SICILY~ITALY . ^SHOOTING RANGE^ The incessant shooting sounds could be heard, so as some birds chirping around the sky, flying helter skelter as bullet ran through them, killing some, missing some. On the field, stood a tall, hefty man, his masculine tattooed arms stood out from the armless he puts on, he held a M16 riffle, which he was using to gun down the birds. From the strong aura emitting from him, you could have known he's not just an ordinary figure. Of course he's not. He's FLAVIO CASTILLO, the rumoured gentlest devil you could ever come across. Shocked right? How can a devil be gentle? You'll probably be thinking. Yeah a devil can be gentle as long as you don't step on his wrong foot. Do that, then you'll know why he's called a DEVIL. He's the Don of the DARK SOULS. The most feared in the clan. As he continues in his shooting, a tall lanky man about his height walk over to him, holding a phone. On his neck, lies a spider drawing.  A person who do not look well, would have slapped his neck to kill it not knowing it's just a tattoo. He goes by Whiskey, he's the underboss to the clan and also the closest to Don Flavio. The mob sees him as the fool who only cleans up after Flavio, but those close to him only know just how dangerous he could be. "Don, Asshat is on the line" He reported on getting to Flavio. Don Flavio stopped shooting and Whiskey place the phone on his ear. "Speak" His flinty, but hoarse voice says. "The target's daughter is coming home from the Philippines by tomorrow. It's confirmed" A thick feminine voice reported from the other end of the line.  "Got it" Don Flavio replied and Whiskey withdraw the phone from his ear ending the call. "Be prepared, the blood day has finally been set" Don Flavio says, cocking the M16 riffle. "Yes Don" Whiskey bowed and Don Flavio resumed to his shooting, this time more fierce than before, shooting down the birds with no mercy, the corner of his lips curling up in a sinister smile. ^NEXT DAY^ AIRPORT. A pair of slender legs in red boots makes her way among the crowd of people walking about in the airport with her luggage. It was an average height lady, dressed in a mini floral gown, dark shades cascading her eyes, her lips painted in dark red. You could mistake her a model, at how mesmerizing she looks. She then stops, dipping her hand into her hand bag, bringing out her phone. A pretty smile spread on her lips as she dials a number, Just at the second ring, the call got connected and a masculine deep voice echoes out to her hearing. "Hello baby doll" Her smile grew wider as she hears his voice, the voice that makes her heart go haywire everytime she hears it. "I'm at the airport, come pick me up" She said trying to compose her excitement, there was silence for some moments and she was forced to furrow her brows. "Hello Max are you sti_" "Give me some minutes, I'll be there" The voice said cutly and ends the call. "I...wait hel_" She withdraw the phone from her ear to see it already disconnected. "What the heck...he hanged up already" She frowns slightly, then sighs her mind going back to what her best friend told her back when she was still in the Philippines. "I think you're rushing too much into things Kez, you should have a rethink, you just finished your college not quite long, you are talented and industrious, this is a time for you to focus on your work and establish yourself, not for you to chase some guy around" Anya, her Filipino friend said to keziah who was busy arranging her clothes in the suitcase. "Listen Anya, this is me establishing myself. Whatever business I wanna do I can always start over there in Italy... with my husband" She said with an eye roll, finding Anya's words a little annoying. "Your husband? You haven't even met in face to face, you've only seen him in pictures and video calls?" "There's no much different" "Seriously??" Anya threw her arms in the air, standing from the bed she's sitting. "Nothing I say is gonna change your mind, innit? There! You're determined and decided already! But don't say I didn't warn you Kez, your love isn't going the right way at all. You don't just submit yourself to a man you don't know a damn about! Believe me bestie, you're ruining yourself for the wrong person. I clearly warned you!" Anya stated, walking out of the room. "No matter what you say I'll protect my love and you'll be my bridesmaid for the wedding!!!" Keziah yelled after her as she left. "Ugh!!" She heaves out a deep sigh, slumping on the bed. Truly as Anya has stated, she has never meet this fiance of hers face to face. She could still remember the very day her father suddenly ring her up telling her of her fiance she never knew she was betrothed to. Like any other sane ladies she would have totally disagreed of this but on seeing a mere picture of him, she fell. Like she totally fell and she finds no reason for not accepting him as her future husband. Throughout the months they've been together, they've only talk on calls and video calls, Maximo has never once come to visit her with the excuse of how busy he is managing his company. To her knowledge, he owns a construction company. A pretty good job she approves of. He's just the perfect guy she'll ever want to her, she just doesn't get why Anya never like the idea of him. Not even for a moment. "We've been dating for nine months already... that's long enough to birth a child...how dare she says I don't know a damn about him? Nobody can know my Maximo like I do...nobody" She mumbles to herself. FLASHBACK ENDS... "I'm gonna get married, and start afresh. I'm never gonna regret my decision...never" She let out a deep breath then proceeded walking out of the airport.

