Naevia gets into her car, placing both papers down where she can see it. She mostly played the paper with the address on the other, so she can find her way to her destination.About starting the car, Naevia looked up and saw her worried husband, standing at the entrance of the mansion, looking at her.She stared back at him, but soon took her eyes away from him. Starting the car and driving out of the premises.Zane watched her. He would have followed her, but what's the point of it? It's not like if he goes after Naevia she would forgive him.He has been watching her, secretly attending to things without him being around her. Whatever she has been doing, she has been doing it away from him.The young Mafia boss feels dejected. He goes back into the mansion, feeling frustrated with the situation of his marriage with Naevia..On the way, Naevia asks for directions from passers by she comes across. Some weren't familiar with the address she made mention of, while some, who had a hint,
"A safe? I never knew about it. The only safe I recur, is the one belonging to my father in his room. The time I saw the safe, my father had driven me out of his room and warned him never to be near there," Naevia said, recounting the past.Hearing this, Naevia's Aunt scoffed and asked, "Does that hypocrite possess such?" Naevia stared at her Aunt. The old woman smirked at Naevia and said, "Your father has nothing, not even a safe of his."From the way she spoke, Naevia suspected that her mother's junior sister knew a lot more about her father than she did. Curious, she asked, "Do tell me everything that happened. From the time my father and mother met, till the time she died. I want to know everything."Naevia's Aunt stared at her niece. She gave a curve to the lips and hummed. "With pleasure my dear. It's a really long story, but I'll still share it with you," she decided.Naevia felt her ears spring up. She couldn't wait to know how her parents met, and if really love brought them
Naevia gazed at the key with the code marked on it. She slowly picked it up to look at it. The code on the key looked like a date. "This looks like a date. Zero one one zero seven nine. October first nineteen seventy nine," Naevia called the number.When Naevia's Aunt heard this, she chuckled and responded, "You're right Naevia. It's a date. Your grandfather's birthday."Naevia lifts her head to look at her Aunt then back at the key. Her mother had used her father's birthday to code her safe.Naevia remembers her mother's innocent face. She feels hurt knowing that her father killed her and even tried to kill her Aunt too."As my mother wishes, I'll honor this request of hers. Will get what rightfully belongs to me," Naevia said confidently.Naevia's Aunt smiled at her niece. She wished for her success and prayed that she gets what belongs to her.Naevia spent more time with her Aunt. She knows she'll have to leave soon, but she needs to stay with her and feel the love of her mother on
Towards midnight, Naevia stepped out of the bedroom, after successfully placing her drunken husband in bed.She couldn't leave him right there on the cold ground, and with bottles close to him. He could get injured or sick from the freezing ground.During these few days of silence and malice towards Zane, Naevia still had much care for him. But her anger and hatred towards her father prompt her to pass them on to Zane. Since they were both in cohort, before her marriage to him.But hearing him speak in his unconscious and drunken state, Naevia felt sad and had no choice but to forgive her husband.She placed herself in his shoe and imagined herself doing everything Zane had done, just to keep the one he loves."I would have done the same thing too. Try to protect the one I love from knowing the truth. It's hurtful, so I understand," Naevia said, standing closer to the bedroom door.She shut it finally and walked away from there. Heading down the stairs, Naevia met Kelvin and the two o
The next morning, Zane wakes up with a headache. He groaned and sat up in bed. Wondering how he ended up there on the bed.All he could remember from last night was drinking and sitting on the ground depressingly.He wondered if he had laid on the bed himself. But he immediately doubted it, because his shoe wasn't on his feet anymore.He was sure that he didn't take his shoe off last night, and couldn't have covered himself up properly.Zane's heart sparkled. He had a feeling that Naevia had come into the room last night to see him. "Who else will come in here if not Naevia? She was here last night," Zane said.The young Mafia boss feels happy. Knowing that Naevia still cared about him despite his actions.All he wants now is her forgiveness. He hoped and wished that Naevia would forgive him soon, because he was missing her dearly.Zane stays for some more minutes on the bed, just to get himself again. Once his headache had reduced, he got out of bed and went to clean himself up.Done
Still fighting outside the mansion, Kelvin notices the fire blazing out of the mansion; he's shocked and rushes towards it.Naevia is inside and he gets worried. Trying to get in, but unable. The wooden door fell, blocking the way. Making it hard for Kelvin to go in."My lady!" He yelled out into the burning fire. Hoping Naevia can hear him. He decides to find a different way out of the fire, but is attacked by more of Arnold's guards.Kelvin has no choice but to fight them off and find a way to save Naevia before it's too late for her..Meanwhile, inside the flaming mansion. The happy daughter to her enemy, Naevia, found her mother's safe, which contained the inheritance in it.In order to make sure it is indeed safe, Naevia pulled out the key and checked the code. She typed it out and it unlocked."It worked!", Naevia cheered. Not bothering to check the inside, Naevia closed the safe back. The safe immediately locked up, and she carried it up.Gladly and luckily for Naevia, the saf
