[PRESENT]

Diego was seated in the floor in his room, his face smeared with tears as those memories flood in. It was as if his wound was reopened.

"Diego" He heard the voice of Candy, filled with worries.

"Di, open the door" Candy plead lightly with a knock. Her eyes teared up, but she tried to hold it in. She could hear the man's light sob inside.

"Please Di, let me console you" She sighed when he didn't respond. Maybe he wanted sometimes alone. She slowly sat on the floor, resting her back on her husband's door. Hearing his sob, broke her heart.

Soon, Candy jolt up from her sleep when the door open. She stood when she saw Diego.

"Di" Her voice croaked staring at his face in the dark.

She didn't ask any question and pulled him close for a hug. Diego buried his face on her neck hugging her tight.

She was like his medicine.

Why did he, of all people, have to be Shortie's husband?"You certainly piss me off, Diego," Griffin mumbled, his gaze turning cold as he began to step toward Diego.Diego did the same, approaching him.

Griffin didn't stop his brutal attack, both of them grinning.When Diego sent his own punch, it narrowly missed Griffin's face, causing him to stumble back. Before he could regain his balance, Diego attacked again."Not bad, asshole." Diego's punch hit the wall when Griffin managed to dodge, cracking the wall with the intensity."Well, I wasn't in prison for nine years, sitting and doing nothing. I'm glad you became stronger too."

    Venessa marched forward, but Vincent was fast enough to hold her back."What do you think you are doing?" Vincent yelled at her."Let go of me! Let me kill her! Why did she do that to my father?!" Venessa screamed, not giving up on trying to reach Hannah.Hannah remained motionless, her face blank as if nothing was happening.The doctors, nurses, and a police officer rushed in, all trying to hold Venessa."Don't touch me!"

Why would you do that?!" she yelled insanely, tears streaming down her face.The police officer grabbed her this time. She couldn't get away. Her hands were handcuffed behind her back, and she was taken away screaming.Vincent's eyes widened in shock, his chest heaving. He had almost forgotten about Venessa.

    "What the...."Jameson's words caught in his throat as he watched the two figures abruptly disentangle from each other.Yazmine and Aiden's faces turned pale, both momentarily forgetting how to speak."James?!" Yazmine scratched her head awkwardly. "W... what are you doing here?""What do you mean by that question? It was you who asked me to help with the grocery store later on. When did you return? And..." Jameson's gaze fixed on Aiden, his expression intense."And what the heck were you doing with my sister?" he uttered through gritted teeth."Mr. James, I can explain, um..." Aiden swallowed, exchanging a glance with Yazmine for a moment."I've been dating Yazmine for a while now, and I was about to let you know. I'm so sorry you had to find out this way," Aiden apologized politely, though clearly nervous."Oh really?" Jameson stepped forward, but Yazmine stood in his way, positioning herself between Jameson and Aiden. Her gaze locked with Jameson's."Brother, allow me to introduce

    "What the hell do you want?" She asked."Don't you miss me?" He asked lightly, shifting his gaze down to her breasts. Phoenix wasn't wearing much... just a tube top and shorts, so Griffin could see those lovely peaches calling for his attention."Get lost, nitwit," she groaned."Don't you miss how we used to fuck...?" He asked, drawing his face close. "Damn. You look sexier than before."Phoenix managed to slip her hands out, she pushed his hand holding the knife away from her neck and kneed his groin.Trying to get away, Griffin held her again, this time punching her face. Phoenix's lips bursted.Griffin snaked his hand hard around her neck, choking her."Diego's bitch number one.. am I right? Did you enjoy how that bastard fucked and trashed you aside.. that you now work for him?""At least.. he.. is better than you," she managed to speak."Are you still in love with him? The man that literally fucks without giving a damn about you?""That is none of your business, Griffin," Phoenix

Does his father thinks doing this would make him stop hating him?A knock on his door interrupted him."Go away, whoever it is," he said coldly."It's Griffin," The voice sounded and his eyes open."I obviously said go away," Diego said coldly."C'mon on out, I need to show you something," Griffin said stubbornly."I said get the fuck out! Don't try to get close to me," Diego snapped.The door suddenly opened and Griffin stepped in. Diego got up from his bed with a scowl."The hell?!" "You should stop being like this. We are the only boys in this big house. We should be close to each other just like how we were when little," Griffin stated but Diego marched towards him, grabbing his shirt."I hate it when someone invades my privacy. I don't want to be close to anyone.. especially someone like you!" He spat.Griffin looked down at his hand and sigh

