    9PM*
    Franklin finally drove into the castle after blowing smokes on the bridge for an hour, and the first thing he noticed was the quietness of the bodyguards quarters.
    He knew immediately that the plan started already, so he made his way to Sergio’s palace.
    The bodyguards all died by his knife, all going down at each thrust to their necks till he took down the last one and kicked the door open.
    He entered the palace, and according to Royal’s description, he began tracing his hand on the wall, trying to locate the door to Sergio’s underground dungeon.
    His finger suddenly stopped on a suspicious spot, and before he could make another move, a red button blinked, and a door opened on the ground.
    He walked there, and immediately he stood on the spot, he began going down till he landed on the corridor.
    There’s supposed to be just a door in there according to Royal, so he walked fast to the end of the corridor where the door is located at.
    He pushed it open slowly, and his eyes couldn’t help but widen at what he met.
    A woman who’s definitely Mia’s mum. Her eyes are gone, and a lot of her fingers too, she’s barely breathing as she sat by the wall, resting her back on it.
    Her body moved slightly when she heard the door open, and she spoke slowly.
    “Please… just don’t hurt my daughter… Continue cutting every part of my body like you want” 
    Franklin rushed in and squatted in front of her.
    “I’m not Sergio” he said, and before she could gather energy to talk again, he carried her in his arms and took her out of the dungeon.
    He took her to the park and placed her in the car, then he locked the doors and went back to the building, riding the elevator to Mia’s room, but she’s not there.
    He came back down and went to the lake maybe she’s still there, but no single sign of her.
    He made to call her, but then he remembered he threw his phone away already.
    He was about to leave the lake too when he saw her phone lying on the ground.
    He picked it up and racked his brain for any possibility, and immediately he got it, he went back to the park and drove out of the castle with Beatrice.
    *
    CHURCH*
    Sergio arrived with the R4 and several other guards just now, and while the guards surrounded the church, he went in with the 3 and Rocco since Franklin is not here.
    The priest has been tied down on the alter, and his eyes widened when he saw Margaretta’s coffin is empty.
    “Margaretta!” He shouted, rushing to the coffin to confirm. Truly, she’s not there, just the white cloth.
    “Where’s my wife!” He shouted, rushing to the priest.
    He pulled him up by the collar and punched him, making him fall back down.
    “Where’s Margaretta!!!” He demanded, and a loud laughter filled the whole church, echoing on the wall as Royal came out of the power room.
    “Mother is surely getting buried already by now. May her soul finally rest in peace” he said, and Sergio’s eyes widened.
    “You didn’t bury her cos you’re afraid her ghost would come to haunt you? I understand your fear Sergio, you killed her after all” Royal said, his voice turning mean, and his face cold.
    “Quit playing with the whisker of a lion!” Sergio shouted 
    “I didn’t come alone” he replied, and Anthony came out of the room with his girls, all lined behind him.
    “You’re quiet the actor, Sergio. You always said you’re the devil, but i always took it for jokes. I found out  already that you’re really who you claimed to be. You killed Margaretta and pinned me for it, taking my pregnant Beatrice just to ease your guilt. I haven’t seen my own daughter face to face since she was born. You only sent me pictures to torture me Sergio, and you’re currently using her for an experiment? Sergio!!!” Anthony cried, and Sergio laughed out.
    “You only figured that out just now? Whoa, Anthony you’re  dafter than I thought. Yes I killed Margaretta, and your daughter is dying next, I have to live long and she’s like my sacrifice, just accept your fate and let’s be good friends again after I finish the experiment. I’m using her and there’s nothing you can do!” Sergio laughed evilly.
    “Devil!!!!” Anthony yelled, rushing to him, and at the same time, the three faced the girls, and Rocco faced Romeo.
    Immediately Anthony got to Sergio, he greeted his jaw with a punch, and Anthony landed on the ground heavily.
    “This is so tiring Anthony. You’d die by my hands, you know you can never win a fight against me unless you become hulk” Sergio said, flexing his arms as Anthony stood.
    He charged towards Sergio again, and this time, he was able to wedge his chest with a hit.
    Sergio flew to the wall, wounding his head.
    Meanwhile, Royal is also currently bashing Rocco. Basically, it’s not a fight, it’s like a senior brother teaching his junior some lessons.
    “You know what I hate most about you? The fact that even after I told you the truth about mum’s death some years ago, you still never saw anything wrong with it bastard!” He spat, punching Rocco again.
    Rocco staggered and ran to him , lifting him off the ground, but he wasn’t able to throw him.
    Royal grabbed his arms and twisted them, then he landed back on his feet before flipping Rocco.
    Rocco landed on the ground again, and he grinned.
    “Why would I let that hinder my progress? Father always said even the death of your child shouldn’t stop you from eating to your full, I’m never gonna allow that as my weakness!” He shouted.
    “You won’t learn easily, till you die for real!” Royal said and got his gun.
    Rocco was fast to get his own too, and they aimed for each other at the same time.
    Neptune is with Armani, and she’s having the upper hand this time.
    She hit his head on the wall for the third time, and blood covered his face already.
    “You must be so happy you kept messing with my b👀bs the other time” she said breathlessly, trying to hit his head again.
    Armani resisted and hit her with his elbow.
    She bled from the mouth as she staggered, letting go of him in the process.
    Armani grabbed her head, and now it’s his turn to start hitting.
    It’s Ghost and Azura, and she’s obviously having the upper hand.
    From her shoulder, he landed on the ground for the fifth time, groaning in pains as his head got hit hard.
    “You should give up” Azura breathed.
    “Says who?” He replied, standing up.
