Virginia visited the hospital again to see her husband. She kept on waiting but yet Gerald was still lying down on his same bed every day. She missed her husband that she could not hold her sadness anymore. She shared a lot about what has happened lately to Gerald even though he could not hear Virginia’s chatter. She promised that she would do her best to fix all the bad things inside the family clan.“Gerald, please stay strong, you must stay strong! You are the reason for me to keep living on. Until the day you finally come back to me, I will make everything work well.” Virginia grabbed on her husband’s hand. She kissed the hand and wished for his recovery.“My apologize, Lady Virginia… I could not do something to help you out.” Harold apologized. He has been staying close with his boss and never went away from Gerald.“It’s alright Harold. I will count on you to keep my husband safe.” Virginia smiled. She did not want the loyal bodyguard to feel bad with his current situation.Virg
Fred accepted Virginia request. He got a quarter of his total payment as a down payment. He told Virginia that he would send messages to Michelle and asked her to meet up in certain bar. There, Fred would pretend that he would apologize and wanted to change to be better for the sake of their further relationship. Fred confessed that he has once slept with Michelle. It was intentional but Michelle considered that as accident. After he managed to fool Michelle, he would trap her again and drag her to a love hotel. He would be recording Michelle’s fragile side as she was being humiliated and harassed by Fred.“What do you think about it?” Fred wanted to have Virginia’s opinion.Both of them were now together in a closed room where none of their companions stay with them. Both Fred and Virginia was not equipped with weapon. They were just trying to devise the plan together.Virginia found it very shocking. She never expected that the annoying girl was once being harassed by the guy who wa
Michelle was speechless and she could not do anything at that moment. Her body was weak and her mental state was broken. She thought that Fred would never betray her again because he has promised so. Michelle trusted that jerk but he ended up trapping her again. This time, Fred really did something that was very humiliating on her. It was the worst experience in her life. It gave her a new post-traumatic stress disorder.The mafia then took care of things in that isolated building. First they needed to gather up the corpses. They would be throwing the corpses to somewhere else. After that they treat Michelle and helped her to dress up and she was brought to a car. They returned back home to the mansion as soon as possible.Arrived in the mansion, Cedric welcomed his sister with his angry face. He wanted to scold Michelle for doing something reckless but it was not the best thing he needed to do at that time. Michelle needed mental support after things that happened to her.“I’m so gla
On the next day, Cedric told Michelle about his idea. Cedric told Michelle about his first reason regarding the mafia clan’s good name. The news about Michelle’s being molested by masked man has been know by some people including few capos. It was all because of the video shared by one of Fred’s friends. Cedric assured that he has taken down the videos from spreading but there might be few people knew about it. In order to clean up the mafia clan name, following the policies, Michelle should be exiled. Cedric did not even lie about his intention because he wanted to be the best leader. Therefore, Cedric requested Michelle to stay in the girl dormitory in country side.Michelle was feeling a bit down when her brother talked about the case yesterday. She really regretted what she did. For the worse thing, the nasty video about her has been watched by some people and it really made her so dirty and very ashamed. She did not agree with the idea to exile but when her brother said about sen
Virginia then decided to call her group. Arnold, Bernard and Carlos returned back to the mansion to attend their leader’s call. Virginia shared about her idea to make Vincent get hurt but not to kill him. Everyone knew that Vincent was clever. If they decided to make a mess with him without perfect plan, they might be the one in disadvantages. Challenging Vincent with gimmick and mental issue was not really a good option.“Do you guys have any idea how to send that guy to the hospital? I’m fine with the idea of breaking some of his bones or disable some parts of his body. But I don’t want him to die.” Virginia was asking for her members’ opinion.“Since he has tried to kill you by car accident, why don’t we do the same?” Carlos was the one giving his idea. “We can call it as karma!”“That sounds good. But, there is a high chance that he will die by car accident. Can we think about a less deadly thingy?” Virginia refused Carlos’ idea.“What about we try to trap him in this mansion? Lik
Lusiana and Miller was devising a plan to kill Vincent. However, after the couple decided to get out from the mansion, they were lack in human resource. They could only rely on Miller’s clan this time. They needed to make a perfect plan like how they murder Virginia. They wanted to create a natural accident again so that people would not suspect both Miller and Lusiana as the masterminds.“How can we make a car accident again? We have less budget than before and we are lacking power right now.” Miller was wondering.“Yeah, that might be true. I don’t think anybody here would be willing to sacrifice their life.” Lusiana realized that it might be difficult to create the similar case like how she planned about Virginia’s murder. “What about if we use that diver’s son?”“That boy who used to work in the stable? He is still too young. I don’t think he can be useful.” Miller refused the idea. “What about if we rent an assassin?”“We don’t have a lot of money to do that. Even though it sound
