Third Person's POV:
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM0oGqLaVV
The thick metallic gate of the Mancini mansion swung open, allowing the shining black Rolls-Royce inside.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLme2vJfxe
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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB4TNvfGaL
Without further delay, Charlie and a few of his men left the palace.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUd5MNDa8o
Carlos took one of the secret passages leading to his room from the garage area and reached his room.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHTTNfBL1i
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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC5bXGyMeO
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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejGvJqssSC
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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEUzJl5aev
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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1jZc1bdT0
“How did you become so ruthless, Carlos?” He whispered to himself.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywIOfut5Jx
“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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UFfCM78FQ
He stripped down completely and got under the shower to take a cold shower to cool down the raging animal inside him.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYxSvHwnna
‘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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPFeYVgder
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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg8Jz5vwGn
“Evening Mom…” He said while climbing down the stairs.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MefP9VuUQ
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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CL9kUh2Ta
“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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkZ2OIzBTn
“Oo…good to hear you are preparing for my funeral,” he said dryly and strolled to the kitchen area.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYKcKrH47E
Catherine shrugged her shoulders and continued focusing on her work. Rose felt bad for Carlos and got up to have a talk with him.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv2LJrivnH
Carlos was plopped on the countertop and gulping down water quickly.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9yjw7Z1R2
“C, I know it's hard for you…but you should give her a chance…she isn't that bad.”
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd6pipkEge
He choked and spit the water.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmwWgQmjtG
“Haven't you gotten enough from her for the last three months?” He said smoothly and wiped his lips.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nvtDGdG1u
“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.”
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9gE90fxZS
“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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABAhicNRXr
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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajJsyJBjyT
“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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqhJTqjW2z
“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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqXvWl1gIT
He removed her arms, let out a small sigh, and shook his head in disagreement.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pRERG5y59
“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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNDUci02HO
“Good Night,” he said coldly and left the kitchen, leaving a terrified-looking Rose now completely startled by her sweet boy's terrific words.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJicez45qJP

“ Aunty?” Anny was startled and turned around to see Jackson looking confused. She quickly hid the priscription into her handbag.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0B0lmgm2J
“ Uhh, Jack…”
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmoMfgARD9
“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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvkGeg7VpP
“ Mmm, I just came to get some monthly essentials for Anna…”
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CLwW63ClN
His brows knitted togather.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7lTeWMeGZ
“ What happened to her?” He asked bluntly.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep5OMP1Vj8
“ Nothing to worry about, Jack. It's just a few products for her monthly periods,” she said timidly.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOjMwWzZ8o
Jackson’s face turned into a red tomato and he scratched his head awkwardly.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttBYbNaxoP
“Oh… uhh… okay.”
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMVqLFOars
“ Sir…” Like a blessing, the pharmacist came in between and asked a few questions about the dosage.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEOAJoSmhf
“So… how is Johnny?” She tried to ease the situation.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmNNyEkhQS
“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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxchsWr91t
They made the payment and left the drugstore.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4kVLeQKz9
“ You went to Oslo today?”
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6645qJeop
“Yeah… Dad has instructed me to make frequent visits to the company to check everything is going well.”
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhHQXjZCo5
“Oh… won't you be leaving for Spain this week?”
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jn4C8a29N
“Yeah…” he said dreadfully. It's becoming impossible for him to pass a day without seeing Anna. “How did you know?”
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSDhowrfSK
“Umm... Anna said,” happily that her nagging friend won't be there to annoy her.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDvyXhuXRU
“Oh.”
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0KHdn7eZr
“Okay Jack, see you tomorrow… Anna would be waiting for me,” she said after glancing at her wristwatch.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsXKYed7TC
“Uh… I'll drop you.”
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqoLdFy767
“That's fine, I'll take a cab.”
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gHTiJ7j2F
“Oh Aunty, my mom would beat the shit out of me if I let you alone on this cold night.”
