"This place isn't good for her," I argued.

"Then she doesn't have to know what this place is." my mother chimed in, "She knows what? That you're rich only. That's what the world knows."

"What's wrong with you having a rich family as well? Safety is necessary so that's why everyone is carrying guns," she added, straightening up in her posture.

I looked her straight in the eyes, "I am not keeping her in here."

"You don't have a choice, Keith. This is Leonard Whitaker we are talking about. He may have been your best friend when you were just a kid but things have changed now. He is toying with you. He knows how much you love Jenna! He'll just keep giving her scratches to taunt you until he finally kills her!"

"Enough!" I shouted, slamming my fist into the car window and shattering the glass on contact, "She is my wife and I know how to protect her! I'll just have to explain to that bastard that I didn't kill his father as he thinks-"

"You've tried that before, Keith. How did it work out

    JENNA POVSoft morning light filtered through sheer, cream-coloured curtains, casting a warm glow over the opulent room. I stirred, feeling the silk sheets against my skin and the plushness of the mattress beneath me. I stretched luxuriously, a smile playing on my lips, enjoying the unfamiliar comfort. My eyes fluttered open, taking in the high, intricately carved ceiling above me. The chandelier, adorned with crystal droplets, sparkled in the morning light. And then boom! Confusion washed over me and I bolted upright, clutching the satin sheets to my chest, my heart pounding. This wasn’t my bedroom. The bed I was in was enormous, surrounded by ornate, antique furniture. A grand vanity stood across the room, it is surface cluttered with elegant bottles of perfume and exquisite jewellery.My gaze darted around the room. To my left, a door led to what appeared to be a luxurious en-suite bathroom, the marble floor gleaming and the fixtures gleaming gold. To my right, a sitting area w

    KEITH POVMy mother’s eyes narrowed, the flicker of a challenge sparking in their depths. She took another slow drag of her cigarette, her lips curling into a slight smirk. “I’d expect nothing less from my son.”I turned away from her, my heart heavy with the weight of my decision. Jenna’s safety came first, even if it meant diving back into the life I despised. I walked back to the car and slid into the driver's seat, casting one last look at the figures silhouetted in the dim light of the compound.As the engine roared to life, Jenna stirred beside me, her hand weakly reaching out to mine. “Keith… what’s going on?”“Don’t worry, love,” I whispered, squeezing her hand reassuringly. “I’ll explain everything later. Just rest for now.”She nodded weakly, her eyes closing again as she leaned against the seat. My hands hardened on the steering wheel. I’d agreed to return to the fold, but I hadn’t surrendered. There was still a way out, a way to protect Jenna and dismantle the empire my

    I clenched my teeth, my knuckles whitening around the phone. "You know damn well why I'm calling, Leonard." "Where is she?" I demanded, my grip on the phone tightening even more.Leonard laughed, a cold, chilling sound. "Ah, yes. Sarah. Quite the clever girl, isn't she? Escaping right under your nose. You must be slipping, Keith.""Cut that crap! I know very well you took her from here. Just what are you planning, Leonard?" I glared, anger filling me to the brim.Leonard laughed. "Sarah? Oh, she's safe. Safer than your precious Jenna, I might add."My blood ran cold. "Don't cross me, Leonard," I warned. "Where is she?" I demanded, my voice a low growl."You know I can't just give you that information for free," he replied, his tone smug. "But let's just say she's somewhere safe. Somewhere you can't reach her.""Relax, my friend. I'm not a monster. Well, not yet at least. But you see, Sarah and I have some unfinished business. Plans. And you... you have something I want.""You're insa

    JENNA POV"He got her out." Keith's voice was like a crack of thunder, his eyes blazing with fury as he stormed into the room. His presence electrified the air, adding to the tension already thick in the room.Eleanor rose from her seat, her composed demeanour unshaken. "Keith, calm down. We were just about to explain everything to Jenna."Keith's gaze softened slightly when it landed on me, but his anger was still present. "Jenna, are you alright? Did they hurt you?" he asked, his voice gentler now, filled with concern as he closed the gap between us.I shook my head, feeling overwhelmed. "No, I'm fine. But Keith, what's going on? This woman said she was my mother-in-law. I don't remember much after Yilena—" I broke off, my mind flashing back to the moment of the syringe.Keith took a deep breath, showing how relieved he was. He ran his hand through my hair, bringing my head forward to place a kiss on my forehead."I never thought you had that much emotions in you." Eleanor chimed i

    JENNA POV"Laura?..." I echoed, trying to piece together the fragments of information this Richard guy just shared with everyone. Judging by Keith's reaction, it was someone close. Someone they all were familiar with, believed to be dead, and now alive. The room seemed to buzz with tension as everyone's attention shifted to Keith.Keith's face turned pale, and he seemed momentarily paralyzed. His mother, Eleanor, stepped in, her voice steady and firm, attempting to take control of the situation. "Richard, are you certain that she was the one you saw? Where did you see her?"Richard nodded vigorously. "Yes, I'm sure." Richard then turned to Keith, "You remember you told me to get intel? Well, this is one of them.""I got feedback, along with these photos. It appears that she lives with Leonard. We haven't found out how it became possible yet but she doesn't seem forced." Richard explained further. l, taking out the pictures he had tucked away in his pocket.Keith finally seemed to sna

