Chapter 151

The Aston Martin sped across the highway as Asher pedaled away. His phone was hooked on the phone holder in the car, connected to the speakers on his phone.

“Siri, call the last number on my dial”

“Calling anonymous”

Asher slowed down a little as he came to the descending path of the highway.

“Mr. Asher”, the voice came from over the speakers. “I believe you saw the location I dropped”

“We are not meeting there”

“Pardon?”

“Listen. We'll meet on my terms. If you really want that favour and if you are legit, you'll turn up”

“Mr. Asher…”

“I’ll be at De Latè in twenty minutes. Meet me there”

Asher put a finger on the end icon. The call terminated immediately. Suddenly, he took the U-turn, turning into it roughly. He sped off in the opposite direction, headed for the café. He had better know what he was up to.

“Sofia! Sofia!”, Garfy called out. Signore Riccardo came out from one of the adjoining rooms connected to the living room.

    Chapter 152Asher came out of his car, the click sound of locked doors following the car key buttons. He began walking away from the car to the entrance of the building. He pushed the glass door open and the small doorbell jingled above his head.The bakery was on the ground floor of the compact one storey building. As he walked towards the stairs, leading up to the café upstairs, he sighted Uncle DaBeniro attending to a customer. With him was his youngest grandaughter - Melissa.The moment he got up, he knew he wasn't supposed to be there. He felt it. But at this point, there was absolutely no going back. There weren't too many people in the café. Once again, he spotted - this time fully - the oddly dressed guy and he could tell at once that it was him. Asher moved to the farthest seat on the floor at the left corner closest to the big window.“Mr. Asher, it's nice to finally meet you”************************The still quietness of the room gave it an uncomfortable aura, coupled wit

You are the one with the gun”The guy smirked, running a finger through his barely grown mustache. “You think you have all the questions huh?”“Possibly”“If you are so smart then why are you here?”Garfy pulled up with a screech to the sidewalk.Opening up the glove box, He took out the two guns, shoving them into his leather jacket pockets.“We need formations Garfy.

The mirrors he'd positioned had had the sun's rays now reflecting from a corner.“Urghh”, he groaned.“Who the hell do I kill first?”“Garfy, what's the plan?”“Tell Boss to look in my direction for a moment.”“Ok”Lego got off the airpod for the moment and spoke into the speaker of his phone.“Boss, are you with me?”“I …”“You what?”“Am”“What the heck are you saying?”, the guy asked, getting a little worked up.“Look at your side quickly Boss.

He dropped his weapon.“Don't… don't ******* call my name”, Sandton said to Garfy, his teeth gritted, giving him a deadly stare.“Sandton..”“Fuck you Garfy. Fuck you. Why the fuck are you here?”“That's my boss, Sandton. I work for him”Sandton took one look at Asher. “So you are a bodyguard now?”Garfy licked his lips. “Look, Sandton…”“Fuck you Garfy and fuck whatever is about to come out of your mouth, ok?”, Sandton said, shaking his head. “You have nothing to say.”“Sandton please, let me..”“Explain?

    Chapter 156.Beep! Beep! Beep!Finn's alarm went off. Finn rolled to the side of the bed where the alarm lay on the side table. “Urghhh”Finn groaned as he searched blindly for the alarm clock on the table, his eyes still very sleepy. He knocked the alarm off the table and crashed on the rugged floor. But it still didn't stop the alarm. If for nothing, it only went on louder.“Oh fuck”Finn opened his eyes, squinting them immediately as the brightness of his room light pierced into his eyes. Stretching his hands, he touched the switch and switched the room lights to the dimmer night lights. He rubbed his eyes lazily, stretching his naked body. He picked up his phone.4.00 a.mHe yawned again, feeling quite exhausted. He took off the duvet and let his legs down from the bed. Another stretch. He looked over his shoulder at the girl he'd brought in the night before. He smirked. She'd given him quite a ride.He moved towards the adjacent room, wanting to pick something to wear from his w