The mafia driver was still waiting until Vincent returned. It has been more than fifteen minutes and and yet Vincent has not coming back. That driver has been trying to look on the road and found out there were many nails. He took them out and kept in inside the car. Soon after that, another car arrived. It was the new car that was supposed to bring Vincent to the meeting.The new driver asked about Vincent’s where about. The first driver said that Vincent went through the bushes to approach someone needing help. The second driver then insisted that they should check it out. So, both of them went to deeper to the area where Vincent went in.“Oh my god!” A driver was shocked to know that Vincent was lying down on the ground with blood. “Come! We need to do first aid!”Both he driver then tried to do the first aid. They tried to look part of the body that was wounded and it was on Vincent’s stomach. They closed the wound with clothes and then brought Vincent to the car. They immediately
Virginia finally returned back to the mansion escorted by the two couple from the coastal village. Virginia requested to the couple not to tell people in the mansion the truth about Virginia disguising as a maid. Virginia wanted everyone to believe that she has been staying for a long time in the coastal village pretending that she lost her memories. Until lately, she started to regain her memories back thus decided to return back to the mansion.As soon as Virginia and the couple arrived in the gate of the mansion, the gatekeeper was frozen in surprise. He recognized Virginia’s appearance and did not expect that he could see Virginia in flesh. The only difference would be that she was now having a short hair.The gatekeeper asked Virginia and the couple to wait in the guest room and he immediately reported about Virginia’s return to Cedric. Cedric who was busy at that time, immediately stopped his work because he wanted to confirm that Virginia was really coming back or not. His hear
Virginia survived. The building soon exploded and killed both Miller and Vincent. It was so unfortunate that Cedric decided to sacrifice himself to save Virginia in the end. Virginia thought that she could work together with Cedric to rebuild the mafia clan. But her dream was ruined because there was nothing left in Gerald’s clan except Gerald himself and Harold now. Virginia was very sad, blaming herself in every steps she did. She did not really know what to do next. She was clueless and got lost.The police and firefighters then arrived to that place. They extinguished the big flame and tried to search inside if there were some survivors. The fire could be taken care of after an hour. They managed to retrieve some bodies inside that building. Unfortunately, those bodies were already lifeless with those burn marks.The news about that explosion and fire was known over the citizens in the city. The victims were identified and there were some names such as Cedric, Vincent, and Miller
Both Miller and Vincent paused as their nephew pointed at the flaw. Undoubtedly, they weren’t the perfect partners in crime. In fact, it was obvious that they had almost nothing in common other than their goal of taking over Gerald's mafia clan. Still oblivious to Cedric’s act of bringing conflict to their table, the two listened to him closely.“To be frank, I’m pretty sure Uncle Vincent is more worthy to be the successor than you, Uncle Miller,” Cedric said fraudulently.Vincent’s eyes lightened up in contrast to Miller who was still trying to comprehend what his nephew just told. In a huff, the latter protested, “Don’t you dare to patronize these experienced men, Cedric. You're just an immature brat who doesn't know anything about the mafia world.”“You’re wrong, Uncle.” smiled Cedric, which only fueled Miller’s confusion and anger. “Remember, you don’t share the same blood with my Dad. On the other hand, Uncle Vincent does.”Miller's rage began to build as he tried to defe
Cedric’s heart pounded louder than usual as his ears heard approaching footsteps from the first floor. He gulped his nervousness and took a deep breath, which would probably be his last. Accompanied by his group of armed men, the teenage mafia son reached for his own weapon of choice: Smith & Wesson .44 Caliber, gifted from Gerald for his eighteenth birthday last month. He peered from the wall and saw Virginia lead his uncles to come upstairs. Behind them, he saw tens of capos tailing, waiting for the mafia heir’s demise.The unlikely pair of stepmother and stepson exchanged glances, signaling the impending doom that would arrive any second now. Deciding that his time lurking in the shadows had done, Cedric stepped out into the light, revealing his presence to the essential figures in the mafia family’s history.“There you are, my dearest, one and only nephew,” Miller sneered upon noticing his nephew already greeted them with sharp yet less menacing eyes than his father’s.“I’ve
