THE MAFIA DON AND HIS NUN

The convoy of cars raced into the large compound after an hour drive.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

The convoy pulled up in the car shed, and two men hurriedly climbed down their Jeep to open the backseat doors for Alfred and Theresa.

Alfred and Theresa stepped out of the Rolls Royce at the same time, and they both walked straight to Alfred’s mansion.

After walking for a minute, they got to Alfred’s mansion. Alfred unlocked the door, then they both stepped inside the living room.

As Alfred stepped inside the living room, phone started ringing in his pocket.

He brought out his phone, and he swiped the green icon without checking who the caller was, then he placed the phone close to his ear.

“Yes?”

“Boss, I need you to come to the computer lab. There’s something you have to see.” Stacy’s tiny voice boomed through the phone’s speaker.

“Alright.” Alfred replied, and he disconnected the call, then he turned his gaze Theresa who was about to climb the stairs.

“Follow me, Theresa.” He ordered.

Theresa followed him without complain.

★COMPUTER LAB★

Alfred and Theresa stepped inside the lab, and they walked to Stacy’s seat.

“Boss, I did a background check on the man named Brad, and this is what I found.” Stacy said and she pressed a button on her keyboard.

The picture of a man appeared on the large TV screen in front of them. He had a black mask on his face.

Theresa eyes widened in shock when she recognized the mask.

“That mask belongs to Brad? Why is Alfred trying to find Brad?” She said to herself.

“Has he found out about my real identity?”

“Did he perhaps read my messages with Brad without me knowing?”

“Did Shikita already tell him who I really am?”

All these thoughts roamed Theresa’s head as she gazed at Brad’s picture on the screen.

The black mask on his face was the one he always wore whenever they had a mission in LACF.

“He works as a crime fighting agent in the LACF.” Stacy said to Alfred.

“Yeah, Shikita already told me that.” Alfred replied. His gaze was fixed on the picture of the masked man.

Douglas and Viper also walked inside the lab.

Douglas was putting on an armless jacket and a ripped out jeans which made him look regal.

He also had a stick of tobacco in between his lips, smoking it like it’s the sweetest thing on earth.

Viper wore a black long sleeve jacket donning on her black trousers.

Viper gave Theresa an hateful glare as she brushed past her.

Theresa scoffed and she rolled eyes at her.

“Who is he?” Douglas asked, pointing to the masked man displayed on the screen.

“His name’s Brad, Dante’s right hand man.” Alfred replied without taking his gaze off the screen.

“That masked man looks kinda familiar. I think I’ve seen him before.” Viper said, and they all turned their gazes to her.

“Where and when did you see him?” Alfred asked, curiously.

“I don’t know if you all still remember the night at the prime minster’s house. This masked man was one of the crime fighting agents who came to stop our heist that night.” Viper crossed her hands over her chest.

“Are you sure he’s the one you saw?” Alfred pointed at the picture of the masked man on the large TV screen.

“Yeah, I’m sure. I fought with him and that dude almost broke my neck that night.” Viper rubbed her neck with a slight frown on her face.

Alfred turned his gaze to one of the computer operators.

“Go get Shikita for me.” He ordered.

Theresa’s heart started beating faster than normal. She remembered that Shikita knew her real identity.

“Oh my gawd! Shikita may expose my identity in front of them, and if she does that, I’m as good as dead” Theresa thought to herself, and her palms became sweaty.

Beads of sweat started forming on her forehead, and she wiped it off immediately with her palm.

Alfred turned his gaze to her, and noticed her uneasiness.

“Are you okay, Theresa?” He asked with furrowed brows.

“Yeah, I’m fine.” Theresa nodded her head sharply.

Alfred then averted his gaze back to the large TV screen.

‘I pray Shikita doesn’t expose my identity’ Theresa prayed in her mind as she fiddled with her fingers nervously.

Shikita and the computer expert walked inside the lab some minutes later.

Theresa’s heart skipped a beat when Shikita smiled knowingly at her before walking to Alfred.

“Do you recognize him?” Alfred asked.

“Yeah, that’s Brad,” replied Shikita, “he wears that black mask wherever he goes, and he also works in the LACF.”

“Have you ever seen his real face?” Alfred inquired.

“No, I haven’t.” Shikita shrugged.

“But you said you have spies working in the LACF.” Alfred said.

“My spies in the LACF have also not been able to see his face. He’s like a ghost.” Shikita replied.

“So, how do we find him?” Viper asked.

“Finding someone you haven’t seen his face for once, is close to impossible,” Shikita replied, then she took a quick glance at Theresa. “I think I know someone who can help us find him.”

“You do?” Alfred shot up a brow.

“Yeah, I do.” Shikita nodded.

“And who is the person?” Douglas questioned, and Shikita turned her gaze to him.

“You don’t have to know who the person is.” Shikita replied before bringing out her phone, then she sent a message to a number.

She tucked her phone back into her pocket, and she faced Alfred. “I’ll get back to you when I find something useful.”

“Alright.” Alfred nodded, then Shikita walked out of the lab.

