“If the hurt comes, so will the happiness.” –Unknown
Dexter POV
“No, it's not real. This must be some kind of dream. ” I mumbled, looking around the room with the presence of my entire family. Their faces were pale and they hardly moved an inch. I can't believe this. They can't just turn their backs on me.
“Sister, wake up, please. ” I pleaded in front of her cold body. She wasn't breathing and I can't feel her heart rate. I shook her body but still no response.
“Brother, get up now. You can't let me do this on my own. I need your support. There's no way I can do this alone.” I punched him a little bit in the arm, but he didn't flinch or show up as usual.
I moved to another body, my mom and my dad. I found them lying next to my sister and my brother-in-law. “Mum, tell me it's not true,” I cried like a child beside her as my hand held her motionless hand. I turned to look at the face next to her when she shows me no reply.
“Dad, do you hear what I'm saying? Please, give me a reply. Tell me you were kiddin'. You're a mafia king, and you can't let it get you killed. Show 'em, Daddy. Show the world how strong you are,” I cried out, refusing to accept the truth that was plainly before my eyes.
Dad, mom, sister, and my brother-in-law, lying in the room with no breath or heartbeat. They weren't with me anymore and they're never going to answer me again, not anymore. I tripped and fell on the cold concrete which made me hit the ground hard for my frustration. It was hard enough for me to bleed, but I couldn't feel the pain. I'm telling myself, this isn't the end. This is just a start. I will make the end for which I wish.

“When I first met you, I had no idea how much you would end up meaning to me.” -UnknownDexter POV“Sweet pie, come on, the car is ready,” I called Andrea a few times after waiting for a while in the living room. Today was her day, which means I need to free myself of other things and make myself available solely to her.“I'm here, dad." The sweet, little angelic voice came near me. She wore a floral knee-length dress with her curly blond hair attached to a ponytail.“What's taken you so long, sweet pie?"“I’m a girl, daddy. It takes time to choose the cloth." Can you imagine a
“Be the moon and inspire people even when you’re far from full.”- K.TolnoeElsie POVI didn't feel comfortable at the same table as the guy who just yelled at me in the middle of the café. That guy was utterly rude. I ignored him and paid all my attention to the chatterbox who keeps talking to me. She was cute and I love to talk to her, I might add, with all the children as I am a lover of children. I adore their cuteness a lot.“Sweet pie, I will be right back. I have to take this call first.” The rude guy in the dark blue shirt and black leather jacket who was sitting across from us talked and came out of the caf&
“Eventually, everything connects.”- UnknownDexter POV“Daddy, can you help me to text Elsie?” She walked into my room and pulled the hem of my shirt, begging for my attention.I just came back from work and that was her first request. Great, the woman successfully won first place in her heart. She turned me into a jealous uncle.I lifted her up and held her in my arms. She placed one of her hands around my shoulder.“Give me my kiss first," I said as I brought my cheek closer to her face. She kissed me like I told her to and smiled.“Let’s text my friend.” I sighed, couldn't figure out how she was able to capture her heart.
“Arrogance is the camouflage of insecurity.”- Tim FargoDexter POVAndrea's request has invaded my mind over the last couple of days. I wanted to do whatever it took to make her happy, but it's beyond my control. I can't force her to stay with us in this mansion, not after what I told her at the cafe the first time I met her.‘It's a good thing she wasn't injured. Otherwise, you won't even be breathing right now.'I remembered that was how I scolded her during our first encounter and I'm sure it doesn't make a good impression on me. It's go
“I’d rather argue with you, than kiss someone else.”- UnknownElsie POVI was in a deep sleep when my phone suddenly rang a few times. I tried to hide it under the pillow so I could not hear the ringtone, but the noise kept me from sleeping peacefully. Come on, whoever's on the phone, at least take into consideration the fact that people need more sleep over the weekend. I curse before I answer the call with my eyes still closed, not bother to know the caller's name.“Hmm," I was humming lazily without a word of greeting.“And good morning to you too.” A husky voice can be heard clearly over the line. I c
“You smell like love.”- UnknownElsie POV“Let me go!” I shouted out loud. I don't know who the hell they are. They just drove by my car when I was in the parking lot and shot me in a car with tinted glass.“Please, miss. We don't want to hurt you, but we're just following our boss' orders." One of the guys sitting next to me spoke. Judging by their dark dress from head to toe, they looked like bodyguards. My eyes caught this identical scorpion tattoo on their necks which resembles a gang tattoo.“Who is your boss?” I tried to conceal my fear.“You're going to find o
“He smiled and all I could think was ‘Oh shit’.”- UnknownElsie POVI woke up with a slight headache. I rubbed my eye but I felt pain when I lifted my hand. I noticed my elbow was injured. I scanned my surrounding which I’m not familiar with. My eyes landed on the figure lie next to me, on the king-si
“You make me feel things I didn’t believe anymore.”- UnknownDexter POVToday will be the day she will be here. I can’t approach her in a nice way so I don’t have another alternative but to use my mafia’s way to make her follow my plan. I knew she hates but me but it doesn’t matter. I don’t need love from anyone. I don’t do romance because I knew eventually it will hurt in the end.“Welcome, love.” I greeted her when the bodyguard brought her to my office in the mansion. I asked them to fetch her from her condo this morning.
