They stayed like that for minutes as if they're the only ones in the ward and surprisingly, Bluey isn't crying, instead she's smiling slowly,
"Please don't leave me again, it was so hard, waiting for you to wake up is the hardest thing I've ever done " she said
Angelo only blinked back the tears
He just watched joyously, too happy that Eden was back
"mummy"Eden spoke softly
"I missed you so much" she said
"I missed you too mummy " he replied
"You're still as handsome as I can remember" she said and he smiled
"You're still my pretty mum " he said and Angelo touched his hair fondly. No doubt, his son was naughty and he took that from him
He clenched his jaw as he was somehow proud
"I guessed I got pretty like my mummy" He smiled and that made Bluey blushed
"Shhhh, don't say that again, you took that from me. I'm handsome and pretty you know " Angelo said covering the little pace between them
" some one looks jealous "Bluey said and bite her lip to suppress her laughter
"That's a lie. My son took over me"Bluey said touching Eden's hair which made him blush
"C'mon mom... I took after you and dad"Eden said
"No just me"Angelo whispered in Bluey's ears. She shivered. She never he was that closed
" Your jerk ! " Bluey replied and turned only to get a kiss on her cheeks
"I love you my baby doll " he said
"dad!! "Eden said covering his eyes
"I love you both, very much"he smiled and sat on the bed
" I love you too father and you Mum" Eden said widening his arms. Bluey and Angelo rushed into it and they all hugged dearly

STILL AT NIGHT
AT THE BURIAL SITE*****
Granny could be seen sitting down beside the grave yard. She had a scarf on and it covered her face too
It will be hard for someone to recognize her. She breathed in deeply before dropping the flowers on it
"Good four years you passed on and alot had happened.... "She paused and wipe the tears that escaped her eyes
"Bandini " She called the name. The name that sound thunderous
The name that every human feared.
At the slightest mentioned of the name, it causes shivers
"I miss you insanely.... Yeah! I was still angry....its been four and I'm still mad at you." she wept. "I thought I'll be able to do it. I though I'll be able to move on. You never loved me Bandini but I kept pushing on with the marriage because of our kids. You broke the little love that existed among us when you cheated with another married woman. I don't know why you did that but it hurts.... It damn hurts"
She was crying profusely by now
"our family were separated.....it hurts most remembering how you separated Angelo from the person he loves more. I know he's weak and since Angelo is the strongest, you took him instead and trained him to be a mafia....The weak one, I don't even know if he's alive or not. It hurts so much to see you separate my son from his only.... "She hiccups and wiped off her tears with the scarf
"surprisingly, Angelo still loves you after the pains you made him passed through "Granny bite on her lip
"If only you never left to meet your mistress that night, if only you weren't stubborn...if only you had listened to me, maybe you wouldn't have get into the web of the enemies"She muttered
"Up till this very day, I still love you. Even when you separated me from him, I still loved you. I never wanted to come but I couldn't help it. My heart still beats for you Bandini. I love you. I love you. I love"She cried harder
"it's hard to move on..... very hard to admit you're truly gone. I love you and I wish you never died. I love you. I know you can hear me.... I love you Bandini. Wake up for me baby.....please "She cried harder

THE MAFIA CLAN
Landon looked down from where he was watching the girls trained aggressively with their sword
He seems to be watching them but his mind was far from them. He was disturbed....his mind was not at peace
"I miss her"He muttered and smiled as he remembered his sister
"I know she's gonna hate me forever. Which sister is gonna love her brother for running away and leaving her in the hands of his cruel father"He said to himself
"She's gonna hate you badly "His conscience mind said
"I know right?... "He asked back. "What if father has killed her? "he thought
"Then I'm gonna hate myself more"He muttered
"you're engrossed. What are you thinking "Jenna said, hanging her hand on Landon's neck
"you shouldn't do that"Landon cautioned and removed her arms from his neck
Jenna only scoffed
"why are you here. You should be downstairs, training " He said
"My tutor is not as best as you. I sneaked out so I could find you. Luckily, I found you here. So tell me what were you thinking "Jenna asked
"None of your busy. Go back to training " He said icily
"lemme think " she replied and touched her cheeks with the tip of her finger
"since you won't train me, I'm going back to my room"She said
" I'm gonna kill you if you do that ?" Landon said seriously
"who cares"She muttered and turned her back at him
"she's fucking not doing this"He muttered as he stared at her back view
His eyes popped out of its socket as it swagged with every steps she took
"fuck!! "Landon uttered. He never knew how it happened but it wasn't his will. He found his legs moving towards her on their own
Soonest, he got to her. He held her arm and pulled her to face him
"you fucking not doing that "He said staring at her eyes
"why? "She asked rather
"Uhmm... " He stuttered. God! He was trying so hard not to
He bite on his lower lip. He pulled her to himself making their bodies rubbed against each other
"Because you can't....Gosh! Can't believe you're damn stubborn " He said and without thinking twice, he slammed his lip hard on her
Jenna gasped as he took her unaware. It took a while before she reciprocated
****
"where could she be!"Cara thought as she walked beside the road
Yeah! It's was dark but she was determined to find Mia. Her safety isn't guaranteed if she doesn't find Mai and bring her back home
Her husband is gonna beat her to death. Tears escaped her eyes. Yeah! She was the one who created the monster in her husband.
If only she didn't cheat on her husband. If only she didn't get pregnant for another man
Not once but twice....A whole twice.
"Mai where could you be? "She asked no one in particular . "What if she's gone for good like her brother"She thought and shook her head.
"it can't be.... She loves me. She wouldn't run away. My baby loves me"She cried silently. Of course she was more than scared
This was the first time Mai has ran away and couldn't be found.
Not even a trace of where she could be. She was so engrossed in her thoughts when her shoulders brushed with Granny who was heading back to the bush
"watch it"She retorted
Granny walked away without saying a word "Weird "Cara thought and continued with her search

