THE MAFIA DON AND HIS NUN

“Did they purposely cut out the power or what?” Alfred asked as he tried to make out Theresa’s face in the dark elevator.

“I don’t know.” Theresa replied from where she stood. “Maybe they really did it on purpose so that they can catch us.” She added with a sigh.

The elevator fell silent as non of them said a word to each other. Their minds were occupied with their thoughts.

Theresa recalled a part of the conversation she had with Brad.

“Your father wants you to join him. He knows that you’re with the Gilberto family and he wants you to leave them. Come and join us. Join the Marcel family and let’s take down the Gilbertos together.”

She let out a heavy sigh as she gazed at nothing in the darkness.

She was confused. She doesn’t know whether she should betray Alfred and join her father’s organization or she should remain with Alfred and become her father’s enemy.

She really loves her father a lot and would do anything he wants without thinking twice.

But betraying Alfred was something she couldn’t do. Especially when she hasn’t found out whether the Alfred standing beside her is her childhood lover or not.

Her mind was in a state of total confusion and disarray.

Alfred on the other hand was silently hoping that he makes it out of the building alive with Theresa.

The phone inside his pocket is his only hope of finding out whether Brad is the right hand man of Dante or not.

The recording on the phone is the only way to find out who the lady standing beside him really is.

The only way to know the true identity of the lady standing beside him.

Although, the phone was damaged but Alfred knows that once he gives the phone to Stacy, she would fix it in no time.

And that’s one of the reasons why he wants to make it out of the place alive.

The elevator lights suddenly came back on, and the elevator started going up.

Theresa and Alfred exchanged quick glances.

The both of them held their guns tightly as the elevator almost got to their destination.

The elevator finally came to a stop and the door swished open. Alfred and Theresa raised their guns, ready to shoot whoever they sighted.

But they were surprised to see dozens of securities laying dead on the ground with bullet holes in their foreheads.

Alfred and Theresa cautiously walked out of the elevator.

“Hey man.” They heard a familiar voice and they both turned tgeue necks sideways to see Douglas leaning against a wall, rolling a pistol with his fingers.

Alfred lowered his weapon, and he raised a questioning brow at Douglas.

“What are you doing here?” He asked.

“Came to save your ass.” Douglas replied with a smirk.

“You mean you shot all these men?” Theresa asked, and Douglas smirk widened.

“Yeah, nun.” He replied.

“But we didn’t hear gunshots or any sound of attack.” Theresa said, confusedly.

“That’s because our guns had silencers.” Douglas replied.

“We?” Alfred shot up a brow.

“Yeah, we. Viper and Caesar also came along. Caesar took out the power and Viper handled the securities at the lower floor while I took the stairway and killed all these motherfuckers.” Douglas explained.

“Wow!” Theresa exclaimed in a low tone, glancing at the dead bodies on the ground.

“What about Brad?” Alfred asked.

“Brad?” Douglas furrowed his brows.

Alfred turned around and he started walking to Brad’s room.

Theresa and Dougla followed himed from behind.

They got to Brad’s room and he was not in the room. Alfred saw blood traces that led to the window.

“I guess he escaped through the window.” Douglas said from behind Alfred. “Is he the Brad we are looking for?”

Alfred turned his gaze to Theresa. “We will find out when we get to the empire.”

Theresa’s heart skipped a when she heard Alfred’s statement. The way he looked at her meant that he was suspecting her already.

“Let’s go.” Alfred said, and he brushed past Theresa.

Theresa sighted her phone laying on a couch and she walked to pick it. Surprisingly, it was still in a good shape.

She tucked the phone inside her pocket, then she walked out of the room. She stepped inside the elevator before the door could close.

The elevator shut and it rode them down.

Non of them said a single word till the elevator finally came to a halt.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

They stepped out of the elevator immediately the door swished open.

The stepped inside the empty lobby and they walked out of the building.

They got outside to see Viper and Caesar. The both of them were standing beside two black SUVs.

Caeser opened the backseat door for Alfred who entered the car immediately. Theresa also entered inside the car and she sat beside alfred.

Caesar got behind the wheels, and he blared the engines to life. He stepped on the acceleration pedal and he drove out of the place.

Douglas and Viper followed them from behind in the second SUV.

-ONE HOUR LATER-

All the top members were all present in the lab including Matilda, Shikita and Theresa.

Alfred was pacing back and forth the large lab as Stacy repaired his phone.

Theresa’s heart was banging hard against ribcage. She was gazing at Stacy, silently praying that she doesn’t fix the phone because if she does, her (Theresa) identity will be revealed.

“Done.” Stacy announced and Theresa felt her soul leaving her body that moment.

Alfred rushed to Stacy and he collected the phone from her. It was as good as new.

Alfred connected the phone to a big screen and he scrolled through his apps, searching for a particular app.

He finally found it, then he tapped the phone recorder app. He opened the list of recorded files and he found the recorded conversation of Brad and Theresa.

He tapped it and the file started playing.

Everyone’s eyes widened when they heard Brad saying that Theresa is Dante’s daughter.

Alfred stopped playing such he file and everyone turned their gazes to Theresa.

Theresa knew she was busted and there was no wat out for her.

“So, you are Dante’s adopted daughter?” Alfred asked, taking slow strides towards her.

“I knew she was a spy. Dante sent her here to monitor our movements. I fucking knew this nun was not to be trusted! She must be killed tonight!” Douglas yelled.

A wicked smirk broke out of Matilda’s lips. She was obviously happy.

Happy that Theresa was gonna die that night and she would finally have Alfred all to herself.

Viper had an expressionless face, same as Shikita, Rose and Caesar.

Stacy was the only person who had a pitiful look on her face. She knew Alfred was surely going to kill Theresa.

Thersaa shifted back as Alfred approached her. He had a deadly glare on his face and his hands were clenched.

Theresa kept shifting backwards till her back hit the wall.

Alfred got to her and he stood in front of her. She lowered her head in fear and her breaths were shaky.

“Raise your head and look at my face!” Alfred commanded.

Theresa slowly raised her head and her heart skipped another beat when her gaze met Alfred’s cold gaze.

“So, you are Theresa Marcel, the adopted daughter of Dante Marcel, right?” He asked, casting her a stony stare.

Theresa remained quiet, fiddling with her fingers.

“Answer me!” Alfred yelled and Theresa nodded immediately.

Alfred removed his gun from underneath his coat, and Theresa’s eyes widened in fear.

Everyone in the lab knew what was gonna happen next.

Alfred cocked the gun and Theresa’s eyes widened the more.

Alfred pointed the gun on her forehead and Theresa slowly closed her eyes, her body shivering.

Everyone was expecting to hear a gunshot but they eyes widened. Shock was obvious on their faces when they saw what Alfred did next.

Instead of shooting Theresa like they had expected, he shocked them by crashing his lips on Theresa’s lips, kissing her softly.

Theresa herself was also shocked, but she recovered from the shock immediately, and she wrapped her hands around Alfred’s neck deepening the kiss.

Each and every person in the lab was beyond shocked as they gazed at the scene in front of them.

It’s safe to say that Matilda was the most shocked person in the lab. Her legs were trembling and she almost fell, but she held herself.

Alfred slowly broke the kiss with a smile on his face, then he said.

“I love you, Theresa.”

That statement doubled the shock everyone was feeling. Matilda could no longer hold herself so she fainted.
