"What else can I do?" Macerio chuckled deeply as his voice sent shivers down both Olive and Asher. Both men stood there with sweat on their foreheads. Obviously, this man still had these authoritative glares and tones, and they could not help but cowardly bow their heads. As they were equally scared of this man.
His years of gambling and crimes were no match for many young mafia rulers, especially Mr. Nathan from the Ezra Cassano lineage, yet he was able to surpass him! What a mystery!
"Look at me; I am nothing but a broken man with a dead daughter and half a leg on a wheelchair. Should I go on? I was definitely not the old master in those days. That bastard asshole has ruined everything! He brought nothing but shame to Johnson’s name!"
Macerio ranted with every one of his words, cursing Nathan’s generation if there ever was one. He crushed
Camila’s eyes caught Ace's after several stealing glances. Blinking, she decided to strike up a conversation with him. Her heart pounded quickly as she felt the air in her throat dry up faster.Camila coughed slightly, moved her gaze from Ace to Yvonne, and immediately looked back at Ace. She could probably predict the cold stares he was giving Lillian, and instantly it crossed her mind—the incident in the elevator. Her heart was not at rest, seeing that, from the look on their faces, they had some ugly past together. Gulping in, she settled herself into finding the truth."About the warehouse issue...."Her words came out as slowly and gradually as a child could confirm his evil deed to his mother. The entire room seemed to have fallen into complete silence, and even Yvonne felt the chilling atmosphere on her skin. Ace breathed out slowly,
Laura said as she managed to laugh out her annoyance in a cold tone. "He gave me a time limit, and I am disobeying his rules. Besides, I am only a subordinate, remember?"Her bitter tone struck curiosity in Ace’s heart. He wanted so badly to injure Nathan for making his wife cry in pain. Ace groaned, went over to her side, not minding the outsider, and embraced her deeply while running her fingers through her black hair."Enough, Ace! I am not hurt, truly!"Laura retorted as she shook her body from his touch and walked over to the window. She gazed at the shimmering glasses and pushed them open."I hope so." He teasingly added and became serious, seeing Yvonne uncomfortable with his appearance. "I can help you. I can give you a better life.""Ace, you don’t need to; I have
Laura hissed as the desire beneath her body rushed to her brain. One touch of his sent so many sensual feelings to her nerves, and this was not another good sign as far as she is concerned. "I am so tired right now."She stopped his movement and pushed him away. Scared by her rejection, Ace looked deeply into her eyes and found nothing but emptiness. It seemed she truly had lost her appetite for men!"So you push me away because Nathan hurt your feelings.""You wish. I am not in the mood. I have to study my client well. I was given a deadline, and that’s the next three months." Laura frowned and sat back down on her chair. She waved her hand at him. "If you honestly want me, you have to earn it."‘What are you talking about? Are you challenging me, Miss Laura?" Ace’s brows furrowed suspiciously as he moved
The same voice he refused to recognize called out to him, and even this time around, it was accompanied by a deep hug. Nathan stood frozen, not knowing what to do. The hug, face, and name sounded so similar to the one who died years ago—in fact, five years ago.‘It can’t be. I watched them die. They can’t possibly be alive. Riccardo is dead, and so are the others.Nathan calmed his throbbing heart and, in one second, pushed the man away. His brows arched when his eyes fell upon a familiar tattoo on his neck: the tattoo of the eagle, their friend symbol."Is that truly you, Rico?" His breath became harsh while his hands roamed all over Rico’s body, ensuring that it was not a dream but reality. The reality seemed to be a dream.Rico nodded his head in response to his question, and this time
He indifferently called her name as if it were disgusting to say. Every part of him wanted to cry about that woman. Tear apart the woman who made him broken for two years. Yes, that is right, they dated for three good years, and this is what he gets—watching her fuck his friend!The earth must be against him."What a unique name! I can’t wait to meet her. She is quite fascinating already. My sister won’t be glad that you tricked her and moved on."Well, you can’t because she has only a few months before I strangle her to death.""Shit! What’s that meant for men? This is so cold, Enzo! Who made you like this? Why did you turn gruesome all of a sudden?" Rico spoke with a hint of trembling in his voice. He had never seen Lorenzo this cold and heartless before. The urge to kill her was easily
