Eating dinner at the dining table was so awkward as to be precise! Don Dada and I were not on perfect terms so it was awfully quiet there, just the sound of cutlery against the plates.

"What is going on? I am not comfortable, are you guys fighting?" Elyse inquired. She looked and felt better then.

"Table manners, Elyse." Don Dada said calmly but affirmatively, shutting her up.

"No! I refuse to be shut up. Something happened between you two, right? What happened sis?" She turned to me and I rubbed her hands gently over the table.

"It's nothing, Elyse." I replied to her.

Then, Don Dada stood up abruptly from the dining table and left for the first floor.

"Idrio! Brother!" Elyse shouted but he refused to stop or listen.

"Did anything annoying happen? He rarely gets this angry." Elyse asked me again and I was really short of words.

"It's something little. He will be fine, just eat up." I assured her.

When we were done eating, we retired to our beds. My heart remained heavy as I lai

    I was in his room till day break. I had caught a cold a bit and Idrio could not stop nagging all through. Alongside nagging, he was panicking, putting calls through to doctors so I could get treatment."It's just a little cold, Idrio. I will be fine." I said gently while lying on the bed. He shot me a dreadful glare and I sucked my lips in nervously. The doctors came and checked my health condition and administered treatment."It's a minor cold and she will recover from it very soon." The head doctor said after he was done checking me. "See? You were worried for nothing." Elyse chipped in. She was so pissed, feeling like he was overreacting whereas she did not know the main issue. The doctors left and it was just us again in the house. Idrio sat at the edge of the bed, placed his hand on my forehead and caressed my hair. "I won't take it lightly if you do this again." He said with a straight face and Elyse scoffed. She was obviously still beefing him for pushing her out of his way

    "Eyes focused, shoulders up, relax, keep your eyes on the target." Idrio instructed as he stood closely behind me, adjusting every part of my upper body so I could pull the trigger perfectly.We were in the middle of a gun shooting training, in the forest far behind their mansion. There was a dry part of the forest that was quite open so we used that part. There were bottle targets many meters away and I was supposed to shoot and hit the target. "You are good to go." He muttered and walked away from me, then he blew the golden whistle he had with him, signalling for me to shoot. Feeling enthusiastic about it 'cause I had been preparing psychological for it, I pulled the trigger. But then it was like nothing happened, even though I saw the bullet fly out swiftly but I missed, and there was no sound of the gun. "Did you install a silencer?" I turned to Idrio and asked. He nodded, "I did not want you to get startled since it's your first time."I shook my head vigorously, disagreei

    "You are all fools!" Luciano flared up angrily. I had slipped a live recorder object into his pants pocket earlier when he hugged me without him noticing. Nothing much though but I wanted to know what Luciano's reaction would be. That would boost my joy and energy even. We all were listening from the second living room on the second floor. Me, Idrio, Elyse and Ray. "He sounds madly annoyed." Elyse commented."All of you are fired, incompetents!" Luciano yelled again and I folded my arms against my chest and crossed my legs. "See who would be losing men by his own hands.." I drawled."That makes it even easier." Ray replied and I smirked. We all fell silent for the next thing he would say. I guess Nick was the next person to receive a blast. "Seeing how you failed such a simple mission, I guess your mother's life is not important to you after all. The moment I withdraw from paying her hospital bills, do you know what would happen at all? Her treatment will stop and she will die

    "The day is finally here, sis." Elyse said as she walked into my room. I was already dressing up for the big battle. I had Idrio get me a black gear outfit and it was so mad. It was a fitted, leather outfit that had so many outer and inner spaces where guns, pocket knives, whip and other portable weapons could be inserted in.I finally zipped up the chest and then I packed my hair neatly into a bun. Elyse touched up my face with a smokey makeup theme because I had ordered for that. "Whoa you look like a real Mafia now." She squealed excitedly and I smiled. Looking into the mirror, I realized she was not exaggerating.This was the woman I had always wanted to see. The resilient one, who was not afraid of anything or any human on earth. Claire Keys.I wore a pair of black boots then I stepped out with Elyse. She was not going to come with us actually for her own safety. If I had not brought in my stubbornness and log head, I was very sure Idrio would have me stay back in the house.We

    We did not get Luciano but his empire was taken down. It was sure that the whole city would be rocking by morning. Police officers, ambulances and all. We got back home around 4:30 AM and I headed straight to my room without speaking with anyone. Even Elyse tried to talk to me the moment we were back, I guess she had been up, waiting for us. "Not now, Elyse. Let's talk later, please." I said to her and headed to the first floor. As I got into the room, I locked the door and sat on the floor, running my fingers through my hair. Then I found my way to the bathroom to wash up. Wash off the stink of Luciano from me. I was angry, deep down. My blood was boiling so much and I needed to just cool down before I could open my mouth to talk to anyone. I was under the water for close to an hour. Not feeling satisfied, I filled the bathtub with water, poured foamy soap and just laid inside it. I closed my eyes and let myself absorb the chilliness.I did not know for how long I was there but

    It was about three weeks later, a month since Luciano and gone missing but Idrio did not give up on looking for him. Life has gotten so much better and we were all doing just fine.That morning, I woke up feeling sicker than the day before. I joined the family for breakfast after washing up and after we were done, I followed Idrio to his study, claiming to want to see him.He kissed me playfully when we got into his study room. "You wanted to see me...huh?" "Yes, Idrio. I would like to step out with Ray today." I said and he raised his brows, looking confused."Where to?" "No idea, yet. I just want to get some peep into the outside and I mentioned Ray because you would definitely have him go with me.""I will just go with you." He offered, turning around to look for his car key probably but I stopped him. "There's a whole lot for you to do, that I know very well. I will be fine, as long as Ray is with me." He was so reluctant to agree to that and that was not his fault actually. L

