“What did you say? You want me to help you escape?” Bianca asked starring at Cesare.
“Yes. Help me leave and I will help you get wh@tëver you want” Cesare said, smirking.
“I don’t need your help. What I want, I get myself. So don’t think I will help you leave, you will be rotting in here just like every other hostage we’ve brought here in the past” Bianca said and left the torture room.
“I doubt that. You will end up coming back to help me” Cesare said, smiling devilishly.

“What’s taking you long” Mariano said.
“Am putting your things in order. If we are going to share a room then start putting your things in order cause am a clean freak” Camila said from the large closet where she was folding one of Mariano’s shirt.
She was deep In work that she failed to notice Mariano cat like movement until he held her by the waist.
“You aren’t suppose to be out of bed” she said, standing still while he nuzzle her neck from behind.
“I know but I just can’t wait anymore. You said something to me yesterday and I want to hear it again, you promise to say it when we finish the thing with Cesare and now that its done, I…”
“I love you” she said, cutting him off.
Slowly, he turn her to face him, watching her face to read her thoughts.
“Really?” He asked, wanting to be sure.
“I love you Mariano. I know you have reasons to doubt me since some few days ago, I was just telling you that I h@të you but when you got shot, I realise how important you are to me, I felt so lost thinking you were going to die and now that you are here with me, I don’t ever want you to be hurt again, I love you too much to lose you” Camila admitted, feeling a little shy.
“If you keep starring at me like that, I might just melt” Camila added when he kept starring without saying a word.
“You don’t believe am in love with you?” Camila asked only to pulled in a tight embrace.
“What do you expect me to say when you’ve said it all. I…have been waiting for this day. To hear you say you love me as much as I love you. You have no idea how happy I am right now and if it weren’t for this injury, I would have lift you into my arms and spin you around while shouting at the top of my voice” he said, not being able to hide his excitement.
Camila giggle, winding her arms around his neck.
“Truth be told, I also want to scream it out loud, but we’ve got to save it for another time. The only thing important now is that you know how I feel and I know how you feel”
“You are right. I love you my mafia lady” he said, kissing her gently.
Soon the kiss got intense and Camila found herself being lifted on a table while he kept kicking and sucking her lips.
It wasn’t until she felt his hand on her B@@b that she stop him.
“What? You think I won’t be able to perform because of my injury?” He asked, his eyes following her lush swollen lips.
“It’s not that. Am just worried since Lucas and the others will be here soon, we won’t want him seeing us, right?”
“Then I have no choice but to call Selena and tell her to delay their arrival a bit” Mariano said, pulling out his phone but she snatch it from him.
“Definitely not! We can wait for him to leave and then, we’d continue from there” Camila said without thinking.
“Hmm…I like the sound of that” he said making the poor thing blush.
“Mommy! Daddy!” They heard their boy call and quickly went to meet him.
“How are you daddy?” Lucas asked, touching his father face.
“As you can see champ. Am fine” Mariano replied, hugging the little boy to himself.
“Tell me who hurt you so I can punch him in the face” Lucas said.
“Really? How about I take you to the torture room with….”
“Mariano!” Camila called and he gave her a smile.
“Don’t worry champ, I have it under control” he said and Lucas gave him a hug.
“Don’t ever get hurt again, daddy” Lucas told him.
“I won’t, I promise” Mariano said, pulling Camila into his arms too for a family hug.

^^ EVENING ~ GYM ^^
Enzo is the only one in the gym, he was busy punching the punching bag that he fail to notice Lenora’s entry.
She stood watching his muscle flex whenever he hit the punching bag.
Not being able to hold back, she went towards him and touch his arm almost scaring the life out of Enzo.
“Sorry if I scare you. I was just so drawn to your body… I mean your muscle” Lenora correct quickly.
“They are so strong and big and protective. I wonder how it will feel around a woman body” Lenora said seductively.
“You won’t be finding that out since you are not my type and you never will be ” Enzo said.
“So you are saying that you will pick a skinny bone like Luna against this luscious body of mine?” Lenora asked and slowly, Enzo walk towards her.
“You are right. When it comes to figure and beauty, you have all but what good is that when your heart is as empty as your brain” Enzo said, wiping the smile off her face.
“I’d rather go for a skinny woman with a warm heart than for a sëxy blondie with a dull brain and cold heart” Enzo added.
“How dare you insult me! Who the hell do you…”
“I suggest you leave, I don’t want my skinny sweetheart to see you here when she arrive, so leave ” Enzo said cutting her off.
“Jack@$$” Lenora said and head for the door.
As soon as she got outside, she saw Luna on her way and at that moment, a devious plan came to mind.
Losing a few button of her shirt, she ruffle her hair making it look disarray and went back to Enzo who was busy checking out a glove for Luna.
She turn him to her and immediately, smash her lips on his.
And that was how Luna found them when she arrive.

“What are we going to do? The boss is now their captive” One of Lilo’s men said as he pace around the room.
“What if we bust him out?”
“If we decide to do that, then none of us will survive. Mariano isn’t that dumb, you saw how he tricked us hours ago” Lilo said to him.
“Then what should we do? Boss Cesare is definitely going to be waiting for us!”
“Shut up and let me think” Lilo said, ruffling his hair in agitation.
“What are you doing?” The guard ask when he saw Lilo using his phone.
“Trying to call my sister you moron! since she’s at sand castle, it will be easy for her to get Cesare out of their hold, So give me space and let me call her!” Lilo yelled at him.
The phone rang thrice before his sister answer the call.
“Listen to what I have to say carefully” Lilo began….
