Verosha let the phone ring for two before answering it with a loudspeaker. She doesn’t mind that Lium might be able to hear their conversation since he was still out after staying up for too long than hers.
“Finally, when are you coming back to town?” Verosha speaks before she took a bite from her breakfast. She might be having English breakfast but there was something weird mixed on them, maple syrup even though there was no pancake. She made sure it was soaking her entire plate with ketchup and mayo over the fried foods.
‘On our way since Aldrich called us earlier.’
‘We’re checking if we’re really needed to play in the game.’
‘And it seems it's a legit call.’
Three persons answ
“You’re the HIT, not me, Tashie” Lium chuckled as he kept on dodging Tash's charges at him. “ARGH! LET ME STRANGLE YOU IN FRONT OF YOUR WIFE!” Tash might be shouting that but her eyes shifted into something serious. She moved differently and faster than earlier. Lium noticed it and carefully readied himself and when Tash lounged at him, they were blocked. Tash was surprised at how Lium managed to block or deflect her attacks as if he could see them clearly. They were doing their sparing all of a sudden when Lium recalled something and run back inside the dining area. He just left Tash almost stumbled on her feet when she released her another attack. “THE FUCK!” Tash reacted when she watched Lium go back inside the mansion.
As soon as the call has been cut off, Verosha gets into the awaited black-tainted car with her selected bodyguards. “Let’s go to my hotel.” she commanded to her mafia driver who had a scar over his chin. “Are sure about this, Lady Vero? You’re going there as a mafia boss and not the CEO.” one of her bodyguards who was sitting in the front seat asked her. “Don’t worry about it. I’d rather expose my dark secret than lose the remaining family that my mother leave me in my hands.” She answered while watching the updates on the tablet that she took with her. “That so thoughtful of yours, Lady Vero.” another bodyguard from her left side commented over her kind words even though her voice was totally cold like always.
“She’s in the VIP Room 273.” the nurse answered and they quickly thanked him before heading to the elevator. Lium might be looking as collected as he always but deep inside he was totally worried and his hands were both sweaty. He was indeed nervous about what he will learn once they got there. When they got inside the elevator, Andy could notice some agitation around Lium but didn’t bother on pointing it out on him except an assuring pat over his shoulder. “Thanks, Andy.” Lium thanked him and Andy just smile as he nodded then they made it to the designated floor. They looked around and once they got there, they saw Verosha’s bodyguards being wrapped with bondages. He sighed over their wounds but when they all noticed Lium’s presence, they all greeted him. Lium just ga
Giving time to celebrate the good news and the safety of Verosha, Lium love the view of his wife finally expressing the happiness that she was feeling from within. But something made his smile fade and went into a very serious one. Lium let his wife have fun talking and mingling with the others as he decided to slip away back inside the mansion. Yet, even though he was already inside making a call, his eyes never left his wife and carefully watched her from a right distance. “Tyl, make sure to get Barron in time.” Lium was on his phone while watching everyone carefully in the garden having fun and congratulating their lady boss about the pregnancy news. ‘Don’t worry, Tash already caught him just this afternoon. He was totally devastated and furious about not managing to get his transaction done
As another day began to start hitting their morning, Lium prepared a healthy breakfast for her wife who woke up later after an hour. Verosha went through her usual routine. She did her workouts but not as intense as she usually does and then she went to the bathroom to freshen up. When she was all set and decent with her smart suit clothing, she went downstairs to see what her husband prepared for their breakfast. “Morning, babe. What’s for breakfast?” Verosha wrapped her arms around Lium’s waist who was just finishing making waffle pancakes. Lium smiled and kissed his wife’s head lovingly. “Feel for a tower of pancake waffles and selected syrups for your liking with whipped fruits for your dessert and hot chocolate milk for your drinks.” Lium answered that made Verosha salivate since she loves the sound of it. “That’s a tasty meal for my morning.” she sounded excited and went to her seat while Lium started on plating for her. “Anything for you and our baby.” he smiled lovingly sin
Aiden was watching Lium carefully and shivered over the cold and imperious facade that he could emit. He could definitely guarantee that this man in front of him, Lium was not giving him any lies and was only true to his words yet, he want to know something before he could trust his words.“I know that he’s your target but what will you gain from having that pathetic kind of man?” Aiden was being cautious when he asked Lium about it.“He’s stealing money from my wife and I won’t tolerate such a thing since that money was for the familia and those who were loyally working for us. And trust me, you don’t want to know what we will do to him.” Lium answered with his firm and yet, cold voice that still made Aiden a little agitated.“Well, Lilium Familia
When Verosha’s laughter finally died down, she get up from her seat and went closer to the frosted window of her office. She watched everyone move according to their chosen life before she turned to her men, particularly to Nicolite. “Very well, I’m letting you go because of your Sir Lium’s command, and be prepared for how tight the security of all of my properties will be changed into now that he’s with us.” She meet their confused faces and pardon what Nicolite and the others did yesterday. “What Sir Lium can do for us, Lady Vero?” Max still wondered and Verosha just smiled like a sly fox that she could be. “I’m not sure but I’m loving about what he was busy plotting around my properties. I wanted to see how things will turn out.” she answered and looked outside the window again with a hopeful sm
“You know that he won’t be safe doing any transaction at the port without any protection from any powerful familia.” Verosha states her reason for her sighing to what she just heard from her husband but Lium seems not affected by it.“You also should know that some of familia around the areas also want to have their own cargo port as one of their assets. It's a big and dangerous business to make.” She added that every familia or mafia or even gang had a shipping boat for their smuggling transactions whether they were big or small. It would be a dangerous business from her point of view.Lium understood what and where his wife was coming from since Verosha was a leader of her own familia that she inherit from her mother. She knew how dirty, dangerous, and deadly to have a business
