And the rest of the guys. I sat my cognac on the side table, watching through the one-way glass as politicians, criminals, and the rich equally squirmed. I hated all those fuckers. I hated the criminals that pretended they were better even more. Like the fucking Romanos. We were all killers and sinners. One big difference - my friends and I only killed when we needed to. Or for revenge. Many of these men killed for power, money, sport, or even pleasure. And some even use their own family to try and get ahead.

"Yes, but it's said that it's a very serious one and the people involved are not ordinary." "Who are we expected to save? The strangers in the forest of the rogues?" "The strangers are the victims. The rogues are the attackers according to our source so we are definitely saving the stranger," he replied to me and I couldn't help but nod my head. "Have our warriors pick up their weapons and move now. Come with me!" I then said and stood up to leave my pack.

But those moments were fleeting, disappearing almost as quickly as they appeared. And now, this marriage, this arrangement, wasn’t about love or even mutual respect.

Eva shied away from his gaze and eyes, feeling the beauty of the place. She can't believe that such a place exists. “What's the mystery about this hidden place, Henry?“ She was so curious to know, and with the way she was still looking around the environment, Henry smiled at her. “Eva, the mystery behind this place is love and hate.“ He sounded so cool. “What is it all about?“ Eva felt she should know everything.“Do you want to hear a story?“ He asked her, and she nodded her head in response to his question.He held her hand as he began to tell her the story. “Hatred and love were the definitions of a family.
