You appeared shorter than I anticipated," he said mockingly. "I can easily crush you like a bug," he threatened me."Your name suits your face; you look like my scrotum," I said, chuckling."Asshole!" Vulzach raised his arms, and when he was about to hit me, Wilfred interfered and stood in between us.He pointed his finger at us and said, "House rules: no fighting." Violence will not be tolerated in his mansion. If you want to test your egos, settle this outside of my turf," he continued.He again threatened me, saying, "I will kill you, Junior." He is very committed to taking my life."Not tonight, Ball Sack," I said jokingly."Junior, stop provoking him and get on with the mission!" Uncle Stephen yelled at me on the communication device. "Don't forget about what we came here for, Junior," he reminded me."Come on, gentlemen. The auction is about to begin," Wilfred said calmly.We were brought to the auction by Wilfred, who put his arms around our shoulders.There is a podium in the
A comfortable house, warm clothes, and a soft bed—finally, I've returned home. I no longer worry about my safety, even though I am still the island's most wanted man. Now that people know I am the future Don and the head of the most dreadful mafia group, they are afraid of me. They would think twice before they laid their fingers on me. Along with Athena, many men from Cerberus are standing guard around my house and are prepared to sacrifice themselves to protect me."Junior, wake up." I heard a sweet voice calling out my name.My home is now peaceful, and it feels wonderful. Finally, I could go to sleep knowing that someone was watching out for me. I disregarded the call, wrapped myself in a blanket, and resumed slumber."Junior, wake up." The sweet voice called to me once more, singing in my ears like a mermaid's song.I looked around to see who was calling me as soon as I opened my eyes. Athena was standing next to my bed and giving me her customary expressionless look."Good morni
Athena's POV:"Athena, please stay strong; we are almost there in the hospital."His voice sounds familiar; I've heard it before. I tried to move, but I couldn't. My body is not responding to my will, and I can't open my eyes. What is happening to me?"Athena, please don't leave me. I need you." His voice is breaking and trembling in fear.He seemed so worried, and his voice sounded sincere. Why? I don't understand why he is so concerned about me. What is his relationship with me?So many questions are piling up in my mind. I'm confused, and the more I think about it, the more perplexed I become. How did I end up in this situation?"Junior, her pulse is weak. She had lost a lot of blood. We need to get her a blood transfusion right away," a female voice advised."If you have to take my blood, give it to her. Don't let her die. Do whatever it takes to keep her alive." His voice sounded demanding and authoritative.Who is he? I tried to recall everything. Fragments of my memories are co
Athena's POV:Flashback one year ago..."How are you doing, Angel?" Doctor Faisal inquired."I don't feel well," I grumble softly.As much as I wanted to move, my body just wouldn't react. I've been undergoing intense physical training for the past few years. We are taught to protect and fight with our bare hands, as well as how to utilize various weapons and manufacture, detonate, and dismantle explosive devices. We are also taught how to treat ourselves and provide first aid to survive."It's no surprise you're feeling ill after suffering three broken ribs, a fractured arm, and a broken nose," he remarked, smiling. "Don't worry about it. I'll give you some booster shots to make you feel as good as new." After speaking those words, he injected me with an unknown chemical substance.After a few seconds, my body felt numb. The excruciating pain I felt from my injuries was all gone. Doctor Faisal once again injected me with a high dosage of adrenaline booster, and in a matter of seconds
Athena's POV:Present time..."Her heart rate and blood pressure are increasing," a distressed female voice remarked. "She's having a seizure," she explained further."What is happening to me? I can hear them, but I can't move my body, and I can't open my eyes." I tried to respond and let them know that I was alive, but my body was not cooperating with my mind."Nurse, hold her arms and legs. Keep her steady," a male voice said, giving instruction. He's got to be the doctor. "Get the defibrillator. She is experiencing a cardiac arrest," he said in a commanding tone."What is going on with her?" Junior sounded so sad and worried. "Don't let her die no matter what," he pleaded with them.I never had someone who cared for me like that before. He sounded so sincere and truthful."Sir, are you related to the patient? Only family members are permitted in this area," the nurse told Junior, asking him to leave."I am her friend and the only family she had. I'm not leaving here!" Junior exclai
Junior's POV:I'm relieved now that I know Athena is safe from harm. I can finally relax, get some sleep, and eat decent meals. Seeing Athena fighting for her life on the hospital bed is making me so worried. She put her life on the line to protect and save me, and I couldn't live with myself if she died."Junior, you can relax now. Athena is alive and well. She's going to be alright. It's time for you to take care of yourself." Tiny smiled at me and patted my shoulder."Have you noticed anything weird about Athena?" I said this while staring at Athena, who was sound asleep."She's always been acting weird since the first time I met her. If she acted weirder than she already is, Junior, you better go and tell Red about it," he responded, laughing."I know, but ever since she woke up from her coma, she's been spacing out a lot and looking at everything around her as if it were her first time. Could it be that the accident has affected her brain?" I said it worriedly."Junior, you have
Junior's POV:"Bro, I see that you got yourself some hanky panky while I'm gone," Tiny said when he caught me putting on my clothes. "Who's the lucky girl?" he asked curiously, looking around, searching for the woman I had sex with."She said her name was Lilith. Did you know her? The red-haired girl?" I inquired inquisitively."Red hair? Nope. I'm not aware of anyone who fits that description. She might be new here," he explained.We left the VIP room and went back to the club to get another drink from Milo. He was all smiles at me when he saw me fixing my clothes."Congratulations! You've been baptized!" Milo said, chuckling. "Welcome to the mafia world," he jokingly said."Shut up and give me something to drink." I squinted and glared at him."Yes, boss!" He promptly responded with a military salute.Tiny headed to the restroom to take a phone call. Tiny couldn't hear the caller on the other line because of the noise from the sound system and the band performing alternative rock, s
Junior's POV:I can't believe that Red laughed at me when I told him that Athena might be broken. Am I the only one who notices the changes in Athena? I may not be as smart as Red or as physically athletic as Tiny, but I am a good observer, especially of women's behavior.It's been a week since, and Athena has fully recovered from her injuries. The Sixth District Hospital has benefited from modern technology. With the help of Red's invention, he was able to create equipment that heals and restores dead cells quickly. Athena's wounds and injuries are as good as new.After a week, everything returned to normal. As part of my daily routine, we stop by the headquarters to see what's going on in the organization."My boy, we've been waiting for you." Grandpa greeted me with his usual loving hug.I told Athena to wait for me in the visitor's area while Grandpa and I entered the conference room."Junior, I want you to meet General Anderson," he said excitedly, extending his hand towards the
