Who said only love gives more pain?
When misunderstanding increases it becomes hard to survive in this world.
Especially when someone precious had taken away from you just because of some misunderstanding.
Being in love is like a fairytale until you realized it's just....
________________________________
In a small apartment everything was destroyed and lying on the floor. It was looking like someone fought and struggled hard but didn't succeed.
Everything was looking a mess in the whole apartment but the view of the living room was the worst.
A man in his thirties lying on the floor, half-dead. His wife was crying over her husband's condition, sitting close to the sofa on her knees. Her hands were tied.
A man was looking at her with his dirty, hungry sight, sitting on the sofa. His partner was holding a 16 year old teenage guy. His grip was tight around his arms.
The teenage boy was struggling and calling out for his parents but they were helpless. Because of too much struggle he got kicked on his legs and the man kneel him down and then tied his hands. He aimed his gun on his head.
𝙈𝙖𝙣: Really… your wife is beautiful…
The man on the sofa said while licking his lower lip. She felt disgusted because of his presence and tried to go away but he grabbed her arm and pulled her close to his feet.
......
STAY AWAY YOU B@STARD.
The teenage boy yelled and the man behind him who was aiming his gun at him, put his shoe over his face to shut him up.
His father called his son but his own voice wasn't coming out properly. The man on the sofa looked at them and then shook his head.
𝙈𝙖𝙣: Too bad… I can't taste her because… boss wants them dead..
He said while being pitiful on them. Without wasting another second he took out his gun from his pants and aimed it at the half-dead man on the floor.
......
L.. leave him.. ugh…. You…@ss..hole..
The teenage boy tried to struggle again but couldn't because the man was pressing his shoe on his face way too hard.
Within a second, a bullet came out from the gun and hit his father's back on the left side. That man aimed it at his heart. He died on the spot and that man turned to the wife.
𝙈𝙖𝙣: This is for betraying Smiths.
He said with his expressionless face and she cried over her husband's death. That man looked at her and then he knelt down in front of her.
......
Nooo… sta..y… a..way… from… h... mm….
The teenage boy yelled in pain. But no one listened to him. His own father died in front of his eyes and he wasn't able to do anything for him.
𝙈𝙖𝙣: This is not your fault. Your husband betrayed his Boss and now because of his betrayal you all have to get the punishment. I'm feeling really sorry for you.
He said with pity and then laughed loudly. His wife was crying badly. Without another word he aimed it on her head and pulled the trigger.
She fell dead on the floor with her eyes open. Tears were still flowing from her eyes but there was no one to hear them.
The man put his gun back and mummored. He turned around and saw his partner pressing his shoe on that teenage boy's face. Tears were flowing from his eyes because of his parents death.
His parent's dead body was lying in front of him and he couldn't do anything because his hands were tied.
𝙈𝙖𝙣2: What about him? What should we do with him?
His partner asked and he took a last glance at that teenage boy and then passed the order.
𝙈𝙖𝙣: Send him to his parents… but… gently…
And then he walked out from there without a word. His partner aimed his gun on his head.

A man was lying on his bed and sweating badly. It was midnight. He was clenching the bedsheet hard and was mummering something.
Silas Romano ★ML
Ma…. pa….. no….Noooo.
He got up scared and huffing. His breath was heavy and heart was racing fast. He looked around with his blue icy eyes and found himself in his room. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned to his side table.
His hands were trembling and with those hands, he poured down water in glass and then picked it up. He drank the water in one go and put it back on the side table.
His mind was blank. His breath was still heavy. He got up from the bed and walked to his wardrobe. He was shirtless and his well-built body was visible.
He opens his wardrobe and slides his clothes aside. Behind them a black box was there. His blue icy eyes became darker. He took it out and placed it on the table near him.
With some deep breath he opened that box and saw that there was a gun, three bullets and a picture was there. It was a photo of some middle aged man.
He took out that picture and walked backward to his bed and sat on the edge of it. He stared at that photo for a few minutes and then whispered darkly with his sparkly blue icy eyes.
Silas Romano ★ML
Betrayal? I'll show you what real betrayal is!

Cole was standing near the helipad. Two men in black suits were also standing behind him and they were looking at the helicopter which was landing on the helipad.
As it landed, the door of the helicopter opened and Silas stepped out from it with a man in all black. He walked a few steps away from the helicopter and Cole ran to him then joined him, walking straight to the car.
