Third Person's POV:
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn94yIbv6qT
The thick metallic gate of the Mancini mansion swung open, allowing the shining black Rolls-Royce inside.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxxSeKgeom
Charlie stepped out of the car and opened the back door, revealing an exhausted Carlos drenched in blood. He got out and left for the right corner of the house without saying a word.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidsdH6rPBK
Without further delay, Charlie and a few of his men left the palace.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOExIXUVvb
Carlos took one of the secret passages leading to his room from the garage area and reached his room.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HiFYUcvej
It's impossible for the mafia man to be seen by his mom in bloody clothes, which would immediately give her weak heart a panic attack. Quietly and safely, he reached his room, which is on the second floor of the mansion.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGHF1pkWim
He enters the dark room, turns on the lamp light, and takes out his sharp pointed knife he had used a few minutes ago to cut his own secretary's throat, who was unfortunately a spy from the Russian Mafia and threw it over the bed.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a1OweHyoa
When Carlos said he hates people who lie and fool him, he means it. With a calm and composed face, he went to the bathroom and washed his bloody face with cold water. A mixture of red and black water passed the sink hole.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRicxRsEJ2Q
He wiped his face with a fluffy white towel, looked at his reflection in the mirror, and stared blankly for a few seconds before touching the mirror with admiration.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpg8GiSIdi
“How did you become so ruthless, Carlos?” He whispered to himself.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hDV6DatSW
“Well, you have to be if you need to become the CAPO.” He smirked devilishly and chuckled at his justification to be a cold murderer to kill the charming 24-year-old man.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPaeGsDDeB
He stripped down completely and got under the shower to take a cold shower to cool down the raging animal inside him.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oXF3yWOuq
‘Sympathy, Empathy, Kindness are just nothing but a burden for the Mafia!’ the words his Dad roared at him years ago chanted in his head. He slipped into a thin blue t-shirt and joggers, combed his black jet hair, and left the room.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0Cu67y31x
Neither Rose nor Catherine has seen the wildest and darkest side of Carlos, which would definitely make them loathe him. The Miller's daughter haven't even seen a bit of Carlos' evilness, and she already hates the man purely.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7YBD5pfXX
“Evening Mom…” He said while climbing down the stairs.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx98GusiXi
Catherine and Rose were seated on the leather couches on the right of the vast hall. Brochures, cards, and papers were spread over the coffee table.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0Ndiy6o4v
“Evening big boy, Mama and Cathy were going through a few themes for your engagement,” she chimed and waved a few theme catalogs and brochures left by the event managers.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ9pB5YjAW
“Oo…good to hear you are preparing for my funeral,” he said dryly and strolled to the kitchen area.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aeAjPO2gM
Catherine shrugged her shoulders and continued focusing on her work. Rose felt bad for Carlos and got up to have a talk with him.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Mm3hElxEp
Carlos was plopped on the countertop and gulping down water quickly.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDu0nQFQxj
“C, I know it's hard for you…but you should give her a chance…she isn't that bad.”
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB608YmiuHB
He choked and spit the water.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6JBfYr0ZR
“Haven't you gotten enough from her for the last three months?” He said smoothly and wiped his lips.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFH5uWVztq
“You are too narrow-minded, she needs more time to get adjusted to our special family. Bella is a charming and beautiful girl…maybe she is spoiled by her parents but it doesn't mean she could never be a good one.”
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQFA5w0M82
“Mom…you are too good for your own good…” He lightly rubbed her shoulder. “Don't worry…I'll be okay with her,” he said softly.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrE0d7JDG7
She grabbed his left hand and brought it closer. “Mama knows, inside this cold heart there is a warmth and kind soul craving for love and affection…” A drop of tear slipped out of her eyes. “I am sorry…I…I shouldn't have let you be involved with the mafia…” Hot liquid started to stream down her cheeks effortlessly.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeFmPo1p5Q
“Oh Mom…please…” He hugged her and patted her head lightly. “Please don't cry…you haven't done anything wrong… I am bought to be part of this… even if I try I can't get out of this hell hole…” Rose broke the hug and cupped his cheeks.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiccZ0mhHd
“Carlos, listen to Mama. Drop this whole mafia business and start a fresh and new life with Bella…I need peace and happiness in our family.” Her blue eyes were glittering with hope.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhadYkVSLLO
He removed her arms, let out a small sigh, and shook his head in disagreement.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yCeiF86SH
“No… not this mom…I have spent half of my life trying to make the Italian clan the best. My blood, sweat, and tears! I need to be the next CAPO and I am the most eligible for it.” Rose shook in disbelief. “Once you are in the game…it's impossible to be out.” His green orbs were cold as ice, leaving a shiver down her spine.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQrT93wfEc
“Good Night,” he said coldly and left the kitchen, leaving a terrified-looking Rose now completely startled by her sweet boy's terrific words.

“ Aunty?” Anny was startled and turned around to see Jackson looking confused. She quickly hid the priscription into her handbag.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvUT2Ufgm7
“ Uhh, Jack…”
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs1fZl2Eqt
“What are you doing at the drugstore?” He moved forward and placed a piece of paper on the countertop which was quickly acknowledged by the pharmacist.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf3yWqhqBB
“ Mmm, I just came to get some monthly essentials for Anna…”
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8CystOoBY
His brows knitted togather.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGD3msgj6z
“ What happened to her?” He asked bluntly.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj7r5IJSGg
“ Nothing to worry about, Jack. It's just a few products for her monthly periods,” she said timidly.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReR1SQyrIO
Jackson’s face turned into a red tomato and he scratched his head awkwardly.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqISmjBlVx
“Oh… uhh… okay.”
