Lalighted in a hurry at the Godlike pack, Desmond and I rushing inside and bursting into the living room only to freeze at the
entrance.
My father was already seated, eyes fixed on the documents spread across the low table,
Across from him sat Mr. Gent, Desmond’s own father, the family lawyer and the underworld’s most feared legal mind.
Beta Sky stood beside my father, arms folded. Rosella, the underworld accountant, sat rigidly in a chair nearby, her sharp gaze tracking every movement.
I swallowed slowly and stepped forward. Desmond followed.
I bowed deeply in greeting.
Mr. Gent looked up at Desmond, his son but said nothing. This was business not pleasantries.
“Once I sign the documents,” my father said, voice calm and final, “you will sign yours too as the king of the Godlike mafia. The drugs will hit the streets soonest, latest by early next Year p>
I stepped forward quickly.
“Father, it’s too early p>
“Feroz has been caught,” Beta Sky argued, glaring up at me. “His freedom was your excuse, and now he’s caught. Even if he wasn’t, he’s nothing compared to what the mafia is. Why are you so against us selling the drugs? Why? Wait, don’t tell me you’re hoping to steal it for yourself p>
Silence slammed down on the entire living room. An accusation laid bare in broad daylight.
slowly turned to my father. His eyes remained fixed on the table. His word was the only one that mattered.
‘Father, trust me it’s better we wait a little longer. Until Feroz is in prison. He hasn’t gone to trial yet. He’s still very much able to break free. No silver shackles. No jail cell lined with silver to bind him. We don’t even know if he’ll be sentenced to death, which would be better. I suggest we wait p>
‘And what’s your reason?” Rosella’s voice cut in, sharp and probing.
turned slowly to her.
‘To be honest,” she continued, “you’ve started acting so suspicious. No wonder Luna Sash never liked you. ”
‘If you won’t lead the selling, fine,” Beta Sky added. “You’re the password to the vault where the drugs are. How about you open it and walk away? Hmm p>
I swallowed hard, staring at Beta Sky for a long moment.
Quietly, I turned to my uncle, Mr. Gent, Desmond’s father.
In our illegal world, we had always consulted the legal mind. Grant Frost had retired as a judge, but in rank and position, he stood

just below the man seated quietly before me now.
Mr. Gent knew the law inside out and how to twist it without breaking it. He had been a mafia man long before he met my aunt Bloom and married her. He was the only one whose advice my father truly listened to.
“Uncle…” I began.
Before I could finish, my father reached for the document and scrawled his signature across the bottom line.
He set the pen down and looked up.
“We can’t delay anymore, Cupid. You’ve taken too many free days already. You too, Desmond. How about you both go back to work p>
I stared at him for a long time.
He seemed brainwashed by Beta Sky. With my uncle’s presence, I knew he had already made up his mind.
Without choice, I nodded, stepped forward and signed my name beside his.
Just then my phone rang, piercing the tension.
I pulled it out.
Snow.
But with all eyes on me, I couldn’t walk out to answer.
I passed it to Desmond. He stepped away, murmuring an excuse as he left the room.
“You should start tonight,” Beta Sky said.
I looked up, glared, then turned to my father.
He nodded once.
“Tonight, son p>
I swallowed the lump in my throat and stood.
Quietly I bowed.
Then I walked out.
Rosella rushed after me.
“Cupid? Cupid p>
Her fingers wrapped around my arm.
I flung her hand off angrily.
She froze, stunned to see me so furious.

“The drugs are past due,” she insisted. “We can’t delay anymore, Cupid”

“Really? Fast due?” I took a step closer, staring down into her eyes. “I thought you were the brightest woman, but fuck, i was wrong. Just because Feroz is held at H.O.W.L. doesn’t mean he’s powerless. Just because he’s been silent about his stolen drugs all these weeks doesn’t mean he wasn’t looking for them p>
Silence fell between us so hard, so thick.
Then she stepped closer, pinning me with her gaze.
“What are you so afraid of?” she asked. I went still. “Or… on behalf of whom are you so terrified, Cupid p>
I frowned, confused.
“You’re bigger than Feroz in many ways… yet you’re scared. Why p>
The words sank into my veins.
And I knew.
“Because there’s a difference between us,” I said quietly. “I have loved ones to protect. I have weaknesses. Feroz doesn’t have one.
If any of my family members dies because of this… I swear to you, your father goes first. Then you p>
“He is… your father–in–law, ” she gritted out, shaking.
I stared down at her.
“You think I will marry a woman like you p>
Before she could speak, Desmond returned, handing me back my phone.
I took it and walked toward the car with him.
The night would be long no doubt.
“Call our men,” I ordered.