Cole Valentino ★ML's assistant
Sir… thank God you came… I thought that –
Cole immediately stopped blabbering because of the death glare of Silas. His man opened the door for him and he got inside. Cole was seated beside him and his men were in the front seats.
Silas Romano ★ML
Where is Cameron?
Silas asked and Cole gulped before giving him an answer.
Cole Valentino ★ML's assistant
He's waiting for you in the office.
Silas nodded and looked outside from the window. He came back from the business trip and now instead of going home, he was going to the office to meet his friend, his business partner and his life saver.
Cameron and Silas were together for ages. Silas was half french and half American on the other hand, Cameron was whole American, calmest and intelligent person.
Both were the opposite. One thing that is common in them was their mindset about business. And that's the reason they were together till now.
Soon, they arrived at the office building and Silas got down from the car before his men. Cole immediately ran after him inside the building.
Ignoring everyone he straight gets in the elevator. Silas was cold and everyone was aware of this fact. He was a business tycoon and was the youngest businessman among all the people.
The thing that attracted the people most was his eyes. The blue icy eyes, hiding the darkest secrets in them. He knows well how to mask his feelings behind his coldness and that's why women like to get along with him which he doesn't like a bit.
On the other hand, Cameron was nice and easy to deal with. He treats women nicely which they kinda like but not too much because you know… we always want that sh!t which we can't get easily.
Elevator doors opened and he stepped out from it, walking straight to his cabin. Before he could open the door Cole interrupted.
Cole Valentino ★ML's assistant
Sir, you have a –
Silas immediately took the envelope from his hand and got inside the cabin, shutting the door on Cole's face. Silas saw Cameron sitting on the sofa which was lying right in front of his desk.
Silas walked deep in and left the envelope on the table, in front of Cameron. He then walked to the huge glass window of his cabin which was from ceiling to the floor.
Cameron took a glance at him before picking up that envelope. It was the invitation from the charity gala which Silas has joined recently.
Cameron Dallas ★ML's bestie
Aren't you going there?
Cameron asked him without looking at him and Silas took a deep breath. A silence took place between them and then Silas broke it.
One word answer, as usual. He doesn't talk too much until it's very, very important. Cameron sighed and looked at his back. Silas blue icy eyes were dark and empty.
Cameron Dallas ★ML's bestie
I think Victor will also be there.
And there his blue icy eyes sparkled again. He didn't respond but slowly turned around. Cameron noticed it sparkle in his eyes. Silas lazily walked to his desk, resting his b*tt on it.
Silas Romano ★ML
How are you so sure?
Silas asked him with no expression and Cameron again sighed.
Cameron Dallas ★ML's bestie
Victor is an old member of this organization and… you joined it recently because of him.
Again a silence took place between them. Both were just staring straight in each other's eyes.
Cameron Dallas ★ML's bestie
When are you going to take action?
Silas Romano ★ML
Soon.. very soon..
After a pause Silas responded and Cameron looked away.

#Chapter - 3
________________________________
On the day of the charity gala, everyone was gathered there in a big hall of some organization. Smith's family was also there except for one person. Victor Smith and Jules Smith were doing a meet and greet with some guests who were approaching them.
Ariel was just smiling and responding to them. Everything was going well until a member of the organization Mr. John with his son Jason who were also the partners in business, approached them.
Mr. John said with a smile and Victor smiled back. Jason looked around to search for someone but then he noticed that Ariel was looking at him.
𝙅𝙖𝙨𝙤𝙣: Um.. hello Ms. Ariel.."
Jason greeted her and she just smiled.
𝙈𝙧. 𝙅𝙤𝙝𝙣: Where is Anastasia? Will she not come?
Mr. John asked Victor who looked at his wife and daughter one by one.
Victor Smith ★FL's Dad
She'll land here tonight so –
𝙅𝙖𝙨𝙤𝙣: Yes I also saw in her interview that she's taking a break from her singing career. Why is that? I mean…
Jason interrupted in between and Mr. Smith wasn't able to complete his sentence. He didn't respond and looked at his wife Jules who was smiling awkwardly.
In all this mess, a pair of blue icy eyes were fixed on them. He was just staring at Victor. Rage and hate was clear in his blue icy eyes. That horrible night was playing in front of his eyes and he was trying hard not to shoot him on the spot.