Nathan yelled, fighting the deadly, bloodthirsty look in his soul. His heart was completely enraged.Every single part of him was so scary that even the boys became afraid of him. They had not seen Lorenzo like this before!“Bro, calm down; it isn’t the end of the world." Rico held him sturdily and prevented him from doing any harm to himself. He had not expected things to take a turn for the worse. “That is not the main point, Enzo. The main thing is that... They were after you and only attacked us because they knew that we were friends.”“What? That is shit! Why would they be after a poor, lonely street boy?”“That is the shit I still don’t fucking get." It was Lassie who spoke, wheeling himself to Nathan. He patted his arms and smiled. “I think they stopped chasi
Still In Miami,The footsteps on the tile floor increased as Nathan hastily walked through the lavish white tiles on the ground. He stopped in front of the black, heavy wooden door and pushed it open, only to be welcomed by the ghastly smoke from the cigarette."I see you found me in under a minute. That’s a new record. The old man coughed out smoke from his nostrils and gulped in the hot, steaming water from the fountain. "Let me guess, you found out everything.""Don’t test my patience. Just because I saved your miserable life doesn’t mean I can’t take it away with my hands." His threatening grin caused Vincenzo, an Italian ruffian boss, to burst into a sheepish cackle. He sat close to an airtight window and blew more smoke out of his mouth.His left arm was amputated, and his face was badly burned
He smirked, adding some sass to his attitude. Vincenzo trembled, knowing fully well what he meant. His whole family would be wiped out because of a lost soul! His family was going to pay the price—the eternal price."I beg you; I am nothing without my wife, my kids, and my brother. I know it is hard for me to say this, but... Forgive me. I hadn’t thought it through that day; I wanted it quick and fast. I am sorry.""That girl you killed last was my blood sister, my ‘everything’ after my parents abandoned us. Remember when you forced me to watch her die from excessive bleeding? I was the fucking one. I was the fucking one pleading not for you to kill her. I was the one!" Nathan bitterly roared, slamming his fist into the wall. His eyes raged with blood as he glared at Vincenzo. A strike of disdain, ruthlessness, and cruelty was written boldly on his face. He wanted
……………Meanwhile, In Ace’s House.Ace tossed around the bed with his arms stretched out while looking for Laura on the bed. When he did not find anyone, he groaned and sat up on the bed. His eyes fluttered open to see an empty bed with himself on it.‘Come on, Laura, you could not even wait for me to get up before running away. Groaning once again, he stood up from the king-sized bed, put on a white silk shirt, and headed downstairs. Due to his blurry eyes, he skipped a step and fell. Ace cursed, stood up, and headed st
Still in the hospital,Once Levi was out of sight, Asher slumped onto the chair, balled his fist, and mumbled some words out of his mouth. He recalled all that Levi had said from the beginning to the end, and his head focused on the number of zeros in a billion dollars."I am sorry, but you are not worth it, Macerio. Besides, you never treated me fairly; why should I do the same for you?" An unexpected feeling of anger surged through him as Asher walked closer and closer to Macerio’s body. He smirked and rolled the cord, which connected all his breathing tubes to the socket. Thoughts ran quickly through his mind, while some little voices ringing in his head urged him to cut off the wire.‘Cut off the wire.‘End his life.
The imminent dayAsher paced about with his hands swinging from left to right. He stopped for a while, yelled anxiously, and continued to dial the number again. This early morning, the shareholders were tipped off about last night’s incident owing to the media’s influence, and very early, they threatened to pull their funds away. On hearing this, Asher’s hair stood straight while his fist balled together as he overheard their assumptions. Pretty right and said! Like how he assumed they would think!They did not even wait to hear the full story and quickly threw all the blame on him."Olive, think about it; the shares are dropping fast." Asher cried painfully as his legs trembled on the white tiles. In front of them was Macerio, lying half unconscious on the bed, and then the beeping sound of the machines. "I failed him."
