If someone told Avery that in the following months she will be a maid in a Mafia house, she would have laughed and said how crazy this idea was. Now she can't believe how her life has changed. Returning home was a quiet journey. Vincent didn't talk and she didn't want to look or talk to him again after the stunt he pulled. She had to take hold of herself and rethink her plan of escaping.
It was too risky. She couldn't continue living with Vincent. This man was taking up her mind and body. Vincent, on the other hand, saw another version of her character. He thought that she'll never challenge him but here she was, talking back at him. He couldn't deal with her. He had another matter to attend to first and until he dealt with it he had to let her be. He didn't send his right hand and best friend on a mission for him to pass his time with this girl. He had a purpose to fulfill that he promised his father when he was dying.
8 years ago
A 16-year-old Vincent entered home followed by his 3 bodyguards. Wherever he went, he had to take his bodyguards with him. And he didn't like it one bit. Especially when he wanted time alone with his new girlfriend Layla, that he liked so much. He didn't feel comfortable doing anything with her knowing his guards were looking. Sighing, Vincent entered home and looked for his mother. Being in the Mafia wasn't easy, and enemies were lurking everywhere. Even though he had a low profile and nobody outside their home knew that he was Mr. Luciano's son, still they have to take precautions.
''Mom?'' The stuff leave after lunch and school ended late today. So the only people in the house should be the guards and his family. He had a little sister who was 4 years old and don't go to school. She was the joy of the house. She has beautiful crystal blue eyes and a small button nose that complimented her face. Vincent knew that when she will grow older she will have many pursuers and he will have to scare them all away. It was his job as an older brother.
''Dad?'' Vincent was starting to get worried. He didn't saw any guards outside and frown upon it. His guards immediately understand that something was wrong and took a protective stun in front of him.
''Search the floor'' Said one guard to another to secure the safety of the young heir.
''All clear'' They relaxed and Vincent started running through the house looking for his parents and little sister. He searched the ground floor but he found nothing. His guards were shouting to stop but he wouldn't listen.
''Mom?Dad?LiLy?'' He went to his parent's bedroom. The door was ajar and he took reluctant steps inside. What he saw imprinted in his mind. His mother was dead in the bed with her eyes wide open.
''M-om'' He approached her with teary eyes and full of shock. He couldn't believe it. His guards followed inside and took the scene. That was code red. One guard took his phone out and called for backup. The other guard approached the young master and urged him to leave the room.
''You shouldn't be here young Master. Let's leave.'' It was only a 16 year-old-boy who didn't need to see such a murder scene. A cough was heard and Vincent looked at the other side of the bed on the floor. His father was laying there in blood. He still had life inside of him and Vincent run to him. The guards panicky called the paramedics and the family doctor for help. Vincent ran to his father and grab his hand on his own.
''Dad! Mom is..'' He was crying so much. His mother was the kindest woman ever. He couldn't believe he will never see her smile or talk to him again, even scold him for not tidying up his room.
''Vincent.'' His father said sternly. He knew that the hole was near his heart and will take a miracle to save him. Vincent stop crying and looked at him while little sniffs could be heard.
''You are a big man now. You need to take care of your sister.'' His father took a big breath, he couldn't talk longer. Vincent started crying again. He wanted his mother.
''Don't be a crybaby. Be a man. You have a responsibility now.'' Vincent couldn't think clearly. Who would? He just saw that his mother is dead and his father might die.
''Don't talk Dad, Doctor Nickolae is coming.'' He sniffed and rubbed the tears off his eyes.
''My little boy. Your mother and I are sorry for deserting you'' His father couldn't breathe clearly anymore. He was gasping for air and Vincent didn't know what to do.
''Dad? Dad! DAD!''He was shouting at him but his father couldn't listen. Vincent swore right there that he will find who did this. Who took his parents away from him and his little sister.
From that point, Vincent began training and took over the Mafia. He was the next heir after all. Through his actions, people began to fear him and respect him. He was a good leader and his primary goal was to find the people who killed his parents whatever it cost him. And eventually, he did. It took him 7 years of pain and searching to finally find them.
Present time
''Get out'' Avery didn't need to be told twice. She gets out of the car and went straight to the mansion. She had many chores to do and a plan to execute. Everything will go down tonight. Meanwhile, Vincent stayed in the car thinking. He had to approach her differently if he wanted to learn about her secret. Especially now with his plan in motion. He couldn't risk anything. And he had made up his mind since he was looking for a queen he might as well find her.
