Riccardo POV: "Who else could it be?! Of course, their own men! Did you forget how much they don't like that Leo replaced his father? The changing of power? It's normal if he got attacked. Someone probably didn't like him and didn't want him to become the next Mafia Don. He was a weak leader! And it's not anyone's fault if he got attacked by his own men!" Cassie probably didn't know how the underworld worked. When internal issues arose inside a certain region, the other Mafia Dons won't get involved. The newly appointed Mafia Don such as Leo should claim his throne with confidence by showing how much he got support from the other Mafia Dons. I had helped him, but things went south and Nicola died. As much as he blamed me for it, he was to be blamed too. Her death was a sign of weak leadership in himself. "Wrong! They had long united again after Nicola died. Why would Leo risk his brothers coming back to this country if he couldn't control his own men yet?" Cassie argued. Looked at t

Cassandra POV:I didn't dare to speak again after. I just went into the bathroom, washed my face and sat on the closed toilet bowl to take a moment of thinking. Ever since we came home, I had been memorizing Leo's phone numbers in my head, repeating them one by one until it had become a habit. The paper he gave me that contained his phone number had been destroyed. I burned it as soon as I had the chance. Ricky shouldn't find out about it because I bet he had that number too in his phone. He would freak out again if he knows I had Leo's number in saving.Not long after, I suddenly heard some people coming into the bedroom, so I came out from the bathroom and saw two men beside Ricky. One was Sergio and the other one looked like a computer technician. The technician was looking at Ricky's laptop, probably fixing something. The three of them all gazed at me as they heard me close the bathroom door behind me."What's wrong?" I asked and had my eyes on Sergio. I knew Ricky wouldn't want t

Cassandra POV:My head was just confused right now. I knew I should hide this matter but I guessed my brain stopped functioning for a while as the fear I had over Carina suddenly emerged again inside my heart. When you realized that you had to live inside a house with a real murderer who was after you, the last thing you wanted was someone who needed to rely on you. Right now, that someone happened to be my unborn baby. This child needed to be protected as he or she was innocent.I spaced out for a bit as my mind pondered on what I should do next. Maybe nothing? Just pretended as if nothing happened and acted like I was not pregnant? But how long could I pull that up before my stomach gets bigger? How much longer would Ricky stay in a marriage with Carina? Another few months? Should I start planning my escape from Ricky's mansion? Should I tell Leonardo about this? Would he help me escape if he knows?Amidst all those thoughts, my phone suddenly rang and that instantly snapped my mind

Riccardo POV:As soon as I returned from work, Carina came running to me, having her eyes in tears. I was bewildered to encounter this kind of situation as this woman had never cried before when I came home. Carina was a strong lady, so I assumed whatever it was that managed to make her cry must be something so awful.I made her sit in the living room with me and slowly asked her what happened. Then she just told me everything. She said that she invited some of her friends over today and I knew it because she had asked my permission about it this morning. She said that Cassie was getting uncomfortable with it and started insulting her friends. They got offended, then some confrontation happened and Cassie just suddenly pushed her into the pool. She was so embarrassed by what happened that she needed to tell her friends to leave. How could Cassie do that to Carina? Was she jealous that I let Carina have her friends over but not hers?The story that Carina told me just made my blood boi

Riccardo POV:I didn't know why my heart was so stubborn to look through again on the case of Nicola's death. Maybe because part of me knew I was responsible for her death. She was inside my region when the killing happened. That just reminded me how incompetent I was as the Godfather. I guessed it was my ego telling me that I had investigated the case thoroughly and the only explanation I could find to explain her death was that Leo's men were not pleased with the changing of power inside the De Luca region. I refused to believe that my judgement was wrong even though Cassie tried hard to change my mind.I just couldn't accept such a thing as Carina killing her own father as the truth. She was a loving daughter to the late Don Renato and he had lavished her with everything he could during his lifetime. With such care from her old man, why would Carina want to kill her father then? It had been three months since I was married to Carina. Yet, until today, Leo still stayed quiet and sa
