Jake went to the Prosecutor’s office and requested Emma’s audience to settle the case amicably.
“Are you going to threaten her?” the Prosecutor blurted, calling Emma who promised to be there.
“There’s a misunderstanding here, and I want to address it,” Jake said, and the Prosecutor chuckled.
“Of course, as a lawyer, you should settle the misunderstanding, but a gangster, you overthrow the misunderstanding. And when you’re a mixture of the two, I’m just curious about what you’ll do,”
“Cletus, you’re going to continue beating on that, right?“
“When did you become this way? No, why did you choose to be this way? No, I don’t know what to ask Jake, but I wish I never knew you,”
“Likewise,”
“We’re supposed to be lawyers who defend just,”
“No, that’s for Prosecutors,“
“Why did you choose this pathetic path?!” Cletus shouted, and hit the desk, while the paralegal in the office coughed slightly.
“Miss Britton is taking too long, I don’t think I can wait. Kindly give here my card to give me a call,” Jake said, and dropped his card on the desk.
“I rather not,”
“It’s a request, and you can also give me a call when she’s here,”
“It’s my choice,”
“Mr. Anthony, I—“
“I’ve other things to do,” he blurted.
Jake let out a sigh and shook his head before leaving. He was heading to the parking lot when he bumped into someone on his way.
“Oh, I’m sorry” she shouted, and was about to leave but Jake held her back, “What?” she blurted.
“Miss Emma Britton?” he asked, and she nodded.
“Hoooww… how do you know my name?” she mumbled. .
“I’m Jake, the attorney you’re supposed to meet at the Prosecutor’s office,” he said, and gave her his card.
“What? You’re the gangster-lawyer?!” she gasped, and covered her mouth with his palm.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, I’m coming from the Prosecutor’s office, can we go somewhere private to talk?”
“What? You’re asking me out?” she stuttered.
“Pardon ?”
“I mean… I thought you’re a gangster, but why’re you so handsome?” she murmured, and he inhaled deeply.
“There is a coffee shop across the street, we can talk better there,”
“This is not right, no matter how handsome you’re, you can’t just ask me on a date on our first meeting,” she said, tucking her hair behind her ear.
“What?” he blurted.
“What?!” she snapped back.

LORD DOM’S ISLAND HOUSE^^^
^
Celia and Aria batted their lashes as they looked at Lord Dom who was giving them instructions on what to do and the time to return home.
“This is my card, Aria knows the pin. There is enough cash in this bag, so you’re good to go,”
“Daddy, why are you sending us off?”
“Because you want to go out. We strike a deal, did you change your mind?”
“No,“
“Then go. The seaplane is waiting,”
“But why must we go alone?” Celia blurted.
“Pardon?”
“We’re supposed to go together, we’re in a new country and we aren’t even guarded, we don’t know our way around, and others,”
“Neither do I. And yes, you’re in a new country, no one knows who we are. Take good care of Aria, as her nanny,”
“Daddy, I’ll get candies for you,”
“That’s my girl,”
“We will abide by all your instructions, and be back before sunset,” Celia said.
“Be back safely, I’m entrusting you with my daughter,” he said, and she nodded.
“Daddy, I can take care of myself,” Aria interjected.
“I know. I trust you,” he said, and she smiled.

They both left the island with the seaplane, and Mr. Levi drove them to the bus station.
“What? Do you expect us to take a bus?” Aria snapped.
“Excuse me, the Bo—, I mean, Mr. Dom, oh… whatever, my Boss told us that you’ll drive us to our destination,” Celia said.
“Do you think I’m a cargo? I am a busy man. You can find your way from here or I take you back to the island!”
“Who do you think you are snapping at?!” Aria blurted.
“Exactly what I wanted to ask. Who do you think you’re snapping at little girl?!” he fired back.
“I—“ Aria was saving, but Celia covered her mouth.
“Don’t worry, we will be fine. Thank you,” Celia said, and Mr. Levi left angrily.
“Why?”
“We shouldn’t cause any troubles,”
“But how are we supposed to find our way around? There is no way we are taking the bus!”
“We can always find a comfortable cab,” Celia said, looking around.
She was already lost on the options they have when a man walked up to them.
“Hi, do you need a ride?” he asked, and she let out a a sigh of relief.
Everyone around have been speaking Dhivehi that she was wondering how to communicate with them until the man approached her.
“Yes, we need a ride to this resort,” she said, showing him the address.
“It’s very famous. Many foreigners visit that place. This way, I’ll drive you to your destination,” he said, leading the way to a fancy car.
“You’re a driver? How come you drive such a nice car?” Aria asked.
“Oh, this is just a side job,”
“How come you speak English so well? Are you from America?” Aria asked, and Celia looked at her wondering why she was asking so much questions.
“No, but I’m a citizen of the United Kingdom. I grew up there, and returned home when j was a teenager,”
“Why are you explaining with so much detail?”
“Aria…” Celia cautioned.
“Ma’am, do you want the ride or I should find other customers? It’s easy to find customers with a fancy ride,”
“We’re sorry, sir. We will take the ride,” she said, and held Aria’s hand, “Don’t be rude, this is our lucky ride,”
“This is too good to be real, and mind you, I don’t believe in luck,”
“Likewise, but we can’t be stranded here,”
“Whatever,”