Cedric took a step forward, his charismatic flair in full display. "So, gentlemen, are we to believe that this orchestrated chaos is simply your way of getting our attention?"Vincent's laughter, grandiose and boisterous, filled the air. "You catch on quickly, young Cedric. But then again, intelligence seems to run in the family."Cedric's retort was swift and sardonic. "Indeed, it's hard to miss when one is surrounded by such eloquence."Meanwhile, Virginia's subtle movements caught the attention of Vincent and Miller's men, who instinctively shifted their positions to maintain a perimeter. Virginia's gaze remained steady, her voice a blend of charm and calculated elegance. "Gentlemen, are we to assume that this chaotic display is merely a façade to mask your intentions?"Miller's smile held an edge of satisfaction. "Astute, Virginia. You've always been a perceptive one."Cedric and Virginia's banter, seemingly lighthearted, masked the gravity of their intentions. They aime
Cedric and Virginia, an unlikely pair bound by circumstance, stood at the precipice of shock as they absorbed the news of Michelle's tragic demise. The threads of their lives, woven together by a shared love for the same man, now unraveled in the face of loss. Their hearts, heavy with grief, bore witness to a poignant truth — life's fragility could be shattered in the blink of an eye."Stepmother and stepson, united by grief," Cedric's words hung in the air, laced with a bitterness that mirrored the tragedy that had befallen them.Virginia's eyes, usually brimming with maternal warmth, glistened with unshed tears as she clasped Cedric's hand. In her touch, he found a solace that transcended their complex relationship. "Cedric, this loss cuts deep. We must remain steadfast for Gerald's sake."With a shared nod, they embarked on a journey to the hospital where Gerald's fate hung in the balance. The reason was clear — to ensure that the patriarch remained unharmed, a beacon of hope
In a storm of swirling emotions, Cedric materialized like a shadowy savior, his heart pounding like a drum in his chest. His stepmother, Virginia, stood her ground, a tempest of resolve in her eyes as she faced off against Vincent, his uncle, who oozed malevolence like a venomous serpent."Ah, Cedric, the lost little lamb makes an entrance," Vincent smirked, his voice dripping with condescension. "But it's too late. Virginia's fate is sealed."Cedric's eyes locked onto Virginia's, a silent promise passing between them. It was as if a fog had lifted from his perception, revealing the truth he had been so reluctant to acknowledge. He remembered the whispered conversations, the cryptic warnings Virginia had tried to convey, and the pieces of the puzzle fell into place with jarring clarity.In the chaos of this confrontation, Cedric's mind became a theater of revelations. His uncles and aunt, the very faces he had grown up believing were benevolent, now stood before him as architect
Miller and Cedric decided to distribute a new task for each other. Miller would be in charge to kill Cedric while Vincent would be targeting Virginia. At first, Miller requested that Vincent was the one who should kill Cedric but Vincent refused because he did not want to be the one killing his brother’s son. Miller did not argue back and he accepted his part to kill Cedric instead. Both of them should kill them as soon as possible before Gerald woke up or the mafia tried to catch them.They parted their ways and began their hunting.Miller called his trusted troops from his original mafia clan. He paid them good with the saved money he had. He commanded them to come with him and attacked Cedric when he went out from the mansion. Miller has calculated everything before he started to attack Cedric. Cedric might have more troops than Miller’s but to overcome that unbalanced numbers, Miller has bought a deadly machine gun with lots of bullets. He was going to use it and went all out.The
Cedric wanted to report the recording to the consiglieres. He wanted them to know about the past incident that happened to Helena. He wanted them to consider about the proper punishment for both of his uncles. But it would take some times to decide the final decision because Gerald must be the one to decide what kind punishment should be applied to the people who killed his wife. Not only once, but they were trying to kill his wife for the second time too. While waiting until Gerald woke up, Cedric hoped that those two dangerous killers to be put in jail.Unfortunately, the consiglieres were to busy with their attempt to save the capos right now. Cedric kept on getting reports that the capos were caught by the police. Sooner or later, the mafia clan would face its doom and meet its end. Cedric was confused and he did not really know how to take care of it.Within his confusion and worries, he started to remember again about what Miller and Vincent said about Virginia. They accused tha
The consiglieres have sent private messages to Arnold, Bernard, and Carlos. All of them were invited with a fake purpose regarding the raise of their salary. The consiglieres stated that they did not only pick those three people, but they also invited some other employees in the mansion to meet up with them in private. That would be enough to convince them. The three people did not seem to aware that they were actually being lured in an interrogation.Virginia did not know about this because the consiglieres were trying to do the interrogation secretly. The three men did not tell Virginia about it either.The burial ceremony was held on the next day. All the family members, the consiglieres and also some mafia men were attending the event. There was only one person who did not come at that time. It was Vincent.The absence of Vincent made Miller well convinced about Vincent being the root of the problems that fell upon him. Even though the consiglieres have explained not to trust the
