That morning, Jaxon woke up earlier than usual. He even walked with very light steps as he descended the stairs to the kitchen. And as is the custom of the other Red Cage members, there are only Jaxon, Nicko, and Gideon every morning, but their steps stop when they see Rey there.Seeing his three other friends sitting in their usual chairs, Jaxon chose to join. However, his gaze was focused on Rey sitting next to him.“You should be looking after Mia right now,” Jaxon said, displeased with his friend’s presence when Mia was alone at the guest house.“Many people are protecting her,” Rey stated without moving his head from the food in front of his face. “Even grenades will back away from that place.”Instead of laughing at the joke, Jaxon’s face grew sour.“I don’t trust anyone but you, so don’t stay here too long,” Jaxon replied as he scrambled for soy sauce with Nicko.The two men stared at each other before Nicko finally let go of the bottle they were fighting over.Rey didn’t answe
After being attacked while lowering his guard, Jaxon instinctively raised his stance in a defensive position, but his hands were still hanging in the air when he realized Nicko was about to attack again.“Whoa... Bro,” Jaxon said as he yanked the red-dressed woman away from him.Instead of calming down, Nicko threw more rapid punches that almost hit Jaxon in the cheek.“What’s wrong with you?”Nicko’s eyes flashed red in response to the question.“What’s wrong with me? I should have asked you, idiot!”Another punch from Nicko, this time, hit Jaxon’s left side of his stomach, causing his body to be pushed back slightly while resisting the attack aimed at the chest.Rey, Gideon, and the others were repairing chairs thumping on the floor due to Jaxon’s tantrum earlier. They sat close together, one by one, watching the struggle of the two men in front of them.There was nothing but the sound of hitting and pain groaning from the two masculine men, which became entertainment for all the me
The doorbell startled Mia, who is in the middle of organizing her clothes in the closet. She was thinking about splitting up with Jaxon just a few hours after Ray left in the morning.“Hhhh...” she sighed as she shut the closet door.Remember, no man will ever protect her like Jaxon did for her.And, no matter how hard she tries, that child in her stomach desperately needs the presence of a father.After all, a man who harms himself rather than having an affair or doing something harmful to her is simply too protective of her. He is also not an ordinary man, because he is the leader of a dangerous organization.“You really confuse me,” Mia said quietly, moving away from the closet, went to the door.She had just gone downstairs when one of the guards Rey assigned her to was about to open the front door. Mia quickly stopped the man.“Just let me open the door,” she said abruptly.“I’m sorry, but Mr. Fredrik asked me to not let you do it.”Of course, Mia didn’t accept it because she wa
Jaxon’s head turned rapidly when he heard Mia say, “I want to return to Aurelia.”Both of them were on the bed with their bodies hugging each other, and Mia’s words had just relieved Jaxon, so he pulled her closer.“Have you thought about this? I don’t want there to be a series of fight once we get back,” he explained, receiving a light pinch on the waist. Of course, he pretended to wince because it didn’t hurt.Mia nodded slowly while her fingers played on Jaxon’s bare chest, making him feel amused and slowly getting rid of her hand by holding it tightly.“I… don’t want us to fight like this.”Hearing this, Jaxon felt like he wanted to smile, but he held back because the timing wasn’t right. He felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from his chest. What a relief.From behind her eyelashes, Mia looked at the man sleeping right beside her.She had been looking at him for so long that it was difficult for her to forget his existence.Maybe they’ll have silly disagreements in the futur
All the workers welcome Mia and Jaxon’s return to Aurelia Castle. They even flocked to Mia, congratulating her on her pregnancy. And like a proud mother-to-be, she showed several sonograms of their twins.“Oh my goodness, I can’t wait for our young master to be born,” said Pipper and Emily at the same time.Allana, who didn’t want to be left behind, also said the same thing.“Have you chosen a name?”Hearing that question, Mia immediately glanced at Jaxon, who was talking quite seriously with Nana in the corner of the room. It seemed that the grandson and grandmother were discussing something, so Mia turned her attention back to the maids surrounding her.“Jaxon and I haven’t discussed it yet, but there’s still plenty of time to do it,” Mia replied, which made everyone nod in agreement.“What a coincidence. Mr. Bradwood asked for the room connected to the master bedroom to be vacated and changed to a baby’s bedroom.”Hearing that, of course, Mia felt happy. She didn’t even think Jaxon
Seeing that several other members of the Red Cage had gathered, Jaxon relayed the information he had just received from Salvador. “So they’ve found Gioluca’s whereabouts?” Jaxon nodded as he pulled out a piece of paper Connor had also given. “I want to take you and some other members to Chicago. If you guys have a busy life that can’t be left behind, I can bring my people along,” he explained which immediately got a nod. “I’ll come with you,” Rey said, about to prepare to leave. However, Jaxon held his hand and asked Rey to sit back on the sofa. “There’s still something to discuss.” Instantly, the men sat with their bodies slightly leaning towards Jaxon. They wanted to know what other message the man had brought. “That woman.” Pointing Jaxon at the pink-haired woman, they already knew her identity. “I want you to get rid of her.” Hearing that, Rey sighed. He didn’t like dealing with women, especially punishing them, so he looked a little tortured. Seeing that, Danny also took
As soon as Jaxon and the rest of Red Cage arrived at the airport, they jumped into a vehicle parked on the tarmac. Jaxon suspected that numerous guys in black suits were waiting for them and that they were Salvador’s members in Famiglia.“Sir,” said a man who was a reinforcer.With a faint nod, the man led Jaxon to a car parked not far from the plane where they landed.“Mr. Salvador asked me to take you directly to Vitielo’s house,” the man said as he opened the door for Jaxon and the others.However, hearing the man’s words, Jaxon also turned to him for a moment.“Isn’t there a secret place for this meeting?”Instantly, the reinforcer shook his head ‘no,’ which made Jaxon feel dissatisfied.“Right now, only the Vitielo residence can keep all of you safe.”Oh, Jaxon sure does. Because Romero and Sergio Falcone and his men didn’t want anything to do with the Famiglia if they attacked the clan head.“Alright, take me there,” Jaxon said, followed by the rest of the Red Cage...Meanwhile
“What do you want to tell me?” Jaxon asked after they had finished the tense and awkward lunch.The Red Cage and the Famiglia members seemed to be watching each other, afraid that something might happen that would cause a war to erupt between the two organizations eating at the same table.Fabiana’s arrival was, of course, unexpected at the time. In truth, Jaxon was furious at the woman but couldn’t do anything about it, so he stared at her from across the table as if preparing to kill something.Of course, this was realized by Salvador, who acted as if he was the mediator between them all. And the thing that angered Jaxon the most was Salvador’s attitude of eating quietly as if they were in the middle of a picnic, and the presence of the middle-aged woman wasn’t something to bother.“Fabiana confessed. She even turned herself in before I dragged her out of hiding,” Salvador explained as he pulled a cigar from one pocket and lit a fire to light it.The man gestured for Jaxon to sit on
