MONALISA
“You are staring at me like it’s the last time you will be seeing me” Lucius chuckled but I didn’t find it funny.
Nothing was funny.
Mum was at the place they agreed on already and Lucius was off to meet her.
I picked his gun up and handed it over to him.
“Thank you, Love” he kissed me.
“Lucius, you have to come back alive” I said to him.
“I always do. And I will make sure your mum is safe too. She will be taken away safely as soon as Sandro gets there”
“Please be safe. You know… You know you promised to be there for our child and for me. And… and the vacation too, you have to go back with me and…” I was getting anxious already.
“Just trust me, Cupcake. And I am not forgetting any of my promises. We are going to do all of it after tonight. You know what? Once I leave, you can write everything you want us to do. Every single thing you write until I am back, I will do each of them no matter what it is. So make sure you write a lot” he tucked the gun away and cupped my face.
“This isn’t the first time I am doing this and it will be like it has always been. Simple and safe” he reassured me and I hugged him.
He hugged me back but only briefly.
“Don’t hug me like you are never going to hug me again” he pulled away and bent down to my stomach.
“I will be back soon” he kissed on my stomach, straightened up and pulled my cheeks.
He had walked up to the door before pausing and walking back to me.
“This button here…” He pulled out a drawer and put my hand in it, making me feel the top.
There was indeed a button there.
“Press on it every five minutes. I will get the notification and I will be assured you are safe”
“If anyone needs the button, it’s you. You are the one going out there”
“Just make sure you press the button, that will really help me. Okay?”
“Okay” I chuckled softly and watched him walk out of the room.
My heart was pounding within me. I was really scared for him and I couldn’t wait for tonight to be over. For mum to be back and for Lucius to be back to me.
I looked out of the window and continued looking out until I saw Lucius step out, Bella behind him. She pulled the car door open for him and he stepped in.
I watched Bella get into the driving seat. 1
“Please be safe” I mumbled one more time before getting into bed.
I sat up in bed and glanced at my wristwatch. I had to press the button every five minutes to satisfy Lucius.
LUCIUS DEVINE 1
“Boss” Bella called and I raised a brow.
“I don’t know if I will be making sense. I think Andro should come along with us. He will be useful in protecting you, boss”
“Bella. More than I need protection, Lisa needs it. You never know what runs around in Sandro’s head. I am not leaving Lisa without protection” I replied.
“I understand better now, boss”
The drive continued. Silent as I preferred it to be.
About three minutes later, my phone buzzed in my pocket. I brought it out and found that it was the notification to notify me that Lisa had pressed on the button.
We arrived there about twenty five minutes later. I pushed the car door open and alighted. The place was a small cafe and one thing was sure, it was going to be ruined. The cafe was in a quite desolated spot. Just the perfect place to get this done with.
“Bella” I called.
“Yes boss?”
“Contact the owner. He doesn’t have to bother about his cafe. I will buy it off his hands. Whatever price he demands” “Yes boss”
