Julian ran as fast as his legs could carry him. Breaking into an abandoned building which was already falling apart. This was his brother's apartment when he was alive. Nobody has been here since forever. White sheets covered everything. Nothing here seems touched, except this drawer, recently opened. There was an old photo with the name “A. Caesar” written at the back. Julian have heard that name before, during his elder brother's death investigation which was later ruled a suicide. He knew his brother would have never taken his life. The investigation was just rushed through Julian began digging into the drawer hoping to see something more about that name. He found out something that scared him. The “A. Caesar was Alessandro Caesar. Mafia royalty, brutal, untouchable,also was the last person in contact with his brother. He heard a movement, someone was behind him. “Hey you, what are you doing here?”, he heard someone yell behind him. A man was standing here with a stick in hand. He took a swing at Julian. Julian managed to dodge in time. Julian dashed out the door, running and almost out of breath. When he got to a safe place. “I'm coming for you. Caesar, I would make you pay if you are guilty of my brother's death “ ***** Julian makes his way to “The Sphere Desire”, a club that is said to be Caesar's territory. Julian got to the door, showed his ID to the bouncer. Then walked inside, dressed like a college kid, that was the impression he wanted to pass. “A glass of vodka”, he said to the bartender. “Here you go, kid” Caesar noticed a young guy had previously walked in. He looks like someone that shouldn't be here, he finds him suspicious but that wasn't the reason he noticed him. This boy was definitely his type to the letter.. Cute, dumb and the kind that walks into danger themselves.. Caesar with a glass and smoke in hand watched the boy from the VIP lounge. Julian scanned the room around to see if Caesar truly did come here when he saw him and…. Their eyes met, making him nervous and gasping all of a sudden. Caesar stood up and was definitely walking towards him now. Julian's heart pounds in his chest….. He thought he was prepared for this.He sees someone sit by his side. Caesar Alessandro. “Hi, I'm Caesar. What about you?”, stretching his hands towards him “Julian, I'm Julian”, he said, sounding nervous. He shaked his hand, but he didn't let go for a few seconds. Eyes locked, Caesar looked at him as if he wanted to see through him. He didn't go away, he kept talking on and on. Julian was tense. “Relax, kid. I'm not gonna eat you…..or not yet”, he smiled. Caesar was polite and charming with everything he said. Julian was beginning to feel hunted at this point. “You look similar, reminds me of someone I buried a long time ago”. He ran his hand into Julian's brown hair and down his face. Caesar looked at him, noticed his blue eyes. A small frame that could mistake him for a lady. “So pretty”, he smirked.. Julian felt weird. The way he watched him, scanned him from his feet to his face. “This is actually my first time here. Moreover, I got to go.” Julian rushed out before Caesar could say another word to him. Julian hurried up so he could get to his dorm on time. When__ A black car blocked the alley. He became frightened. Thinking about maybe running back the other way. A black tailored suited guard came down from it. “Mr Caesar would like to give you a ride home.”, he says to him. “Thank you but I'm almost home. I really appreciate it”, he declined. “But it wasn't a request, kid. Whatever Mr Caesar wants he gets” “I'm really sorry but I have to go”, Julian smiled so he could seem polite enough so he could be let go. Julian kept on walking but this black car followed slowly by his side. Julian picked up his pace, walking faster. But the car just kept following. Suddenly, he starts running. Two men from the car ran after him. Julien tried running faster, adrenaline pumping into his veins. Jumping over a couple of fences. These men were gradually catching up with him. Then, he turned. “Shit”, he cursed. It was a dead end.. He tried fighting one of them but got knocked out. He gets taken, door closed. Caesar in the back seat beside him. Eyes fixed on him like a predator on his prey. He whispered, “I knew you were going to fight back. Stubborn and brave, my type”. "Same hair and blue eyes. So much like him." He brushed the back of his finger on Julian's face. "I don't know what you want for me. Just let me go." “Oh, I want a lot from you. Julian"Chapter 55: When The Past and Jealousy Burns. “Who sent you? If my man finds you he would not hesitate to kill you”, Peter threatens.Peter couldn’t see the stranger’s face properly, all he could do was curse as he has been tied and thrown to the back sit.“You and Julian are just the same,huh? Always running your mouth”, he chuckled.“So you are actually taking me to get to Julian? You don’t need all of these”, Peter further struggles.“Relax boy, we would get there soon. I got a surprise for you”, the strange man chuckled.Few minutes later, the suddenly man packs the car. Opens the back seat roughly pulling Peter out, he had a mask on covering his face.“Let me go”, Peter resist. The man pulls out a gun and places it at Peter lower back.“Be good and let get this over with”, he whispers as he pushes him into this abandoned and old looking cabin.***** “This is Peter’s phone, he must have been taken from here”, Enzo picks Peter’s phone off the ground looking around for an