    KEITH POVAs Richard and I drove towards Leonard's home, my mind was a whirlwind of emotions. Seeing the photos of Laura, alive and well, had brought back a flood of memories and unresolved feelings. I couldn't believe she was with Leonard, the man who had caused so much pain and chaos in my life."Keith, are you okay?" Richard's voice broke through my thoughts.I nodded, though I wasn't sure if I was. "Yeah, I just... I need to know what happened to her. Why she never reached out."Richard glanced at me, concern etched on his face. "I get it. But we need to be careful. Leonard is dangerous, and if Laura is with him willingly, there might be more going on than we realize."I took a deep breath, trying to steady my racing heart. "You're right. We can't just barge in without a plan."As we neared Leonard's estate, I felt a surge of adrenaline. Yes, Laura's unexpected return stirred up unresolved feelings, but I couldn't let it cloud my judgment. Jenna and our unborn child depended on me

    YILENA POVI stood right next to Big Mama (Xavier's mother) while she went on and on about something I still couldn't put my finger on."Why would you want Laura to be brought back?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at her."Isn't it obvious, sis?" Nicola answered me, getting up and crossing her arms together, "It's a way to bring back the old Keith. The one who everyone in the Mafia fears in heart and soul."I scoffed, "And how is Laura being back going to make that happen? I don't understand.""And that's why you are not my favourite around here, Yilena." Big Mama said to me, a smirk finally playing on her lips as she continued, "Bringing Laura back will only create conflicting emotions in Keith. I know my son that much.""That's right. Will he know who to choose? His first love... Or his second chance at love?" Nicola added."He'd choose Jenna of course. I mean, she even has a child for him. How will he ever abandon her?" I said, standing my ground in my belief.Nicola burst into laughte

    JENNA POVI had barely slept. My thoughts kept racing all night. I turned over in bed, reaching out for Keith, but his side was empty and cold. Suddenly, I remembered where I was and a pang of loneliness hit me. I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself. Today was going to be tough.I got up and headed for the bathroom to splash some water on my face. I stared at my reflection in the mirror, the dark circles under my eyes a testament to my sleepless night. "Pull yourself together," I whispered to myself. As I headed downstairs, I heard voices in the living room. I stopped at the bottom of the stairs, listening. Big Mama was talking to Nicola, their conversation hushed but intense."Keith won't be able to resist her," Big Mama was saying. "Laura is his Achilles' heel. He'll be back to his old self in no time."Nicola replied, "Jenna's days may be numbered here. Poor thing." with a mocking tone in her voice.Although I didn't understand what their conversation was supposed to mean

    KEITH POVThe line went dead, and I put the phone back in my pocket. I stepped out of the car and waited, leaning back on the car booth.I could feel Lorah's movement in the booth and it was so tempting to pull her out and finish her off but I waited patiently for Leonard to show up first.My eyes scanned the surroundings. Every shadow was a potential threat.Finally, headlights cut through the darkness, and a sleek black car pulled into the alley. Leonard stepped out, his face a mask of confidence and arrogance. Leonard smiled when his eyes landed on me and I gritted my teeth. My arms which were folded together, tightened.He thought he was in control, that he had the upper hand. Little did he know, tonight would be his last."Keith," he greeted, his voice smooth and composed. "Where's my wife?"I scoffed, pushing off from the car, "Did you come because you loved her, or just to get rid of a witness?"Leonard's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean, Keith? Of course I love my wife. Where

    KEITH POVI never knew Laura had a twin sister with the name Lorah. I never thought that the twin would hate me so much that she'd plot with Leonard to kill me herself."Why?" I asked, although I didn't really care. I doubt her reason would save her from what I had in store for her."Why?" she chuckled, "because you hurt me Keith. You chose my sister over me even if I was the one you saw first. Love at first sight? Pfft! You fucking married the wrong twin!" Lorah spat.I squatted to her level on the ground, staring into her eyes with mine as empty as I felt, "I'm glad I married your twin. I'd never love someone as evil as you.""Evil? Keith, you are evil itself!" Lorah screamed in my face and I took out a handkerchief from my pocket to wipe my face before standing up straight.I turned away from her before speaking orders to Cecilia, "tie her up and throw her into the booth of my car."Cecilia nodded without hesitation, grabbing Lorah by the arms and dragging her out of the room.

