The smell of injections, medicines and antiseptics mixed together to make Violette's stomach turn.

How much she hates the smell of hospitals. It makes her sick to the core.

Massimo had driven her to the hospital after the contract signing, and it's surprising how the nurses attending to her pretended not to know about what she did to Dominic.

The news is all-over the country, and she's currently wanted.

Massimo is sitting on a couch in the private ward, working on a tablet.

Obviously, he has this hospital in the palm of his hands. He's the mafia boss anyways, his authority goes far and wide.

Violette looked at Paolo who's standing rigidly behind the nurses attending to her.

Paolo looked down at her, and she smiled a bit. "Does he own this hospital? I mean...Mr. Visconti"

Paolo threw his face away, and she bit into her bottom lip, scoffing in secret. There's hardly any difference between Massimo himself and Paolo, they're both chunks of dry ice.

Her head got treated and bandaged, and her knees were patched too. She was given helpful shots to relieve the pains in her system, and she was made to lay in bed for rest.

Her mind reeled back to Dominic, the fact that she doesn't regret or feel any remorse is blissful. She had the last laugh after all.

Her eyes fell on Massimo who's still on his tab, sitting gracefully on the couch, and questions shrouded her mind.

Why did he not just tell the kids about their mother's death instead of hiring her to act like the dead wife?

Why does she share the same face with the dead wife?

These questions disturbed her head, and she pulled a sigh out of herself to calm her medulla.

Massimo suddenly stood, making her blink slightly as he walked to her, darkness oozing off him in waves.

"All news about you will be out of the media houses before daybreak, and the case will be closed too" he said easily.

Violette sat up quickly in bed, her eyes showing how shocked she was.

"Just like that? It didn't take an hour. I killed someone and I'm off the hook after you pressed your tab for some minutes?" She said in an unsettled rush.

"You'll stay here for a week to heal" Massimo spoke, ignoring her words.

"Oh...ok" she sounded.

"Ask the nurses anything you want, they'll provide it. I'll be back in a week to pick you up" Massimo continued.

Violette just sighed, then he dropped his tablet on her hands which she quickly held.

"It contains everything you need to know about Teresa and the kids. Take your time to learn them, efficiently" he addressed, his tone authoritative.

"Sure" she nodded again, tightening her grip on the tab.

"The pregnant lady, do you want her dead?" Paolo asked.

Violette looked up, he's definitely talking about Carla, and she got mixed feelings immediately.

Now that Carla's fate is in her hands, what punishment befits her?

"Kill her" Massimo ordered when she was taking too long to reply.

"Yes boss" Paolo replied straight, and Violette got down from the bed, grabbing Massimo's arm.

Massimo looked down at the contact, and she quickly let go of him before apologizing.

"I'm. . .I'm sorry"

"It's pointless, we have lots of acts to do in front of the kids" he replied point-blank, his brows thickening.

Violette dropped her hands slowly, her mind swaying to Carla.

Carla is a bitch who deserves to die in a ditch, but for the sake of her pregnancy, she's willing to spare her life. The baby might be Dominic's, but it's too innocent to be murdered in the womb. She won't be that cruel.

"Leave Carla alive" she said politely.

Without anymore talk, Massimo and Paolo left the ward, and Violette fell back in bed, sighing out.

"Do you need anything, Mrs. Visconti?" A nurse asked, and she swiftly turned her head around to see a smiley nurse standing beside her.

"Mrs. . .Visconti?"

"The boss told us to address you like that, ma'am" the nurse respectfully replied, and Violette squinted.

That was. . .fast.

Mrs. Visconti. Sounds foreign, sounds new.

---

[A week later]

Violette was ready for the game when Massimo came to pick her up at the hospital.

He had taken her to the needed places for the needed touches especially the eyes.

Emerald contact lenses were attached to her eyes to give her the real Teresa Lombardi look, and she had to wear tall heels since Teresa liked them.

Though, that's nothing since she wore tall heels for her modelling shoots before.

She has been reading Teresa's and the twins lifestyle, likes and dislikes on the tablet since three days ago, and she grasped as much as possible.

She even read all about the Visconti Estate, but that still wasn't enough to prepare her for the awe she experienced when she came down from the McLaren with Massimo and Paolo.

The car drove into the large Visconti Estate three minutes ago, and those three minutes were what it took for the car to get to the main park.