They entered the car and the drive inhaled sharply before he drove off.
They ride in silence for a while until they drove to a particular location where thier internet connection disappeared, and they started having difficulties with the map.
“Are you sure that you’re heading to the right location? The ride is taking so long and I’m currently unable to use my map,” Celia complained.
“Don’t worry, ma’am, it’s a long a ride. You will soon be able to use your map. But be rest assured, I’m very familiar with the place,”
“You said so, that doesn’t mean it’s the truth!” Aria snapped.
The rest of the ride was in silence and they drove for several minutes with no connection. Already panicking, Celia tried to call Lord Dom but it didn’t connect either.
“Stop the car! We won’t move if we can’t use the map!” Aria snapped,
“It’s already late, we’re already there,” he said, and pulled over at a valley.
“What? Where are we?” Celia grumbled in fear.
“I know something was fishy,” Aria muttered.
“What do we do? The internet is not working here,” Celia stuttered in fear.
The driver opened the car door and ushered them out.
“Hi, Little Lady, I’ve heard a lot you,”
“You, you knew who we are. Are you from the East?” Aria trembled, and held Celia’s hand.
“I don’t know who that is, but I’m quite scary than them,” he blurted
They looked around trying ro find an escape but they knew better than running away.
They counted their steps away from him as far as they could, and he chuckled walking closer to them. Each step he took closer they counted backward.
“What do we want from us?” Celia trembled.
“I want nothing, I’m just following orders,” he blurted.
He walked closer to them with an evil smirk already across his face. Aria watched his steps, and brought out a knofe from her pocket, throwing it to his chest before he could dodge it.
“Arggh!” Celia screamed.
The man held his chest trying to catch his balance, and Aria threw a knife at his leg, before grabbing Celia’s hand.
“Let’s run!” she shouted, and they both picked to their heels.
They ran for a moment, and froze on their feet immediately when three men approached them. They retreated, and noticed that they have been surrounded.
“What do we do?” Celia cried.
“They are my Daddy’s enemies. We’re screwed,” Aria muttered.
“Hi, Little Lady of New York, you’re just as scary as I heard,” one of them said approaching them.
They both painicjed in fear as he walked closer to them.
“You must be the nanny. But you look too beautiful to be a nanny…” he said, licking his lips as he walked closer to gnem.
He wanted to touch Celia when they heard gunshots and he suddenly fell down. The two men opposite them fell to the ground as well, and the others ran away.
“It was supposed to be a break,” Lord Dom muttered.
“Daddy!” Aria shouted, and ran into his embrace.
Celia held her chest in fear as she looked from Lord Dom to the d£ad men on the ground.
“Let’s go,“ Lord Dom said.
Sha tried to move her legs to walk closer to them but her legs felt too weak, and she passed out the spot.

LADY BIANCA’S MANSION^^^
^
Bianca summoned Jay to her office, and he bragged in without knocking, headed straight to sit on the couch, and crossed his on the table.
“What…” she stuttered.
“My Lady, you summoned me,”
“So? Are you supposed to seat that way? You didn’t even greet me,”
“Pardon my manners, I was exhausted,”
“Such insolence,” she grumbled, and went to sit.
“How may I help you this time?”
“Oscar was arrested yesterday, and it seems difficult to get him out,”
“Oh…”
“Is that all you’ve to say?”
“My lady, I’m very busy with the personal assignments you gave me, so I don’t think I can help with that,”
“Cut the crap!” she shouted, and hit the table which made him drop his legs immediately, “I don’t know what to, Oscar is a very important Carpon, he has been running the nightclub and it’s underground business smoothly since the West was established. We can’t keep him behind bars, we have to do something!”
“Yes. He is a very important Carpon so we have to get him out. No, you’ve to get him out because you’re the most powerful person in the West. I have no power compared to yours,”
“Cut the crap! What do you want? Just say it!”
“I want power,”
“Do you want to keep Oscar in prison and take over the nightclub? Is that the power you want?”
“That’s not power to me,”
“So what do you want?! Why all these arrogance?! Do you want the West to yourself?!”
“I don’t dare,”
“This is no joke. Oscar is in the police custody and will be transferred to the prosecutors soon. We’ve to get him out of there before he is transferred and I don’t even know what to do,”
“Make me the Underboss,”
“What?”
“I want power, make me the Underboss and I’ll be able to run things through. I’ll get Oscar out, and solve many more problems,”
“That’s impossible,”
“Why? Because I’m just a beggar boy to you?”
“Are you holding grudges? Why’re you suddenly thirsty for power?”
“I don’t want you to see me as that kid anymore, I don’t want others to see me that way anymore. So, I want power. Give me the power, and you won’t have to worry about the West,”
“This isn’t what you promised me,”
“Why am I the only one making the promises when you’re the one who will benefit from them?”
“What?”
“You heard me,”
“Are you suddenly greedy? What will you do after I make you the Underboss? Will you get rid of me and be the Boss?”
“No, I want to be with you, I can’t get rid of you. I need power to assit you the best way I can,”
“Get Oscar out first, and I’ll think about it,”
“He will be out shortly, and you’ll make your decision tonight,” he said, and stood up, “If that’s all, I’ll be on my way now, My Lady,” with that, he bowed slightly before leaving.
Sh stared blankly at his retreating back till he was out of sight.
“What has gotten into him?” she grumbled.
