Rahim’s POV My jaw tightened when I saw the name on the invitation letter. It was from Mara. “What’s wrong? Is that bad news or what? A summons from the police station?” she asks. That made me laugh. “No. Of course not. Police were afraid of touching mafia groups in your story, missy.” Her face became blank and she laugh after. “I forgot, agh.” She touches her wound. “Even Raphael still aches because of his wound and yet he keeps on running around doing her daily routine,” I mumbled. “Because he was like that. I made you guys be workaholics to keep your mind busy. You know, like how I did to forget the pain from losing that jerk,” she uttered. “You still love him, hmm?” ?“Nope. The day I saw how they betrayed me, I knew that my feelings were fragile like bubbles. When he hurt me, it pops in one shot.” I can tell that her bitterness in love was passed on to us and even if we’re just characters from her story, I knew myself how painful it is. “By the way, is that an invitation or w
Gwen’s POV I knew they still have doubts about the words that comes out of my lips. I also feel like I’m dreaming but when I prick my finger with needles, I can still feel pain. Even if I slap or pinch myself. It’s futile and I feel like a crazy lad. I nodded as a response to Raffa’s sarcasm. He has always been that irritable person but when you get the chance to get close to him, he can be gentle and warm. “Well, it is because of this.” Rahim places the invitation on the mini table. Raphael grabs the envelope and opens it. “Invitation from Mara?” he asks. I nodded. “I heard that she is your ex, right?” Mariz ask. He nodded. “Yes. She is my ex-wife that abandons me because he marries your dad to become a mafia leader,” he murmurs. “My dad trains me to be the next leader but all of a sudden, I received a message and he told me that he didn’t want an illegitimate child to rule his business and his mafia group. But I doubted it was him because he never call me by my name. He always us
Raffa’s POV I just wanted to ask about how terrifying I can be when the time comes that Mara to get?the chance to manipulate me. But she suddenly tells me that she’ll be my genie? This woman… she’s full of wonders… she’s like the sun that suddenly lights up this mansion. I put down the can of beer and look at her. “Anything?” I ask. She nodded. “No exemptions?” I ask again. “Yes. Even if you tell me to jump on a bridge, I’ll do that.” That made me surprised and feel warmth for seconds. I held her cheeks and move my face closer. “A date with me in my favorite beach restaurant this Friday,” I whispered. She blushes which makes her prettier. “O…kay. Are you sure? I mean I can cook you meals for a whole year! Clean your room and so forth.” That made me laugh and sit properly. “Yup, that’s my wish. It's mine so the genie shouldn’t suggest it, right?” I remark. She simply nods. “Yes, that’s true.?But I am telling you, I’m not good in fashion and I might be the ugliest girl you ever dated
Raphael’s POV I look at her. “What happened? Raffa’s face seems to be pissed. What did you do?” I ask Gwen. She shrugs her shoulder and sigh. “It’s not my fault. It’s one of his exes. She came back and I think… she wants him back. Her name is Kimberly if I’m correct,” she says. “Kimberly? She’s the reason why Raffa’s life had turned upside down. He will be pissed if she came after she failed in her relationship with the man she cheated on. That is a slap on his face,” I utter. She simply nods. “You guys are quite harsh when you’re the one who cheated on, huh?” she murmurs. I laugh. “Yes. Maybe because we feel like our things are not enough to make our lover happy. Or it hurts us maybe because we might not be wild or good enough in bed,” I replied. “Tell me, sex is really the reason for cheating or what?” she asks. I sigh and cross my arms.” No. When a girl became nagging or when they start suspecting us, even if we haven’t done anything yet. When they ignored us and lastly thei
Gwen’s POV I sigh and laugh. “No, and yes. Whatever it can be, I am not a part of this world and I have to go home. But I am more afraid that I’ll be a burden. Miss Mariz was created to be a well-known mafia boss like Ms. Grace, plus she knows martial arts and weaponry. And me? I only use a knife for cooking. I can’t go there to be captured and used to threaten any of you. Just bring girls who can fight for their lives,” I stated, and take a seat. I am happy that I can now dance better than what I did at that banquet of a relative of mine, but I have my own anxieties because I’m still in a fantasy world. At least in anime or manga, you can determine what will happen next plus! They’re just stories! But to me? Oh man, I feel like Karma is punishing me for overworking. My goodness. They sigh. ?“But you’re clever yourself. Maybe I should give you that weapon. You don’t have to worry because are lighter than normal guns,” Raphael says. “A gun? Are you serious?” I ask. He nodded and
Geneva’s POV I sigh and felt bad for the only two employees in my firm. “Attorney Heather, we haven't received any work for two weeks in a row. What should we do?” she asks. “I know. I can still pay for your salary this weekend but… I’m worried about the next salary day,” I honestly said. “Then we better find a big shot client or else those stupids will laugh at us,” he remarks. “I know, but trust me! We will surely…” I accidentally look at the glass wall and saw those two men on a motorcycle. My eyes widened. I grab those two and pin them on the floor. The glass debris was flying everywhere when they started shooting us. I covered them. “Aghhh!” she screamed. “What the fuck!” he curses. They keep shooting us for three or more minutes until they heard a siren. I heard their motorcycle leaving the place. “What is that?!” she asks while crying. “Don’t move yet. Just stay put until the police enter the office,” I commanded. They both nodded and after a few minutes, the authorities
Raffa’s POV I grab her shoulder. “This side. Don’t look back and when I said to hide, then do,” I whispered in her ears. “What is happening?” she asks. “There are gangs who are tailing us,” I whispered. “Oh shoot. Maybe they are the ones who shoot my office,” she answered. My brothers protect the other ladies. When we saw a corner where we can hide, we grab their hand and run towards that corner. That’s when they start shooting us. “Oh, fuck!” she curses. I look at her. “Are you hurt or something?” I ask. “Did you have an extra gun?” she asked. I shook my head. “You know how to use one?” I ask. “Of course! I will never ask one if I didn’t!” she says. I sigh. “Just get down and hide. Rahim! Let’s corner them. Big brother, stay here and you still have wounds. Protect the ladies for the meantime.” “Make sure to grab one of them alive or all of them. We will interrogate them,” he says. I nod. “Make sure you won’t die,” she says. I gave her a glare. “What?! At least I care,” she rep
Raphael’s POV When I look at him, I notice that he was aware of such a presence in front of him. “Move further so I can hide my face in you. I think I saw a poinsettia member. She accidentally raised her hand and I saw the poinsettia flower on her upper chest. She must be here for me,” he says. I move to my left. “My wife told me if we can negotiate and ask why did you help her and save her from your ex-wife’s group? We learned that you guys had sheltered the running princess of the lilies. I hope she’s not…” I look at him. “It was Gwen who told us that Mariz is in danger and we need to save her. We will be helping her of getting the house of lily again. As for what we did, it’s Gwen who told us. She wants us to be good sheep. Maybe because she saw that we didn’t want to be the villains like how she designs us,” I answered. “Why did you believe that she’s the writer, and this is a story she makes?” he asks. “If you heard this, you might believe her. She told me about this secre
