Chapter 35: Fear
“OUCH!! THIS IS NOT FAIR!! ADAM!!”
Felix’s voice echoed in the house. The twins know what happened but decide to let it be. Thank goodness they are not at their blackhouse or not, all the guards will be escaped from their work and play with her. Especially in her baby space.
“AHHH!!! PEANUT!! YOUR FEET KICK MY DICK!!” Adam crying in pain.
“Do it again, Dar!! It’s payback time!!” Felix burst into laughter.
Leo shakes his head and sighs. “We will help them later. I have something important to tell you.”
“What is it?”
“He asking about her.” Enzo looked at him with confusion. “King is asking about her, En. The news about her is that Thaver’s daughter reaches him. He wanted to meet her.” Leo clears his confusion.
“What? But you know Liana is not in a good condition right now.” Enzo frowns.
“I know. That’s why I’m telling you.” He sighs.
“Tell him Darliana is still in bad condition. Mentally. We can’t push everything to her and it will stress her out.” His brother states. Her baby space has already told them.
“I will. You know how close the king is with Thaver right? He will be stubborn and overprotective over Liana.” Leo ruffles his hair in annoyance.
“But Liana doesn’t know him. He must know to take a slow-motion for that girl. Do you want me to talk with him? Since you are not a fan of him much.” Enzo jokes.
“Gladly. I’m not saying I hate him. We in the same level. But I just hate the way he treats me.” He huffs and crosses his arms. Enzo chuckles at his twin act. Their father was also a close friend of the king mafia. So, he knows how that man treats him.
“I will call him later,” Enzo said. He is about to walk away but stops. “Can you go meet Kelvin? I ask Matthias to send him his phone log of Alex. Just checking if he got something or not.” Talking about Alex make the two guy’s mood go bad.
“That ungrateful bastard,” Leo mumbles as he went out of the house to meet Kelvin.
They losing track of them. Enzo knows they hiding somewhere. Not far. Not near. But enough to make a move on Liana. He can feel it. Now, all eyes are on that girl. The daughter of Thaver. Once she signs up to take over Thaver’s clan, everyone will bow down to her.
The thought people bow down for her make him smirk. No one notice her presence for her whole life. Now, everyone knew the little girl is Thaver’s daughter.
“Okay!! I’m done!!” Felix slams open the living room door. He stomps out and his hair were messy. “I need fresh air, En. Before I blow up in anger.” He snaps.
The guy walks into the living room and saw Liana on top of Adam laughing while pulling his hair. Adam seems like he is out of soul already. “Is your ‘minute’ talk with Leo done?” He grunts.
Enzo just laughs at his friends before going to pick the baby up. “No. You don’t pull people’s hair, Liana.” He used a firm tone. Tears form in her eyes and pouting.
“D–Daddy…” She sob.
“Daddy–what?” Adam immediately sits up. “Someone got daddy kink.” He wiggles his eyebrows with teasing smirks. Enzo just rolls his eyes and bounced the little girl. “Does Leo know?”
“I haven’t told him yet.” He said while cooing to the girl.
“I can imagine his reaction.” Adam laughs, went continues doing his work.
Enzo took a seat on the couch with the little girl on his lap. He wipes the tears that fall on her cheeks. “Next time, don’t pull people’s hair, okay?” He asks. Liana just nods. “I don’t know what to do but… maybe we can go to the backyard and play.” He suggest as they went to the backyard.
Liana just blabbered about whatever it is. When the sliding door was opened by her daddy, she squealed brightly. There’s full of flowers and a big space for her to play. On the other side is a big pool. But Enzo went to the beautiful green grass and saw down on it.
“You can play here.” He spokes. The girl looks over the pool and crawls to it. “Oh no. We’re not swimming today.” Enzo turns her around and slightly pats her butt.
That’s how they spend their time. Enzo plays with her and keeps pulling her away from the pool whenever she crawls into it. Meanwhile, Liana feels much better than before. Thanks to her little space.
Leo opens the door and saw Kelvin typing so fast on his laptop. Cara beside him, maybe analyzing something for him. Those two always work together. Sometimes people thought they are dating. Which, Leo and Enzo thought the same. But they keep denying it with a blush on their face. Obviously, they are attached to each other.
“Kel, is there something you found?” He asks.
“Not yet. But half of the phone log I already check. Nothing I found.” Before Leo could reply, he immediately said, “But!! I notice something wrong with the code.”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Cara took one piece of paper and give it to him. “Somehow, the code was different. As if… Alex using a different number every time he makes a call with other people. Except for his dad, Matthias.” She explains.
“Do you think it is to prevent people from knowing Damien’s location?” Leo asks while looking at the paper, noticing everything is different.
“We thought so.” Kelvin snaps his finger.
“Do you think you can find his last location of him?” He looks at him.
“Hmm. It might be useless, capo. Because I’m 100% the location will be Damien’s old house.” Kelvin answers. The leader sighs and puts down the paper. “Well, maybe I can try to track location area, just AREA. With that, we can find him in that area. Make it a little bit easy to find them.” He suggests.
Leo poked his inner cheek with his tongue. Just area? “If that so, do that. Take as much time as you want.” He turns to walk away but stops at the doorway. “… And Cara. Can you send a message to the king? Tell him to call Lorenzo if he wants to talk about Rosie.”
“Right away, capo.” Cara nods.
The next day, Liana woke up feeling better. Her fever might be there but it is not bad as before. She stretches her arms with yawns. She suddenly remembers what happened yesterday. She fell into baby space.
