After landing in England, Weylin Turner deplaned. Rising his head up, he enjoyed the soothing sunshine that was touching his expanses of skin. His lips curved upwards into a gentle smile.
Hmm...this is the pleasant smell of England. I missed it too much.
"Enjoying the nice weather, huh?" Jace chuckled, glancing at his best friend.
"Of course!" Weylin laughed gently.
As he walked a few steps, a black Mercedes A 600 appeared, followed by a few black BMW 7 cars. Men dressed in complete black got down from the car, bowing to the young master.
"Welcome, young master."
The driver of Mercedes who was dressed in a black suit greeted him.
Weylin flashed a warm smile with a slight nod. No sooner had Weylin and Jace got into the Mercedes than they departed, destined to arrive at the Turner's Mansion.
After some time, Weylin arrived at the mansion- the place where he had millions of childhood memories with his father before he was sent away. The huge mansion seemed like a luxurious villa - a perfect place for a family vacation. Surrounding the mansion, there was a beautifully maintained garden which was perfect to enrich one's spirit and exude calm.
A big smile appeared on the young master's face as he walked on the paved way. The gigantic door opened, allowing him to walk inside his house.
"Welcome home, young master!"
As Weylin walked inside, followed by Jace and others, he was welcomed warmly by the butler.
"Uncle." Weylin's face glowed upon seeing the person who used to be his guardian in absence of his father.
Before he could walk a few steps toward the older man, a gunshot was heard, making everyone freeze in their positions. The next moment, the bodyguard who was standing just behind Weylin slumped on the floor. No sooner had the person fallen on the floor than the other bodyguards held him tight in his position, snatching away his hidden weapons.
"Miss Shadow! What's with this audacity?!" The butler yelled, making everyone look in the direction of the source of the sound.
"An intruder already?"
Shadow's voice sounded cold as she lowered her gun. Walking along the railing, she slowly started to come downstairs. Since her entire face was covered with a mask, not a single person could either understand her expressions or her motives.
"An intruder!?" Weylin exclaimed, watching the female figure standing before him.
"Greeting, young master," Shadow bowed to the young master with her fist on her chest. "My apologies. I didn't mean to surprise you like this but some bastard dared to make his way into this mansion without any invitation."
"But all of these people are our men, aren't they?" Jace asked in a grim tone.
"The one who slumped on the floor isn't," Shadow replied in a serious voice.
Walking to the man who was shot in the thigh, Shadow put her fingers beneath the man's chin. Forcibly pushing his chin upwards, she made him look at her.
"This face is completely new. I didn't send this man to fetch the young master." Suddenly Shadow pressed his cheeks, making the guy whimper in pain. "Who sent you here to follow the young master?"
"N-no o-one." The man huffed, unable to speak due to pain.
"Really?" Shadow gritted her teeth. Putting her foot on the very same place where he was shot, she pressed it hard, making him yelp in pain. "Are you planning to play games with me? Don't worry, Shadow is an expert when it comes to playing games." Snickering, she harshly let go of his face. "Lock him in the 'playroom'. I'll take care of him later."
"Yes, Miss."
The bodyguards who held the man in place dragged him away from the hall.
Meanwhile, Weylin observed the power and authority the lady held. He saw the fear and respect for her in everyone's eyes who were present there. He saw countless women in the USA but never ever did he see a woman who held this much power. It seemed like just a stare from her was enough to leave her subordinates trembling.
"What's your name?" Weylin asked, mesmerized by the power she held.
"It's Shadow," she replied politely.
"Only shadow?" Jace asked, frowning.
"Everyone addresses me by that name. I am not supposed to reveal my real name. It's an order from the master," Shadow replied, bowing.
"Hm?" Weylin glanced at the butler, asking him if her words were true.
"Yes, young master. Except for the master and me, no one is allowed to know." The butler answered.
"Alright." Weylin smiled but he was very unconvinced by the reason. What's with this woman? Hiding her identity even from me!? Don't worry, I am a pro when it comes to finding a person's identity.
"Young master, the master said that it will take a while before he comes here. Please take a bath," the butler informed. "Shadow has prepared everything."
"Thank you," Weylin flashed a flirty smile at the woman before following the butler to his room.
This guy will never change. Jace facepalmed internally as he saw his friend walking upstairs.
"Young master, let me show you your room," Shadow asserted, pulling Jace out of his thoughts.
