Flower motioned to her two brothers to gather in the room. Josephine was a bit tired from working at the company this afternoon, especially with the arrival of Melisa and Lindsay who were very disturbing and had disrupted her concentration.Josephine apologized to the triplets because she wanted to go straight to bed after accompanying them for dinner."Is mommy sick?" Sky asked worriedly. "What happened at mommy's office this afternoon, Flow? Mommy brought you there, right?""Melisa and Lindsay came to the office this afternoon," Flower replied in an annoyed tone."What are they going there for? Don't they have nothing to do with that company anymore?" asked Rain angrily. "Did they come to bother mommy?""Yes, that's clear," Flower replied. "Especially Lindsay. She's so annoying and shameless," Flower said irritably. "She even called mommy and called her a slut for using her body to seduce Uncle Nicholas so she could become director of Grandma's company!"Flower was furious when she
"This is the last," said Flower and she clicked on the camera. "Okay, its done!""Let's go now," whispered Rain while holding Flower's hand. "I'm not sure Sky can hold Lucas any longer."Flower put the pink cover diary back where it belonged and quickly walked after Rain. She hung the digital camera strap around her neck. That thing is the most valuable thing and must be protected now, because it holds something that can beat the people who always bother her mother.Rain holds Flower's hand and they crept out of the backyard Lucas's house and through the wooden fence that separated Lucas's yard from the neighbor's backyard, then crossed the side of the house and emerged into the front yard of the house next door to Lucas' house.The houses in Lucas' neighborhood use the cul-de-sac concept, so most of them don't have a front fence, only a back and side fence that separates the area from one house to another so it's not too open.Out of the corner of his eye, Sky saw his two siblings ge
This morning, Josephine received a message from Lindsay. She asked Josephine to come out and meet her. Lindsay wants to talk to Josephine about Farline Tech.Actually, Darius had contacted her the night before and expressed his doubts about an accident they had in high school. Darius suspects Lindsay and she desperately argues, trying to convince Darius that it was Josephine who was trying to harm him.Darius did not believe her, but said he wanted nothing more to do with Lindsay and told him to handle it herself if Josephine reported her to the police because Josephine already knew that Darius was being possessed by Lindsay.Lindsay is worried that Josephine will tell someone else about it and it will throw her reputation into disarray again.Lindsay has been limiting her appearances in public recently, after trouble at Lynner Hardy's birthday party. This very embarrassing incident really disrupted her career. Most of hee fans turned into haters and they reproached her and her family
Josephine POVI stared at the object that Lucas threw. A book with a pink cover. Instantly I understood everything. That book is my diary, when I was in high school.I have written in the book in secret. When I was in high school, I was so obsessed with Lucas. He is an idol in school and very famous. Not only because of his good looks, but also because he is a bright and active student. Lucas is a star in every basketball game, student body president, and good at playing the guitar and piano. He also comes from a rich family. Girls adore him and boys want to be like him.At that time, I would secretly observe him any time and record all the moments he made my heart flutter with the digital camera. I wrote down all the emotions I felt for him in the pink notebook, but I never gave the notebook to him.I was a pretty shy girl back then and not really sociable. I don't really like crowds and prefer to read in the library or go straight home after school. Even though there were several ma
"Nicholas, is that you?"Josephine's eyes widened, seeing who was the one who let go of her hand from Lucas' grip and pulled her waist away.Nicholas nodded with a smile. He still held Josephine's waist in his hands. "Hi, Baby," Nicholas said casually. "What happened?"Josephine thought quickly of using Nicholas' presence as an excuse to stay away from Lucas. He turned to Lucas."I was about to leave, but he stopped me," said Josephine flatly.Nicholas's brow furrowed and he glared at Lucas fiercely. "Why are you holding my lover from leaving?" asked Nicholas coldly. He took Josephine's hand that had been held by Lucas and became even more irritated. "You even made these precious hands turn this red!"Lucas realized that he might hurt Josephine because of his strong grip and quickly approached Josephine again to check her hand, but Nicholas' tall build prevented him."Move," Lucas snapped. "I have to check on Josephine. I didn't mean to hurt her."Nicholas pushed Lucas so that he fell
"I am the leader of the Gold Dragon, a mafia clan that was founded decades ago by my great great great great-grandfather, long before the McKenzie and Adams generation were born. I don't know who founded it and how Gold Dragon was born, but leadership has always been left to the sons. The eldest of the previous leaders," Nicholas said in a calm and clear voice."M-mafia?" whispered Josephine nervously. "But, what about the Genesis Group? You are the President of Genesis Group, did you?""The Genesis Group and the Gold Dragon are like the concepts of yin and yang, describing the nature of the interconnected and opposing forces and how the two forces complement and build upon one another. These two are inseparable, interrelated and complementary to each other."Josephine tried to digest what Nicholas had said without prejudice, but she had to admit that her heart trembled. Josephine only knows that the mafia world is a dark and cruel world."What are you doing with the Black Dragon?"
"You're not Rain Damian," muttered Josephine.Nicholas chuckled. "You're not Flower either."Josephine feeling betrayed. She thought, the triplets conspired with Nicholas to lie to her, saying they want to have dinner with Josephine, but they trapped her to meet Nicholas."Why did you do that, Nicholas? You don't have to have the kids lie to me, saying they want to have dinner with me, just to ask me to meet," said Josephine.Nicholas's eyebrows rose and he stepped closer to Josephine. "Josephine, what do you think of me having changed so badly in just a few days after you found out I was a mobster? " asked Nicholas coldly."You think this is my plan? Having the kids lie to you just to bring you here and meet you? Why do I have to do that when I can kidnap you directly to bring you to the mansion? I'm a mobster, you know, right? I can do anything and stay safe! There's no need to take advantage of the children."Josephine was stunned to hear Nicholas' words. "I mean, why did you--""F
"Baby, Rocco will be arriving tomorrow evening. He will start work at Farline on Monday. You can take your breath away for a moment, don't push yourself too hard," Nicholas said while stroking Josephine's hair.Josephine looked up and her tired eyes shone. "Oh, thank goodness. I'm starting to get overwhelmed here.There are too many things that are messy and need to be cleaned up," Josephine said, pointing to the papers scattered on her desk.Nicholas sat in the chair in front of Josephine's desk and wondered if he had made the right decision to transfer Farline Tech to Josephine.He was worried, instead putting great pressure on Josephine. However, Rocco had promised to help Josephine completely.He remembered their chat via Skype, a few days earlier.-Flashback-"My nephew will be running the cafe," Rocco said in a relieved tone. "So I can leave in peace.""That's great then. Just tell Ben or Win what you need either there or for you here. They'll have it ready right away," Nicholas
