2018Williams I entered Raíz alongside Green Eyes, I noticed her hesitation probably because she wasn't expecting the fancy environment . I couldn't help but smile, as her expression of shock was endearing."It's okay, you're perfect," I assured her, and I meant it. Her purple dress beautifully brought out the color of her eyes, while her skin seemed to glow under the ambient lighting. Even the shy smile she offered in response to my compliment was captivating.I placed my hand on the small of her back as we made our way into the dining area. Upon approaching the host, he promptly inquired about my reservation. While a reservation wasn't necessary for me, I handed him my card, which revealed my status as a Stone.

2018Williams My father and I sat in the backseat as an associate mafia member drove us to our destination: the current location of Fabian. He was smart enough to change his residence, knowing we would come for him, but it wasn't hard to track him down again, especially since we have eyes and ears everywhere. We are the Scorpiono Mafia, and our reputation precedes us—the ease with which we silence those who cross us, and our strict code of leaving no stone unturned. Fabian should have known better before crossing us."Are you ready?" my father asked, looking at me with the same expression he had when I was younger and too scared to protect my family's name.Now, I know what's right."You trained me to always be ready. Why would I go against that?" I replied confidently."Good, because we're here," he said as the car slowed to a stop.We parked a short distance away from the location so as not to raise any alarms.

2018Williams It was the first time in a long while that I had attended one of these meetings.I could see how hard my dad was trying to involve me more in his mafia group, but I doubted it would work out. With a busy life, research to conduct, and a social life that had become more captivating, here I was, listening to how their fight went . It definitely wouldn't work out."You should have seen how we dealt with them. I'm sure they'll never mess with us again," Antonio boasted."I can assure you those guys will never come near our warehouse again," Marco chimed in, prompting laughter from the group."You can never be too sure," John cautioned calmly, as if recalling something from his past. "The Double Axe Mob always finds a way to come back, no matter how much we deal with them.""No, this time, it's for real," Antonio insisted, chuckling.