Theresa’s phone chimed immediately Shikita walked out of the lab.

She checked her phone, and she saw a message from Shikita.

SHIKITA: MEET ME AT THE GARDEN.

Theresa deleted the message after reading it, and she turned off her phone.

“My Lord.” She called Alfred.

Alfred averted his gaze to her.

“Yes?” He responded.

“I feel tired. Can I go get some sleep?” Theresa faked a yawn.

“Sure.” Alfred replied with a nod.

Theresa smiled, then she turned around, and she left the lab.

“I have to find a way to make that that Japanese witch believe that I’m no longer a crime fighting agent” Theresa said to herself as she walked to the garden.

She got to the garden after walking for teo minutes, and she saw Shikita sitting on a bench, gazing at nothing in particular.

“Why do you want to see me?” Theresa asked, and Shikita averted her gaze to her (Theresa).

“Come have a seat, ‘agent’ Theresa.” Shikita said with a smirk, tapping the space beside her.

Theresa hesitated at first, then she walked to Shikita, and sat down beside Shikita.

“Say whatever you wanna say. I got no time to waste.” Theresa crossed her legs together.

“You know I could have expose your real identity back at the computer lab.” Shikita said after some seconds of silence.

“That would have been a waste of time.” Theresa replied with a scoff.

“Really?” Shikita raised her brows. “Yeah.” Theresa nodded.

Shikita raised a questioning brow at her.

“So, you mean Alfred and the other members know that you’re a crime fighting agent?” She asked.

“I was a crime fighting agent and they all know about it.” Theresa said with a serious tone.

“So, you’re no longer a crime fighting agent?” Shikita questioned.

“I was kicked out of LACF because I fucked up several missions, and that was the reason why Lord Alfred accepted me into the organization.” Theresa lied smoothly.

Shikita shot up a brow, “Is that so?”

“Do you think the Gilbertos are fools?” Theresa asked. “If I was really a crime agent, do you think I’ll still be alive.”

Shikita remained quiet. Theresa’s words were making sense to her.

Theresa knew Shikita was already believing her lies. She just needed to add more spice to her lies.

“Did your spies not tell you that I was kicked out of LACF?” Theresa asked with a mocking smile across her lips.

Shikita said nothing in response. She just stared at nothing.

Thresa grinned inwardly, then she let out a soft sigh.

“After I was kicked out of LACF a month ago, I lost everything, then I became a beggar. That was when I met Lord Alfred, and he helped me by accepting me into the organization.” Theresa

Shikita still remained quiet. Theresa’s fake story made sense to her, and that made her feel stupid.

An awkward silence fell between them, and Theresa hated that silence.

“I am leaving if you don’t have anything else you wanna say.” Theresa broke the silence as she rose to her feet.

“Wait.” Shikita halted her.

“Yes?” Theresa turned to face her.

Shikita raised her gaze.

“I’m sure you know who Brad is since you worked with the LACF, and I’m also sure you’ve seen his face before, right?” She questioned.

Theresa crossed her arms over her chest, and she furrowed her brows at Shikita.

“Before I answer you question, Shikita, answer this question I’m about to ask you.” Theresa said.

“I’m all ears.” Shikita replied.

“Why is Alfred searching for Brad? Did Brad offend him or what?” Theresa asked.

“Brad is the first front man and the right-hand man of Dante.” Shikita replied, ans crossed her legs together

“Who is Dante?” Theresa questioned confusedly, raised a questioning brow at Shikita.

Shikita glanced at Theresa before returning her gaze to stare across the garden.

“Dante is the leader of the mafia organization called the Marcel family. They are the Gilberto family’s rival.” Shikita replied.

“You mean Marcel is the surname of their leader?” Theresa inquired with furrowed brows.

“Yes. The name of the Marcel family’s leader is Dante Marcel.” Shikita answered.

Theresa’s face went pale like the belly of a fish when Shikita dropped the bombshell.

Her body froze instantly, and her head started spinning in circles.

Shikita noticed the sudden change in Theresa’s mood.

“You okay?” She asked.

“Do you have the picture of Dante Marcel?” Theresa asked, ignoring Shikita’s question.

Shikita studied Theresa for a few seconds before speaking.

“I think I do. Why?”

“I just wanna see his face.” Theresa replied.

Shikita brought out her phone, and she scrolled through her gallery. She tapped on a picture and she handed the phone over to Theresa.

Theresa’s eyes widened in shock when she saw the picture of the man Shikita referred to as the leader of the Marcel family.

It was the picture of the man who adopted her. The man she called her own father.

Theresa swallowed hard as she gazed at the picture.

“So, Brad is the right-hand man of Dante Marcel, who is the leader of the Marcel family?” Theresa returned Shikita’s phone back to her with shaky hands.

“Yes, and Alfred wants to kill Dante at all cost.” Shikita replied as she collected her phone from Theresa.

‘No, no, no! Dad can never be the leader of a Mafia organization. And If he is really the leader of the Marcel family like Shikita said, then dad is Alfred’s enemy which also makes me Alfred’s enemy’ Theresa thought to herself, then she fainted instantly.
