close to the window. I couldn’t make out what he was saying as he spoke almost in hushed tones.Seconds later, he finished with whomever he was speaking to, and turned towards me.He walked to where I was standing and stood before me and for a few seconds, he just stood and stared at me. More like glared at me.Then he exhaled deeply, his breathe laced with a hidden worry.I worried he had come back to his senses and decided to kill me.I waited for him to yell at me, push me out of the house.“Stay in the room over there. I will advise you remain in there and not make a sound.”“Is that all?” I asked.“What more do you want?”“Erm, well…” I shrugged. “Well, maybe you could start by telling me your name…I mean we are going to have to be in each other’s face for a while. Don’t I get a right to know what your real name is...that’s if you have any, I mean.”“Don’t get ahead of yourself. It won’t be

LORENZO’S POVI had known Angelo for years but not for once did I ever thought he would have a cold foot for killing a mere server girl. I had seen him kill brutally, without emotions and any care in the world. He killed for chief without questions until it came to her.If I hadn’t known how Angelo never ate things carelessly, I would have thought she poisoned him.And when chief had given me an order to kill this girl, I knew he was beginning to lose trust in Angelo. It was my chance to prove myself to chief. The one chance I have waited for all these while.Bringing her to the facility was the easiest part. When chief gave me the order to end her, I couldn’t have been more pleased.Nothing would have delighted me more than being the one to end Angelo’s bitch.But then a more interesting thought hit me.It would be nice killing his bitch but would be even more better when I shove my little man into her and together with my men fuvk her till she passed out.Angelo would will be pissed

ALESSANDRO’S POVI had just rounded off a call with Mattia.Yes, I still communicate with him when I want as he feeds me how far chief and his men are on my trail.“Chief isn’t going to stop until you are dead and he sees your dead body...”Mattia had told me. Chief had in fact increased the ransom on my head. He told me of their failed operation nights back and how I was missed in it but chief would rather die than say it.I knew chief and his men have been tracing and trying to track me down.Dominique walked in, “Boss, I need to get some groceries and some supplies...”“Ah, about that...you will wait until I’m back. I need to meet someone in town, he has something for me.”I turned off the laptop I was using and stood from my seat.“You trust him?” Dominique asked.I shrugged, I couldn’t say I trusted Mattia nor did I not trust him. In true, I trust no one especially at this moment. Chief could lure anyone to his side with cash or force if need be. But Mattia has proven to be by my
