‘Hand in hand, on the edge of the sand, they danced by the light of the moon. Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass; it’s about learning to dance in the rain.’
Drake frozen in place when he saw his whole family members. He was very shock to his bones as he stare at them.
“Look at me!” Paul says sharply causing everyone in the room to turn their head towards him.
“Take this calculator and do this equation for me drake.” Paul said to him.
With shaking hands, Drake holds the calculator.
“5+10+2 (Plus the full numbers of your wife name), tell me the answer Drake.” Paul continues.
Working it out,
“It’s 27.” Drake answers with a voice filled with fear.
“Correct, now so 27 minus 15.” Paul says.
“That answer is 12.” Drake replied.
Paul turn to Michael and says “Hand him a knife.”
Michael looks shocks at first but does as he was told as he gave the knife to Drake, who collected it from him with shaking hands.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Turning to Simon, one of his men, “Take the kids out and let them go.”
Simon quickly gets to action, taking the kids out of the office.
Paul smiled in satisfaction at the shaking man in front of him.
“I want you to slice each of your family members except your wife once on the shoulder.” Paul told him.
“But…” Drake started but was stopped by the gun that is now pointed on his father’s head.
“You either do that or I kill them, the choice is yours Drake.” Paul warned him in a harsh tone.
Tears began falling out from his eyes as he stood up to do as he was instructed.
With every slice, he hears one of his family members scream in pain, making him feel even more regret for what he did and pain knowing that he is the reason his family is in this situation.
Once done he hears his boss voice again.
“Take them out and set them free.” He told Gabriel, another of his men.
Making Drake sign in relief but stops when Paul continues.
“Except the wife of course.” He added.
Paul enjoyed watching Drake suffers and he is also enjoying playing with his emotions.
But this is the guy who stole from him and he doesn’t show any mercy to those who betray him.
“Slice both your wife shoulders.” Paul told him with a smirk.
Drake slowly made his way towards his trembling wife, telling her how sorry he his with his eyes.
She just nods as her husband slice both her shoulders, making her scream in pain.
“Take her out.” Paul says. “And all of you also go out.” He added.
His men and Drake’s wife left the office as Drake went back to sit in front of Paul again.
“We have a lot to discuss Drake, how about we start from the beginning, why did you steal from me?”
30 minutes later…
Paul watches as Michael takes Drake out, he had ordered him to take him to the desert and kill him.
Such a lose, he was a good worker.
He sigh and open the paperwork Drake had brought to him few minutes ago.
His cell phone rang, he brought it out from his pocket and answer it without checking the callers name.
“Hey son.” Robert Mirror deep baritone voice came out from the speaker.
“Hey dad.”
“I was just calling to tell you that I miss your cooking son, when are you coming home?” Robert asked.
“In about two hours from now dad, I am going through some works. Drake is dead, I killed him.” Paul said without missing a word.
“Oh, what did he do?” Robert Paul asked not surprise.
“He stole from the company, he sold the drugs that were meant for our Russian business. This would be the third time he had stolen the drugs, he thinks he would get away from this again.” Paul told Robert, using one of his shoulder to hold the phone against his ear and continue signing the paperwork.
“You mean drake stole two times and you left him?”
“Yes dad, but stealing this third time shows he deliberately did it.”
“Paul how could you let a man steal from us not once or twice and you allow him to live? What have I been teaching you Paul. In this game of Mafia, ruthless is the key to gain respect amongst your follow Mafia’s. You have to be tough like I did when I was your age. How do you think I achieve all that I have today if I keep giving those I had killed a second chance? Someone steals and you let the person live until he stole the third time? Don’t try such mistakes again, that is not how Mafia boss do, we are pitiless, do you understand?” Robert said.
He had always told his son, having any sort of soft feelings for his victims isn’t allowed in the law of Mafia. They see such person like weaklings.
“Sorry dad, it won’t happen again.” Paul promised.
“I hope so Paul, do and come back home, I am dying to have one of your special delicacy today. I bless the day you were given to me. Love you son.”
“Love you too dad.” Paul said with a smile
“See you soon.” Robert said and cut the call.
According to his father, he had an accident some years back and was in a Coma for nearly two years. The first time he had opened his eyes he met Robert smiling down at him.
“My son, you’re finally awake!”
He couldn’t remember who the man was or why he had called him his son. The doctor said it was because of his Amnesia he couldn’t remember his father. He didn’t believe the doctor until his father had showed him various pictures he took together with him, he then believed him.
He later got to find out that he could cook when he tried to cook for his father, ever since then, he usually prepares meals whenever Robert asked him.
Robert was glad at the bonus discovery. Who could cook like his son? No one.
His father then told him about his life and how ruthless he was before his accident. He taught Paul everything he needed to know about Mafia, and made him ruthless, cold-hearted even.
Robert Mirror said to him the day he was handling over the company to him.
“Murders came with smiles, shooting people was no big deal for us son. Judges, lawyers and politicians have a license to steal. We don’t need one, because we help them. The blood of Mafia runs in you son, don’t forget that.”
Even though he was seen as a monster to the world, that didn’t stop ladies from going after him. He was handsome, so stunning that ladies marvel at his sight. One thing they wouldn’t understand about him was that, no matter how girls throw themselves at him, he wasn’t interested in any of them.
Unlike his father who kills at any mistakes a gang member did, he usually give them a second chance to amend their wrongs a chance Drake wasted two times.

Lora didn’t acknowledge any greetings sent in her way when she entered her private jet. It took off immediately going towards Casala.
When she got down from her jet, she entered the Suv jeep already waiting for her.
When she got home, she ignored her mother and father when they tried to get her attention and went straight to her room, pushing any servants that mistakenly stood her way.
She locked her room, went to her bed, took a pillow and place it on her mouth, she screamed into it for a while before she kept the unfortunate pillow.
“I thought you said I will have everything I could ever dream off.” Lora said to the empty room.
“Yes I did.” A voice was heard but the owner of the voice wasn’t seen.
“Then why can’t Paul love me?” Lora asked
“I don’t know, maybe the universe doesn’t want it.”
“I don’t bloody care, you have to do something about this, can’t you force him to love me? I want Paul by all means.” Lora said to the still empty room, she knew who was was talking too.
“We can’t force someone to love, it is impossible, besides, I thought you are already dating David or did he dumped you?”
“No he did not, I am still dating him, but I also want to date Paul, in fact I need him to love me. I went to his office to surprise him, I even took off my clothes but he wasn’t moved by what he saw.”
“You’re greedy Lora, you want to date two brothers? Why can’t you be contented with what you have, if you continue to trend on this part, I am afraid, you will fall in a deep hole.” The unknown voice told Lora who has began pacing around her room.
“I need Paul, in case you have forgotten, I made a huge sacrifice in exchange to get whatever I want, and now I am telling you. I need Paul, I am addicted to him. I don’t care how you do it, but let him love me. That is my wish.”
