Chapter 68: DISRUPTION

MARCUS BLOOM

This is my chance.

Coukd even be the only chance I have to bring myself up the list on Lorenzo's mind.

He would feel honored and secured when I tell him. I would literally be saving him from the ordained hands of death….from the ruthless grip of his brother, Roberto.

And to crown it all, I just might have a chance to get that document.

I have to get to the Upper Room before the party start. I just might not be able to get it during the party.

I know Roberto would have his eyes everywhere since he had a grand plan in progress against Lorenzo.

“Lorenzo, can you hear me?” I said in a low tone as I hid in a corner just somewhere in the mansions compound.

“What is it, Marcus?” His voice rented the phone speakers like he wasn't willing to hear me out.

“Speak, I'm all ears. I don't have all the time, Marcus.”

“You can't come to the party. It's very dangerous. You won't survive it,” I warned.

There was an awkward silence over the phone. At first, I thought Lorenzo was probably terrified by my statement but then surprisingly a laughter came out aloud through the phone speakers.

I leaned away from the phone and gave a smirk…”What the heck is wrong with this dude? Is he deaf or something?” I blurted out of annoyance.

“Oh, I'm not deaf, motherfucker. I heard you loud and clear but I'm sorry all that sounds like trash to me.”

“Who said coming to Roberto's mansion was ever safe? Pfff…nothing is ever safe in the Mafia World, Marcus. You ought to know that by now….” He replied in a sharp tone.

“No, you don't get me….You can't be here tonight…R…” I paused the minute I heard footsteps.

I ended the call immediately.

Fortunately for me, it was one of the maids. “Esther, what are you looking for around here?” I asked in a strict tone.

“I'm sorry, Sir, but we need your help. I think Madam Lucia is in trouble. One of the men is trying to molest her. Please, help her..” she pleaded as she went down on her knees.

“Hold on…you came down all the way hee looking for me so you could spill this nonsense….and what do you think I was gonna do? What if I want you also? Who then would come and plead on your own behalf?” I questioned in an aggressive tone.

She blinked.

“Please Sir. I know you can do tonus as you like but we need her in the kitchen and Mr. Roberto wouldn't like delay of any sort,” she protested.

I wasn't ready to help Lucia out of the situation. I already knew the man in question had to be Duder. I know he has always wanted to get her laid.

So it had to be him however the young maid had a point. Roberto shouldn't catch them doing such at their critical moment.

“Where are they?” I asked.

“Somewhere along the stairs that lead to the Upper Room…” she answered like she was about to cry.

Hmmm..the Upper Room. This might be the opportunity I need to get thee before the party.

After all, I am the Captain and Head of guards. I could possibly give the excuse that I was checking the whole place out to make sure everything was intact and well stocked before the party.

Yeah…that would be my smart response.

“You can leave already. I would handle it.”

“Hey….I don't want to hear any of this from your mouth or the other maids. Just face your work. Lucia will join you shortly. Am I clear?”

“Yes, Sir,” she responded with a knee bow and ran off.

I got to the stairs and right there was Duder standing and forcefully caressing Lucia.

“Duder….that's enough!”

“What the fuck is wrong with you? What is the meaning of this nonsense?”

“Uhn? What if the Boss walks in on you both?”

“Sorry, Captain..”

“Lucia, bring your head over here..”

She kept sobbing and wouldn't stop….”Hey, that's okay already. He hasn't touched you so stop acting like a toddler. Now listen to me, you know we still have unfinished business and I know you might be thinking otherwise..”

“Whatever thing you have up in your head, dead that thought. I still have your mother and Duder still holds the remote to her life. If you mess anything up for me, I wil tell him to kill your mother!”

“No, please I wont..Please don't.”

“After the party, you meet him and treat him well without anyone suspecting anything…you do that then I will let your mother go and as for Katherina, its a plan for another day..”

“Now leave here and don't you dare say a word to anyone…” I blurted out in anger.

She ran off in a haste.

“Duder, get the fuck out of here. Don't ever try that shit in here again. Now, go get the men ready. We need extra ammunitions so everyone should suit up…” I ordered and he walked out immediately.

Ooooooh…..

“I have to be quick,” I muttered to myself as I watched if Duder had completely walked away.

I walked gently up the stairs whilst I kept looking backwards to know if anyone was watching or coming.

Immediately I got to the door, I opened it.

How crazy it is, the only persons that have a key to this room is the Boss himself and he gave a spare to Lucia whenever the celebration is on

I wonder when I will get my own spare and I am the captain, what a big joke on me!!!

I glanced everywhere in the Upper Room the minute I got in. Where coild a document be kept in this place?

Suddenly, my eyes landed on the shelves. It was a no go area. I remember vividly well how Roberto protected that section of the room even during the last celebration.

It qas like a sacred part of the room nobody is allowed to trespass.

I walked hurriedly towards rhe shelves and opened one of the lockers but it was empty.

I opened the second one, same thing

Third one, empty.

Fourth one, dusty and vacant. At this point, I was already frustrated.

I opened the last locker reluctantly and alas! A pile of documents staring at me in the eye.

“It has to be somewhere in here then,” I said to myself.

Suddenly, I sensed another person had entered into the Upper Room and was also tiptoeing like he or she was avoiding being heard.

Who the fuck could the be and what does the person want?

I hid immediately.

The figure got closer, evidently from the shadows on the wall.

Wh-What?

Who is this person?
