The clan members gasped as the shot lady smiled at him viciously, she had hidden herself so well but Aurelius had still fetched her out.
"Who do I feel like I've seen you before?" He said as he walked to the lady who just stared at him blankly holding her shot shoulder, she wasn't even shaking, she just grinned at him.
"Maybe you have, maybe not, it doesn't make a difference" She said, she looked ready to die but Aurelius wasn't sure. Her carefree attitude was alarming, he had shot her but other people who dared to do this would be cowering at his feets right now but she was just staring at him right in the eyes.
"You're ready to die aren't you?" Aurelius asked and she just looked at the ceiling laughing whole heartedly.
"I'd do everything from my kids, my life has been paid for but you finding out why I stole from you or who sent me...is impossible" She said not minding her words, Aurelius frowned at her as he immediately lifted his gun.
Shooting her straight in the chest. The lady smiled looking at where the bullet had pierced, she just smiled at him, her eyes dull and lifeless before she fell on the floor. Blood spurted out of her mouth as she slowly lost whatever essence of life she had in her.
"This is a reminder to any other person here who is ready to betray me, that o wouldn't think twice before killing you. Clean this up" Aurelius said as he walked out of the hall, going back to his office, he needed to filter this clan badly.
The Spin Spider clan were the strongest Mafia clan's in Italy and it's don was obviously Aurelius. After the clan was forcefully taken from his cousin, he ruled and managed it with a iron fist and he doesn't joke around with business.
As he walked into his office, different documents were sprawled on the table as he stared at them tiredly but it was his calling to work this hard.
Plopping himself on his swivel chair, he got right into it. He made sure to read the documents twice, draft out what suited him before signing anything.

Freya walked into the room Robert had shown her saying the butler and an assigned maid would be with her shortly. She looked at the large room in total awe, she thought the sitting room was beautiful but this was just wow.
Everything had a striking colour of red that matched her hair, she didn't know if Aurelius did it purposely to make her happy or he did it just for interior sake but over all, it made her happy.
With shaky feets, she walked closer to the dressing table by the corner, looking at herself in the mirror. It looked at if she had lost weight drastically but that was just because she rarely had appetites these days.
Sighing sadly, she moved to the bed, sitting down as she buried her face in her plans allowing her emotions over take her for a while.
She had promised herself not to allow where she was now to affect her emotions. Ever since she got shot by him and slapped, she put that fierce attitude away for now. When her mother was still alive and same, Freya was a cute and obedient girl, never questioning anyone who spoke to her.
But life has better plans for her, taking a huge turn till now. She was that person once more, she heard a knock on the door that made her snap out of her thoughts as she wiped the tears that had unconsciously rolled down her cheeks.
"Come on!" She yelled softly as she raised her head up to meet an older man dressed in a tuxedo, he had soft blue eyes and the face of someone's grandpa. Behind him was a lady who looked around her age, with blind locs, same blue eyes as the older man but her's had more life.
"Good day mademoiselle, I'm Eric. This is my granddaughter Piper. We'll be serving you at your stay in our great villa" Eric said as he stared at freya who stared at him blankly, he noticed she looked as though she was about to cry.
"Hi" Piper just said shortly as her eyes ran up and down on Freya's body as she shook her head in disagreement, she turned walking out of the room as she slammed the door behind her.
"What's that for?" Freya asked as she stared at the door with mixed feelings, Eric just shook his head as he took a step towards her, plopping himself on the bed.
"Let me guess, you're forced to be here, aren't you?" Eric asked as Freya just turned to look at him as she slowly nodded. Eric just smiled softly as he took her hand in his rubbing them soothingly.
"It's not the end of the world, darling. Master Aurelius might be strict as fuck, but he has a sweet side that he once showed to someone before that side completely died. With the way he spoke of earlier, you just need to be obedient, a little hard headed and maybe you both would go far... together" Eric said as Freya just stared at him for a while before sliding her hand out of his.
"With all due respect, sir. I need you to leave my room, please" Freya said as she stared at him, her tears threatening to fall but Eric just maintained his position.
"What's there about crying? I know you're hurt, somewhere deep inside you, but crying isn't something to be ashamed of" Eric said as Freya folded her fists beside her body as she stared at him.
Tears slowly dropped down her cheeks as she sniffed.
"So you know what that monster did to me? He walked into my life, turned everything upside down, murdered my parents and took me away from my home. You tell me to be patient? Even if I'm obedient, I will never in a thousand years fall in love with him" Freya yelled at the old man as he just stared at her in pity, once she finished talking, she palmed her face as tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably as she sobbed.
Eric shook his head as he stood up, hugging her as she patted her back. "It's not the end of the world, Freya" he just whispered making freya wrap her hands around him as she sobbed.
The door slowly clicked open as Aurelius stepped inside, he frowned at the scene in front of him.
