CHAPTER 1
"You're my boyfriend?" inquired the girl, who was still lying on the hospital bed and staring at him in surprise.
"Yes, he is," one of the three men inside the room replied. " Pretty handsome, isn't it?" the guy asked, making the girl nod in amazement, "I'm so lucky!"
Luther, on the other hand, shook his head and exited the room with a new problem on his mind.
The operation was supposed to be successful, but due to a single miscalculation, his plan failed.
He never expected the need to do something like this.
He gave the girl one last look before shaking his head and exiting the room.
"Are you sure about this?" one of his friends asked, "you know I don't have a choice, Lucas."
" Well, I think she doesn't know anything, so we could just let her go."
"No. The plan was ruined because of one miscalculation, and I will never allow another one to happen," he replied remembering how a single mistake changes his life...
-----
" Hah!" The young man gasped as he stood up, sweating profusely and clutching his chest to catch his breath. He shook his head as he went himself out of his soft bed and dashed down to the kitchen for some cold water.He swallowed it right away to wash away the bad dreams that kept visiting him every night.
He silently poured the rest of the pitcher over himself after his drink didn't work. Finally, after pouring it to himself, his spirit has awakened by the cold water that flowed through his body.
He took a deep breath and pushes himself to the wall, closing his eyes.
Still, gasping for breath. Luther eventually acted and dressed to enter the company to completely erase the bad dreams that keeps on visiting.
----
"He's here!" A woman's scream seemed to signal the other women to take care of themselves. Some even smeared colorful lipstick on their faces while others made sure their clothes were neat and polished. A few moments later, footsteps could be heard which made all the women inside the structure nervous.
Razor's sharp nose, fixed to a broad, sparsely emotionless face. Eyes with a grilling gaze, enough to freeze even the warmest of hearts at a glance. He stood tall, like the sarcastic monstrosity, Well, isn't it expected, if he is one of the youngest CEO in Forbes's top 10 wealthiest billionaires?
"Good morning, Sir!" This an attractive greeting from a woman whose short dress appears to be lacking in fabric. However, the young man did not even glance at it. He went straight to his office, followed by two other young men.
One of the young men smiled and apologized for his friend's actions. "My apologies, young lady. That's how it is when you wake up badly, but I'm glad to see a beautiful lady in the morning." With a kiss on the back of the woman's palm, her red cheeks flushed even more and she quickly responded with a sticky smile. Before finally entering the office, the young man winked. Women's screams can be heard from within.
"There goes the self-proclaimed Cassanova," Lucas shook his head at the newcomer. The young man laughed and sat down beside him. "Don't be jealous, babe; I'm still yours," he said.
Shaking his head, "stop it, Kheed. I already feel like vomiting" Lucas sneered at the young man who just laughed at his remarks. He glances at their silent companion. " got a problem, Luther?"
He simply shook his head and wrinkled his brow before grabbing the papers in front of him.
Lucas didn't say anything else, but his gaze was fixed on his friend, who appeared tired even at this early hour. He sighs, aware of his friend's hardships and sacrifices for the company.
"Are we going to the same event later?" Kheed inquired, his gaze fixed on the glass wall of Luther's office. "Yeah"
"We've been going to that damn plutocracy, and they've never shown up," Kheed added.
"You know that family is too elusive, so we can't do anything but wait to find time." Lucas joined the conversation.
Nothing more to say, Kheed didn't speak again until before the day was over, Luther received information from a trusted source. He hurriedly put on his favorite coat. "Let's go. Riven texted, and they're waiting for us."
"Are they coming?" Kheed inquired, but the young man ignored him and exited the office quickly. "Does your friend have deafness, bro? I'm still talking."
"You'll be deaf if you just stand there," Lucas replied, laughing.
"Nah, how the hell can I hear their praises?" He shook his head and complimented himself in the office window glass.
"you're taking a long time, bro. maybe instead of going deaf, you'll lose all five senses," Lucas remarked, shaking his head, before finally following the young man out.
"Do you know what jokes are?" Kheed shooks his head, " it's really hard when I am the only one who has humor in this friendship" he rolled his eyes but still obey as he stretched his arms, "Time to switch from handsome Kheed to dangerous Kheed."
The loud noise coming from the abandoned building which serves as the rendezvous of the infamous clan welcomed the three strikingly good-looking men in masks.
With a pair of midnight blue caps and masks, no one could recognize the young CEO of Cromwell Enterprises.
Luther Devmon Cromwell, the CEO of Cromwell Enterprise which was known for being the largest hotel company in the country. He is handsome, chic, and, most importantly, wealthy, all of which are characteristics of women's ideal men. But his attractive exterior conceals a dangerous persona.
In the day, he was just a normal CEO who seems busy building and expanding his business but when the sun goes down, he turned into a completely different person.
A feared Mafia boss, leader of a left-wing organization and illegal activities, and his two companions, Lucas and Kheed, are the only ones who know this secret. A secret that he has to keep hidden for a certain reason.
A luxurious but dangerous location where known mafias from across the country gather every year to join the X Organization. This is an organization made up of the country's ten richest mafia bosses, who can be replaced if there is a desire to fight against any of the ten clans.
Luther's company is large and powerful, with the potential to rise through the ranks of the X Organization. But the young man was unconcerned. He has a reason for joining the Mafia, and it has nothing to do with rank.
The impression of the knives and guns reverberating in the place gives calm to Luther. He undoubtedly loves fighting and getting feared of.
"Aye yo, midnight!" says a young man covered in tattoos and the leader of a gang that is an ally. "Riven," Luther calls the codename of the person in front of him while shaking his hand. " We've been waiting for you for a while, I'm sure you'll like it," It began walking and continued. "The Asano has arrived."
Luther cracked a smile when he heard the name of the group. He only attends these types of gatherings on a regular basis, relishing the opportunity to see one of the country's most feared mafia clans, the group mentioned by Riven.
Because of its left and right connections with the government and countless illegal businesses, Asano is one of the most feared mafia figures in the world. It took longer than the organization he built, but if it was solely based on talent and wealth, the two groups were on the same level.
" Oh and speaking of the devil, they're here," Riven said again looking behind.
A group of people wearing masks arrived. With the rose imprinted on their jacket and a rose-like mask, It was indeed the infamous group, Black Roses or better known by their last name. The Asano.
The gray-haired man with slanted eyes and a dragon tattoo gave off a spine-chilling aura that was none other than; Dragon, the presumptive boss of their organization.
With a sexy and beautiful girl beside him, Kheed can't help but roll their eyes. " there he goes again, flaunting his goddess-like girlfriend"
" If I have such a gorgeous lover, I would do the same thing" Riven commented also looking at the girl in masked following the boss of the Asano clan.
" Tss, just wait until we found our muse, boss can get a girl better than Vixen. " Kheed said referring to the codename of the girl. " much sexier and prettier."
" You wish, with his kind of personality? you bet " Lucas shook his head and look at their boss who seem to have been lost in thought while staring at the Asano clan.
" ah yeah, fvck. all I think about was his appearance, I forgot his rotten attitude" Kheed said making the two gentlemen beside him laugh.
"It would be a miracle if he gets one hahaha" Riven joined in on the laughter with two others while the subject of their conversation continued to stare at the clan with a scowl on his face.