    He made to attack her again, but she got her gun and aimed for his head. He wasn’t fast enough to get his own too.
    “Stop now, I don’t wanna kill you” she said.
    “You think you can?” He smirked, and someone kicked Azura from behind.
    The gun fell from her, and she followed.
    “Aurora” Ghost said when he saw she’s the one.
    She killed Tomboy already, and her face is wet with her blood.
    At the same time, two gunshots sounded, and everyone turned.
    Royal and Rocco finally shot each other, but Rocco wasn’t lucky enough cos it got his heart while Royal got his on the shoulder.
    Sergio took advantage of the distraction and ran out through the  alter door. Anthony followed him immediately.
    The second front door of the church opened wider, and gunshots began sounding incessantly as someone stepped in.
    Franklin! And the first person his bullet got was Azura.
    He wasn’t even looking sidewards, his eyes are on the alter as he shot his gun without seizing fire for once.
    Aurora and the rest layed low luckily, but Azura already got hit.
    Neptune got her gun and began shooting back, but within two minutes, she ran out of bullets and started running out.
    Franklin’s bullet got her head from behind, and she went down too in the middle of the other dead bodies.
    “Franklin” Armani whispered from where he’s lying almost lifelessly on the ground.
    “Armani!” Aurora shouted, rushing to him with Ghost.
    Franklin remained unmoved, just his arm went down on his spot. His face is emotionless.
    “The b+ch who killed Serafina is dead already. Anthony cleared her himself” Royal said as he stood, holding his bloody arm.
    “Beatrice is out, she’s in Bascca, i dropped her with Elettra” Franklin muttered and turned back as he started walking out of the church.
    “We have to go save Mia, Franklin. The lab battle won’t be as easy as this. We need you” Royal said.
    “I’m not interested” Franklin muttered and continued his walk out.
    “Really?” Aurora said from where she’s kneeling beside Armani.
    “You said she’s like a sister to you bastard! You can’t just leave her like that after everything you’ve done for her!” Armani shouted from the ground, and immediately he said that, he passed out, still bleeding from the head.
    “We have to get him to the hospital as soon as possible” Ghost said, and Aurora stood slowly.
    She was about to talk when another gunshot sounded.
    It actually came from Azura who’s not totally dead on the ground, and  the bullet obviously hit someone.
    All eyes widened as they turned to the person…

    “Shh, I’m in charge here” she whispered, slamming down on him again.
    “F+k! Mia” he groaned loudly, and she smiled satisfactorily, holding him more firmly on the shoulder as his d+k rolled in and out of her hole without an hitch.
    “That’s more like it Franklin, Dwarf sounds cool but it’s cooler when you call me my name” she whispered, pounding into him again, and this time, she didn’t stop.
    The pounding kept coming, leaving Franklin’s mouth wide open throughout.
    He badly wants to touch her, run his hands on her@$s right now, but his tied hands hindered that, so he only continued sitting there, trying his best to take the pleasurable torture she’s serving with her body.
    Her n+ples kept pricking his chest, and he looked down at it. Before he could stop himself, he was already sucking, and Mia mo@ned out softly, leaving one of his shoulders so she could hold the b👀b to his mouth as he sucked like a child.
    “Gosh! Franklin” she gasped when she thrusted his d+k into herself again. It went even deeper, and she began moving on it in a circle.
    “Damn!  Mia” Franklin panted, letting go of her b👀b to leave his mouth hanging open.
    Their eyes met, and she winked, enjoying her ride as chilly air blew into the room again, cooling the sweat on their skins.
    “You like it, don’t you?” She whispered, and instead of answering, he leaned in to capture her lips, but a knock sounded on the door immediately.
    “Mia!!!’ Sergio’s voice screamed, and she smiled.
    “He ruined the fun” she said, standing from the d+k which was already glistering with her c+m.
    Franklin was breathing high and heavy as he watched her dress up.
    She loosened the scarf she tied him with before limping to her wheelchair, and he stood to dress up.
    “Thanks Tallest. I think I’m full, i need no dinner anymore tonight” she smiled, and he smirked.
    Suddenly, the door fell of the frame, revealing Luciano and Sergio. They broke it down actually.,
    Immediately they saw Mia is fine, their eyes widened at once. She’s not bleeding?
    “What happened in here?” Luciano demanded. Sergio was already shaking in shock.
    “He screwed me, and I screwed him. We screwed each other though it didn’t last long cos you guys interrupted, how annoying” Mia said, and their eyes widened more.
    “Franklin” Sergio muttered, his eyes raining fire as he looked up at him slowly.
    “Do you mind telling me what makes her bleed whenever it rains? She didn’t bleed despite the fact that it was her first s+x, and she wasn’t tight either” Franklin said shamelessly.
    “Franklin!!!!” Sergio screamed.
    “Sergio!!!! Shouldn’t you have gotten the logic by now? I came here to work for you but I’m never gonna now down to you even if you take the throne from the morning Star!” Franklin yelled too, taking Sergio aback.
    “If you both won’t tell me what her condition is all about, then I don’t mind f+king her everytime it rains like this, I’m a man after all, I’m gonna take her over and over again!” Franklin shouted.
    “Guards!!” Sergio yelled, and many of them filed in immediately.
    “Get him to Abyss” Sergio ordered, and the first one that came to him received a punch which sent him down immediately.
    They’re like minors to him so within five three minutes, he finished off the over twenty guards, and the floor of the room became carpeted with their bodies.
    “Send more in, Sergio” Franklin said, standing straight.
    Luciano was the first to rush out of the room, and Sergio followed with  continuous huffs. 