The estate has teak trees in it's surroundings, creating a weirdly good greenery, and the road was paved with cobblestones. There are short growing dandelions in a small garden, and Violette got to know through the tablet that the kids love the flowers.

Apart from the main ash-painted mansion in the middle of the estate, there are separate quarters for the guards and cleaners, and there are several other empty buildings which Violette is yet to know their uses.

Tall, hefty guards strolled the perimeter, their figures threatening and intimidating with their long guns locked securely in their grasp.

Violette's eyes wandered back to Massimo who's accessing her with all of his devilish eyes, making her uncomfortable.

She's wearing a white low-cut dress—simple but sophisticated like Teresa's style, and it hugged her curves, giving her the look. Massimo had picked the dress.

Massimo took his eyes off her satisfactorily and led the way to the main mansion.

Paolo carried Violette's expensive trolley bag and led her in with Massimo, but getting to the main mansion door, they met the two spawns by the door

Lucia, a beautiful blondie who looks like a goth barbie in her all-black outfit, unsmiling, and Luca who looks like his father in his ash cargo pants and hoodie, his long lashes unblinking.

Violette got into character immediately, letting tears out of her eyes as she began walking to them, the scars on her forehead still very obvious despite the makeup, and the ones on her knees the same.

"How much I missed my babies" she sniffled, the tears multiplying in her eyes as they fell down her cheeks.

But before she could get to them, the two bursted her bubbles.

"Go back to where you've been for the past one year" Luca spoke stonily.

"And never come back" Lucia added with the same tone, and together, they entered the mansion.

Violette came to a standstill, her tears stopped falling as she faced Massimo and Paolo.

This will be harder than expected.

    Massimo's expression stayed unchanged, so is Paolo's.Violette felt like she's the only one who heard the kids just now, and she wondered if these two are really humans or stones pretending to have blood and flesh."You heard them" she spoke up, her voice lower than intended."What were you expecting, Teresa. You left them for a year and more. They wouldn't jump into your arms and give you a darn hug" Massimo replied, his words curt."I'm not Tere—""Watch your tongue, Teresa" Massimo cut her off, reminding her of her current identity.Violette quickly gathered herself together, brushing her hair back with her palm.Massimo entered the mansion, and a lady came out, taking Violette's bag from Paolo who retired to his own quarters afterwards."I'm Marie, the maid" the lady introduced herself with a smile so radiant it could lighten a room.Violette liked her immediately."You're the new Mrs. Visconti.

    The Cosa Nostra Den is like a rendezvous; a meeting point for all members of the inner circle.They have their meetings at least thrice a week if there are no problems on ground to solve.Paolo drove into the underground park, and Massimo carried himself powerfully, walking into the Den which is surrounded with trained guards.Paolo followed him into the secured building where they met the three other members waiting already in the dark-walled room.There are black couches surrounding a long glass table like a conference setting."Look who's here" Niccolo boomed, pouring himself a glass of vodka.He's shirtless, the tattoos on his skin looking ruggedly ominous. Niccolo is carefree and at the same time a hardtack member of the circle. His Peruzzi family owns the hospital, which is why it was so easy to get Violette treated there."Still can't believe he actually snatched her" Marina said beside him, mounting her legs on each other.She's a tall beautiful woman who has a strict badass

    Massimo has always known looking him dead in the eyes takes a lot of courage.Apart from the difference in the colour of his two eyes which is purely strange, his facial features tells a hard, humourless story. It could only be read by those he gives the chance.Wherever this woman in front of him got the guts to talk back at him from, must be somewhere from the pit of hell where he himself is the king.He lowered the cigar he's holding, and despite the fact that he has only had two drags, he crushed the light out on the ashtray that's always on the balcony rails top then faced her.Violette stood her ground, still looking him straight in the eyes as he took one large step to her, his chest nearly colliding with hers.She held her breaths, hoping he won't notice the fear she's trying to conceal, but the blink of her eyes ratted her out, making him smirk sharply."Breathe, Teresa, and try not to do the talking back thing in the future.

