Caterina bit her lips, as she stood infornt of her uncle's hut thinking whether to go inside or not. After school she didn't go home she stayed at her friend house till sunset before going for her usually thing (stealing), now she is standing infornt of her hut thinking of what reasonable lie to tell, she was still lost in thought when her uncle opened the door in a haste in search of his niece( Caterina)

"Catty" he called out in shock before enveloping her in a warm embrace, she hugged him back enduring the pain of her injury.

" Catty, where have you been you got me worried sick" he said disengaging the hug.

"So..rry" catty said with so much difficulties because of the bruised lips." Dear what happened to your face, hey! Your knee is also bruised" he exclaimed as the word shock could not be used for the expression he had." Catty looked down unable to say a word. " What is that you are holding " Thompson said as his gaze shifted to her hands.

" When will you stop stealing, did they beat you" he asked worriedly." Can I..go.. in..side please " she struggled to say and he paved way for her before closing the door..

" Start talking" Thompson said authoritatively." I got bullied at school today, I didn't want you to see me like this that's why I stayed at Rosanna's place" Caterina narrated before breaking into tears." Sorry dear, I pray our luck changes soon okay, now stop crying,let's eat."

Sicily, Italy

Next day

Gold cloves high

Gold blings: special room

A girl could be seen pacing around as she fumed with rage, her meticulously maked up face squeeze, her painted red lips parted ways revealing her perfect white set of teeth gnashing against each other, one could tell by the look of things that she was very angry. She paced around the room taking different lunatic steps. Her friends stared at her like a run way physcopath who escaped from an asylum.

"Brielle are you okay" A girl could not help but asked, one glare from Brielle made her swallow her saliva and kept quiet. Brielle continued pacing around looking extremely angry, having a look that could kill. " That bitch" she cursed, gnashing her teeth in the process." Brielle are you angry because of Caterina" Nicoletta asked, the look that Brielle gave her confirm her guess. " Seriously". " Mind yourself Nicole and fucking leave me alone" she said in a harsh tone.

" Are you jealous cause she is very pretty, much more than you can ever be" Aurelio said annoying her the more. " No way, that poor thing can't be compared with me, I can buy her whole existence" Brielle said trying to subside her anger. " You know it's true even without makeup she is very pretty, unlike you that wears makeup to hide that ugly ass face of yours" Aurelio said with a smirked and everyone brusted into laughter except Ryan who didn't seem to care, Brielle glared at him and everyone else making them swallow their saliva as silence filled the whole room.

" Aurelio are you really my friend or hers" Brielle said and Aurelio rolled his eyes. " Just saying the obvious" he stated and Brielle stormed off and at that minute everyone started laughing much more loudly.

" Brielle couldn't handle the truth" Nicoletta said and high fived Aurelio." Gosh, the look on her face was priceless" Loredana said while grinning. " But that won't stop us from making that low life, existence miserable" Ryan finally spoke up. " Dude you speak?" Aurelio questioned in a mocking tune and Ryan didn't reply him. " Fuck bro you are such a kill joy" Aurelio said referring to Ryan but he just continued pressing his phone as if he didn't hear him. " Let's head to class, first let's bully Cat" Loredana said and they all grinned before walking out..

...…

Classroom.

Caterina's seat

Caterina sat down careful on seat, she made sure she avoided the golden blings cause she didn't want trouble,she bent her head resting it on her locker, everyone's gaze suddenly went to the door, their eyes behold the blings and they screamed for joy, for the first time the blings entered the junior's classroom. Without looking up Caterina could tell that the blings just entered their classroom.

" Good morning blings" Everyone greeted including Caterina as she raised her head in the process. The blings nodded their heads in response to the greeting. The walked majestically to Caterina seat, Caterina bit her lips as she stared at them with fear in her eyes. " Good morning blings" she greeted again and to her utmost surprise they laughed.

" Someone is scared" Loredana said and traced her long manicure nails on Cathy's cheek sending shivers down her spine.

" I'm glad you learnt your lesson yesterday, good girl" Nicoletta said. Everyone attention were now on them watching intensely to see what will happen.

" Stand" Ryan baritone voice was heard and she immediately stood up looking down as she played with the hem of her skirt.

" How dare you look down while I speak" Ryan yelled at her and she started crying, she slowly raised her teary eyes staring keenly at him,her tears rolling down her cheeks. Ryan was surprised, he never expected her to react this way but it pleased him." Cry baby, stop crying" Loredana said and wept her tears with her hands. " Let's go guys, and you I want to see you in the cabin today during break" with that said they left.

