FIVE years since Regan last stepped foot in Sicily and a lot has changed. La Cosa Nostra is now under Giorgio's family and all negotiations and affairs must go through him first. He doesn't have any contact with the past members of the mafia as this will be the first time that he'll come back to the organization since the incident that happened six years ago.

And to Regan's surprise, Wolf was present to meet him.

"Boss..." there was a hint of shock in his voice. "B-boss!" Then he ran towards him to give him a tight hug.

Regan chuckled as he gently pushed him away. "What's up?"

"D-do you still remember me? Do you still know my name?" Wolf asked as he was grasping him by his shoulder. Although Wolf's appearance changed a bit, his face didn't seem to age at all.

"Of course," he uttered and grinned. "What, you thought I got amnesia or something?"

"It's been a while, boss. There's a lot of changes in the mafia—to La Cosa Nostra since that happen. Everyone was looking for you, but the Union kept your location a secret, even you. No one knows if you're alive or dead. You just...disappeared."

"I see." He nodded.

"Are you coming back to La Cosa Nostra? Are you going to be our boss again?"

"Hmm, I have no idea." He answered and tapped his shoulder before walking towards the front door.

Regan entered the mansion and felt something bump his leg. He turned his gaze down and saw a little girl wearing a red fluffy dress looking back at him in annoyance.

"Stranger danger!" Agad nitong sigaw na kinalingon ng mga armadong lalaki sa buong silid ngunit nang makilala siya ng mga 'to ay agad na nagsi-lapitan ang mga kalalakihan at binati siya. He then turned his attention to the little girl crossing her arms while pouting.

"I'm not a stranger." Regan said before kneeling on the carpeted floor to level his eyesight to her. A smile immediately forms on his lips when the little girl stares at him with her chocolate brown eyes. She has plump rosy cheeks and long eyelashes. Her hair was long and black, and it was tied with a red bow.

He felt his heart skip as he stared longer at her. It was familiar. It felt like he knew her from his past. "I'm Regan."

Nanlaki naman ang mata ng bata sa kanya. "My name is Raegan!" she exclaimed happily. "Daddy said that my name came from an Irish name, and it means descendant of the king. But you can call me Rae!"

"That's cool." He mumbled and offered his hand. "Nice to meet you."

Rae took it for a handshake. "Are you my daddy's friend?"

"Yes, my dear." A voice answered and Regan stood up from kneeling down when Giorgio arrived. Nakipagkamay naman siya sa lalaki. "Welcome back, Regan."

"I know. It's been a while, Giorgio." He answered. Napatingin naman siya kay Rae nang maramdam niyang hinihila nito ang dulo ng suot niyang pantalon. "Yes?"

"Are you here for my birthday?"

"Yes, I am."

The little girl smiled showing her missing teeth in the front. "I'm going to tell mommy and my brothers that you have the same name as mine!" She exclaimed happily and before she ran away, she turned her gaze back to him and waved. "It's nice to finally meet you, mister!"

Hindi naman niya maalis ang tingin niya sa bata habang tumatakbo ito palayo. He still wanted to talk to her, but he stopped himself. Regan would rather walk away than let him get attached to someone again.