    The old man saw the scene and was shocked. Diego smirked; all of this was just his plan."I saw your son! Do you think I am blind?" Old Mavis questioned Vincent and Hannah."There must be a misunderstanding. Why would Griffin want to hurt Diego? We all have seen how close these two are," Hannah spoke."That's it... we are going to choose the next president. And I have already decided who I am going to give that power to."Hannah's face turned pale. If Old Mavis had a bad impression of Griffin, that would be a problem."Shouldn't we test them first? I mean their capability," Hannah suggested, and the old man thought for a while before agreeing.__The Gonzalez corporation was after an impossible contract. Old Mavis gave the assignment to Griffin and Diego.Diego was 18, while Griffin was 20. Both were handsome and brilliant. They were each assigned a mentor to guide them."Are you sure about this? Remember, you never wanted this path," Jameson said worriedly to Diego."I need to teach

    Silence hung in the car as Phoenix thought about how Diego had saved her. This man literally killed all of them without batting an eye. Then, he set the club on fire. Gawd! He is really a devil."Why did you save me?" she asked lightly."It comes with a price," Diego stated. "From now on, you work for me. I'm gathering my own army in the underworld. You'll train and work undercover.""Hm, I accept," Phoenix agreed without thinking much. Diego owned her life now; she had no objections to it.___"I swear to Gawd, Phoenix, I was drunk! I didn't even know what I was doing!" Griffin yelled as he tried to stop Phoenix, who didn't respond."Phoenix," Griffin held her, his eyes tearing up a little."Do you know who saved me back there?" she asked, and Griffin frowned. "It was Diego. I belong to him now, and it was my choice to accept."Griffin held her face close. "You can't leave me, please. Don't do this. I love you. I can't lose you too."Phoenix shook her head and walked out on him, head

"I found out that you like me..."Jackie's expression remained blank as he spoke."And thinking of it makes me hate myself even more. Jackie, I... uhm... don't know what to think. I really don't want to hurt—""Should I help you think?" Jackie asked."How?" he asked, confused.Jackie held his collar and crashed her lips on his. She stayed like that for a while; Jameson froze in shock until she slowly pulled away, staring at him."How about now?" she asked lightly. Jameson stayed silent, staring deep at her.When the man didn't respond, disappointment washed over Jackie's face. He doesn't feel the same way? If so, then she should just give up here.Just as she made to step back, Jameson immediately held her waist and pulled her to himself, their chests colliding."Mr. James?" Jackie called lightly. Jameson's stare was serious and unreadable."Well

    "I love you so much, Mom. I wish to kiss your cheek right now," Alex said."Sure, baby, come," Candy said.The two boys came running towards her. They kissed each side of her cheek, and Diego sighed."You shouldn't talk or stand while eating," Diego stated."We wanted to kiss our mother. Is that a wrong thing to do, Father?" Andrew asked."I know what you're doing," Diego raised a brow."She is our mother," Alex said from behind."I can take her out on a vacation like I did last time," Diego said, warning dripping from his tone. He seemed to have won again since the boys didn't know what to say."Di," Candy called, seeing the boys' sad look."They are pretending," Diego knew these two devils better than Candy... they were practically him."Di," Candy called again."Fine... I'm not taking only her. Actually, we are all going on a vacation," Diego stated, and the boys squealed with joy.Candy took Andrew onto her lap while Diego took Alex, and they began to feed them.Old Mavis smiled.

    Twins?Shock registered on Diego's face; of course, he wasn't expecting it."What did they say?" Candy's weak voice brought back his attention. She couldn't hear them earlier due to exhaustion."Bring them over," he demanded from the nurses, and the two boys were handed carefully to him. His eyes teared up as he stared at the two blessings.This was his first time holding children—they were his. Never had he thought a day like this would actually come."W...we have twins," his voice trembled with excitement. "And they are both boys," he laughed lightly.Candy chuckled, her weak hand reaching to touch each of them.

    The next day, Jameson and the others were admitted to the hospital to tend to their wounds.Aiden was chatting with Blake when Yazmine appeared."Yaz!" he exclaimed, standing up."Aiden!" Yazmine ran to hug him tightly. Aiden did the same, kissing her neck."That jerk has a girlfriend," Blake muttered. His phone beeped; it was time for him to leave. He gave Aiden one last look and left."Did you miss me that much?" Aiden asked as Yazmine continued to hug him tightly."You have no idea," Yazmine mumbled. "I was so scared when I heard about the bomb. Are you hurt?" she asked, looking up at him."Just a little...""Huh? Where? Let me see," she demanded, checking out his body."Yaz, I'm fine," he assured her, but she refused to listen. Aiden pecked her lips, and she froze."I'm fine," he said again, tucking her loose hair behind her ear. His eyes caught a figure in the distance, and his movement paused.Yazmine traced his gaze and found Jameson. His arm was wrapped in bandages, same as hi

