Chapter 6: Take Your Time
"Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change."
-Stephen Hawking-
***
The next morning, Levana woke up and did her usual morning routine. She brushed her teeth, washed her face, took a quick shower and got ready for the day.
Only this time, she didn’t know what she was supposed to do for the day. She was someone who liked structure and schedule. To have nothing to do felt wrong to her.
“I guess I should just grab a meal first.” She got out of the room and headed to the elevator and pressed the first floor button and it brought her to the ground floor.
When the elevator door opened, she saw a few staff in the living room, cleaning up the space for the day.
“Hi, do you mind telling me where the dining room is?” The place was huge and she knew she would end up getting lost if she wandered off on her own.
“Sure, please follow me.” The young maid answered and she

"The greater the contrast, the greater the potential. Great energy only comes from a correspondingly great tension of opposites."-Carl Jung-***Levana got the key to the library and unlocked it. The library was not as huge as some of the rooms in the house and it was a little dusty.Looked like the space has not been used in a while, which was understandable considering no one in the house seemed to be into reading.She walked through the book aisle and realized the collections they had there were really great. Whoever gathered these books together must have a passion for them.From fictions to self-development books, everything was curated in perfect order. If only members of the family such as Maximus would spend time and read these, he might have a better character.She took one of the book which caught her attention. It was a book on dark psychology.Even though Levana was working in retail befor

"Do not be lured by the need to be liked, better to be respected, even feared.

Her daily routine almost looked the same.She would wake up, got ready, had breakfast with the Osborne brothers in the morning while keeping her distance with Maximus.Then, after Kilian left for work, she would clean his room and office, which looked surprisingly normal.She was not going through his stuff, but from what she could see on the surface, there were nothing suspicious.However, that day was a little different. Kilian didn’t come home alone. He came with three men in suit who looked like they belonged to a gang or something.All of them had fierce look on their faces, they were not particularly huge or anything, but they didn’t seem friendly at

"Betray a friend and you'll often find you have ruined yourself."-Aesop-***Half an hour later, the door to Kilian office opened and two men dragged the maid who tried to poison him earlier and threw her to the ground.“She was trying to run away, we found her climbing the gate but got her before she could.” Emmett, the younger one of the two men told him.“Good job, thank you.” He said and the man nodded before guarding the door to make sure the woman wouldn’t be able to escape.Kilian rose from her seat and saw the maid who was already crying and pleading for her life. She still looked relatively young, maybe in her late thirties or so.“Please, spare me. I was just taking order. Please, I still have a daughter. I can’t die yet!” She pleaded. If the situation was different, maybe Kilian would have spared her.But if there was one thing he couldn&rsquo
The Mafia Brothers Obsession Chapter 10: Lady With A Gun
"Ideas pull the trigger, but instinct loads the gun."-Don Marquis-***“Tell me, Levana, do you ever think of learning how to use a gun?” Kilian suddenly asked her. It was weekend and she was cleaning his room.He didn’t have any work that day so he stayed in his room, drinking a cup of coffee while watching her clean. Levana didn’t know how to answer that sudden question.She has always wanted to try it at least once in her life. That much she knew. Actually, when she was younger, her father used to own a gun and back in Italy, they practiced it through hunting.But she never actually pulled the trigger and just watched him and her brother did it while she was munching on food.It sparked curiosity in her though, but life happened and she became so busy with everything that she never thought of it again, until he asked her about it.“Yes, I’d like to try it eventua

"There is no path to happiness. Happiness is the path."-Buddha-***“Are you really that happy?” Kilian asked her as soon as they were back in the car.“Well, I tried something today that I have never tried before, of course I am happy. I was a little nervous at first, but I think I got a little dopamine rush when I pulled the trigger. I can’t quite explain it.” She admitted.He understood perfectly what she meant by that. He still remembered the first time he pulled the trigger when he learnt how to use a gun for the first time.He actually learnt it not long after he was discharged from the hospital.His father, Sonny, insisted on teaching his eldest son to use a gun, partly because it was necessary and partly because since he was shot, Kilian had a fear of gun.Sonny taught him how to use it properly and made sure he knew the safety and everything else, just like what
The Mafia Brothers Obsession Chapter 12: Dancing With Death
"Sometimes a little near death experience helps them put things into perspective."-Anne Shropshire-***Maximus put on his boxing gear and entered the arena. The loud cheer of the crowd could be heard and his opponent, the man they called Blue Giant has also entered the ring.Meanwhile, Max was known by his Alias, Max Punch. They were staring at each other in defensive position.Both of them approached each other for your typical pre fight chest bump and then went back to the corner to prepare themselves for the real fight.The referee started the fight and Maximus was the first one to land a punch. His opponent was not someone they could easily dismiss as well, but compared to Maximus, he was much slower and Max who was more on the slender side, was a lot more agile.Three rounds passed by and Maximus was the winner. Though he received a few punches here and there, at least he won.As the son of a we

"Sometimes it takes only one act of kindness and caring to change a person's life."-Jackie Chan-***Kilian stepped into the hospital room and saw his brother at a messy state. Instead of nagging him or showing his concern, he just looked at his brother with a rather poker face and spoke in a flat tone.“Who was it?” He asked. Maximus turned his face away, as if he was embarrassed to even admit the truth.“Street bats.” When he heard it, Kilian sighed. He almost looked embarrassed as well.“I can’t believe you are injured like this because of those low lives.” Somehow, he seemed a little disappointed.“I was unprepared. I didn’t have my gun with me and I just got back from my boxing match. If you were in my situation, you would probably end up in similar state.” Maximus tried to defend himself.“This is why I have always told you to pic

He usually smoked around three to four cigar a day, which wasn’t bad compared to other smokers in his life.He always needed one before bed since it helped his mind relax a bit. Considering his situation, he needed it more than ever.As he smoked, he sat down on the chair and thought about changing his bandage. The doctor recommended him to change it at least once a day.He had not changed it since he arrived back from the hospital and it was starting to be uncomfortable.He tried to remove it on his own, but it was a little difficult. Levana who happened to pass by and wanted to go to her room saw Maximus struggling to remove and put on the new bandage.She didn’t want to help him at first and just planned on walking away because
