It was around ten o'clock in the night and Weylin was still on his computer, attending a business meeting virtually. Since he was in England, he sent his subordinates to the meetings while he was connected virtually to the meeting. He attended three business meetings since the morning and it was his last one. Though he was completely spent, he had no choice other than to put on a professional business smile on his lips and continue his work.
"Damn! Finally, it's done." Weylin leaned against the backrest of the chair, feeling the soft cushion against his back. Massaging his temples, he threw his head back. "What time is it?" He looked at his wristwatch only to find it was half-past ten. "Why isn't Mrs Turner home yet?" His brows furrowed forming a frown.
He immediately phoned his wife only to realize that her
"Do we really have to do this?" Jace asked, putting on a so done facial expression.Jace's hands were clasped with Weylin's while there was a minimum distance between them. Both of them being efficient dancers, they moved flawlessly."Yes," Weylin replied, sliding his hand to Jace's waist, following the dance position."What the heck, bro? It's so uncomfortable." Jace cringed, lips slipping down with discomfort. "Why am I performing the role of a lady?""Because I am the man here," Weylin replied confidently."Do I look like a woman t
Finally, the day had come when Weylin and Garaine would be introduced as a married couple to the underworld. Since their marriage didn't happen in the best situation, and the bride was swapped, many guests had left the wedding hall like a bear with a sore head. Only a few trusted members stayed behind. Blake Turner wanted his daughter-in-law to debut in the underworld as the wife of Weylin Turner so that no one could dare to look down upon her. Garaine was seated on a soft cushioned chair in front of a dressing table. The makeup artist applied a few strokes of the fluffy brush on the apples of her cheeks, applying a pink blush to them. Swiping the base of the fan brush on her high cheekbones, the makeup artist highlighted them. "Your facial makeup is done, ma'am," the makeup artist said. "Please have a look at the mirror."The lady smiled a bit before lifting her head to check herself in the mirror. Her eyes narrowed as her lips stretched into a wide smile. "It's beautiful!" Garain
"F-father?" Garaine uttered, gawking at him with utter disbelief. The person, who seemed to hate her the most, spoke for her. A lone tear escaped her eye, rolling down her rosy cheeks before disappearing into her clothes. She had been hardly holding herself together since she trained herself not to break down easily in front of others. But hearing those words from someone, whom she had never expected to support her, took her by surprise. Her lips trembled when she heard the word 'father' from his lips. Never in her life did she think she would be accepted by Blake Turner. And now he had proclaimed himself as her father. She was brought back to reality when she saw her father-in-law walking toward her. She flinched when she saw him smiling at her softly before gently extending his hand like a gentleman. "May I have the honour to have a dance, Ms Garaine Turner?" "Mr T-turne-""You should address me as father," Blake said in an assuring tone while his facial expressions softened. "
Holding the stem of the glass delicately, Garaine Turner sipped on her freshly prepared Cinderella, a mocktail. Her thoughts drifted to her husband. She wondered what kind of task he encountered that made him disappear without a word. Her eyebrows were drawn together when a small voice whispered from the corner of her heart telling her that he must have ditched her because of the contractual marriage. Is it true? Garaine wondered, taking another sip which tasted almost tasteless to her who was deeply lost in her thoughts. A conflict started within herself, contradicting her thoughts. Her angel side was supporting the mafia leader while her devil side was continuously poking her angel side, trying to tell that Weylin left her because there were no mutual feelings between them. Garaine bit her inner cheek, questioning her decision. Judging from his behavior over the past few days, everything was going well between them and it seemed that they were on good terms. But this incident put
Garaine's eyes quickly read the room as she stepped forward. Standing in the room since the incident, she realized one thing- the weaker she is, the greater the chance of her being preyed on by merciless lords of the underworld. Being the madame of the Turner household, she couldn't just stand there and watch the dignity of the Turners falling apart. Taking in a deep breath, she smiled, looking as welcoming as ever. "Esteemed guests, you think that I pushed her 'on purpose' and it's my fault that she fell, isn't it?" Mrs. Turner said with an unwavering voice, maintaining eye contact with almost all of the guests. Her gaze appeared sharp and confident enough to leave the high-profile guests to think twice before speaking. Upon receiving no response, she again spoke. "I am waiting for your response.""It seemed so," a woman in a glam gown spoke. "Alright!" Garaine snickered. "Since you all are implying that it's my fault, I am accepting my fault." The moment her words were completed,
A surprised Blake turned towards Garaine only to see her sniffling. "My child? Are you crying?" Blake's eyes widened and he immediately stepped on the brakes. "What's wrong?""Father…" She broke down, burying his face in her palms. "I don't wanna go to that house. It's not meant for me. I didn't want to be a part of the underworld. Why did he marry me and leave me in such a tough situation? I just wanted a simple life but he married me and now I ended up in such a situation of fight or die. I want a break. I wanna go to my best friend's house.""Alright alright…But please stop crying." Blake bit his inner cheek, unable to understand what he should do to stop her from crying. "I want to go to Lucia's house," Garaine kept crying. "Please take me there. I don't wanna go to the main house. Please…""Alright, dear," Blake agreed, finding no other option. "Enter your friend's address on the GPS. I'll take you there. Alright?""Mhm." Garaine sniffled, wiping her tears like a kid. "I am so
Ring ring…ring ring…tut."Fuckin hell!" Weylin Turner growled, almost throwing the phone away. "Hey! Don't break my phone like you did with yours," Mirela Davies, Weylin's old acquaintance, the leader of the gang The Red Hearts, and one of the most powerful mafia leaders of the USA, spoke as she took her phone away from his hand. "I didn't break my phone on purpose. I couldn't control my rage and…" Weylin sighed, looking out of the window. "Tch. You and your temper," she rolled her eyes. Tucking her locks behind her ear, she glanced at him. "3rd time?" "5th." Weylin massaged his glabella, looking exhausted."5th?!" Mirela's eyes widened as she leaned forward out of reflex. "You have been calling your wife for the 5th time?!" "Yeah." The mafia leader mumbled, without caring to take a glance at the lady. Closing his eyes, he continued massaging his glabella. After the long meeting with the other mafia leaders, he just wanted to return home and take a nap. "You're down on your luck
Around seven cars were moving on the hushed road. The speeding cars and their roars reverberated in the pin-drop silence environment. One of the men from cars that were following Weylin Turner put his head out of the window. He pointed his gun, aiming at the tires of Weylin's car to shoot and puncture them. Narrowing his eyes, the man pulled the trigger and the bullet escaped from his gun. But Weylin's driver, being one the best drivers of the mafia world, flawlessly escaped from the aim. "They are quite skilled," Weylin Turner muttered as he tightened the grip on his gun. He kept eyeing the speeding cars that were trying to get close to his car. As the cars were about to get close, Mr. Green kept speeding, escaping swiftly. Soon they reached an area that was far away from the residential area. Now things will get a bit easier. Weylin smirked as everything was going according to his plan. Soon they reached a road that had a lot of smaller roads joining it. "We should get Weyl
