Nova I'm not imagining things. My Dad is really on the other side of this door. I place my hand on the door handle and open the door, revealing my father. He's dressed as casually as can be, and by casual I mean he's wearing his usual attire of suit and pants including a tie. It's obvious this isn't a casual family visit. Not like we have any of those anyway."Dad. What are you doing here?" He walks in and I close the door behind him.I watch his retreating back as he ignores me and just proceeds to look around the house, you'd think I didn't send them pictures of my accommodation when I got here. Pictures he ignored obviously.He takes a few steps towards the chair before moving farther and peeking at the stairs. He walks back to the living room where I'm standing confused, "Are you looking for something? If you can't answer that at least tell me why you're in my house." I snap."Your house?" He scoffs."Yes, my house. The one you're currently inspecting without my permission." He j

Leonardo "Watch out!" The loud yell has me reeling and the next thing I know, I'm pushed aside and shoved into a wall. The warning from Roman was swift and precise.He drops his hand from my shoulder, "Dude where the fuck is your head at? You good?" Roman asks. I looked down at the wire I almost tripped. This whole fucking place was boobytrapped. One wrong move and our position would have been exposed. We've gotten here so far, quietly and I could have ruined it because I can't focus on the fucking mission.Shit."I'm fine. Fuck, I'm sorry guys." I apologize to the other guys. I need to focus, my life isn't the only one on the line."It's okay. Just don't make sure I die today. I like being alive and so does, Aaliyah. I'm pretty sure if I die during this raid she'll find my spirit and kill me again. And if that's not possible, she'll make it possible." Cain says referring to his fiancee, Aaliyah.The bastard finally proposed.

Leonardo “Is it the four we’ve been tracking?” I ask.Roman sighs. “No, David was spotted at a restaurant last night with his wife during the timestamp of the video. Looks like different men, but these aren’t identifiable. I imagine they only went to see the girls once.” The video we were currently watching contained three masked men, fondling and grabbing three girls. A few minutes into the video, one of the girls protested being grabbed and manhandled like that. She tries to fight the men but one of them pulls out a gun and shoots her, eliciting screams from the other two. They toss her body aside and continue touching the two girls, completely ignoring the blood on their naked bodies, and the dead body only a few steps away. According to what they said in the video, they were advertising the merchandise. The fucking bastards made this video and then sent it to interested buyers and now the shit fucking leaked on the dark web.I nod my head, my mind racing as I try to figure out wha

Nova Hope is a crock of shit! I'm tired of hoping for my family to change.I rest my head on the car's headrest with my hands behind my head, teary-eyed. I can’t seem to stop crying lately. I can blame my extremely high emotions on the aftermath of my period. In all honesty, I get easily emotional during the time leading up to my period and after it."I've secured a suitable match for you." I put the key into the ignition as I blink away fallen tears. I turn the key and reverse before driving out of the hospital's parking lot.My parents felt an urgency in my love life, or lack thereof, that even I didn't feel. I went to bed every night thinking of the information my father told me in my house. My life was already signed off to a strange man and I had no say in it. I was sold off like cheap meat by my parents. I'm never going to marry that Councilman, whoever he is.I can't believe even my brother, Chance called to tell me and explain how this alliance would be good for us. An

Leonardo “So,” I start, grunting when a particularly painful twinge flares in my back. “Grandfather was never your abuser, was he?” I ask my father. He titters. “Oh, he was. He just didn’t know what it meant for him every time he laid his hands on me. The idiot never did figure out I was the one pulling all the strings. He was too stupid.” before I was taken by B-20 my father took over the mafia and was in charge after his father, my grandfather. One day, after an argument with his father. He got drunk and I remember him telling me that one day everything would change. That he had made a lot of plans with his friends and those plans were going to change the world. "We're going to mold the first set of perfect, obedient soldiers, Leonardo." He slurs and laughs. "You'll see." He circles me, the gun still pointed at my head while his lips pull into a snarl.“That’s the best thing about your grandfather. He was all so far up his ass, he never thought it could be a weak, quiet, Al
