MAFIAS CLASH

CHAPTER V

Seated in a conference room was Carlos who had just finished the meeting to discuss the report and plan of action after this failed mission.

But he's head wasn't in the meeting. He kept on drifting off and wasn't focused so his assistant had to send the other police heads out pushing the continuation of the meeting to a later hour

Carlos stood up and stood at the balcony staring at the brightly lit New York city the light shone like those beautiful emerald eyes he can't seem to let go of.

........

Getting home. He first encountered his mother who stared at him worried. The lady had been waiting patiently for her son ever since the shoot out but he didn't come home

"Carl are you alright". Said the poor woman who had a slowly wrinkled face thanks to all the stress and struggles she had been through.

"Mom I'm fine. Just a bullet graze that's all".

With that he hugged her and got into the house and went upstairs to his bed room to freshen up.

...........

"So Damian Montenegro what do you do for fun". Alora asked as she put on her gloves getting on the combat mat.

Without any response Damian also wore another pair and got on the mat.

They both started fighting.

"Because you're a girl I will go easy on...."

Before Damian completed his words, he was already on the ground

With a cold smirk Alora said "Didn't quite get what you said". In anger Damian stood up to fight again but his feet where cornered and he was back on the floor again.

Staring at her with anger as she turned to take off the gloves he tried to get her again but she took the hand he extended and sent him back down.

" Every now and then, you should be more calm and alert. Your anger isn't going to help you".

Taking a deep breath she continued

"You haven't given a clear reason why you decided to visit my territory". She said with a serious look play time was over.

"I want an alliance". Damian blurted out with no emotion.

Alora smirked and looked at him" It's like you came to the wrong person".

But he did not give up he continued "It's either that or I finally take you down completely". Damian said with impatience. Alora already getting pissed "Then be my guest". With that the conversation ended there.

..........

"Alora are you sure about this". The old man asked staring at his daughter who had just relies what she had discussed with with the other party.

"Yes I am. Something about all these doesn't feel right. Something big is about to happen though I don't know it yet. I feel the Montenegros are trying to drag us down with them". Saying that she turned back to the floor to ceiling window deep in thoughts.

"Are you sure you are not just being paranoid here. Because I don't see any wrong with an alliance. It will make us stronger". The old man said stressing on his point more.

"You must not trust him but come to a truse for the family business".

Alora took a deep breathe and turned to her dad"You signing that contract is at your own expense and I won't be part of this". That said she walked out of the office in anger.

"Get the car ready we are leaving now". She said to her driver as soon as she got to the door. Without any questions the car was I front of her already.

...........

Carlos standing infront of his investigation board was holding a picture of a lady with only her green beautiful eyes visible he stared at it and spoke to himself. "Alora Morelio the mysterious girl behind the scenes running the biggest syndicate. I'm this close to getting you". His words and cold smile never reached his eyes because he kept on drifting back to the face he saw fantasizing over it. At that point he got a call.

"Carlos a lady called earlier to meet up tomorrow at the flora garden by night". He looked puzzled and before he could ask who it was the person on the other end continued "She said hide and seek is over that since you are so bad at seeking she'll just reveal herself". That said he accepted the invitation and ended the call.

............

"Alora told me everything. Let's talk more over breakfast". The old man said ushering Damian to the dinning area. It turns out he didnot leave as Alora had told him to. He rather made himself comfortable in a room there ready to better propose this matter to Mr Morelio.

And he's plan actually worked because Mr Morelio was currently passing an envelope to him

"That's our business agreement go through it and give me your feedback".that said the old man stood up to take a call outside.

Immediately, Damian handed the envelope to he's assistant. "Go through this I have other pending matters to tend to today". That said he also got up and left with a glint of victory in his eyes.
