Chapter 57
[THE NEXT MORNING; AT ALFRED’S MANSION]
Theresa was still sleeping soundly when Alfred came out of the bathroom.
A white towel was tied around his waist, and water dripped down from his wet hair.
He has a meeting today with thetop members of his, organization so he has to be in the computer lab any moment from now.
He took a peek at Theresa, and his lips curved in a short smile immediately.
He walked to the closet and found himself something to wear, jean pants on an armless black shirt with a human skull drawn in white in front of it, then he got his pistoll before heading to the bed.
He sat beside Theresa and bent over to her lips, kissing her lightly.
That woke Theresa up, and she smiled when she saw him.
“Handsome Freddy.” She said, sitting up
She hugged him tightly, resting her head on his chest.
“Why did you smoke godfather’s weed last night at the party?, You could have just declined.” He said, stroking her hair.
“I wanted to impress him.” She pouted, looking up at him.
She leaned in and kissed him, he held her and deepened it, meshing their tongues on each other as his hand went to the back of her neck, holding her there.
She slipped her hands under his shirt, rubbing his skin as they both went down on the bed, still kissing hard.
“Alfred!” Came Lisa’s voice from outside the room, and that made them break the kiss.
“I’ll be right back.” He said, leaving the room.
“Who the fuck is that?” Theresa frowned.

★LIVING ROOM★
Lisa was about to enter the Alfred’s bedroom when Alfred came out, and he took her to the living room.
“What the fuck are you doing here, Lisa?” He asked, and she squinted.
A frown creased her forehead.
“Do I have to ask for permission before I come to my Alfred’s place?, and I’m so glad you still remember my real name” She replied, showing him a packaged nylon.
“Tada!, I got you a gift” she said, bringing out a gift box from the nylon.
“What’s this?” He asked.
“Check it out” she replied, and he was about to take it when Theresa showed up and snatched it.
“What the fuck!” Lisa said shockingly as she started unwrapping the gift.
Alfred left them and sat on a couch, watching them from there.
“Who the fuck are you, and how dare you do what you just did!” Lisa shouted.
“I’m his woman!, Now tell who the hell are you!” Theresa shouted back, and Alfred smiled, resting back on his chair.
He was watching the scene happily like it was some kind of entertainment.
Lisa was still staring shockingly when Theresa finished unwrapping the gift, it contained a necklace with an heart pendant.
“What the fuck is this?” She said, raising it up.
“None of your business!” Lisa snapped and tried snatching it from her, but Theresa cut the necklace into two before she could.
“Bitch!, What the fuck did you just do!” She shouted.
“Bitch? Did you just call me a bitch?” Theresa asked, throwing the necklace at her before pushing her chest, and Lisa fell on the ground heavily
“How dare you push me!” She barked, and Theresa squatted beside her.
“Don’t try to seduce him my Freddy, it won’t work because he is mine, and mine alone. And the next time I see you around him, I’ll fucking kill you and feed your filthy body to the vultures of the air.” She said with a threatening tone and smiled, then Lisa stood and glared at her before rushing out of the mansion.
“Bitch.” Theresa smirked before facing Alfred.
“I hope you know that she’s godfather Gilberto’s daughter.” He said with a knowing smile on his face.
“And I’m the boss’s woman.” She replied, walking to him
She straddled his laps and kissed placed a kiss on his lips.
“I have to be in the circle meeting in the next thirty minutes.” He said.
“Then let’s make a good use of the time.” She smiled, and Alfred claimed her lips immediately, then he carried her upstairs to his bedroom without breaking the kiss.

★THIRTY MINUTES LATER★
Alfred and Theresa were laying on the bad nakedly with the duvet covering their nakedness.
They just finished having an intense and hot sex.
Theresa rested her head on Alfred’s chest, and she was playing with his navel.
“Freddy.” She called.
“Yes?” Alfred responded, stroking her hair gently.
“Do you still remember the promise you made to me back when we were still kids at the orphanage?” She asked.
“I made a lot of promises to you, so tell me, which of those promises are you referring to?” He replied.
“The promise you made about marrying me.” Theresa said, and he chuckled.
“I am gonna keep that promise after we take down the Marcel family, then I’ll take a three years break from being a Mafia boss, and we’ll fly to Italy for our honeymoon.” Alfred said, and Theresa raised her head to look at his face.
“Really?” The surprise was obvious.
“Yeah, sweetheart.” Alfred nodded.
“Yay!!” She squealed excitedly, and she placed a soft kiss on his lips.
“I love you so much Freddy!” She smiled widely.
“I love you too, Theresa.” Replied Alfred, and he reconnected their lips.
They kissed for more than five minutes before Theresa slowly broke the kiss.
“I was thinking about something, Freddy.” She said.
“What?” Alfred asked.
“I was thinking maybe we should visit Hope orphanage today.” Theresa replied.
“You mean the orphanage we stayed before we got separated?” Alfred smirked, and Theresa rolled eyes at him.
“Yeah. I really want to see granny Pamela. I miss her so much.” She said.
“We can’t go today,” replied Alfred, “I’ve got a very tight schedule.”
“Please” Theresa pouted, giving him a cute look.
Alfred couldn’t say no to her, because she was looking so cute.
He let out a dejected sigh before speaking.”
“Alright then, we’ll go after I’m done with the circle meeting.” He finally agreed.
A smile broke out Theresa’s lips and she pecked his lips.