    Franklin sighed and turned back to Mia who was smiling, and she smiled wider.
    *
    SERGIO’S PALACE*
    Sergio settled for his pipe immediately he arrived, and that got Luciano shocked.
    “Again? You’d let him be again? He ruined everything! He ruined the plans!!!” He shouted.
    “Isn’t that why we have a plan B?” Sergio replied.
    “But…
    “Now that I look closely, his eyes reminds me of someone” Sergio said, and Luciano sat gently.
    “Someone?”
    “Boss!!!” A guard rushed in.
    “Underboss 2 got hit. His body was sent here and is currently in front of the gate!” He announced, and the pipe dropped from Sergio’s hand 
    “Romeo?”
    He rushed out of the palace with Luciano, and they truly found Romeo’s body right there, in the pool of his own blood as it kept rushing out of his shot head.
    Sergio crouched slowly, picking the note that was folded into Romeo’s palm.
    He opened it and read… *BY NOW, YOU SHOULD KNOW I’M NOT THE WEAKLING, SERGIO. THE ORGANIZATION IS MINE. I’MMA KILL YOU AND TAKE IT, NOT BECAUSE I WANT IT FOR MYSELF, BUT TO DESTROY IT, COMPLETELY.
    Sergio folded his palm on the paper when he finished reading, gritting his teeth.
    “Royal” he muttered.
    “Royal!!!!!!!”
    *
    THIRTY MINUTES LATER*
    “Underboss 2 is dead? That was quick. Just like that? He’s the most skillful of the triplets so why?” Aurora said.
    She’s in the guards quarters with the rest except Franklin though.
    “Maybe fate had other plans” Armani replied.
    “F**k fate” Ghost replied, and Aurora patted him.
    “Was just about to say that, junk” she muttered, and Franklin finally came in.
    “How come you’re still alive?” Ghost stood.
    “Boss didn’t hear about it? Or did you not do it?” Armani stood too.
    “He did, that’s why his face is like that, but shouldn’t you have known by now that he’d face off to boss without blinking?” Aurora laughed as Franklin sat with them.
    “So …did it work?” Armani asked.
    “It did” he replied dryly.
    “Did you hear about Underboss 2 hit?” Ghost asked.
    “Was expecting it anyways, it’s not new” he replied, and they exchanged glances.
    *
    BASCCA*
    Roselle came in together with Barnabas, and Royal smiled from the living room where he sat with Elettra.
    “You killed Romeo for real? Dude you’re crazy” Barnabas laughed as they shook hands.
    “Wanted to kill the two, but I figured out I should leave one to go deliver my message properly” he replied.
    “How sad, his d+k was the best one I f+kef” Roselle clicked her tongue.
    “What’s up Dollar” Elettra stood, and they hugged.
    “Your bump is growing so well” Dollar touched her belly.
    “I know, right?” She replied.
    “So where’s Rocco?” Barnabas asked.
    “I sent him back to the castle, so y’all need to be careful from now on” Royal replied.
    “When are we striking for real? It’s taking too long” Dollar said.
    “We strike whenever Franklin finishes his job in the castle” he replied.
    “And when is he finishing up?” Elettra asked.
    “He’s gonna get Mia and Anthony’s wife out of the castle soon, and also I have to form alliance with Anthony using his wife” Royal smiled.
    *
    NEXT DAY, CASTLE HOSPITAL*
    Luciano walked out of his office with Sergio, and they entered the lab together after he punched in the password as usual.
    The mixtures on the tables are still glowing in their bottles, but the glow decreased, so it’s not so bright.
    “She didn’t bleed yesterday, there’s no way it’d remain the same” Luciano said.
    “Let’s move to plan B then, I have no time to waste anymore” Sergio replied.
    “But the plan A would have been more effective. The hormone capsule would have dissolved completely in her blood if that mad guy hadn’t done anything to her,”you are reading from www.mhiztaemy.com.ng” but now that we have to force the capsule to dissolve in her system before draining her blood into your system, you might not live as long as it’s supposed to be” Luciano said, and Sergio grabbed him by the collar 
    “I don’t care ok? I’m bringing her here in two days time. Do all it takes to force the capsule to dissolve in her bloodstream and give me all of her blood! I don’t care if it only ads one year to my lifespan but I just wanna live longer than I should!!! I can’t die yet Luciano!” He yelled.
    His phone suddenly rang in his pocket, and he released him to pick. It’s Rocco.
    “Stop calling at the wrong time!” He yelled.
    “I barely escaped Royal’s trap so just listen to what I have to say dad. Barnabas works for Royal, and the Gambino family he introduced to you the other time were fake, Roselle is fake too cos he works for Royal, her real name is Dollar” Rocco reported, and his eyes widened.
    *
    PILGRIMS HOSPITAL*
    It’s Serafina’s surgery today, and since daybreak, Franklin has been in the hospital with her, trying to calm her down in preparation for the surgery.
    He’s currently sitting beside her in bed, stroking her hair.
    “I’ll… I’ll come out alive…from the…from the surgery… right?” She said weakly, and he nodded.
    “Of course, you’re strong yunno?” He smiled.
    “Franklin, I heard from one of the… nurses that…if I don’t get surgery … today…. I’ll.. I’ll die” she said again, and Franklin bent over her to kiss her forehead.
    “I told you not to get scared, so chill Sera. I’m here, and I won’t leave” he said, and she nodded.
    “We should start preparing to move her to the theater” the doctor said, coming in.
    “Oh…. Sure, has the liver arrived?” Franklin asked.
    “It arrived just now, the nurses are wheeling it in” the doctor replied, and they heard a crashing sound outside immediately.
