THE MAFIA DON AND HIS NUN

Alfred didn’t wait for Antonio to finish his statement before dashing out of the hall. He ran all the way to his mansion.

He barged inside his mansion and ran up the stairway that led to his bedroom where Theresa was.

He got inside his bedroom to see Theresa sitting upright on the bed. A breath of relief escaped his lips, and he walked closer to the bed. He sat down beside Theresa who had a smile on her face.

“You look sweaty, my Lord,” Theresa said, “Did you run all the way to see me?”

“Yeah,” Alfred replied, “I was worried. I thought you were gonna die.”

“Never, I am never gonna leave you, my Lord.” Theresa said, “When it comes to you, death itself doesn’t stand a chance against me.”RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

A thin smile broke out of Alfred’s lips as he stared deeply into Theresa’s eyes. He had never seen someone as devoted as Theresa. She even risked her life to save him.

Alfred cupped her cheeks with his hands and he placed a soft kiss on her lips. Theresa sat on Alfred’s laps and she wrapped both her hands around his neck, deepening the kiss.

The kiss was slow and full of passion and affection. They both sucked on each other’s lips, producing sexy sounds.

“Hm-hmm.” They heard someone clearing his throat and they broke the kiss.

Alfred and Theresa averted their gazes to the doorstep to see Antonio, standing with his hands pocketed in his trousers.

Theresa climbed down Alfred’s laps and she sat down beside him.

“Sto interrompendo qualcosa? (Am I interrupting something?)” He asked in Italian.

“Sì, sei tu (Yes, you are.)” Alfred replied in Italian.

“I need to see you oustside, Alfred.” Antonio said, “I have something to tell you.”

“I’ll be right back, sweetheart.” Alfred said, placing a kiss on Theresa’s forehead, then he climbed down the bed and walked out of the room.

He descended down the stairway to the living room. Antonio was seated on a couch with a worried expression on his face.

“You said you wanna tell me something,” Alfred said as he loweree himself to sit on a couch opposite Antonio, “What’s it?”

Antonio adjusted himself on the couch, “I managed to remove the bullet from that lady’s body. But..” He paused.

“But what, Antonio?”

“The bullet was poisoned.” Antonio dropped the bombshell.

“You mean Theresa’s body system has been poisoned?” Alfred asked with furrowed brows.

“Yeah,” Antonio nodded.

“Can’t you flush the fucking poison out of her body?” Alfred asked under clenched jaw.

“No, this type of poison can’t be flushed out. It needs an antidote,” Antonio replied, “Without the antidote, Theresa will die before twenty-four hours.”

Alfred’s face went pale when he heard Antonio’s last statement.

“You have to find the antidote within twenty-four or else, that lady will be history.” Antonio said.

Alfred was quiet. His face had grown darker and blank.

He stood rose up from he couch and walked out of the house, heading straight to the cell where Jeff was locked.

*********

Caesar unlocked the cell and Alfred walked in.

Jeff immediately stood up from the ground. The expression on Alfred’s face told him something was wrong.

In a split seconds, Alfred grabbed Jeff’s collar and hit his back on the wall.

“The bullets in the gun you tried to shoot me with, those bullets were poisoned, right?” Alfred asked as he stared into Jeff’s frightened gaze.

“Yes, yes they were poisoned.” Jeff nodded.

“Where is the antidote for the poison?” Alfred asked.

“I don’t know. I…

“Don’t fuck with me, Jeff!” Alfred cut him off angrily, landing a punch on on his face.

That punch took him falling to the ground. It was a good jab. His jaws shifted a bit under that punch.

“Where’s the fucking antidote?!” Alfred asked angrily with fire blazing in his eyes.

Jeff remained on the ground on his hands and knees. His body was shaken by Alfred’s punch but he took it well.

“I swear! I don’t know.” Jeff replied infuriating Alfred the more.

Caesar remained on his spot, watching the scene with his hands behind his back.

Raising his leg up, Alfred kicked Jeff hard in the mouth. Jeff tumbled over and rolled. Alfred walked over to him and drew him up by his collar.

Jeff’s brown eyes regarded Alfred’s as Alfred glared at him. “I’ll ask you one last time, Jeff. Where is the fucking antidote!” Alfred snarled at him and socked his face with another punch to the face.

Blood spurt of his mouth as he fell to the floor.

“I swear I don’t know. My superior was the one who gave me that gun. She is an expert in poison. She might have the antidote with her.” Jeff rushed his words.

“You mean that Japanese lady, Shikita?” Alfred asked with raised brows.

“Yes. Shikita only flies to Japan by weekends and tomorrow is weekend,” Jeff replied, “Tomorrow is the only shot you have at getting the antidote.” He added, wiping off the blood on his lips with the back of his hand.

“We are flying over to Japan first thing tomorrow morning and you’re also coming with us.” Alfred said.

“Yes.” Jeff nodded.

“Follow me.” Alfred instructed Jeff.

Jeff stood up from the ground and he walked out of the cell with Alfred and Caesar.

**********

Alfred walked inside a large living room with Caesar and Jeff walking behind him.

Seated inside the room were Rose, Viper, Douglas and two men named Ocatavius and Xavier.

Octavius and Xavier were identical twins and top members in Alfred’s gang. They were really huge and made up of muscles and armour.

If you think of the size and structure of a gorilla, then you’ll get a picture of how the twin brothers looked like.

Everyone in the room rose up immediately Alfred stepped in. They all had surprised looks on their faces as they stared at Jeff who also walked inside the room.

“Why is he still alive?” Douglas asked Alfred, pointing at Jeff.

“Because he has useful information.” Alfred replied as he lowered himself to sit on a couch.

The other members also had their seats.

“We are flying over to Tokyo tomorrow morning.” Alfred said.

“What’s our mission there?” Viper asked.

“We are going to capture one of Dante’s front men.” Alfred replied.

“Dante has front men?” Douglas asked with raised brows.

“Yeah, and one of them will land in Tokyo tomorrow.” Alfred replied.

“How did you know all of these?” Viper asked.

“Jeff.” Alfred simply replied.

Viper glanced at Jeff who was seated on a couch with a smirk on his face, then she averted her gaze back to Alfred.

“Jeff told you all these and you believe him?”

“Yeah, I believe him.” Alfred replied.

“What about the new lady? Did she survive the shot?” Rose asked.

“Yeah, she did,” Alfred replied, “But the bullet she was shot with was poisoned. And If we don’t get the antidote before seventy-hours, she’ll die.”

The room fell silent.

“Caesar, tell one of the men to go bring Matilda. She’s also coming with us for mission Tokyo.” Alfred said after the brief silence.

Caesar bowed and he walked out of the room.

“This person we are going to capture, tell us more about her.” Douglas said.

Jeff cleared his throat and he rose up from his seat.

“Her name is Shikita, a Japanese,” Jeff said, “She is an expert in poison. She is also an assassin who she kills her victims without mercy. Shikita wears a mask, so does the other front men of Dante.”

“So, we….

“And one last thing,” Jeff cut Viper off, “Shikita is as cunny as a fox and venomous as a viper. Killing her is a suicidal mission. In summary, mission Tokyo is suicidal.” He concluded.
