The Caporegime of Cassano Famiglia was an invincible and vicious man. He was an intelligent and sharp-witted mafia boss. No one can outsmart the wise Capo. A lot of Italian Mafia were being careful on the Cassano Famiglia; they were afraid to become a fertilizer on a wide grape vineyard of the said famiglia. Thank goodness, the Cassano Famiglia stayed low after the war that was waged by the Gambino Famiglia. Of course, the latter was defeated by the former; it was the expected ending by the expectators.
Especially that the Gambino Famiglia made the Caporegime of Cassano Famiglia enraged. The reason for his anger was not yet discovered by the other Famiglias but rumor has it that the Gambino Famiglia involved and threatened a woman from the Cassano Famiglia. So, who was the woman? The rumor became the talk of the underworld, a lot of mafioso had different bets on who was the woman that became the root of the Cassano Famiglia Caporegime's wrath.
The majority says that it was the unknown Queen of the Cassano Famiglia. The godmother; the woman who stands by Capo's side. Because of that, a lot of mafioso became interested in the woman and decided to dig up some information but a lot of them failed. Some decided to stop digging for information; some dug their own grave; and some became a fertilizer to the grape vineyard.
Currently, the Cassano Famiglia is staying on an island and they were silent for a while. The island, which was named Pagliuzza, became their domain. No one can enter the island except for the Cassano Famiglia. There was an incident when someone tried to infiltrate the said island, but his attempt failed and he was now six feet under the ground. He failed to infiltrate the island and he failed to come back to his home.
Vincenzo Cassano was sitting on a royal purple sofa, his left hand was rubbing his temple while his right hand held the .44 Remington Magnum pistol he just used earlier. His right hand has bloodstains, indicating that he just finished someone off. Luca was standing in front of him, his hands were both on his side. He gulped when he saw Capo tightened his hold on the gun's grip.
"Dov'è lei?" Vincenzo asked in a low voice. Luca bowed his head, as a sign of submission.
"Mi dispiace, Capo. We didn't notice her escaping. We just saw the note on her bed telling that she will go back to Korea," Luca answered.
"Cazzo!-I told you that you should keep an eye on her. That woman-" Vincenzo can't help but sigh. He just came back from his gruesome work and he was expecting that that certain woman will just stay in the villa just like what he said. But he expected a lot from her when he knew how stubborn she was.
"Look for-"
He was interrupted when the door of his office suddenly burst open and someone came in.
"Bonjour! Bonjour-Oh, are you still busy?" The woman they were looking for, smiled and walked towards them. She was wearing a pastel pink suit and pants and underneath was a creamy satin top. She was carrying her Gancini top-handle bag of Salvatore Ferragamo that was given to her by Vincenzo Cassano. She was smiling brightly; it seemed like she was in a good mood. She looked at Luca and she waved her hand which Luca answered with a small smile.
"You can go," Vincenzo Cassano said to Luca but his gaze was focused on Hong Cha-young. Hong Cha-young encouragingly nodded towards Luca and for the second time, she waved her hand to him, saying her goodbye.
"Sì, Capo," Luca politely said. Once again, he smiled at Hong Cha-young and the latter just nodded her head. Luca walked outside of the room and he closed the door after he came out.
"Addioooo~" Hong Cha-young playfully said. Then she looked at Vincenzo Cassano.
Vincenzo was looking at her sternly. The whole room was enveloped with an awkward and heavy silence. It was awkward because Hong Cha-young was still smiling from ear to ear while Vincenzo Cassano's face was stern. Hong Cha-young liked the way Vincenzo was sitting comfortably on the sofa she personally chose but it was not the right time to admire him because she was currently in a difficult situation.
Well, it was difficult but she's confident that she can easily solve it. She knows how to find her way out of trouble, especially when it comes to Vincenzo Cassano. She skipped walking towards Vincenzo. He was still silently looking at her, waiting for her explanation. Hong Cha-young put her bag on the sofa and she sat beside him. Vincenzo Cassano moved slightly in order for her to sit. Well, the sofa has a large space but Hong Cha-young chose to sit on his left side; where there was a little space.
