Third Person's POV:
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ufRJ7X8NE
The thick metallic gate of the Mancini mansion swung open, allowing the shining black Rolls-Royce inside.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULYuQAzO8t
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhSlNyBWn5
Without further delay, Charlie and a few of his men left the palace.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz21i7noa1
Carlos took one of the secret passages leading to his room from the garage area and reached his room.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM64MHGjNP
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi62R9c5HiM
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXHSY7cYyK
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaBpdvlSOn
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9qJUtg3Ah
“How did you become so ruthless, Carlos?” He whispered to himself.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGEBu5Aiie
“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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iKv88Mc0W
He stripped down completely and got under the shower to take a cold shower to cool down the raging animal inside him.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlZTECAOuF
‘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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZpXUAaRu3
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqiWT4aGmm
“Evening Mom…” He said while climbing down the stairs.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxElp3H4taB
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat7oS5t7N8
“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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPR1jsKQsj
“Oo…good to hear you are preparing for my funeral,” he said dryly and strolled to the kitchen area.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iF9iFtWwM
Catherine shrugged her shoulders and continued focusing on her work. Rose felt bad for Carlos and got up to have a talk with him.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eDzcaVvvF
Carlos was plopped on the countertop and gulping down water quickly.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNBC3geEWH
“C, I know it's hard for you…but you should give her a chance…she isn't that bad.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF5zTz7TCf
He choked and spit the water.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a9SgS4vxI
“Haven't you gotten enough from her for the last three months?” He said smoothly and wiped his lips.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouR1AGzjox
“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.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtKzBy2yZ1
“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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtVPBIRp6R
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhwXfOIxgH
“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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6dOyW1n8b
“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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpJHpsbOmi
He removed her arms, let out a small sigh, and shook his head in disagreement.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM13LFCzZ56
“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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgc41adg92
“Good Night,” he said coldly and left the kitchen, leaving a terrified-looking Rose now completely startled by her sweet boy's terrific words.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkngxqcYRbx
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQETlOwFTY
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHkpr8j0Q4
“ Aunty?” Anny was startled and turned around to see Jackson looking confused. She quickly hid the priscription into her handbag.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOgq0PVMnl
“ Uhh, Jack…”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X2x8pl0SA
“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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ridoqzn7S
“ Mmm, I just came to get some monthly essentials for Anna…”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsttdXPCPDI
His brows knitted togather.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5i0c2DGte
“ What happened to her?” He asked bluntly.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62m1tRh3Ob
“ Nothing to worry about, Jack. It's just a few products for her monthly periods,” she said timidly.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKRg0Ljllr
Jackson’s face turned into a red tomato and he scratched his head awkwardly.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDqsWw63Fe
“Oh… uhh… okay.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDnaJcXaGL
“ Sir…” Like a blessing, the pharmacist came in between and asked a few questions about the dosage.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOl7zHaOfu
“So… how is Johnny?” She tried to ease the situation.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5PRyHCNVc
“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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nTuas4e0M
They made the payment and left the drugstore.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8GalyLKLS
“ You went to Oslo today?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡho5kRAf7rY
“Yeah… Dad has instructed me to make frequent visits to the company to check everything is going well.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIJK6TqSG3
“Oh… won't you be leaving for Spain this week?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfG6sAQj4QD
“Yeah…” he said dreadfully. It's becoming impossible for him to pass a day without seeing Anna. “How did you know?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aNC9W8eBG
“Umm... Anna said,” happily that her nagging friend won't be there to annoy her.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjAFtggf2g
“Oh.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSzQlWjEaz
“Okay Jack, see you tomorrow… Anna would be waiting for me,” she said after glancing at her wristwatch.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14Q1nyEm6p
“Uh… I'll drop you.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTNsLnEA81
“That's fine, I'll take a cab.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpe4BIh5DW
“Oh Aunty, my mom would beat the shit out of me if I let you alone on this cold night.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NqOo2PiAw
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9Iq1WInbc
A few minutes later...
