Third Person's POV:
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL70cY6qS6w
The thick metallic gate of the Mancini mansion swung open, allowing the shining black Rolls-Royce inside.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36oAJxMgyK
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVnFKtwIZY
Without further delay, Charlie and a few of his men left the palace.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnvqWJRxTx
Carlos took one of the secret passages leading to his room from the garage area and reached his room.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrF5Oh66oH
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIkNr4K6Gm
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrWhA2Gcnx
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fu0shguUk
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr6GJ2mplQ
“How did you become so ruthless, Carlos?” He whispered to himself.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p6Udk2KlZ
“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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeVlPtuBKP
He stripped down completely and got under the shower to take a cold shower to cool down the raging animal inside him.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACupwItZPs
‘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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBpuxHypDK
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6HbOLfvS1
“Evening Mom…” He said while climbing down the stairs.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsX3pHWGpVZ
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzAmYcL2Uo
“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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77s7GxBFbi
“Oo…good to hear you are preparing for my funeral,” he said dryly and strolled to the kitchen area.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxajJLORihL
Catherine shrugged her shoulders and continued focusing on her work. Rose felt bad for Carlos and got up to have a talk with him.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCj3l2VREq
Carlos was plopped on the countertop and gulping down water quickly.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNn7ktYZil
“C, I know it's hard for you…but you should give her a chance…she isn't that bad.”
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfbOIr0Kn2
He choked and spit the water.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb2Meqvc2F
“Haven't you gotten enough from her for the last three months?” He said smoothly and wiped his lips.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigKuYz9o8f
“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.”
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5soeHwr4S7
“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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCMn7aS9Fc
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGCUS5VDDG
“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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfGY8vfFHU
“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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFqSlB0b3z
He removed her arms, let out a small sigh, and shook his head in disagreement.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvFjqTDKmb
“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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bJRIoF9Xf
“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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxA3cNlMuZ
“ Uhh, Jack…”
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBIdygXhJN
“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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY69VT1diRO
“ Mmm, I just came to get some monthly essentials for Anna…”
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMp9W9tuH8
His brows knitted togather.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJJoLhGdlZ
“ What happened to her?” He asked bluntly.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihN2ETApMN
“ Nothing to worry about, Jack. It's just a few products for her monthly periods,” she said timidly.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoliwceWxz
Jackson’s face turned into a red tomato and he scratched his head awkwardly.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXjzGSPDNV
“Oh… uhh… okay.”
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpMvrhfbZu
“ Sir…” Like a blessing, the pharmacist came in between and asked a few questions about the dosage.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dOj8yLdTR
“So… how is Johnny?” She tried to ease the situation.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB1dG8TZuR
“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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSBM9U2Sza
They made the payment and left the drugstore.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquwXwfvcoR
“ You went to Oslo today?”
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Vr3cm8To5
“Yeah… Dad has instructed me to make frequent visits to the company to check everything is going well.”
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhCQCkNhZS
“Oh… won't you be leaving for Spain this week?”
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN4arCAGL7
“Yeah…” he said dreadfully. It's becoming impossible for him to pass a day without seeing Anna. “How did you know?”
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbg6CJZzfE4
“Umm... Anna said,” happily that her nagging friend won't be there to annoy her.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbcyAPbgir
“Oh.”
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyelGwWuvyK
“Okay Jack, see you tomorrow… Anna would be waiting for me,” she said after glancing at her wristwatch.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3E1OcoIEj
“Uh… I'll drop you.”
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCDztKSXhn
“That's fine, I'll take a cab.”
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZL2irsRi2
“Oh Aunty, my mom would beat the shit out of me if I let you alone on this cold night.”
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1jbFDgCDL
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1knFofzZ9T
A few minutes later...
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02RLG8dtbl
“Anna… open the door, sweetie…” Jackson and Anny were standing in front of her apartment.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq2OZU5O7H
The wooden door flung open, revealing Anna with a poker face. From the balcony, she saw the person accompanying her Mom.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxELKYvH29J
She glared at Anny, then at Jackson.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WOG1dT72J
“ Where have you been till now?” She asked coldly and held the door.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9qEZ4cHqy
“Shopping, sweetie,” Anny chimed and pushed past Anna casually.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyCNrxS5EH
Anna turned around and placed her hands on her hips to start interrogating her Mom.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPqhSbRD0Z
A strong arm snaked around her tiny hips, making her flinch.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3R2AWIogq
“Evening, honey,” Jackson whispered huskily. She choked on her saliva once his body pressed against her fragile one.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9wQSro6tg
“Mom! See what he's doing... Leave me, you jerk.” She slapped and pushed his arms roughly and stomped to Anny's room.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Qh2RUuljW
“Don't say he would be here for dinner,” she yelled while entering the room.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7k3OY5YPa
“I have to; he will be here for dinner.”
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CugdYRU74
“Impossible! Mom, he grabbed me!” She complained to earn a close smile.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsaFtOvjfs
“He is just messing with you, Anna… don't take it seriously.”
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ892OjHdYZm
Anna, being dramatic, gasped at her reply and stomped to her room and slammed the door.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC4dbaCBCY
Anny changed into a simple warm frock and headed to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHEgaDwfyK
KNOCK
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCccPDqaFEq
“Sweetie, dinner is ready…” Anny yelled from outside.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmqoaRmsMR
“I am full!” Anna said while laying on her stomach and scribbling in her personal diary.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVzizaVjoJ
“It's your favorite dish, Anna… Roasted beef with Yorkshire Pudding.”
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWfPpkeIDr
Anna instantly rose from her bed and thought for a moment if she should forgive her mom and join the dinner with the jerk.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpomufdKRvW
“No… I have a stomach ache,” she said slowly.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2RPuUNyAn
“Is that your cramps?” She yelled, making Anna cringe.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2ifJxkJLX
“Oh, no! Just leave…” She cried out and sunk back to her fluffy bed while flipping the pages of her diary.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzjLCLuiLd
For the next few minutes, she scribbled random stuff and slowly drifted into sleep.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsEZMsPzNP

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdWThNhOA5
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Yk2I4uslS
“Cupcake… wake up…” A soft velvet voice whispered in her ears while caressing her cheeks smoothly.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JyxYuwIS7
She frowned in her sleep and groaned annoyingly and turned.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrOn0ZYsWW
“Anna…”
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FZRD4lOTa
“What? Leave me alone, mom,” she said in a sleepy voice and snuggled to her pillow.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9R1pkhMPRg
Her eyes shot open once her conscious mind identified the voice and smell.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pBWecSxf8
She turned around to meet a pair of ocean-blue orbs staring deeply at her.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfA93CYxkl
“What the… what are you doing in my room?! How did you get inside?” She instantly got up from the bed.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE1acV5QVb
“Well, it's easy when you have a wide-open window,” he pointed at the window close to the balcony.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyiNVLszG7
She rubbed her temples, shut the windows, and opened the door widely.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡParCfZuw9r
“Out!”
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN3FnhEtNs
“Cool down, baby. I was just-”
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbD8llXJL6
“Get Out!”
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIbehlyjei
“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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKD6rcMy02
“Okay, I got it… have a safe journey,” she let out a loud yawn and said, “now get out.”
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVnGNPuHHP
Jackson chuckled in amusement and pushed past Anna before she closed the door he held.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FwliOlc8x
“Now what?” She said in a sleepy voice.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hUG1kVNCB
“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.252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtOWQxAiYm
