STRANGE

Mafia

Dad and mom used to fight over a lot of stuff but they always try to sort things out every time. Haa...even if they argue a lot they were once in love and make sure we are taken cared of. I miss dad but mom can't be blamed for his mistakes. I inherited the company and the clients as well as the bad reputation, the darkness that comes with it. I have protected drug lords, mafia kings and prostitution dens but I never killed anyone. I spare individuals, because I still value life unlike dad who kills for pleasure and use girls for sex and practice of power. I respect women and I would never be like my father. But something inside me would creep out once in a while and lure my heart and soul to feast on sea of hot women, drugs, money and influence that I tend to forget the reason why I accepted to head this group. I vowed to protect the innocent and share our profits to the needy and the exploited or marginalized. I never miss helping people out and I will not intend to start now. Yet, I felt that the unfortunate accident that night at the bar has made me fragile and prone to weakness and darkness that it's okay to tolerate things even if they are wrong. I am strong willed and fight for what's just and good. I make things right when needed.

But I have this inner hunger, desire that only carnal things can quench. But now that I have the ability to protect the innocent and make things easy for them, I just do it and deal with my demons while I defeat evil. I don't wait for things to work out. I make things happen and create them since I can. Ah....Vanes is so beautiful hugging baby CB on her chest. Both of my girls have fallen asleep while waiting for me, maybe. I carried Vanes and swiftly placed her in our bed. I took CB from her arms and laid the baby inside her crib at the end of our bed. I hugged Vanes and kept her warm with my embrace. I kissed her on the lips and her forehead. She was so tired that she didn't even flinch but hugged me just the same. "I hope you did good today. Have you eaten your dinner?", Vanes whispered. Yes, I ate the food you left me on the fridge. I did good and I helped a girl in need. I love you. Sleep now, honey! Okay. Okay!!!, Vanes replied and she continued to sleep like a baby in my arms until dawn. Uha...Uhaaaaaaaa!!!, I thought I was dreaming that I heard CB crying and just said, uhuh to Vanes when she asked me about something which I couldn't figure out what. Then, I woke up realizing that I was still holding my girl in my arms which is in fact unreal. Vanes is already gone out of bed and the sun is already shining brightly as I brush my hair back and wipe my eyes off. I didn't know that I had a tiny scratch from last night's action. That girl, ah...what's her name again, ah yeah, Nikki, seemed nice. Hmm.... Ahhh....brushing my teeth, scrubbing myself in the tub is nice, I told myself while taking a quick shower and bath all together. This scratch is a bit itchy, so I cleansed it with alcohol and put some ointment with penicillin in it. Ouch, it stung a little while but it definitely made the scratch clean. Maybe it's going to dry off and easily heal too. Hi, man! What's up? Yeah, uhuh. Oh! I see. Right, how about on Monday! What is today anyway? Okay. See you there, then. Thanks. It was Arlo, he just made a client call and would want to do business in buying off lands, my estates, in the country side. I wasn't planning to sell my properties off but to maybe to lend it to these rich business men.

What a way to make clean money after the many years that I have been stuck under the influence of dirty businessmen and politicians. I didn't know what to do or how to get out of the filth. But Vanes has taught me to deal with my demons and create a diversion, and choose to be a good person. I am a new woman, living a new life. New me in a new body, new family and a new beginning with my loves. I gave Uncle Glen, the authority, to rule over the underworld and though our clients didn't like my decision. I needed to focus on my heroine stuff, and to be able to spend more time with my new found family. The Triad and Dark Group decided to make Glen the Head of all our underground operations but I remained the Lord of the Underworld. I thought it was a good idea making Glen our new Head but I was wrong. As Mafia-X and the Lord of the Dark, I didn't have a choice but to make things work. I made sure that I clean up the mess of some of my members. Yet, I scold them when they have done too much evil I need to lay them low and fix the things and pay the people they wronged. However, as a superhero, I made sure that the bad guys doesn't come back to ruin children's teens and adults lives. Haaa... it's hard to weigh things down.

I nearly went crazy doing two things at the same time by helping, rescuing the helpless or individuals in distress, thus, dealing with the dark group's members or bad apples and making them pay for the damages they've done or me fixing the lives of the families of the traitors or some random individual they accidentally or intentionally disposed of. Babe! I will be joining a book fair this month. Avery will be managing it. It's just a three day affair. You can come if you like!, Vanes said while massaging my shoulders. Ahh...that's nice, sure, if I won't have to save an old lady falling from a gutter or a beggar from a thief!!!!, Haha!, I cried gripping Vanes's arm and pulling her close to me. We landed on the bed and she is now on top of me.
