Aemon Cooper was facing a huge problem of finding a bride to marry in order to keep the power and the rank he has in the Mafia world. There was Lily David who was mourning after the death of his father and now, she was being controlled by her family. After Aemon met her at the funeral, he knew his problem was solved as he had already found his bride. Lily had no choice but to marry him. But, what would they do if they soon find out that the death of Lily's father was all because of Aemon Cooper—the man she married. How would she run away after being tied to a Mafia Boss?

"Sir, your grandmother is outside," his bodyguard whispered in the middle of his business meeting. His blue eyes that resemble the color of the sky remained at the man who was discussing a lot in front of them.
"Mr. Cooper, she's coming here if you don't come out immediately."
The secretary now intervened while he was still listening. They all know who is the person who can give a threat to a man named Aemon Cooper; it's his grandmother who can make him kneel if necessary. He doesn't fear death, but he fears his grandmother.
"Sir—"
"Reschedule the meeting," before his grandmother could even set foot in the huge room, he quickly stood up from his chair and left the room without explaining anything to them.
"What?" they whispered when he suddenly left when the speaker was near to end the discussion.
Aemon clenched his jaw when he saw his grandmother coming to the room. Good thing, he left early before she could start a show there. He gave her cold stares and continued walking along.
"Are you avoiding your grandmother?" she asked like a thunderstorm from her tough voice.
"I won't be here beside you if I am," he replied sarcastically and shook his head.
"Stop playing with me, Aemon. You know how serious the situation you are in and our whole clan! This is a bloody world, you need a bride as soon as possible!" she started to lecture him as they entered his office.
"I am not playing with you, grandma."
"Then where is the woman you promised me to meet?" she asked with frustration.
Bride, that is what he needs right now. But for a man like him who's workaholic and who doesn't even give an eye for any woman, it's the hardest thing to do. He has to get married at the age of 30. Their enemies are using that to create a hole in the wall he built. In the mafia world, a man without a wife who's strong enough for their world isn't suitable to be on top. And he is on top as of now. It is obvious that they are all aiming for his downfall and to get his throne.
"Just give me some time," he said and took a heavy breath.
"Gosh, Aemon. Look around you, there are a lot of women out there!" his grandma said hysterically.
"I won't marry a woman who can't stand the world we have. If I get married, I'm gonna make sure that she's not weak because the life we have isn't for weak people, grandma."
That made his grandmother shut her mouth for a moment. She just realized that Aemon has a point. He can't just marry someone, especially if she's weak. They need a woman who's brave, strong enough for all the sh*ts they have.
"I won't be waiting for long," she only said.
"I'm leaving. I have a funeral to attend,"
"Funeral?"
He didn't answer and left the room again. That is the funeral of a clan that is their alliance in this chaotic world. It was just recently when another chaos happened. There are a lot of people who died from the attack that happened in the middle of the traffic. One of them is Stella David, wife of one of the powerful and influential clans in the Mafia world. It was unexpected, and today is her funeral. Even Aemon was shot in his arm.
"We already sent the flowers there," his secretary said as the car was already moving.
"I won't be staying long," he said.
He's only going to show to the family that the whole family of Cooper is sympathizing with them.
"Yes sir,"
As they arrived in the church, everyone was seated and listening well to the people who were delivering their eulogies in front. There are people who are crying so hard. But Aemon doesn't care about their pain. Death is normal in the Mafia world. Why would they enter this world if they do not expect death? It might not still happen to all of them, but it will come on their way.
"I would like to call my lovely niece to give her eulogy for her aunt, Lily?" Mr. David said in front of them.
Aemon's eyes were locked to the woman sitting in the second row. It's obvious that she was not expecting him to call her all of a sudden. She doesn't look stunned by it though. Her eyes were only at him and he couldn't see any emotion from those. Aemon crossed his eyebrows. He could see her face yet as she was a bit far from him. But her skin was white like snow white and his hair was straight and long with blonde highlights.
"Come here, Lily." Mr. David repeated, faking a smile to Lily.
She wasn't expecting any of this. Her coming here is like a curse. If only her mother didn't force her to come, she wouldn't be here at all. Her father also died and they are all just grieving to her aunt who made them shut their mouths from his father's real death. It wasn't an accident, Lily knew there's darkness behind it.
"Lily," he repeated again. She crumpled her fist and shut her eyes for a while before she stood up in front.
