The news about Cedric being hospitalized was spread quickly to the mansion. Everyone was so surprised to know that Cedric was almost dead. He was weak and could not move well due to his fatal wound. As for Miller and Lusiana, they did not seem to care much about it. For Vincent, he looked a bit worried. He planned to visit him later once his business was done. For Virginia, she looked really worried even though her relationship with Cedric was not that good lately.Gerald told Virginia about things that happened according to both Cedric and Michelle stories. He then requested Virginia to check on Cedric on the next day to report to him about his son’s condition. Gerald thought that it could be good chance to improve Virginia’s relationship with Gerald’s children.

The news about Cedric finally reached the capos. They thought that knowing this bad news was very worrying. Thus they demanded Gerald to think about it thoroughly. They did not want the reputation of the mafia clan to be underestimated since the mafia clan has always been in the top tier. They knew that Gerald has becoming weak due to his illness plus he was getting older. They needed to prepare their new leader as soon as possible.Cedric was the absolute successor that could replace Gerald’s position. However, they knew that Cedric was not ready yet because he was still too young. They believed similar cases that could endanger the mafia clan would arise sooner or later. To keep the clan’s supremacy, they needed to always perform tough and undefeated. For the current time, they wanted to have a temporary under boss, a loyal and strong one. The under boss would be in charge to support Cedric as the vice leader.The capos requested Gerald to have a meeting to discuss about this import
Gerald went back home and he told Virginia about the result of today’s meeting. Virginia did not really understand about the system of leadership in mafia. She could only support her husband with anything he wished for. She then asked Gerald to have dinner because she has cooked him some new dishes. She became better in cooking because Susan always taught her how to cook well. While Gerald and Virginia were having their dinner together, Michelle just arrived from the hospital. She looked at the dining table and suddenly she was hungry. She has been talking non stop with Cedric. She wanted to liven up the situation in the hospital because Gerald and the other adults were getting busy lately. She was a bit tired and almost forgot that she has not eaten yet. “Michelle, come and join us! I want you to tell me about Cedric’s condition too.” Gerald invited his daughter to have dinner with them, At first, Michelle’s mood was not really friendly
Things about choosing the best candidate of under boss made Gerald puzzled. He did not think that he would use his brain more just to decide which one between Miller and Vincent was better. Because of this, Gerald’s health went down and it made Virginia really worried. “Gerald, are you alright? You don’t seem healthy again.” Virginia was so sensitive about her husband’s health problem. Whenever she looked at Gerald’s sudden change in his mood, she was sure that Gerald did not feel well. “Ah, you’re right, my dear. I guess I have been thinking too hard about something.” Gerald confessed. “Hmm, if you want to tell me about it, maybe I can help. I will listen to you.” Virginia wanted to know about what thing bothered Gerald. Gerald then told Virginia about the election for the under boss. The capos urgently asked him to find an under boss soon because Gerald’s condition was getting bad. Because of his incompetence, the busines
Now that Gerald have been convinced by Virginia’s opinion, he requested to have a meeting earlier regarding the choosing of the under boss. The meeting was held some days later. The capos were curious about their new under boss. Vincent and Miller were also looking forward to know which one between them was chosen. “Finally, this will be the day to know which one between us is the winner.” Miller greeted Vincent. He looked so confident that he would be chosen. “Yes. I believe my brother has thought a lot about it. Whoever it is, I won’t refuse. I trust in my brother’s decision.” Vincent replied Miller. He looked calm because he knew that Gerald would choose him. When everyone was finally present in the meeting room, Gerald came in and he was accompanied by Virginia. A big silent soon happened. The capos were so surprised to see Gerald’s new wife was joining the meeting. They did not know what to expect. Miller was the one g
Virginia was having her leisure time in the kitchen. She wanted to cook something for Gerald with Susan aiding her. Gerald was not at home now and Virginia wanted to surprise him with her cooking. This time, Virginia wanted to make a Ribollita. Ribollita was a soup or potage made with bread and vegetables. Foe the main ingredients, Susan told Virginia to prepare leftover bread, cannellini, cabbage, lacinato kale. For the vegetables, Susan has preaperd celery, carrot, beans, and onion. Susan also suggested to add potato would to enhance the tastiness.“Alright, my Lady. Now let’s begin with slicing the vegetables. Watch me!” Susan practiced the way how she processed the ingredients. She cut it neatly and nicely.“Okay. Now let me try it!” Virginia then tried to do the same as Susan. She was pretty confident with her cooking skills.“That’s great, my Lady! Keep it up!” Susan approved Virginia’s talent in cooking.Virginia kept on going while Susan was supervising her Lady. Every time Vi
Meanwhile. In the kitchen Virginia was still crying. She did not expect that Lusiana would say those harsh things to her. It made her feel so sorry. She just wanted to try her best to be useful to Gerald. She thought that by letting Gerald stayed as the sole leader would be much better than appointing someone else. She did not want Gerald to be burdened by mafia matters too much. She was worried that it might trigger his health condition. But then she started to think again, if Gerald did everything by himself again he might overdo himself too.Virginia was confused. Indeed she has messed up things. She admitted that she did not really care much about mafia problems, all sh cared about was Gerald’s sake. However, it seemed like the situation was not going right. She wanted to do something but she did not know what to do next. She was clueless.While Virginia was still crying and sad due to her unwanted mistakes, Vincent came to see her. It made Virginia so surprised to see Vincent app

And finally, today was the day Cedric was given permission from the doctor that he may go back home.

I owe you one and the nurses too.” Cedric thanked the doctor.Cedric was accompanied by Harold today because he would be escorting him back to the mansion. Other henchmen were also waiting in the parking area to wait for Cedric and Harold.Harold gave the doctor a bag consisting lots of cash.
