TRISTEN'S POV:-
When Vincent's daughter. Wait what was her name
... Yeah...Jade. When Jade opened the door to her father's office, I saw her for the first time.
Confident, strong and....and beautiful. A true beauty. A beauty that men would go to war for.
An earth-shattering and breathtaking beauty. Her aura screamed confidence. Wait, am I sounding like a lovestruck teenager?? Ugh. Maybe yes or maybe not.
Whatever!!

Author: Honestly speaking, you did sound like a lovestruck teenager. Wait, don't tell that you have already fallen for Jade.
Tristen: What!! Hell no and it's none of your business so you stop meddling with my thoughts.
Author:Oh, yes it is my business!!

I am quite impressed with her because she saw her father and even after holding his hands for the last time, she did not shed a single tear. Her eyes were calm but I can tell that there is a turmoil of emotions inside her.
Oh, here comes her uncle. She goes with him and as expected he just dropped the bomb about her being a mafia boss and their family being the most powerful mafia.blah.blah.
Judging by the reactions on her face, she has not yet accepted the fact of her being a mafia let alone a mafia boss.
She went to her room and locked the door and for the first, I saw emotions swirling in those otherwise calm, mesmerising emerald-green eyes.
And finally, her calm and strong facade crumbled.
She fell to her knees, cupped her face and started sobbing.
People say that "Even the strongest of people do break." and I saw that today. Despite being strong, she broke. Honestly, I do feel bad seeing her cry but I can't do anything because Vincent deserved to die.
JADE'S POV: -
I woke up in the morning to the sound of the alarm clock, at 6 a.m. In the morning. I got down from the bed and walked into my bathroom. I brushed my teeth, freshened up and took a bath. I spent an hour in the bathroom and then went to my walk-in closet.
I took out a completely black dress from my closet and wore it. I went to my dressing table and tied my hair back in a loose bun. I don't feel like doing my makeup but I thought of highlighting my eyes, so I applied eyeliner and mascara.
There was a knock on the door and in walked a maid. She spoke, "Mam, everyone is waiting for you downstairs."
"I'll be there in a moment," said I.
With that, she left.
I looked at myself in the mirror and promised myself to be strong and not cry.
I stood at the top of the stairs and what I saw looked just like a scene out of a mafia novel. 4 Men in black, I mean men dressed in black were standing on the two sides below the stairs. As, soon as I got down the stairs and started walking towards the family dining room, they started walking behind me and opened the large golden doors to our dining table. I felt like I was a mafia boss from those typical mafia novels and am making a grand entrance.

Author: Jade, I guess you forgot that you are a mafia boss and that too in a mafia novel.
Jade: *sighs* Yeah thanks for reminding me.
Author: You're most welcome!! (;(;
}
And wait ugh. I forgot I am a mafia boss!!
I went to the dining table and everyone made way for me to sit at the head of the table, the seat that belonged to my father. After I sat down, I noticed that everyone sat down only after me. And they started eating only after I took the first bite of my food.
Ok, this is a bit too much, and a bit too weird.
