"Where the fuck is Caesar?!" Ivan demanded impatiently as he stood a good distance from Jasper. Jasper has reached long before Ivan has arrived. "Master is yet to arrive." Jasper replied vaguely, fueling Ivan a he groaned with his clenched fists. "I know that you dimwit, so I asked you where the fuck is your fucking master!!" he shouted to make his message clear because Jasper was acting ignorant the whole time. Ivan just wants his nephew back safe and sound, though he has a hunch that maybe his nephew is in that car Jasper has driven here. If it were true, he could just raid the car and retrieve his nephew, but he shouldn't. His nephew is asthmatic, and he can't endanger his health. The beeping of a car was heard catching their attention from afar as it drove its way closer. They both watched as the car pulled up to the curb. From the driver's seat, a man in black and white suit stepped out, as he jogged his way around the car to the passenger side, opening its door. Caesar step
"I don't w-want to stay h-here." She whispered with her head lowered and tears streaming down her face. Marcus felt his heart ache seeing her in distress, but he was also scared. He gently reached out closing the distance between them as he gently placed his hand on her shoulders and muttered, "I don't want to lose you." "I love you Lailah." Lailah snapped at Marcus hearing his confession. She did not expect Marcus to have feelings for her. Lailah felt her heart stop as she stared at his silver orbs filled with emotion she has always desired. She lowered her head, speechless to respond even though she loves him too. She loves him, so why can't she say it back? She felt as if someone or something was grasping her throat restarining her to respond anything. "Just truts me and bear for a while hmm? I promise to get you out of here." Marcus whispered his tone held promise and Lailah believes his words. "Master, are you going to inform Mr. Zhan about the goods?" Jasper asked, glancin
"Totya, I did not mean to rape her." Caesar confessed; remorse and guilt were felt in his low tone, his head hung low in shame and regret. Jessica's heart sank at his words, unable to comprehend the gravity of what he had just revealed. She struggled to find the right words to respond; her mind was filled with a whirlwind of emotions. "W-what do you mean?" Jessica asked, her tone showed how surprised she was to hear his confessions. She marched to him and clenched his arms tightly, shaking his body to make him look at her. "Answer me!" she demanded. Caesar looked at Jessica. The authoritative and dominant aura that he usually exuded seemed to fade away in that moment. He looked conflicted and guilty as he took a shaky breath, his form nervous to speak out. If it were any other day, Caesar would be his usual powerful self, even in front of Jessica, but the woman who is in front of him right now is not Jessica, the head maid. But a mother looking at her son. A woman, who has taken c
"Totya, you know how important Marcus is to me. He is the only family I have and I don't know what I will do if anything were to happen to him. I don't want to lose another family that I care alot." He stated looking at Jessica with a firm look. "I'll do whatever it takes, as long as he is safe." he informed. Jessica understands that Marcus means alot to him, but Caesar should also understand the method he is using is wrong. It will only hurt everyone involved. "Caesar, Marcus still held grudge what happened 14 years ago. Don't start anything that will make you to completely lose him." She suggested with worriedness fo rthe two. One was stubborn and the other doesn't listen, now she can only pray for someone or some kind of miracle to happen so the two brothers get back together. "Totya, you know what happened and why it happened 14 years ago. I did not have any choice." Caesar sighed defeatedly as the dark memories played in his mind. That night was the worst and it still haunts
Caesar stared into the air, lost in thought. "Simon is being secretive the more he gets older. I guess I have to attend it myself to check out what's going on.""What about the Naga?" He asked about the drugs they successfully retrieved from Ivan the other day."We've checked half of it, and there's no problem so far. The other half is left. It will be done by tomorrow." Jasper informed receiving a nod from his boss."Shall I arrange a date for you to attend the event?" Jasper inquired, in case he doesn't have to arrange one if Caesar already has one in mind."That won't be needed. I have someone in mind." Caesar replied as he thought of the person. With the party being secret and huge, Caesar has a hunch that maybe those anonyomus who sent him the message would attend. If they do, this is the perfect opportunity to show them that Lailah has no connection with Marcus.But then it will prove the rumors and the Casa Nostra that he has a woman. A frustrated sigh slipped from him at the c
Lailah POV“ Yes Aunt Mavis, don’t worry I am on my way to a convenient store to buy something to eat and then I will go to the shop and go to sleep.” I told Aun Mavis who was at the after-party of Peral’s wedding right now to observe the decorations in case something was out of place. Last week we got a reservation to decorate a wedding and it was one of Aunt Mavis’ customer's daughter. The order was big so we have been busy doing all the tasks of making bouquets and garlands and all the other things for the wedding decorations. Aunt Mavis was over the moon. “Yes… I will directly go home after going to the convenience store” I assured her as I reached the CVS which was not very far from our two story building as I ended the call. I wanted to attend the after party but I suddenly felt sick so I left right after the wedding. I stare at my call log on the phone, the third contact down shaded in red as the number 7 in the bracket was near it, showing how many times I have called him
