Son-in-law

I’d just wrapped up a short trip with my daughter, Elara. On the way back, I figured I’d swing by the Hale, our family’s casino, to check in on my son, Cassian. Maybe grab dinner together. I didn’t expect to be mistaken for his latest fling. Correction: not mistaken—accused. Violently. “You think you can just waltz in here like some queen?” she hissed. “I’m the woman Cassian loves! What kind of whore are you? And is this your bastard daughter with him?” She locked us in the basement. No phone. No light. Just concrete walls and the stench of mildew and madness. Then came the fists. She slapped me across the face—again and again—until my skin stung and my ears rang. When that didn’t satisfy her, she pulled a gun and aimed low. The bullet tore through my knee. I bit back a scream, shielding Elara with my body. “You need to die, whore,” she spat. One of her men hesitated, “We should at least tell Mr. Hale first. If we are going to kill these two in his casino.” Lila of course said no. But that man brought Cassian anyway. My son stepped into this dark little room like it was any other Tuesday—until he saw me. His whole body went still. The blood drained from his face. And then, in the smallest, most broken voice I’d ever heard from him, he whispered, “Mom? What are you doing in my basement?”

Is this going to create a strong bond or a massive wall between them? How could Zelica live with Hideo on just one roof? He is a nonchalant person, sobrang ilap nito at malimit kumausap ng tao. Ultimo mga kaibigan nito ay para bang napipilitan pa nitong kausapin. In an instant, his attitude towards her suddenly changed. The way he looks at her, comforting her, and being with her all the time. Pero alam niya ring mali ito dahil may fiancé ang binata dahil sa arranged marriage na plano ng ama ni Hideo. She frantically asked herself. “What the hell is going on with my life? Is the universe being with me?” But little did she know, behind his impeccable face and captivating actions, he is planning something that would certainly change her whole life. What if she falls into his trap and starts to deeply love him more than herself? In the eyes of society, it is sinful to be with him, and it is morally wrong to be with her step brother. She continued to forbid herself and resist the blazing temptation from him. Would she let herself build an indestructible wall between them or would she set aside everything and be unwavered enough to be with him?

“Please... spare my life,” she whispered, her voice trembling like the last leaf clinging to a winter branch. Blood trickled from her split lip as she pressed her forehead to the cold marble floor, her entire body shaking with terror. “I treasure what belongs to me,” he replied, his voice cold and deadly. His gloved hand gripped her chin, forcing her to meet his merciless gaze. “And as of tonight, little ghost... you belong to me.” Born from a one-night stand between a mafia lord and a maid, Liliana Orlov entered the world with her mother’s blood staining her face.

"Godfather! What?!" My head erupted.
