“You are welcome to my house.” Kim’s eyes widened in surprise as she didn’t expect him to grant her wish.“Really?” Kim’s eyes twinkled.“Yes. But your brother is not allowed. I don’t want him to go near my wife.”“I understand, Sir. So, when can I visit her?” She asked.“Anytime you want,” David replied.“Can I visit her now?” She asked, which made David shake his head.“We will visit Mariane’s mom. Maybe some other time. If you want…” David gave her a calling card with his name on it. “Call me if you want to visit her at my house.” He said.Kim nodded and bid goodbye to him as George turned the engine on.

David also ordered that no man can get close to Mariane, apart from him, and to George, if he gives orders to him, who is his secretary. Agatha also always follows Mariane to pay attention to Mariane's needs. But upon leaving their room, David's other maids looked at her with a grimace.

Do you want to get fired?” Geneva, David’s mother, was in a rage when the bodyguards did not allow her to enter the house.David instructed his bodyguards not to let anyone in, especially if they were not living in the house with them. He must be called first to confirm that the visitor will be allowed into the house. As David wants to avoid the sudden visit of Kim to their house.

Or I will fire you all!” She threatened them.“What is going on here?” The commotion had stopped when David came out of the house. He signaled his men to let her mother in.Geneva sneered at the bodyguards before she pass through them.“I want you to fire your men,” Geneva ordered before kissing David on his cheeks to greet her son.“Don’t be mad at them, mom.

The Collateral (Possessive Mafia) Ch25 - David’s childhood past
David was three years old back then. It was the first time he met his biological father. It was three in the afternoon, Geneva brought him to a restaurant. At first, David was happy that his mother took him for a walk outside, but he was very surprised that they had someone else with them.“Mom? Who is he?” He asked.“Son, this is your dad, Alfred,” Geneva informed him.David immediately hid behind Geneva when he saw the frowning face of a man in front of him. His strong aura makes the poor child shiver in fear, and he looks like he has not yet accepted the little boy as his son.“Before I accepted him as my son… Let’s have a DNA test first.” Alfred said, making Geneva stunned.“Don’t you believe in me? Look at him. He looks like you, why do we need a DNA test?” She asked as she tried to change Alfred’s mind.Geneva wasn’t sure who the real father of David was. And it confused David too. This was the second time that David's mother introduces him to a man and calls him his father. Dav

“Master, Mariane’s mother, and her friend, Kim was outside of the house,” George informed him.“Let them in. Also, ask the servants to prepare food for them.” David ordered before he dismissed George.When Anastacia and Kim entered the house, they both gasped as they were amazed by its size. They never thought they would be able to enter such a big house. Before, they could only see it on television, but now they can even touch its furniture.“Good morning, Mrs. Ramos,” David greeted.“Good morning too. May I ask if I could talk to Mariane?” Anastacia politely asked.“About that, Mariane was still in bed, sleeping,” David informed them, which made Kimberly frown.“At this hour? It’s almost noon. Why is she still sleeping?” She asked.“About that, she’s been sleeping a lot lately. I just let her take a rest. But don’t worry, her butler will wake her up,” David informed them.“Do you want some juice, coffee, soda, or tea?” He asked.“Water is fine for me,” Anastacia said.“Me, too.” Kim
The Collateral (Possessive Mafia) Ch27 - Invitation
Mariane came out of the room with her knees still trembling. She was wearing a Gray colored oversized hoodie jacket and black leggings.

Fortunately, their house was airconditioned and she wouldn’t feel hot. Kim’s brows furrowed when she saw Mariane walking down the stairs fully covered with her clothes. What’s lacking in her outfit was a scarf, to cover her head and face, so only her eyes can see. “Are you cold? You were fully covered.” Kim bluntly said which made Mariane glare at her but said nothing. Anastacia, who was sitting next to Kim, poked her, which made Kim look at her innocently. Anastacia looked her in the eyes and shook her head. She was trying to say not to make comments as David was following Mariane from behind. He was now wearing his coat. Kim narrowed her eyes at the coup
The Collateral (Possessive Mafia) Ch28 - Permitted
George informed David that he brought Diego into their hideout, where they usually bought people to torture or if they wanted to talk about something confidential with the people underground.The hideout was like a two-story abandoned building, rusty and had a stinky smell when you were at the entrance. Before reaching the entrance, you need to pass through the narrow hall, going to the secret door that looks like a frosted glass panel bathroom door. As they opened the door, the elegant chandelier welcomed the guests. There were also five white couches. The servants will welcome you and would immediately pour wine into the wineglass and serve it to you. There were five rooms inside. The first was David’s office. The second room next to it was where the weapons were being stored. The third room was on the second floor, and it was where they used to practice fighting. The fourth room was a torture room.