    Chapter 157‘Genoa, Italy’.The evening sun was setting slowly in Genoa, giving the city an orange cast, especially on the Castle House of Genoa. One if the servants in the room drew the curtains in but maintained the night bulbs in the room. By the snap of his hands, a water bowl was brought to him. Paolo dipped one hand into the water and the servant immediately wiped it dry with his napkin. He bowed without even being noticed and took both bowl and napkin away.Paolo took the pipe off the pipe holder on the table. Taking it up to his mouth, he held the slimmer part carefully and puffed smoke out of his mouth and nostrils. The television was on and both men listened to the newscaster as she cast the evening news.“More failed attempts ei?”, Paolo said as he picked the remote placed on the royal pillow and held by one of the servants in the room. He reduced the volume of the television and placed the remote on the table instead. With a wave of his hand, he dismissed the servant. “Th

And perhaps if he turned into the supermarket restroom, she would too.Now they were in the perfumes section. He picked up a masculine musk and twisted off the cover. Elena pretended not to watch him, pretended to be more focused on the writings behind her favourite perfume oil. The guy, who, unknown to her, had been watching her movements. He took one good look at her and he seemed, from the corner of Elena's eye, to whisper something to his driver who had been holding the man's cart throughout.The driver started to walk towards Elena and she quickly put the perfume oil back on the shelf and pretended to be more interested in other stuff.“Madam”, the driver said, to her as soon as he had come close enough. He held a small squared sheet of paper in his hand. She took it from him. Written on it were

However she was greeted by an empty living room and no response.“Mum?”, She called, dropping the wine bottle she had in her hands on the table.“Muum!”, She called out even louder as she went up the stairs slowly. She walked stealthily through the passage, the unusual silence giving her an eerie feeling. Finally she turned round a corner and she saw the open door of her mother.Super strange. As silent as she could, she walked towards the door. Tipping her head slightly, she peeped through with her eyes into the open room from the left side of the door.Immediately, she saw her mother, she heaved a sigh of relief. Her mother backed her, seemngly holding something in her hand.“Mum, I've been calling you. Didn't you hear me from downstairs?”Grace turned, a little startled. “Oh darling you are back”, she said in a tone that felt a little colder than usual“How was

She stumbled behind as she thought she was seeing a ghost. What was Gauis doing here? I thought he was dead.“Gaius here revealed everything to me after Maria and Andrea tried killing him off for finding out their secret ''. “Here sir,” Gauis said, handing a brown envelope to Vincenzo. “Father, in there is the DNA result of Andrea and Mr Wyatt Oril”“What? The late Mr Wyatt?” Vincenzo asked, scanning through the contents of the DNA results. “Yes, that Mr Wyatt, Maria and her son killed him off, as he was a threat to their plans of killing me. And since they couldn’t succeed, Maria here began the slow process of killing you off slowly by lacing your tea every day with a substance. That’s why you have been so weak lately. Here is the s

Let me the fuck go”Finn was dragged and strapped on the same metallic chair that was used to torture Asher. Mr Vincenzo gave those specific instructions.“Hey!Hey! Are you guys deaf?!Call my dad. You people are dead meat once I leave this place” his spat out at the guards, only to get a hard punch to the stomach as a response. Smack! Smack!“You want to speak to your father right?” The prison warden said as he entered the room “Fine, we will call him for you.”A call was placed across to Mr. Wilson, and with one single ring, his voice echoed at the other end of the line. “Hello Mr. Wilson, someone is dying to speak with you.” The warden passed the phone to Finn, who didn’t hesitate to grab it”“Dad!, dad!What the hell is going on?

    Chapter 177Finn staggered back and Sofia scurried away from behind him. She picked up the gun which had fallen near her boss. Asher, on the floor by then, was fast losing a lot of blood.He brought his hand to his face. It was blood. He stood unsteady, his vision blurry and double and his mind was hazy. He staggered forward a little and Sofia quickly picked up the gun and aimed it at him.“Stay away!”Finn tilted from side to side, trying to widen his eyes. That made it worse as he couldn't even see Sofia or decipher the position of the gun anymore“You…”, he said, swinging his hand aimlessly. In fear, Sofia pulled the trigger and shot his leg.“Arghh”, Finn groaned, holding his leg. His back hit the wall and he fell to the floor, his mind's vision slowly going into a blackout.Sofia turned her focus to her boss, squatting down to his level.“Boss”, she said, shaking his leg. He was still conscious.“Sofie”, he whispered, the most quiet whisper Sofie had ever heard.“Boss! Stay with