"Ah! Thank you," Jace Smith laughed awkwardly, not used to being addressed as a young master. "Miss Shadow, please call me Jace. Young Master seems too much for me."
"Sure," Shadow replied, smiling gently.
Jace could clearly feel her slight smile behind her mask.
This lady surely has her own charms. Being as cold as ice and in the blink of an eye, she is all gentle and warm- just like the perfect opposites.
He grinned as he followed her.
Running his fingers through his wet hair, Weylin put his hand on the rim of the bathtub. Leaning on the edge of the tub, he took a deep breath, inhaling the relaxing lavender fragrance which was filled in the bathroom. The twilight bath bomb in the lukewarm made the bath even more pleasant."Shadow prepared all this…" Weylin trailed off, scrubbing his body. "Everything is just too perfect- the fragrance, the bath bomb, the temperature of the water and the atmosphere. How does she know everything about me? How did she come to know that lavender fragrance is my favourite? Most importantly, who is she!? She even denied revealing her real identity. On top of that, she has special approval from dad."These thoughts had been bothering him a lot for a while. No matter how much he tried to put the pieces together, Shadow seemed
Upon reaching his father's office, Weylin stood there, observing his surroundings.The walls were painted with grey colour. Most of the furniture seemed to be of limited edition and highly expensive. Weylin chuckled internally upon observing that most of the things were black coloured. Starting from the expensive couch to the shelves, most of the items were black coloured since black was Blake Turner's favourite colour.His taste is still the same. He can never step down from expensive and luxurious choices. Weylin smiled. He is the leader of 'The Devils' after all."How's your business going on?" Blake asked in a serious tone, serious enough to let
"What is this!?"Weylin frowned upon witnessing the bizarre scene.The intruder was tied with thick ropes to the chair while his neck was hanging to the side. He looked intact but his bitter facial expressions were enough to show that he experienced some harsh torture. He seemed to lose his consciousness after receiving 'special treatment' from Mr Chapman."How's it?"Shadow's cold voice reverberated in the cold room as she walked inside. Looking at the tied man for a while, she glanced at Mr Chapman."He is still alive. He just lost his consciousness," Mr Chapman replied. Sitting on The Eames Sofa, the young master was leaning comfortably against the soft cushion. His fingertips were tapping against the arm of the sofa, making a soft tapping noise. His sharp eyes were looking at the papers, going through the information. Rubbing his index finger on the edge of the paper, he turned the paper, finishing looking into the information."Garaine Jones…"Weylin mumbled, gazing at Garaine Jones's photo on the information papers. His lips were curved upwards into a slight smile."So she works at an orphanage, huh?" Weylin grinned, running his thumb against the photo. "An expert bike racer, and now a caregiver? I wonder if you have some other profession as well." Weylin was about to turn back and leave the place when his eyes fell on someone, leaving him thunderstruck.Garaine Jones was standing at the door, surrounded by the kids. Crouching, she was laughing heartily while the kids seemed to complain to her about something. Her long, jet black hair which was tied into a high bun moved a bit, as she laughed. A few naughty locks fell on her round face, making her look adorable. She was dressed in a light coloured shirt with dark blue jeans, keeping it simple yet elegant.Weylin couldn't take his eyes off her. Mesmerised by her beauty, he kept observing her every move with a slight smile on his face.How can a person emit two different auras at the same time? "Are you Weylin Turner, the well-known mafia leader?" Garaine asked out of blue, eyes filled with suspicion, making Weylin stop on his tracks.Weylin felt like his heart dropped for a moment. He never expected to hear these words from a person whom he had just met.How does she know about me!? Weylin thought, unconsciously staring at her. Am I that famous that even common people in England know about me?"Don't tell me you are really Weylin Turner!" Garaine gasped, eyes almost popping out of her sockets."Wait, Miss. What are you even saying?" Weylin's brows knitted together forming a frownThe Mafia's Not So Fluffy Romance Chapter 7

