MAFIA KING’S REQUEST

"WHAT is it, Godfather?" Shari asked away. She didn't want to stay longer in this house because she had to be mindful of everything. Above all, Shari hated being monitored. The air around felt suffocating.

Luca glanced at Shari's companion. "Leave us, Gio. Shi and I will talk in private."

"Yes, boss!" Gio quickly turned and left them.

"Come, darling. Let's have a cup of tea." Luca sweetly guided her to the pool chair facing the overlooking view of the city. It was already golden hour, the sun had just set, and the colorful horizon came into view. The icy blast of the wind did not bother Luca, but he wore his white robe to be more presentable.

Shari sat and put her crutch on the side. There was a mini table between the two pool chairs, and Luca was seated on the other.

"If it's something physical, I need to recover first." Shari heaved a sigh.