“Ughh, it’s so embarrassing.” She whines. The scene where she pulls Adam and Felis’s hair makes her whine even more. How can she face them right now?
“Oh! You are awake.” Enzo walks in. He sits on her bed beside her. “What with blushing, little baby?” He asks with smirks. Seeing his face makes her even redder. The title daddy she just used on him was so daring.
“Mmmm…” Liana snuggles her face on the pillow.
He laughs. “Oh love. You don’t know how much I like it when you call me that.”
“It–It so embarrassing.” She mumbles. Her head turns to him, “Is Lili k–know this?” Enzo’s smirks didn’t make it better.
“So what if he knew?” He teases.
“Ennie…” She whines.
The guy laughs. “No. I haven’t told him yet. You can use that title when you are in little space. I like it. Besides, the others wouldn’t judge it. It just makes you even more adorable.” His hands run through her hair.
“I think… I–I get comfortable with my l–little space. That’s why it slips from my mouth.” She sighs.
“Hey. It’s not a big deal. Only stupid people will think it big deal. Each one of us has our hidden side.” Enzo’s comforting words just made her day. He pulls her up to his hip. “Let’s go eat breakfast. Leo made sandwiches, eggs, and toast.” They went downstairs.
Before they could enter the kitchen, Enzo stopped. His princess looked at him with confusion. How can she not care how he looks closely? He looks even more… perfect.
“Love, I want to warn you about… someone.” He sighs.
“Someone? Who?” She titles her head.
“You still remember who and what happened yesterday, right?” Enzo asks. She just nods. “Alfano here. Maybe you can give him… a chance? Take a look at your father’s clan.” He suggests.
“I… don’t know. S–Something scary me.” She mutters.
Enzo pushes her head gently to his neck, rubbing her back. He knows what is it. The mafia world is not full of rainbows. It’s all about red color spill everywhere. And he knows this innocent little baby is not ready. He pushes the kitchen door open.
“Adam, all toast has burnt crust on it!! It happens all the time. They’re not burned for fucking sake!!” Felix groans rubbing his face.
“Are you sure? It all black crust all over it.” He examines it and still denies the truth.
“Oh fuck.” His friend mumbles. Meanwhile, Alfano just watches the interaction between them.
Leo snatches the toast from Adam’s hand. “If you keep complaining then don’t eat it.” He puts it on his own plate instead of him.
“Doesn’t mean I don’t eat it.” He pouts. His eyes landed on Liana and Enzo. “Good morning, peanut!!” He excitedly waved his hand.
“G–Good morning…” She timidly smiles. Still embarrassed about the incident yesterday.
“If you thinking about you pulling our hair, don’t mind it. I and Felix know you in baby space.” He chuckles. While Alfano frowns. Baby space?
Enzo made her sit between him and his brother. Her plate is already ready with food. Everyone starts eating. Liana can’t help but uncomfortable because the guy yesterday is still here. She slowly lifted her gaze and saw him eating. He comes so early. Alfano wouldn’t talk about it since he don’t want to push her.
Give a chance?
She frowns. Maybe if she gives him a chance, she can know more about her parents. “A–Alfano.” Her voice makes the guy almost drop his utensils.
“Y–Yes, Rosie?” He starts.
The new name makes her feel weird. She will get used to it. “Maybe… I–I can visit my father’s clan.” Her statement makes Alfano’s expression lit up. “I just… feel l–like to.” She mumbles. Leo and Enzo look at her.
“If that is so I will wait for you outside. Take your time to get ready, Rosie!!” He happily went out.
Adam stuff the toast in his mouth, “He really hoping you say yes.” He said with food in his mouth.

She wearing a brown dress with a dark brown ribbon headband on her head. Once she gets in, the twin bend down. “Are you sure, you will be fine alone?” Enzo asks unsure.
“I’m s–sure, Ennie. But, w–why you guys can’t come?” She nods.
“We’re sorry for not coming along. But, someone told us not to follow you there since we don’t have any relation with you and you are not yet the leader of that clan.” Leo explains.
“Oh. O–Okay.” She smiles.
The twin kissed her forehead before closing the car door. Alfano just watches their interaction. When the door opens, he starts to drive. At first, it was silent but he broke it.
“You guys look so close. They seem like… attached to you. Are you guys in a relationship?” He asks.
“N–No.” She said. When she remembers she had feelings for them she immediately spokes, “…. Yet.” Alfano seems shocked but just shrugs it off.
“Everyone misses you. All of our people.” Al changes the subject.
“R–Really?”
“Yup. They must be thrilled if you accept to be the next leader.” He chuckles.
Liana looks down and does not reply to that one. She glances at the gun in the seat pocket. The thought of her holding that makes her shiver. “Al, can I know w–who my father ran away from?”
“I believe you know Damien?” He raises a question.
“I–I do.”
“His father is one of Thaver’s enemies. The biggest one. He has been trying to destroy him but couldn’t. One day, Thaver finally gets rid of him and his entire family. So his brother tries to get revenge.” Alfano tightens his grip on the steering wheel. “And guess what? He couldn’t believe he hide his son. Damien is his son. His uncle raises him. His uncle probably tells him everything. I bet he wants to fulfill his father’s wish and get revenge. I think. But, his mind is more toward the twin. And you know why.” He shrugs his shoulder.
“Because t–they are the one w–who on his way.” She added.
“Yup. That’s right.” He said.
It is not only her in danger. But the twin too. What if something happened to them? And it all because of her? She clenches her skirt. This is bad. Very bad.
