ANGELO smiled at everyone inside the mansion. He just got discharged this afternoon, he wasn’t even quite sure of the reason why he was hospitalized in the first place. He was just told that drunk men beat him up so he ended up getting hospitalized.

“Welcome home, Hermano. How are you feeling?” his younger sister, Autumn, asked him before giving him a kiss on his cheek.

“Estoy muy bien, mi hermanita,” Angelo cheerfully answered. “How about you?”

Autumn sat down on the sofa across from him and smiled. “I’m fine as well, Hermano.”

Angelo smiled and looked around the mansion. “¿Dónde está Emerald, por cierto?” Where is Emerald, by the way?

“Ahh… Hermana’s still busy with her work.” Autumn gave him a soft smile. “Will you be okay if you stay here for a while? Dad said you don't have to work in the meantime for a faster recovery.”

He nodded. “Dad told me about it this morning. He has been keeping an eye on me since I was in the hospital.”

Angelo felt happiness towards his family. He was a

    ALL night his eyes were opened. He was really bothered that Angelo was in the club so Charles just locked himself in his room in the penthouse.But before he finally went upstairs, Wynter left before him because she said that there was still some stuff to take care of in the Philippines.Narae, on the other hand, went seducing men and partying because she didn't want to get envious of Anurak.Speaking of that guy, he got laid last night, Charles was sure about that. It looks like the person they were talking to was very drunk last night and then decided to flirt with Anurak. Yep, pretty sure they spent their night screaming each other's names.As for that bartender, he didn't go home to the Philippines together with Wynter. According to Narae, Angelo wanted to spend three days in this country before he goes back to his cell.Charles was no longer surprised at the term Angelo used. After months of staying in your own house, without going outside because… well, because they said so, no

    THEIR trip to the mall ended up being quite interesting — for Angelo — but annoying — for the three of them.It began with Narae meeting a guy she couldn't remember but claims to have a steamy night with her. She was fine with it when the man introduced himself, which quickly turned to a question, “Would you wanna be at my place tonight?”Narae refuses since she sticks to the “One night stand remains a one-time” policy, but then got easily pissed when the man gave her a business card and told her to call him if she wanna do ‘it’ again. “Can’t they understand the term one-night stand? It means it cannot be repeated! Never!” Narae furiously pointed out when the guy finally left them.Charles actually got shocked when Narae got super irritated with that. I mean Narae is a happy person, even when talking about these, it's normal for her to laugh at men like that, or she would just shrug it off. Then why the hell is she making this a big deal?! Charles was so confused but he remained sil

    “HERE’S the list of your new missions,” Charles's father told him as soon as he entered the office. He has been back in New Jersey since last Sunday. To the point that their plan to celebrate Wynter's birthday could not go ahead because they were both busy. Caleb called him due to an emergency. There is a lot of chaos going on on the two continents guarded by the Williams Mafia, North and South America. Actually, it was more favorable for Charles to be busy like this because until now he had no news of what had happened to Angelo and Wynter since the two came home.Only yesterday, he also heard that someone had planned to harm Anurak and Narae in recent weeks, fortunately, the opponents did not pass their guards.“Be sure to make them all pay. As much as possible, there will be no killings. Just capture them and the government will handle the penalties.” His father looked at him intently. “I’m entrusting this mission to you, Dominique. Don't fail me a second time.”“Yes, Dad.” Charl

    CHARLES was obviously bothered throughout the whole trip with Wynter to the mission. He had been like this for the past few days. He's always in a daze, he's always on cloud nine. And that's all because of that one call from Gab.“You know… if you're not up for this, I'll just drop you off at the nearest cafe then eat and relax and stuff like that,” said Wynter as she read the magazine next to him.They're riding a limousine on the way to a gala. That's where their second target was said to be. Well, that second target wasn't there to party but to blow up the party.Both Wynter and him were wearing evening wear and are both tasked to represent their family so they have to look good. “I’m fine, Wyn—”“Oh cut the sh*t off.” The woman finished reading and then returned the magazine to its container. “We both know you’re not fine.”Charles let out a sigh. “It’s your brother.”“Pretty obvious.”He looked at his friend seriously. “Did you know that he called me?”Wynter wasn’t surprised at

    ANOTHER week has passed and their third mission was also a success. At the same time, Charles' team as well as Wynter arranged their belongings for their return to the Philippines to pick up their last mission and take him to Thailand, specifically to LUST DAWN.They’re just the same as Wynter’s justification. They will be more comfortable if they are also with their two other friends. Plus LUST DAWN may not look like it, but it's one of the most secure places in the world. Since Narae and Charles combined their talents when it comes to technical stuff, they made an indestructible security system.Angelo, Narae, and Anurak's security will be even better because Charles is with his entire team. Light would disguise as the club’s DJ, Kathleya as a bartender, Dian as a bouncer, and Khrysgen as a waiter.Also, for the first time, they’ll break one of the DAWN rules. For the sake of Angelo’s safety, he'll be staying at the DAWN’s penthouse. (But where will he sleep?) Narae immediately ask