    They exchanged glances and ran out at once, and their eyes widened at once too when they saw what’s going on.
    The nurses wheeling the liver in have all been murdered. Their necks were slitted, and the four of them are lying down dead beside the wheel.
    A masked girl (Greta) is standing beside the wheel too, and the transparent bag of liver is in her hand.
    She raised it up with a sharp glint in her eyes, and Franklin started running to her.
    “Stooooop!!!!!” He screamed, but immediately he said that, Greta let go of the bag, and it fell down heavily, making the liver pop out of the bag.
    It smashed on the ground and spilled, getting destroyed completely.
    Franklin stopped running, and his knees weakened, making him fall on them as hot tears escaped his eyes.
    “No!!!!”
    At the same time, Serafina’s monitor began beeping repeatedly, and she began gasping for breath on her bed.

    “I don’t care ok? I’m bringing her here in two days time. Do all it takes to force the capsule to dissolve in her bloodstream and give me all of her blood! I don’t care if it only ads one year to my lifespan but I just wanna live longer than I should!!! I can’t die yet Luciano!” He yelled.
    His phone suddenly rang in his pocket, and he released him to pick. It’s Rocco.
    “Stop calling at the wrong time!” He yelled.
    “I barely escaped Royal’s trap so just listen to what I have to say dad. Barnabas works for Royal, and the Gambino family he introduced to you the other time were fake, Roselle is fake too cos he works for Royal, her real name is Dollar” Rocco reported, and his eyes widened.

    PILGRIMS HOSPITAL*
    It’s Serafina’s surgery today, and since daybreak, Franklin has been in the hospital with her, trying to calm her down in preparation for the surgery.
    He’s currently sitting beside her in bed, stroking her hair.
    “I’ll… I’ll come out alive…from the…from the surgery… right?” She said weakly, and he nodded.
    “Of course, you’re strong yunno?” He smiled.
    “Franklin, I heard from one of the… nurses that…if I don’t get surgery … today…. I’ll.. I’ll die” she said again, and Franklin bent over her to kiss her forehead.
    “I told you not to get scared, so chill Sera. I’m here, and I won’t leave” he said, and she nodded.
    “We should start preparing to move her to the theater” the doctor said, coming in.
    “Oh…. Sure, has the liver arrived?” Franklin asked.
    “It arrived just now, the nurses are wheeling it in” the doctor replied, and they heard a crashing sound outside immediately.
    They exchanged glances and ran out at once, and their eyes widened at once too when they saw what’s going on.
    The nurses wheeling the liver in have all been murdered. Their necks were slitted, and the four of them are lying down dead beside the wheel.
    A masked girl (Greta) is standing beside the wheel too, and the transparent bag of liver is in her hand.
    She raised it up with a sharp glint in her eyes, and Franklin started running to her.
    “Stooooop!!!!!” He screamed, but immediately he said that, Greta let go of the bag, and it fell down heavily, making the liver pop out of the bag.
    It smashed on the ground and spilled, getting destroyed completely.
    Franklin stopped running, and his knees weakened, making him fall on them as hot tears escaped his eyes.
    “No!!!!”
    At the same time, Serafina’s monitor began beeping repeatedly, and she began gasping for breath on her bed.

                              ★★★★
    Wherever the bravery came from, she has no idea of, but she held the gun like Franklin said earlier, and she shot.
    The bullet penetrated into Azura’s arm, and she staggered back, holding the already bleeding arm before looking up shockingly at Mia who was already shaking..
    Did she just…did she just shoot someone? 
    The gun almost fell from her as a result of her fearful shiver, it felt like all the bones in her body got melted, like her flesh got chewed out, and she started gasping for breath.
    Franklin suddenly spranged up from where he knelt at, and her eyes widened.
    How did he….he got shot in four places just now so what the…
    He ran to her and grabbed her hand, then he started running with her in the opposite direction while the girls chased.
    Surprisingly, they didn’t shoot for the fear of Anthony. If she mistakenly gets shot and Anthony finds the bullet in her body when they finally bring her to the castle, then it’d be hell on Earth for them.
    They suddenly got on their bikes, and resumed the chase like that, trespassing and maneuvering through impossible places as they strived to catch up with the running cheetah.
    Franklin could pass for one cos despite the fact that he was holding Mia as he ran, his speed is still unmatched.
    Mia’s bare foot didn’t help matters, it kept stinging as they ran, and in a matter of seconds, it began bleeding, and she started crying again.
    Franklin immediately lifted her up in his arms, and her eyes widened just like it did when he carried her yesterday. He started running with her like that, and her eyes stayed on his face.
    Just who the hell is he? Some minutes ago he was down with four bullets in his body, but right now the same guy is carrying her in his arms in a race? 
    Wait…he’s not even bleeding! What’s happening?
    She knows better than ask questions in this situation, so she only held tightly to him as the race continued.
    Anthony’s girls are still chasing, and he’s not even getting weak. How come a human runs almost as fast as bikes?
    He finally got to a bookstore park where a man was about to open his car door.
    He dropped Mia and snatched the key from him.
    When he turned to scream, he was welcomed with Franklin’s gun, and he fainted immediately he saw it.
    That made things easier, so he opened the car door and pushed Mia in.
    He took off his shirt hurriedly, and Mia’s eyes widened when she saw he’s wearing a bulletproof vest. Now she knows why he’s not bleeding, the bullets from earlier hung in the vest without reaching his body.
    He yanked off the vest too, and Mia swallowed hard when she saw his naked upper body, his pecks are insane.
    It’s not right to think like this in this dangerous situation but she couldn’t help but stare till he entered the car with her and started his crazy drive.
