Rain saw him and knew who he was almost immediately. When she saw mem stationed in front of Alexander’s office, she’s first thought they were the men that followed Enzo and Alexander everywhere but they were all dressed differently and none of them looked familiar. The two men at the entrance of Alexander’s study both had their backs turned to her but only one of them was able to pique her attentionHis silhouette looked so familiar, it brought back the memories of that day when she stared long and hard at his back as he left her on that floor to die, his fingers stained with Elisa’s blood and Rain’s knees soaked in Aldo’s.He didn’t turn around though, Rain couldn’t see his face and even though she couldn’t be sure, she noticed the other man pulling out a gun from his waistband and turning off the safety.“We’re supposed to shoot Alexander Guerriero and not miss, if we go in now, things would be so much more easier for us,” the man’s partner said impatiently, sounding like a child

“What are you going to do to him?“ Sleep, Rain, I’ll tell you all about it after it is done,”“No!” Rain turned around so she could be face to face with him, but that was a big mistake on her part. The second her gaze landed on his face, her heart beat so fast that she thought it would fly out of her chest.There was this effect seeing his face had on her and as much as she enjoyed it, she wanted it to stop as well because it scared her.The last time she felt this way towards a man, he had almost killed her, he has broken her down into tiny pieces and ruined her for everyone else.“I just need to see, I need to know what you’ll do to him,”That bastard had taken the life of a person she cares so much about and made her relive the pain of losing a parent again.Rain didn’t want to be consumed by the hate she was feeling...even though it was definitely too late for that.Rain had shot the man and didn’t feel even a tiny bit of remorse after. She feared the kind of person she w

Rain lay in her bed, she was tempted to put her hands over her ears. She couldn’t sworn she still heard the screams of Ymir when Alexander did what he wanted to do.Tearing open his skin, burning him, punching him…every single action elicited a scream from the man Rain almost felt pity for him but then again she doesn’t look away and one might even say she enjoyed every moment.Is it what Elisa would’ve wanted?That tiny voice at the back of her mind haunted her.If Elisa were here, would she approve of Alexander doing such a thing and Rain supporting him?Rain doubted it but the fact remained that Elisa was dead and she was never coming back.“Hey…” Viola’s weak voice brought Rain out from her thoughts. “Viola!” Rain gasped as she immediately got up from the bed and walked to the door where Viola stood. Rain put an arm around her waist to support her and helped her as both of the walked slowly to the bed. “You should be in bed resting,” Rain said as she heard the tired si

A rose by her bedside.Every single day for the past one week.It should feel like a routine, like her life was finally getting back to the weird normal it was when Elisa was alive but, it didn’t.Rain now knew who was keeping those roses every single morning, what baffled her the most was how she never stirred whenever he walked into the room.Yet whenever they met during the day, he was indifferent toward her, both of them knowing fully well what had happened only a few hours ago.Alexander was driving Rain insane, confusing her with his actionsOne second he was the charming man she knew, bringing a single rose to her bedroom whilst she slept and then the next second he is the Don of the Guerriero empire and her nothing more than his assistant.“Aren’t you and Xander going out for a meeting today?” Viola asked, a bag of chips in her hand and countless crumbs littered on the bed and her face like she was a fucking five-year-old!Yes, Viola has also been here in the past one w

Rain wasn’t going to be distracted by the activities at the park, or so she told herself. It actually became a chore just to pay proper attention to their conversation. “…really went through with it,” “Yes, yes I did.” Alexander’s reply was short and devoid of any emotion. He brought out the files that Luigi had given to him earlier and set the down on the table. “Wow,” Williams said with a low chuckle, “You really don’t waste time when it comes to these things Mr. Guerriero,” He took the files and divided them into two, giving the other half to his twin. “The list is quite long but it’s achievable, don’t you think?” Walter asked his brother who nodded in reply. Were they going to be the ones tasked with killing the families? Holy shit. Was Alexander really going through with it? “What are you guys going to do with them?” Rain could see from the top of the files that they were people’s profiles, even little kids weren’t spared. The Endicott brothers looked at Alexander stran