^TOMASO'S MANSION^ "That was your daughter, she's apparently at the airport" Maximo said dropping his phone on the glass table separating him and Mr Marco Tomaso, who's apparently Keziah's father. "That brat..." Mr Marco drops the cigarette he's currently smoking in a plate on the glass table in front of him. "She eventually defiled me. I told her to stay put in Philippines..." He grits slightly. "That stubborn brat..." "Well you can't keep her hidden there forever, she eventually will come home one day" Maximo said, crossing his leg on the other, his back reclining on the chair.  "Wouldn't she?" "Well that would be after i caught that kiddo. We don't know where he is or what is doing currently. Maximo, we both know Keziah is my only weakness, I'll be doomed if he finds out about her. These years I've tried so hard to protect her even if it means staying apart, I can't let all my efforts go to waste now" He said, a little worried and anxious. "Well that's your headache to deal with Mr Marco. There's no use saying all this to me. If you really love her, you f**king protect her well, as her father you are" Maximo pointed at him. "Then, since things has come to this why don't you get married, I'll be assured she'll be safe as long as she's within your clutches" Mr Marco suggested. "Pushing your liability unto me uh?" Maximo craves a brow. "She's my daughter not a liability and also as per the deal you have to_" "Sure sure. You can hold it right there. I haven't forgotten the fact that you sold your daughter for some riches, and I have to bear the consequences for that shit" Maximo click his tongue. Mr Marco gritted, remembering the deal he made years ago with late Maximo''s Father. Lucio Montez. The powerful head of a massive Syndicate known as the DRAGONS which deals with different illegal trades. Twenty years back, he was sent as a spy to steal a powerful treasure from a wealthy family. THE CASTILLO'S. Due to how tight the securities were and not knowing where exactly the treasure is hidden, he had to work for over five years for the CASTILLO'S to gain their trust. When he eventually did, he fortunately found the location of the hidden treasure and per his mission, he stole it killing the family brutally along so as not to be traced. But then, he had spared the little boy from the family without giving it much thought. Maybe as per the excitement he was feeling then, he had stupidly made the decision. For his mission, he was rewarded some riches as Maximo has stated, but that wasn't enough for him, so to acquire more wealth and power he voluntarily gave his daughter to the only son of the Montez to gain their trust. As long as his daughter is married to him, then his wealth and power shall never drain but maximize. He established an Electronic company as a camouflage but do some dirty works no one will ever imagined underneath.   Now as years goes by, he starts to regret his decision of sparing the young boy then and tries every possible way to find him so he can eradicate him totally but fails to locate his whereabouts up till date, giving him sleepless night with endless worries. "I didn't sell my daughter. It was a deal and a promise between your late father and I" Mr Marco grits, getting a little annoyed by Maximo's choice of words. Maximo bobbled his head. "I get your point. Don't worry, your daughter is cute. She'll definitely do well with me" He said and stood up, dusting himself. "I better go get her now, before she gets whiffs away by some revengeful kiddo you stupidly failed to kill years ago on a mission you were set to do" Maximo jeered, with a taunting grin. "But I have a mission to catch in less than two hours so I probably won't able to save your little lifeline, what should we do, Mr Marco Tomaso?" He wiggle a brow. Mr Marco stood also, ignoring his annoying remarks. "I'll send a reliable man of mine to pick her up then, you can go do your thing, time is gold I'll won't take it away from you" Mr Marco replied, tucking his hands in his pockets. "Great idea Mr Marco and i think I can still spare some minutes to see my baby doll. She called me herself to pick her up she'll be so disappointed if i don't show up and that will make me a jerk to her. What if she decides to cut off the marriage... you'll be so sad and I don't want that" He pouted jeerfully. Mr Marco didn't bother answering, he only bring out his phone and dial a number. "Take Mr Maximo to the airport and bring back my daughter. Safe and sound" He said to the person he called then ends the call, facing Maximo. "Why don't you get going now, like I said earlier...time is gold and it's tickling by" He smiles at him. "Sure, wait for your reward for the tip when I come back, my amiable informant" Maximo pats his shoulder with a smile before walking out of the study they're currently in. Mr Marco sighs out with his face hardening. "That son of a goose..." He remarks hatefully. "If not for your father and the power you hold and that you're the only one to secure the safety of my daughter, I would have dealt with you a long time pass..." His fists balled, with his nose flaring. "Just wait till I get rid of that f*cker. You'll be the next!"