Caterina sat down back on her seat crying her eyes out. The students stared at her pitifully while some didn't care. Rosanna walked into the class at that moment she was shocked to see Caterina crying but instantly knew that it was the work of the blings.

She ran to Caterina's seat and hug her, Caterina hugged her tightly as she cried in her arms. " Shh stop crying" Rosanna said as she rocked her back…

Soon the teacher walked in and everybody settled down..

Somewhere in Italy

Moonshine bar

10:34am

(The bar is well known because several dangerous activities are carried out in the bar and a wise person will advice his or her self not to step foot inside, if you ever even by mistake enter it's either you join or you get killed. No body dare report to the police the activities that are been carried out inside the bar or else you want to kiss mother earth goodbye , it looks like an ordinary bar but inside the bar there is an underground world )

The bar was filled with people, some dancing crazy while some are engaged in an ungodly act.

Thompson sat at a corner in bar, he was drinking and discussing with his drunken friends.

"Wave, your niece is really pretty you know" Patrick said drunkenly with a smug on his face, Thompson glared at him

" What does that suppose to mean" Thompson said as he dropped the bottle of alcohol he was holding while the rest of his friends laughed.

" Wave, the only trouble that can destroy," Patrick praised him before continuing." My friend, why are you angry or can't I praise a beautiful girl again" he said

" I don't like that besides she is too young and pretty for a man like you" Thompson said harshly and everyone laughed but he didn't find it funny.

" Oh Tom, we all are the same just that all of us has different bad behavior. If I could lay my hands on her she will scream my name "Patrick said and Thompson stood up angrily before landing a dirty slap on his face, the rest of his friends gasped.

Patrick also stood up ready for a fight but the rest of his drunken friends held him back.

" If I lay my hands or ever see her walking freely on the road you won't like the state you will find her in" With that said he stormed out of the bar. Thompson sat down looking dejected. " You got to be careful now Wave" Johnson, one of his friends said and Thompson nodded. " Thanks man" Thompson said and shook hands with him

"Got to go now, my wife will skin me alive if she finds out I'm out drinking" Johnson said and left.

" Wave, tell your niece to be very careful and avoid Patrick" Antonio said and Thompson nodded sadly, " don't worry about him, see you later" Antonio said and left.

Thompson sat down alone unknown to him there was someone sitting at the VIP section watching him keenly, the look he has on his handsome face was deadly one that had a mischievous and devilish plan, he smirked before sipping his wine holding a cigarette in his other hands, he tap the arm rest of the chair making a dangerous note, the atmosphere alone spoke danger, people in the VIP section sat a distant away from him cause coming closer to him means signing you death papers.

"Boss, he is alone now" one of his mobster said to him and he waved his hand, telling him to wait a little, the mobster bowed and took his position behind him.

The man smirk, the light shoned revelling his all black torques suit. Three button of his shirt was opened reviling his broad tattooed sexy manly chest.

" You may go now" He said with an authoritative baritone voice, the mobster bowed and signal the others to follow him.

Thompson sat down on the sofa lost in thought but was suddenly brought back to reality with a thunderous slap from one of the mobster. Thompson look up and fear gripped him, no one needs to tell him that these are Don's men.

" Old fool, when are you going to pay" Fire, Don's trusted mobster asked in a harsh tone and Thompson flinched in fear unable to utter a word.

" You suddenly became deaf and dump" Fire asked, Thompson was already sweating so profusely, People's attention suddenly turned to them.

" I… need… more ..ti..me" Thompson said fearfully and the Mobsters laughed.

" Time ugh, today is the deadline and you are asking for time" Fire said and landed him a painstaking slap that his five fingers appeared on his face and Thompson bursted out in slow cries.

" Hit me till he is half dead" Don said his voice commanding authority as he stepped out from the VIP section wearing a hat to cover his face and the females couldn't help but drool despite putting on a hat he still looked smoking hot.

The Mobsters started hitting him without mercy, he face was already covered in blood with the punches he received some bones are already broken, his eyes was red, he was bleeding from both his nose and mouth, the Mobsters continued hitting him and he was already looking like a dead man when the Don suddenly shouted.

" Spare him" and they quickly stopped, he was already in his pool of blood, his breathing so slow,he closed his eyes giving room for darkness..