Naevia coughed out, rising from the ground. She looked at her father, who got his balance and looked at her angrily.Arnold is about to take his gun to shoot Naevia, but he suddenly hears the sound of burning woods at the entrance, being bashed from outside.The force used, sent the burning ceiling above Arnold, crumbling down. Arnold moved quickly before the wood landed on him.He gets mad on seeing his home crumbling into flames before his eyes. So much hatred rises within him. "Your bad luck as a child has ruined my home!" He cursed Naevia.Arnold took out his gun and pointed it quickly at a weak Naevia. He places his finger on the trigger to shoot, but is shocked to hear the sound of a gunshot.Arnold paused and looked down at his chest. He found himself bleeding. He looked up at Naevia and saw her with the revolver he had gifted her.Naevia, who's trying to get herself, shoots Arnold again right in the chest. He groaned and fell on his knee.Naevia got up from the ground with her
After some hours had passed, towards the evening, Zane stood in the garden, talking to the doctor on the phone.The doctor gave Zane the results from his check up and told him to always watch over Naevia. "I'll do that doctor. Thank you," he appreciated.He disconnects the call and makes his way out of the garden. His eyes fell on the mansion, with a smile creeping across his face.Zane headed back into the mansion and straight to the kitchen to get a glass of pineapple juice for Naevia.He made his way to the bedroom and met Naevia still sleeping. After their reconciliation, Naevia fell asleep in Zane's arms. He knew how stressed out she was, so he laid her down and left her to rest.Coming in, he smiled at a sleeping Naevia. Approaching her with a glass of pineapple juice in his hand.Zane placed the juice aside on the table and sat beside Naevia. He stroked her hair gently and lovingly.Naevia, who was asleep, woke up. She tilted her head and found Zane beside her, smiling. She man
Weak, Naevia could hear a voice talking to her. It was a male voice. She felt the touch of this man, caressing her face and resting his head against hers.The feelings she was getting from this man were so familiar. It made Naevia's heart crave for this man.The moment she heard the words 'I love you', Naevia realized who it was."Zane!" She called out. Waking up out of her unconscious state."Mummy is awake!" Dean rejoiced on seeing that Naevia's awake.Naevia heard his voice. She turned to her left side and found Dean with one of her guards. She looked around and realized she's at the hospital. "How did I get here?" She asked, looking confused.Before she could even get her head around what had happened, Dean's arms came on Naevia. The bed is bigger than him, but his arms were able to touch Naevia.Naevia looked at the little one as his eyes came on her, followed by that adorable smile on his face. It immediately warmed Naevia's heart."I knew you'll wake up. How are you feeling Mum
Zane remained close to the window, looking at Naevia. She laid unconscious on the bed, while the nurses attended to her.The Mafia Lord felt his heart weaken at the sight of this. He turned back to look at his trusted guard. But Kelvin was already at the entrance, stepping out.Zane turned his attention back at the window and saw the nurses taking Naevia out of the room.He stepped away from the window then made his way to the entrance. The door comes open and the nurses stepped out with Naevia on the stretcher.Zane moves closer to look at Naevia. Her eyes still closed, her face so weak. He wanted to touch her, but stopped. Instead, he followed the nurses to the special ward meant for Naevia.It's a room for one person, patients with high class. The nurses took Naevia inside and placed her on the bed.Zane followed them. Entering into the room to see Naevia. He sees the nurses covering her up.The nurses allowed Zane to sit beside Naevia, while they stepped out of the room for him to
"Who were you talking to Dean? " He maid asked Dean. Walking up to the little one."It's no one," Dean lied to the maid, still holding the phone.The maid smiles at Dean and takes the phone. She places it back where it belongs and tells Dean that she knows he was trying to réach out to Kelvin."Your Mummy will be fine okay?" She said, patting the little one on the head.Dean nods at her. He watched the maid walk away. Leaving him to watch the TV. Dean feels unhappy. He looked at the phone, wondering if he should pick it up and call back again."Someone might see me," He said, looking worried.Dean held on to his colouring book, looking at the TV. He's not pleased, but had to pray within for a good result.Meanwhile, Kelvin and the guard arrived at the hospital with Naevia. The guard parked at ententrance of the hospital.There was a doctor and a nurse at the entrance when the car came in."What is this ?" The doctor questioned, finding the driver's way of driving rough.Before he coul