Chapter Fifty Four: The Mole Hunt. Julian,Caesar and Enzo launches a quiet internal investigation on who might be leaking Julian’s every move. “I and Enzo can handle this. It’s better you stay away from it, it would be easier to protect you that way”, Caesar suggest. Julian scoffed, “Are you kidding me, Caesar? I have to been involved” “I suspect everyone at the moment. It could be one of my men”, Julian paces. The door burst open, Enzo walks in pointing a gun at a clearly beaten up bodyguards. “Arrgh”, he yelled as Enzo kicked him to the ground. “He has been the one passing out information”, Enzo kicks him even harder. Julian squat before him, “You might want to start talking before you end up dead” “I…I am sorry. I had no choice”, the man stammered. “Then who sent you? Is it Leo or Mikhail?”, Julian asked calmly. “No sir. I have no ideas of those you just mentioned. I am working for someone higher up in the Mafia” “Liar”, Caesar grabs him and hits him across
Chapter Fifty Three: You Are Becoming Cold. “You just have to deliver those goods in the trucks. It’s not too difficult and it’s low risk for your first mission”, Don Alessandro says. Julian was being assigned his first mission, with the few men given to him, he would try all in his means not to f*ck it up. “I disapprove this!”, Caesar yelled, standing up suddenly from his seat. “Caesar, I got this, okay?”Julian calms him down. Julian makes his way to his men who were waiting by the truck. They were heading not to far away from the city. “Let’s go guys. We got no time to waste”, he orders. Julian had one problem, he senses the distrust and quiet mockery from some of his men. He gives orders, sees them obey but sometimes they do step out of line not hiding what they think about him. The truck suddenly turns towards the wrong direction, Julian immediately communicates with the bodyguard behind the wheel. “The direction is wrong, it’s the other way” “This way is shorter sir. I
Chapter Fifty Two: The Three Of Us. “I have to find a way to protect myself better this time, I should dedicate myself to the Mafia fully”, Julian paces.“You have been on this all morning. The search is already out for him. We would get him soon”, Caesar assures him.“You don’t get it, you can catch Leo, he would surely come for me sooner or later and I have to prepare for that”Julian paranoia grew after the incident, felt like he was being hunted.“If Leo could touch me not even once but over and over again. He would do it again and this time I can’t let you or anyone keep saving me. I have to fight too”“I have never gotten tired of protecting you neither have I ever complained. I still insist on you not doing this but it’s fine”, Caesar admitted.“I have to be out, I will be back by evening”, Julian kisses him.“I’m going with you, I know you are heading to the Alessandro mansion”“Caesar please..”, Julian tries to stop him.“I already forced myself to agree to this so can I
Chapter Fifty One: The Phantom’s Return. Julian became pale, trembling and whispering, “You’re supposed to be dead. How…How did you…you survive the fall?”“That’s another sorry for another time, my love”Leo walks around him in a circle, charming but sinister.“It’s been some months now. You don’t even miss me, do you, Julian?”, he leans closer to Julian, brushing his hair and held his face.Leo kisses him deliberately, that was the confirmation Julian needed that he wasn’t dreaming at all.Sebastian frowns, his expression clearly shows anger, he jaw tightens.Leo sees this and stops, walks to him and held his hands.“Oh baby, don’t be jealous. It’s just that me and Julian have seen each other in a very long time now. It’s just nostalgic”“Why don’t we just kill him already? Remember he was the reason you almost died”, Sebastian asked.“No, not yet. I know you are saying that out of your jealousy”“Heard you were joining the Mafia, Julian? Most of the people that had their hands
Chapter Fifty: The Ghost Is Back. “Everything is fifty dollars, sir”, the cashier says to him. “Alright, thanks”, Julian hands her some cash. “You can keep the change”, he added. Julian went to a store to get some food ingredients for a special meal he plans to make for Caesar. His lover has been grumpy, still strongly disagree with he joining the mafia family. Getting to his car, he noticed one of his tires has deflated. “What, it was fine when I packed it here”, he whispered examining the tire for the cause of deflation. A cut life a knife stab, “Are this people really dumb?”, he questioned. It’s probably from rival family but why would they pull a cheap prank like this. He would just take a taxi instead then.
