Filed to story: Bring It On My Mafia Life Novel (Rhea & Lukas)
And Adele?
…..
Truthfully, Lukas had no bad blood with her, he liked her actually. However, she was from the side of the family he didn’t exactly trust and as much as she was a half-blood and bore resentment against the people that raised her, it was still not enough. People could still get ideas with time and Lukas had to uproot that thought forever before it grew deep enough to be executed.
So he simply invited her for a swim – and didn’t attempt to drown her the way her half-siblings did. Adele had a phobia for pools yet she had a pool constructed in her home. What a strong woman.
And for his uncle, Benjamin, and his wife, let’s just say the loss of a child is considered the single worst stressor a person can go through. But since they lost two already, they should be able to endure another, right?
It wasn’t exactly hard to find broken criminals tired of living. So after a satisfactory compensation – that would be sent to his family after his death – Lukas sent him their way. He hoped his uncle and his wife enjoyed his present – it wasn’t every day you get to watch a good bloody show.
And the others…..
Robert was hardly able to contain his anger when his phone began to ring. At first, he ignored it seeing that he wasn’t in the best mood, but the incessant ringing annoyed him the more and he picked the phone from the ground where he tossed it earlier in a fit of anger, intending to silence it only to see his brother’s name flash across the screen.
A sneer crossed his lips, what was Benjamin calling to do? For sure he was not about to rub his victory in his face, right?
Nonetheless, he answered the call while bracing himself and barely said, “Hello?” when he heard his brother’s panicky voice come from the other end.
“R-Robert,” He choked.
Robert stood a little straight, something wasn’t right here. His brother seemed to be scared and that was strange.
“What is going on?”
“I-I….M-m-an… k-k” he kept stuttering over his words and Robert was unable to understand a thing.
“Wait, I’m coming over,” He decided and ended the call.
Without informing any member of the household of his whereabouts, Robert went to the garage where he picked one of his armored cars and drove off.
Numerous thoughts filled his head as he thought of what could make his brother that scared. Thanks to the distraction, Robert was unable to see that he was being trailed and it wasn’t until one of the cars overtook him that he was able to stop at the last minute.
Robert stepped on the brake and came to an abrupt stop, his heart pounding loud in his throat. Looking out through the mirror, he spotted at least five men stepping out of their rides with guns in their hands and they opened an overwhelming long-range fire at him.
“Oh shit!” Robert cursed and dropped down just as a hail of bullets rained down on his car.
During the whole assault, Robert didn’t dare to lift his head, scrunched down in his driver’s seat. For once, he was grateful to have made the right decision by trusting his instinct.
On his way here, Robert had the good sense to make use of his bulletproof car. Although Benjamin was his brother, what if this was a trap?
If he died, his brother wouldn’t have any drawback – in the form of him – to use his daughter to usurp Lukas’s position.
Robert laughed coldly, to think that he had been planning to settle his brother’s children in a good position in the organization when his son Arthur becomes the underboss and their plan of eliminating Lukas is realized. This is why they said, ‘there’s no brother in the jungle’. If he survived this, Robert promised to make Benjamin back for this low move.
And God answered his prayer, after a few minutes of endless shooting, his attackers left when their bullets were unable to penetrate the car, although it left dents and proof of the horror he went through.
It took Robert complete fifteen minutes to confirm that his attackers had left and he was safe. Even when he made it outside, he couldn’t stop shaking while his gaze froze over with the promise of revenge.
Benjamin would pay for this.
Revenge Was Best Served Tasty And Bountiful
Robert thought he left unnoticed, however, his wife noticed when he left. And with his absence, she was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
She must have been crazy to have married that man in the first place, but then, what woman in her right mind would reject a man with money. And honestly, Robert hasn’t been like that in the beginning.
When they had met, he was very sweet, loving, and kind, although she knew he had anger management issues and witnessed it, not once not twice.
Yet she thought that with time he would change, but that remained a Piper’s dream. Robert’s anger only grew with his unhealthy resolve to unseat Daniel and his heir from the boss position. And her once loving husband turned into someone she couldn’t recognize anymore. So here they are stuck in a loveless marriage – and she couldn’t let go of Robert because of the benefits and the risks with it.
Robert’s wife strolled the house to further confirm her husband was truly gone before she was able to relax. Now, she could finally sleep in peace knowing her husband would be back tomorrow. With their kind of family’s business, it wasn’t uncommon for her husband to leave in the middle of the night.
The woman went back to her room and hardly put her head on her pillow when her phone lit up. She looked down to find out she had a message from an unknown number.
Curious yet tensed – with what happened today – she slowly opened the message only to see,
[I know what you did last summer]
At once, her heart skipped a beat as she thought over the possibilities of what the sender was trying to imply. What had she done… Oh no, it couldn’t be…
…..
To confirm her fears, another message popped into her phone instantly. Swallowing down the lump in her throat, she opened it cautiously, and upon seeing the picture displayed widely on her screen, the woman jerked up to her feet.
“H-how…. did,” Her body began to shake in fear and she looked around the room as if trying to locate where the sender was hiding.
Her heart rate increased drastically as she stared live at the picture of her and her young lover together? How was this possible? She thought she had been so meticulous with her activities that even the guards with her weren’t aware of her affair.
It was during her vacation two years ago that she got involved with her young lover by chance. However, a mistake committed twice becomes a decision and that decision gave birth to a sizzling affair she had done a good job of hiding until now.
“No, no… please!” She sobbed out knowing it would be the end of her if Robert gets knowledge of this.
So she quickly typed, [What do you want from me? I’ll give you anything, just name your price], She was practically begging. Anything just to keep his or her mouth closed, she didn’t exactly care at the moment.
[What do I want?]
Was the sender’s question.
[Yes, just say a word and I’ll grant it immediately]
This time, as if the sender was playing games with her, he was gone for almost five minutes before the message finally came into her phone.
[I don’t need anything from you, I’m just a concerned member of the society who stumbled upon the information]
And for some reason, that reply hit home and that was what she connected the dots together and she gasped in shock.
“Lukas!” She breathed, her hands and lips trembling in fear. She was a goner, that little bastard would ruin her for what it was worth. It was a stupid move to stand against him earlier today. She regretted her decisions now.