    Her head hit on the car window as a result of the roughness, and she began bleeding.
    “Use the f+king belt!” He shouted as he drove, and she started looking for where the belt it.
    She has never entered a car all her life, how is she supposed to know where that is right now?
    She was still searching for it when the car galloped roughly again, and her head got hit again.
    This time,her eyes rolled up, and she passed out on her seat.
    Franklin wasn’t even looking, he’s just concentrated on driving out of the goddamn road.
    Meanwhile, the girls bikes are still behind him, chasing without relent.
    Greta’s bike is leading the rest, and she was grinning loudly as she chased.
    She suddenly got knife out of her hair. She has numerous small knifes up there.
    She threw it forward, targeting the car tyre.
    It penetrated and the tyre got deflated, making the car go in zigzags.
    Franklin tried hard to bring it back to lane, but before he could even do that, the second knife came from Neptune,and it got the second tyre, deflating it too.
    The car went wild this time, and it did a roundabout on it’s own before turning backwards.
    It started driving itself backwardly,  and Franklin closed his eyes as he left the wheel since it’s now useless.
    The car bumped repeatedly into the other coming cars, doing several low bounces till it got to Campania bridge.
    The car crashed on the rails, and from there, it fell into the large water.
    “Shit!” Tomboy shouted from her bike as she stopped it same time as Greta’s.
    They came down first and rushed to the bridge rails, staring at the water from there.
    “You shouldn’t have f+king thrown the knife!” Azura shouted immediately she came down.
    “He’s a mad driver and we all know cos we saw his capabilities when he drove Sergio! If I didn’t throw the knife then he’d escape without doubt. For p+sy sake he even runs almost as fast as our bikes!” Greta yelled back.
    “Wait…he was the mask driver?” One of the girls asked .
    “Isn’t it f+king obvious? Their driving modes are the same!” Greta yelled.
    “But now that you threw the knife and he fell into the f+king water, what are you gonna tell boss? He fell with Mia and we all know how boss cherishes her! Get ready to be grilled when we get back b+ch!” Tomboy yelled.
    “Are y’all ganging up against me right now? Neptune threw a knife too so I shouldn’t be the only one who bears the brunt!” Greta shouted, and that was when they began hearing police sirens again.
    “Damn! Those f+king losers!” Tomboy got on her bike.
    She was the first to ride away then Greta.
    The others started riding off too.
    “Let’s go” Neptune told Azura.
    “You go first” Azura replied, and before Neptune could react, she jumped into the water.
    “F+k! Azura!” Neptune ran to the rails to watch her land.
    “What the f+k is the b+ch doing! Azura!!!” She screamed.
    She was still screaming her name when the cops arrived.
    She raised her hands in the air when numerous guns from them faced her.
    “Don’t move, you’re under arrest” their squad leader said, and she smiled knowingly, her hands still up.
    They started coming close with handcuffs, but before they could even get close, she did a backflip, jumping into the water too.

    MIRZA SLUT HOUSE**
    Rocco walked in with a guard, hands in pocket as his face threw stones everywhere in the house.
    The naked b+ches walking around knows better than to come close to him. He’d strangle them.
    There are about 30+ sl+t houses in the underworld, and he’s well-known in all of it. He loves coming to watch the shameless nakedness of the sl+ts, it’s his most satisfying scene to watch.
    He got to the chosen room number sent by his wife, and she met her waiting this time.
    Elettra was sitting regally on a sofa, her slim legs on each other. You are reading from www.mhiztaemy.com.ng  She was wearing a really thin gown which barely covered her we, and her boobs were popping s+×ily out.
    “Your seduction surely took a lot of work, but too bad it won’t work” Rocco said as he said.
    Elettra smiled widely and picked a cup of wine from the table.
    She drank from it before talking. “Look s+y for you? You’re not even worth is Rocco, I only dressed this way to allow our baby breathe in some fresh air” she replied.
    “Baby?” He squinted, and she dropped a brown envelope on the table.
    “Check it out” she smiled again.
    He picked the envelope with a scowl, and his eyes widened when he brought out the content.
    It’s a pregnancy test result.
    “The hell!” 
    “We f+ked sometimes last month, remember? We were both horny, and we screwed right inside your car. Here it is, your bouncing baby girl” she chuckled.
    “Is this another trick?” He looked at her, folding his fist on the paper.
    “Who’d make a trick about getting pregnant for an @$sh0le like you? Rocco” she glared.
    “But…
    “I know why you’re acting this way. The plots of land in the city, given by my dad to my future kids, you probably have plans to take it away, I’m sure that’s why Sergio pushed you to get married to me without plans to get me pregnant” she cut him off and stood, flaunting her fresh tummy in her transparent body gown.
    “But yunno what? I’m still Elettra Gordon, and millions of Rocco Maranzano won’t be smarter even in millions of years. I’m carrying your baby and you can’t do any f+king dot. Bye husband!” She blew him a kiss and laughed before walking out.
    In anger, Rocco pushed the table away with his leg, then he slapped himself so hard.
    “Father mustn’t hear about this. I need to find a way, the baby needs to be gone” he muttered.
    ****
    CAMPANIA RIVER**
    Franklin finally swam out with Mia after an hour of struggling to get out.
    The car sank immediately they got out of it, so it’s just them right now, though Mia is still unconscious.
    He lay her on the shore and took a deep breath before holding her cheeks, shaking her to wake.
    She remained unconscious even after severely shaking, so he placed his palms on her belly and began pressing it.
    She vomited a large amount of water immediately, and she coughed back to life.