She held herself from cursing out, hopping away a little, from the control board.She had tried to pull off the metal cover of the control board for the door. But there were no screws on it. Then, she tried to break the cover. And that landed her in the situation she was presently in. Sofia banged on the door.“Help!!”But she knew her efforts were effortless. There was none other in the building than her and Asher - and the intruder she recognised so much but couldn't place a finger on where she'd seen him.Sofia wanted to feel exhausted but the anxiety that controlled her was great. She'd spent at least fifteen minutes trying to get out of the room and that was more than enough time for her boss to have been reached and attacked by the intruder - probably even dead.“No”, she gasped. She had to think fast. She had to get out now.“Think Sofia. Think”, she said to herself,

    Chapter 175Sofia relaxed a little when she heard footsteps on the staircase. She knew she was usually tense when they were in the same space but her anxiety seemed to heighten by the minute. It was unusual and she couldn't put a finger to it. She had tried to concentrate on work but she had only progressed in eating all the biscuits and cookies on the plate. She had poured the remaining contents of the bottled water into her mouth. Tossing the empty bottle into the bin underneath her desk, she had placed her fingers on her forehead and did a quick massage. Still, she felt stressed and just looking at the screen made her feel even more stressed.She took off her glasses and lay back on the chair. The footsteps felt closer now. She opened her eyes. No footstep heard. Maybe she really needed that sleep.She closed her system. Then she heard the footsteps again. Curious, she got up from where she was sitting and moved towards the door.For some reason, she was stealth about it. She look

Finn's car was captured by the vigilant security cameras as it zipped past Asher's residential building, leaving a trail of speed in its wake. The driver and bodyguard in the car that had brought Elena noticed the car and watched it zoom off, bearing witness to the fleeting scene.The bodyguard put a phone call through to Mr. Salvatore.“Boss”“Speak to me Spider”“Intruder alert”“Intruder alert?”“Yes Boss. Some car just sped past us. There is no other residential building in this place and I can still see the car parked, though it's far away from the gate.”“Well, who's in it?”“We don't know yet Boss.”“Find out Spider and don't let them ruin this plan. È tutto chiaro? (Is that clear)”“Sì Capo (Yes Boss)”The call ended.

Did you…”Asher paused, listening to what the voice over the phone had to say.“Travis, Travis….”Another pause.“Listen.. listen to me. I don't want to know if it is or if it is not possible to get the ceramic tiles today. Whatever it is you need to do to get them today - this night - do it. Do it now. When I come by tomorrow, and just note I'll be coming in very early, I want the exact type and quality that I asked for. Can you get that done, Travis?”Asher paused for longer this time. “Okay. Let me rephrase that. Get it done Travis. Thank you”He ended the call. “What's up? Are you done?”“Yes sir”, Sofia said, letting out a sigh of relief at the end of her sentence. Asher did too.“Finally”, Asher said to Sofie, a slight smile on his face.Meanwhile, after minutes of wasted efforts going in the w

He walked into the office room where Sofie was still working.“Are you done?”“Almost sir. Let me just tidy up this document”“Alright”He left the room and came back with two small glass bowls of fruit salad.“Here”, he said, handing it over to Sofia.“Oh.. thank you Boss”“You deserve it”, he said, taking his over to the mediun sized sofa. Pink flushed on her cheeks and she had to bend her face so he wouldn't noticed. Asher smiled, noticing before she could even hide it. In all his life, he didn't know a person more shy than Sofia.He settled on the sofa, balancing the fruit salad bowl in his hand.“I've been willing to ask something, Sofia”Sofia raised her head immediately, unnecessarily in alarm.“How has your mum been?”“My mum? She's fine. She's.. perfectly okay”“Is she still at the hospital?”“Oh no sir. She got discharged about ..two months ago? Yes. It should be two

    Chapter 171“It’s done Boss”, the delivery guy said, adjusting the air pod in his ear as he rode. The bike bent as he maintained being on the bend, the wind flapping in his ear. When he got onto the straight road, he had to reduce his speed for the traffic ahead.“Good”, the voice responded. “Well done Ryder”“Yes sir”The call terminated and Paolo set his phone down on the table. In front of him were three monitors and a slim guy sat in front of them, moving from one screen to another.“What’s the update, Raphael?”, Andrew asked“I'm in. I have successfully gained access into the facility now”, he replied, zooming in on one of the screens. On it was a live recording of Asher's gate, which was still open even when Asher had closed it. So he thought.Raphael switched to another monitor. On the monitor display, the different controls that were sectioned to the different parts of the house were shown. Raphael zoomed into each room, and the door controls, studying the signals. From there,