"Yeah, I know." He paused and looked at the book she was reading. It was one about motherhood, and he frowned deeply. He had truly thought that Laura had strolled past the loss of her first child, and now seeing her with the book, he felt devastated."Don’t blame Nathan; it was the urgent thing to do. He was right all along; having a baby was lame." Laura gushed off the feeling from her head and tossed the book into the same trash can. Her head flung over while she adjusted herself on the bed to sleep."He made you risk your life, and you don’t care?""I did care, but now that I have finally understood what he meant, I know I was the one that was forcing him. Hearing Olive's statement made me realize that I was the one who forced Nathan. We
Laura grimily added, smiled at the camera, and turned around back into the red Maybach car parked in front of the red carpet walk-through.Once she got inside and the car sped off for a long distance, her smile turned into a deadly frown as the person behind her iced the entire atmosphere. She shifted her gaze to Nathan and yelled."What the fuck was that? Did you know how suspicious it was for a grown man to fall and kill himself? What are you going to do about that? What if they can point it at what you are doing?"Laura rambled anxiously with her fingers entwined together. She was nervous and afraid, even when she faced the camera. She wasn’t used to the new plan. Their mission today was only to humiliate Macerio in front of the public and get him to confess his crimes, which was all! Not the fucking suicide plan!"
"What are you talking about, you silly asshole? You can never beat me in terms of everything. You are only a psycho and not a true mafia member. A psycho with bloody needs!" He spat out fighting to search for his inhaler.Yes, I am, and you see, all your men are at my service. Monad is dead, and I did it. Vincenzo is dead, and I did it, and guess what?"What?""Maine was the one who sold your real location to me and had me plan this event earlier. So you see, I am always a step ahead of you." Nathan continued to grin as he brought out Macerio’s pills and inhaler from his back pocket. He threw it at him like a piece of dog and watched him struggle to reach it. And when he finally did reach it, Nathan continued."Don’t bother taking it. They are all counterfeits! I made sure your health worsened by conniving wit
On The rooftop of Macerio’s house.The loud party noise made it impossible for both Asher and Olive to focus on the game they and Macerio were playing. A while ago, Macerio’s birthday party kicked off. There was nothing that could ruin the party. Nathan was distracted, and the party seemed perfectly fine.His guards were on the lookout for any sort of mishap that might disrupt the happy movement of the party."Cheers to my long life and wonderful prosperity," Macerio added as he clicked glasses with Olive and Asher. He chuckled happily as he sipped elegantly on the sweet, expensive white wine. "To think that I won’t be alive when I clock eighty"Hmm," Asher responded as he concurrently checked his message tag log for any new message from Dianne. A few minutes ago, she had texted him with an emoji sayi
He smirked once again as he reminisced about last night. Never had he thought that one day he would have a blissful sleep without encountering any form of nightmare.Something about this was quite fascinating. She came into his life, and now he had a perfect night. What else can she do for him? His selfish mind wandered off, thinking about the possibility of having Ashley stick around for some months, even years. He stopped thinking, left the room, and headed straight to the dining room, where he met the hot-cheeked Ashley alongside Catherine."Boss Nathan," She greeted politely while moving out of the dining room to the mini kitchen to finish setting up the table with delicious meals. Her eyes glanced at Nathan, who lazily sat on the chair while scrolling through his phone screen. Seeing this, she dragged Ashley into the kitchen."Why didn’t yo
The weather turned a little dull as night approached, quite sooner than they had expected. Through the side mirror, Levi looked at Nathan, who seemed lost in thought."Are you still bothered about how tomorrow will turn out? As long as we stick to the original plan, everything will go perfectly. Olive is on our side," Levi winked with a bright smile on his face while mentioning Olive, Monad’s right-hand man. This was meant to be a surprise gift, but it appears that he has to give it to him right now.His left hand plunged into his right pocket and brought out an actual invitation card to Macerio’s eightieth birthday. How did he get it? That was not that difficult."Olive? You mean Monad’s guy?" He lazily frowned, sat up properly, and laid his head on the chair. Nathan’s face had a scowl, and his brows creased, annoyed at his action when he heard