    WHEN Charles entered the Vazquez household, warm hugs welcomed him and Wynter. Wyn's father even caught up with them before he attended an emergency meeting.All three of them even had a small talk about their last mission in the meantime. Once they finish their final mission, they will have a break time before being given another set of missions."Whatever you do, make Angelo's safety your priority," said Mr. Vazquez.“May I ask why is he our mission?” Charles could not restrain his own mouth.The man glanced at his daughter before he looked at him. “Angelo’s presence made the enemies’ blood boil in excitement. Ever since they knew something about Angelo’s little to no knowledge about the Mafia, he seemed like an easy target. The enemies couldn’t touch both Wynter and Autumn since they knew how capable my daughters are when it comes to blowing up their heads, but Angelo… He doesn’t know a thing about it.”Charles was oblivious to it but both Wynter and her dad noticed his sudden rage

    STARING at the ceiling, waiting for who knows what, Angelo suddenly heard a knock on his door. He was pretty sure that everyone else was asleep — well, except for his next-door roomie.Angelo was stunned when he suddenly remembered something. Roomie? Why does it feel like the thought of having a roommate hits him differently? It’s not like he ever had a roommate his entire life.He was startled when there was another knock followed by the ringing of his phone. He stared at his phone for a long time, wondering if he would answer it. After the second ring, he then picked it up. "Nick?"The one on the other line sighed. Why does he react that way? (Gab, open the door.) the man commanded after he recovered.He suddenly looked at the door that had lost its knock. “You said we’ll have a short chat. Can't we just talk on the phone— ”(I lied. It’s not just a chat.)He was immediately nervous at what the young man said. He has to admit it, when they're talking on the phone, there's a little t

    ANGELO has been glaring at Charles for quite some time now. Even Wynter was curious about what was going on between them. Until they boarded the plane to Thailand, and when he met Wynter's other friends, he was still glaring at the young man.“I swear, Nick. One more irritating expression from you and I’ll kick you out of this plane,” he said when he felt the young man beside him. He still wasn’t looking at him, pissed that he might see him still grinning. The plane was already in the air so it was okay to stand up and take a walk.When Charles heard his last sentence, he raised his hands as a sign of surrender before smiling at him. “I just wanna sit beside you. You know, have a little chat.”His eyes immediately rolled. “The last time you said you wanted to have a chat, ended up in me lying on my bed—”Charles leaned to his ear and sexily whispered, “—naked and heaving under me.”Angelo couldn't help but feel the heat on his cheek at what the young man said. "Shut the hell up, Nick.

  • Falling for the Mafia Boss   Epilogue

    THE day after their wedding, both Angelo and Charles flew to America. They have already talked about this matter before they got married, and finally, they can do it without any other problems.Charles was even more in a hurry when he told him that the house he had bought from a real estate agent he knew was finished. The house had three bedrooms, one for the masters, the other was a guest room, and the final room was for their daughter.“The documents are all set according to Light,” Charles, who was busy driving, informed him.Angelo smiled as he stared at their wedding ring. “After marriage, now we'll finally be a complete family.” He looked at his husband. “It’s raining blessings, don't you think?”Charles glanced at him before he focused on the road. “I’m happy that you're happy.” “Te amo, mi Nick."“I love you too, my Gab.”In a few moments, they arrived at the adoption center. They entered the facility together and a little girl came running in their direction and immediately

    HAVING the thought of asking Angelo for marriage and actually doing it are definitely two different things. Charles has been staring at the computer for hours now, trying to find articles and videos about wedding proposals. He wanted to ask Anurak but the guy is busy with his family. Wynter is currently with her boyfriend who is in the Philippines.Narae suddenly entered his room. “You know, if you want to propose, just propose as simple as you want. The very question "Will you be my partner for the rest of my life?" is only the most important.”Charles sighed before closing the tabs connected to his proposal. He then turned his chair to face Narae. “How’s your plan for the sixth anniversary?”The girl threw herself on his bed. “I haven't thought of a theme yet. We already did our common red and black last year. White and black for our third anniv. Black and gold for the second. And plain black for our first.” She turned to him. "Oppa, help." She even pouted, making Charles sigh.“Th

    “WHERE did Dad say they took them?” Charles asked on the other line.(Well, some of the adults are still in the same hospital, some already got discharged and had a life of their own. As for the kids, they were transferred to a facility. An adoption center, just near the Japanese restaurant we used to like.)“Okay, got it. Thanks, Light.”(That's not for free. Speaking of Japanese restaurants, how about asking me on a date—)He ended the call with his friend. Light and his nonsense. He just shook his head and then turned his full attention to the road.After a couple of minutes — thank God there was no traffic — Charles parked his car in front of the adoption center.Since that place was closer, it was the first place he visited. The hospital will be the next one.It has been years since he last paid them a visit. Charles then felt that he was greatly lacking in these people.One of his previous missions was the case of a well-known government official that was involved in human traff