    “You ok?” He asked immediately her eyes opened.
    Her eyes widened again, and she sat up to hug him tightly.
    “I thought I was gonna die the moment you started driving earlier, and when I woke up the car landed in the water and I had to pass out again. I was so scared seriously, I’m not living a peaceful life but I still don’t wanna die, thanks for keeping me safe” she sniffed, and he broke the hug.
    “Let’s get outta here” he said, and she nodded as he gave her an hand.
    She took it, and they left the shore.
    Ten minutes after they left, Azura swam out to the shore, and when she saw the footprints of Franklin and Mia,she inhaled in relief.
    At least, they’re safe.
    She shot him knowingly earlier, knowing he was wearing a bulletproof vest.
    The proportion of his body under the shirt he was putting on revealed it to her, and that’s why she shot that way.
    She’s fervently hoping that he’d be able to forget totally about her with them.
    She was still standing when Neptune swam out too.
    “Neptune” she faced her surprisingly.
    “What’s your relationship with the guy?” Neptune asked immediately, and Azura looked away.
    “Look me in the eye and tell me who he is and why you’re so concerned about him! You knew he was wearing a vest earlier right? That’s why you were able to shoot! I bet you saw him at the hospital the other time too but you reported lies to boss. Who is he to you?” Neptune said again, and she faced her.
    “Speak” Neptune said.
    “He’s my ex, the owner of my handkerchief” Azura replied.
    ***
    MARANZANOS CASTLE, SERGIO’S PALACE**
    Sergio came out of his underground vault with a bloody knife again just like the other time, and he smiled as he admired the knife.
    “Told you not to play smart with me, Mia. You were born in this palace, I watched how your ugly mother pushed you out of her vagina. Your whole life belongs to me so messing with me is a death warrant and you know it, so why? Why did you do it?” He muttered as he began wiping the blood on the knife.
    “The wheelchair is ready, boss!” A guard reported from the door, and he smiled.
    “Franklin is back!” Another one reported almost immediately, and he rushed out of the room.
    Truly, Franklin is just stepping into the palace, and he smiled as he began walking to him, but the smile disappeared when Mia appeared behind Franklin, walking with her two legs.
    Sergio stopped walking immediately, and his face turned stony.
    “You disrespected my order? How dare you try? Why the F is she still walking!” He yelled, and immediately Franklin got to him, he punched him in the face, and Franklin staggered back, sustaining a wound on his jaw.
    Mia swallowed hard and quickly went on her knees.
    “I only wanted to see what the outside world looked like, I had no intention of escaping fully, I…
    Sergio raised his kick to her face immediately, kicking her so hard that she fell and hit her head on the ground. She began bleeding again .
    “You’re ready to trade her life for your sister’s, right?” Sergio said, and Franklin looked at him.
    “The surgery didn’t happen as planned” Sergio smiled, and Franklin’s eyes widened.
    “The remote” Sergio ordered, and a guard gave it to him.
    He pressed the only button on it, and a screen came on on the palace wall, showing Serafina’s ward.
    She’s in bed lifelessly, and her monitor is off. She’s gasping for breath and crying helplessly in bed, but no one is even around her to help.
    “Serafina” Franklin muttered as his throat dried up. He began shaking so much as he watched.
    “Fran..k..li..
    Serafina couldn’t call the last N when she started bleeding from the mouth.
    “What the f+k do you think you’re doing!!!!! Sergio!!!!!!!” Franklin rushed to him and grabbed his neck tightly, choking him so rough.
    “If my sister dies, I’mma kill you!!!!” He yelled.
    “That’s sad. She’s gonna die in two minutes if she’s not attended to, according to doctor Luciano” Sergio laughed.
    Doctor Luciano entered the ward with a gun and placed it on Serafina’s head.
    “How about I just end her before the two minutes” he said, grinning wickedly on screen.
    “No!!!!! No don’t pull the trigger motherf ker!!!” Franklin screamed as he let go of Sergio.
    Swiftly, he got his gun from his bag and aimed straight for Mia’s right leg as tears escaped his eyes.
    Mia’s eyes widened, and her mouth widened too immediately he shot at her right leg.
    “No!!!! No my leg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Arggggghhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

                              ★★★★
    “Please look at me!!! Father will punish me if you don’t. Please face me…I beg you” she cried pleadingly.
    Franklin remained still, neither turning nor moving as she continued begging desperately behind him, her cries getting louder and louder every minute.
    Who the hell makes their child beg a man to look at her n@kedn€ss? What kind of father makes his only daughter host a strip show for men?
    If everything that’s happening right now will make sense, then it’d be that she was brought into this castle, she’s definitely not Sergio’s daughter, no one can tell him otherwise.
    “Please… Look at me” Mia’s pleading voice came again, waking him up from his thoughts.
    “I only have to tell Sergio that I enjoyed your show, right?” He said coolly, and she sniffed.
    “What… what do you..mean?”
    “Put on your clothes, I’m never gonna watch you no matter how much you beg, I’ll give Sergio a good report though” he replied, and she went silent.
    She slowly put on her clothes, and he eventually turned back to her.
    Her eyes are just as red as he could remember, full of pains just like his ken eyes, but the only difference is that his pains can only be seen by looking closely, but hers is written all over her expression, she’s like a sacrificial lamb, waiting to be slaughtered.
    She came closer and held his hand surprisingly. His cold hands on her warm palms made him cringe a bit.
    “You’ll really tell dad a good report?” She asked, and he removed his hand from her palm.
    “Dad? I don’t think that title fits him” he said coldly and started leaving the palace.
    “Wait for me please!” She started rushing after him, but her wounded foot sent pains to her skull, and she fell on her knees.
