Lord Dom, Mr. Cason, Jake, and Aria took a stroll around the compound together engaged on random conversations when they mentioned Aria’s nanny.
“Boss, why’d you hired a young nanny for the little lady?” Mr. Cason asked.
“Aria hired the nanny herself,” Lord Dom muttered.
“Really? Aria? Is there something you aren’t telling me?”
“Grandpa, I like Celia,”
“You like her? Did she do this to you?” he winked, tickling her, and she giggled.
“No, no, not that. You are the only one who normally does that,” she said, amidst laughters.
“Then… did she did this?!” he shouted in her ear, and she covered her ears immediately.
“No, not that too,” she giggled.
“Then—“
“No, no, no. I like her because she understands Jossy’s painting,” she said, and they all looked at her.
Lord Dom rolled his eyes. He has tried everything he could to know her reason for choosing Celia, who could have thought it was because she of a tacky painting.
“Really? What’s there to understand?” Mr. Cason asked.
“Nothing. You can’t understand,” she teased, and he feigned a sad look.
He chatter away in Aria for a while before they retreat to Lord Dom’s office and Jake took Aria to her quarter.
“I apologize Boss, we couldn’t discuss anything during the walk. I’ve really missed the Little Lady,”
“It was obvious. That could explain why you fled back from your vacation,”
“I enjoyed my vacations a lot but what kind of man will I be to have fun and forget home,”
“Mr. Cason,”
“Lord Dom, it’s Joffrey, you’re the Don now, you shouldn’t address me with so much respect,”
“I was just a boy before I became the Boss,”
“Either as a boy or a Boss, I’ll forever be your underlining, your consigliere. I served your father, and it’s my duty to serve you too,”
“Then we will argue about this a lot. I’m used to my old ways of addressing,”
“Yeah, and we will continue to argue over it,”
“I believe so,” Lord Dom chuckled.
“Jake has been sent to Aria’s quarter, and I didn’t see Tom around… what’s going on?”
“Tom was exiled to the East,”
“Oh… capable men like Tom will make a perfect spy in the East,”
“That was the only way he can live. Bianca has been bothering me more than the East lately,”
“Because of the attack?”
“She attacked Aria, Aria was her target. What if she tries something messy? I can’t act rashly but I can’t just sit still either! The East want a truce with the West, if that happens, they will attack us immediately. Should we prepare for war?”
“No. You should go on a vacation,”
“What?”
“Boss, when you’re confused, taking your mind away from everything and choosing your own peace of mind is the best choice. During my vacation, I joined a group chat of men in their 60s and hanged out together discussing about our children and grandchildren. For a moment, I forget who I was, who I have always been and lived carefree like an ordinary man, sleeping like I has son enemies. But the moment I stepped out, I was reformed, reformed back to where I belonged and I felt so at ease that I could overcome everything and go on another break,”
“Mr. Cason, it doesn’t make sense. I can’t live that carefree life again. The last time I did, I lost Her, the thought of what can happen if I dare again… I can’t imagine it,”
“Dominic, we made a promise the day you returned,” Mr. Cason said, taking Lord Dom back to the memories of his past.

FLASHBACK to few years ago***
*
Dominic sat on the floor staring blankly at his wife’s wedding ring and her necklace when Mr. Cason walked up to him, and Dominic grabbed him by the collar.
“I shouldn’t have left, I would’ve been there to protect them! It is all your fault, I’m going to klll you!” he threatened, and Mr. Cason gently released his hand away.
“Yes, you should. She dled because of me, it was my fault. You should klll me, but allow me klll the person that did this first,”
“I don’t need your help. I’ll go down to the East myself and burn down every single one of them,”
“Then you will allow me dle smoothly. I want to dle by your hands with a lot of pressure. I want to carry all your burden with mine because someone must look after the Little Lady that has your blo0d,”
“Take my daughter out of your scheme! You sly fox!”
“You also wanted her to be out, you left because of her. You left everything behind because of her, but she ended up paying the price,”
“What could have changed? I wasn’t even there to protect her!”
“She wouldn’t have been alone! She will have a thousand guards watching over her! But you left, and she paid the price!” Mr. Cason yelled, and Dominic slapped him.
“Shut your mouth!”
“Yes! That’s the Little Boss I know! Take out everything on me, all your pains let me carry your burden. I’ll help you defeat the East, all you have to do is protect your daughter. You already failed her mother, and my life is yours afterwards,”
“You want me to return?”
“That’s the only way you can protect your daughter, get revenge and klll me,”
“I want the East burned down to ashes, every single one of them,”
“It’s a gradual process, but consider it done. It might be in the nearest future, but the East will burn down into flames. I’ll prepare your quarter, and welcome back your return,” Mr. Cason bowed slightly and Dominic looked at the ring again.
“I’ll get back at them, every single one of them, including you,” he threatened with clenched fists.

FLASHBACK ENDS***
*
Lord Dom emptied his glass of wine and looked at Mr. Cason.
“It’s almost eight years, but you’re forgetting to fulfill your promise. Are you relent because you’re next?”
“This old man has lived long enough. It’s my duty to serve you and you’ve the authority to get rid of me,”
“So, why are you sending me on a vacation? You promised to get rid of the East but all you have been doing are petty business,”
“It might be just the south against the big city. Lord Santos (Boss in the North) does nothing but waste his life clubbing away, his Underboss is the one passing the order, and he can easily be swayed,”
“What are you getting at?”
“Lady Bianca tried to harm the Little Lady, so do you think she will back out!”
“The East attacked me in Chicago, but they used the same strategy as Bianca and I can’t even remember it,”
“It might not be the East, it could be Lady Bianca,”
“Seriously… I think I really need the break,”
“Boss, this might sound offensive , but why did you approve such a young nanny? Little lady needs all the protection she can get,”
“That’s why I sent Jake to her,”
“What’s your opinion on the nanny?”
“I suspected her until few days ago, and now… I’ve unfinished business with her,”
“Unfinished business in what stance?”
“I don’t know, but I believe she is related to my trip in Chicago, she’s somehow related to the memories I lost,”
“That’s interesting, so you can still do some work during your vacation. Take the nanny with you to look after the Little Lady, and complete your unfinished business with her as well because it will be a long battle when you return,”
“What? Why should I take her with me?”
“To complete the unfinished business,” Mr. Cason winked.
“You’re assuming too much,”
“Jake and I will watch over home, go enjoy a carefree vacation with your daughter, and her nanny,” he winked, and Lord Dom scoffed, rolling his eyes.

***IN THE WESTERN PART OF NEW YORK***
*
LORD GREYJOY’S (Bianca’s father) MANSION^^^
^
Lord Greyjoy, his Underboss, and few of the powerful Carpons in the West gathered together enjoying a fist when Lord Greyjoy started choking on his drink.
“Lor…” the Underboss was saying but he chocked on his drink as well, and started coughing out blo0d.
The others started choking as well while Jay who was also ok the room stood there smirking evilly.
“You… call for help,” Lord Greyjoy struggled to say.
“In your next life, if that actually exists, be good to your daughter,” Jay said, and walked out.
“Traitorrrrrr…” Lord Greyjoy slurred and the place went ablaze
Jay dragged a badly wounded man to join the other men who are trying to quench the fire.
“He is one of the spies from the East, he set the Bosses ablaze,” he said, and shot the man then threw him in the fire, leaving the other perplexed as they tried to quench the fire.
**
Bianca stood by her window and ran out the moment she saw the smoke.
“What happened?” she asked the first person she saw.
“It was the East, one of their spies set the Bosses ablaze during their feast,” Jay said, approaching her, and she gasped in disbelief.