    Vincent roughly made his way to Hannah's ward. He was a mess, lean and dirty to look at. The man appeared as someone who had lost his world.Opening the door, he staggered in but then frowned, seeing Hannah lying on the floor.He took slow steps approaching her."Hannah?" He called lightly but didn't get any movement from her. "Honey, why are you sleeping on the floor?" He asked, shaking her body.His eyes darted around the room after perceiving a strange scent. His eyes caught a strange container on the table. With slow movement, he reached for it and gasped when he saw what it contained.Poison..."No... no," Vincent shook his head. His eyes caught a paper too, and he took it to read.'It's all my fault. I destroyed the family I had dreamt of, and I hate myself for it. I'm so sorry.'"What? Hannah, no, no... please, you can't do this, no!" Vincent yelled, holding Hannah's body to himself. Tears rolled down his face uncontrollably."Hannah, wake up! What am I supposed to do without

    A bucket of water was poured on his face, prompting his heavy eyes to open. He found Phoenix tied before him too."You didn't find the others?" Noah asked."Not yet... the search is still going on," the built man behind him replied. He was the one who had captured Jameson.Noah returned his gaze to the two and smiled. "Where are the rest of you?""In your ass. You'll need to use your dick as glasses to see them," Jameson's reply almost made Phoenix burst into laughter.Noah stepped forward and punched Jameson in the face, bursting his lips."Gosh, you're so annoying," Noah grumbled. "Bring in the torture equipment. This is going to be interesting."Just then, a figure dressed like one of Noah's men stepped in. His face was covered as he pushed a table forward. Various dangerous instruments for torture were arranged on it.Noah smirked at the sight but failed to notice the dangerous gaze of the man who had just stepped in.Jameson's eyes remained on him. His aura was familiar."Begin.

    The men in the room literally choked on their saliva and began to cough. Candy's face turned pale and red. This would be the first time hearing that walking could affect pregnancy. "No, no it doesn't," she shook her head vehemently. She couldn't imagine Diego carrying her all around the house. "Don't worry, wife. I'm strong enough to do that every single day," he replied. "Huh? No, you don't have to. I'm fine." Diego didn't listen as he led her back to the room, placing her gently on the bed. "Wait here, I'll get something to eat," he kissed her forehead and left. Candy's mouth stayed open. Gosh! He is so adorable. She laughed lightly at his reaction seconds ago; it was so cute. Diego came back after some minutes, an alluring meal laid on the tray he was holding. "The chef made this," he stated. "Wow, it looks so good," Candy squealed, smiling like a kid. "Thanks, hubby." "I love your smile so much." His face turned worried again. "Have you gone to the hospital?" "Yeah, I did

    Venessa held her red cheek and shot a glare at Yazmine. "Here is a drink, ex-boss," Jackie said, spilling the water in her hand on Venessa's dress. "You!" Venessa yelled at them as she stepped forward with a glare. "Girl, don't even try what's inside that birdbrain of yours 'cause you'll surely regret it when I shove my heels into your mouth," Yazmine warned, her voice cold as hell. "You're just sad, and trust me, you haven't seen enough. I'll pay you back for what you did to me. We're just getting started," Venessa glared. Yazmine didn't reply. Not that she didn't know what to say, she just didn't want to waste precious saliva because of the dumbass. "You can take the remaining drink," Jackie said, dropping the bottle on the floor before following Yazmine. Yazmine took a deep breath in frustration after driving away from the company, with Jackie seated by her side. "I have no idea what I'm doing," she muttered. "We should find Candy first," Jackie suggested. "Yeah,

    Candy stayed frozen, her eyes staring at him for an immeasurable amount of time. It's not a dream, right? Her Di is standing right before her! She reached for his face with her hand, afraid he would disappear."Di? I... it's really you," Candy's voice croaked as another round of tears streamed down her face. Her heart burned within with the fear of losing him again.Diego held her face and smiled painfully. Gosh, he must have scared his wife, and he hated it. He is back, and this time, he'll never leave her side. He'll take down those fools that caused this... in a gruesome way.But first, he needed to soothe his wife's heart. That was why he came for her face."It's me," he whispered in the most gentle voice ever."I missed you," she said, wrapping her arms around him, inhaling the scent she missed so much. "I missed you so much, Di... don't ever do that again. I'm so mad at you and at the same time glad... I love you so much, Di. Please stay safe and...""Shh," Diego ran his fingers

    Not too far away, there was another building. At the top was Vincent with a telescope. When the building exploded, he gasped and shifted back. He actually saw the two familiar figures at the building window and was shocked to see Romeo and Diego.Diego was now in the river, drowning, while his younger brother... his brother... was dead.There were five of them watching, but he was the only one who saw it.Shock etched every part of his face. A hand held his shoulder."Mister, we have to leave now. Our work here is done," a voice said behind him. Hearing no reply from Vincent, he frowned. "Is there something wrong?" he asked suspiciously.Vincent snapped back to reality and shook his head vehemently. "Nothing, of course," he breathed out."Let's go. The military and firefighters have arrived."Well, since Diego is drowning, he shouldn't worry, right? There's no need to tell Griffin about it.But still, he couldn't shake off the feeling of losing his only brother...____At the hospital
