Chapter 112Nurse Lilli walked up to the doctor. Emilio was still in Vincenzo's hospital room.“Thank you for coming mio figlio. I really appreciate it.”“Of course I'd be here Father. You are not well. So it's important that I come check on you. There's really nothing to thank me for Father”, Emilio said, laughing a little at the end of his last statement.“Even if. Thank you. It means a lot. I wish I could have seen my sick father before he died but… I was too busy. I thought I was too busy. But you can never be too busy for the ones you love. If really love them, you'll make out time for them.”Emilio nodded. There was not one doubt about that. “Family is forever… whether you like them or not, whether they are always going to be here or not, they are always going to be family”Forever.Emilio sighed but not too heavily. “Yes Father. That's absolutely true”“It is. It really is”“What is it, Nurse Lilli? Why are you here and not at your duty post?”, The doctor asked softly, finall

Chapter 114“Looks like the rumors are true after all”“Rumors?”“Yes sir. It's been on the internet for a while now- some people think Emilio's capable of killing his father.”“That's just jobless blogs for you Nathaniel. You shouldn't be a party to such, as an investigative officer. We work with reason and evidence. For all we know so far, he could have been framed”“Yes sir”, the young junior investigator said, in a rather less excited tone.The district head took the bag from him and handed it to the other policeman to seal it and add it to the rest of the evidence. “Something isn't right”The district head thought. He knew there would be a chance of Emilio getting framed but he didn't want to come to the conclusion that he had the wrong suspect in mind. Maria had too much on her plate for her to not be onto this one too. It made too much sense to say she was behind the attacks on Emilio and for poisoning Vincenzo. All he needed was more information and in this case- more eviden

Chapter 116The Rolls-Royce pulled up at the Oril Cartel, the majestic five floored casino- the largest in Vernice.Maria stepped out, shades on, her bodyguards escorting her.The glittering entrance of the casino, known to high rollers and A-list celebrities, was as bustling as ever. The doorman, an imposing bulk of muscle, nodded silently and gestured to his partner to let Maria in. Walking past the public gambling floors, roulette wheels spinning, dice tumbling and slots chiming, a feeling of deja vu overwhelmed her. Scantily clad women in sequined leotards, sky-high heels, and dramatic smokey eye makeup strut amongst the gambling tables. The pole dancers gyrated their toned bodies to pounding club music under the colorful strobe lights of the casino. Their real purpose was to entice high roller clientele to spend even more exorbitantly after hours for private personal entertainment. Maria remembered her past life - a life that now irritated her. They got to the elevator and the b

Chapter 118The district head was at the door of the house when Maria's Rolls-Royce eased into the compound.“What the hell is this idiot doing here again?”The driver got the door and Maria stepped out rather hastily. The door man came down to take her bag from her and walked up the stairs behind her. Opening the door, she met the district head standing in the visitor's lounge and Vincenzo in the adjoining living room.“She's here already”, Vincenzo said as she walked in.“Buonasera Mrs. Rodriguez (good evening). You are right on time.”“What's the problem exactly?”she asked, taking off her glasses.“I’m here to take you and Emilio in for questioning”“Questioning?!”, Vincenzo and Maria exclaimed simultaneously.Maria scoffed. “You must be joking, officer. This is completely ridiculous”“I mean no jokes, Signora”“What?”“But officer, I don't understand”, Vincenzo said, quite baffled.“Yes, Signore. Based on the evidence we got, we've come to conclusions that your wife and your son a

Chapter 120“Vehicle?”, the voice came from over the phone.“It's a white Toyota Sequoia”“Good. Keep me posted on Andrea”“Yes Signore”The call terminated. He fixed the bullets in the gun, the clack sound echoing in the dark room. He put a few more in his jacket pocket and picked up a ski mask from the table. There was no way he wasn’t killing that son of a bastard. Meanwhile, traffic held Asher and the boys. “Would you move dammit!”, Garfy cursed at the driver in front of him.“This traffic is so slow!”Asher glanced at his watch. “We don't have much time left. How far away are we from the Marco Polo airport?”“Still about thirty minutes Boss”, Lego said looking at his smartwatch.“Why is there always traffic in the city?”“Because this isn't America Garfy. The city has more water than land. Haven't you noticed? That's why there are more road transport mediums like water taxis and vaporettos”“Whatever man. They should have better road networks”Lego smiled halfway and shook hi
