***THE GUEST HOUSE****JUDE'S POV*I walked into the house excitedly, ready to announce to mum that my best friend is back but just as I stepped into the sitting room, I stopped. "Hey, baby." Mom came out of the kitchen and walked towards me and I frowned. "Why is dad's cologne so strong in here as if he was here?" I asked as my dad's cologne radiated in the room, especially from mum's favorite couch. Mom stopped immediately at my words and I stared at her with a frown, she looked taken aback at my question but she pouted after."I, I was the one that spray his smart collection all over the room... I just... I just miss him." Her sad voice was the least I could ever want. Seeing my mom tear or hearing her voice change to a sad one makes my heart churn in a very harsh way. I advanced towards her quickly and embraced her. "It's okay, it's okay to miss your husband. I miss him too, I miss dad so much... His cologne around the house is good. I like it." I said, trying my best to comfort
***PRIVATE JET****JUDE'S POV*Oh God, I just had a bad dream that I was kidnapped from my home. My eyelids parted slowly and I felt a sharp pain in my head but it went just as it came. I tried to stretch out my hands when I discovered that I couldn't move. My eyes looked down at my hands and I frowned at the thick ropes I was tied with. "The fuck." I cussed out as I stared around just to see that I was in a jet, in the freaking air."Keep your mouth shut, we're trying to sleep." A female's voice came from the side and I turned sharply to access her. She sat with her legs crossed but she looked 5ft8 just like my mum but her cream golden hair was tied in a lower bun while she coveredx the rest up with a black face cap which matched her jumpsuit. She glanced at me and I felt her sharp cold eyes bore into my soul. "Fuck you!" I told her with a good smirk and I knew I hit the bottom because I saw her hands twitch and hands wrap into a fistbut she didn't make the move to hit me which gav
***OLD HOUSE, MIAMI***"If you want me to, father." He answered and the Maniac nodded but the little smile at the edge of his lips didn't go unnoticed by me. Why did he smirk? That's question had been roaming in my head ever since I entered the extravagant room while this Marcus's lookalike sat in the corner of the room with his legs raised up and his head in-between, I sighed out loudly but then frowned when I heard him sniff. "Hey, hey, are you... Crying?" I asked dumbly and moved towards him only to scream out in agony as I felt a sharp blade cut my forearm skin. I gasped when I realized that it wasn't blade but a sharp knife. "The fuck, bro. Ah." I yelped out and collected the knfie from him. "Did he tell you to do it? Was that why he smirked? Did he tell you to kill me?" I asked in a whisper but he only stared at me with a painful expression and a quivering lip.I hissed, stood up, and made my way into the bathroom where luckily, a first aid kit lied. "I really miss mom right
*JUDE'S POV*"No one as ever talked to me so casually and has never questioned me before." He answered and I frowned but nodded. Is he that scary? I sighed out and passed him a small smile which he surprisingly returned with a small smile to and jeez, I was fucking confused about this man. "So... What juice. Majorly, I like pineapple juice." I brought the topic back up and he clapped his hands once with a jolly smile on and I don't know if I should be freaked out or not because Marcus was fucking terrified."I actually don't take juice... I got addicted to liquor over the years." He told me and I rubbed my heart immediately. "I know, it burns the heart and all but that doesn't count to a soul who has no inch of love in it and beside, liquor now tastes like juice." He answered and I shook my head in disbelief then laugh-scoffed.I stood up from my seat and walked around the table to the refrigerator, I opened it and brought out all the juice in it. I returned to the slab and picked ou
***THE OLD HOUSE****JUDE'S POV*Staring at my parents all sad and longing for my return made my heart churn and I realized that not everybody got the love I got while growing up. My parents protected me from every little evil the world could offer, what love could be greater than that."I also got to find out out that you both rule the darkest Mafia empire in New York." Mum gasped immediately and I sighed. "I should be so angry that you both kept it away from me but I know you did it for my best. And mom, I think you and Uncle Carlos have to calm the riff between you—""Did he hurt you because of that?" Dad asked immediately and I shook my head, no. "No, dad. He wanted to but he couldn't because..." I looked up at Carlos who had his eyes on me and I decided to swallow my next word. "He didn't hurt me, dad. And well, I also go to find out that he isn't involved with those men who tried to kill Snow." "Is he there with you?" Dad asked and I nodded. "Do you think I should talk with hi
"I love you, you love me, we are a happy family." Lydia said with a smile as she sat next to her brother on the hospital bed, she held his hand and creased it.Her brother smiled in response and she smiled out tears, she hurriedly wiped it and smile."Are you feeling better?" She asked and he nodded, it was actually a lie though. Everyday her brother keeps feeling weak but he lies that he is okay to her just to make her feel better."Okay, you know I have to go now, it's night already." She said and he nodded. She stood up and carried her bag, she kissed his forehead for over ten seconds before pulling away."I love you Henry." She muttered and he smiled, Lydia stood up and walked out of the hospital.Lydia Anderson, a prostitute who is willing to do anything to save her dying brother 'Henry.'Lydia is twenty twenty two years old while her brother is seventeen.

"They are here boss." A guard said and bowed in front of him, he turned to them and the criminals gasped when they saw him.He ignored them and puffed out smoke from his mouth and nose repeatedly."Please sir, we are sorry. We really are sorry, we had no idea the goods were yours, if we had known we wouldn't have touched it, please spare our lives." One of them said and the others cried along, they are four in number and there was no assurance that one of them is going to leave there freely.The boss turned a guard and dropped the weed in his hands."Execute." He ordered and they shot them immediately, he walked past them and walked out of the warehouse.

EARLIERThree huge men and a short man barged into Miss Claire's office (Lydia's Boss), she flinched on seeing them and stood up immediately."How can I help you?" She asked breathing heavily."Relax woman, we mean no harm." The short man replied and sat down while the three huge men stood behind him."Please sit." The man added and she slowly sat down."We mean no harm like I said earlier, we are here to talk business." "What business? This is a club." "Yeah, I know it's a club." "Okay?" "I will offer you a deal of five hundred million dollars if you or any of your workers can kill a man for me." "What?" "Of course I know you won't want to do it yourself so let's do it this way, I will give you ten million dollars and the person who will do the job five hundred million dollars." "What? Really?" She asked and the man nodded."Who... who is the person going to kill?" "Easy, Logan Griffo." "What? You mean the same Logan Griffo? The ruthless billionaire?" "Yes, sure." "But...
