Chapter 51 - Luca RomanoWhen she promised that she would help me, I could hardly believe it. Yes, I looked straight at my phone, staring at it for a couple of seconds before finally managing to piece myself back together and take in my surroundings. She can't be serious. Sure, we have some kind of commitment to each other, and we seem to be getting along with each other fine now, but I know that the balance is rather unstable now and we aren't really close friends. We can consider ourselves friends—we are even chatting online and maybe soon we'll be dating—but still, there's a lot of uncertainties along the way.But with her promise, I find myself reconsidering everything. She's taking this step forward first of all this time around, unlike how it has been ever since, with me always being the one to push things in order to get in the town quicker. I feel very happy and light-hearted. I wonder if she is for real, and I ask her something in that line."You're welcome," she tells me, an

Chapter 52 – Luca RomanoIt takes me quite a while, but I smile to see that I am finally at home. I stare out of the window of the sitting room, somehow feeling a little annoyed that I'm not with my dad yet. He's supposed to be here as soon as possible to talk with me, but instead, he isn't. It's natural for him to keep me waiting. So, why am I angry at him? I'm trying to get to Kira—I want to talk with her. She's the one person I always want to talk to, after all. However, she's not online. I'm not about to call her again, just in case she needs space."Who's making still? In other words—Debbie!" I exclaim. I find my sister online; for some reason, she's not usually like that, so I am very surprised. I decide to spend some time talking with her for months instead of simply treating her as some sort of competition all the time. "So, what will happen to you?" she asks me. "And how did you get out of the skate bed?""I will only answer your questions if I have my lawyer with me," I repl

Chapter 53Luca Romano My dad looks straight at me, staring into my eyes as if trying to boil through my brain just to figure out what is actually going on in my mind. I stare steadfastly in response, deciding that I'm going to keep him engaged and that I'm not going to bow down. He nods at me, as if I'm satisfied with what he's saying."We can get everything back from them," he says. "We're going to have to take them all down—all of them—because they are impudent. They're actually going overboard by striking us, too—black and gay—and so we're going to take them." He tells me, "It's all the same for that." With no further response, it sounds as if he's just bluffing, but I know my dad. It's more than bluffing. Everything he's saying now is dead serious, and he's going to do whatever he says. Moreover, he's going to end up becoming a major motive—a major goal—for us over the next couple of months. Now he’s going to be totally fixated on wiping out the Shadow Fang all by himself.I kno

Chapter 54 - Luca RomanoMy dad doesn't give me much information when I ask him. He remains cryptic, saying a couple of vague words now—literally anyone can come up with. Personally, I feel a little annoyed at him for hiding it from me. Whatever role he thinks I have to play in this, I somehow feel like I won't be willing to do it, whatever the hell he wants to actually get me to do. But I don't complain now, especially since I don't know what he's thinking when he stares at me like that. He's having a kind of wicked thought in mind. I make sure not to meet his eyes as he stands up."You should get ready," he tells me. "Just as they are trying to target you, and getting you is climactic in them winning this particular fight. They are going to use you as the method of winning this for ourselves," he told me. I had no idea what he was talking about, but I knew that since it was my dad who was talking, I could trust that he was dead serious with everything he was saying, and that he wasn

Chapter 55 Elena Romano"I wonder what I'll do if I'm put in his current position, if I'm faced with the dangers that he has to go through on a regular basis now."As I look at him, already zoned out while talking with my dad, I start to feel pity for him. He has gone through so much, and the only crime he has committed for everyone to want to kill him so badly—and for everyone, even my dad, wanting him to be a pawn in their own game—is simply being the heir and the next leader of the Romano Empire.Sometimes when I think about what he has to go through and what he has endured so far, I start to wonder whether I actually want this for myself. Why am I fighting to get his position from him when it can be nothing more than a pain later on? I don't quite know, but somehow I can't bring myself to stop. I'm addicted to it. I'm drunk with the prospect of having all the power that comes with the Romano Empire. The mafia is a world that I have been dreaming of for all my life now, and I'm not

