The DE COSTAS

Chapter 10

Rechel POV

I'm not surprised how they know I have brothers, they are very powerful and influential but I know they are up to something. I need to find out the real truth and as much as I hate to do this, it's time to go find my mother.

Bringing out my gun from my undie, I started tiptoeing. Heading for the gate and at the same time watching out for any possible guard.  Just as I successfully arrived at the gate when I felt someone's presence behind me. I know he was going to cease me but I didn't give him the chance I flipped around and pointed the gun at his face.

It was one of the de costas and I remember him to be that angry bird the other day.

He didn't even flinch at my gun being pointed at his face. Well what do I expect, he's a de costa the most dangerous and powerful mafia empire I know he could easily take the gun off my hand but I bravely held onto it at least to protect myself. 

"Hey, calm down Rechel, and give me the gun." He demanded sternly and starts walking toward me not a bit scared of the gun, I had no choice but to step back.

"I said give me the gun Rechel," he repeated still walking towards me.

"Why...So you'll kill me??"

"What? Why will I do that??" He frowned. "Look Rechel I can't do that to you no matter what okay?

It's not in my nature to hurt any of my siblings now give me the gun..." he spread out his hands for me.

"Please..." he tried harder but I was just staring at him.

"You know I can easily get the gun from you right? And when that happens you are gonna get in serious trouble so be a good girl baby and give me the gun..." he said matter factly and I know he was telling the truth so I just dropped the gun on his palm.

He place the gun in his back pocket and walked closer to me. I know he was going to hit me so I braced myself for it. My boss always says pointing a gun at a superior is a grieve sin and a terrible crime, the punishment for it is severe.

But the angry bird betrayed my expectations, he didn't hit me. Instead, he swept me off the ground and carried me into his arms. I didn't bother to struggle with him cause it will be no use anyway. I just let him carry me till he brought me into a room.

"This will be your room..." he says as he drops me on the queen size bed. There were two big beds in the room, the room interior was so beautiful and most of the designs were pink accompanied by a lot of dolls.

Gosh seriously? I know I'm a girl but the room was too girlish for my liking.

Somebody get me out here!!

"Do you like the room??" He asked but I didn't reply.

It Doesn't matter whether I like it or not cause I don't plan to even stay here.

He went to the refrigerator and brought out an ice pack. "You have a gash on your forehead, let me treat that." He said and took me by surprise, he squats down and started pressing my forehead with it.  I allowed him and use the opportunity to sneak my gun out of his back pocket.

Clarissa.

After moments of crying on the floor, I got tired and let my head spin around.

That was when I even took in the environment I am in right now.

The room decoration was mostly black, it has gadgets everywhere. There were wallpapers of footballs, and music stars especially male rappers. It was a typical boy's room.

Whose room am I? As I stood up to leave, my eyes got a big frame at the table filled with a gadget. The frame was the image of a very beautiful lady. She looks in her 40s but at first glance, you'll think she's 25.

"That's mum." Someone spoke making me startle as I've been so engrossed in the photo. I turn and saw Liam walking in.

Fear crossed me at the sight of him, I swallowed a glump.

"She's pretty right??" He smiled as he joined me in staring at the photo.

"Y..yes?" I stuttered.

"you took after her baby." He said and I watch him bring me a full-length mirror.

"Do you see yourself in her??" He asked lively as he brought the mirror to my view making me stare at my reflection.

As I stared at myself I realize we have the same thing in common. My hair color and length, we have the same eye color and we almost look alike. Now if I didn't believe that I was related to these boys before, I have a reason to believe now.

"Ummm  where is she now?" I asked before I could stop myself and I regretted asking that.

"She left but I guess you are gonna find her soon with the help of your twin." He said and I bit my lower lip and nodded.

"Would you like me to take you to your room or do you want to to go stay in my room in the meantime?

You know I won't mind. Spending a day with my newly founded sister is anything I could wish for." He grinned wildly and was acting so casually like we'd known each other for a long time.

I didn't know what to answer so I kept quiet.

He frowned when I didn't reply.

"If you don't want I could take you to your room now cmon let's go." He said and I nodded.

He took my hand and led me out of the room.

He took me into a pinky room where my I met my look-alike curled up on the bed.

"So you'll be staying here together. It was Antonio's idea. But it will be for the meantime just so you both get to know each other." Liam said to both of us. My look-alike just rolled her eyes and looked away while I grumbled hard. Liam looked at me and gave me a  nod that ask 'will you be fine' I just gave him a nod and he left.

Now I was left in the room alone with my look alike.

"Were you a soldier?" She finally broke the long-term silence.

" Um no, why??" I asked quietly.

"You've been standing there for hours now." She shrugged.

"Um...um You are not going to get mad if I sit with you??" I asked shyly and once again she rolled her eyes.

I realized there was two bed in the room so I went to sit on the other bed.

"So we...we are sisters?" I asked trying to strike a conversation.

"I don't think so." She replied blankly.

"Um...We...um...we have the same face...you see." I glump hard. Found it difficult to look at her. Maybe it's because she looks so bold and confident way more than me.

"I know right but we really can't be sisters..." she snaps and then sat up straight to focus on me. "I mean if we were sisters how come you from an orphanage whereas my mother is still solely alive? And she never told me I have a sister. She only told me I have brothers." She was already losing her temper so I Didn't bother to prolong the issue.

I just kept quiet as I was just tryna grasp my head on all of these.

suddenly I saw a gun beside her on the bed. I gasp in shock.

"Is...Isn't that a gun??" I asked before I could stop myself.

She looked at the gun and then at me. "Yeah... why??" She frowns.

"Nothing...Just...just scared of it." The moment I said that she scoffed. "Well, You better start getting used to it especially now that you are trapped  by the  de costa... cause you don't know what their plans are." She warns on a serious note.

"Huh, you sound like you know them before??" I asked for my own sake.

"Who doesn't know the famous  mafia brothers." That was her comment.

We discussed it at length and she kept pumping fear into me.

Somehow we were getting to know each other but man she was too smart and badass for her age. If not for that she was a girl I would have also been scared of her. I don't know if that's a lie cause I'm scared of almost everyone no matter gender but somehow I was free with her.

I felt so safe with her despite the gun she was holding, I felt this unusual bond with her. She was telling me things about the de costa brothers.  how they kill people over little mistakes. My heart was seriously rising and falling. Well, she earlier mentioned they were mafias so what do I expect?

Arhhhhhh Someone please get me out of here.
