Chapter 91

“Lego! Lego!”

The sound of Lego's coughing attracted Gaius.

“Lego!”

He ran towards the sound of the cough and soon he found Lego, a pile of wood on his body.

“Lego! Oh my God, man. Are you good?”

Gaius said, helping Lego up. Lego continued to cough and with much difficulty, Gaius raised Lego from the floor. He put Lego's arm over his shoulder so he could help him walk.

“Hmm…”, Lego groaned, holding one side of his abdomen as they walked slowly towards the door.

“Ye… .”

“Freeze! Non muoverti! (Don't move)”

The policeman exclaimed at Lego and Gaius.

“Officer…”

“Don't speak. Hands in the air.”

“Officer…”

“ Metti le mani dove posso vederle !(Put your hands where I can see them)”

“Hey Gastus! Put your weapons down!”, The head of the team said, coming in just in time.

“They are Rodriguez's men”

He directed with his hands and the two policemen behind him helped Lego to their wagon outside. Gaius followed, his hands bleeding from a bullet wound.

“All clear?”

“All clear sir. We've

    Chapter 92“Andrea, you are now connected to 'Re Della”, Marco said, placing the open laptop on the table.“Re Della”, Andrea said with a nod of his head.“Rodriguez. It's a shame you can't join us here”, Podrego said, lifting the stout glass to his mouth. The dark brown liquid flowed eagerly into his mouth.“A shame you say. Do I happen to be missing out on anything?”Podrego's eyes darkened and Andrea's sly smile formed almost immediately. Marco spoke up immediately as he noticed the growing tension between them.“Gentlemen. Let's get down to business, shall we?”“Of course. Headlines. The Mafia who claimed this would be an easy job has failed to eliminate the target in the person of my half-brother, Emilio Rodriguez.”Podrego gritted his teeth. “My men were ready!”, Podrego said, banging his hand on the table.“Re Della!”Podrego relaxed himself on the chair, cigarette in his hand. “You should have told us that your brother's bodyguards were going to be there!”“Maybe if your dear

Lego and Gauis took the smaller armchairs that came with the rest of the furniture. They rose to their feet immediately when they saw their boss.Emilio was relieved to see them both. “Gauis, Lego. Are you ok?”“Yes Boss. We are okay”Emilio heaved a sigh of relief, patting both their shoulders simultaneously.“Thank you for protecting me”“Of course, Signore. It's our job!”Garfy leaped up to them. He hugged Lego first. “Bro. I bugged your phone, boys. What happened?”“I'm sorry. I didn't take my phone and Gauis's phone was low almost throughout the ride here”“They really caught us off guard”Emilio patted Gaius' shoulder. “Anything major?”“I got a bullet wound but it's all good. Lego needs to get an x-ray examination.”“Fractures?”“Suspected but.. we are not really sure yet”, Lego said, one hand on the side of his abdomen. “I'm pro

She tipped up her glasses to her hair and struck a pose, looking haughtily at Sofia. She took a step further but the security stopped her.“No.”, Sofia said, raising one hand. “Let her”“Hmm.. how fancy. You have little cronies now”“Really Sasha? Right here? Outside the building?”“Well, unlike you darling, I'm cultured. I was raised to be uncouth from a poor, broke-ass background. I grow up to be lady and to not spread rumors to make myself look good”“Rumors?”“You heard right. Rumors. Rumors about sleeping with the boss's brother and giving information to potential threats to the company”“And how, Sasha, did I spread rumors about you?”“Or you aren't aware? Anything without concrete evidence is a rumor. I mean, where's the evidence you narcissistic bastard? Where's the evidence of all the rumors you've spread? You know

Well, Andrea had an private call line but.. why was this Andrea guy calling Sasha and what the hell was the connection between them? Were they…?“Oh someone's calling me”, Sasha said, suddenly coming behind Jerry and taking the phone from his hand.“Andrea Rodriguez?”Sasha's eyes widened. She raised a brow. “Rodriguez?”“Isn't that Andrea Rodriguez?”“No… I don't really know any of the Rodriguez close up… this is just my friend, a former work buddy”“Oh okay”. He eyed her not really convinced.“Okay”, Sasha said. “Why are you looking at me, silly?”“Nah. I'm… I'm good”“Okay. So…”, she said, moving towards him. She was still in her red bath robe. “Will I be the man to take you to the dance floor?”“Of course”, she said, letting her bath robe fall to the ground.Jerry sat up in bed, his personal computer on his lap

He stopped, his eyes making a mess of the environment around him. Emilio watched his father with concern.“Are you okay Father?”, Emilio said, walking up to the step where he was.“Yes. I'm just… a little dizzy this morning. The usual morning haze”“Maybe you should…”“Bedrest? No, I'm fine, Emilio. Thank you”Emilio helped him down the remaining stairs. “Thank you mio figlio”He walked to the head of the table by himself, taking his seat.“Is breakfast ready?”“Yes it is, dear”, Maria said, some of the servers following behind her,large silver serving bowls in hand.“I had them make fresh yoghurt, dear, just the way you like it”, she said, placing the jug at the center of the table. “Madeline, will you walk faster?!

    Chapter 97“We just need to be alert, Lego”, Garfy said, as he opened the booth of the blue Sevan to ensure that the car wash man had put everything back in correct order.“We really need to be Garfy. We were very unprepared the last time. We weren't even expecting it”“I was. I've been trying to tell you guys”“We haven't been listening, have we?”“Not really. We've not just had an opportunity like this one. But now we know, we have to do better to be on alert because those guys? They aren't giving up, Lego. I suspect that the last attack was headed by the Mafia gang?”“Yes. I wanted to say that. I was fighting with one of the men and he had their symbol on him. You think they are somehow collaborating with the Mafia?”“I don't think, Lego. I know” BACK AT THE DINING TABLE “Finally, we can dig in, shall we?”, Maria said, as she entered the dining room.

He removed hisOakley dark shades and let it hang on the V-neck of his shirt.As usual, Finn was at the mini bar, his tumbler in hand. Jerry ran a hand through his hair before walking over to Finn.“My man”, Finn said as he stood up to hug Jerry.“Haven't seen you in the crib for the longest time”Jerry shrugged. “I've been busy”“Busy?”, Finn said, scoffing. “What are you so busy with?”“That's none of your business man. Right now, I need you to do me a favor”Finn smiled in a sly and crafty way. Jerry looked at him, eyebrows up. “A favour? What the hell do you need help with?”“I need some cash”“Some cash?”“Yeah”“And you came to me?”“Come on bro. I know you got money. You still got that trust fund, don't you?”“And so?

Those shameless bastards. Their daughter doesn't know that they are using her to repay their debt.”, Finn said, scoffing.“Woah. Those are some freaking irresponsible parents she has.”“So even after you beat her up, they still let her come back to you?”“Of course. They don't even have a choice. They are owing a lot of people a lot of money, including my parents. So my parents pay the people and in turn they keep their end of the contract surrounding our marriage. My parents even tried to divorce the b**** but…. You know I can't lose her.”Jerry knew what he meant and was amused. “Why did they try to divorce her anyway? If they did, the whole contract would be over”“The girl's a witch, total bad luck. She was bad for business so my parents wanted her off the hook as soon as possible. But I can't give that b*

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

    Chapter 176The heavy screwdriver fell off her hands and landed on Sofia's right leg.“Ow!”, She cried in pain. 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.

    Chapter 173Sofia let out some air, obviously exhausted. Her boss, Asher, paced the room as he gave instructions over the phone. “I want ceramic used in those spaces, Travis, not wood. 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,
