Now, this chapter will be focused on how Reese and Daisy fell in love with each other. It will be set around the time when Thalia hasn't been found by Luciano yet.

***

Reese sighs as he hears someone enter the room. He doesn't even need to turn around to guess who it is. The small yet sharp footsteps coming from the door are enough to tell him that it is Daisy who graced him with her presence.

He turns the swivel chair around, facing the woman. He bites his lip as he looks at her frantic figure. No matter how much he tries to deny it, he really can't—this woman is beautiful.

"You still don't know where she is?" she asks.

And utterly annoying. She just knows how to push his buttons.

He sighs and closes his eyes, defeatedly shaking his head.

"How many times do I have to tell you? I haven't found a lead yet! I've searched through all the CCTVs around the area, but I still don't know where she went. You know how my sister is—she's very tenacious."

Daisy clicks her tongue and

    The last special chapter will be about our lovely main characters! Luciano brings home a new addition to the family, and let's just say he kind of regrets it. *** "Shh," Luciano exclaims as the creature beneath his feet continues whimpering. He sighs in frustration and massages the bridge of his nose. It hasn't even been an hour since the creature came home, and he already regrets it. Luciano has never been fond of dogs. Let's just say he's never really been fond of animals ever since he was young. After being attacked by a pack of squirrels when he was innocently playing in the grass when he was younger, he had never been the same. It also fueled his indifference (and slight fear) of these non-human creatures. However, after hearing his precious daughter continuously say that all she wants is a dog for her sixth birthday, he had no choice but to cave in. I mean, who could really blame him? With her adorable smile and puppy eyes, who would be able to say no? The two of t

    Thalia Disappointment. From the moment I was born, I was already a disappointment. Coming from a family of guards, we are never expected to break the tradition. My grandfather, the past consigliere, and my father, the current head of the caporegime, are influential people in the mafia world. Our family, the Ricci’s, swore to devote the entire bloodline to one family—the Romanos. The Romano family is infamous in the mafia scene. The leaders of the pack. The most lethal clan there is. And we, the Ricci’s, worked alongside them for years and years, protecting them from the countless threats they face every single day. Produce the best protectors—that’s what my family always wanted. That’s why they had always preferred sons over daughters, and they had damn good luck in that department too. My grandmother gave birth to five sons, and all of them became part of the caporegime, with my father being the highest-ranked. Much to their delight, those sons gave birth to only sons too. My

    Luciano “Any last words?”I played with the blade in my hand, the shiny yet deadly metal glistening in the dark room. Only a single dim light bulb illuminated the room, hiding its dark secrets from the naked eye. Christopher lifted his head up and looked at me with pleading eyes. “Luciano, please. It—It wasn’t my intention. I was only forced to do this since I needed money. Y—you know how I’m trying to pay my debt up until this day.” I stood back and watched as his pathetic face twisted into a painful grimace. His body was covered in bruises and wounds, and his lips were already white as paper.“Is that so?” I said in an indifferent voice, circling around his frail body like a predator hunting its prey. He weakly nodded his head. “They found out about the illegal properties that I sold. Now, the government has claimed them, and the clientele is demanding that I refund the money.”A dark chuckle escaped my lips. Of course. How could I ever forget the time when he claimed the land a

    Thalia“This is it,” I whispered to myself as I looked at the large house right in front of me. I let out a sigh as I let my eyes wander through the cold exterior of the place. Everything about it just seemed dark. However, I need to get used to it—this house will technically be my home from now on. “Best of luck, Miss Thalia,” I heard Ben, our chauffeur, call out from the car. I turned around with a small smile on my face. “Thanks, Ben. Take care of Rosie for me.”He nodded his head. “I will, Miss Thalia. That little retriever is already making her way inside my heart. I’ll send you some updates from time to time.”“That’d be much appreciated.” Although, I don’t even know if I can use my phone that often from here on out. “Do you need help with your luggage?” he asked. I shook my head as I fixed the position of the duffel bag on my shoulder. “No need, Ben. I’ll take it from here.”I didn’t bring much stuff anyway since I knew that we wouldn’t have the luxury of having our own sp

