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. Because he thinks that Mark might come and visit Mariane with his sister, Kim.“Let me in! 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. They were just doing their work. I am the one who ordered it.” David said, and he let his mother inside the hous
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.

“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. David chose them for her as he didn’t want the men in the mansion to drool over her body. Mariane had no choice but to wear them as well. So, she could hide the love bites, David did to her body. 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. It had a thick glass window inside and was connected to the other room next to it, w
The Collateral (Possessive Mafia) Ch29 - Class Reunion
Mariane woke up early as she felt nauseous. ‘Damn… What is happening to me? Ugh! Probably I have acid reflux again.’ She thought while caressing her stomach.Even if Mariane was not feeling well, Mariane forced herself to prepare for their class reunion. It will be her chance to go to their school and to send her letter to Mr. Sponsor, whom she hadn’t met yet. ‘You can’t be sick this time. It may be your last chance to know who might really is Mr. Sponsor.’ Mariane talked to herself in her reflection in the mirror.Luckily, David was gone early. Because if David caught her vomiting in the bathroom, he would probably not allow her to go to the reunion. And all of her plans were gone wasted.Mariane wore a simple white printed shirt. She paired it with tattered pants and white sneakers. She even tied her hair into a messy bun. She wore a sling bag and put the letter, phone, and extra money inside. She looked at herself in the mirror again and noticed that she looked pale, so she put on
The Collateral (Possessive Mafia) Ch30- 3 Years Ago (The first time David saw Mariane)
It was almost late at night when Mariane went home from school. She was apparently around the corner from their home when she heard her parents shouting and crying. Her forehead furrowed when she listened to her mother begging her father.“Diego, please... Don’t touch it. I worked hard to save it for our daughter’s tuition fee. I’m begging you.” Anastacia pleaded while clasping her hands as if she was praying.“I’ll give you money tomorrow. Just don’t get that money I saved for our daughter. It’s for Mariane’s school.”Diego spits on her, making Anastacia flinch. “I don’t care! If she wants to study, she should work!” Diego wiggles his foot as he was struggling from Anastacia’s grip.“Get off my feet before I’ll kick you!” He warned.Mariane's eyes widened, and she immediately ran the distance from where she was standing until she arrived inside their house. Mariane was panting with her hands clenched as she saw her mother Anastacia kneeling while hugging Diego’s leg. Her jaws tensed
The Collateral (Possessive Mafia) Ch31- 3 Years Ago (Mr. Sponsor)
It was three o’clock in the morning when Mariane got home to their house. She entered slowly, so as not to wake his mother. But it surprised her to see her mom, sitting on the chair, waiting for her to come home. Mariane noticed the dry blood on the side of Anastacia’s lips, which made her sigh.“I will treat your wounds,” Mariane said and took the plastic from her bag.She sat down next to Anastacia and began treating her mother’s wounds.“Where are you from? Why did you come home late?” She asked her daughter.“I found a job at a nearby bar,” she replied.“Why did you look for a job? You don’t need to work anymore, and I can still support your school fees.”“You don’t need to. Just give it to Dad instead. So he won’t beat you again. Don’t worry about me. I can handle myself,” Mariane coldly said.When she finished treating Anastacia’s wounds, she immediately stood up and went to their room. Exhausted, she threw her body on the mat and did not mind changing her clothes. She stared bl

She bit her lower lip and winced.“I was about to tell you after our wedding as my wedding gift, but it seems like you knew about it now.” Mariane pouted disappointedly.David sighed. “Love, you don’t have to be disappointed. Don’t worry. I will act like I never knew about your pregnancy.” David smiled while trying to comfort his wife.“By the way, who else knew about this matter?” she asked, alarmed.“I haven’t told anyone yet, except for Stacey.”“Oh,” Mariane suddenly felt sad and frightened upon mentioning the name of the person who cause her wounds in the cheek.David held her hand. “Don’t worry about her. She said sorry and will turn herself in at the police station. I also called some reporters to clear out your name
