Despite Steven Gold’s promise to forget Anita after the first time, he couldn’t. Her thoughts came to his mind every day and her little features became more noticeable to him. This confused him. She had a nice smile. Her dressing sense was aesthetic. She drank a lot of water. She was nice to other servants. She was highly organized and kept to time. She was a peacemaker and people pleaser. Though she was strict with her job, she did all she could not to hurt people’s feelings. These were features he never noticed before. They grew closer unknowingly and he visited her room a couple of nights to talk and have hot sex. The bond he wanted to instill in her worked, but now he was caught in it. He couldn’t leave her. He couldn’t let her go for a day. It was as if they shared a thing he didn’t know. They weren’t in a relationship. They were in a situationship which could crumble at any minute. As for Anita’s boyfriend. She broke up with him. Steven couldn’t understand why she did that, bu

“I heard you want to join the Mafia,” Mr Jones said when Steven walked into his office. What did Rica tell her father this time? Whatever convincing she did wasn’t working. “You are crazy to think I will let you work with me. A mere servant who cleans my damn car?! What’s this nonsense?! Grass to Grace?!”“Mr Jones, it is not like that.”“O! You keep your mouth shut you peasant! I picked you from nothing! What exactly can you do?”“Dad, cut it out.” A voice said from the door as it barged open. Rica came at the perfect timing. What a relief! Steven didn’t know what to say to her father anyway. The man was hard to please. “Steven wants to avenge his sister’s death. There is nothing wrong if he spills some people’s blood.”Okay! This lady was twisting his words. He didn’t say anything about killing people. He only said he wanted to ruin his father. “I didn’t say that, Rica,” he whispered to her, but it was his mistake! She wasn’t human. She sat before her father.“Shut up Steven. You w

Later that night, they drove to the Yellow Sulphur company. Steven was tense, but he maintained his cool. The company didn’t produce Yellow Sulphur as it implied. They just had a perfume named that.“How creative.” He thought with sarcasm. Who would buy a perfume with that name? Everyone knew they didn’t open the company to sell it. They just wanted to cover up their crimes pretending to be a perfume company.The driver, who was one of the mafias, stopped them at the checkpoint and they were questioned. “What do you want?” One of the guards asked, waving his gun at them. “We are here to deliver Blue Pills.” Steven said. “What supplier?” Steven was silent. Rica didn’t tell him about any supplier. “Tell him Castlone.” He heard her faint voice through his ear pod. “Did you hear my question?” The guard asked in anger. “No,” Steven lied. “What did you ask again?”“I asked who your supplier is. If you have no response, step out of the car.”“Sorry, you didn’t speak loud.” he rolled h

Steven wasn’t able to get over Anita easily. She left for her own good. Her safety mattered more to him than his freaking feelings. Well! That was it then. He would never see her again. Rica was his right hand now. And he had no other choice but to be stuck with her.“How are you feeling?” Her father asked two days later. Mr Jonez invited him for a coffee. “Worse than ever.” Steven was blunt.“I understand,” the old man nodded. “Forgive me for not cautioning my daughter. I didn’t know she would betray you like that.”“You didn’t know?” Steven was disappointed. “She is your freaking daughter. You should know how she thinks!”“Steven, it won’t happen again. I promise.”“I cannot bear her.”Mr Jones looked indifferent.“Make her happy, and I will protect you. A deal is a deal.”“That’s what I am trying to do here. She makes it difficult for me.”“I doubt,” Mr Jones opened his drawer. “She called me last night, nagging you cannot handle a gun. She won’t always be there to protect you, St

Steven’s mother walked in with two bodyguards, dangling her golden handbag. At the sight of her son, the bag fell from her hand in shock. “Steven?” She wasn’t sure it was him she saw. He changed a lot over the years. His change wasn’t for the better. His change was for the worse, due to his scars and reckless look. Steven sharply turned to Rica. “You knew she was going to be here?”“I….I know she represents Mr Gold as the Mafia Lord sometimes. But I didn’t know she would come today.”Steven was mad! He stood up with a look of betrayal. It all made sense now! Rica threatened his mother’s life because she knew she was accessible. She knew she was the most vulnerable. “I will never forgive you for this!” He snapped at her, before turning to his mother. His mother was in tears. She hugged him tightly and didn’t let him go for three minutes straight. “What are you doing here?” He asked, controlling his own tears. It was tough. His mother’s sight overwhelmed him too much.“Your father
