La Entanglement

CHAPTERFIVE

After Richardo woke up to blood stains on his bed,evidence that Gabrielle was indeed a virgin. He has been avoiding meeting her ,not because he felt any guilt or pity for her but because he didn’t want an awkward moment. He has never slept with a virgin before but he has heard stories how terrible it is after sleeping with one.More like they would expect you to wife them up.

But that was the least of his trouble now,his informant just told him that the boxes which they have been waiting for kthe Italian man to ship have landed and in this game,nobody can go to such a place and walk out peacefully.Especially since those boxes contain some special weapons.

For a mission like this,he usually sends out his most trusted men who would return alive and with the property intact. Richardo immediately sent a message across through Carlos and all of them assembled. Trinkets,Diddy,Carlos,Piper,Trixter e.t.c .

When they had all assembled,Richardo laid out the plan he had on how they would enter the building where the boxes were loaded and how they would leave. “Piper and Trixter would be incharge of taking the boxes” Then “Trinkets and Diddy would be incharge of covering them as they take out the boxes! While I wait for them at the entrance,Did you all get that??” Richardo finalized. “Yes Boss!” They acknowledged. “You can all go now! Remember we are assembling at 12am,so go get ready guys!!”. They all dispersed.

As they all left the underground,Trixter met Gabriella heading to her quarters,he ran up and caught up with her. Trixter has always had his eyes on her,since the first day he walked into the camp but he wanted to take time in pursuing her.“Hello! Fine girl! My name is Trixter and yours??” “My name is Gabriella” she stopped and replied to him.“No wonder! Camilla sang about you! The sun sets at the sight of your pretty face” Trixter flattered her.

Gabriella just laughed and told him ,he was so sweet for trying to put a smile on her face.“A beautiful girl deserves to smile everyday” Gabriella laughed some more.

Richardo was just smoking and watching them from the balcony.

He wouldn’t admit he felt a little pang of jealousy but his ego took over. Afterall there was nothing really special about her ,so he thought. When he looked again,Trinkets came to join them and she looked up just in time to see the boss watching Trixter and Gabrielle. She knows the young girl has caught the boss’s eyes and it’s only a matter of time before he admits it.

Richardo went in immediately and closed his window. He just felt like a little boy being caught in an act by his mother.Speaking about his mother,he used to be a real mommy’s boy and he was just content with having his mother’s love,until chaos rocked their life and took away one person he ever loved in his life.Maybe there was another person he loved for a moment.

It was during one of the vacations he went on with his mother when life was good that he met the little girl on a beach..They were all kids even though he was slightly older than her. She was trying to build a house with the sand but it kept scattering each time she finished. She was already becoming frustrated when little Richardo met her and offered to help.She was fascinated as he built it with ease,in appreciation she pecked him on the cheeks and told him that her parents told her to always show appreciation and it was her way of showing him appreciation.

Both of them played together for the rest of the day till it was time to part. She gave him a butterfly hairpin,told him it was her favorite hairpin and she wants him to hold on to it till they meet again.She never told him her name but Richardo chose to call her princess because she looked like a princess. Richardo kept the hairpin up till date and hoped patiently that their path would cross again.

But how would he know when their path crosses again? Or would he know?
