Third Person's POV:
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eLmOnepZE
The thick metallic gate of the Mancini mansion swung open, allowing the shining black Rolls-Royce inside.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqlfk8CT24
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGpSxs45HD
Without further delay, Charlie and a few of his men left the palace.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUHfPUAeoa
Carlos took one of the secret passages leading to his room from the garage area and reached his room.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcBwNYx7wZ
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0LeVZi6fY
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZvHatVUks
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfkZT6HGpQ
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GBHLK0NEl
“How did you become so ruthless, Carlos?” He whispered to himself.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERr6eE7BDD
“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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvDFMOYjze
He stripped down completely and got under the shower to take a cold shower to cool down the raging animal inside him.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRogDaRCJl
‘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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVap0eLmad
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQe7LQAVay
“Evening Mom…” He said while climbing down the stairs.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGEQ5lxycB
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0F4d2oGnv
“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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4WgselyXm
“Oo…good to hear you are preparing for my funeral,” he said dryly and strolled to the kitchen area.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRddHuQtc16
Catherine shrugged her shoulders and continued focusing on her work. Rose felt bad for Carlos and got up to have a talk with him.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iYcw1KM9a
Carlos was plopped on the countertop and gulping down water quickly.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3oqy5zhWG
“C, I know it's hard for you…but you should give her a chance…she isn't that bad.”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wU8biJZKC
He choked and spit the water.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKK0n81gpzZ
“Haven't you gotten enough from her for the last three months?” He said smoothly and wiped his lips.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXrelDtLM5
“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.”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYEMR2BUD2
“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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4NmQZBNtA
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAIDp3kFBF
“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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fYFxtchAY
“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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrgtb64YxN
He removed her arms, let out a small sigh, and shook his head in disagreement.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBaE8AZYrt
“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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvsWy3mWf5
“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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG7NdKx1nF
“ Uhh, Jack…”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4Lqm6STYe
“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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgSRqHbdXf
“ Mmm, I just came to get some monthly essentials for Anna…”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWnXXRXvLW
His brows knitted togather.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqHnfU7Njv
“ What happened to her?” He asked bluntly.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wA5CXeCH6
“ Nothing to worry about, Jack. It's just a few products for her monthly periods,” she said timidly.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ROJewbo3c
Jackson’s face turned into a red tomato and he scratched his head awkwardly.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjsYgcLYwu
“Oh… uhh… okay.”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseXS3NXZPK
“ Sir…” Like a blessing, the pharmacist came in between and asked a few questions about the dosage.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqtldRrZnj
“So… how is Johnny?” She tried to ease the situation.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSewLR8grP
“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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDYcgQbroh
They made the payment and left the drugstore.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQMFUH4EeD
“ You went to Oslo today?”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXpbTQZ8ml
“Yeah… Dad has instructed me to make frequent visits to the company to check everything is going well.”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqPomMSybm
“Oh… won't you be leaving for Spain this week?”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXagfUB5JU
“Yeah…” he said dreadfully. It's becoming impossible for him to pass a day without seeing Anna. “How did you know?”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswBJ6MSxee
“Umm... Anna said,” happily that her nagging friend won't be there to annoy her.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhdEFGx1ia
“Oh.”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs9j2LQH75
“Okay Jack, see you tomorrow… Anna would be waiting for me,” she said after glancing at her wristwatch.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm78gDBIsx
“Uh… I'll drop you.”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflD10AcWEr
“That's fine, I'll take a cab.”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzOhkvI4eP
“Oh Aunty, my mom would beat the shit out of me if I let you alone on this cold night.”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA1LdvtROf
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbsmD39icM
A few minutes later...
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77Cz9zW9I2
“Anna… open the door, sweetie…” Jackson and Anny were standing in front of her apartment.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoI3ds6Dcp
The wooden door flung open, revealing Anna with a poker face. From the balcony, she saw the person accompanying her Mom.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FjEw9XttA
She glared at Anny, then at Jackson.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Sio52166G
“ Where have you been till now?” She asked coldly and held the door.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgxxtiNk79
“Shopping, sweetie,” Anny chimed and pushed past Anna casually.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMkFFbzAv3
Anna turned around and placed her hands on her hips to start interrogating her Mom.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbGtYLUyEE
A strong arm snaked around her tiny hips, making her flinch.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bnJJuKbUH
“Evening, honey,” Jackson whispered huskily. She choked on her saliva once his body pressed against her fragile one.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm6lDuB8mk
“Mom! See what he's doing... Leave me, you jerk.” She slapped and pushed his arms roughly and stomped to Anny's room.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDABilBnoL3
“Don't say he would be here for dinner,” she yelled while entering the room.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVg9UkiLxI
“I have to; he will be here for dinner.”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjng7p2i8Oh
“Impossible! Mom, he grabbed me!” She complained to earn a close smile.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoaTFghL4i
“He is just messing with you, Anna… don't take it seriously.”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yr6zoCmUp
Anna, being dramatic, gasped at her reply and stomped to her room and slammed the door.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmm7OoMq8v
Anny changed into a simple warm frock and headed to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJHKQLUbc1
KNOCK
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh7aPBEdVt
“Sweetie, dinner is ready…” Anny yelled from outside.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNLYiI84od
“I am full!” Anna said while laying on her stomach and scribbling in her personal diary.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqH1tmqLNoz
“It's your favorite dish, Anna… Roasted beef with Yorkshire Pudding.”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuj0Yx8AXb
Anna instantly rose from her bed and thought for a moment if she should forgive her mom and join the dinner with the jerk.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpVpQM6Vyr
“No… I have a stomach ache,” she said slowly.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh7FQJnDhl
“Is that your cramps?” She yelled, making Anna cringe.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyUIHNh2Nn
“Oh, no! Just leave…” She cried out and sunk back to her fluffy bed while flipping the pages of her diary.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFNKN1ft7l
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGbHZoDjGw
She frowned in her sleep and groaned annoyingly and turned.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0shRJoULqL
“Anna…”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPelODENrM4
“What? Leave me alone, mom,” she said in a sleepy voice and snuggled to her pillow.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPIYawQImR
Her eyes shot open once her conscious mind identified the voice and smell.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSgba0jnPr
She turned around to meet a pair of ocean-blue orbs staring deeply at her.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b0L7fxqBp
“What the… what are you doing in my room?! How did you get inside?” She instantly got up from the bed.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcKAARtDsK
“Well, it's easy when you have a wide-open window,” he pointed at the window close to the balcony.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosYoVD8FH8
She rubbed her temples, shut the windows, and opened the door widely.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUmgDiVbTr
“Out!”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5RWM2XZet
“Cool down, baby. I was just-”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kvOBPgBjh
“Get Out!”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh5qOrOKeP
“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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AESvd9i5K
“Okay, I got it… have a safe journey,” she let out a loud yawn and said, “now get out.”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZcI1YMX8a
Jackson chuckled in amusement and pushed past Anna before she closed the door he held.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSFCFjNnCS
“Now what?” She said in a sleepy voice.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoSmiHcVBo
“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.206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxbK03c6kI