“Thanks Freddy. You’re the best.” She smiled cutely.
“I have to go, Theresa. The circle meeting will start any minute from now.” He said, and he climbed out of the bed, then he dressed up before walking out of the room.
Some seconds after Alfred left the room, Theresa’s phone began ringing.
She took it from the nightstand and she checked the caller. The call was from an unknown number.
Theresa furrowed her brows before swiping the green icon, then she placed the phone close to her right ear.
“Hello?”
“Good morning, agent Theresa. This is general McGuire on the line.” The caller responded, and Theresa’s eyes widened.
“Good morning general.” She greeted, nervously.
“What’s the status of your mission?” Asked general McGuire.
‘Fuck! What am I gonna tell him? I can’t tell him that reverend Alfred who is also my Freddy, is the crime boss we’ve been searching for.’ She thought to herself.
“Agent Theresa? Are you still there?” The general’s voice snapped her out of her thoughts.
“Yes, general.”
“What’s your mission’s status?” He asked.
Theresa swallowed hard before speaking.
“I’ve got nothing yet, but I promise, I’ll get the criminal organizations and their boss very soon.” She replied.
“We don’t have much time, agent Theresa. The president has been on my neck for the past three weeks. He gives us just five weeks to put the criminal organization behind bars, or else he’d shut down our agency.” The general said.
The worry in his voice was evident as he spoke.
“Don’t worry general, I’ll complete the mission within five weeks.” Theresa assured.
“I’m counting on you, agent Theresa. And whenever you need backup, just send me your location and I’ll do the needful.”
“Alright general.” She replied.
“Good luck, agent Theresa.” The general said, then he disconnected the call.
Theresa deleted the call from her call log, then she dropped her phone beside her.
“I have to find a way to solve this shit without regretting anything.”
★FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER★
Theresa was sitting on a couch in the living room, watching a movie. She had a bowl of popcorn on her laps, stuffing her mouth with it as she watched the movie.
Alfred was still to the circle meeting thirty minutes ago so she was all alone in the big mansion.
Her phone started ringing beside her, then she picked it up, and she checked the caller’s ID.
‘Dad’ displayed boldly on the caller’s ID.
“Why is he calling me?” She muttered before swiping the green icon, then she placed the phone on her right ear.
“Hey dad.” She greeted.
“How’s my darling doing?” Dante asked.
“I’m doing great, dad.” Theresa replied, dipping her other hand into the popcorn bowl, and she threw it in her mouth.
“Aren’t you gonna question me?” Dante asked.
? Theresa already knew what he meant, but she decided to feign stupid.
“Question you? Why would I question you?” Theresa asked.
“Don’t try to act stupid, Theresa. I’m sure you know what I mean.”
“No, I don’t. Mind elaborating it for me, dad?” She replied, stuffing her mouth with popcorn.
“You know I’m a Mafia boss, don’t you?” Dante asked.
“Wow!” She feigned a surprised voice. “And for how long have you been a Mafia boss, dad?” She asked, chewing the popcorn slowly.
“Long before I adopted you.” Dante answered.
“Wow! That’s more then twelve years. You kept such a big secret from me for more than twelve years, right?” She smirked.
“I have my reasons for keeping my mafia life a secret from you. And I also know you have other questions you wanna ask me. But right now, I want you to go and meet Marco.” Dante said.
“Which Marco are you talking about, and where do you want me to meet him?” She asked, confusedly.
“The Marco Gilberto who’s currently in the Gilbertos empire.” Dante replied.
Theresa’s eyes widened.
“You know him?” She asked, a note of surprise in her voice.
“Yeah, I do. He is working with me.” Dante replied.
‘So, that son of a bitch is also an enemy of the Gilbertos’ Theresa thought to herself before speaking.
“Why do you want me to meet him?” She questioned.
“Meet him first, and you’ll know the reason why I want you to meet him.” Dante replied, then he disconnected the call.
Theresa’s phone beeped some seconds after the call. She checked it and she saw a message from Dante.
DANTE: IF YOU TRULY LOVE ME AS YOUR FATHER, COOPERATE WITH MARCO AND DON’T EXPOSE HIM. DON’T SAY A WORD ABOUT HIM WORKING WITH ME.
Theresa let out a scoff after reading the message. She was about to drop the phone when it beeped twice.
She checked it and she saw two new messages from Dante.
DANTE: I’LL TELL YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ME VERY SOON.
DANTE: I LOVE YOU THERESA.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Theresa dropped her phone beside her and she rested her head on the headrest.
“Why the fuck does he want me to meet Marco?” She muttered.
‘Should I go and meet him or not?’ She thought to herself.
Suddenly, an image flashed in her head.
“Argghh!!” She moaned painfully, and held her head as she felt a throbbing pain in her head.
The image was a little girl’s image. The girl looked a lot like her (Theresa) but she was much more younger.
“Arghh!!” Theresa held her head with both her hands, and she fell on her knees as four other images flashed in her head.
The four images were of a man, a woman and two little girls. One of the girls was older than the other.
The pain Theresa was feeling in her head subsided, then she sat down on the couch, her breaths heavy.
She had a confused look on her face as she rubbed her forehead gently.
A soft sigh escaped her lips as she rested her head on the headrest, then she gazed at the chandelier which was hung above her.
“Why am I suddenly having image flashes of people I haven’t seen before?, what’s happening to me?” She sighed out loudly, dipping her hands into her hair.