    Massimo entered the bedroom with Violette still intact in her arms, but immediately the door closed behind them, he placed her down, and the smile cleared off her face."Goodnight, you can now—"Her throat was already in the middle of his palm before she could finish.He grabbed her, pushed her to the wall and caged her in the middle of his broad arms, his eyes boring into hers as his palm continued lodging her throat, not enough to hurt her but enough to keep her in place."Mas!" She talked in a choky tone, and his palm squeezed harder, making her eyes close a bit."Don't call me that, or I'll kill you" he threatened, letting her go roughly.Violette coughed twice before facing him, her head tilting."Why? That's just a short from of your name I improvised to look romantic in front of your kids, and I got choked for it?"Massimo left the room with a glare but without an answer to her.Violette kicked her legs after him as if he's still in sight, then she fell in bed, sitting at the e

    The hatred in Antonio's eyes intensified with each passing second, and the longer he held eyes with Violette, the longer the tension in the air stretched.Violette knew not everyone would like here here considering the fact that she took the place of an important person, but this man is taking it too far.He might be the father of the late Teresa, but she didn't beg for this position. She was brought here by The Boss himself, so there's no way she's letting this slide.She tucked a little smile into her face, refusing to blink as she spoke casually. "If she held such special place in your heart, why not find someone to murder you so you'd go meet her up there?"That was followed by Antonio's hand raise, but before he could give her the hit, Massimo stepped in their middle, preventing that."She killed her groom! They dated for years, Massimo, but she killed him for a slight mistake! And you brought her in with the kids? What if she harms my grandkids?" Antonio spat."I will never harm

    It's a warm summer morning, and Violette looks stressed, restless as she watered the flowers in the garden. She has taken it upon herself to wet the flowers every morning even if the kids don't appreciate it. So far they like it, it's her duty to protect the flowers and prevent withering. She's a great lover of flowers too. When she was still at the La Rosa mansion, the madam of the house was obsessed with flowers, and she grew likeness for the plants through that. A deep sigh left her nostrils as she finished watering, but she kept standing in the middle of the garden. It's been a week since the 'thing' with Massimo, and she has been trying her best to keep away from him since them. She knew he had a dark side—it'd be strange for a mafia boss to be plain, but she wasn't expecting him to dig it out on her face so soon. Her trials at avoiding him were always fruitless though. Massimo intentionally shoves himself on her face to make her uncomfortable. He slept in her room

    Getting blamed for what's not your fault is hellishly hurtful. Violette knew from when she got accused of stealing at the La Rosa mansion.Tears and helplessness follows, and it'll be worse if no one believes your innocence story.As she carried the tray containing the cup refills of the beet juice out of the kitchen, her steps were slow with contemplation.If this goes the wrong way, it'd be entirely her fault, different from the stealing incident.This time, she won't be able to defend herself, and claiming innocence would be harder.That made her reconsider, and she whirled, turning back into the kitchen."Mum?" Lucia's voice stopped her. Her hands tightened on the tray, and her eyes widened.Mum?Did she hear wrong?She turned around, facing the kids at the dinning who're staring at her."Did you just call me...mum?" "Aren't you?"

Massimo spoke, and that's when she realized she has actually been staring at his eyes since a minute ago."Yes" she replied without thinking, and her eyes widened as she quickly covered her mouth with her right palm, but Massimo already dropped her in bed before she could take it back.She rested her palms on the bed as she shifted back on it, and he entered her parted legs, staying in the middle. He inserted his hands into his pockets sinisterly."Take off your blouse" he spoke, and the sporadic beating of her heart resumed as she gulped again."Unless you want me to take it off for you. I'm not gentle with clothes" he said, his voice a deep dulcet."You've... never been gentle with anything" she replied before she knew it, and she didn't cower after saying it.Before sh

Maybe because he has grown accustomed to the feel of her crying in his arms.Violette cried to her heart intent before letting go of him, and when she saw she has soaked his shirt with her tears, she gasped."I'm.. I'm sorry." She hiccupped, causing her to stammer without meaning to.Massimo held her face, and she hiccupped again.Paolo who has been the only witness to the coziness excused himself, leaving silently as Massi

They totally ditched the juice cups.Violette scoffed, and Izumi suddenly looked back at Alessandro."And who are you? I remember Massimo has two kids only""He's my kid" Marie replied, and Izumi frowned."I was wondering why he looks poorly fed.

You're the emotional type, aren't you? The same lady who stabbed her groom on the alter cos she cheated on you? Was he the first man to cheat?" She talked again.Violette folded her palm, stopping herself from tearing this mad dog to pieces and pour her remnants in an incinerator."I don't even need to take Massimo cos he's never yours and will never be. I only have to claim him since he's single for the claim anyways" Izumi continued, her smile blooming."And thanks for this gift," she touched her red cheek.
