Bruno sat on the wooden floor with both his legs folded under him and his back in a straight posture, his face held no expression as he watched the older-looking man sitting before him make a pot of Japanese-styled tea with his brows furrowed in concentration.Ray Salvatore served two cups of tea and placed one in front of Bruno, he raised his head to acknowledge the man sitting in front of him for the first time, "I'm getting old and it takes so much time for me to brew tea nowadays even my old injuries from when I was a youth in the street are resurfacing recently" he laments and Bruno's eye twitched while trying to maintain his coolness.'Who are you trying to deceive old man? ' he thought to himself with a subtle eye roll.He had seen that the man had intentionally slowed down the process as a way to test out his patience he said nothing as he picked up the tea and took a sip. "Even if my old age had affected the timing I can guarantee you the taste is still just as good, I got th

"There is a new club in town, let's check it out together tonight" Amanda announced excitedly when she heard Leah come in but her excitement quickly dimmed immediately she noticed the large bags her roommate was holding with an exhausted look on her face. "Why do you look so worn out? You were never this tired even when you worked at a cafe and you had to stand most of the day" she pointed out with a disapproving frown.Leag sighed and mentally apologized to Lily fit making people have a bad impression of her team."It's mostly the school project that is making me busy these days not g new job" she corrected and Amanda snorted as Leah dragged herself into the kitchen to get a cup of water, "We got a new professor in my year and he is too strict on his projects and practical. We get at least two dresses to work on from his class this month," she explained "If it's not done well, we will have to start over again, so frustrating""Sucks to be you" Amanda commented giving Leah a pitiful lo

His eyes perused her body, and then using his head, he gestured to his guard to his guard in the room to search her.After what seemed like a good job of almost stripping her of her clothes as he searched every single part of her clothing. He nodded a confirmation to the Boss that she was clean"Come, have a seat" he pointed to the chair across him, clouds of smoke filling the atmosphere he sat in."Now, tell me everything" his eyes took a dark shade, signalling that trouble was about to loom."The other day, I heard some men outside my apartment talk about an ambush. It sounded like the deed had already been done. I thought maybe it was just another petty job the wreckless fools in the area were about. Until I heard the Morettis involved. I have reason to believe that they know what happened to your goods. Everyone has been talking about a gang war. These two men, they discussed vividly about an internal war that would be ongoing here because you lost your shipment. The ambush isn't

No sooner had Leah run out of the coffee shop before the young man who had walked in got up and followed her without touching his meal."Hey! Excuse me Sir" Matt tried to call out, but he was already gone. He had dropped a couple of notes beside the untouched meal.She could sense the presence around her, but she wasn't sure what to make of it. There were lots of people on the road and it couldn't be all of them. Maybe she was just being paranoid. She thought as she hurried down the road which led to the school. She had barely walked a mile from the Café when a car stopped in front of her. The door opened and it was Stephen."I believe you're running late" he grinned at her"Oh my, fancy seeing you here" she smiled"Get in" he said and she hopped into the car. This time DiCarlo wasn't in the car. It was just Stephen and he drove."Are you allowed to drive Moretti company cars?" She asked surprised to see him."Well, my Boss sent me on an errand." He replied."How did you know I'd be h

Bruno stared at the message a second time, how the hell did Valerie Salvatore have access to his antiques and what the hell did she want? His answer wasn't far from him, Valerie Salvatore was an insane woman, beautiful but not to be toyed with. "I had already turned down her offer for marriage a couple of times that was enough to infuriate her." He thought to himself.He picked up his phone and dialled DiCarlo's number."Boss" his voice sounded over the phone"DiCarlo, bring the car around." He ordered"Yes Boss" he replied.Di'Carlo arrived in less than 39 minutes. The drive to the hotel was an hour plus, it gave Bruno enough time to plot out what he was going to do about Valerie Salvatore.Just like the message had said her room number was 023, the receptionist at the front desk confirmed it.Bruno and DiCarlo took the elevator to the third floor where her room was situated. The receptionist had said it was okay to go up, but as they walked through the quiet hall, Bruno wondered if
