LEO'S POV"Why would she think I was going for a burial, like black wasn't a cool colour?" That was all that kept on ringing bell in my head while I was driving to Jack's house. He called me earlier that day, informing me about how his dad was attacked and was hospitalized so he had to run things in the Mafia but he didn't know how so he needed my help. I was surprised when I saw my phone ring and it was Jack calling, I remembered what he did and chucked I didn't want to pick his call because I was still mad at him. Jack kept on calling so I thought it was an emergency, he was still my friend anyways, he had always been there for me anytime I needed him. After promising him that I was going to be there soon, I ended the call sent for Clara. By the time she came I was already done preparing, already heading to my car when I saw her coming to my room. She paused when she saw me and that was when she asked me if I was going for a burial, I was shocked by what she mean but I decided

CLARA'S POVI was surprised that Jack and Leo were close friends, In school Leo acted like he didn't even know Jack and now he is in his house. Nevertheless, I was mad at Leo for how he embarrassed me in Jack's house, he even called me a thing. If I was a thing why did he bring me along with him? Why did he hug me the other day? Why did he punish ma'am Lauretta after what she did to me? I knew I met nothing to him neither did he mean anything for me anyways, but based on what Renata had told me about him, he has never treated any other maid or anyone the way he treated me. I felt so bad because he openly called me his maid and a thing, but I didn't want him to notice so I held back the tears that was struggling to flow down my cheek, but I flopped when I couldn't bare it anylonger. I cried in front of Leo and Jack, it was so embarrassing, but as usual Jack was there to console me. He took me to his kitchen and used a wipe to clean my face while he kept on patting my head. "It fin

************"Shoot well Leo, you can't become the leader if you keep on shooting like this. What are you? A child? " Dad hit my head with the tip of the gun and I let out a loud cry, I tried running to mum but he slapped me and kicked me. I fell on the floor holding my right leg in pain, hot tears rolled down my cheek while I hope for this torment to be over but it seemed like it wasn't ending anytime soon.It was my ninth birthday, and dad had promised to give me the best birthday present that morning. I remembered how I anticipated greatly, looking forward to dad's gift, I didn't even have friends to celebrate with, the only friend I had was Jack but he went for holiday in his uncle's house, so It was me and my sister only. My mum and sister came to my room that morning with a cake, they sang a birthday song for me and hugged me tightly. I made a wish in my mind and blew off the fire on the candle."What did you wish for darling?" Mum asked me, running her hands gently on my hair

When I got to the meeting venue, everyone had arrived and were siting waiting patiently for my arrival. They all stood up immediately they saw me and remained standing until I sat comfortably on the chair. The meeting began and some of top member complained on how there drug trafficking business were crashing and other members complained about one thing or the other. By the end of the meeting, I found out that some of our most trusted members were betraying us, which was the cause for the recently attack we had, but I didn't let them know because I wanted to handle the case myself. I also let them know about my plans to begin training with the young upcoming members, they were all startled immediately I broke the news and I didn't explain any further. The abstruse meeting came to an end and I left, ignoring anyone that wanted to speak to me privately. On getting home, I felt so relieved and maybe excited, I hoped on seeing Clara this time around. When I got to the living room, I wa

LEO'S POVI was awaken again by the loud buzz from my phone which was just at the edge of my bed. I sigh angrily and ignored it just like the knock but the caller kept on calling non-stop, I became mad and took my phone to turn it off. With my eyes partly opened, I glanced at the caller, it was Jack. I wondered why he was calling me by this time, after much deliberation I decided to pick up considering the manner in which he had been calling, it must be something important. "Jack! Why "" Where is clara? Have you seen the news? Put on your television now! I just hope Clara is save" Jack interrupted me the moment I was about to question him. He made mention about Clara being safe which frightened me and I ran to get the remote and put on the television which had been in my room just for decoration because I barely watch it. I was devastated in the state I saw Clara in, she looked scared, sad and confused as the reporters rushed to her asking her questions. Blood was dripping from h
