2024-01-04 17:50:27Back on the ship, Enzo had a nervous look as he kicked a chair angrily. “You installed a mine at the orphanage; are you stupid?” he scolded, and Antonio burst out in laughter.
“If I had the chance, then I would have installed it. Can you believe he was standing on a stick?” Antonio laughed, and Enzo glared at him, confused. So there was no mine? Why does this man take everything like a joke?
“You are crazy,” Enzo said, and he was frustrated. This man placed him in this situation, and now he is saving him from it.
“Why did you do this? What is your goal?” Enzo asked, and Antonio frowned. He suddenly became serious.
He walked into the cabin while Enzo followed, and Damon was sitting on the couch as he watched the news.
Antonio took out three glasses and a bottle of wine before handing one to Damon and Enzo, who hesitated before taking it.
“Enzo, check out your childhood brother,” Damon said as Leo was on the news.
“The shadow, Enzo Marino, was spotted at the orphanage, and once again he escaped us. But I promise you all that I will spot him and put him behind bars, where he belongs,” Leo said with his team members behind him.
Enzo was shocked. Leo saw Antonio right now, and he even introduced himself as the SHADOW, so why was he not telling everyone that? If he did, then it would have helped clear his name; Leo just wanted him out of the picture.
He clenched the glass in his hands tightly as he watched the news. “Is it true that Amelia Watson was a victim?” one of the female journalists asked, and Leo nodded.
“She was shot when she tried convincing Enzo to surrender,” he said, and Enzo’s eyes widened in shock. He glared at Antonio, who smiled.
“That bitch deserved it,” he said.
“You killed her?” he asked, and Antonio shook his head in denial.
“We slightly missed her heart,” he said, demonstrating slightly with his hand.
Enzo was already tired; he glared out and noticed that the ship was moving. “Where are we going?” he asked.
"Italy,” Antonio said, and Enzo took the glass of wine from him and gulped it down with one go.
Then he shot the glass at the TV angrily. “Why did you choose to ruin my life?” he asked angrily.
“You should be grateful I showed you the monsters in your life,” he said, referring to Amelia and Leo.
“That doesn't answer my question; I understand, you are my brother... But that doesn't give you the right to ruin my life. I was fine on my own."
“I didn't want you living in the shadow; I can't believe those nuns hypnotized you to forget the past,” Antonio said, and Enzo was confused. Was there something he was supposed to remember?
The nuns didn't want him to grow up with anger and hatred in his heart, so they decided to do that to him to let him live a normal and happy life, but Antonio didn't forget anything. Now that he has his brother, he is going to make him remember everything, and they will embark on this journey together.
“What are you talking about?” Enzo asked.
“You are working for the law; the law killed our mom, and they also tried to kill us." Antonio’s eyes darkened in anger as he said that. He clenched his fist and decided to stay calm.
“We will talk at home,” he added. What home? Enzo’s brain was a mess because he didn't have a home apart from the orphanage.
“But I always watched you on TV; you are cool... I am glad we are brothers."Damon said with a proud tone, and Enzo glared at him as his eyes were filled with guilt. He had pointed a gun at him, but he was desperate at that moment.
Now that Antonio mentioned his mother’s murder, he started seeing unclear scenes in his head. Some men barged into their house, and he remembered his mom asking him to run with his brother and sister, but their faces were blurred.
He held his head in pain; something was stopping him from remembering "Tony.” He remembered the small girl’s voice, which called him. He had tried to run and save her, but the girl was shot and surrounded by a pool of blood.
"Sophie,” he blurted, and then the pain in his head increased.
“Don't think it hurts,” Damon said, but Antonio glanced at him angrily.
“Let him remember that nun used a powerful hypnotizer. She is so ancient,” Antonio said. When he turned 19, he saw his twin brother for the first time on TV in a military uniform.
He knew that his brother was taken by a nun the day of the incident when they were just ten years old, and he knew that he would be safe with that lady. But who would have imagined the lady would push him to be part of the military force?
“Ahh” Enzo fell on his feet as he felt like his head was constantly hitting a wall.
"Enzo,” Antonio called angrily. He glared at him, and out of the blue, he kicked Enzo hard on the stomach, which made him wince in pain as he held his stomach.
"That's for hitting me earlier,” he said, and Enzo frowned before standing up.
“Next time you hit me, I will squeeze the life out of you,” Enzo warned, and Antonio chuckled. “Does your head still hurt?” he asked, and Enzo shook his head.
The pain was gone. Now that he understood why Enzo hit him, he wanted him to forget about the pain in his head.

