RAYMOND POVLily had noticed the gate open from the balcony and immediately rushed downstairs. Her face dimmed from worry as she approached the vehicle I was seated in and proceeded to cure her curiosity by asking “Where are you off to dress like that ? “ she asked authoritatively “Its business, nothing that should concern you quotation”“What business?, you didn’t tell me you had business to attend to today…. So where’s this business? She imposed, with her never ending questions“Stay indoors Lily, don’t come out…. I’ll be back “I said while I signaled the driver to roll up the window“Wait! At least tell me where you’re going“ Lily insisted “Oh come on! You act like you actually care” “I think if you’re gonna have me stay indoors and inform you about my every move, the least you owe me is an explanation for all this… the SUV, the suit…. I deserve to know what’s going on ray”Look lily, it’s nothing you should be worried about… it’s just business with Draco. I have a job to do a

RAYMOND POVOn our way to the location, I had noticed how different that part of town had looked, I struggled to recognize the environment but I ensured to memorize our the turned that had been taken just in case, I thought to myself. I seemed prepared but within me, my heart pounded from the anxiousness that had enveloped at the back seat, I hadn’t seen the mafia for quite long time and it bothered me to know they had been informed of my arrival. It began to dawn on me that my life wasn’t mine anymore and everything I had done from that day henceforth revolved around putting my life at constant risk. Silently, I had said a word of prayer in hope that my face would not provoke the memory of my betrayal from 6 years ago. I never imagined a time where I would consciously throw myself into the den of lions who had craved the taste of my blood for so long. I had wondered how my life took such a toxic turn, and what difference had it made if I remained in prison and in that very moment I

As I stood there not sure where to sit or remain standing, I couldn’t shake the sense of unease that settled over me. The men had seemed not quite interested in the briefcase of weapons I had offered them but seemed more interested in something else, which I was yet to find out.The air was thick with tension, and every second felt like it was stretching longer and longer. It was as if the room itself was holding its breath, and I could feel the weight of their silence pressing down on me, making my heart race. What could they possibly want as proof of my loyalty?My thoughts were interrupted by the mention of a name that sent a shiver down my spine. “Lily,” one of the men said casually. The sound of her name made my blood run cold. Lily was my step-sister, the only family I had left, and the very thought of involving her in this dangerous mess was unbearable.I tried to grasp the significance of her name in this grim setting. She had worked for these people once, but that was years a

RAYMOND POV As I settled into the chair beside Red, I could barely keep my composure as The scent of cigars and whiskey intensified. The mafia men sat with an air of detached authority, their expressions vague . My toes pointed awkwardly towards the floor, betraying my nervousness, while my hands were clenched tightly in my lap, a futile attempt to hide the fear that gripped me while I sat in that chair.I had come here with a desperate plea, hoping against hope that they would listen to me. But as I gathered my thoughts to speak, my phone buzzed violently against my leg. I glanced down to see Lily’s name flashing on the screen. A cold wave of panic ran all over me. If they discovered that she was calling, her safety would be in severe jeopardy. I fumbled with my phone, my heart racing as I turned it off. The fear that they might have noticed the call made my breath come in shallow gasps.The room was silent for a moment, the oppressive weight of the mafia men’s presence pressing dow

The plush furnishings and the low murmur of conversation between the other men seemed worlds apart from the tension I felt. As I sat across from Red and his cronies, a sickening realization dawned on me: their machinations were behind Lily’s recent struggles. It was their malicious interference that had driven her into a point of desperation, making her work extra hard to keep a job that had been sabotaged unknowingly to her.Red leaned back in his chair, swirling his glass of whiskey with a casual nonchalance. His gaze was fixed on me, an irritating smirk playing on his lips. The lack of remorse expressed on their faces for what they had done had a stark contrast to the burning anger in my chest.“You know,” Red began, his voice smooth and mocking, “I’ve really missed Lily. She was such a good girl. Really good at what she did. My men always came back for her back then.”His gaze was locked with mine, his eyes gleaming with a malevolent glint. It was as if he took perverse pleasure i
