"For decades, this has been our source of living. It is no one's right to dictate what we will do" Fred grimly retorted at Lia's declaration. His piercing eyes sharply bore on her.Stunned by his words, Lia together with her siblings gape at him in disbelief. She hasn't expected he would resist. "Your father choose to save you, leaving us all behind in slavery. Gonzalo might be an asshole but we survive because of the jobs he has been providing us" he seriously mutters. "Unlike Eric, I do not know anything outside of the island. I even struggle with how to read or write my name. My children are all ready for this kind of life. What life will we have without Gonzalo?" he continues."Has your father thought about us when he left? He left his other children in my care while prioritizing you. We survive because of me and the jobs we get from Gonzalo" he grimly added. "Uncle..." Lia whispers, pleadingly. "Whatever battle you and your husband against Gonzalo, it's yours alone. Don't inc
Muffled gunshots fill the silence of the night followed by the thud of falling bodies on the ground. The entire place, though looks to be in rubble, has been surrounded by a pretty number of armed men. Just a decent size cottage in the middle of nowhere but suspiciously valuable. Blades came flying from everywhere taking all their aims. Not long, bodies scattered everywhere before men in all black gear quietly sneak amid the darkness. Feet rumbled at haste speed, forging darkness.Bodies fell on the way as they walk through the ragged floorboards. Guards were caught off guard by the armed entourage. It's an easy seizure for a well-known mafia organization. There's no fortress but a miserable house."Wolf" Carl's mouth while intensely staring at him. He looks around with his hawkeye before gesturing for the floor. It took them a while before finding a trap door beneath a tattered rug under the rickety table. A shoddy and pathetic guise. Their men already swarmed the area, an eas
For someone trained with all kinds of sharps, he swiftly dodged its aim. Knocking it with the gun in his hand, he just had a fleeting glance of it on the ground before facing another coming in his direction. He had mastered everything with any sharps, including its viscosity once thrown in the air. And the precision of what was thrown at him is not what he was expecting. Nonetheless, he continues to avoid as much as he could. While Gonzalo was enjoying the show with the hefty laughter shared by his men. Samuel and Steven together with their men try to locate the source of the speeding weapons but it was everywhere. And even how hard they spot the slightest movement in the shadow, they find none. Seeming like the walls are throwing them. "They are good at hiding their traces. They are one with the shadows" Samuel mutters with a clenched jaw. They are all busy evading the darting sharps from everywhere. The blades are nipping their gears, and though they cannot fully penetrate the
Tension rises as the two groups watched each other in animosity, waiting for who would make a move. Despite the stand-off between the groups, Vasili remains calm, watching his wife. It's been a while before he turns to the silent commotion. Looking up, his eyes wandered to fierce-looking men and women. All were staring back at him. They are all strangers garbed in all black. "Weapons down" he casually commanded. And promptly without hesitation, everyone lowers their weapon. His eyes are fixed on the older man above whose face shows the harsh life he had endured. Though he cannot discern what's behind the mask of coldness he wears, he doesn't feel threatened around him. Their piercing gazes lock for a moment before he looks away. Steven and Samuel turn to look at him to turn his inferences but he returns to watching his wife, ignoring them. The three have already composed themselves and Amelia's calm gaze was on him. Her eyes reveal nothing of her thoughts.With their gazes locke
It's already dawn when they went back to the apartelle. Stephen is nowhere when they arrive, even his bag. But she remains uninquiring while they settle to rest. They both left the team and her family to double-check Gonzalo's lair and its surrounding territory. They will be back later to convene with everyone. Vasili insisted to bring her back to where she was staying with Stephen for several reasons and one of those is to have privacy with her. He has been absent for so long and unexpectedly seeing her earlier was the snap of all his reserves. "Argh...at last. I miss you so much, baby" grunting, he breathlessly whispers after he was sheath in her tightness."Ahhn..." a lewd moan is her only response after being filled by Vasili's humongous erection. After long months of not having Vasili, her entire body is screaming for her need to have him. She ached to be filled by just watching his nakedness earlier. And though he lost a little weight, he is gorgeous as she could remember.
"I have father's benefit money from working for the Petrovs. I will be giving it all to you, two" after the family discussion, Lia speaks to her siblings alone. "But how about you, Ame?" Kara worriedly asks. "Kara I'm married to a billionaire. I can't even spend the allowance he is giving me since I was fourteen. He also put up an ample amount in my trust fund. Money is the least of my worries" she earnestly explains. "And these are father's money. You should have them. We will go as we planned earlier. You come to us after a week. We need to go to the bank. Don't worry, I will guide you. Someone will teach you everything you need to know" she assures them, though Lyon has been so quiet. "I know this has been overwhelming, but we could make this work, right? This has been our father's plan for us, and though he is no longer with us, we will fulfill them. We are free from Gonzalo's slavery. We could go out to the world and strive to reach our dreams. We will have a choice aside fro
"Welcome home master Vasili, young mistress Amelia" Manuel cannot contain his excitement seeing the couple walk inside the mansion. It's been so long since they were together and the place is a lot different without one of them. "Thank you, Manuel" Lia cheerful replies while still in Vasili's arms. Since they left the island, boarding the helicopter, he never allowed her out of his grasp. He caged her on his lap the entire time of their travel. She fell asleep and woke up in his arms. She would only be out of his hold whenever she needs to go to the restroom. Lyon and Kara watch them in silence but both are bewildered by how protective Ame's husband is of her. And though embarrassed, she endure the peculiar look of her siblings. She can't ask Vasili to stop what he was doing, not wanting to aggravate his foul mood. She was just relieved when they were alone after Lyon and Kara were sent to one of the mansions Vasili owns. She personally chooses the smaller one among the properties
The day went on while Lia tries to ignore the murmurs around her. Only Cristy and Caleb, well aside from her security, were not anxious around her.As the Mafia boss' wife, people seem to expect her to threaten everyone around her."Can you stop surprising us? My weak heart could only take much" playfully, Cristy whispered while they are walking towards the cafeteria amid the curious and anxious glances around."My life is interesting, I can't help it" winking at her friend, she teasingly retorted.Scoffs escape the two and with Cristy's rolling eyes. "Although I'm quite liking the situation. We are part of your fame. The Mafia Boss's wife's friends. Who dares to mess with us now, huh?" acting playfully haughty, Cristy raves subtly. "Silly" Lia amusingly chuckles."Lia, your family and your husband are the most powerful people in this country, more than those politicians. Haven't you realized your value? And as your friends, everyone would also fear us. Let's see if our haughty neig