OUTSIDE THE TOMASO'S MANSON Just as Maximo walks majestically out of the mansion, his driver who had been waiting for him opens the door of the car like a programmed robot. "I'm going with him. You follow behind" Maximo said to his driver, gesturing to the other driver who stood by a black car. He seems to be the man Mr Marco called earlier. "Yes Sir" His driver close the door and Maximo walks over to the other driver who bowed and opens the car door for him. Without saying a word, Maximo got in so as the driver. The engine was ignited seconds later and the car drove out of the enormous compound with his driver following suit behind. "Oy!" Maximo calls prompting the driver to look at him through the rear mirror. "So, you're one of Marco's most trusted men uh? What's your name man?" He asked. "Fredo" The driver replied flatly, his eyes empty. "Fredo hmm...sounds like a big boy's name. Oy Fredo, would you like to work for me. Together let's stab Marco in the back. I'll pay you big. What you say man?" Maximo wiggles his brow while Fredo gave him a look through the mirror then looks away back to the road. "No Sir" He replied flatly, his expression void still. "You're so rigid. I don't want you also... I know how cunning Marco can be, what if you two ends up stabbing me in the back instead, come on man, that would be so tragic!" Maximo laughs it off. Fredo said no words, but just continue driving. "Ugh! Boring..." Maximo brought out his phone and started going through it. In a little while, low sounds of a female moaning rented the car. A smile playing on Maximo's lips as his eyes stayed glued on his phone. He's actually watching a heated video. Fredo sat upright on hearing the sounds and this hit Maximo's attention. "Oy Fredo! Look at this, What do you think?" Maximo came forward, bringing the phone to Fredo's face however, Fredo's eyes widened as f**k on seeing the video of a lady whom he clearly recognize as his boss's daughter, naked, fingering herself and moaning out loudly from the phone. He quickly took his eyes away. "Isn't she cute? She was so timid the first time I asked her to do this, so I found her very annoying then that I almost dumped her...but now look at how foxy she becomes. I'm proud of her, she learns well" Maximo chuckles wildly. "I'm driving" Fredo said dryly instead. "I know" Maximo replied, pulling away from him. "You sure are rigid" He shook his head reclining on the seat. "But I like you like that dude" He added, smirking. Fredo only sighs out slowly, wondering the kind of lunatic he is to be showing him such a vulgar video of his girlfriend. Just like that, and acting as if it's no big deal. AIRPORT. "Why isn't he here yet. It's been so long..." Keziah grumped, drawing patterns on the floor with her right foot as she awaits Maximo. "Did he forgot all about me or what??" She tends to call him again but just just at that moment, her phone went off due to low battery. "Arggh!!" She stomped her feet on the floor, throwing the phone back in her luxurious bag. "Whatever! I'll just find my way out somehow" She hasn't taken a step when a car drove in parking a little further from her, recognizing the label on the car to be that of her father's, she stopped. "Dad?" She mutters, and the car door opens with a tall imposing figure, stepping out, his presence exuding strong charisma and a chilly vibes. "Wow!" She exclaimed before she knew it, removing her dark shades. Her eyes didn't leave the figure as he moves about the car, opening it with another tall and bulky figure stepping out, the figure she recognizes so well. A wide grin spread on her lips and in a swift, she ran happily into his arms which spreads out for her. "Maximo!!!" She squeals happily while he lifted her up swirling her. "Baby doll!" He grins back, with his huge arms around her. "My sweet baby doll" *.   *.   *. "Come on baby doll, get on my laps" Maximo ordered sweetly and Keziah's made to sit astride his laps but he stops her, shaking his head. "Your back on me" He says and confusedly, she did as told. "I've got a little present for ya" His hot breath fans her neck, his palms stylishly rubbing her thighs, pulling her short gown up. "Pre...present? What is it?" Her breath hitched up as his fingers got to her pantie already rubbing on her clit which began getting wet and swell up just by the little touch of it. Instead of answering, Maximo sticks his tongue out, tickling her neck with it, she gulps down nothing, her head throwing back with her body wiggling slowly as his fingers keeps on rubbing on her clits which got stipulated already. "Maximo..what are you doing? We... can't_" "Shhh..." He shushed her, bringing his other free palm to her neck, he held it as if strangling her, and the one under her slowly pulls down her pantie, his tongue sticks out and it tickles her earlobe sending shivers down her spine. "Don't worry about the driver...he won't tell on you uh?" He mutters to her neck, the pantie got down her legs and she wiggle her legs taking it off, Maximo widen her legs more and she moans as fresh air blew on It. "We can do this later at ho_arhh..." Her eyeballs simply rolls in their sockets as two of his fingers thrusted into her, cutting her short, it was unexpected. "Home is for fvcking, for now baby doll...the car is for fingering. Gorrit?" He said hoarsely into her ears, his fingers moving in and out in fast pace, driving her mad with each thrust of his. "F*ck Maximo!"