    My eyes widened in surprise, and I quickly covered her mouth while looking around the place. I sighed in relief when I saw that nobody heard what she said. “Don’t scream it to the world!” I whisper-yelled. I removed my hands from her mouth and saw that she was still shocked beyond her wits. I sighed and snapped my fingers in front of her face. She shook her head and pointed at me with wide eyes. “You’re a Ricci?” she said in a much softer voice.“Yes,” I confirmed. She slapped her hand over her mouth. I pointed at her accusingly. “You better not tell this to anyone or else. You’re the only one who knows about my real identity in this place, so I’ll know when the information leaks out.”She raised her hands up in surrender. “Why did you tell it to me when you don’t want anyone finding out then?” she questioned. I sighed and massaged the bridge of my nose. “It just slipped out, okay?” I snapped. “I didn’t mean to tell you anything today, but I guess I got carried away by our convers

    Thalia “Are you just going to stand there or what?” I snapped, crossing my arms in front of my chest. I looked at the very attractive man in front of me and kept my head held high. I followed him out of the gym since he told me so, but now he’s keeping silent. He looked at me with raised eyebrows, his eyes showing a suspicious glint—one of surprise, or maybe even amusement. I sighed and uncrossed my arms, impatiently running my fingers through my hair. “Look,” I took a step towards him. “If you’re going to keep on staring at me without saying anything, then I’m going back to the gym to train. Your taking up the time that I could use for lifting weights.”I was about to walk away from him when he held onto my wrist. I gasped as I felt his warm and rough hands against my skin. However, I didn’t let him know that I felt flustered, and instead swallowed my feelings down.“What? Let go of me!” I tried breaking away from his grip, but he only persisted on. He tilted his head to the side

    Luciano I stopped in my tracks when I saw the interesting woman I had met a few weeks ago. The apprentices seemed to be having an intelligence test of some sort. Consequently, I was noticed by the trainers who were proctoring the current test. “Don Luciano,” they bowed their heads when they noticed my presence. “Insorgere,” I said, making them raise their heads. “Shall I introduce you to the new apprentices, Don?” Andrea asked, about to call for their attention. “No,” I shook my head. “It’s alright. I just came to visit.” She nodded her head and took a step back. “Apprentice#16, first!” Reese shouted, capturing my attention. I raised one of my eyebrows. Someone’s already finished with the test? Apprentices usually take a much longer time during this test because of its high caliber. The apprentices looked her way, and I, too, couldn’t help but observe the oblivious little woman. She stood up from her seat and calmly walked to the back of the training grounds. There was a small

    Thalia“Once again, congratulations to the newly-graduated apprentices. You came from a group of 30, and now, your numbers have been cut by more than half. After much struggle, you made it to the end. You can finally exercise your privilege as guards.”We formally clapped our hands, signaling the end of the ceremony. After three months of suffering, we had finally come to the end.A lot of our fellow apprentices were eliminated along the way, but fortunately, I was able to make it to the final 12.I looked around the place with a small smile on my face. The graduation was upheld in our training grounds, and as much as I would hate to admit it, I feel like I’m going to miss this place—rather, the memories that I’ve made along the way.My smile quickly fell, however, when I realized that I was surrounded by multiple families celebrating their children’s graduations. Proud smiles and excited chatters filled the hall—all of them celebrating another milestone in their lives.My eyes straye

    Hi again! Welcome to the special chapters! These are just a collection of fun stories from our beloved characters. I hope you like them! All of the special chapters will be written in the third person's point of view, so I won't be repeating that all throughout the chapters. Cheers! ****** "Umm, so what do we do now?" Emiliano asked as he looked at the tiny and adorable human looking up at him with wide eyes. Warren chuckled nervously as he patted his back's mate. The two of them decided to take Lucille on their trip to Amsterdam, and now, they were kind of regretting their decision. Not because they don't want to be with their granddaughter (they've actually been pestering their respective children to let their daughter go with them on a trip), but because they didn't know what to do with a literal child. It has been more than twenty years since they've interacted with children, and frankly, they've never really been good with it. As they aged throughout the years, the two of t

    Luciano "Do you like your new room?" I nervously asked as I showed Lucille the interior of her new room. I knew that I'd done my very best to place the items she loved most in this room, but it still made me nervous. That feeling quickly melted away, though, when she looked around with wide eyes. "Duckies!" she exclaimed as she observed the painted ducks on her wall. "And so many toys! Did you do this, daddy?" I smiled and kneeled down to her level. "Do you like it, my princess?" She enthusiastically nodded her head. "I love it! I can play in here all day!" I chuckled and ruffled her hair in amusement. "Tomorrow, my princess. It's already late. You have to go to sleep now." She pouted and shook her head. "But I want to play," she insisted. However, not even a second later, she already started to yawn. "Tomorrow, okay? I'll play with you all day long!" "Really?" she asked with tired eyes. I nodded my head. "I promise. But for now, you need to take a rest, my princess. Yo

