Chapter 1. The Last Chance

“Do you know the main headlines are the mafia boss from Palermo’s family right now?”

“I-I just know it from you, boss.”

I work in a journalism company. I need to look for many controversial things to make it a topic and be consumed by the public, that’s my job.

But to deal with this famous elite mafia boss in my country makes me tremble and fear.

Moreover, the mafia boss is very mysterious and it is impossible to know who the figure behind the famous mafia family is.

And if I deal with the mafia it’s a very dangerous risk and they will all kill me ruthlessly.

How can I do all this?

The risk is very big if I take this big mission, if I refuse it maybe I can be fired from my job, while all my family needs me to depend on them

“Hey Alessia, did you agree to cover and get the biggest secret of the mafia? There will be a big reward waiting for you.”

I was silent for a moment and I thought back to all my boss’s very spontaneous words about this big task.

“Are you ready to accept the consequences if you refuse this task?”

My eyes widen, and I widen my gaze to see my boss who is pushing me so hard, I feel like I want to run, but I can’t resist his will.

“Okay, I’ll do the mission.”

“Yes, that’s right, that will be the best decision you ever made.”

I just nodded my head, and kept guessing everything that will happen to me in the future, but I hope everything will be okay.

“This is a map of their whereabouts, but you know the mobsters are mobile and very good at hiding their identities.”

“Okay, I got it, sir.”

Then I immediately got out of the office and went to the address that had been shown by my boss.

With my old vehicle, I went to the road used by the Palermo mafia including their Godfather but it seems I didn’t find what I was looking for.

I kept hiding until I could find the mafia, including their leader.

And some men appeared with very neat clothes, complete with suits and they also looked young.

I immediately took my camera, took some photos of them and I’m ready to collect the best headlines for my boss so that news about these mafias can be known to the public.

But suddenly I was surprised when someone seemed to tap my shoulder.

I was just shocked, I saw a beautiful girl who reprimanded me.

“Hi, what are you doing here?”

“I’m just relaxing and enjoying my afternoon in this place, I’m new here.”

“But why did you bring a camera?”

“Because I am a photographer and my hobby is to take pictures of interesting things.”

I kept dodging and lying about all the questions that the beautiful girl said. She looks like a detective who suspects me, but she looks very charming and trustworthy.

I also removed my ID from my journalist’s office so that no one would know what I was doing, as an act of disguise.

That beautiful girl keeps watching me, but I’m not really giving my attention to her and focusing back on my work.

“Oh, are you thirsty? I brought more drink, I previously bought it for my friend, but I didn’t see it, just take this drink for you.”

“Are you sure? Thank you very much.”

I didn’t think twice about her offer, I just took it without thinking twice about it, because I also feel really hot here.

I just drank it without saying much, because I was very thirsty.

That beautiful girl was still staring at me, she seemed to be watching me, and suddenly I felt dizzy and nauseous.

Instantly I saw all objects near me blurred and lost my sight.

I fell limp and unconscious.

When I fell asleep and was unconscious I heard and felt like someone was constantly trying to wake me up.

“Wake up you lazy girl!”

As soon as I opened my eyes, I could see several people around me, including the beautiful girl I met earlier, they looked very angry at me.

And I saw the figure of a very handsome man, he looks older than my age but doesn’t seem too far from our age gap.

He’s really handsome and very masculine, a mix of the Italian and Greek faces that my boss had previously told me about.

He has extraordinary charisma and is handsome, but he also has an aura of terrifying cruelty.

The handsome man also looks very angry at me, he holds my face tightly and makes me very scared.

“I’m Riccardo Palermo! I’m the leader of the Palermo mafia and no one is allowed to enter our area! Or you will end up dying after this, for having dared to enter my territory!”

I was very surprised, because I had seen the Palermo mafia boss in front of me, and his name was Riccardo, it turned out that he was very far from what I had previously imagined.

I thought he was a bald and fat man who had retired, but I was wrong, he is a very handsome and hot man.

“What do you mean by going to the Palermo mafia headquarters? Who sent you here?”

“I-I’m so sorry, I don’t know anything about that sir, I just accidentally walked over to this place.”

Before I finished speaking, I suddenly saw a woman who approached me and immediately slapped me hard. I could feel the pain in my face and mouth from the slap.

I feel like I want to scream and hold my cheek that hurts from that woman’s slap until my face hurts, but I can’t, my hands are in handcuffs and I feel like my life will end soon after this.

“You’re lying! I don’t like people who lie at all, your pain isn’t as much with your lies.”

“I-I don’t know about everything that happened sir, please forgive me.”

“I have strong evidence that you are a spy, this is your camera and your cellphone that takes a lot of our portraits, and it is strictly prohibited, I will immediately execute anyone who dares to take photos of the Palermo mafia!”
