Chapter

Caelum clenched his jaw. Eric lifted his wine glass to his lips when Caelum pushed out his chair, pulling out a gun from his coat, and cocked it at his head.

His eyes had become shrewd dark as he spoke in a voice so dark, so dangerous, "You know it's been quite long since I wanted to kill someone this badly."

Eric's whole body panicked. His eyes were terror-stricken as he made an attempt to laugh awkwardly.

 Rosette had her hands clasped over her mouth. Her body was paralyzed at the sight of the gun.

"Y-you can't s-shoot me." He said, trying to sound calm.

Caelum smirked, "Oh really?"The sound like a crack of a whip boomed across the room, filling it with a sulfurous and metallic smell.

The bullet pierced through his shoulder. Eric screeched in horror, as his chair tumbled backward from the commotion of his injury.

Rosette sat wide-eyed. She felt scared. She felt like a little kid looking at a forbidden act in a dark alley.

Just then the glass sliding doors of the hall, leading to the outdoor lawn slid open, and in came a platoon of police officers along with few black unformed men.

Eric was howling in pain, like a rogue animal. Painting the floor with his blood-soaked fingers.

The cops pointed their guns at everyone present in the room except Caelum.

"THIS LUNATIC WILL KILL ME!! I'M DYING!" Eric screamed pointing a finger at Caelum.

"Chief, what do we do?" One of the policemen in the front row asked.

In walked two ladies. Both of them were devilishly breathtaking. The first one had long black hair tied into a ponytail, her face had a confident aura, gorgeous but firm. She wore a cop's uniform and judging by the badges, she was certainly the highest ranker present there.

The other lady was part black. Her long box braids fell to her waist. She had the charm of a snake. The type that had a warning sign imprinted on it, still the sight that drew people in. she wore an off-shoulder white shirt with a waist corset and skin-tight skirt.

The way, the two of them walked in casually, revealed how they were the chief of the party.

The lady cop waved to the officers, who immediately put down their guns.

She paced to Eric, who was still crawling with pain. She squatted and checked his wound. She looked up at Caelum standing on the other side.

"Seriously?" she questioned, "You fucking shot him?!"

Caelum shrugged, scratching his forehead with the mouth of his gun, "He'll live."

The other women huffed a laugh, "You still have the mafia in your blood, boy."

The cops quickly took a wailing Eric away as some went inside the house to arrest Amy as well.

Caelum clenched his jaw. He didn't want to hear what she said, "I just called Venetia. What are you doing here Soren, weren't you in England?"

Soren scoffed, "So you expected me to watch you spill blood? Do you know how many of them will smell the blood here and come for you?"

"Why do you bother?" he snapped back, "Are you so idle these days?"

"Idle?! Do you think it's easy to manage a whole organization of criminals, especially when you are a woman and black!" she threw her hands up, "But then there's you. You wanted to leave- I let you. But now you-,"