    ANGELO deeply sighed a couple of times as he looked out of the window of the plane. He saw the news about the bombing of his sister's wedding, he called for days, but nobody picked up the phone except Narae and Anurak who were thankfully not present at the scene.Angelo already has an idea about who blew up his sister's wedding. For a year, he learned all the lessons he could learn about the life of his father and sister. He also learned how to use a gun and how to fight physically.His father honed his mental and physical skills for him to safely enter that world. His lessons are still not done and were supposed to continue for another year in the USA, but the bodyguards did not stop him when he said he was going home because he was worried about his family's condition.The news showed that his stepmother and Autumn were at the wedding, so he was even more worried. But the person who occupies the most space in his mind was his sister's groom.“Please secure your seatbelts for when we

    TIME flew fast. A year has already passed, and everyone is busy. Cameras kept flashing from left to right. Reporters are outside the church, and they are noisy as hell. Everyone has smiles on their lips except for the groom.Charles looked like a living zombie as he stood there and got clothed by three or four assistants. Someone puts make-up on his face and others put on his clothes. He was frowning but he has already given up on having an escape plan months ago. He could do nothing but follow his father's wishes.“What’s up, groom?” Light teasingly smiled at him as he entered his room.They’re currently in a hotel getting ready for the wedding. He no longer had to ask what was going on at the church they were getting married to because it was in the news a few hours ago.Charles is irritated because his marriage to Wynter seems like a big deal that the whole world needs to know. Maybe if I was marrying Gab, I would’ve felt the opposite of irritated. Charles just shook his head. To t

    NARAE and Anurak both fell on the sofa in the living room of DAWN's penthouse. They were both stunned by the absence and sighed minute by minute. They both felt drained after a load of trials to make Wynter and Charles talk to each other."Can you think of anything else?" Anurak asked his cousin even though he was still staring at the turned-off television."Gone. My brain is very dry, Oppa,” was her lifeless answer. They sighed once again.It has been two months since those two’s soon-to-be wedding was announced in public, and it has been two months since Wynter and Charles talked to each other. Both of them act as if they do not exist in each other's worlds.Last month, Wynter flew back to the Philippines and worked her ass off to keep herself busy. Charles, on the other hand, stayed in Thailand but separated from them and did not live in the penthouse.That is why Anurak and Narae are so tired that they fly to the Philippines and back to Thailand just to make sure of the situation

    “WHAT the fvck was that?!” Charles shouted at his best friend who had just entered their penthouse. Wynter didn’t even flinch at the loudness of his voice and just blankly stared at him. Charles continued to lash out at her. “Did your dad tell you about this?! I thought you and dad had a conversation?! What nonsense is this?! I never knew he couldn’t keep to his words!”Charles looked at the dumb Angelo. Once again his blood boiled. When I thought that everything was fine, this freaking motherfvcking problem happened! He was mad as hell that he planned to confront his dad personally.Charles tried to call his parents thousands of times but they won’t pick-fvcking-up! When he heard the news, his eyes automatically flew to the man beside him, and his heart broke when he saw his lifeless eyes. Fvck this fvcking life!“Dom, calm down—”“What do you mean calm down?!” Charles ’voice filled up the place. “Who is calm in this situation, Wynter?! My father just fvcking announced to the whole w

    ANGELO woke up smiling and his world seemed colorful. Maybe it was his dream, or the memory of what happened last night, he couldn't quite decide which. All he knows is that he's happy, and his Nick has something to do with it.He left the room when he saw that it was bright outside. He planned to cook something for breakfast when he smelled something delicious coming from the penthouse's kitchen. He immediately went there and saw Anurak cooking."Sawatdee, P'Angelo."He immediately smiled at the guy. "Buenos dias, Anurak."He handed him an apron and then went back to cooking. "Good thing you're awake. I heard from Wynter that you can cook. Mind giving me a hand?"He smiled and looked at the food being cooked and then looked back at the young man. "Nah. What do you want me to do?"They talked for about half an hour about what breakfast they would cook for everyone. Exactly when they finished serving, Narae entered the dining room."What's up, beautiful people?" The lady greeted them a

    CHARLES woke up feeling thirsty in the middle of the night. So he left his bed and went out of his room only to stop halfway. He also saw that the man who was about to leave Wynter's room got stunned. Both Angelo and Charles stared at each other for a minute, trying to feel each other’s next move, but the former was the first one to let go of their gaze and walked toward the kitchen.And because Charles also planned to drink water, he walked slowly behind him. He was just staring at the guy’s back as they walked to the kitchen. No one was talking and trying to think of what the others were planning to do next.Angelo was the first to take a bottle of water from the refrigerator, and when Charles thought he was going to leave immediately, the man handed him a bottle of water. He silently accepted it and drank the whole bottle. Angelo was still not leaving the kitchen so Charles didn’t leave as well.They both seem to be unaware that they are waiting for the next thing to do or say. Th
