Martini slowly moves the curtains that cover the veranda, to be greeted by a woman looking at the breathtaking city lights of Moscow, she was wearing a black sexy dress and drinking a glass of expensive champagne. The backless string at her back made her look more sexy and sophisticated, her blonde hair was swaying as the wind blows. Despite the existence of a new presence behind, she didn’t bother to turn around. “What happened?” She asked instead. Martini heaved a deep breath before he walked toward the small table on the corner of the veranda where the wines were located. “I won’t lie. I hit her.” He honestly replied as he poured a bottle of wine into his glass. “Jada was getting to my nerves…” Before he finished his sentence, the sound of the broken glasses erupted, as they slipped from his hands. A strong force dragged him locked to the wall with two pairs of blue eyes furiously piercing at him. The arm of the woman choking him and her strength was beyond his expectations.

Natalia’s eyes lingered around me for a few seconds making me look away acting like I don’t know her and went straight to one of the cubicles. I heard the sound of the faucet being turned on, followed by splashes of running water.I don’t know why with her presence around I felt uncomfortable, was it because she’s Achilles' new girl now? Speaking of that man, I hope he wasn’t here, I mean I don’t know how will I act if our paths crossed. One more thing is Amari, he’s like a younger version of Achilles in some angle, and I highly doubt it if Achilles won’t notice that, and quickly jump to conclusion that it was his son.When I heard someone’s phone ring, I paused for a moment. I don’t plan of eavesdropping but I don’t have a choice, do I? Only to realize that it was Natalia’s phone that was ringing.“Yeah I am here already. I’ll send you an update later and I have a surprise for you, darling.” She ended the call with those sentences making me think if it was Achilles on the other line.

It was dark outside, only a few stars were visible above. The clouds seemed heavy like rain will start to pour at any time. It’s already eleven in the evening but here I am still figuring out what happened last night, and how Martini and my conversation went.“Was she the woman behind you Martini? Is she that Miss J?” I asked straight into his eyes. I know J is probably just a pen name, and it could be anyone even whose name doesn’t start with J, to deceive people. Martini just laugh after that, until a tear fell down his cheeks and made me annoyed, is he just exaggerating on purpose to piss me off or it was his natural reaction like I just spill the funniest joke he ever heard. “Natalia Raccini really Jada? You’re suspecting her? You’ve probably seen her tonight and you had speculations at the back of your head already? ” I remained my mouth shut despite how he almost shoved to my face how stupid that sounded, not to mention that I’ve seen her before with Achilles. “Do you see a

The whole city of Moscow was in chaos but my mind was still stuck with the revelation that it was Jera Young behind this miserable life of mine. I smiled bitterly, why does it was so a big deal that I have to take over the mafia organizations? And expose me to the public as her daughter? Will it change everything? Will it turn back the lives that have been lost due to the conflict of the mafias?And if she’s alive why don’t just do it herself, since mafias were respecting her way back then right? I just realized that I have a lot of questions running in my head, but I let my emotion earlier take place first, that my mind was clouded by hatred towards her.Now I know who betrayed me at the mansion days before the wedding, that person who put Amari’s photo next to the wedding invitations was none other than Sir Arnold. It was all their plan all along how he erupted timely in that situation when Achilles and I were trying to escape from Martini’s men. How fool I am to believe that his n

“B-but the child died.”I pulled her closer to mine and hugs her as tight as I could. Then I remembered everything I felt before, how I grieved and cried and every night, and how my loss hunts me in my dreams, it all flashes back one by one. I understand the pain, and where it all comes from because I’ve experienced it myself. It felt like you just wanted to evaporate or stop breathing, to stop your heart from breaking. Or at least turn back the time and save your child’s life. It’s a different kind of pain that only a mother will understand, a pain that I don’t want to experience ever again.I tapped her back to calm her.“A-Aulus tried to kill me when I was supposed to tell your father about that, thankfully Jinx was able to let you out of the country. I was able to survive, and everyone thought that I died already. But Magnus, Martini’s father save me.”“Later on, news came out. Aulus took his own life. I’m not sure if he was guilty because he taught he killed me, or is it becaus
