Roses and Gunfire: The Price of Devotion Jonathan Reid
After the meeting, Venna and Maureen lingered in the office, their nerves still frayed from the tense atmosphere. They turned on the TV, as was their habit, to catch the news and see if anything relevant to the mafia world or their operations was being reported.The others didn't speak because this was what they were used to doing with women in their mafia. There are only three women in the upper echelon of La Xiena, so they let them do what they want as long as it doesn't harm La Xiena's interests.Now that Amethyst has quit, there's only Venna and Maureen left. Even though Amethyst's position is vacant, they still have no intention of replacing Amethyst. After all, Amethyst has been with them since the beginning, and even though she has quit already, she still has a place in it.They immediately felt bored when they watched the usual news on TV. Nothing has changed; most of it is still about the government. The usual headlines flashed by—political scandals, economic updates, local c
Roses and Gunfire: The Price of Devotion Protect her from the dark.
The tension in Dylan's office was thick, suffocating. It was like a hand that choked them until they were unable to breathe. This is not the first time, but they hope this is the last time they will feel it. Dylan's aura is really no joke, and if this continues, they will surely suffer.Venna and Maureen had delivered their painful truths, and the weight of their words hung heavily in the air. They didn't finish the words they said to Dylan. At that time, for them, the more painful, the better. This is for Dylan to calm down from what is happening because, during this storm, they knew that it wasn't the end. They knew there was an even stronger storm coming their way.Dylan's anger, once a blazing inferno, began to subside into a cold, hard resolve. Little by little, he realized everything just based on what Venna and Maureen said. In his mind, they're right. Half of it is indeed his negligence, and it is normal for them to blame him. His eyes, once wild with fury, now reflected a dee
Roses and Gunfire: The Price of Devotion I've faced worse, and I'll face this too
Amethyst sat on the edge of her bed, the room cloaked in the soft darkness of the night. She felt like this was all her dream—no, a nightmare.The hum of the city outside was distant, almost dreamlike, as she stared at the packed suitcase by the door. She couldn't help but feel the weight of tomorrow pressing down on her, making her chest tight with a mix of emotions she could barely contain.Sure, she doesn't want to get married. However, if this is the last chance to make her mother and aunt feel safe and free, then she'll do it. She'll do it even if it will cause her freedom.Well, that's not the only reason. One of the things that Amethyst is holding on to are Dylan's last words. Yes, it hurts, but if this is the only way, then maybe that's okay. Amethyst has gaslighted herself many times just to cheer herself up because, otherwise, she would have run off with her mother and aunt a long time ago.Maybe also, at this time, they are wanted, and they are like criminals being pursued
Roses and Gunfire: The Price of Devotion Trust no one
Amethyst just sighed as silence returned around her. After talking with her mother and aunt, Amethyst made sure they were comfortable in their beds and stayed with them until they fell asleep. Because she doesn't want them to see that she is not her and is at ease with what is happening to them now. Even though Amethyst told them not to worry and that she was okay even if they weren't, she knew that those two would worry and still worry. After all, those two are two of the most important people in her life. She didn't want them to see that she was struggling. It's better if they don't know that she is struggling in her life.The house was quiet and almost made her feel like she's losing her sense of hearing; the only sounds were the gentle breathing of the AC and the occasional creak and tic-tac of the old wooden clock in the room.Amethyst returned to the living room, sitting back on the sofa, her mind racing with thoughts of the impending wedding. She wrapped a blanket around her sh
Roses and Gunfire: The Price of Devotion Knives at each other's necks
The grand hall was filled with the soft murmur of guests, the glint of crystal chandeliers, and the quiet rustle of expensive fabric. This is the most anticipated event in Amethyst's father's life. With the number of benefits he will get after marrying Amethyst, he will really wait for this day to come. Not only that, he also did everything he could to watch over Amethyst because he knew that even if she agreed, there was still a chance that she would run away.For Carl, he felt happy. It's good that her daughter has gotten used to him.Amethyst stood by Jonathan Reid, her soon-to-be husband, in a fitted white gown that shimmered with every movement. Despite the grandeur of the event, her eyes searched the crowd with cold innocence. Jonathan Reid doesn't know why he sometimes feels like someone is watching him, and when he turns his eyes, there is no one else around but Amethyst.At that time, Jonathan doubted if there was anyone else around besides the two of them. He couldn't give A
Roses and Gunfire: The Price of Devotion Matter of intuition
It didn't take long for Jonathan and Amethyst to be busy again as they received guesses. Amethyst has yet to see her family apart from her mother and aunt, but she is sure they are just looking for a chance to talk to her. Well, Amethyst thinks that Carl can see at this time the things that he may lose if he cuts ties with Amethyst. However, Amethyst didn't care about that.She really wants to get the hell out of this family as soon as possible. Since the divorce between his mother and his father is also valid, there is no longer any hope that he will be in the palm of his father's hand. That's his biggest regret in life—that he didn't hold on to the two women in his life who could have given him more money.His ego is too much, after all.Amethyst stood in front of Lia, Maureen, and Venna, who approached her again to give greetings, gifts, and their messages. Well, this set-up was normal again, so Jonathan just watched them. Also, Jonathan doesn't want to make a mess either. Amethyst
Roses and Gunfire: The Price of Devotion Stay out of matters that don't concern you
Two weeks had passed since the wedding, and Amethyst had settled into a new routine. It's changing, but Amethyst needs to adjust as soon as possible because she's the only one who'll be in trouble if she can't adjust properly. Also, it is for his safety. Amethyst needs to know the structure of the house, the number of doors, windows, and rooms, and what kind of room it is. He also needs to know the secret passages, if there are any.One of the things that opened Amethyst's eyes was the house they were staying in; it was not the usual house of a new couple. Jonathan's house was a hub of activity, with people constantly coming and going. Who in their right mind would let someone break into their house when they are newlyweds? None other than Jonathan.Even so, Amethyst ignored it. For him, it was a good opportunity to talk to some of the members and get information that he shouldn't have. Well, it's only been two weeks that he's been living here, and he can say that he's learned a few t
Roses and Gunfire: The Price of Devotion Sooner or later
Amethyst stood by her bedroom window, watching as a sleek black car pulled up to the house. A man emerged, his demeanor exuding authority. She recognized him immediately, even from a distance. She had seen him before, mingling with Jonathan's associates. Her curiosity piqued, and she decided to take a risk.Another person visited today, and she's sure of that because she has never seen him before. Even when she and Jonathan were married.Quietly, she left her room and made her way to Jonathan's office. She moved with purpose, masking her intentions with an air of casual indifference. As she approached the door, she could hear muffled voices.Amethyst couldn't help but feel bad because, at that time, there was no guard outside Jonathan's office."La Victima Mafia won't last much longer if Dylan keeps this up," the visitor was saying. "Our spies in La Xiena Mafia are all dead."Amethyst's heart raced. He couldn't help but smile at what he heard. Sure enough, it is still La Xiena who is
