Chapter 22: Drowning

Italy
Sardinia

Later that day,
Ariana went to visit Rafael's office.

"So what do you think, do you ever wish to work here?" asks Ryan

"It's a good place for you, I am doing good in mafia world, I am happy killing people" says Ariana

"And I am happy fighting people"

"Honestly we don't belong here, mafia is for me and boxing is for you.
Anyways I am off to meet a friend"

"A friend here? Who?"

"You don't know her and you don't need to know her, Zacarias will be with me, so don't worry I am safe, bye" she leaves from there.

"Before we meet my friend, stop by a cafe Zacarias, I need coffee"

"Of course mam"
She had her coffee and,

"Tell someone to pick the car, I feel like walking a little"

"Okay mam"

This man really doesn't understand what I am doing? Here I am trying my best to torture him, irritate him but nothing is affecting him, why?

"Boss I saw Ariana!" says Ceaser on the call.

"What do you mean?" asks Di Giovanni

"She is in Sardinia, in a cafe..right in front of my eyes. So what do you want me to do?"

"Nothing Ceaser, you won't do anything..wait let me think again...go keep an eye on her, from a distance"

"As you say boss" and he hung up..while Ariana came out of the cafe and walked with Zacarias, Ceaser followed them from a distance but lost the track, he lost her.

"Finding me?" asks Ariana and pushed him at a side by the car. Zacarias holds his neck.

"I know you..I actually remember you very well. You're Ceaser and you work for Digio, don't you?
Now tell me is he the one who told you to follow me, to keep an eye on me?" she asked with a smile.

"Let—go..my ne-ck, i am choking" he said.

"Zacarias you can let go his go now" and he let go his neck.

"You know what, why don't call him and I will talk to him" she said and Ceaser's phone rings.

"It's boss, here you go" she takes the phone and walks to a corner.

"Really, now you're stalking me? Why don't you just come and check upon me if you're so worried for me!?" But Di Giovanni (Digio) stayed silent.

"Oh so now you won't even talk to me Digio? What's wrong with you huh? You ghosted me and then you suddenly send your men to keep an eye on me..I don't know what is wrong with you but I am worried for you, come back and talk it out to me"

"Ariana.." Di Giovanni finally spoke up.

"Aha now you're speaking"

"Can you hand over the phone to Ceaser?"

"I see..so that is all you wanted to say after all, yes I will handover the phone to Ceaser" she gives the phone to Ceaser.

"Yes boss"

"Do not follow me ever again Ceaser" says Ariana and they leave.

"You heard the lady"

"I did..my work is here is done, I am coming back boss"