    “Ouch!” She moaned loudly, and he stopped immediately, turning back slowly.
    She tried standing up again, but she fell again, and her two foot began bleeding again.
    She didn’t try to stand, so she crawled on her knees to him like a dog, and he sighed.
    “Just call the maids to take you to your room” 
    “They might start maltreating me again when we get to my room” she muttered.
    “The maids too?” He squeezed his face.
    “Yes. Only headmaid Patricia and Romeo is nice to me” she replied, and he crouched beside her.
    Before she knew it, he carried her in his arms , and she quickly held his shirt in front for balance, looking at his face shockingly.
    “Just close your eyes and pretend like you’re unconscious” his deep voice spoke without looking at her, and she quickly obeyed.
    “Your room?” He asked.
    “The topmost floor. You can use the elevator at the hallway” she replied, and he walked out of the palace, carrying her in his arms.
    The guards at the hallway looked surprised, but he wasn’t even looking sidewards till he got to the elevator and went in.
    He punched in the 5th floor, and Mia opened her eyes immediately it started moving.
    He still wasn’t looking at her, his face stayed up throughout the ride, and that got him thinking about what kind of person he is.
    Does he really belong here? Was he forced? He doesn’t look like someone who can even kill a fly. His face and personality is cold, but at the same time, he looks too gentle.
    “Don’t judge a book by its cover” he finally spoke up, and she quickly looked away from his face.
    How did he even know she was staring?
    The blood from her foot was still dripping as he stepped out of the elevator into her floor, He opened the door to her room and stepped into the beautiful space, dropping her gently on the bed.
    “Is there a kit in here?” He asked, and she pointed at it.
    He went for it on her table, there he saw numerous books about plastic surgery, piled on the table.
    “I plan to become a plastic surgeon if father allows me, though I doubt if that’d be possible cos I haven’t stepped school” she said from the bed, and he went back to her.
    He squatted in front of her and opened the kit, getting clamps and cotton to wipe the blood on her foot with.
    Immediately he started wiping the blood, he squinted slightly.
    Her blood is definitely different from any human blood. Instead of the normal water-like form, hers is slippery as f+k!
    “My blood? It has always been like this since I grew up, it draws like gum” she said, and he looked up to catch her smiling lightly.
    He returned his attention to her foot and wiped the blood eventually.
    He brought out a bottle of blue liquid and looked up at her again.
    “It’d hurt” he said, and she closed her eyes as he poured it at once.
    She bit her lip so deep as it penetrated into the wound.
    He tied it with a bandage afterwards, and he returned the kit.
    Without another word, he started leaving the room
    “Why did you help me?” She suddenly asked, and he stopped.
    “You remind me of someone” he said.
    “Who? Your ex girlfriend?” She asked, and he turned to her.
    You are reading from www.mhiztaemy.com.ng 
    “If I had a girlfriend your age, that’d be child abuse” he said expressionlessly.
    “What!”
    “On top of that, you’re short and weak, definitely not what I can tolerate” he continued, and her eyes widened again.
    “You remind me of my junior sis” he said, and she blinked.
    “Stay here till tommorow morning, I don’t think it’s advisable to walk with the foot” he said simply.
    “Thanks…by the way” she muttered.
    “You might just die in here at this rate, if you keep behaving stupid” he said and left.
    A minute after he exited, Sofia came in, and Mia shifted back on her bed.
    “What again? Y…you here to make me… suffer again?”
    Sofia smiled and sat beside her in bed.
    “He’s right. You might die here if you stay here stupidly, which is why I’ve come to show you a way out of this castle without using the gate” she whispered.
    “A way out?” Mia replied curiously.
    “The lake, there’s a door underwater” Sofia said.
    “I don’t plan to escape this castle. I have nowhere to go anyways. I only want to go out and see how things are moving in the streets, then come back after some hours” Mia replied, and Sofia came closer.
    “I know, which is why I’m telling you about the door under the lake, you can just go early tommorow morning and return before daybreak” 
    “Why are you telling me this?” Mia shifted back uncomfortably.
    “Don’t ask why, just take my kindness” Sofia smiled.
    ****
    SERGIO’S PALACE**
    “Heard you carried her in your arms to her room, same arm you have a wound on?” Sergio said when Franklin came in.
    He was standing by the mirror, his two arms crossed behind him .
    “The strip show took long, and her foot was bleeding when she rounded up, she had fainted, so to repay the favor of her show, I took her up” he replied flatly, and Sergio faced him.
    “I guess I didn’t tell you heartless is one of the most important traits here, especially when it comes to her. No mercy, you could have allowed her to bleed some blood before the maids would come for her”
    “Is she really your daughter? Or something lower” Franklin replied with a quick glare.
    “You came here to work for me, not to ask questions” Sergio replied, and he sighed.
    Sergio came closer and held his shoulders.
    “You have another mission to go with the others tommorow. R5 operation starts tommorow night, and you’d be leading them to the fumigation” he said.
    “Fumigation?” Franklin squinted.
    “Y’all are to eliminate a family of five and every other thing you see in the house. Even the mosquitoes can’t be spared” Sergio replied, and Franklin swallowed nothing.
    “The full briefing will be given by Rocco tommorow morning, and about your sister’s brain surgery, you don’t have to worry. I’d personally supervise the doctor in the theater tommorow” Sergio smiled and patted his shoulder.
    Franklin bowed slightly before walking out of the palace, and Sergio’s smile disappeared.
    Doctor Luciano came out of the palace bar with a crooked smile on his face.
    “He’s a smart one” he said.
