"You're a mafia boss," she uttered as he pulled her closer.
"Yup, boss of the Toffee Boys. Problem?" He said, still tasting her skin. He had a strong hold on her waist and back as his lips grazed the sensitive areas of her chest. She pushed him down on the bed and gave him a deep kiss.
"Not at all," she panted. After his clothes were fully off, she let him enter and leaned back. In all of the ecstasy, James almost missed the tattoo on Penelope's lower hip, a small girl holding a honey stick. On top of her head was the exact same black crown.
"F*ck," he thought before his mind fell back into bliss.

History: Bosses are not killed often. The last recorded kill of a Boss was in 1895 when Bartholomew Wright killed Cyndall Harwell for trying to have an affair with his wife on multiple occasions. Holly Eve, Bartholomew’s wife, assisted in the killing of Harwell and even crippled him before her husband lit him on fire while he was still alive. It would be listed in the documents as a cold and brutal kill. Little would they know their children would do so much more.

The day of war had come. As soon as dawn broke, every piece of Beatrice’s property around the world would be set aflame and workers would be slaughtered.