AN ABANDONED CONVENT *****
"Kill me already. You separated me from my family already and that's worst than hell. Kill me, I beg of you "He pleaded
Boniface smirked before holding his bloody face. He held it painfully and slammed it into the wall
"You think am gonna kill you easily huh? "He said and hit his face on the wall again. Blood spewed out like water and he smirked evily
"of course not.... I'm not that stupid. Yes I'm gonna end the Bandini family one by one. I'm gonna make sure I their lineage. Am gonna kill them all the same way my mother and father was killed brutally but aren't doing that now until I get my wealth and my woman"Boniface said
He only burst into an uncontrollable laughter
"And you think you can end his image. Even if you kill him, his linage will still continue. You can't kill him and you never will" He muttered. Boniface furrowed his brows
"what the heck does these words mean"He asked
"what are you not telling me? "Boniface asked but he refused to speak again
Boniface stared at him for a while and furrowed his brows
"Angelo....he... he got a son?"He stuttered unknowingly ,
He let go of his cheek and moved away from him. In a flash, his memory ran back to four years ago
Yeah! She was heavily pregnant that faithful day. At the battle ground she couldn't run fast cause she was pregnant
She was pregnant for him. She had shot him on his chest and that was when he passed away
He couldn't remember all that happened again. He didn't know if Angelo came back to her as promised. He didn't know what happened after he passed away
What happened to the child?
Did she give birth or it die?
He needs to call his brother. He was in the rightful place to tell him what happened after he passed away
His roughed his hair.... Nothing was making sense to him.
"He do have a son. I'm sure of it "He muttered picking his phone, so he could place a call across his brother

THE NEXT MORNING
AT THE HOSPITAL
"Father is such a jerk!! "Eden screamed out as he jumped on the hospital bed
"don't do that Eden, you have drip on"Bluey cautioned
"Sorry mummy "He replied and sat down
"What did you do to him?. If I had instructed him to do, he wouldn't have "Angelo muttered. Bluey stuck his tongue at him, making Eden giggled
"I'm gonna get you both!! "Angelo yelled
"oh no! "Eden shouted and jumped on Bluey
"let's run mummy "He shouted
"Hold tight!. Your daddy mustn't get to us"She yelled and started running round the room bed with Bluey on her back
Angelo chased them and that made Eden giggled
"Go mummy..... Go mummy!! "He screamed loudly, flying his hand on the air
Unfortunately there wasn't fast. Angelo caught them
"got you both "He muttered. He placed his two hands on the wall as he caged them inbetween
"that's so unfair "Eden fake a cry
He suddenly grabbed her waist and pulled her close
"Daddy caught us" she replied, touching her right cheek gently
"what will I do with you two? "Angelo asked. Of course, they were both handful
He took her hand and kissed the back of it
"I love you both" he said flatly. Eden jumped down
"dad.. Mine"He closed his eyes pointing at his forehead
"silly you"Angelo muttered. He bent down and kissed his forehead
"I got some chocolate..... But you both have to catch me before having any of these"Angelo said raising some chocolates up
"You!! "Bluey screamed and they both started chasing him
The door opened and a nurse walked. The noise drew her attention and she got to remind them it's an hospital
"what!!! "Angelo, Bluey and Eden shouted at once

SOME HOURS LATER
Mrs Beatrice Walton brought her car to an halt in front of the hospital and inhaled hard
It took lots of conviction from her husband before she obliged to see a doctor
"she sleeps late, always cries,don't eat at all and gets thinner by the day
She breath in and out more than ten times before coming out of the car
She walked into the hospital gorgeously with some of her guards...
Bluey rushed in.... She had gone to the bush some hours ago to get a shower
It took so much persuasion from Angelo before she could leave Eden side. It's just some hours but it felt like years
No doubt, she wouldn't want to be away from her son anymore. She rushed into the hospital and unconsciously bumped into Mrs Beatrice Walton who was coming in through the other side
They both fell down. "ouch"Mrs Beatrice muttered as her guards rushed to her
"I'm so sorry... I.... "
Her heart skipped beats when she raised her face and saw the eyes
"Huh" Mrs Beatrice said, shifting uncomfortably on her spot