    LAURA POVI couldn't have been more happier when the news of Jenna's death reached me. Sadly, I had to pretend to be sad about it to everyone but now that I'm alone in my room, I can finally smile at least.My phone buzzed in the pocket of my Jeans and I scanned around, shutting my bedroom door afterwards, before finally picking up.It was a call from my sweet husband Leonard, the man for whom I've gone this far in this scheme."My love." he started and I blushed, "I heard the news of her death. How is he taking it?"A smirk played on my lips as I responded, "very badly."I could imagine the grin on his face right now."Very good. That means that at this point, his guard will be let down. Do you still have the poisoned blade I gifted you?" Leonard asked.I took out a small key from my pocket and unlocked the bottom drawer next to my bed, taking out a dagger after I opened it."Yes," I answered, ready to take his orders.It's funny how they believe my husband will be the one to kill Ke

    KEITH POV"Doctor, will he be fine?""He will. He just fainted from too much stress, lack of food for possibly the last four days, and overthinking as well. He needs to take it easy or who knows what might happen.""Alright, doctor.""Make sure you keep a close eye on him. Force him to take the medicines if you have to. His health depends on it, Mr Richard.""I'll make sure he recovers." Richard's voice echoed in my head with other voices mixing in all of a sudden, "thank you for your help."I squeezed my eyes shut when I was almost blinded by the light in the room."Where the fuck am I?" I asked, not sure if Richard was still in the room or not.I sat up and after a few seconds, my eyes opened, adjusting to the light.I was in a small, sterile hospital room. The sterile smell of antiseptic filled the air. Richard came closer and sat on a chair beside my bed, his face etched with worry."You're awake," he said, relief evident in his voice as he leaned forward. "How do you feel?""Like

    KEITH POVI pushed back harder, my desperation turning into raw fury. "I'm not going anywhere until you tell me what I need to know!" I shouted, my voice breaking.Two officers grabbed my arms, trying to drag me away, but I fought back, wrenching myself free and shoving one of them. My vision blurred with rage and fear. I swung wildly, my fist connecting with an officer’s jaw. The commotion drew more attention, and I could hear the murmurs of the crowd growing louder."Tell me! What was the victim's name?!" I yelled at the officer whose eyes filled with fear as I stared into his eyes with anger.He didn't speak until I raised my fist to Puch him."We don't know the victim's name! Just her face from CCTV footage!" the officer yelled, shielding his face.My eyebrows, once furrowed, now relaxed while my raised fist weakened, "the news said..." my voice trailed off."It's just one victim. We don't plan on meeting any family member or investigating the woman!" he confessed."What?!" I exc

    KEITH POVI drove around aimlessly, trying to think of where Jenna could have gone. My mind was a storm of anxiety and regret. How had things spiraled so far out of control? Eventually, I parked the car in a quiet spot and pulled out my phone. I had to try calling her again, even if she wouldn't answer. My fingers trembled as I dialed her number, praying she would pick up. The phone rang and rang, but there was no answer.Frustrated and helpless, I decided to call Richard. He answered on the second ring."Keith? Did you find her?""No," I replied, my voice strained. "She left the hospital. Do you have any idea where she might go?"Richard was silent for a moment. "Not at all, Keith. I guess we'll just have to wait and see if she returns on her own.""Wait and see?" I snapped. "We can't just sit around while she's out there suffering.""Keith, calm down," Richard urged. "I understand you're worried, but we need to think logically. She might need some space right now."I knew he was ri

    KEITH POVRichard's eyes darted nervously before he tried to muster a calm facade. "I wasn't hiding, just trying to get a better signal," he replied, his voice shaky and unconvincing.My grip on his shoulder tightened. "Don't lie to me, Richard. Who were you talking to?" My voice was low, menacing.He swallowed hard, clearly struggling to maintain his composure. "It was a private call, Keith. I swear it has nothing to do with Jenna."I leaned in closer, my face inches from his. "Do you really think I'm in the mood for games? Tell me the truth, or you'll regret it even as my friend."Richard's eyes widened with fear. He glanced around, as if searching for an escape, but there was none. Finally, he sighed, his shoulders slumping in defeat. "Keith, I'm not sure how you will take this news...""Spill it."Richard sighed deep, "Jenna... had a miscarriage at a nearby hospital just now."The world seemed to freeze around me, Richard’s words echoing in my mind like a cruel, relentless chant.

    YILENA POVWe quickly boarded the second plane, my heart pounding with a mixture of fear and determination. Richard took the pilot's seat, while I settled into the back, preparing the parachutes and planting Jenna's dress in the plane. Everything had to look convincing.The engine roared to life, and as we taxied down the runway, I glanced out the window, hoping our plan would succeed. Richard's voice came over the intercom, tense but controlled. "We're about to take off. Ready?""Ready," I replied, my voice steady despite the adrenaline coursing through me.The plane lifted off the ground, and as we climbed higher, I double-checked the parachutes and ensured everything was in place. Richard began the distress signal after five minutes in the air, his voice urgent and convincing as he reported engine failure and a possible crash landing."We're approaching the designated area," he said over the intercom. "Get ready."I took a deep breath, securing the parachute straps around me. "Let's
