Prophecy Of Doom

Damon: “You remember I told you about the gala which is happening tomorrow?”

Amara: “Yes, Argyros, they organize it every year.”

Damon: “I told you to start going out but I don’t want you to go to this gala with me.”

Amara: “It’s not like I’m complaining, don’t get me wrong, I don’t wanna go out of this house either but tell me a good reason why suddenly you don’t want me to go with you.”

Damon: “A lot of dangerous people attend this gala and I don’t want you to get in any kind of trouble because of my business.”

Amara: “But that’s the reason I should go with you. You said there’ll be dangerous people, what if you get in any trouble?”

Damon: “Please, little one. I have a bad feeling about this gala. I don’t want you to go.”

Amara: “Okay Drako, I won’t go.”

In Amara’s head: Not until I have to.

Amara: “I’m leaving now. (meanwhile at the airport)”

In Enzo’s head: I hate long flights.

Ryan: “The car’s here, let’s go. (Ryan’s New York penthouse living room). Rest for now. The gala is tomorrow, check all the security arrangements there tonight. Get a few of our men there.”

Enzo and Luca: “Will do, boss. (later that night on the roof)”

In Ryan’s head: So many things are happening at once. I have this deal to make and Damon has to agree whether he likes it or not. This will affect everyone in our world in one way or another and I always get what I want. (Gala night in the hotel ballroom). So many familiar faces. In this world of mine, people either respect you or they fear you. I don’t know how many of them actually respect me but all of them fear me. They pray to never get on my bad side because they know the consequences. (one hour later)

Lorenzo: “I heard Diavolo Accardi blessed us with his presence.”

Ryan: “You heard right, Argyros. Nice arrangements.”

Lorenzo: “Thank you, but I was wondering that Diavolo never attends this kind of party. How come today? Is there a specific reason?”

Ryan: “I’m here for business. It’s time that I have a conversation with Damon Ariti.”

Lorenzo: “I see.”

In Lorenzo’s head: God save you Damon…what did you do to piss Diavolo off?

Lorenzo: “I hope things don’t get too serious here.”

Ryan: “I hope so too.”

Enzo: “Damon's here.”

Ryan: “Let’s go then. Damon Drakos Ariti.”

Damon: “Hello, Mr. Accardi.”

Ryan: “So you know who I am?”

Damon: “Of course I do, who doesn’t?”

Ryan: “If you know me, then you must know that I don’t take no for an answer. Why are you refusing my offer?”

Damon: “Mr. Accardi, respectfully I don’t wanna do business with you and the weapons you’re asking for are exclusively for the government.”

In Ryan’s head: This man is getting on my last nerves right now.

Ryan: “I’m gonna say this for the last time. You’re gonna supply us with the weapons we want whether you like it or not.”

Damon: “Or what?”

In Ryan’s head: Fuck it I’m done. (Ryan points his gun at Damon)

Ryan: “Or you die.”

Amara: “DON’T YOU DARE!!”

Ryan: “I will. Seems like your girl came to save you.”

Amara: “No you won’t.”

In Ryan’s head: Fuck. A girl in a dark red gown entered. The atmosphere filled with an exotic heavenly fragrance. Her gown was hugging her beautifully breathtaking body and all the right places. When my eyes reached her face the first thing I saw was her eyes, angelic siren eyes, they were a different kind of blue I’ve never seen before and the way she’s gazing at me, it’s seductively powerful. I should be angry at her for challenging me. Hell…I’m angry at all the men here for staring at her. She made all their hearts race. Who is she? I've never came across a woman who could blow my mind but she managed to do that so effortlessly instantly. My mind was never this blurry ever…not knowing what to do next. Focus.

Man: “Who turned off the lights?”

Woman: “Aaaaaaaa.”

Man2: “What the fuck is happening here?”

Woman2: “Someone please help.”

Man3: “Turn on the lights. (Damon and Amara’s gone)”

Luca: “Are you okay, boss?”

In Ryan’s head: She’s gone. They disappeared in thin air. (in the living room)

Damon: “Why did you go there when I told you not to?”

Amara: “Are you shouting at me for saving you?”

Damon: “No…I…I just…”

Amara: “No…save it.”

In Damon’s head: I don’t care about me. I’m trying to keep you safe.

