Something needs to be done!
If Alita stays put, she would end up dead, if she also runs away, Gio will end up dead.
She walked to her room, grabbed a few more stuff she thought she might need, and went to the dinner table. She sat mute, absolutely silent, listening to the lowest sound she could.
Poor Gio! A poor child that was made an orphan the same day he came to the earth. He didn't get to smile at his parents, enjoy Christmas with family and go on holiday with grandparents now he is hiding in the dark.
The dark he had always been afraid of is what he took refuge in.
Mentally, Alita visualized Gio shaking in the dark with his eyes close. he looks sweaty and his bag pressed to his chest like an anchor. His tender heartbeat was loud, threatening to explode any given second.
With Gio's phone in her shaking hands, thinki
Slight movement of the fingers, then the body, next to the opening of an eye. Alita winced as she tried to sit up instantly, her head still hurts so bad that she can not remember what kind of alcohol she had the previous night. She let her body relax before she roam her lazy eyes around the room. "Holy smoke!" She exclaimed as she looked around the strange room in terror. Memories of what had happened before she got to where she was replayed themselves. She took one stead step down the bed, carefully, making sure not to step on the floor with her full weight. She glimpsed at the figure of a huge man, she felt he might be huge for she could still see almost all the parts of his broad back even as he was seated on the chair, absentmindedly. For a quick second, she decided to use her brain. She stood still for a while, expecting to get a reaction from him but none came. It'
"You have proved that you can be a good boy," Rocco said as he walked hand in hand with Gio. They passed several coded rooms, where they had to say their names and Rocco scan his fingers before entering. Finally, the last room opened to reveal Alita laying on the bed. "Sorella? " Gio gasped, he made to rush to her but Rocco held his arm "Please don't hurt my sister" he pleaded. Rocco smirked, he nodded in agreement and released the boy's arm. He took his stand at the corner of the room, his legs crossed as he lean on the wall. "Alita" Gio burst into tears as he reached her, he shook her "Sorella" Alita inhaled deeply, she opened her eyes to look at Gio. For a second or more, she went rigid, her cheeks dropped as she noticed the overflowing tears on his red face. "It's okay Gio" she pulled him into a warm hug "I will get you back to where you want okay"
Lu's office looks spacious and neatly arranged, it almost seems like it had never been used if not for the ash plate in the middle of the large round table. The books were neatly arranged on its shelves and the pens were in a portable customized mug. The mug has his face with blue eyes and his name written across his face in ancient roman writing. It almost looks like the room was divided into three parts. One for books, the other for files while the last for devices. The gadgets were also arranged at the other side of the room which is the left. A huge television, almost as huge as the size of the wall hung a few inches below the ground and a few inches below the ceiling. His computer and laptop sat next to each other on the same table, beside it was three android phones. The middle of the room seems to be the most important part. Ju
It's been two whole days since Lu set his eyes on Alita. He couldn't get to see her since his small talk with Rocco and he still doesn't want to accept the fact that he feels something for her. Maybe not normal but he felt soft or had been feeling soft since he set his eyes on her again. The night Ricardo was shot still seems fresh and it freaks him up. Not just he didn't give one of his men time to talk again before he kill, but because the death of the man brought back the connection of his very first kill. The day he pulled the trigger and initially killed for the first time seems to be a day he will never forget the feeling. Although he had killed so many people, both his men that snitched, ladies that had been sent to kill him but fail, fathers, mothers, sold children, even babies, and didn't feel bad or hurt about it. Ever since his father died in an operati
Alita rolled, smiled in her sleep, and stretched. The bed felt comfortable than yesterday and she thought she might have gotten used to it so fast that it almost felt like she shouldn't wake up. "I think Lu might want to get a new bed if you continue to roll like that" She scream, she jumped off the bed as she set eyes on Rocco who had a bored expression on his face. He offered her a toothbrush and paste on it and walked to the other side of the large room. "Your breath smells like hell!" He said. Embarrassment filled her veins, Alita took the brush without saying anything and rushed to the bathroom room. She brushed her mouth so hard that it felt like it would peel off if she continued. On coming out, she used the clothes she was putting on to clean her face and walked back to the bed. "You can keep the cloth" Rocco smiled "Lu would not want t
Three days have past and Alita has not set her green eyes on Lu, Rocco did make sure to come three times a day bringing her food and telling her things that would make her laugh. She was not allowed to peep out the room much more stepping out. It was even on that day that she found out how big the room his, His bed could contain seven of her without complaint. The wardrobe look bigger than her kitchen same as a smaller cabinet to it, it felt like it lead to another room where a person can call the 'Island of designers wears'. The washrooms looked like they had never been used. The bathtub and the closest seat feel so comfortable that she falls asleep each time she goes to poop or bath. The middle of the room feels like the sitting room where two long soft couches faced each other. A big flat TV was placed in front as if watching over the couches. No single picture
*CHAPTER 14* The long table was filled with Lu's men as they have breakfast. Different types of food filled the table but Gio choose to remain with his mac and cheese, he also asked for an apple which he placed close to him to eat later. It had been like that since he arrived and starts eating with them on the big table as they had called it, only once had he seen Lu eat with them and that day was super interesting and he wish for that day to happen again. Each meal, they must yell and say bad words but he never gets to complain, Gio would make sure to finish his food and leave them so he could go stay with his sister and play with Rocco afterward. He got angry as Cage hit him to get back to Rocco who had snatched the salt and refused to give it back to him. As Alita had always taught him to ignore irrelevant things, he decided to ignore but immediately his spoon touch his lips, something
Felicia enters the room to see Alita still in bed, she was surprised to Lu glared at Alita sleeping like a child that has no bills to make. Her two legs spread horizontally with each foot toes touching each side of the bed. Her black hair cover her face and half side of her pillow, the pink pajama trousers she wore looked oversize as half part of her lingerie pants and butt were showing. Her bareback had nothing but the tiny ropes that held the small fabrics to her chest covering her breast. "Who gave her my pajamas?" Lu's rusty voice whispered. "I don't know" Felicia whispered back, paused then looked at her boss who had a smirk on his face "Where are you whispering sir?" She asked also in a whisper. Lu just looked at her, he brought out his phone and took pictures of her. He glared at Felicia who was still trying to take a peep at his phone. "You want your face here too?" He h