"You don't need to go alone when I am here."The biker spoke, making Garaine smile."Lucia!" Garaine grinned, as she rushed to her best friend. "How did you know that I am here?""Tsk," clicking her tongue, Lucia removed her helmet.Her long brownish curls hung a bit above her waist. Adjusting her biker's jacket, she ran her long, slender fingers through her hair, brushing it backwards. She sharply glanced at the men with scepticism evident in her eyes before returning her gaze to her friend."The locket of the chain, which you are wearing around your neck, has a tracker on it," Lucia arched her brows, shrugging her shoulders
"Lucia?" Garaine poked her best friend's shoulder blade slowly, expecting a reply from her. "Are you still angry with me?""I am riding the bike," Lucia uttered in a cold, serious tone, making her best friend pout.Since they had left the hotel, Lucia didn't speak a single word. Half of the bike ride was silent since Lucia avoided every single word uttered by Garaine. Soon they reached Garaine Jones's residence."Hm." Lucia hummed, telling Garaine that they had reached their destination.Garaine got down from the bike. She glanced at Lucia like a guilty child looking at her mother while the latter didn't even bother to take a glance at her. Pouting, Garaine stared at her best friend,
Garaine spent the next few weeks resting in Weylin’s bed. He didn’t want to take any risk and moved her to his room. He was so careful while taking care of her, providing the utmost love, support, and anchor to her that she left like she was some spoiled princess of some distant fantasy world. He provided everything from time to time starting from medicines to food. In his absence, his specially appointed maids took care of her. He even made time out of his busy schedule to accompany her on walks so that her recovery would speed up. His boundless dedication and great deal of care made her heart flutter, making her fall for him all over again. He even remembered what her favorite snack was and which brand she preferred. Through all the sweet loving moments, Garaine felt like something had changed in Weylin. Though he was being all lovey-dovey with her, giving her a princess treatment, she felt he was being somewhat distant. He seemed to distance himself from her after they reconci
"Divorce!?” Leysa gasped, putting her hand on her lips. “You are talking about divorce!” She turned toward her husband who was standing beside her while she was sitting on a chair. “Blake, is he really our child? Did you really inherit our genes?” Blake glanced at his wife, shaking his head at her dramatic remarks. He was at a loss of words when Lucia informed him about Weylin’s reckless decision. “Weylin, your father and I have been together for fifteen years,” Leysa stated proudly. “Never did he mention breaking up with me, or divorcing me even though I’m from a normal background. How can you think of divorcing her when she is a well-trained assassin?”Weylin didn’t say anything. His gaze was glued to the floor. A heartbroken Garaine kept taking glances at her husband, hoping that he would change his mind.Lucia was standing beside Garaine, comforting her best friend whenever she became tense while Jace stood beside Weylin. The way they were so engrossed in the serious conversatio
What’s this strong unpleasant odour? Antiseptics? Disinfectants? Where am I? Oh! I remember. I took the bullet that was meant for Mr. Turner. Seems like I’m in hospital right now. I can hear some indistinct voices. This voice. It's very familiar. Is It Mr. Turner?But what is he saying? I cannot hear it clearly. Please speak loudly. I wanna hear your voice. “Please wake up soon, Garaine. I can’t bear to see you like this. Please wake up for me.”I’m awake Mr. Turner! Mr- Wait, I can’t open my eyes. Ugh! I have to open my eyes. I want to see him. Is he crying? Why is his voice quivering? “Mr. Turner…” She croaked, blinking several times to adjust her vision. Weylin, who was holding her hand between his palms while touching it to his forehead, immediately looked up. His eyes widened as he saw her blinking at him. “Garaine, you are awake!” “Water,” she grunted.He immediately poured some water in the glass. Helping her to get up slowly, he held the rim of the glass near her lips.
