[Juliette’s POV]

I want to slap that man. ‘Are you saying that I’ve been secretly talking to Ralph behind Papa’s back?’

‘Have you?’ The lawyer was heaving in fury.

How dare he. ‘Betray Papa?’ I asked, my own fury matching his. ‘Are you asking me that right now?’

‘Yes.’ His eyes bored into mine, challenging me to avoid the question like a guilty rat.

So I held my chin high and held his gaze. ‘I’ve not seen Ralph since that time in the ladies’ room. Ask Janet. She has all my schedule. Ask the driver. He follows me everywhere. Ask Agatha. She’s with me all the time at the mansion.’

‘These are all your people,’ retorted Uncle Jerry.

‘Really?’ I chuckled bitterly. ‘Did I hire Janet? Or the driver? Or Agatha?’

‘Agatha basically raised you. So she’s on your side, of course.’

I stepped forward, teeth gritting in anger. ‘ASK HER THEN. Why don’t you? She’s loyal to Papa. She’ll tell you everything.’

‘Juliette knows nothing.’ Father intervened. He gave an eye to Uncle Jerry which immedia

    [Juliette’s POV]It was a week after that. To find Ralph’s evidence, I’ve got to start from Ralph’s contract with Papa, and Uncle Jerry drafts all of Papa’s important contracts like the ones that concern the Lux assets. And Uncle Jerry has a habit of keeping a soft copy of every contract he’s drafted. So it must be in his laptop, which he carries around like his ID. If I’m Papa, I’d know of the contract’s existence. What do I do to evoke it? My best friend must know about it. Including those who are loyal to me and whom I can depend on for assistance. Then, my staff—and then my household. Now, how would I void the same contract without any legal consequences? How to convince everyone that what they thought existed never did?If I let only a trusted few in on the entire plan, then I only need to tell the others that they’ve been duped. People don’t like to be made a fool, but they also don’t want to appear like one. So if enough people believed what Papa said, the rest would follow.

    [Ben’s POV]‘I’ll take Bora Bora,’ said the Mafia King. ‘That wasn’t the option,’ Ben swiftly retorted. ‘Besides, the place is full. Are you sure your little mafia friends would like the bustle? I thought they’d appreciate a tad more tranquillity.’ Ralph sighed. ‘I don’t have time for your jealousy.’ ‘That’s right! I’m fucking jealous! You abandoned our twenty year old friendship for a fruit basket! And then you got the nerve to call me and order me to make reservations for your little rendezvous that I wasn’t even invited to! SO I CHANGE MY MIND, YOU UNGRATEFUL HANDSOME BEAR—YOU’VE GOT ONLY FIJI! TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT!’ And he tapped the red button. ‘Did you just flare up at the Don?’ Jewel’s eyes were round with aghast. ‘Are you crazy?’Ben looked equally nonplussed. ‘I believe I am.’ ‘You’ve made him angry, you idiot. He’s never going to Fiji now. And he’s not going to call anymore!’ Ben swallowed hard, already regretting his sudden outburst and pondering what to do next when

    [Ralph’s POV]Very soon, my limo came to a screeching halt. The six angry white vans stopped as well—in two neat files. Then, the doors burst open and out spilled the men in black suits like water from a broken pipe. I checked the rearview mirror and saw the black van breaking out in cold sweat as my army of black suits swarmed around my limo and charged towards it like piranhas. ‘They’re trying to run,’ huffed Robert, looking displeased. ‘Have faith in our brothers, Robert,’ I replied, just as the black van stopped again. Robert’s wide grin told me that the last three vans had arrived, blocking my assassins’ only escape route. *****[Tank’s POV]‘FUCK! LOCK THE DOORS!’ cried asshole sharp shooter Pete. Tank the quick dagger had never seen so many sharks in his life. He hastily pressed the button and the doors locked itself, just before the first dude reached their van. In a blink, the entire van was covered with these sharks in black suits, banging and knocking incessantly l