Well, that position was in favor with Hong Cha-young because she's close to him and it will help her to appease his anger.
It was Saturday morning and Hong Cha-young was alone in Vincenzo Cassano's office. She just finished reading the important documents of the business of Cassano and now, she was sitting on the royal purple sofa she personally bought, tapping her favorite bunny stick on her lap. She was bored. Bored was an understatement. She was staying for one week in Villa for her safety because Vincenzo had something to take care of and it was dangerous. She sighed when she remembered that it's been 2 years since she came here to Malta. Her life here was fun but she hated those other mafioso who wanted them dead. She hissed when she remembered the Gambino Famiglia.
'Ha. Serves them right. I should be the one who landed the final blow to them. Tsk. Bastards,' she thought. She looked around the office and her gaze landed on the car keys on the table of Vincenzo. She suddenly stood up when a sudden idea struck her mind.
She decided to escape and at the same time, pranked Vincenzo Cassano so she left a note saying that she left because she wanted to go back to South Korea. Obviously, she was just kidding but she knows that Vincenzo Cassano takes everything she said seriously.
And now, she ended up with this current situation. She smiled towards Vincenzo and squinted her eyes to add some cuteness. But then, it has no effect on Vincenzo. His face was still void of emotion. Cha-young cleared her throat.
"Darling," she said. She placed her right hand on Vincenzo's shoulder.
Vincenzo Cassano's hold on the gun's grip tightened. He still has bloodstains on his hand and he was worried that it might stain the beauty in front of her but he can't just leave her.
Ah, he should be angry and ask for an explanation. He should ask where Hong Cha-young went even though he clearly told her that she isn't allowed to go outside of the villa.
Hong Cha-young's right hand went up to his cheek and she cupped his face.
"Mi dispiace, tesoro," Hong Cha-young whispered to Vincenzo. He clearly heard it. Her voice was low but sweet; it was alluring and it sounds like she was whispering an invitation to him.
"You clearly know how to get out of trouble, cara mia," Vincenzo uttered. He didn't give her the chance to utter a word; he gently grabbed her nape using his left hand and pulled her towards him. His lips met hers and they shared an electrifying kiss. Vincenzo Cassano was still holding the gun in his right hand, afraid that Hong Cha-Young might be stained by the blood. Hong Cha-young caressed his cheek one more time before letting go of him.
"Yah, Monsieur Vincenzo Cassano. If I'm an assassin, you'll be lying dead on this sofa right now," she said and grinned.
"Sweetie, I'll surrender myself to you if you're an assassin," he said. They both softly laughed. Vincenzo Cassano caressed her soft and long hair and he tucked her loose hair behind her ear.
"Don't just go outside without Luca. I was worried sick, Cha-young ah. You know that it's dangerous to be alone." He was serious. He's sure that he will not know what to do if something happens to her. Maybe, he will burn down all of the Famiglia that were opposing them?
At first, he thought that bringing Hong Cha-young to Malta was not a good move. He will just endanger her. If something happens, she will surely lose her freedom because Vincenzo will not let her out of the Villa.
But now that she is here, Vincenzo Cassano was thankful for his decision. He no longer needs to return to South Korea for him to rest in his safe haven. He will just protect her with all his might because she belongs here; she belongs to his side.
"I'm sorry for escaping. I was just so bored and I decided to go out on my own even if I know that it's not safe." Hong Cha-young put her right hand on his lap.
"I'm also sorry for confining you here. I promise that we will go out after this. We can go to South Korea if you want," Vincenzo spoke softly. Cha-young sweetly smiled and nodded her head. She looked at Vincenzo's right hand.
"You're still holding your gun," she said as her gaze returned to Vincenzo's face.
"Hm. I just returned from work. I'll clean myself afterwards." Vincenzo Cassano chuckled when Hong Cha-young suddenly hugged him. She rubbed her face on his chest just like a kitten.
"Yah, Cha-young ah," Vincenzo rebuked her jokingly when Hong Cha-young sniffed him.
Hong Cha-young looked up and she smiled towards Vincenzo Cassano.
It's going to be a long night.
