Duke can't believe what he has just heard right now, he looks at him like he has gone crazy or something. " But you said that she died. Her school was attacked and she was the only one who was killed. "" Missing. " Bloom corrects. " She was assumed dead because she never returned after the attack, but here she is. "Duke turns to look at the girl, she is giving him a death glare like they have a century-old beef. She walks up to her, having lost all the patience he had earlier on. He grabs the arms of her chair and pulls her onto the seat, close to him. Her eyes widen and her back presses more into the chair. " What the hell are you doing?" She presses her back into the chair even more. "Listen, kid, I know that we have just met a few minutes ago, but I am going to tell you one thing about me. " He tells her. " I am not a patient man, especially not with crazy teens. You better answer my questions before I rip your head off. " She just sits there, blinking at him, not even the

Duke is in the hospital reception with Eden. He is sitting across from her and she is glaring at him. He is tapping his foot on the ground, he doesn't mind the mean looks that she is giving to him. " Hey. " She calls at him, but he won't look at her. She sits at the edge of her seat so that she is closer to him. " When we get back to your house, I am going to kill you. " She threatens. " And I won't think twice about it, I promise. "" Don't worry, we will be over with this and then you can do whatever you want. " He scoffs. She folds her hands and looks away, she is boiling over with rage. A doctor walks in, he has a file in his hand and he smiles respectfully when he sees Duke. " Good day, General. " He bows as he shakes Duke's hand. " Good morning, doctor. " Duke answers. " Is this her?" The Doctor gestures to Eden. " Let's all go to the office, shall we?"He turns and walks in a direction, Duke nods and gives her a look. She draws a sigh, but she goes after the doctor.

Duke rubs his strained neck, it has been a few days and he is sure that he has given Eden much time to think all through. He walks to her room– she hasn't stepped out of it for some days now. He holds out his hand and knocks on the door, he is very determined to have a long talk with her today. To his surprise, the door opens almost after he has knocked on it. She steps out, looking like she hasn't slept. " Hey, can I come into your room?" He requests. " I mean, it's your house, but no. " She stands. " Let's stay right here."Duke can only stare at her. Sometimes he thinks that it's just sibling rivalry, but it's more than that. It's like they are mortal enemies or something. " I want to talk to you about something. I know there is a lot you want us to talk about too." He says. " That's right because I was going to come to your room." She adds. "Oh."" Look, I am going to let you come in, but don't be touchy." She warns. She opens the door and he enters. She is very tidy, th

137... Lord Barrett was young and vibrant and owned one of the biggest Mafia in the world and how could not fall for him?He was dangerous and that was what pulled me to him. I was married to a man almost three times my age and Lord Barrett was just all the fun I needed. My husband died shortly after and I intensified my secret romance. I was leading my husband's mafia too. We had to bring our love affair to an end because he became the Grand Lord. I didn't know about this, until recently. I was a Lord in the brotherhood because of my affluence, but partially because I fucked the Grand Lord too. I found out about the plot against your family from him and I knew I couldn't interfere, but I had to save you guys. I made a plan to quietly pick out your sister, but I had plans for you to fight your way out. Thank heavens you did and escaped. Your sister was the child that I never had and I love her with all of my heart. I made her my heir and taught her how to survive in a world of

Duke almost laughs and that's because he is angry with himself. Sometimes he forgets just what kind of man Mister Jimmy is. Of course, Mister Jimmy has connected with Ansel Barrett, who is very determined to keep on his father's legacy. Of course, Ansel wants to build back the brotherhood and of course, Mister Jimmy has become part of it. He has forgotten that even the president of the country is not safe from Ansel's fan club fever. Duke is so mad that his hands stiffen on the table and if he has a glass in his hand, he would crush it this instant. Mister Jimmy notices the anger on his face and he gives a nervous laugh and waves his secretary away with a stern look. " Why do you look so shocked?" He asks Duke. " I killed Lord Barrett, the grand Lord. " Duke answers. " Why is there another?"Mister Jimmy coughs and pulls closer to Duke. " Son, you don't understand, do you?" He whispers. " The great five have been here for long decades and they will continue to be here. You ki
