With a frantic heart beating in her chest, Jennifer stared at the three men. Frank was gawking goggle-eyed at her painting. His father was simply stunned. Todd too seemed to be in shock. Jennifer smiled nervously, not knowing what meaning she was supposed to derive from their reaction.

Was it bad? She didn't know. 

Was it good? She sure hoped so. 

Inhaling deeply, she glanced at her painting. The starry sky and full moon were perfectly illustrated in the background. Frank's mother was smirking at them and the moonlight seemed to gleam on her face. Jennifer had painted her exactly how she had seen her in the picture. She couldn't possibly have gone wrong anywhere, right?

"What do you think?" She asked anxiously.&n

    "You are acting like a teenager who is about to ask his crush out on a date," Todd mumbled as he watched Frank check his reflection out for the nth time. "I am….I mean, I am taking her out for the first time. And I love her," Frank ran his thick fingers through his hair. Rolling his eyes, Todd leaned in his seat. Todd had suggested Frank come to his room to get ready while Jennifer got dressed in his room. "This is the first time you are taking any woman out on a date," Todd mumbled. Frank glared at him, making Todd laugh. "Face it cuz. All you did in the past was use women for sex!" He chuckled. Frank smirked. "Well, you aren't any better," snickering, he replied. "Well…. I did try to date at first, didn't I?" Todd shrugged. Frank nodded. Todd had dated a girl for over a year while they were in college. However, she broke up with him on the day of their graduation

    "Drop your gun, Gotham," the masked attacker pressed the tip against her skin, as he ordered. Frank's gaze shifted from her face to the attacker behind her. Jennifer watched in horror as Frank slowly lowered his weapon."I said drop it!" The attacker grumbled.Holding up one hand in surrender, Frank slowly crouched down to keep his Glock on the ground.Just then another masked man ran towards Frank and aimed his gun at his head. Frank and Jennifer knew that they were now at an advantage. However, if they could stall them until Mike arrived they could still escape.Snickering, "is this your girl?" The attacker who held Jennifer taunted.Frank narrowed his eyes one him.&

    Jennifer undressed in the bathroom and carefully inspected the bruises on her body. A print of his fingers was on her left boob and abdomen. They were red and blue. She bit her lower lip and furrowed her eyebrows. "These will look worse tomorrow." Wincing, she traced the marks. "Ouch," she whispered. "What will look worse tomorrow?" Frank's voice startled her. She had forgotten that the door wasn't closed. Frank most probably heard her speak to herself. She didn't have to say anything. His eyes dilated when he saw her bruised body. His gaze focused on the marks on her chest and stomach. His forehead creased as he sauntered over to her. His gaze didn't leave the marks the attacker had left on her. Swallowing the accumulated saliva he touched her reddened skin. He must have held onto her with all his might, for it to bruise like that. "I'll kill him," gritting his teeth, he traced her so

    Days passed since Mike was told to keep an eye on Todd. He made sure that Todd didn't leave the mansion without his knowledge. He kept watching his every move discreetly. When he didn't notice anything absurd, he started to listen to his phone calls too. However, he saw nothing to be concerned about."What is the news on Todd? Did you find anything I should worry about?" Frank asked Mike on their way to the shed.Shaking his head, "no, boss. Nothing. He doesn't leave the house much. And if he leaves, it usually will be for work in the shed."Mike's reply wasn't satisfactory. Frank was certain that something was odd. They couldn't have known to attack them at that particular restaurant that night unless they were continuously spying on them or unless Todd had informed them about their whereabouts.Frank narrowed his eyes as he recalled how the masked attacker had groped her that night.

