Cassandra, The Mafia's Bride

Carlos: (holding his brother back with all the strength he has) Bro, take it easy, don't do what you will regret later, he's still our dad. I agree he made a terrible mistake but there's always a second chance (knowing fully well that what their dad did was too huge and there was hardly any second chance, but he just said all of that to calm his brother who was ready to murder their dad at that instant. If the eyes were weapon, their dad would have been dead by now.) and he can make it up to us, please bro calm down. Don't be like him, now is not the time to throw tantrum. We need a solution to the current situation at hand, not violence. Think bro! Use your head and not your emotions.

Andrew: (Reasoned with his brother and tried to calm down, but he swore never to forgive his father even till death. He looked at his dad for a while before speaking) So dad you can't tell us what you used the money to achieve right? Hmm, that alone tells us how irresponsible and careless you are, I don't blame you, I blame your inability to control your greed and unnecessary want for insatiable goods that you don't need. And I promise you, if mom doesn't come back to us the way she used to be, I'll make sure you pay for all you have to us with every pint of your blood. (Then he stormed out of the house to get fresh air. Carlos and his other sisters left their dad to himself, Aldo has been shedding tears all this while, he finally felt as an irresponsible father to his children especially Cassandra and a failed husband to his faithful wife. He knew that there was no remedy to the mess he had put himself in)

Aldo: (talking to himself) I thought I could carry my cross alone but I was selfish, and now everyone is suffering from my actions. Oh man! What have I done? I must solve this crisis and bring my family back to how it was.

Meanwhile at the mansion, Cassandra was walking along the stairs leading to the sitting room when she heard a group of three bodyguards gossiping about Davis, she hid around a corner and was eavesdropping on them.

Guard 1: (Whispering) Our lord got rid of one of his opponent recently, he caught him and took him to his secret hideout, men! He really tortured the guy so much that he wished he was dead.

Guard 2: (Also whispering)Everyone is aware of that, but what happened exactly?

Guard 3: I heard he wanted to play smart on our boss, they both signed a contract to get rid of a wealthy billionaire business man who has been the major reason for their business slow down. But the guy became friends with the billionaire. He even collaborated with the man, they became friends and his business began to progress. At a point he almost exposed our boss, but as you may have it, our boss being a smart guy quickly shut him up.

Guard 2: That was necessary, everyone knows how scary selling and dealing on drugs can be atimes. If you aren't watchful in this state you could easily be exposed and the penalty was death. 

They were still gossiping when a maid ran up to them and told them that the boss was back. They quickly dispersed to their various post, she also ran up to her room. That's to tell you how he was feared even among his household. When he entered the mansion, he came with another offender, this time a long lost friend who he had a grudge against.

His most trusted bodyguard Lewis took the man to the secret hideout underneath his room, there he was chained to a torture block. The hideout had weapons and torture instruments all over the walls, enough to cause fear in the victims heart. He was merciless with his captives, he didn't even bother to have dinner, he just quickly went to the hideout.

On reaching there, his men quickly helped him with his suit, he sat down on a chair made up of hard iron. Then he smirked at the prisoner and gestured for one of his men to uncover the guy's face. When his face was uncovered, a very bright light hit his eyes immediately he opened them. He was shocked to see Davis, his childhood friend.