After hours, they arrived on an island, where they took a helicopter to Italy. The journey was long until they arrived in the busy country.
There were cars aligned waiting for them. Antonio walked down the helicopter as he glared around. They were in a small forest as they walked to the cars.
Enzo glared around; he saw the expensive cars here to pick them up, as well as the guards. He wasn't expecting less. They walked down the helicopter and walked towards the car, and then Antonio’s instincts kicked in. Enzo also felt that something was wrong.
Then countless bullets came flying their way. Enzo and Antonio were quick as they retracted their guns and fired towards the source of the bullet.
Everyone became alert as they took out their guns and kept shooting. Antonio glared around and noticed a movement from the forest. He was about to pull the trigger when he heard the sound of a gunshot, and the person in the forest fell dead.
He looked behind and noticed that Enzo was the one who shot him. He smiled and kept shooting at the others.
“Damon, get the car,” Antonio ordered. He was going to let his men handle this.
Damon kept shooting as he got inside the car and pulled up in front of them. Antonio pulled the door open and signaled for Enzo to get in.
“I will handle this,” Antonio said. He wanted Damon to take Enzo to safety. Enzo frowned. He was not a kid. He was a sergeant, which means he had undergone strict training.
“He who runs from a bullet is a coward,” Enzo said, and Antonio chuckled before glaring at Damon.

"Okay guys, explode their brains," Antonio ordered his men as he retracted his rifle from behind him and he decided to go inside the forest and find out who dared attack him in the dark.Enzo did the same; they were at a disadvantage if the enemy could see them, but they couldn't. He walked for a while and noticed that the shooting had stopped.Then he spotted a black car in the forest. He didn’t know them, but it was clear that they were the ones shooting now.He placed his gun ready to shoot the tires when Antonio approached him quickly and held his gun. “Let them go,” he said, and Enzo was shocked. These people almost killed them.“Seriously?” he asked, and Antonio nodded as they watched the people drive away.“They came to welcome me,” he said, and Enzo’s jaws dropped. Was this man a psycho, or was everyone in Italy a psycho?They returned and got into the car; the injured were helped to the car by the other men when they drove away.“Brother, was it Don Luca?” Damon asked curiou

In Italy…Enzo couldn’t sleep the entire night. He stood by the window of the room he was shown to, glared downstairs, and saw some men carrying new guns to the van.He checked the clock on the wall, and it was still 5 a.m. He knew that this was an illegal business, but what was he supposed to do? Go downstairs and arrest them.Jackie and the others must be worried about him; he needed to let them know he was safe, but he didn’t have a phone. He checked the wardrobe and found some new clothes there.It seems everything was arranged for him. He walked to the bathroom and took a cold shower before wearing blue jeans and a black T-shirt.He walked out of the room when the door opposite him was pushed open. A slim lady, half-dressed, ran out of the room. She glared at him; her hair was a mess, and she looked miserable.She slightly bowed to him before rushing downstairs. Enzo frowned before he walked to the room and found Antonio standing by the window while holding a gun.“Enzo Marino,”

Enzo walked downstairs when he saw the old man sitting by the window sipping a cup of coffee. He thought for a while and decided to approach him. The old man glared at him and smiled.“Are you enjoying your stay here?” he asked, and he shook his head in denial before glaring outside.“You say you are my grandfather?” He asked, and the man nodded.“Then tell me, what type of life is this? Why did you raise Antonio this way?” Enzo asked with a bitter tone, and the old man chuckled.“I think life made him who he is; he found me when he was filled with anger and rage. But he has a heart; he never wanted to add you to this revenge journey, and that's why he never came to you,” he explained.“But he did, and he came to me like a storm." Enzo chuckled painfully. He will make sure to clear his name and own his name as the sergeant.“Well, I have a gift for you,” the old man said, and Enzo glared at him, surprised.“Follow me,” he said, pushing his wheelchair toward the room at the edge of the