Pablo groans, coughing and spitting out blood from his mouth. He tries to rise up to his feet, but is grabbed by Kelvin again.Kelvin dragged Pablo up by holding his neck. The weak and bloodied mouth Pablo, saw this as his chance to attack.He throws a punch at Kelvin, who immediately blocked Pablo's fist from nearing him, before he kicked him right in the stomach.Pablo groans and coughs out more blood. Falling to the ground and squalling in pains."As greedy as you are, you didn't hesitate to sell almost all the expensive lamps and Dean's expensive toys. I don't mind doing this all night Pablo. I'm going to beat all that money out of your system," Kelvin said angrily.He grabs Pablo for a punch, in which Pablo manages to avert, before serving Kelvin his own. But it wasn't that powerful enough to knock Kelvin down.Rubbing his lips from the impact given by Pablo, Kelvin said, glaring at Pablo, while he tried to get his stamina back, "You really are stupid. I was expecting a mercy or
Kelvin tells Dean to go and get changed. Assuring to give him his gifts once he's changed into a new clothes.Dean happily agrees and races for his room in excitement. The maid and Naevia chuckled. The maid bows at Naevia and follows Dean from behind."You're now his favourite, Kelvin. He's been waiting for you to return, so you two can play together," Naevia shared with Kelvin.Kelvin smiles on hearing that. Deep down, Kelvin knows that he's not Dean's favourite, but Zane.Before he travelled for the mission, Kelvin has been dropping Dean off at school. The little one talks about Zane a lot. That's how Kelvin knew that Dean likes Zane more than Pablo."Well that's sweet of him. I know he'll be rushing to get himself ready to have his toys and snacks," Kelvin said, laughing out next.Naevia joins him in laughing. She knows that Kelvin is right about that.While they were talking, Pablo walks pass them without looking their way. Kelvin noticed him. He sees Pablo exiting the mansion and
The days went by as always. Naevia followed Dean to school like always and went to the pack sometimes to get herself on track, while Pablo continued with his secret theft, selling and making his money.When Thursday came, Naevia was at home resting. She didn't feel like going out to do anything. She only went out to drop Dean at school before returning back home to relax. She decided to spend her days at home instead of the park like she has been doing lately.Where she was in the living room, talking to one of the guards concerning a work, Naevia heard Kelvin's voice.She turned her attention towards the entrance and sees Kelvin coming in. He was on the call with someone. Naevia is pleased to see him. She has really missed her loyal and faithful guard.Kelvin gets closer to Naevia and greets her with a smile on his face. Naevia is happy. She asks about Kelvin's trip and the mission. Kelvin let's her know that everything went well."How have you been? You're looking fresh my lady," Ke
Time for lunch, Naevia steps out of her room. Feeling depressed within, she decided to step out of her room. Now that she's trying to get herself on track, Naevia didn't want to let sadness to draw her down.She came down the stairs, making her way to the dinning room. That's when she heard Dean's voice, calling out to her.Naevia looked at the entrance and saw Dean running inside the mansion. The guard who went to get him from school, was following him from behind.Dean rushed towards Naevia and embraced her from the leg due to his height. Naevia smiles at the little one. Patting him on the back. "Welcome my love. How was school today?" She asked."School was fine Mom. I had fun today. My teacher got us all a lovely board to write on. Then we had fun watching the TV. The A, B, C kiddies show," Dean shared with Naevia.Naevia chuckled and said, "That's good dear. Thank goodness that you're home early. It's dinner time.""Hurrah!" Dean rejoiced, hopping around Naevia.Naevia smiled at
After her practice, Naevia decided to return to her room and rest a little while. She had a napkin in her hand, damping off sweats from her forehead. She made her way through the path, and out into the living room. Her eyes falling on the couch and the TV that was on. Pablo wasn't there. She had thought he returned back to the living room, but she doesn't see him here. "My lady. Do you need something?" A maid asked Naevia. Standing beside her. Naevia looked at the maid and said, "Get me something to drink please." "Alright my lady," The maid said, turning around to leave. Naevia immediately asked for Pablo from the maid. She wanted to know if he went back to his room. The maid tells Naevia that Pablo left the mansion with a bag of clothes. "Bag of clothes? For what?" She asked. The maid tells her that she doesn't know. Naevia sends her to go and get her the drink and bring it up to her room. The maid obeys, and leaves Naevia's presence. "With a bag of clothes? Where is he head
Tuning in to another station, Naevia lowers the remote down and lays back to watch. She had switched it to a different station. It's also a movie station, but has more action and less romance.Pablo had seen the mood Naevia was in when she changed the channel. He doesn't say anything, but watches the TV with her.As they were watching, another guard came in with another document in his hand. He shows it to Naevia.Pablo sees them again. This time, his eyes were fixed on Naevia and the guard. He watched her point out some things in the document for the guard. "Keep it short, I don't want long term work," She ordered.The guard obeys her. Taking the document and exiting the living room immediately.Naevia turned to face the TV. She spots Pablo staring at her, and asks him what he wanted.Pablo smiles and said, "I'm really amazed with the way you're handling this work of yours. You look just like those bosses in those big companies. Like a CEO." He smiles at Naevia.Naevia doesn't smile