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhqbZ2fJzo
“Anna… open the door, sweetie…” Jackson and Anny were standing in front of her apartment.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnyqo69wPi
The wooden door flung open, revealing Anna with a poker face. From the balcony, she saw the person accompanying her Mom.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTOEybq9zn
She glared at Anny, then at Jackson.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ303EVRrQgr
“ Where have you been till now?” She asked coldly and held the door.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuWQmmye7x
“Shopping, sweetie,” Anny chimed and pushed past Anna casually.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIydPhMBQo
Anna turned around and placed her hands on her hips to start interrogating her Mom.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln9QHVHrSR
A strong arm snaked around her tiny hips, making her flinch.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV6UBGOCOo
“Evening, honey,” Jackson whispered huskily. She choked on her saliva once his body pressed against her fragile one.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpA0zUf0X5
“Mom! See what he's doing... Leave me, you jerk.” She slapped and pushed his arms roughly and stomped to Anny's room.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZIFQUHVLM
“Don't say he would be here for dinner,” she yelled while entering the room.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhejZERlVf
“I have to; he will be here for dinner.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjh4Jr1IyS
“Impossible! Mom, he grabbed me!” She complained to earn a close smile.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlUxHaUcfK
“He is just messing with you, Anna… don't take it seriously.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWktbMtAqWq
Anna, being dramatic, gasped at her reply and stomped to her room and slammed the door.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIsTejxOyG
Anny changed into a simple warm frock and headed to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jIJST0Pgv
KNOCK
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtszb3r71Oe
“Sweetie, dinner is ready…” Anny yelled from outside.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ntBqUwlSb
“I am full!” Anna said while laying on her stomach and scribbling in her personal diary.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHuB5V9yIR
“It's your favorite dish, Anna… Roasted beef with Yorkshire Pudding.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YzVGsuEkM
Anna instantly rose from her bed and thought for a moment if she should forgive her mom and join the dinner with the jerk.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwGDmAFwrf
“No… I have a stomach ache,” she said slowly.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Es3IztNxW
“Is that your cramps?” She yelled, making Anna cringe.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxcUVtY5gP
“Oh, no! Just leave…” She cried out and sunk back to her fluffy bed while flipping the pages of her diary.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaXotij7xM
For the next few minutes, she scribbled random stuff and slowly drifted into sleep.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfg3sSQpiu
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsnMcUvhuv
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqMXyJ7wIY

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxcz89FLOh
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5jKcYHYSK
“Cupcake… wake up…” A soft velvet voice whispered in her ears while caressing her cheeks smoothly.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKU6YeJRsR
She frowned in her sleep and groaned annoyingly and turned.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6KnDtlsXp
“Anna…”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzsdXunfUt
“What? Leave me alone, mom,” she said in a sleepy voice and snuggled to her pillow.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYO7Et47MH
Her eyes shot open once her conscious mind identified the voice and smell.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet85iE9Pyk
She turned around to meet a pair of ocean-blue orbs staring deeply at her.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc1vn8lNmr
“What the… what are you doing in my room?! How did you get inside?” She instantly got up from the bed.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKWT2yWBmg
“Well, it's easy when you have a wide-open window,” he pointed at the window close to the balcony.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyVwkxUhGN
She rubbed her temples, shut the windows, and opened the door widely.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA42L0InIL
“Out!”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCdXs2j3qn
“Cool down, baby. I was just-”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzgj7b5Upl
“Get Out!”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjQKWc1gdn
“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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeimYSr3ohn
“Okay, I got it… have a safe journey,” she let out a loud yawn and said, “now get out.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolwReDUO2r
Jackson chuckled in amusement and pushed past Anna before she closed the door he held.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxHv2HQgHc
“Now what?” She said in a sleepy voice.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSmIpMLB0y
“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.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvWzcr3c01