Her uncle was smiling...it was an evil smile for her. She took a deep breath as she faced the whole crowd of grieving people. Aemon was in the fifth row, all his eyes were at her like he didn't want to miss any of her movements. Finally, he saw her now. She has almond hazelnut eyes. Double eyelids, thick eyelashes, pointed nose, and a heart shaped lips of her. Her face was fierce and obnoxious just like a person who loves black color. She was forced by them and she hates it. It's written all over her face right now.
But then, Aemon started to have interest even more.
"I have five things my aunt did that I will never forget for the rest of my life," she said while clenching the mic that she could already break it like a piece of pencil.
They are all waiting for her to continue her words. But then, Lily remained standing there, looking at them with nothing to say anymore.
"It looks like she's not gonna speak anymore," Aemon's secretary murmured while watching the woman there.
His eyebrow almost raised when he realized that. It only means that there is nothing good to remember from his aunt.
"What is she doing?"
"Why is she not talking?"
They were all whispering as the woman made them confused. Only few of them will understand that the woman named Lily did it with a purpose.
"Lily," another woman who seems to be her mother called her. But she remained standing there with nothing to say. Now, they are all realizing that.
"I'm sorry, my niece is really affected." Mr. David said and stole the mic from her. She was forced to take her seat again, but Aemon's eyes were still locked at her as if she's the only one he can see right now.
"Aren't we lea—"
"Call grandma," he commanded while all his eyes were on Lily.
"Huh? What for?"
"I found my bride,"
Chapter 91"I want his head," Lily said with her weak voice. "Lily!" Eliza shouted and now showed up running towards her. She was bleeding with all the wounds she just got."Are you okay?" Aemon asked and cupped her face softly."As long as the baby is fine," she uttered, catching her breathing. "We should leave," Eliza said. "No," Lily disagreed and stood up by herself beyond the pain that felt like hell in her entire body. With her knife on the shore, got washed with the water and cleansed the blood that painted it earlier, she picked it up and held it tightly."I said I want his head," she uttered. "What?" Eliza asked in surprise."I think you should not be here," Frederick said and held Eliza on her wrist."Gosh, your arms are bleeding, Frederick!" She exclaimed hysterically. "Use this," Leonora said and handed her a long knife bigger than her small knife. "I will do the honor," Lily said firmly. "That's brutal," Paul whispered. She looked at the ocean as soon as she began
Chapter 90It was filled with screaming from the innocent people who were involved in the war between them. The gunshots going around makes their ears ache. Lily was behind the car, holding her gun while breathing fast. Her other hand was holding her belly with a small smile on her lips. She never thought that she would actually face danger without Aemon beside her. "Lily," Leonora called and sat beside her with the gun. "All our men are here now, your Uncle just arrived.""What about Paul?" She asked."He's still not answering," she replied. "They are killing all the innocent lives here," Lily said and now stood up. They are not aiming for them yet. All they wanted was to clean up the place before they killed each other."Gather everyone and be ready," Lily ordered Leonora.She was scared. How can she hide that when it's running through her spine? In her entire body? It's fear that's eating her. But not because of what might happen. But because Aemon is not with her. She's so scare
Chapter 89"Ouch," Eliza uttered as soon as Lily's knife touched her cheek. Frederick was to the rescue and shed the blood on the small cut that Lily gave her using the small white cloth. "You should take it easy, Lily. She's a newbie," Frederick commented. Lily shook her head with a playful smile for him."You were hard on me when you trained me," Lily mentioned unbelievably. "None in this world would take her easy," Leonora said while playing with the knife in her hand. "I'm fine," Eliza said and disregarded the small cut. "You have to learn how to fight not for us, but to defend yourself. I would never be fine dying without trying to fight," Rafael discussed as he sat on the grass. The entire area was full of them, practicing their skills for the war. "Where's Paul anyways?" Frederick asked."He's still with my Uncle," Lily replied. "I wonder if they have another lead for Aemon," Leonora mentioned. It's been five days now since the accident. The war is near to end once that b
Chapter 88"I'm on my way, fvck!" Paul exclaimed and began to drive, leaving the place where Aemon and Lily got into an accident. His hands were shaking while driving so fast like the strike of a thunder. "Make it f-fast. I feel l-like dying, assh*le." Aemon said over the phone trying to hold on and live. "I'll be there. Just hold on, you can't die! I don't want to stand as the father of your chi—""F-Fvck you, w-why would y-you be my c-child's father?!" He exclaimed with his weak voice."That's why you must live!" Paul exclaimed. They hung up as Paul was on his way to the address he said. He can feel how much in pain Aemon was. That weak voice explains his current situation. He was in the ocean for 3 days and woke up on the shore. A child only found him and he asked him to give him some clothes. After that, he left to contact Paul as soon as possible. His plan must go on beyond his situation."Sir!" The maid called hysterically as she captured their eyes in the dining area. They w
