It was peaceful, with Decker driving back home. But my heart was drowning in an unknown swamp alerting terrible news waiting for me.

Where we were, it was a heaven, a place where nobody knew us, but reality sucked in.

The reality of Decker and me, him as a Mafia lord, and me?

I saw my town pass from the highway, and it reminded me again that I had to meet the Sheriff.

I wanted to know who killed my brother. Decker pulled my hand in his and pressed his lips on my knuckles.

He pressed another kiss on the inside of my palm.

“None of this is your fault. He was dead because he deserved that.”

I furrowed my brows at him. “How could you s

    We reached our destination; the weather was soothing as I stepped out of the car holding Decker’s hand.“I hope you enjoy here,” he uttered as we entered the club area.“I don’t know anyone,”“You know me, and that is enough, my flower,” he added.I squeezed Decker’s hand as we approached the last tented seating area.Unwanted eyes were gawking at me, and it was hard to resist people scanning me like that.“Why is everyone looking at me like this?” I whisperedDecker’s hand pulled my waist towards him as he husked in my ears,“I warned you,” a devilish smile sprinkled looking at my swells,My heart was drumming anxiety coiled through my body, looking at the two men in black who stood guard just behind the owner as we reached.“Hello, Decker,” the old man stood holding the cigar in his hand.“Hello, Boris,” Decker took a step and hugged each other.Boris’s eyes landed on me.“Chto za krasota,”(What a beauty)I blinked my eyes.

    It’s her birthday morning. Adele happily received all the birthday gifts from Decker. “Happy birthday, flower,” Decker kissed her forehead and presented a red velvet box in her hand, “What’s this? Don’t tell me...” “Oh! My God,” Adele’s eyes sparkled with the glimpse of a stunning cushion-shaped brilliant diamond shimmering through that red velvet box, “It’s big,” looking at her reaction, Decker chuckled. “Big? I was looking for something bigger than this, but...” “Decker, it’s beautiful. But I am scared to wear such an expensive thing; what if I lose or damage it?” She looked weary.

His teary eyes, looking at her silhouette, went away from him. Suddenly a man came from the other side, and there Adele ran and hugged him. “Elijah,” The way he hugged her ignited rage in Decker’s body; he stood and dashed towards them. “Elijah, I lost everything. My life has become a fulfillment...,” Adele snuggled her head on his chest as Blaise made circles on her back. “Don’t cry, Adele. I am here for you.” Elijah, being the man in love with Adele, spoke the words that work as gas in the fire.

    Margarita looked out at the moon, standing next to the fountain. The breeze played with her long curls, emphasizing the coldness. She was not expecting her dad to reveal the situation like this. She heard the footsteps approaching in her direction, and she was not willing to talk to anyone right now. She rushed towards the garden, thinking she could hide. “Margarita,” a voice brushed in her ears, and the goosebumps started to crawl out from her skin. She didn’t turn because she knew she would look weak and vulnerable in front of Samson. Margarita’s fingers tightened around the edge of her dress, her knuckles turning white. She could sense Samson’s presence behind her, the weight of his gaze, the unspoken words that hung in the air between them. But she remained committed, determined to protect herself from the pain that had once shattered her world. “I know... I have never missed an opportunity to hurt you, but we both know how much...” Samson whispered close to her ear; she turned

    Three of them went inside. Samson could feel the resilience aura coming his way from Mateo. His presence might have been accepted by the Italian don but by the brother of Margarita Costello.The room was filled with a tense silence as Decker’s sharp gaze fell on Samson, his expression unreadable. Mateo stood by, observing the interaction between the two men.“Samson,” Decker’s voice was steady, his tone devoid of any warmth.“How are you now?”“I am... better,” Decker gestured toward a chair, indicating for Samson to sit. As they settled around a table, the atmosphere was thick with anticipation.“Mateo, could you please call everyone? Our friend here came to have dinner with us,” Decker instructed, his eyes never leaving Samson.Mateo nodded and left the room, leaving Samson and Decker alone for a moment. The silence was tangible, and Samson could feel the weight of Decker’s scrutiny on him.The silence filled with the click of glass when Decker poured whiskey into two glasses and dr

Adele looked at Elijah with concern, her heart aching for the man she once loved deeply.“You look beautiful,” Elijah stammered.Adele smiled thinly and shook her head, withering away the worries about what was happening outside.“Is this because of the bullet in your spine?” Adele asked gently, her voice barely above a whisper.Elijah nodded slowly, his lips twisted in pain as he struggled to speak. “Yes,” he uttered. “I got punished for what I did.”Tears welled up in Adele’s eyes as she reached out and cupped Elijah’s hand in her own. “No, Elijah,” she said, her voice filled with emotion. “You didn’t deserve this.

He finished, placed his cigar back on the ashtray, and looked sideways to see the lifeless body of Capo on his patio. His face twisted in disgust and anger. He looked at the man who had once been his friend, his ally, but was now nothing more than a hindrance to his plans. “Your blood stains my patio, making it dirty,” he muttered, his voice cold and devoid of any remorse.“I thought your son was better than you, but these Costello bitches always win the men with their charm,” he greeted, his teeth watching over Elijah as he made his way to the patio.“Don’t look at me like this,” Master rolled his eyes, watching Elijah’s judgemental eyes.Capo’s phone started to buzz on the coffee table, displaying the name “Samson” on the screen, but Master didn’t bother to pick up.

    The room was shrouded in darkness, the heavy curtains drawn tightly shut, blocking any sliver of light from the outside world. The only source of illumination was a single dim lamp perched on the edge of the heavy wooden desk. Its soft glow created dancing shadows on the walls, adding to the eerie atmosphere of the room.Capo sat there, a solitary figure amidst the darkness, his face partially concealed by the shadows. The lamp cast a faint light on his troubled expression, revealing the lines of sorrow etched on his face. His eyes, filled with a mixture of grief and determination, remained fixed on a picture of his beloved son, Aslan, which lay on the desk before him, his handsome face smiling back at him, and tears welled up in his eyes.“I’m so sorry, my boy,” Capo whispered, his voice choked with emotion. “I never got the chance to tell you the truth. I wanted to explain why I punished your mother. Why I had to make the choices I did.”His mind drifted back to the painful memories

Thanks for taking care of me.”Margi nodded, her heart heavy with the weight of everything that had transpired. “Of course, Sarah.
