Third Person's POV:
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8Jz2RfgDF
The thick metallic gate of the Mancini mansion swung open, allowing the shining black Rolls-Royce inside.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvU3SLWbSO
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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZLKLJ3T9p
Without further delay, Charlie and a few of his men left the palace.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWNkqVA6yY
Carlos took one of the secret passages leading to his room from the garage area and reached his room.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgOmrkbkDG
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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX97nqQvXv
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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntOuKb0AIp
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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLCHCM72Sp
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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuA6tnMxIL
“How did you become so ruthless, Carlos?” He whispered to himself.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VunkDrdJS
“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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJoeNbAbMD
He stripped down completely and got under the shower to take a cold shower to cool down the raging animal inside him.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCwZ1N9JeV
‘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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AoeLRp5o8
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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IXVtF5ZlI
“Evening Mom…” He said while climbing down the stairs.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Vaclfc6Oa
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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin2Dwj5lxo
“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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDs1DAMtcW
“Oo…good to hear you are preparing for my funeral,” he said dryly and strolled to the kitchen area.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43OunwMYPy
Catherine shrugged her shoulders and continued focusing on her work. Rose felt bad for Carlos and got up to have a talk with him.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHdWuYW4wB
Carlos was plopped on the countertop and gulping down water quickly.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMa3VUmsyj
“C, I know it's hard for you…but you should give her a chance…she isn't that bad.”
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0eFOKRKcO
He choked and spit the water.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDztVFa3bf
“Haven't you gotten enough from her for the last three months?” He said smoothly and wiped his lips.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd7cb0fT8b
“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.”
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLIxqfScUk
“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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWwV8SmSMn
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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOj0yXukRT
“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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQa4UKFaUG
“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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuP3MhxDGrz
He removed her arms, let out a small sigh, and shook his head in disagreement.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmND2nR9fS
“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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvAwK9oGGB
“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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmUzjR2dNg
“ Uhh, Jack…”
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2O7Ywz9kE6
“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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0tW6oENQo
“ Mmm, I just came to get some monthly essentials for Anna…”
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO33Q1CP9B6
His brows knitted togather.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40i7anqbVm
“ What happened to her?” He asked bluntly.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEoVmxnuso
“ Nothing to worry about, Jack. It's just a few products for her monthly periods,” she said timidly.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzPkqizp0E
Jackson’s face turned into a red tomato and he scratched his head awkwardly.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylr0hSK9XH
“Oh… uhh… okay.”
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUpC2Ickdu
“ Sir…” Like a blessing, the pharmacist came in between and asked a few questions about the dosage.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzrLazw6fE
“So… how is Johnny?” She tried to ease the situation.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWK6YCtx1C
“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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnd06etU09
They made the payment and left the drugstore.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLHx9mwCu5
“ You went to Oslo today?”
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQZV3nnfoO
“Yeah… Dad has instructed me to make frequent visits to the company to check everything is going well.”
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzlcd2cnlP
“Oh… won't you be leaving for Spain this week?”
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaqwWXpNuF
“Yeah…” he said dreadfully. It's becoming impossible for him to pass a day without seeing Anna. “How did you know?”
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fGeuM2hvK
“Umm... Anna said,” happily that her nagging friend won't be there to annoy her.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUW09av5bC
“Oh.”
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkigj6d9Lsj
“Okay Jack, see you tomorrow… Anna would be waiting for me,” she said after glancing at her wristwatch.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQCUJrdPMq
“Uh… I'll drop you.”
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy3fvfethn
“That's fine, I'll take a cab.”
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKbUPffRHh
“Oh Aunty, my mom would beat the shit out of me if I let you alone on this cold night.”
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdTebT1wFO
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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SHkS3ytx0
A few minutes later...
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR4hvdHN00
“Anna… open the door, sweetie…” Jackson and Anny were standing in front of her apartment.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOaHDqkbtE
The wooden door flung open, revealing Anna with a poker face. From the balcony, she saw the person accompanying her Mom.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlqxmh453r
She glared at Anny, then at Jackson.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy1x1WiUTT
“ Where have you been till now?” She asked coldly and held the door.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5wZT2gHsi
“Shopping, sweetie,” Anny chimed and pushed past Anna casually.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfKRsiajP1
Anna turned around and placed her hands on her hips to start interrogating her Mom.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWO0gFELh8
A strong arm snaked around her tiny hips, making her flinch.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPMeM7llSd
“Evening, honey,” Jackson whispered huskily. She choked on her saliva once his body pressed against her fragile one.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY4xuTwTB2
“Mom! See what he's doing... Leave me, you jerk.” She slapped and pushed his arms roughly and stomped to Anny's room.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBe50EUyzw
“Don't say he would be here for dinner,” she yelled while entering the room.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURSLOBLYy8
“I have to; he will be here for dinner.”
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19S67447fA
“Impossible! Mom, he grabbed me!” She complained to earn a close smile.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9VDvFRXpt
“He is just messing with you, Anna… don't take it seriously.”
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmllY8emqBR
Anna, being dramatic, gasped at her reply and stomped to her room and slammed the door.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iYJpNqBST
Anny changed into a simple warm frock and headed to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt4COcdNhf
KNOCK
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuplLG29lYm
“Sweetie, dinner is ready…” Anny yelled from outside.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3QNOE8vLI
“I am full!” Anna said while laying on her stomach and scribbling in her personal diary.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZBoq6Fg59
“It's your favorite dish, Anna… Roasted beef with Yorkshire Pudding.”
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jhvxTumA5
Anna instantly rose from her bed and thought for a moment if she should forgive her mom and join the dinner with the jerk.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOrOrwKVjE
“No… I have a stomach ache,” she said slowly.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCZtoM3nOD
“Is that your cramps?” She yelled, making Anna cringe.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0EhvhSqKM
“Oh, no! Just leave…” She cried out and sunk back to her fluffy bed while flipping the pages of her diary.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuP5iJIYuyO
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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbotmK9xd8I
She frowned in her sleep and groaned annoyingly and turned.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5yphzWlWK
“Anna…”
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfO2rXVTVS
“What? Leave me alone, mom,” she said in a sleepy voice and snuggled to her pillow.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEn2GW7Fj5
Her eyes shot open once her conscious mind identified the voice and smell.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xNaeHSptp
She turned around to meet a pair of ocean-blue orbs staring deeply at her.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpglD4rXd6A
“What the… what are you doing in my room?! How did you get inside?” She instantly got up from the bed.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQeb9RFVsE
“Well, it's easy when you have a wide-open window,” he pointed at the window close to the balcony.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI2aU1vp3m
She rubbed her temples, shut the windows, and opened the door widely.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZD8IPdDfI
“Out!”
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaBsn7gjix
“Cool down, baby. I was just-”
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80UnhEMxxn
“Get Out!”
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzNAunVhHq
“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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7BYYpSxtR
“Okay, I got it… have a safe journey,” she let out a loud yawn and said, “now get out.”
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3d5t8mmJQ
Jackson chuckled in amusement and pushed past Anna before she closed the door he held.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYEI84bezl
“Now what?” She said in a sleepy voice.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdonLSY5GY
“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.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrHOjuCWvA