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSVnSKLekK
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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A2D7y4TCn
A few minutes later...
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzTS15tJrP
“Anna… open the door, sweetie…” Jackson and Anny were standing in front of her apartment.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AA8BLUCJP
The wooden door flung open, revealing Anna with a poker face. From the balcony, she saw the person accompanying her Mom.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLs6q7nMma
She glared at Anny, then at Jackson.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Stdgy2yRL
“ Where have you been till now?” She asked coldly and held the door.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8JeNsXggi
“Shopping, sweetie,” Anny chimed and pushed past Anna casually.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gNPJAftML
Anna turned around and placed her hands on her hips to start interrogating her Mom.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNXs4P1bzo
A strong arm snaked around her tiny hips, making her flinch.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs6HFFVp4b
“Evening, honey,” Jackson whispered huskily. She choked on her saliva once his body pressed against her fragile one.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t4dsYowry
“Mom! See what he's doing... Leave me, you jerk.” She slapped and pushed his arms roughly and stomped to Anny's room.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrFxlYS3Xv
“Don't say he would be here for dinner,” she yelled while entering the room.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ54eubzfUO
“I have to; he will be here for dinner.”
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdAKrNtxZv
“Impossible! Mom, he grabbed me!” She complained to earn a close smile.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx64H2Z986q
“He is just messing with you, Anna… don't take it seriously.”
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cTfoGyVMv
Anna, being dramatic, gasped at her reply and stomped to her room and slammed the door.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ105gy6L4n1
Anny changed into a simple warm frock and headed to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwwO1Jw9uw
KNOCK
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4udkhZJQjW
“Sweetie, dinner is ready…” Anny yelled from outside.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5luHEaC9ld
“I am full!” Anna said while laying on her stomach and scribbling in her personal diary.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8n5TyuUUJo
“It's your favorite dish, Anna… Roasted beef with Yorkshire Pudding.”
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZL9uHMPrc
Anna instantly rose from her bed and thought for a moment if she should forgive her mom and join the dinner with the jerk.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygPrM19iRv
“No… I have a stomach ache,” she said slowly.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNuwbJ9zca
“Is that your cramps?” She yelled, making Anna cringe.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3GsImhDyv
“Oh, no! Just leave…” She cried out and sunk back to her fluffy bed while flipping the pages of her diary.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkKahPs21b
For the next few minutes, she scribbled random stuff and slowly drifted into sleep.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix4TsmShkU
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ABX770mTD
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6gkwRKIRA

265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7pZxXC2c6
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoDd7qeMPX
“Cupcake… wake up…” A soft velvet voice whispered in her ears while caressing her cheeks smoothly.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUiQrxaRGA
She frowned in her sleep and groaned annoyingly and turned.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHBwQqlgtU
“Anna…”
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjIlMIMrKH
“What? Leave me alone, mom,” she said in a sleepy voice and snuggled to her pillow.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8gWk1pwJg
Her eyes shot open once her conscious mind identified the voice and smell.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL6sdlV9eQ
She turned around to meet a pair of ocean-blue orbs staring deeply at her.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1Oj385OxJ
“What the… what are you doing in my room?! How did you get inside?” She instantly got up from the bed.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp8mXGByTU
“Well, it's easy when you have a wide-open window,” he pointed at the window close to the balcony.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzWcHrahbi
She rubbed her temples, shut the windows, and opened the door widely.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TK0VHa3Xu
“Out!”
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKAgPVqK1w
“Cool down, baby. I was just-”
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjS1OFvEvN
“Get Out!”
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrOlEbkQiY
“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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyUNvw9Zyq
“Okay, I got it… have a safe journey,” she let out a loud yawn and said, “now get out.”
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgGDeOpUje
Jackson chuckled in amusement and pushed past Anna before she closed the door he held.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXaCH8Bf6l
“Now what?” She said in a sleepy voice.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mbCfvyyiI
“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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDiXT94clP