“Please l-let me go!” The girl begged with fear in her tone and eyes as I gripped her hair together so she could know who is having an upper hand here. I was handling the traitor who leaked information of my gang just for some petty hundred thousands. That bastard. Did I not pay him enough? And worst of all he sold it to Ivan Salvator. The Whole Cosa Nostra knows how bad our enmity is. It has been running since the era of our great grandfather. Ivan’s great grandfather cheated on mine and it created a rift between the two families. Our families were once called The Great Allies, by how much strong influence we have around the world but his descendants kept on cheating with ours. I think it’s in their blood to cheat everyone other than themselves. In the midst of handling the traitor this girl saw everything. And now we have to dispose of her, we can’t leave any witnesses alive, blame it on her fate to encounter us in the middle of the night. Naturally I thought she was some spy
A sigh slipped from Caesar’s lips as he came out of the shower while drying his wet locks with a towel in his hand. His body, even though covered by the robe, is obvious that he takes great care of his physique. His room’s door suddenly was knocked and Caesar glanced at the white circular clock nailed above the door that reads 1 in the morning. “Come in” he replied and a worried Jessica appeared on the opened door.“Master.. The girl… I was in her room to check on her but then she suddenly started to sweat really bad.” Jessica reported while fiddling with her fingers as worriedness were visible on her.The two hurriedly descended down the stairs as Jessica led the way to the room Lailah was kept in.Upon entering the room, loud panting and groaning was heard as Caesar walked nearer, noticing Lailah’s condition.“H-hot I-I am feeling hot..p-please help..-” she begged with a quivering voice while crying in pain she never was. Her vision was blurry by the tears and her mind was not thi

" The whole Cosa Nostra knows about her. She dragged herself into this deep shit on her own." Caesar said nonchalantly as his cold gaze bore into his little brother's eyes." What the fuck do you mean!" Marcus demanded an explanation because hell what Caesar is saying does not make any sense!. How could the Whole Cosa Nostra know about Lailah's existence?!As far as he remebered, Lailah said she's been locked up in the house for 2 days! That meant she had no chance of going out and being spotted by others. The place, Caesar lives is filled with people he knows. Busniess-partners, Celebrities, Politicians. You gotta have atleast 3 successfull busniess to even be afford living in this place. This was the place for riches--- Basilius Street ." Hey now, don't assume I was behind that. Why would I want to give myself more trouble?" Caesar innocently said, his eyebrows raised as he spoke as if he was the victim while Marcus has a scowl on his face and his frown showed he doesn't believe wh
Sweat beads formed on her forehead as she clenched the bed sheet, her heart suffocating from fear, and she felt herself blocked from getting any oxygen into her system. All she could see was black, and she felt like she was trapped in it. She couldn't shake off the feeling of suffocation and darkness. She was trying to let her voice out, but she felt her throat being choked. "Lailah!! Lailah wake up!!!" The vigorous shaking and her name being called out made her snap and open her eyes, terror swimming in them. She gasped for air, her body trembling as she realized it was just a nightmare. The room slowly came into focus, and she found herself on the bed as Marcus came into her view. She abruptly sat up, scooting back away from him as her body still trembled from the remnants of the nightmare. Marcus reached out a hand, concern etched on his face, as he tried to calm her down. "Hey, hey, it's okay. It's me.. your okay" Lailah's racing heart began to calm as she recognized his voic
Marcus snapped his eyes opened hearing the shuffle beside him as Jessica jolted in surprise seeing him wide awake, "Jesus Christ!" She heaved a breather, her hand on her chest as she tried to calm her racing heart," You scared me there!" Jessica placed the mini tray consisting of a glass of water with two tablets on a mini plate on the lamp table beside the bed. "Shall I bring the breakfast over to you? Or will you b ecoming down?" Jessica asked, a warm smile on her face while her eyes showed hurt and saddness. "How is she?" Marcus asked instantly with worried lacing in his tone, eager to know about Lailah's well-being than wanting breakfast or any other shit. He wants to meet and check on her but felt his body still recovering from the effect of the bandaid. It won't be taking long though. Jessica let out a sigh, remembering Lailah. She pitied the girl for having to deal with such a difficult situation. She wanted to talk with Caesar and comment on his animal-like behavior, but
“Marcus—shall I show you how good she is on bed?” Lailah felt her senses numb and her heart stopped functioning at his words as her eyes widened in terror. His veins popped prominent on his neck by the amount of force Marcus was trying to let his voice out wanting Caesar to stop whatever shit is going on in his sick mind. Marcus was desperate to do something but he couldn’t. He couldn’t understand why Caesar is doing this! He couldn’t believe he used the band aid on him! “N-no pleas—“ Lailah felt her words stuck in her throat as Caesar turned her into a kiss, shutting her mouth. Lailah's body froze as Caesar's lips forcefully pressed against hers, stealing her voice and leaving her feeling violated. Lailah began to struggle to break free from his hold but his grip on her was making it impossible for her to do anything against his strength, as only a desperate whimper was heard from her. The fear in her grew as she realzied there's no escape and with Marcus paralyzed, no one will b