Meanwhile…. Antonio stood in front of the Ginsen warehouse with Jude. They decided not to go with their men because they might gain attention. "You should rethink this; the Ginsens won't spare us and your entire family," Jude said, and Antonio laughed before receiving a call from Damon. "How is the situation there?" he asked. "Don Luca didn't show up," he said, and Antonio smiled before hanging up. "That man had the guts to attack me," Antonio said. He was a very vengeful person and didn't forget about Don Luca's attack yesterday when they arrived. "What will you do to him?" Jude asked, confused. "If the formula gets missing, then the Ginsens will go after the family who was not present at the club, as for me. I am present." Antonio kept laughing. He was going to let these two powerful families ruin themselves, and he would finally emerge as the strongest in Italy. "No more talking; let's get to action." They both put on their masks, loaded their guns, and went in according to
THE SHADOWS WITHIN: BROTHERS OF FATE No Games
The next morning, Antonio woke up with a bright smile. He picked up a pack of cigarettes before walking downstairs and spotting Damon and his grandpa.“Antonio,” Damon called with a nervous tone because he was scared Antonio wouldn't spare him from the fight last night.“Get me a lighter,” Antonio ordered, and he nodded before leaving.“I heard you will give up yourself in Slovenia,” his grandpa said, and Antonio nodded. That was the plan.“What game are you playing?” he asked angrily. The grandson he knows will never give up himself to the cops, especially the cops of Slovenia that he hates so much.“No games, grandpa, no games,” he responded when Damon walked towards him and handed him the lighter. He lit his cigarette, and just then Enzo walked downstairs towards them.Jude rushed in. “It’s on the news,” he said, and Antonio smiled. Jude walked forward and switched the TV, and there were two faces displayed there.One was the heir of the Ginsen family, and the other was Don Luca. I

The driver was convinced and kept driving; it wasn't long before he arrived at the destination, and Enzo walked down before paying.He looked around, and the place still looked the same. Since it was very early in the morning, a lot of places were still closed, including Suzy’s store.So Enzo walked a few miles before arriving at Suzy’s place. He knocked on the door, and after a few knocks, the door pulled open. "Enzo,” Suzy gasped in shock.She hugged him tightly before staring around and saying, “Come in.” They both walked in, and she locked the door.“How have you been? You shouldn't have come back,” she said in a worried tone. Just yesterday, she noticed that Leo and his men were keeping an eye on her because they expected Enzo to show up at her doorstep; luckily, she sent them away.“I am fine; everything will be fine tomorrow,” Enzo assured her, and she got confused.“Antonio, the one who framed me, has decided to give himself up. Everyone will know I have a twin brother who is

Leo was still a little suspicious, so he walked closer and dragged the table, therefore tightening the cuffs. "Ouch!” Antonio groaned in pain, and Leo was now satisfied.“The cops will be here; this is your end,” he said happily. All he could think about was receiving a medal and a promotion for catching the most wanted criminal in Slovenia.“Suzy, everything will be fine, okay?” Enzo said as he made eye contact with her and signaled that she should check his bag once he was gone.Meanwhile…Antonio didn't just have fun as he said; he had a lot of fun as he met with an old researcher who lives in the deepest forest of Slovenia and acquired his mansion.And his men fixed the place like a laboratory, and they all partied together. “Boss, where should I place this?” one of his men asked as he carried a bag of flour.“On my head, fool,” he hissed angrily before puffing his cigarette and sipping his wine. This place was going to be his laboratory because he couldn't have a laboratory in It

Antonio freshened up and walked downstairs. He had to go meet with Zaza because it might get drastic if he himself showed up at his doorstep even after the invitation.“What are you getting yourself into?” his grandpa asked, and he sighed.“What are you talking about?” He had a lot on his mind and just needed a break from everyone. He has been hustling all his life, and it seems no matter how much he works, he will never be at the level of the other gangster families.“Don't mess with the Ginsen; stay in your lane. That family has more than fifty years of....."“And so? Do the years make them gods?” He butted in angrily before nodding.“Have a good rest, Grandpa; I have things to do." Antonio turned to walk out when he bumped into Damon, who was coming in. He clenched his fist and hit Damon hard across the face."Antonio,” his grandpa scolded angrily. Damon held his face, but he couldn't complain. He had expected the worst from Antonio.“When I say get a job done, you get it done... N

Antonio shook his head, disappointed. “I had high hopes for you, Gricella.”“I… I am sorry, just the length of time you gave us was too small,” she shivered.“Is that so? You planned to go to the cops, huh?”“No, we will never,” John chimed in; he was already so scared.“Where is the formula?”He knew they took it with them, and he had to punish them so that next time they would think twice before doing such.Gricella took the formula from her pocket and handed it to him. “Space out,” he ordered, and they stared at themselves, confused.“Don't make me repeat myself,” he warned. They stood about a meter from each other.“Now you…” He pointed at Gricella. “You have thirty seconds to choose who dies or you die.”“Huh?” Her eyes widened in shock."One,” Antonio started counting.The boys looked at Gricella with pleading looks and Antonio said, "Two.”He continued; his men had already stood their ground because they knew he wasn't kidding.He kept on counting, but Gricella didn't make a ch

Antonio nodded. The mayor’s words angered him, but he refrained from showing them.“You are right, mayor, so what we need is to tighten the security measures in Slovenia.”“And with you on the team, I am sure the country is just fine,” the mayor said before he stood up.“Let’s have dinner, Enzo.”They all sat at the dining table and ate silently. Amelia took off her shoes and rubbed Anthonio’s legs below the table. “How was Enzo in love with such a whore?” he cursed inwardly and smiled at her.Then his phone signaled a new message, and he checked the message, ignoring the fact that the mayor was at the same table as him.[Are you also going to hold my car captive?]It was a message from Suzy; he sighed and realized that everyone was staring at him.

