The Maranzanos – Episode 31&32

“A p+n¡$” he replied bluntly, and she choked on the finger as she started coughing.

“What the…. what…that was…that?” She stuttered amidst her coughs, and Franklin sighed.

“You heard what you heard, Dwarf” he replied bluntly again, and she stopped coughing.

She stood on a leg, and she pouted some of the yogurt on his face knowingly.

“Geez!” He gasped, stepping back.

“That’s for talking dirty, I’m still young so stop saying talking to me like an adult” she said and sat back on her wheelchair. She returned to her yogurt.

Franklin started looking around the room, searching for what to clean his face with, and when he saw a blouse on the bed, he went for it and wiped it off with it.

“That’s new! I haven’t even put it on for once!” She gasped.

“Do I care? You started it” he rolled eyes, and she stood on one leg again, dropping her yogurt.

She tried jumping to him, but she fell and landed on her knees in front of him.

She’d have fallen flat on her face, but she held his pants for support and looked up at him as a slight whimper escaped her lips.

“Planning to give me a bl+wj0b?” He asked rawly, and her eyes widened as she let go of the pants to sit on the ground.

“You’re really immune to complaints, aren’t you?” She said.

“You said you’re not an adult, but you know the meaning of bl+wj0b?  How old are you?” He asked.

“23, and i read bl+wj0b from a book sometimes last year” she said, and he nodded.

“So you went online to search for blowjob specifically” 

“Franklin!!’ she shouted, and he started walking out 

“I didn’t tell you to leave” she quickly said, but no reply came from him.

“Hey! Tallest!” She called, but he kept going.

“You’re a jerk” she said, and he opened the door, leaving the room.

“Such a sick psycho, he couldn’t even help me back to my wheelchair. I’m the one who f+ked up thinking he’s human, a vampire is better”  she muttered, rolling eyes at no one in particular as she kept sitting.

Franklin sighed when he came out of her room, and he met Armani waiting again.

“Are you stalking me?” He raised his brows.

“Yes, buddy” Armani smiled, pulling him along.

“I hate clingy people, both gender” Franklin said.

“I love repulsive people like you, you can’t escape it” Armani winked.

“Stupid” Franklin muttered.

“Was expecting that to be your next word” Armani said, and Franklin smiled.

“Wait…you smiled!” Armani gasped.

“Whatever” Franklin said, entering the elevator which led down.

Armani grinned before entering with him.

“Why are you always with Mia though?” Armani asked, and Franklin’s mind went to when he saw her bleeding earlier.

“Is it possible for a human to produce ice scales on her body without dying? And is it possible for a human to become as cold as ice when it rains? Or bleed cold blood” he asked, and Armani frowned.

“Are you talking about a human or a fish?” He said, and Franklin scoffed.

“Forget it”

The elevator opened at the ground floor, and they made their ways to the gym where they met Aurora. She’s all sweaty from excessive lifting of weights, and her muscles were already bulging slightly.

They didn’t say a word again before changing into their gym outfits too, and while Armani joined Aurora to lift weights, Franklin used the stationary bike.

Except the sound of their breathing and the moving machine, no other sound till Ghost came in.

He was already wearing his outfit, so he got on another Sbike and started his.

For complete twenty minutes, none spoke to each other till Aurora dropped the weights she’s lifting, and she got herself a bottle of water to drink.

“Isn’t this silence too loud? We can just talk to each other, we’re a team. Boss calls us R4 and it’s hightime we act it” Armani said, dropping his metals too.

“What is there to talk about?” Aurora said.

“Franklin is the only one going on a mission tommorow, shouldn’t we help him out?” Armani said.

“I don’t need help, I know what to do” Franklin said.

“Heard that?” Aurora rolled eyes.

“But still, ion like the fact that we can’t stay in one place and smoke or drink together. C’mon everyone”  Armani replied.

“You seem serious this time” Aurora muttered.

“He’s right, we should become o e if we really wanna become one and impress boss more. I need another bonus” Ghost talked.

“I said it, Sofia died, and your brain rose from the dead. Beautiful trade by Bater” Aurora grinned.

“stai zitto (shut up)” he rolled eyes.

“I’ll be the last member of this crew” Armani pointed his palm forward.

“I’ll take the third” Ghost placed his hand on it too.

Aurora scoffed before placing her hand too.

“The second” she said, and they all turned to Franklin who’s still on the bike.

“Frank” Armani called, and he frowned immediately.

“Don’t call me that”

“Sorry, Franklin” Armani smiled, and he finally stood.

He walked to them and placed his hand on top.

“The first” he said grimly, and Armani smiled.