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxjRZ84li0
“ Sir…” Like a blessing, the pharmacist came in between and asked a few questions about the dosage.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC9yrPL9Gf
“So… how is Johnny?” She tried to ease the situation.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9TR0aCUhg
“Terrible as always… Mom and Dad left for France for vaccination, thus I have to take care of the grown-up baby,” he chuckled lightly at his own comment.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq03cm1Y6M0
They made the payment and left the drugstore.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30kOPuPgeD
“ You went to Oslo today?”
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOJQMfsQdG
“Yeah… Dad has instructed me to make frequent visits to the company to check everything is going well.”
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5co7knMLF
“Oh… won't you be leaving for Spain this week?”
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1DcEwTDHA
“Yeah…” he said dreadfully. It's becoming impossible for him to pass a day without seeing Anna. “How did you know?”
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFmI8m9McF
“Umm... Anna said,” happily that her nagging friend won't be there to annoy her.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFEFbczqOM
“Oh.”
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68VgxRujZK
“Okay Jack, see you tomorrow… Anna would be waiting for me,” she said after glancing at her wristwatch.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHhGXuiSmd
“Uh… I'll drop you.”
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0DpYjmGLP
“That's fine, I'll take a cab.”
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHTvsEOQs1
“Oh Aunty, my mom would beat the shit out of me if I let you alone on this cold night.”
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpqd400tlg
Reluctantly, she accepted the offer. The ride to her apartment was silent. Anna called her and enquired where she reached. Anny hadn't said Jackson would also join their dinner tonight which would definitely piss her off.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxB8Sktg5x
A few minutes later...
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyMHeOynzg
“Anna… open the door, sweetie…” Jackson and Anny were standing in front of her apartment.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHSeKUJ1Tl
The wooden door flung open, revealing Anna with a poker face. From the balcony, she saw the person accompanying her Mom.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjFVkbv1Qc
She glared at Anny, then at Jackson.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHT3pPgRXE
“ Where have you been till now?” She asked coldly and held the door.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgQuehc6Hj
“Shopping, sweetie,” Anny chimed and pushed past Anna casually.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DRFoqVbg4
Anna turned around and placed her hands on her hips to start interrogating her Mom.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFbm9nq9L3
A strong arm snaked around her tiny hips, making her flinch.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfokpBHDnpF
“Evening, honey,” Jackson whispered huskily. She choked on her saliva once his body pressed against her fragile one.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksM60xgdEV
“Mom! See what he's doing... Leave me, you jerk.” She slapped and pushed his arms roughly and stomped to Anny's room.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFm4JLmFcx
“Don't say he would be here for dinner,” she yelled while entering the room.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZggpO9bcn
“I have to; he will be here for dinner.”
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEfsq7qhVQ
“Impossible! Mom, he grabbed me!” She complained to earn a close smile.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmZTvtWBIk
“He is just messing with you, Anna… don't take it seriously.”
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa85zuPN6q1
Anna, being dramatic, gasped at her reply and stomped to her room and slammed the door.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8H3cOVWgl
Anny changed into a simple warm frock and headed to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjApQixNC3U
KNOCK
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdTUDfp4iW
“Sweetie, dinner is ready…” Anny yelled from outside.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8yDCEKW35
“I am full!” Anna said while laying on her stomach and scribbling in her personal diary.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkUu3y1JZy
“It's your favorite dish, Anna… Roasted beef with Yorkshire Pudding.”
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD7n6UR03F
Anna instantly rose from her bed and thought for a moment if she should forgive her mom and join the dinner with the jerk.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2rtirSbuk
“No… I have a stomach ache,” she said slowly.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7usUIxr9xs
“Is that your cramps?” She yelled, making Anna cringe.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb1A0V8URl
“Oh, no! Just leave…” She cried out and sunk back to her fluffy bed while flipping the pages of her diary.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7zFx4ooAb
For the next few minutes, she scribbled random stuff and slowly drifted into sleep.

“Cupcake… wake up…” A soft velvet voice whispered in her ears while caressing her cheeks smoothly.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6HV2Ho2eJ
She frowned in her sleep and groaned annoyingly and turned.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphVGDU2kq3
“Anna…”
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHPSExKfsO
“What? Leave me alone, mom,” she said in a sleepy voice and snuggled to her pillow.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2Z6zDrjdL
Her eyes shot open once her conscious mind identified the voice and smell.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPE8F70NleX
She turned around to meet a pair of ocean-blue orbs staring deeply at her.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEg8NgKDO0
“What the… what are you doing in my room?! How did you get inside?” She instantly got up from the bed.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6nvUSekJX
“Well, it's easy when you have a wide-open window,” he pointed at the window close to the balcony.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyjx0kN2qi
She rubbed her temples, shut the windows, and opened the door widely.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZNc6xF2Zo
“Out!”
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMY3SbVs4A
“Cool down, baby. I was just-”
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmdRPrrQVa
“Get Out!”
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I8NJK0ctp
“Okay… okay… I just came to say goodbye before leaving for Spain… Dad has asked me to take an early flight tomorrow… so…” He bit his lips and stared at Anna, who was half asleep.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi24zCvhDd
“Okay, I got it… have a safe journey,” she let out a loud yawn and said, “now get out.”
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq039fHzGX
Jackson chuckled in amusement and pushed past Anna before she closed the door he held.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8geC8hDG8
“Now what?” She said in a sleepy voice.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kW1O4I2yJ
“I'll miss you…”
“Well, I won't,” she muttered and shut the door with a thud and sauntered to her heavenly bed to get back to her dreamy world.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0UpMOsUKe