Weylin’s eyes widened. “Don’t!” Weylin screamed. One of his most important principles was to never sacrifice his allies for his benefit and he couldn’t leave her to die when she had been his best friend since he rose to power as a mafia leader in the USA.“Drop your guns and let me get out of the mansion safely,” Oliver demanded shamelessly. Before he could take a step forward, cross-firing started. Taking advantage of the situation, they collected their guns and hid behind whatever furniture they found nearby. Blake along with Leysa hid behind a massive pillar.Leysa tightly hugged Blake, hiding from the gun sounds. Suddenly, a stream of memories of the incident where she lost her memories played in her mind. The situation where she lost her memories was no different from what was going on right now. She started to feel dizzy. She cupped her head, trying to soothe the head-splitting headache. A chain of events where she was separated from Blake and her child flashed in her mind. B
“Is everything alright?” Shadow asked in an utter grim tone. “Yes, master.” The reply came from the other side of the call. “Our men encircled the Davies’s mansion and we are keeping an eye on their every move from the shadows. They don’t seem to notice us.” “Good! We will be there within ten minutes,” Shadow said. “Everything should go according to the plan.”“Roger!”“What’s up?” Weylin asked, focusing on the road as he was driving. “Everything is going according to the plan,” Shadow informed. “We will just have to barge in and kidnap Madame Turner. Spider is more than prepared for this. If needed our men wouldn’t hesitate to open fire and kill Oliver Davies.”“Killing the Davies is also one of the most important tasks for today’s mission,” Weylin asserted. “If we fail to put an end to Oliver, Mirela will do it.”“I hope she wouldn't change teams at the nick of the moment,” Shadow mumbled, not trusting her enemy’s daughter even for a second. “She won’t,” Weylin replied firmly,
"Where are you, Spider?” Shadow asked, sitting opposite to Blake Turner in a luxury restaurant. “How long will it take for you to reach the said location?”“Aw…my darling, Shadow, do you miss me that much?” Spider responded from the other side of the call. “It seems like you can’t bear to wait a second more to meet me. Do you miss me that badly?”“Cut the bullshit.” Shadow rolled her eyes while Blake keenly observed her facial expressions. “Do you even know how long we are waiting here? It has been almost 2 hours.’“Aw…my baby has been waiting for that long?” Spider’s voice sounded like a teenage girl fangirling over her favourite idol. “You love me that much?”The voice from the other side of the call was so loud that Blake could hear her. He chuckled, listening to their banter. Shadow glanced at Blake who seemed to enjoy the situation. He signalled her with his eyes to answer instead of gazing at him. “My darling Spider, I swear if you spout nonsense again, I’ll make sure to bury
“What?”Garaine flinched. Subconsciously, she touched her face only to feel her mask. She heaved a sigh of relief as her cover didn’t blow. “Why are you covering your face like that?” Weylin frowned, narrowing his eyes. “Take that annoying mask off your face first. I cannot see your beautiful face.”He reached his hand out to take her mask off when she leaned back, making it impossible for him to touch her mask.“What are you doing, young master?!” Garaine exclaimed. “God! He is so out of it”. She mumbled, rolling her eyes. “I guess these drunkyards left me with no other choice.”“What are you mumbling?” Blake looked at her. “My apologies but I have to do this.” Garaine gave a sudden blow at Blake’s neck, hitting his carotid artery, knocking him unconscious. She held him by his waist to prevent him from falling on the floor and sustaining injuries. “What did you do to my father?” Weylin looked at her with horror in his eyes. “The next in the line is you.”Garaine stretched her li
"I need to distract myself.” Weylin lightly slapped his cheeks and climbed the stairs to his father’s office. It was 10 am and he planned to keep himself as busy as possible to avoid the reminiscence of the events revolving around Garaine. As he climbed a few more steps, a waft of alcohol assaulted his nose. He stopped in his tracks. “Alcohol?” Weylin frowned. “Who is drinking alcohol this early in the morning?” He quickly reached his father’s door when the scent of alcohol intensified. He gasped when the realization hit him. “Don’t tell me Father…""Father!" He opened the door with a loud bang without caring to knock. As soon as he opened the door, his eyes almost popped out of his sockets while his jaws slacked at the sight that was welcoming him. Blake was sitting on the floor with his head buried in his arm on the table. He was holding his wife's huge portrait with the other hand. His blazer was pitifully lying on the floor as the owner seemed to discard it hours ago. His wh
Garaine turned around only to find her husband sitting on the couch. She gulped nervously as she realized what would happen next. She tried to read her husband’s expression but since the room was dimly lit, she failed. “You are supposed to be sleeping now. Why aren’t you sleeping?” Garaine spoke, trying to mask the anxiousness on her face.“That’s not important, Garaine.” Weylin stood up and took a step forward. ”I'm not letting you off the hook today.”Weylin’s voice was cold enough to send chills down her spine. Garaine lowered her gaze as she knew she had no escape today. It's natural for a loving husband to worry for his wife and Weylin was indeed a very loving husband. He was just worried about her.She parted her lips but she just couldn’t bring herself to spill the beans about her deepest secret to her husband. Thousands of unwanted negative thoughts started to gnaw her mind. What if he starts hating me? What if he stops loving me? He actually fell for my caring side, not for
