Chapter 22: Knife and Threats Eltan Storm I woke up to many noises around me. My eyes were bleary and heavy, so it took me a while to make sense of where I was and what was going on.I was sitting in the passenger's seat of my car and my men were surrounding Faith at a distance. It was late at night already, but the streetlight helped me see clearly."—Where the hell do you think you were taking Capo?" I heard Denver shout and saw him pointing his gun at Faith.My heart spiked with fear, and I instantly got out of the car and pulled out my gun. Afraid that Denver would shoot her, I quickly aimed at Denver's gun and shot at it. The bullet hit the muzzle of his gun, and it fell out of his hand.

  Chapter 24: All Mine Faith MabelI wanted to laugh at what Eltan said, saying it must be a joke, but I knew he wouldn't joke about something like this.It took me more than a few seconds to let it sink in.He is the leader of a mafia gang?I didn't exactly know what mafia gangs did. But they were known as bad people. Even the people who murdered my parents belonged to the mafia. But... Eltan couldn't be bad, right?He was always so nice to me. He made me feel special.

 Chapter 26: Blood GraffitiEltan Storm"Come in."I stared at Faith who had a blank expression on her face. I kept standing outside, anxiety churning inside my chest from her cold shoulder.From the moment Faith opened the door for me this afternoon, I couldn't grasp anything from her expressions."Eltan?

I asked reluctantly."I will answer your question once you are inside," she told me.I gulped the lump in my throat and finally stepped on the threshold, closing the door behind me.

Chapter 28: Vulnerable SideEltan Storm"Damn, New York is so much colder than home," Mutiny commented as she stepped out of the jet, rubbing her palms up and down her upper arms."And of course, it's past one in the morning and you're wearing too light clothes for this season," I retorted.She rolled her eyes. "I didn't select these stupid clothes. Your beloved girlfriend did. So scold her when she's back.""Then bring her back.""Nope." She stuck out her tongue at me and ran off straight toward the car awaiting us.I shook my head in disbelief and motioned to Denver to start preparing for the attack tomorrow night, while I took her to where we

 Chapter 30: Not Right Now Eltan StormI was in a deep sleep until bright sunlight washed over my face, pouring in from the window.Grumbling, I rolled over and pulled the comforter over my head. I was having a nice dream. Even though I couldn't exactly recall it now, I wanted to return to that world."Eltan, wake up," I heard Faith's voice.Faith's voice? Was I still dreaming? No, never mind, this is better than a dream.I peeked out from the comforter and saw Faith standing near the bedside with a hand on her hip. Her hair was tied into a high ponytail with loose bangs hanging from the sides of her forehead. She looked adorable."Wake up.