Chapter 87"D*mn it," Leonora cursed out loud while scrolling on her phone. "What is it this time?" Raf asked in distress."It's all over the news now," she said and threw her phone towards Raf. Lily wasn't surprised anymore. Of course, they cannot hide it from everyone for too long. Even her pregnancy was discovered when they were hiding it to the world. "Aemon Cooper got into an accident with his wife," Raf read all the posts that people were talking about now. "Aemon Cooper is missing," he added before he turned off the phone. "I can't read this," he said and massaged his forehead."I guess my Mom will now know, right?" Lily asked and smirked bitterly. "I actually don't want her to know." She added. Of course, Lily doesn't want her to feel stressed about all of this. "Your Uncle knows. But then, he has been busy finding Aemon." Frederick said when he entered the room with Eliza behind her. They were holding food for all of them. "Grandma just died. Now, it's Aemon who's missin
Chapter 86"Did you make this?" Loenora asked Raf who made them all a coffee. "I did," he said with a proud smile on his lips. "It's just a coffee," Eliza said and took a sip."Are you offending me?" Raf asked."It's the truth," Paul uttered and chuckled."Ungrateful brats," he commented and shook his head. "You should have added a cre—" Leonora stopped when her cellphone rang."Make your own coffee," Raf said and glared at her."Who's that?" Eliza asked."I don't know," Leonora said before taking the call."Hello?""Good afternoon, is this Leonora Cooper?" The woman asked on the call. Her eyebrows crossed for a moment."Yes, speaking." She replied."This is Lee's Hospital, Aemon Cooper and Lily Cooper got into an accident. Are you related to them?" The woman asked, which made Leonora stand up all of a sudden with her eyes widened."Accident?" She asked in her stunned voice. "What's going on?" Paul asked immediately and stood up. "Yes, please come to the hospital. I'll send you t
Chapter 85"Lily," Aemon called as he entered their room. He found his wife laying on the bed with her eyes closed. Of course, she's upset about what he is planning to do. "Lily," he called for the second time and even combed her hair gently."If you're here to convince me with that plan, please leave me alone." Lily said and moved away from him. Aemon took a deep sigh as he stood in front of her."Lily, you know why I'm doing this." Aemon said. Lily chuckled and couldn't help but to wake up and face her husband."Aemon, we're married. You're gonna bring us there while you're all by yourself here?" Lily asked unbelievably and cackled."I have my cousi—""And if you die, what will happen to me? I will forever regret moving away, huh? Is that what you want?" She smirked bitterly."I won't die, Lily." Aemon swore."You're not God, Aemon. Grandma died all of a sudden." Her tears began to betray her again with that conversation."Lily, you have to understand. You know this fight is not ju
Chapter 84"Are you considering my options?" Frederick asked in surprise. He never thought that Aemon would actually consider that option. "I think so," Aemon said. "I will be struggling so much if Lily is not with me." He added as he sighed with frustration. "It could be the better option. But we're also not sure," Paul said while his fingers were lingering on his chin, thinking about everything."And why?" Raf asked."That man has no limitations. He can search for Lily in this whole world. We cannot hide them that easily and I don't think she should go there with Eliza. There must be one of us to leave with them." Paul discussed. He was always keen and wise with all of this. "We cannot leave," Frederick said. Even if he wants to come, they can't. They are the one who must face that evil.Paul sighed and shook his head. "I'll do it," he uttered, capturing their eyes."Really?" Aemon asked. "I'm not a Cooper. Besides, this is your fight and not me. I also want to distance myself t
Chapter 83 "You fvcking sh*t, your daughter's life is not enough for what you did." Leonora's mother said while pointing the gun at them. "I'm not yet done," he said with tears from his eyes, holding the lifeless body of his daughter. His eyes shifted to Lily who was shivering in anger. "I will not let this slide," he added. Lily smirked and remained her eyes at him."You came here to pay your respect to our grandmother, right?" Lily asked sarcastically. "How dare you?" Lily added before that evil smile faded on her lips as she wore his deadly and coldest eyes at him that will surely creep him out."Our deepest condolences to your daughter who just passed away." She said in her stern voice. "I WILL KILL YOU!" "GO KILL ME YOU BASTARD!" She said and now pointed the gun on his spare eye. All his men couldn't fight at all as the Coopers cornered them. One wrong move and they will all die here."You might lose your one eye today if you don't leave," Aemon said. His eyes towards him w
