He sat down on a chair and crossed his legs as he stared at the lowest-ranking leader who had been sweating and fidgeting the entire time they were inside the interrogation room. He tapped his finger on the table three times to get the man's attention. "Who told you to assassinate us?" Eros asked with a small smirk. He was led here after confessing that he was the one who tried to do such a thing. Dylan, the first name of the lowest-ranking leader, looked up while his lips shivered. He tried his best to answer Eros' question. "I-I did it on my own," he answered as he gripped what was left of his finger. "You're the lowest-ranking out of all the leaders beneath me. What did the higher-ups offer you once they take my throne to take their fall?" Eros hit a bull's eye as the man broke down crying. How pathetic. Eros could only laugh at his stupidity, letting himself be used by other leaders. "If you were smart enough, you could've had me as your ally. If only you told me those who plan
Keisha's eyes widened and she shook her head profusely. "I'll make sure to let the doctors do their job, bye!" she said before ending the call. She felt like she'd have much more of a terrible time if Eros was the one who would take care of her. She handed the phone back to James and he let the doctors back inside. "I'm guessing you got convinced?" James asked as he looked at his watch and saw almost twenty minutes passed since the start of their call. "I didn't know you'd be looking for Elaine. I thought you hated her," James joked and she blinked a couple of times. The doctors probably told him that, making her even more annoyed than she already was. "Please just leave me alone," she pleaded before shooing him away. James chuckled. "I'm glad you're feeling better," he rejoiced before leaving the room, finally giving her some piece of mind. Keisha stayed silent as the doctors checked her body and monitors. She thought deeply about the situation. Eros will surely not harm her aft
KEISHA also saw the broadcast live on television while she was eating breakfast in her room. Not having much of a reaction, she paid no attention to the television anymore. She didn't think he'd pull a stunt like this yet was fine with it. Using her public facadé to make an advantage from the enemy was a smart move, but a risky one. Either way, Keisha was pleased with Eris' decision. "When can I go outside? I haven't seen the sun in so long," Keisha asked the doctor who was checking up on her. He sighed heavily before looking at the time and pointing at the wheelchair inside the room. "You will need assistance if you plan to roam around outside," he claimed and her eyebrows raised. "I don't need it," she reasoned. "Then you will not be going outside," he declared and she let out a loud groan. She rested her head on the small table on her bed where her food was placed. "Who will be watching over me?" she questioned and he didn't answer. She looked up with a confused look before th
KEISHA has not seen Eros for almost a few days, making her wonder if it was because of what happened when her family came by to check on her. On the good side, she's recovered immensely and has already been active outside her room. It's only a matter of time before she can start kicking and punching ass again. While at the dinner table, she and James were eating alone, sitting across from one another. The utensils clang with the plates as they chewed their food in silence. Such a big empty mansion. "Aren't you curious why Eros hasn't been around?" James suddenly spoke and she raised her head. She put her utensils down and tilted her head. "Should I be?" she wondered and he smiled. "I know you are curious," he rephrased his sentence, making it a specified statement. Her face stayed emotionless before she started eating her food again. "He's punishing those who wronged you," he said as if answering the question in her mind. "More like punishing those who almost got the best of him.
KEISHA set up a table and a chair on the balcony. She has been reading a book to enjoy the red moon above her, not wanting to miss a second of it for sleep. Her eyebrows rose after hearing the massive gates from afar open. She stood up from her seat and walked to the edge of the balcony to see who would go to the mansion at this hour. Her mouth slightly opened after seeing the mafia boss get out of the car and looked up at her. The cold air brushed her skin, and seemingly hard to breathe properly. He was wearing a black and white suit matching his pitch-black hair. Eros smiled slightly as he watched Keisha's hair and nightgown sway with the wind. "It's been a while," he whispered to himself before walking inside. He walked up the stairs and went to the balcony Keisha was staying at. He inhaled sharply after seeing her sitting down on the table with her legs crossed, leaning back, and hands behind her while staring at him. "You're still alive?" Keisha asked sarcastically. "Unfortun
Keisha stayed in that position while reading her book for hours and her husband was still fast asleep. She was already used to staying still for a long period of time so this was a piece of cake. Once she finished her book, she looked down at the sleeping mafia boss. His lips were slightly open as he slept and was making faint snoring sounds. Keisha stroked his hair as she got a better view of his face. How can someone have a perfectly symmetrical face? For a man raised with knives and guns, his face was flawless. "Do you get plastic surgery?" she asked before poking his cheeks with her fingers multiple times. He suddenly grabbed her wrist and opened his eyes. "Keisha," he called out with eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Her eyes widened and she suddenly stood up. Eros slammed on the floor. "I know you're attracted to me but goddamn," he commented as he groaned before pushing himself up. Keisha cleared her throat as she backed away from him. "I was just curious," she answered with
"Fuck you, Eros!" she screamed as she breathed heavily, feeling pain behind her. Eros leaned towards her and offered her his hand. She glared at him before holding his palm. Instead of pulling herself up with his help, she pulled him down and rolled away. Eros hit the grass and dirt, making Keisha chuckle loudly from the side. Eros glared at her before sitting down. "What? You made me fall down first," Keisha reasoned before rolling her eyes. "You're not hurt, right?" Eros had to make sure she was fine. Keisha touched her body all over and nodded her head. "You don't see any bones sticking out, do 'ya?" she joked with a laugh. "Why are you out here, anyway? There's a training room inside the mansion," he reasoned and she shrugged. "Your uncle was here a couple of minutes ago. He suffocates me," she explained and his eyebrows furrowed. He clenched his jaw before standing up. "Where is he now?" he asked with a dagger for eyes. Keisha blinked a couple of times, noticing how his tone
Keisha stroked his back slowly as she felt his tears fall on her shoulder. She listened to his muffled breathing, and he suddenly broke down after saying something odd. (Perhaps it was because of their fight?) she thought to herself. After all, this was the first time the brother fought one another after James returned here. "I know it must be tough what you two went through," she uttered like a mother while calming him down with the strokes of her fingers on his back. She sighed heavily. "But you only have each other now. You shouldn't make an enemy out of your brother," she murmured. "You don't know how family rivalry happens," Eros retorted before lifting his head from her shoulders and wiping the tears away from his face. "But that's not what I was crying about," he explained with a chuckle. Her brows furrowed and she tilted her head. "Why were you crying then?" she asked as she grabbed the clean cloth and dabbed it on his face to clean his wounds. "I just found someone who I
