Bianca hurled at a corner, crying out her eyes, she was betrayed by the only man she ever loved. A dark cloud of sorrow hovers over her as salty tears pour from her stinging eyes.
After some moments of regret and anxiety, Bianca decided to break out of her room. Celine walked to her, she was expecting her arrival after knocking for hours.
“Am I your mother?” Bianca questioned, looking straight into her eyes.
“Why would I lie about that? I'm won't deceive you, mother. I would get you a doctor as soon as possible, you need to recover soon.” Celine maintained eye contact with her.
“Thanks…thanks for showing me Henry's true colors. ” Bianca's lips quiver. Celine grabs her soft hand, leading her to a seat. “This would be the first time I'm expressing my feeling, Mum. I love you so much. Please don't hurt yourself.”
Bianca opens her arms, pulling Celine into a hug. Celine smiles with her eyes and nose crinkled as a tear of joy fell on her chin. Celine disengaged from the hug when she heard Bianca's stomach growl.
“You must be starving. I would get you something for breakfast.” Celine grinned, Bianca sat on the cushioned chair with a delighted smile plastered on her face. Bianca's heart was shattered but she still had that smile. Celine rushed to the kitchen, she paused on getting so close to the microwave.
A shadow of guilt overshadowed her. She was a bit remorseful “I didn't mean to hurt her?” she shrugs her brows. The guilty feeling lasted for a few minutes.
“I did the right thing, didn't I? I hope mum forgives me.” Celine mumbled.

Henry was driving home when he got a text message from the men in the black current location. He heaves “I wish to separate all ties I have with them but I end up being with them again.” Henry mumbled, he tossed his phone to the back seat. He turns, driving to the location sent to him.
“I fucked badly…I fucked up!”
“What was with me? What did I do to poor Bianca? Well, the great news is that her daughter is dead.” Henry chuckles.
The car halts, and he majestically alights. The first person his eyes met was Lucas whose veins were throbbing through his neck, he grimaces at Henry with anger.
He walked with speed and he moved so close to Henry. Henry tilts his head, squinting his stare.
“How dare you? How dare you ruin our plans just for your selfish gains?” Lucas pants, gnashing his teeth.
“Pardon?” Henry was left in the dark, other men grins at him with rage.
“You ruined a great deal for me and you are here acting up. Shouldn't you be on your knees begging for forgiveness?” Lucas thundered.
Henry clenches his fist, piercing his nails into his palm. “Are you out of your senses? I'm your under-boss, Capos. Where did your respect go?” Henry bellowed.
Lucas spat. His heart was filled with anger and jealousy.
“Underboss, my foot! You are nothing compared to our mighty soldiers who talk less of being an underboss.”
“You must be insane. Get out of my way!” Henry ordered.
“What if I don't, will you hurt your men after making a terrible mistake?” Lucas confronted. Henry gave an alarming smile, he slides out his gun and shot Lucas in a twinkle of an eye.
Lucas groans in pain, he fell to the ground, holding his injured leg. The bullet pierced into his left leg, blood gushes out. Other Capos were unconcerned about his injury because they are used to getting shot.
Henry walked away.
“I never make mistakes.”
“Really? Well, you should know I had Bianca in my captivity for over twenty years.” Lucas chuckles. Henry paused his lips “You rascal, you made her lose her memories?” Henry ran towards him, he grabs Lucas's neck almost strangling him...
“So what would you do about that?huh?” Lucas managed to let out.
Henry gnashed his teeth, he balled his fist raising it to punch him in the face.
A clap made him pause. Oscar walked out of the building with two soldiers at his side.
“Enough! That's enough drama for today. Henry, come in.” Oscar ordered.
Henry pushes Lucas off making him hit his back against the floor. Lucas chuckles, he was in pain that he couldn't cry and is unable to stand on his own, some Capos helped him up and takes him away “You haven't seen the last of me yet, Underboss!”
“Uh, can't wait to beat you over and over” Henry confronted. Oscar smirks, and they walked into their meeting room.
“What was that? You should be ashamed of fighting on the streets with a capo” Oscar said.
“Whatever!” Henry looks into Oscar's eyes.
“Don't you dare look into my eyes? Look down!” Oscar ordered. Henry stares at him.
“Why did you call me over?” Henry started.
“Where Bianca?” Oscar responded with a question.
Henry wasn't amazed, he should have expected that.
“Oh, that was what the parade was about? Well, she's safe with me.”
“Really? Then, I give you two hours to offer her and her daughter peacefully.” Oscar demanded.
“Do you want to find her daughter's corpse? You are so gullible, that capo wants to steal from you. It's so obvious.” Henry confessed.
“What do you mean by her corpse? Is she dead?”
“Yes, their long-time maid confessed that Bianca's daughter died a very long time”
Oscar had a flushed face “That little capo! He dares play games with the boss.” Oscar slams the wall with his fist shaking.
His nostrils flared out smoke. “I will get rid of him when I have the chance to.”
“Oscar, keep it in mind that I can never offer Bianca. I can still offer her child since it's David's offspring.”
“Make some research about Bianca's daughter's demise. After this mission, I would let you go.”
“Just like you said last time. I'm only interested in this mission because it involves Bianca's well-being.”
“Read my lips, if anything…..anything happens to Bianca, blood will be shed”
Oscar chuckles “You seem to care more about your mistress than your wife.”
“Bianca is mine only!” Henry ordered with so much authority. He walked out of the cabin sneering at the soldiers.
Oscar raised his hand signaling to his soldier.
“Keep your eyes on him, whenever you see him with Bianca, get rid of them both!” Oscar ordered, he smirks sipping from the glass of wine. The soldier bows and he sneaks after Henry.
“I need to go make things up with Bianca now that I successfully settled the issue with those rascals,” Henry said to himself, he hops in his car and drove away.
