Blaze's POV
Flashback:
"C'mon Blaze you've gotta be faster son" Dad yelled as I saw a dagger coming my way.
I ducked the dagger and quickly rolled on the floor as I took my dagger out and aimed it towards dad as he caught it. I wanted to learn how to catch daggers and not duck them, that was something dad was expert in.
Dad slowly came towards me.
"You're doing fair enough, but you have to keep working, no breaks Blaze." Dad said.
"Yes dad" I said calmly.
The only person I ever looked up to while growing up was dad, dad was the only person who I believed actually loved and cared for me for the past 9 years.
Mom was always been busy with the house work. She did try making time for me but our timings never really matched.
As for my sister Flora, she was quite literally my opposite. Bubbly, sweet, kind and always happy. She never wanted to take over the mafia and that's the reason I was being trained.
I loved fu though, she always had my back. She has always been there for me, but what me and dad shared was different. Dad was like my only friend. Dad was the one person I cared the most about.
I was snapped out of my daze as dad's phone rang.
"Yes Nick?" Dad asked.
Uncle Nick was dad's most trusted man.
"Alright. We'll be there" He hung up.
"I've got a drug deal to do with the Mexicans, you can continue with the gun practice" Dad said and was about to leave.
"Dad, even I want to come" I said.
"Your mother won't like it" Dad retorted.
"I don't care. I want to come" I shot back.
Dad sighed and nodded as I walked behind him. We entered the house and saw Mom cooking while fu was studying in the living room. Fu was 5 years older to me.
"I have a drug deal with the Mexicans, will be leaving." Dad announced.
Mom came out.
"Oh? How long will it take?" She asked.
"No idea love. I'll keep you updated" Dad gave a forehead kiss to my mom and was headed upstairs to their room.
"Oh and Blaze is coming with me" He announced.
"Andrew, Blaze is too small to attend drug deals. Keep my son out of it as of now" Mom said worried.
"Amelia, he'll have to take over sooner or later it's better if he starts experiencing" Dad tried to reason.
"But he's too small, this can wait" Mom said.
"No mom, I'm going and it's final" I concluded and left as dad came down in his suit.

We had reached the second HQ which dad had built majorly for such deals he never wanted people coming to the original HQ.
We entered and soon the meeting began. I was mostly just observing the Mexicans and their style of dealing. I know I was too young but dad always said 'the earlier you learn the better'. Dad had gotten another call in between so he excused himself.
We waited patiently for good 15 minutes but dad still didn't come. I left the meeting room to go check when I saw him talking to a...little girl?
I started walking towards them and saw a girl who was about my age. She had mid-length brunette hair, big brown eyes and soft lips. She looked so cute in her blue jeans and red top.
"Aren't you one brave girl?" Dad asked.
"That I am mister" She said proudly.
Damn. She was so confident.
Why is she at such a dangerous place though? More importantly how did she even come inside?
"Dad" I called.
Dad turned around to me and said.
"I was about to come inside. Let's go" Dad said as he said bye to the girl and left but I just stood there. I couldn't help but stare in her brown eyes they were so beautiful.
"Um, hi" She said.
I kept my cold face.
"Who let you in?" I asked harshly.
"My Dad was here to deliver your dad a parcel" She explained.
That's how she's here!
"You shouldn't be roaming around alone this place is dangerous" I warned her.
"No, it's not." She said.
"Whatever your name is, leave" I ordered.
"1. It's Olivia
2. Mom says we should be nice to others, you can be nicer too." Damn.
Before I could reply there were gunshots everywhere. Fuck.
"We're under attack" I heard someone yell.
Fucking Mexicans.
I looked at her and she didn't look the slightest bit scared.
"Olivia I need you to leave, now" I said.
"No, I wanna stay" she whined.
Did she not hear the gun fire? Or is she dumb?
"OLIVIA LEAVE" I yelled.
She didn't budge.
I pulled her by the arm and took her to the door as I instructed her how to get out.
She sighed and started running, but the minute she closed the door it blasted. Bomb.
I didn't know if she crossed it or not. I couldn't help but scream.
End of flashback.
"NO!" I jerked up.
I was sweating as I saw Olivia jerking up too.
"Blaze? Are you okay?" She asked worriedly.
I saw her next to me and immediately took her face in my palms and pressed our foreheads together as I convinced myself she's okay, she's alive, she made it out that day.
"Blaze! Blazeeee! BLAZE" she snapped me out of my daze.
I saw her worried expression.
"What happened?" she asked.
"Nothing, go back to sleep" I asked as I took my t-shirt off.
I caught her staring at my abs but didn't say anything as I was still recovering from my dream.
I lied down on my side but Olivia was still intently staring at me.
"Sleep Olivia" I said as I switched off the lights.
I heard her sigh and she finally lied down.
My nightmares have been never ending. Most of the time it's about how Dad died. I've lost sleep because of that nightmare. I avoid sleeping so that I don't get nightmares but from the time she has come into the house for some weird reason I can sleep soundly, with her next to me, it becomes easier to sleep.
Today when she pricked herself with the glass I got so pissed. She doesn't need to do these things but no, she has to. I know getting mad at her while she was only trying to ease my pain by asking me what was wrong was wrong. I should've told her.
But how? How do I tell her? How do I tell her that the guy my sister got married to is the same guy who's murdered our father. How do I tell her that my sister is dead for me. How do I tell her my mom still talks to my sister even though she knows that her daughter married her own husbands killers son. How do I tell her my own family hates me to no extent because I continued the legacy of this mafia after dad's death, because that was his last wish. How do I tell her the guy who my sister married was once my bestfriend, hell I even considered him as my brother. How do I fucking tell her that I'm a fucking monster.
I can't.
I had usually left for work in the morning when mom called me saying she wants to meet. I immediately headed over to her house when I saw fu and Carter. My blood started boiling, all I ever wanted to do was shoot Carter and burn him to death. Mom had called me and her to talk about some property. I made myself clear I wanted no hand in whatever property dad and her had put in both our names. I had made enough money to have properties of my own she can have all she wants. Fu started crying. As if she thinks that will work. She kept saying for me to listen to her for once and talk to her because I was her brother and it hurts her to be away from me. It didn't hurt her while marrying that bastard like hell it's hurting her now. I asked her to stay the fuck away from me when Carter interrupted. Him and me got into a heated argument and things led to us almost shooting each other while all my sister did was ask me to shut up. My mom didn't have much to say either, she just asked me to calm down and listen to fu. Of course I left after that. I was beyond pissed and I knew booze was the only way out.
I saw the angel next to me now peacefully sleeping. The moonlight was shining on her face and it made her look prettier.
I wonder how long before she finally decides to go against me and the mafia and leave once and for all.
I tried to push the thoughts away and waited for the sun to rise as I saw the girl next to me.