In Amara’s head: I did nothing wrong. I went there to save him. I knew something was gonna happen at the gala and I was right. (on the balcony). I came here to process whatever happened today. Damon apologized for yelling. I wasn’t angry at him. I know he cares about me a lot. Not because I read his mind, I know it because I know him, that’s what he does, always trying to protect me. I don’t read his mind, I respect his privacy. I was always good at reading people by their expressions, body language, it was always easy for me so it comes in handy. It was right after the accident that I started hearing everyone’s thoughts. It was really overwhelming at first but with concentration and practice I learned to turn it off whenever I want but I can’t wrap my head around the fact whatever happened in that gala. My brother was at gunpoint and the man that was holding the gun. Who was he? The more shocking thing was I tried reading his mind but I couldn’t. How is that possible? That tattoo on his hand. I’ve seen it before. The way his eyes were penetrating me it should’ve made me feel uncomfortable or angry even but I wasn't. I noticed something strange. His physique. He radiates power like no one else. He was built like a tank.

Amara: “Karl…do some digging on him.”

In Amara’s head: I should try to sleep now. (the next day in the gym). I couldn’t sleep, I never do but this time it was different because of a whole different reason and I read all the information Karl collected. Ryan Diavolo Accardi. Leader, the most influential person in many parts of the world. Everyone fears him, that’s why last night no one tried to save my brother. What does he want from my brother? I hope we never come face to face again. I won’t forget what he did to Damon. Enough for today. (that night in the kitchen)

Amara: “Hey Maria, what’s for dinner? And where’s Damon? I can’t find him.”

Maria: “Hi honey. I’m making chicken gyro and Damon hasn’t come home yet.”

In Amara’s head: Not home yet, he should’ve come home three hours ago.

Amara: “Thank you Maria. Karl, call Damon.”

Karl: “Call not connecting. His phone is off.”

Amara: “Then call uncle Nik.”

Karl: “Connecting to uncle Nik.”

Nikolaos: “Hello dear, is everything okay? You never call this late, it’s 11:00 p.m.”

Amara: “Uncle Nik, I think everything’s fine. I called to ask if you know what happened to Damon? He’s not home and he didn’t let me know that he was gonna be home late.”

Nikolaos: “Damon left the office early today. He said he was going home.”

Amara: “Okay.”

Amara: “Karl…locate him.”

Karl: “On it. Found him. Somewhere between 41.9028° north, 12,4964 degree east.”

Amara: “Are you telling me my brother is in Rome?”

Karl: “Yes, he’s in Rome.”

In Amara’s head: I hope it’s not what I think it is.

Amara: “Tell Alexandra to get the jet ready, we’re flying to Rome. (Italy Ryan’s lockup)”

Damon: “I should've known it was your doing.”

Ryan: “You’re here because I didn’t like the way you left last night without saying goodbye and without accepting my offer.”

Damon: “You made a mistake by kidnapping maybe. She won’t like it.”

Ryan: “Who? Your girl?”

Damon: “She’s my sister you moron.”

In Ryan’s head: Sister…why am I getting happy hearing that?

In Damon’s head: You know what's the worst mistake one can make? I’ll tell you. Making Amara angry and because of this man she has to leave the house and she hates when she’s forced to leave the house.

Damon: “You better hope when she comes here she’s in a good mood.”

Ryan: “How will she come here when she doesn’t know who I am, let alone where I live? Only a few people are allowed on my territory. You should know.”

Damon: “She doesn’t know you? Boy…you don’t know her. I know how powerful and dangerous you are but you know the first thing she must’ve done after reaching home last night? If I had to guess she would’ve done some digging...on you. She might know everything about you by now and last night she saw you pointing a gun at me. Her first guess will be you when she knows I’m nowhere to be found. Just wait and you’ll see what I’m talking about.”

Ryan: “We’ll see won’t we.”

Damon: “And a piece of advice for you and your men. Don’t disrespect her in any way. You all are all powerful and all but trust me, you haven’t seen someone like her. She’ll do what you do when someone disrespects you but in a far better way.”

In Ryan’s head: You’re right about that one. (in the hallway)

Luca: “What did he say? Did he accept the offer?”

Ryan: “We didn’t talk about that.”

Luca: “Then…?”

Ryan: “He’s gonna sign the deal. It doesn’t matter if he signs it today or tomorrow.”

In Luca’s head: I know exactly what you or who you talked about. (next morning outside Ryan’s home attacking his men - in the living room Ryan’s on the phone)

Ryan: “When are you coming back? Okay, bye.”

Bruno: “Boss, something's wrong, not a single camera is working. Nothing’s working, all the systems got hacked.”

Ryan: “What the fuck are you talking about?”

Luca: “Boss, no one is responding.”

Ryan: “Who the fuck dares to come in my territory and take my men? Find them and don’t kill them, I want to kill them myself.”

Luca: “Um…boss…?”

Ryan: “What?”

Luca: “Turn around.”