    [Juliette’s POV]‘And we’re back to pacing,’ announced Sarah. ‘We’re biting nails now, huh?’ ‘I don’t know what else to do, Sarah!’ I threw my hands up in misery. Sarah rolled her eyes and let out a weary sigh, then put away the magazine. ‘For starters, how about you sit down,’ she eyed the couch beside her, ‘and tell me what’s on your mind?’I did so obediently and began, ‘I want to get him back. But I know that he’ll push me away. He almost punched me the last time I saw him.’ With the squint of disbelief, she asked the most important question, ‘What did you say to him?’ And I told her. Eyes widened with a mixture of shock and condemnation, the Virtus wife shook her head profusely. ‘Girl, you might as well kill him yourself.’ Because of my belly, I could only slumped back and slammed my head on the backrest. ‘I know,’ I groaned, ‘now you know why I think I’ll fail before I even make my way over.’ ‘That’s the price you pay.’ Sarah shrugged. And the truth hit me. Just like tha

    [Juliette’s POV]I grabbed a pillow and swung it at that pretty face, and the woman bounced onto the bed with a loud ‘Oof’. Then, before she could recover and take control of Sarah’s—or my—hair, I slammed the tough pillow on her face, again and again and again… screaming with the might in each slam. ‘Get off me you bitch!’ huffed the home wrecker, her long, pink nails clawing at my arms like she was drowning. But Sarah, already recovered, grabbed my arm to halt my attacks so she could throw a real slap on that cakey cheek. ‘You’re the bitch, you bitch!’ She roared with my fury. ‘Didn’t you know that the Don’s already married? This is his wife!’The woman jerked back with furious eyes. ‘He’s divorced! Said so himself. Besides.’ She gave me a scan and scoffed. ‘Who wants an oil tank when he can have these!’ She pushed up her big tits and they threatened to spill from her low-V. Fury burst through my lips. ‘I’ll kill you!’ And my pillow started slamming once more. ‘You fat cow!’ She

    [Ralph’s POV]As if by itself, the gun vanished in a click. My eyes never left hers, searching those purple swirls as they shimmered and glistened, threatening to spill. And then tremors came. Fighting to pile up, layers upon layers, to cover it all up, wishing—praying—crying—for another way to break this wonderful news to me. Next, the reality of the truth and all that it meant came crashing down. Her system went down and her feet finally gave way. Once again, I was next to her before her knees surrendered and she was safely wrapped in my arms. And then the sounds came through. Sarah was staring at me. Relief seeping into her large shocked eyes, softening them. She studied my expression and huffed, ‘Don’t you dare ask me whose baby is it.’ I looked down at that beautiful creature breathing fine and softly and breathed, ‘Wasn’t going to.’ I swallowed to bring up a less shaky voice and asked, ‘How many—?’ ‘Going on five months,’ she replied, reading my mind. ‘Get the doc,’ I mut

    [Juliette’s POV]‘Agatha sent over the photos.’ Ralph was pouring me a glass of orange juice when he noted the phone in my hand and took it quietly. ‘Efficient as always,’ mumbled the King, his eyes rolling furiously. ‘There’s really nothing much.’ I took a huge bite off the buttered croissant and chewed carefully. ‘Just a bunch of people in the family I have to know.’ ‘These photos are from decades ago.’ He held up the phone and the people were in waistcoats and gowns. I nodded and swallowed before taking another bite, and Ralph returned to the photos. ‘Business was as usual for us. Lots of travelling. Lots of parties, lots of handshakes, lots of contracts were signed. Some of them continued on up to this day.’ Ralph was still scrolling when I asked, ‘What was happening with the Virtus clan at that time, do you know?’ The charismatic Mafic glanced up and said, ‘Not much. There were fights. Mainly with the ones who had the bigger piece of the Republic, or the better business for

    [Juliette’s POV]Elizabeth Lux. Ralph’s wide gaze was telling me that she was not from the Lux family. And then a million reasons sprouted, urging me to refute him. I opened my mouth, ready to fire away, and then that same golden brown gaze stopped me. Something was wrong. Ralph is telling the truth. And so, something isn’t right. ‘Her eyes weren’t purple in that portrait,’ he whispered, solemnly. ‘But I knew her the moment I saw her. It’s her. The same eyes… the same face. I know because she’s the only one smiling. Everyone isn’t.’ Ralph returned to the picture on the screen and added, ‘There’s always this sense of peace when I look at her.’ ‘I didn’t see her portrait back at the mansion.’ ‘I took it down.’ Ralph turned to me, his finger sliding down my jawline to my chin, and then his thumb brushed gently across my lower lip, and I felt them parting for him. His face moved closer and his warm breath kissed my upper lip, closing my eyes. ‘Come to think of it… you remind me a l

