LOGINThe game: Mafia. The rules: Lies are required, deceit is essential, betrayal is highly encouraged. Who wins? The remaining one left at the top. Who loses? The one who falls in love first. Eirene Evander's identity had always been kept a secret, her family made sure of that. Since she could remember, she was trained in the art of illusion and deception. But a tragic event led her to run off and enlist in the Marines as Rein. Now that she’s come home, it’s time to see what the mafia’s up to these days. Will pretending to be a man help with her mission for the military? Will she finally find the truth about her father’s death? Or will it lead to her demise just like her predecessor? Delian Leofric is a calculated, mean-spirited brute. Every person he meets would warn others to avoid even just a glimpse of his shadow. But what they don’t know is that he’s more than that. Now that he’s about to become the mob leader, will he turn things around? Or in the end, will he be swallowed up and forced to do their bidding until he’s replaced by another? A vengeful soldier, a puppet mob king, with all the other players from the underground organization and more. These combinations may just bring tragic deaths, unexpected greatness, or maybe a concoction of both.

If only she knew where his alliances truly lie, then maybe she could directly ask him what he knew to help with their mission.But alas, she didn’t. Although, maybe it was best to know him better after all. “Curiosity is a dangerous trait, Sir Delian…”Rein observed as his eyes grew darker at her statement so she continued, “But I’ve been taught that it is likewise important. It helps us learn and see possibilities that are usually invisible. So, I’ll make this easier for you. I’ll answer 3 questions truthfully if you do the same.”Delian kept his strong gaze at her and she could see the gears turning in his head. He slowly opened his mouth, “N-”Fortunately for her, their focus was taken out by a soft knock on the door. Delian growled, “What is it?”The knob turned to reveal the young lady who was getting harassed earlier. Her voice became quieter as opposed
“Sir, from what I’ve gathered, most of the rival gangs began to lie low after what happened to the Hives. They knew better than to mess with our affairs, especially since the gang completely disappeared.”“Not one of them acted up?”“None at all. I checked several times and it had been years since one of them tried to.”That was strange. Every information he had ran through Delian’s mind as the car decelerated. “It doesn’t make sense. Except for Sylvester Cobb and his men, no other groups ever again attempted to make contact with any of our members. And the drug and weapon deals all stopped right after Julius Dai was killed. Someone should have taken action by now.”Rafiq answered while parking the vehicle into the manor’s extensive garage, “That means the person or people we’re looking for is not associated with any of them. We’ve already investigated and determined that none of the city’s politicians and police would go against us. Which leaves us to outsiders or even the possibilit
“The people we’re paying in Customs reported about an incoming alcohol import tax hike so they’re asking for additional compensation. Since they are bringing in our products into the UK without much clearance, I’d say we give it to them.” Rein pored over the reports as their finance executive droned on and on about increasing taxes. She sat on Aidon’s right side of the conference table. But all she could think about was her dilemma with Kora. This was not a misunderstanding that could easily be fixed with a simple, “Hey, you got it all wrong. I meant something else.” If a man showed even the slightest intention of wanting to marry someone in the mafia, that was equal to proposing already. The man would have to expect a marriage within the year whether he wanted it or not. Aidon watched as Rein squirmed in her seat, her furrowed brows burning through the papers. He recognized that his niece wasn’t mentally present and let her be. This was the first time since the incident that Rein
Kora checked herself in the mirror one more time, making sure that the demure image she was portraying really stood out. Instead of her usual red lipstick and heavy makeup, she opted to wear a natural look to show off her rosy cheeks. And she wore a flowy and simple sage dress with long sleeves.“Being sultry doesn’t seem to get anything more than a flirty comment from him. Maybe I’ll get a better reaction with this,” she told herself as she smiled at the reflection. This always worked when she wanted to tap into some of the men’s overprotectiveness and bravado.Maybe Rein Evander was one of those men who thought that women couldn’t defend themselves.Kora continued to look around what seemed to be the smallest parlor in the manor. The off-white walls made the room brighter while black, suede chairs gave it contrast. Dark brown wood with gold linings served as furniture, completing the whole minimalist ambiance.“I’ll have to change a lot of things and add more color if I start living
“The Leofric boy has shut himself off from the outside world. From what I’ve gathered, we won’t see much of him for a while. Who knows what crazy ideas he’s got up his brain again?” Elus frowned, irate with his inability to read through Delian’s actions. “After that last stunt, he should be ashamed
Rein fixed her messy ponytail and cuffed her wrists, making sure the rope burns were not visible. It didn’t matter if she was soaked, as long as she had no injuries. She stared at the metal door for a few seconds before making up her mind.She knew better than to believe Sylvester Cobb’s words blindl
A sudden cascade of ice water forced Rein awake from her pained stupor. She jolted violently as a reaction but was unable to move further.“What the?” She said in a hoarse voice as she looked down to see her limbs tied to a chair. This reminded her of what happened before she passed out. “Shit, this
“What time should I come by your house? I should at least talk to Don Renaud if I’m taking his daughter out on a date.” Rein put on her cufflinks, the very same heirloom Aidon passed on to her, as she prepared for the movie and dinner date with Kora. Not able to get more information from Dona Agatha