His grip around the glass of whiskey tightened and it was looking like he'd break it. Before he could lose his control over himself. He felt a hand on his shoulder and his muscles lost a bit which was tightened before.
Cameron Dallas ★ML's bestie
Relax.
Cameron calmed him down and Silas nodded while taking a deep breath. Both looked at Smiths then Cameron whispered.
Cameron Dallas ★ML's bestie
You've to deal with this matter with a calm mind. Rage only brought destruction to you.
Silas Romano ★ML
•••••••••
Silas neither responded nor gave any reaction, he was only staring at Victor. On the other hand, Victor was looking for a reason to cover this matter but Jules spoke.
Jules Smith ★FL's Mom
Uh.. she was feeling tired for a while.... that's why she decided to take a break.
Jules covered up this mess with a perfect lie but Mr. John wasn't looking to buy it.
𝙈𝙧. 𝙅𝙤𝙝𝙣: Well… Victor… I was thinking that… we're very good partners in business… how about taking this relation to the next level?
Mr. John asked Victor in a friendly way and Victor slightly chuckled, agreeing with him.
Victor Smith ★FL's Dad
Why not? Ariel will be best companion for Jason.
𝙅𝙖𝙨𝙤𝙣: But… we were talking about Anastasia…
Jason again interrupted and everyone went silent. Victor opened his mouth to say something but words didn't come out.
Jules Smith ★FL's Mom
Um.. She –
Jules was about to complete her sentence but a familiar voice got their attention. They turned around and saw Anastasia and Alora beside her. Both were wearing black dresses and looking like an icon.
Anastasia Smith ★FL
Dad. Mom.
Anastasia hugged her Dad and then her mom. Both were looking surprised to see her here.
Anastasia Smith ★FL
What? Aren't you all happy to see me? I know I told you all that I'll land tonight but isn't it good that I landed here early?"
Both Jules and Victor just smiled. Anastasia hugged her sister Ariel who was 8 years older than her.
Anastasia Smith ★FL
How are you, young lady?
Anastasia asked her teasingly. Ariel slightly smacks her head and Anastasia caresses her head.
Ariel Smith ★FL's sister
Always been a naughty girl.
Ariel said with a smile and Anastasia felt proud. Alora also greeted Smiths and stood beside Anastasia. Alora was Anastasia's bestie and her assistant in business.
Anastasia was the youngest daughter in Smith's family and also involved in her Dad's business. Ariel doesn't like to meet new people while Anastasia was a social butterfly.
She was a singer and a CEO of Smith's business. Her Dad Victor was a business tycoon and Anastasia will be the next owner of this company.
Mr. John and his son Jason were looking at Smiths and their meetup. Suddenly Jason approached Anastasia and took her hand in his. He placed a gentle kiss on her knuckles and then introduced himself.
𝙅𝙖𝙨𝙤𝙣: I'm Jason John. You remembered me, right?
Jason asked her with a smile and Anastasia took her hand back looking confused at him.
Anastasia Smith ★FL
Sorry but… I don't.
She broke his heart in a second and Ariel smiled. Before Anastasia could say anything, Alora pulled her aside.
Anastasia Smith ★FL
What happened?
Anastasia asked and Alora looked around.
Anastasia Smith ★FL
What is --
Alora Meldey ★FL's assistant
We want an investor for the company? I think I found him.
Alora interrupted and shut Anastasia up. She frowned at first then remembered about it. Then Anastasia asked her where he was?
Alora Meldey ★FL's assistant
On your right. The blue eyes one.
Alora guided her and Anastasia followed her lead then she saw those blue icy eyes. He was already looking at her. Anastasia's honey coloured eyes were fixed on those blue icy eyes.
Alora Meldey ★FL's assistant
He's Silas Romano, a business tycoon, he's new in this scene and a perfect target to catch.
Alora gave a small introduction of Silas but Anastasia didn't listen. She was just staring straight into the blue icy eyes of him. There was something in his eyes and they were sparkling for some reason.
He was also just staring at her honey coloured eyes and forgot to blink for a second. His grip on the glass of whiskey got loosened a little. He didn't see those eyes before.
Where Anastasia's heart skipped a beat, Silas felt himself lost somewhere in another world.
Seeing her in person for the first time made him feel his existence disappear like a smoke in the air somewhere. Everything became blurry and silent. Only those honey coloured eyes he can see.