    Thalia“Luciano,” I moaned into his mouth, placing my hands on his chest to gently push him away. “We haven’t even placed any sheets on the bed yet.”He ignored my comment and continued placing open-mouth kisses on my neck.I don’t know what happened and how the events escalated, but a few moments ago, we were watching Twilight in the home theater when Edward’s and Bella’s kissing scene played on the screen. I couldn’t deny that I was feeling turned on by the sight of two attractive people kissing, but I had already watched that particular scene plenty of times, so it wasn’t such a big deal. Luciano, however, seemed to have taken quite a liking to the scene despite declaring hatred for the movie itself. So, before I even knew it, we were already imitating the scene on the TV and making our way to the master bedroom. I felt the rough mattress against my skin and felt that it would be such a waste to ruin a completely new mattress, so I harshly pushed him away.“What’s wrong?” he aske

    Two months laterThalia“Are we finally getting new neighbors?” I asked, looking outside the window while sipping my morning tea. I was having a peaceful breakfast when I heard some type of commotion just right outside. I peeked out at the window and saw moving trucks transporting furniture to the newly-built house just right across the street.It had already been two months ever since Luciano had left the mafia, and we were now currently living with Grandpa Ferri at Amari Coast.The two of us talked a lot about what we wanted to do—whether we wanted to stay here or move to another location. I was already too attached to this place, and I’m glad Luciano felt the same way. Lucille, too, voiced out that this is her favorite place in the world. So ultimately, we decided we wanted to stay here.Lucille was currently out on a trip with her grandfathers. Yes—plural. My dad and Luciano’s dad had been laying low from the Mafia and now decided to travel the world together. Since Reese is alrea

    This chapter is dedicated to Daisy and Reese! It also shows how Don Emiliano changed his mind! Reese She slapped my shoulder and gently pushed me away, causing our lips to separate from each other. I leaned in to kiss her once again, but she placed her hand on my chest and halted my movement. She gave me a nonchalant look before placing a quick kiss on my lips. "There," she said. "That's the last one. Now, we have to go back to work." I raked my hands through my hair and let out a deep sigh. "I don't know what to do anymore, Daisy," I said. "We don't even have a clue of where Thalia is!" She held onto my shoulders. "And that's why we shouldn't lose hope. I don't want to lose another important person in my life. We have to find Thalia and Lucille at all costs." I nodded my head. "We should. I just don't know where we're going to start." Suddenly, Daisy's preppy ringtone sounded in the room, causing the two of us to look at her phone. She was the first one to look at the

    Luciano "What?" I snapped, not believing a word he said. My father sighed and raked his fingers through his hair. "Count this as my final gift to you. I'm giving you a choice—the mafia or your family?" "This is another one of your ultimatums, huh?" I asked. "It's the final one," he smiled bitterly. "W—Why are you doing any of this? What made you change your mind?" He sighed. "Honestly, I never really wanted this life too." My eyebrows raised in inquiry. He never wanted this life? He's the very last person on Earth I would imagine not enjoying the mafia scene. "It is what my father taught me—the mafia always comes first. Everything else is only in second place. I instilled that quote in my mind, and even now, I still believe in that mindset." "So, you want this life after all?" I asked. "I didn't want it at first," he said. "But I've become used to it. There are a lot of things and people I've sacrificed because of that belief, and frankly, I'm way too deep into this li

    Thalia"No!" I exclaimed, going back to remove the hollow blocks that separated Luciano and I. However, I halted my steps when I felt Lucille stirring in my arms. I looked back and forth from the wall to my daughter and realized why Luciano decided to do what he has done.It's for the two of us to survive...Even if that means he doesn't get to.So, with a heavy heart and tears streaming down my face, I squeezed through the narrow opening to finally escape from this place. The cold air hit me as soon as I escaped, yet I still feel like I can't breathe properly. I also feel like there isn't any strength left in my body, and there isn't anything I want to do other than go back to where Luciano is and stay with him until the end. But I have to think about our daughter and about how much life she still has to live. With that thought in mind, I ran away from the building, determined not to look back. My vision was occluded with tears, and due to that, I couldn't clearly see what was