    “I know, and that’s why I’m gonna make fast use of him and dispose him as soon as possible. His type is dangerous to keep for long” Sergio replied.
    ****
    Franklin pulled up his sleeve immediately he left the palace, and  he sighed when he saw blood on his arm bandage.
    It must have gotten scratched as a result of how he carried Mia earlier.
    He covered the bandage and brought his gun out of his pocket, swaying it on his index finger as he walked down the hallway.
    The time is exactly 2am right now. He should be thinking of going to his room to get some sleep before daybreak, but that’s the least of his concern right now.
    This castle is twisted, and curiousness is getting the best of him.
    He was still walking when the smell of cocaine suddenly hit his nose, and he stopped to look sidewards, only to see Aurora sitting on a balcony, sniffing cocaine alone.
    The white substance is on her nose, staining it badly as she sniffed, hitting her head crazily with her palm.
    It got to a point, and she started laughing like a mad woman, almost falling off the balcony.
    Armani suddenly appeared and pulled her down from the balcony.
    “Told you to stay in your room whenever you wanna sniff!” He shouted.
    “And who told you my life rules are yours to make?” Aurora pushed him away and walked out of the balcony.
    She bumped into Franklin, and their eyes met.
    She gave him the middle finger before leaving completely.
    “Don’t mind her, she’s a crazy junkie. I bet she’d go crazy if she doesn’t sniff a day” Armani said.
    “Have you ever gone for fumigation?” Franklin asked straight.
    “Wait…did boss brief you about tommorow’s mission already?” Armani asked.
    “Just answer the question” Franklin said.
    “I haven’t gone for fumigation before, it was Aurora who went, and that involved a family of three and their dog. She cleared them all” he replied.
    “Why are we gonna fumigate the family of five tommorow?” Franklin asked.
    “The father saw what he shouldn’t have seen, and he’s gonna be a witness in court for the case. The criminal hired this organization to clear all his family obviously” Armani explained.
    “Witness assassination” Franklin muttered.
    “Exactly” Armani replied.
    *****
    ROMEO’S PRIVATE HOUSE**
    After getting his car parked, Romeo came out reeking of blood, blood of the two sluts he killed.
    The pleading of the second one only made his blood boil more so he had killed her too, just the way he killed the first.
    He won’t be going to the castle any moment from now.
    He shut the car door and started walking to the door, but he suddenly stopped and walked back to the car.
    “Stop fooling yourself, I know you’re in” he said, and the car trunk opened immediately.
    Roselle came out, arranging her scattered hair with her fingers.
    “I wasn’t expecting less from a mafia’s son” she said, and he came closer.
    “You know my real identity?”
    She smiled and touched his lips seductively.
    “You’re not Pedro Messina, you’re Romeo Maranzano, one of Sergio’s triplets” she said, and he slapped her hand away.
    “Your skin doesn’t seem to be in a good condition, did you got punished for bringing b+ches to the dinner?” She said, and he suddenly grabbed her by the neck, pushing her back violently to the car.
    She gasped painfully, and her eyes turned red instantly.
    “Rom…e..
    “I got punished cos I rejected you, so you should have known better than following me here!” He seethed angrily.
    “I…I… just…I just..I wanna help you cos I… like you!” She struggled to speak, and he let go of her.
    She fell on the ground and started coughing.
    “I don’t need your help, and the next time I set my eyes on you, I’mma kill you” he said meanly and walked in.
    Roselle smiled as she continued coughing, holding her red neck.
    “Wasn’t expecting you to be soft”

    MARANZANOS CASTLE, 6AM**
    Mia couldn’t sleep till now, so she was able to detect it immediately 6 fell on the dot.
    Despite her bandaged foot, she left the room as casual as she always is, to avoid suspicions.
    She guards didn’t stop her anyways, that won’t be her first time of going to the lake that early in the morning.
    She got out eventually and rushed all the way to the lake.
    Thanks to Franklin’s treatment last night, her foot is better, so she’s walking almost accurately. She’s a fast healer, and that’s a plus.
    She got to the lake and stood beside it for a while, thinking about whether to jump or rethink.
    Is there really anything to rethink? She has been camped here all her life, and this is her only chance to see what the world beyond this castle looks like since she might not be able to get out all her life.
    She won’t continue being stupid like Franklin said, she’d take the chance and go. Before 7am, she’d be back like nothing happened.
    She walked into the lake instead of jumping, and she dived inside, swimming to the underwater.
    Immediately she did, Sofia appeared beside the lake with a satisfactory smile 
    “Can’t believe she fell for it. She even got stupider, is it because she didn’t go to school?” She smiled wider and left for Sergio’s palace.
    Sergio was smoking his morning weed when she arrived and bowed in front of him.
    “Boss, Mia is nowhere to be found in the castle” she reported, and he faced her.
    “You should know better by now, that you’d lose your head if you make a false report” 
    “Boss!” A guard rushed in 
    “The opening alarm of the underwater secret door is beeping! Someone used the door!” He reported, and Sergio dropped his weed immediately, standing up.
    “Make it clear!” He shouted.
    “I think Mia escaped through the door!” Sofia said, and Sergio broke the table in front of him with a punch.
    “You don’t have to worry, father. I’ll bring her back to you” Rocco came in.
    “Get me Franklin!” Sergio ordered, ignoring him.
    Both Sofia and the guard left.
    Franklin rushed in almost immediately, and Rocco folded his fists jealously.
    “You’re my most trusted here right now. Bring Mia back into this castle in an hour, and I want her two legs gone before you bring her back! Plant bullets in them! I’ll get her a wheelchair” Sergio ordered.
