CARMELO
Junior and I stormed inside the mansion and found our family alive. I took a deep breath and hugged each one of them after inspecting their bodies. They were unharmed. I didn't know what would've been of me if anything happened to them. The house was a big mess, like a massacre ground. I made a quick call for a doctor and shoved the phone back in my pocket.
I had millions of questions and as time kept going without finding any answers, rage kept smearing inside me. Who dared to hire assassins to kill my family? How did they get past our security defenses? Why are they all dead because I wanted them alive just so I could unalive them myself? First thing first, the footage.
"It was Chiara. She saved us." Mama blurted, making my feet halt. My head whipped around to her. She placed down a glass of water that Junior had brought for her. Celia nodded, still crying. "I was with her." The wounded Black added. I walked back to them, "Tell me everything." We sat down on the ruins.
"I don't know how but when I came out of the library, I heard a commotion in the living room. And when I came to take a look, they had Mama and Papa on the ground with guns pointed to their heads. I was so scared, Melo." She sniffled. I caressed her back while the other hand clenched into a fist. "I don't know what came over me, I bolted out. But I didn't reach far, they caught me and brought me back. Then…" She struggled, choking in her tears.
I was going to kill whoever did this. And I was going to make it so painful that they were going to remember me even in the afterlife. "Then one of them hit Papa in the head and he passed out. Then lights went out and chaos happened. That one almost killed me but Chiara had her first." I kissed her hair, letting the truth settle in. Chiara saved my family. I didn't even know how to process that yet. "It's okay, Princess. Stop crying." I hugged her close to my chest. How dare they make my precious sister cry?
Biggy stormed into the living room and stood before me with his head hung low. "I have no excuse, boss. I have failed you. Please take my life." He faced the floor, jaws tight. As much as I wanted to kill him. I was curious about how it all happened instead. "How, Biggy? There are about hundreds of people guarding this estate, plus the alarms everywhere. How did this happen?" I could feel something threatening to snap inside me. Hot and maddening.
"I just found out that our foods and drinks have been compromised. They drugged us. I'm truly ashamed of myself, boss. Please forgive me." I rose and walked out of the mansion. The moment we heard the news from Black, we hurried back. But because of the damn weather, we couldn't fly. So, we raced across the city like mad men and made our way here. We found a couple of them on the driveway and had a fucking red party with them.
The man that we had left alive was brought to the lawn. I crouched down to his level and gripped his chin. "You will tell me who sent you. And you will tell me now."