    [Chatri’s POV]The EMERGENCY sign was still lit up. Chatri couldn’t tear his gaze away from it, making sure the light doesn’t go out Across him, seated on the row of plastic chairs, nestled safely between his wife and his mother, his precious fourteen-year-old daughter was praying hard for her saviour too. It was near his heart. Guilt burned the back of her eyes. Ralph-kun… I blamed you for destroying the peace that we’ve paid with our blood and sweat to get. Yet, you did not leave me alone. You fought by my side. You kept your word. With your life. Is this the root of your men’s loyalty? Three hours ago, when they got to the van, her daughter was a crying mess, her almost naked body would have been in full display if it weren’t for that bloodied jacket. Ralph Virtus was sprawled at the van’s entrance, hanging on by a thread. Chatri had to get in the chopper. Footsteps snapped him back to the silent hallway. The ex-mob leader turned to them and Ralph-kun’s right-hand man was mo

    [Juliette’s POV]“My father has brought us to the next level—there’s no doubt about it. But as you can see, the charts do not lie. Lux Corp will not survive the casino’s first quarter if we sit back and do nothing.”I gazed firmly around the room. These so-called shareholders of Lux Corp. I need to break their resistance and knock some sense back into them. The oldest one of the group cleared his throat and muttered in a haughty slow pace, “So what you’re saying is: remove Harold Lux as Chairman and put you in charge.” Another guy quickly added, “We don’t do this sort of thing.” Then, the third man snorted in derision. “I’m actually surprised that you gathered all of us here today without the Chairman. If he gets wind of this—.” “He won’t if none of us talk about it,” I snapped, frustration in my throat. What’s with the surprised looks and frowns of disapproval? Aren’t they as much of a businessman as Papa? Can’t they see the signs? The fucking obvious signs! Suddenly, Papa’s de

    [Sarah’s POV]She can’t believe it. The unbeatable, ever invincible Don Ralph—the monster in the devil skin; a heartless murderer with the killer sense of an Olympic shooter; king of the world’s most ferocious mafia groups—is completely useless against an infant that’s less than an hour’s old. If it weren’t for Sarah’s fierce insistence and fearsome glare, he wouldn’t even hold his own child. ‘What if I break his neck?’ whispered the poor man, his eyes unable to stray from the tiny creature in his frozen arms. ‘Stop it,’ snapped the caretaker. ‘Sway gently, and you’ll be fine.’ She glanced at the bed and Juliette, who was sleeping soundly, and then back at the man, who would probably feel as though he’s on top of the world right now. Is he going to cry? ‘So what’s his name?’ asked Sarah, swiftly diverting those tears from crystalising. Without looking up, he muttered, ‘Milo.’ Then, he glanced at his sleeping wife and a proud smile appeared. ‘Milo Virtus. The first of the many.’

    [Juliette’s POV]‘I am not selling anything.’ Papa’s eyes were filled with so much distaste, I felt ashamed for calling myself his heir. ‘I’m surprised that I have to remind you of the rules now. You wanted a vacation, and I gave you one. Now, you can’t even remember the simplest thing.’ My mouth opened, my explanation ready like a debate team, but I clamped my lips tight. He doesn’t want to hear anything right now. Right now, he only wants to vent. We’re losing money fast since twenty of our suppliers had suddenly asked for a price review.‘I do remember them, Papa,’ I murmured sourly. ‘Then why are you even suggesting that we sell off our least money-making businesses?’ he demanded angrily. Because that could stop more money from going out! My mind was screaming like a child being blamed for something that she didn’t do. Isn’t it common sense? When things get rough, tighten your pockets! Or is this yet another test? But I’m so done with all the tests! With the baby about to co