Chapter 56Elena RomanoI can hardly believe my eyes as I read through the message. Somehow, I'm starting to wonder if this thing is accurate at all, if I'm not just being played for a fool by the people that I proclaim to trust. It's not possible.First of all, I rush straight into the sitting room of the main house, wondering if the man that had been there a moment ago is gone. Surely enough, he is. Could he already be off to his company? Why would he not just choose to rest at home? I don't believe it yet. I go over and check his room quickly, rummaging through the things and stomping across the entire house, trying to find him. Maybe I should have simply sent some servants, but I can't really think about smart ways to do things right now.All I have is worry, worry for my brother, surprisingly. I don't really care now, do I? Why do I know wanting to die when dying is only going to make things easy for me? I tell myself that well, it's just because if he dies, I'll be the next targ

Chapter 57: Luca RomanoI walk into my car, deciding to ignore my sister and her tons of little trite warnings and everything else. Sure, I'd almost been killed just now, but it doesn't mean that I'm going to neglect my duties as the CEO of my company. I need to make the company work, I need to bring it up, so I have no other goal in my mind right now than to go there simply and then talk some sense into the lot of them.Getting the company to move forward even if by just 0.01%—it's all I can really do now, after all. I just want to manage it as efficiently as possible because I seem to somehow think that is my only option in all these issues and all these unsettled occurrences. I would deal with my dad later. I will figure out whatever he plans to do, how he plans to use me in order to get the Shadow Fang down, but as for now, I would simply relax a little.Maybe I should just rest a bit, I think to myself. It's a very tempting thought, but I just don't want to right now. I don't kno

Chapter 58 Luca Romano Upon seeing Kira here, I suddenly feel a sense of safety and confidence. The kidnapping has been unexpected, and she obviously doesn't have anything to do with it, but now here she is with me. I know that she won't let them hurt me. I don't know how much control she has over them, but the moment she shows up, they seem to be a little terrified, and they stand at respectful distances. She tells them to leave, and they obey, much to my surprise but also delight. They enter the car she came in, and they drive away speedily without any form of hesitation, though some of them frown obviously in disapproval. They have a mission to accomplish, and she has just stopped them. I think about it - what if they didn't go so easily? What if it came down to a fight? I don't know how it would have ended up. She might be able to defend herself and even take them down, but what about me? If they decided to use me as a hostage, if they wanted to harm me and simply complete th

Chapter 59Kira RogersI am completely shocked to hear that some of the minor assassins have been sent after him once again. Seriously, doesn't Dante rest? I expect that he would only find out about the failed mission about a day or two after I foiled it. After all, Xavier is someone that I don't expect him to distrust. I think that Xavier pretty much is the mission, and because of that, I expect him to be relaxed, but he's actually keeping up to date. That's one way of me knowing that he's very serious about what he wants, and he's not going to let Lucas escape.Lucas's life is in danger more than anything now, more than ever, but I don't know how to save him. I don't know where to start. With the information that five of them have gone after him to take him captive, I know that I need to act quickly. If not, sooner or later he'd be here, and then doing anything would be black and betrayal that's going to end in bloodshed and probably my death. There's an extent I can help him too, a

Chapter 60Luca RomanoWith a sudden change in thought, I lead her to a restaurant. Having a good feeling about this, I drive there and smile to myself. A little tactic on my part, but I am afraid to think that she doesn't notice it. The smile she gives me, one of acceptance and "sure, why not," makes me jump in excitement within. We are going to have our first proper date. I really hope it wouldn't be the last, but I know what the chances are, so I make sure to make up my mind to enjoy this as much as possible.I also make the most of the time I have to spend with her while I still have the chance. We enter into the restaurant and I look around at the various people, mostly couples. We'll be one of them, I think to myself, smiling as I look at her. I don't know what she would tell me if I ask - no, I shouldn't yet. It's not time. I saw the look in her eyes, how she closed them the last time before I brought her out of the car. She's a bit complicated even now, and I need to make sure