“Let’s stick together from now on. ” you are reading from www.mhiztaemy.com.ng” Share every information and never exclude anyone, please” he said.

NEXT DAY, ROMEO’S PLACE*

His head was a complete mess when he woke up, and his whole surroundings smells like cognac.

Romeo opened his eyes immediately he felt a presence beside himself, and he sat up when he saw it’s Roselle.

He remembered last night, and he squinted when he saw they’re both naked.

“Ah f+k! Romeo give it to me! Yes!”

Her m0ans from last night resounded in his ears, and he got down from the bed, throwing on his p+nts.

He got himself a cigar stick and was already smoking when her eyes opened. The smell must have woken her.

She squinted as she sat up, and she smiled when she saw him.

“Bad boy huh? You’re dangerous” she laughed.

“How did you know everything you told me? You ready to tell me now?’ he asked, and she got down from the bed.

She walked to him n+k£dly and held his shoulders. He blew smokes on her face, and she grinned.

“Royal, the brother you sent abroad is in Italy as we speak” she said, and his eyes widened.

“Stop kidding!”

“Do I look like I am? Told you I’m here to help and it’s for real. Royal is in Italy” she muttered.

*

ELETTRA’S VILLA*

Royal left since dawn like he said last night, though after making sure she took hot tea and her drugs, he even cooked for her.

She walked to the kitchen, rubbing her belly. Though it’s not protruding yet, maybe it’s cryptic.

He opened the pot of food he cooked, and she held back her tears when she remembered years ago when her late dad was still alive.

“You’d be getting married to Rocco next week, be prepared to have him as your husband” were his words.

“What! But you know about my relationship with Royal! I love Royal! We love each other! I don’t wanna have anything to do with Rocco!” She had shouted.

“Royal is too weak! He’s the weakest of the triplets so tell me why you’d have anything to do with such a coward! Take it or leave it, you’re getting married to Rocco and that’s final!” Her dad had shouted.

Remembering everything made her lose her appetite, and she walked out of the kitchen.

She went back to her bedroom and  entered the bathroom, took her bath and dressed up.

She left for the castle.

*

CHURCH*

Sergio came to see his wife’s body very earlier than usual, and he didn’t even wait to talk to the priest before walking to the alter.

Immediately he saw the body is still intact in the coffin, he inhaled and touched Margaretta’s face.

“Thought you were gone” he muttered.

“Any problem? You see unsettled” the priest asked behind him, and he turned back to him.

“I had a dream that Anthony came here to steal the body, that betrayer” He said resentfully.

“Isn’t it time to forgive him? It’s been 23 years, Sergio” the priest said, and Sergio walked to him.

He grabbed his neck roughly the threw him to the pulpit.

“Arhhhh!” The priest groaned as his body rolled down.

“Forgive? Did you just say forgive? Forgive!!!!” He yelled, and the priest sat up slowly.

“He put a bullet through Margaretta’s chest! He killed Margaretta!! He killed my woman! He deserves nothing like forgiveness, and if he creates thousands of lineages out there, I’mma destroy everything! His daughter is only a living dead in the castle! I’ll soon be done using her for what I’m planning, and then I’d return her dead body to him so he’d know how it feels! He must feel the pains! He should feel the thorns piercing through my heart anytime I see Margaretta’s body!  He must” Sergio thundered.

*

MARANZANOS CASTLE*

Romeo’s car drove in roughly, and he came out quickly, ignoring the salutations from the guards till he entered the palace.

Surprisingly, he met Elettra waiting, and he stopped.

“Here to see your father too?” She said, and he started walking to her.

“You’ve never stepped into this castle before, why are you here?” He asked.

“Do I have to tell you that? I’m here to see Sergio, and he’s the one I’m gonna talk to” she said, and he smiled before sitting too.

“You haven’t changed, always gutsy” 

“Thankfully” she rolled eyes, and he chuckled.

“It’s baffling that you’re still alive though. Apparently, Rocco sent some rogues last night, saw him paying them” he said.

“I sent them back already, dead” Elettra replied and his eyes widened.

“I know you’re quite a good fighter, but it’s impossible to kill three rogues by yourself, those things aren’t humans”

Elettra hasn’t replied when Sergio came in, accompanied by three guards who stopped by the door.

“Looks like it’s gonna be a really busy day” he said huskily as he took his seat.

“I know what you’re planning with Rocco, and you should stop now, else it won’t end well” Elettra said boldly.

“This is the first time we’d be seeing each other since your wedding with Rocco, shouldn’t you accord some respect?” Sergio looked up.

“Gone are the days when I was scared of you, but not anymore. One of your rules says one must respect their wives, and Rocco is not doing that. The land he’s trying to take belongs to the child in my belly and the next time he tries shit, then I’mma send his body over too” she warned and started leaving.