I had left later in the morning to come to Knight and co-operation as I have to show people I'm just a normal business man and not a mob boss. However, this business was as good as real to me, I was equally focused in this. I was there till afternoon and left for the HQ later. As I reached the HQ Tyberias informed me about how Olivia dealt with the Mexicans yesterday.
I was impressed, hell she even daggered some guy and threatened him. Lopez might've pissed in his pants.
She called off the entire deal. I didn't really mind as I was planning to get rid of them anyway.
It was almost 6 as the sun had begun to set. The elevator to my floor dinged open as I saw Olivia entering wearing a black full sleeved one piece and white sneakers. She walked towards my cabin and came inside.
"I wanted to talk" She said.
"Talk" I said.
She took a deep breath and said
"I want Danica to be a part of the mafia too" so that's why she's here.
"And why should I include a complete stranger in my mafia" I retorted.
"She isn't a stranger. She's my bestfriend and an assassin too. I need her here, you have your entire core team I need someone from my side too" She explained.
"I don't see why would you need anyone" I said
"Because Blaze you have an entire core team I need someone too. They're all really nice but I still want Danica" She kept her tone confident.
"Fine, but on one condition" I said.
"What condition?"
"I have a party to attend. The Sicilian Mafia's Mob is retiring and his son is taking over, he's kept a party and I need a date. You need to be my date and come." I kept my condition.
"Why can't you take one of your whores? I'm pretty sure they're dying to go with you" she tried to reason.
"Olivia, are you coming or not?" I questioned.
She left a frustrated groan.
"Fine, I'll come" she said.
"Be ready by 7pm." She nodded and left.

I was ready and was waiting for Olivia to come downstairs so we could leave.
After good 20 minutes I heard the clicking of heels as I saw her coming down in a red satin gown which had straps on both side and hugged all her curves on the right place.
Fuck, I should've chosen her dress this is too revealing.
The minute she stepped down I wanted to push her hard against the wall and smash my lips to hers. She had left her hair open and loosely curled as she did minimal makeup and had dark red lipstick.
"Change" I ordered.
"I'm sorry, what?" she asked.
"Change Olivia, this dress is too revealing" I said.
"That's your problem, I like it, I'm not changing. Maybe if you males can keep your dicks to yourself and not look to shove it in every females pussy y'all will not find it revealing. I will wear this end of discussion." She said and left as I had no choice but follow her.
I tried not to snap or anything the whole ride but trust me she was testing my self control right now.
We soon reached the party and were about to get down as I locked both the doors.
She turned to me.
"What now Blaze?" She asked annoyed.
"Do not leave my side. Avoid talking to the females in there most of them are just women these men fuck around with. Do not let any man touch you. I will introduce you to some females of the TBM, they're trust worthy." I ended as she sighed and nodded and we got out of the car.
This is going to be one long night.
Y'all I missed Blaze's subconscious here🥺😩
Also, our fav bitch D is coming back *hair flip*
