As Romeo's request echoed through the brewery store, the manager's brows furrowed in irritation. With a terse nod, he motioned to one of his staff members, barking orders for a carton of Budweiser to be fetched. The staff hurried off, disappearing into the maze of shelves and refrigerators, soon returning with the requested carton.Reluctantly, the manager accepted the carton from his subordinate, eyeing Romeo with a mixture of disdain and apprehension. "Here you go," he muttered tersely, thrusting the carton towards Romeo. "Now get out of this place before I call the cops on you. Your presence is a nuisance here."Romeo's lips curled into a sneer as he snatched the carton from the manager's grasp. "Fine," he retorted, his words dripped with sarcasm. "I'll leave. But not before I teach you a lesson in manners."With lightning speed, Romeo's hand lashed out, delivering a dirty slap across the manager's face.

As the van rumbled on, hurtling towards an uncertain fate, Romeo's mind raced with memories of his cousin Joseph's warnings about Don Frago. The van pressed on, swallowing the miles with relentless determination, its wheels carving a path towards an unknown destination.

As Romeo fell into the depths of the grave, his senses spiraled into confusion. He expected to find himself in another realm, far from the clutches of death. However, as he struggled to open his eyes, he realized with a sinking feeling that he remained trapped within the confines of the cold earth. His fingers brushed against the gritty sand, and he desperately pinched himself, hoping for any sign of life amidst the suffocating darkness that enveloped him.Meanwhile, Don Frago's steely gaze shifted towards the fallen bodies of his men lying motionless beside the open grave, their lives snuffed out by his own hand. With a practiced flick of his wrist, he blew off the smoke lingering from his gun, a silent acknowledgment of the violence he had wrought."Get that dude out of there," Don Frago commanded his men, his tone betraying no hint of emotion as he issued the order. The henchmen beside him moved swiftly, their movements efficient as they reached down to retrieve Romeo from the
"You see, Romeo, now that Flanagan's memory has been wiped out," Don Frago began, with his voice carrying the weight of uncertainty, "I and my men would have no major jobs that could bring us good money, and you know, even though my men are loyal to me, they are like my children. I need to be there for them... I need money to maintain my organization."He meant his mafia gang.Romeo turned around to see the dead bodies of Don Frago's men that were just killed moments ago. "You say your men are loyal, right?""Yes," Don Frago replied, his tone was firm."What makes you think that you are going to strengthen the bond between you and your men after killing some of them without reason not too long ago?" Romeo's voice was filled with a mix of concern and skepticism."Those ones?" Don Frago gestured towards the fallen bodies that were close to the grave, his expression turned colder. "They betrayed me, they were acting as spies for one of my rivals.""What do you mean?" Romeo pressed, his c

Romeo looked confused."For three days now, I haven't seen you, you haven't called me even.""Oh, I am so so sorry about that okay, I was busy, like extremely busy and…""What kind of excuse is that Romeo." Anna felt agitated. "What amount of business would make you not to call me to even say high?""I am sorry Anna…""Something tells me you are seeing another lady." Anna put up a cautious tone there at the background."Come on Anna, stop thinking like that.""Prove me wrong then.""Anna look, I was caught up with something, I cannot disclose it to you but it was a matter of life and death, and I swear to God I am not cheating on you, come on, why would I?"After a few muffled breaths on the background Anna said. "I believe you, not because you are innocent but because I choose to believe you.""I am glad