Antonio smiled “So her uncle is the colonel?” He chuckled inwardly, guessing he needed her more than he imagined.“You are not done with work?” she asked, and he closed the file.“I am done, shall we?” He turned off the computer, stood up, and picked up his car key before they walked outside.“This is Suzy’s car,” she stated, and he nodded. “She was kind enough to lend me one,” he answered, even though he had zoomed off with her car without asking for permission.“So you drive to your place” He handed the keys to her before he got to the car. Amelia had a confused look. She sat on the driver’s seat and stared at him, confused. “What do you mean by my place?”“Where you live, let’s go, love,” he said, leaning back, and she shook her head.“Why are we going there instead? Shouldn't we be going to your place?” She had missed him, and all she wanted was for him to give her the best sex of her life, but he wanted to go to her place.“I didn't make dinner.”“We could eat out.”“I want homem

I don’t bang my brother’s girl,” he winked before standing up.“You did with Amelia." Suzy regretted what she said, but it was already out. Antonio sneered, “She is my girlfriend now.” After all, he needed something from her.“Let’s go,” they both bid Jackie before getting into Suzy’s car. “Why doesn’t Enzo have a car?” Antonio questioned.“His car is kept in the private parking lot at the station; it’s a black Audi 4,” she explained, and Antonio nodded. He needed a car to be able to do his business.“Where are we going?”“Park the car at the side,” he ordered, and she did just that.

Suzy woke up early and helped make breakfast for her siblings at the orphanage. Aunt Jackie was still curious as to why she had shown up so late at night.“Did anyone threaten you that late at night?” Aunt Jackie kept asking, but Suzy would smile at her. “Even if anyone threatens me, will I fear someone who isn’t God?”“Will you?” Antonio asked from the door, and Suzy dropped the spoon she was holding. Okay, she had to admit she was scared of this man. A man who had shot a knife right in her face, and it missed just a few inches."Enzo,” Aunt Jackie called happily. She walked forward and hugged Antonio, who hugged her back. He winked at Suzy.“Child, I am glad you came. All the siblings kept asking when their hero would be back,” she burst out in tears.“Why won't I come back?

Once Antonio pushed his door open and walked in with Amelia, he immediately closed the door and pushed her to the wall before engaging in a wild kiss with his hands roaming on her body.She gasped in pleasure because his hands worked magic on her and his kiss suddenly became so pleasurable.“Enz, let’s talk,” she said, pushing him slightly.Antonio kissed her neck before taking off her blouse. “What do you want to talk about?” he asked.“I didn't mean to call the cops on you; Leo had talked me into this... and I knew all along that you were innocent,” she lied, but Antonio didn't want to talk; all he wanted was to fuck this woman and satisfy himself.“I know that baby, I believe you” he replied before lifting her by the waist and walking to his bedroom, he placed her on the bed and pulled out her skirt, her fair and fragile skin made Antonio hard.“Le donne della Slovenia sono dannatamente sexy,” [Women of Slovenia are damn hot] Antonio said in italics before taking off his shirt.“Wh

Hope You Took Care Of My Woman
That evening, Damon had gathered six men with bikes and got into the van with Jude. “You all know the plan, right?” he asked Antonio’s men through the phone, and they all agreed.“Why is Antonio not coming?” Jude asked curiously.“Because Antonio only cares about Antonio, now drive... The van transporting Enzo will soon arrive at the roundabout,” Damon said, and Jude drove the car away.After an hour, they finally caught up with the police van transporting Enzo. The men on bikes drove towards the van and surrounded it before pointing their guns at it.“I will get Enzo." Damon walked down the car, and then the policemen in the van took out their guns, ready to shoot those men on bikes.“There won't be any injuries if you kindly hand my brother to me," Damon said before he took out his gun and shot the lock at the boot, the policemen in the van didn't dare walk out.Damon's eyes widened in shock when he saw the boot was filled with balloons. “What the...?" He was shocked by what he saw,