    Elyse looked like she could practically jump out the window as she glued herself to the window. It was so obvious that she hardly sees anything outside the four walls of that tall and huge mansion.As Romano drove the car deeper into the hearts of the city, even I found myself reminiscing on the days I spent in the city. Nick would kill for an opportunity like this but I made sure to keep him busy with Desideria and that’s the only reason he doesn’t know I’m out of the house.The car zoomed past Sky Villa’s cafe and bar and I felt a sense of longing for the place where I worked off my butt at. Alex must be so worried about my suddenly disappearing and leaving work without any notice. The man might act like he’s the hardest person there is but he’s the world’s softest ball.

I wasn’t sure of her plan to escape without Romano yet but she seemed to have it all planned out. It was then that I realized she has it planned long before we even came here at all. It was why she asked to go with me to the store. And now there’s nothing I can do about it.“Once again Elyse, we’ll be back in front of the store after an hour, okay?

    Claire's PovDon!It was Don. No one else kissed like that, no one else gripped me in such a way. His scent, no one else had it. I was hallucinating, right? Don was dead. It has been months. I needed to get this off my mind. But no, I couldn't. Even if I wanted to, tonight wasn't the right time because I felt his body, his build, only one had that.I had just taken Davidson to the toilet and dropped him off with his Nanny when I was heading back inside for the birthday party. It was time I announced Don's death to his friends, but now my mind had been changed.I ran towards Romano when I saw him coming with Elyse. "Don" I panted. Elyse came over to my side, easing my breathing."What happened?" Romano asked."I saw Don. I met…I…it was Don…he kissed me. I recognize his smell, he's…Don""Claire, be calm," Elyse said.

I already informed you, your memory first before stepping out of here" he said."Why don't you just tell me what happened? I trust you.""Brad asked me not to. You need to remember yourself. You know all the details, the anger would be fueled in you if you remember yourself."What anger? Why did I need to be angry? Did something bad happen? He wouldn't tell me."It is my wife's birthday today. There is a party and you asked me not to go. I am not hurt anymore, I am healing from the wounds, what else is making me stay back?

    Claire’s POV I sat in front of my mirror, doing my routine skin care as usual. A pregnant woman still had to look pretty and peng. Tomorrow is my birthday, by the way. Intermittently, I caressed my bump, feeling how rounded and big it was. I also couldn't wait for my baby boy to get here. My EDD was due anytime soon. I just hope it doesn't happen tomorrow. Just as I reached out to grab a pimple popper from the vanity table, my phone on the bed rang. That should be the baker. We had agreed that she should deliver the cake today so that there would be no unnecessary delay tomorrow. Only my hair stylist and makeup artist were going to come tomorrow as early as possible. By the way, the dress I was going to wear tomorrow was also ready. I couldn't wait. Before I could push the stool backwards and fetch my phone, the ringing was already exhausted. Fortunately, whoever the caller was called again and I picked up on the second ring. It was Davidson. “Hellooooo, Claire!” Her cheerful voic

    Romano's POV I was back with Brad and we both watched and listened, waiting for Don to start talking. It seemed kind of difficult at first because it looked like he was putting a strain on his ability to remember but eventually, he began to talk. Brad stood nearby, concern written all over his face. “Take your time, Don. We’re here for you” He encouraged, his voice reassuring. I nodded in agreement, eager to hear him speak already, so we would know how far his recovery had gone. Don’s eyes closed for a while, then fluttered open some moments after. “I remember, Claire. She was my wife. I remember her scent. It was like….fresh flowers, maybe lilacs, or even lilies” He recalled. My heart swelled with emotion. He was indeed getting better. “Okay, what else do you remember?” I pressed, hoping to hasten his ability to respond He closed his eyes, trying to struggle. But Brad calmed him. "It's okay. Perhaps you remember something about a lodge?" He asked.He was stretching his memory

There was an oxygen tank beside, it wasn't just that, a lot of other medical equipment followed.This wasn't our honeymoon, was it? I tried to search my memory for how I got here.

His gaze met mine and I raised my eyebrows, not believing Romano could blush.He ushered us in without hesitation and offered us a glass of juice."So, what's the plan for the baby shower?" Romano asked."We were thinking of renting a multi-purpose hall," I said. "But then we thought, maybe it would be better to have it, at your house, Romano," I said, according to Elyse's idea."My house? Why's that?" Romano asked."Well, it's a family celebration, and we thought it would be more intimate and cozy at your house," Elyse said. "Plus, it's a lot safer than a public hall.""That makes sense," Romano said. "My house it is, then." Was he responding only because Elyse wanted it to?"Great," I said.

We'd just finished lunch, and Elyse couldn't get over her excitement about the baby shower I was planning.I laughed. "Slow down, Elyse. I've barely had time to think about it. But I do know I want something simple and intimate. Maybe just close friends and family."I was almost due…oh, I could feel this baby coming and I was excited at the thought of going into labor and birthing Don's son.Elyse nodded. "That sounds perfect. And I've already started thinking about baby names. I have a few favorites for a boy."I raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What are they?"Elyse grinned "Well, I think 'Atticus' is a great name. Or maybe 'Ethan'?"I chuckled. "Those are both nice names. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. W