“Did you just threaten me?” Sergio smiled, and she looked back.

“It’s a warning” she said and left.

“Elettra” Sergio muttered.

“There’s no way she handled three rogues on her own. I know she’s trained but her training is not up to that level” Romeo said and stood.

“Show me the body of the rogues, father” he said.

Sergio summoned some guards to lead him to where the bodies were dumped.

They were already smelling as they decayed, so he had to use mask as he checked out their heads that was shot.

His eyes widened when he noticed the spots of their heads that got shot, and he rushed back to the palace.

“My suspicions were right. They all got shot on their occipital ridges, and only one person kills that way” he said, and Sergio stood slowly.

“Royal?” 

“I got a tip that he’s back in Italy, and this just confirmed it. He’s with Elettra” Romeo smirked.

*

MINUTES LATER, MIA’S ROOM*

Romeo stood by the door and inhaled first before going in, and he met Mia reading her PS books on her reading table.

She knows it’s him, so she didn’t look back, and he smiled as he walked to her.

“Don’t even try to touch me, I might bite you” she said without looking up, and he sighed.

“I only just heard the story from headmaid Patricia. I’m so sorry Mia” he said.

“I called you!” She shouted, looking up with teary eyes.

“Mia…

“I called you several times but you never picked my calls! Do you really love me like your sister? Or is it fake love? You always leave me here to suffer then come back when I’m wounded! I hate you!” She shouted, and Romeo hugged her from behind.

“I’m so sorry Mia. Please forgive me, I’ll call Luciano to come remove the bullet right now” he said, and she pushed him away.

“Just leave me alone!”

*

A BUSY ROAD*

Franklin is currently inside a Camry, driving on the road. His gun has already been set on the window, waiting for his target.

The target is supposed to be a short haired middle-aged woman wearing red gown with dangling earrings, and she’s definitely on this road according to the info he received.

He was madly at alert, and his watch beeped suddenly.

‘Target closer! Target closer!’

He positioned the gun better on the window, pressing the automatic button of the car so it began driving itself.

He concentrated more on the roadside, closing an eye, then he pulled the trigger immediately he drove past the target.

The bullet flew to the women’s head, and his car kept going like the bullet didn’t come from it.

He dropped his gun and returned to driving the car himself, till he got to the hospital.

He went in, and Greta came out of the parking lot with an evil smile.

“I’m getting there” she muttered.

*

“Franklin!” Serafina screamed when he entered, and he smiled as he walked to her, hugging her tightly.

“Look. They said I was operated on, and it was successful, my brain tumor is…is…gone” she said dumbly, and he broke the hug to stroke her hair.

“Of course, we’re left with your liver transplant now, and once we get a donor, you’d be fine” he said.

“I love you so much Franklin” she said, and he caressed her face gently.

“I love you Sera” 

“The nurses fed me with different dishes already, they’re taking extra care of me these days, and why are there so many guards outside?” She asked, and he sighed.

“Don’t ask questions Sera, just relax” he said, and she nodded.

His phone suddenly beeped, and he checked to see Mia’s text.

• Doctor Luciano will be coming to remove the bullet later, but I’m scared. What if he tries to revenge for what I did.

*

CASTLE, MIA’S ROOM*

Romeo left since she told him to leave earlier, though after calling the doctor.

She’s not ready to listen to his excuses yet. Not today at least, and she won’t forgive him easily this time, maybe he’d learn to take her serious.

She was fidgeting on her wheelchair as she waited for Luciano, and though she texted Franklin already, she’s still hoping he’d arrive fast.

She was still on it when Luciano came in, and she pulled her brows together.

He’s still limping, and his currently wearing false toes since everything is gone.

He was looking at Mia angrily, and Mia returned the look as he dropped his box in front of her and squatted beside it.

He opened it, and instead of starting the treatment, he stood and grabbed her neck, choking her.

“How dare you implicate me b+ch!” He spat at her face, and she began struggling to breath.

“How dare you little thing!” He growled.

“You should….you should be…be glad that…it…was…your toes and…and not your p€nis” she struggled to talk despite the choking, and he released her immediately.

He raised his hand on her face, but someone caught it behind, and he turned back to see Franklin glaring hard.

“Tallest!” Mia breathed out.

“You love crossing your lane Franklin, let go of my hand!” Luciano barked.

“Sorry, no” Franklin said and brought the hand down, placing it in front of Mia’s lips.

“Bite,…. deeply” he said, and she immediately attached her teeth to the hand.

“Ouuuu!!!! No!!!!!!!” Luciano shrieked.

TBC.