    [Harold’s POV]SLAM!The sixty-ish fist slammed on the antique desk with the strength of a forty-year-old boxer. Even in his experience, there’s a limit to how much he can take. How did this happen? How did it slip by him unnoticed? The casino. He’d lost track. Damn his old man’s genes. They’re so useless, they made him useless as well. ‘You had no problems with the price for decades. Now, out of the blue you want—not one percent, not two—but a three percent hike?’ His knuckles were paling, bearing all the rage which only kept spiking. The calm voice at the other end of the phone irked Harold further. ‘My apologies, Mr. Lux. But you know how this works—we can’t hold down the price for any longer,’ replied the thirteenth supplier. ‘It’s been three decades since our last review. We hope you understand.’ Everyone wants his understanding. What about theirs? He’s cash strapped! Whose fault is it? If he didn’t build the casino for these bloodsuckers, he wouldn’t be stuck! If they weren’t

    [Juliette’s POV]And then it crashed onto me. Like a boulder. I observed those golden swirls in his eyes burning with hurt and that hurt clenched my chest. Utensils down and my mouth wiped, I reached across the table and covered his hand with mine. ‘Growing up, I imagine the Virtuses as cold-blooded monsters,’ I began. Those brown irises dilated with fury, and I slipped my fingers through that large hand and rubbed my skin against his to calm the fire. ‘Because of all the stories I’ve been fed—we’ve all been fed.’ To his tensed jaw, I muttered softly, ‘I must speak for everyone, Ralph.’ ‘You’re not telling me that your father was fed the same story. He came to me with the aim of stealing my family’s land, Juliette.’ ‘I’m not saying—.’ ‘Stop defending him!’ Ralph jerked his hand out of my grasp, fuming. But his eyes never left me, which was a good sign. So immediately, I leaned forward and pleaded, ‘I’m not defending him.’ ‘Then what the fuck are you doing?’ ‘I’m trying to te

    [Juliette’s POV]I smiled at the man gently resting his hand on my belly, so careful, so timidly, I almost couldn’t recognise him. Is this Ralph Virtus, the Mafia King? The one whom everyone calls The Devil? The handsome beast with the wits of a chess master. Those cold, fierce eyes were filled with so much fear that I wanted to hug him and squeeze those bad thoughts out of him. Those same golden brown eyes now widened in amazement as they swung up to me. ‘It moved.’ I chuckled and covered his hand with mine. ‘Of course it does, silly.’ He gazed at my stomach, his pupils dilating some more. ‘It’s kicking.’ He looked up, worried. ‘Does it hurt?’ I shook my head. ‘My chest just feels tight when it happens.’ Then, his ears were on my belly, listening intently. As amusing as it was watching his face change colour every second, I can’t help but worry that the next second something will happen to destroy this peaceful moment. As though he read my thoughts, his attention was back on

    [Ralph’s POV]‘D…Did you just—I knew it.’ Her eyes were shaking with such low confidence, I almost couldn’t recognise them. ‘You find me annoying now….’ Her hands slid off my chest in defeat. Is this what a baby does to a woman? ‘I did not say that.’ As soon as I heard my voice, I froze again. Shit—that was cold. Quick—correct it. ‘I mean—I don’t mean what I said.’ I tried to grab her hand but missed it. ‘Juliette….’ Her shoulders were shaking too. ‘Jesus… you’re not crying now, are you?’ What? No. That came out wrong again. What the fuck is wrong with me? She spun around in full rage. With tears gushing down her steamed face, she jabbed a finger at my shoulder. ‘YES! I’m crying like a clingy pathetic woman! And whose fault is it? Who put this thing inside me?!’ She pointed at her round belly protruding proudly through her skirt. “WHO?!”I laughed. It was unplanned. Before I knew it, I was already holding my waist to steady myself. My shoulders were shaking, my chest was rumbli

Of the baby dying inside Juliette’s stomach… or Juliette dying with the baby—yes. We were talking about that old fox and his shady business. My finger stopped tapping. ‘I’m closing all of it down.’ ‘No offence, nong Ralph.’ The Thai leader burst through. ‘My elders love khun Lux. It won’t be easy to shut them down.’ Chinh was frowning too. ‘You close down one, another will pop up. Who’ll say no to money?’‘Money and power,’ mumbled Andrei. ‘I’ve told you before. Harold Lux is well-connected. I can’t have the boys going against me. There are many who’ll have my head and you said that you’ll handle it. So all I have to do is focus on protecting my family from the ollies.’ ‘And this doesn’t change that,’ I repeated firmly. ‘I failed to see how,’ muttered the cool and collected Isamu. ‘Harold-san gi
