Eltan Storm
"Why did he call you Daddy?" Mutiny asked, still not believing and holding Xian hostage.
"Because I told him we were going to meet his daddy," Alena giggled. "Technically, I didn't lie, though. Because we are going to meet Elian after this."
"Mommy, you didn't tell me we were meeting Eltan," Xian complained with a pout.
"That's what you call a surprise, baby!" Alena cooed. "Also, call him uncle," she added a little sternly.
"It's fine. I will feel old if he calls me uncle." I turned my gaze back to Mutiny who was still skeptical of the entire situation. I

And right now, we couldn't find him anywhere.Eltan already called his men to send out a search party. They were going through the CCTV footage around the park.

You can hit me if you want," I sincerely said, closing my eyes and waiting for Elian to hit me.But instead, I was wrapped in a tight hug. "Thank you for finding him," was what he said, contrary to what I expected of him."But it really was my fault—""It doesn't matter. You returned Xian back to us safely. You did your job well," he said, and I became quiet.I watched Xian who was hugging his mom and crying. It was obviously a little too much for such a young kid.Mutiny was standing in the corner, distancing herself from my family.

We won't get a second appointment if we miss the first one," I reasoned out."I still won't go. Why didn't you ask me beforehand if you are so concerned about missing the appointment?""Because I knew you would say no."We were currently back home in Vegas at Faith's apartment.After we returned from New York two weeks ago, Faith saw a psychologist here since she

I asked over the phone. "Weren't you supposed to have dinner with Mrs. Martin?""I was having dinner with Anna, but then, duty called, so I rushed over. I have to hang up now. I'm busy.""Which duty—" Before I could ask, she cut the call.I let out an annoyed sigh.It was ten at night.

My Artistic Mafia Man Chapter 1: The New Boss
Chapter 1: The New BossEltan StormIt had been two years—two fucking years since my parents were killed in a bomb blast. Their funeral was something I would never forget; not that I would ever want to. I needed to remember exactly what I felt when I was standing in front of my parents' burned corpses so that the fire of my vengeance never dimmed.I was their youngest child—the most adored and spoiled one. I used to be the goofy troublemaker among my siblings. I had been the only one who didn't go down the family business path. That's why my parents were protective of me and almost never let me out of their sight. Not like they would restrict me a lot. In fact, they would let me get away with stuff that they normally wouldn't allow Elian and Lance. Even when they sent the two of them out of the city, Mom and Dad made sure I was always within their hands' reach, whether it was their impromptu dinner plans or dragging me to their boring business parties.Mom and I were like besties; we

Chapter 2: Press Or Not?Eltan StormFaith's reaction after learning I was the new boss was somewhat hilarious. She froze like an ice sculpture in her spot the moment I didn't decline the claim, thus confirming her belated guess.I got up from my seat slightly and arched an eyebrow. "So you bitch about your new boss right in front of him, and then, you say you don't care at the same time as long as you get your paycheck on time."She bit her lip—utterly embarrassed. "... Sir—Boss... what shall I call you?"I leaned toward her ear and whispered, "Eltan."She took a step backward and shook her head. "No, no. How can I call my boss by his name?"It was amusing to watch her unfiltered reaction, so I continued, "Why? You call Lance by his name.""But Lance is Lance. You are my new boss and," she stopped talking for a while and gasped as something struck her mind. "Oh my God, I just bitched about my new boss to my new boss."I put my hands in my pocket and agreed unrepentantly, "That you un

Chapter 3: Stranger talkEltan Storm"Capo, you can't lock yourself inside your room forever!" Denver hollered from outside my bedroom."Tell me to come out once you have located those bastards," I replied, my eyes fixated on the canvas in front of me.After two whole years, I had taken out my painting kit. I couldn't stop thinking about Faith. I wanted to go see her. But I knew I shouldn't. I needed to stay away from that girl for my own sanity's sake. Because if I saw her beautiful smile with dimples one more time, I would be a whipped man. And I couldn't afford that. I had more important goals.Since I couldn't go meet her, the next best thing was to paint her. My fingers were itching to pick up my brushes for her, but I resisted. However, I finally gave in to the temptation on the third day.Since I remembered every detail of her perfectly, I had been busy stroking colors on the canvas for two days, trying to create a perfect masterpiece of Faith.I smiled to myself in satisfactio

She was putting up a smile constantly, and I couldn't tell if it was a hundred percent genuine or not. Surely, she was struggling inside.But I tried my best to make things easier for her.Since we were going to be in New York for a week, I took her sightseeing to keep her mind off going into dark places.Due to my shoulder still not being fully healed, she wouldn't let us stay outside for long. However, only at that time, I could be sure that she was truly smiling from the bottom of her heart. Because it showed on her face how much she liked having fun wit

She waltzed into the room and slapped my hand away to start working on the buttons."Why did you even bother asking?"She shrugged her shoulders and helped me take off the shirt. "What about your pants? I'll be happy to help with this too." She licked her lips and ran her index finger over the edge of my slacks with a mischievous glint in her ey

He aimed for my heart, but he missed and hit my shoulder.I chuckled lightly at her fussing. "He's dead already. Remember, you emptied your magazine shooting at that guy?""Not enough! I'm still going to cut him into little pieces, then I will burn them," she declared, her arms crossed against her chest."Just please