    Todd dashed up the stairs and ran towards his room. His heart frantically beat in his chest. Lentils of sweat dripped down his sideburns. He didn't know Frank was listening to his conversation. He had been extremely careful about his connection with Oswald yet it was ruined with just a phone call.He growled as he picked up a vase on the side table and threw it on the floor. The pieces of ceramics scattered on the marbles with a loud crash. Sneering angrily, he stormed towards the balcony in the room.He didn't bother about the little ceramic pieces that crushed underneath his shoes as he walked over them. He walked towards the railing and grasped the cold metal of the railing with all his might."Damn him!" He grumbled under his breath. Seething in anger, he reached out for the pack of cigarettes in his pocket. After lighting up one of them, he blew a few puffs of smoke into the atmosphere, hoping that it would calm

    "Barton, my good man, I need a little help from you. Take this bottle. And serve Frank. Miss Jennifer had bought this for him and forgotten this bottle here in the kitchen. As you know this is his favourite brand of liquor." Todd handed the bottle to the worker. "Remember, serve this especially to my cousin." Jennifer couldn't believe what she was hearing. She hadn't bought a bottle of liquor for Frank. She couldn't understand what Todd was talking about. After the revealing of her painting, she had gone to the kitchen to look for Ron as she wanted to ask him to serve the food he had prepared. However, she couldn't find Ron.

Barton took the bottle from him and went to do what he was asked to. Jennifer and Frank along with Mike and other men who Frank and his father trusted the most were with them.They saw how he advanced at Jennifer and held her tight, but she managed to escape after kicking him in the crotch.

    Jennifer admired her reflection in the mirror. A little smile was constant on her lips. She had never thought that her special day would turn out to be like this. When she grew up, she had hoped that her father would be there for her on this day. That he would walk her down the aisle, holding her hand. Yet, that was far from reality. Her father had proved himself to be nothing but a halfwit.Her wedding gown was nothing short of a masterpiece. The top was embroidered using beads and sequins. The lacy flared skirt gave the gown an elegant look. Although her neckline revealed enough of her cleavage, she was certain that no one would dare look there. No one except the man of her dreams. A long slit on the side revealed her smooth legs. She smirked as she traced the Glock that was strapped to her thigh. Carrying it with her at all times was now a norm for her.

    Todd just died? But she didn't pull the trigger...then who did? Gulping, Jennifer studied the lifeless body that lay in front of her.The sight of Todd's motionless body made her gag. Todd was lying on his back, with his eyes wide open, and his face suddenly drained of colour. No signs of life were in him. It was a quick kill. She noticed that the blood was pooling underneath his head but the wound wasn't visible. Which could mean that he was shot on the back of his head.She looked around frantically and spotted Frank at the stairs. However, he wasn't holding a gun. He too was staring bewildered.Just then, Frank's father stepped forward from behind."I told you, Todd was mine to kill," he said."Dad?" Frank was shocked to see his father."I heard what Mike told you. So I followed you upstairs. Didn't you realise that I was following you?" He smirked.Frank shrugged. "I guess

    Great! She heard everything!" Todd mumbled squinting at the screen. When they checked the footage, they saw Jennifer and a tall, well-built man, listening to every word they uttered."Everything is ruined! Again! And because of that damned woman!" Todd grumbled, sneering in frustration."She keeps ruining everything for me! She is such a nuisance. I should have gotten rid of her first when I had the chance!" Todd gritted his teeth."What now?" Oswald frowned as he glanced at his father."We don't waste time. We must attack now! Tonight! We must attack at once!" He stated and stood up from his seat."Quick! Call the men! Get ready to fight. We are going to finish them off and leave this place for good!" He decreed."Leaving?" Oswald frowned."Yes. Leaving. We will move to Italy and that's where we will settle down. I am done living in the states. But I'm not going to leave without teaching them

    Jennifer sat in the car, with a racing heart. She was excited and anxious at the same time. She was going back home after a long time. She wondered what her nanna would say.Would she be excited to see her? Would she hug her like she always does? An involuntary smile curved her lips as she thought about her reunion with the woman she loved and respected as a mother. She knew she most probably would have to explain a lot. But one thing was certain. Her nanna would be happy to see her happy.Sighing, she glanced outside. She was as excited as a little child who was seeing the passing city lights for the first time. Life had taken an unexpected turn for her. When she was first taken as a prisoner, she had never thought that she would fall for the ruthless Don, who showed no mercy.She chuckled. Who kn
