The Lovebirds(Low tier R-18)*

"Tesoro, you have got potential but not everyone can see it. I have a offer you can't decline, wanna hear?" Victor said as he tapped his finger on the table.

"Please Master Victor, you freed and saved Stella from slavery, I cannot repay this debt in this lifetime," Tesoro said gladly, even though he was beaten up badly he didn't feel any anger towards Victor's men.

'Friking Simp' Victor thought in his heart.

"I offer you a job as the Manager of the Casinos and Entertainment Department in Blacklight Organization and in return, you will own 5% of all the profits. It's a somewhat honest job with good profits and many executive benefits like housing and medical expenses. Your little lover will also be freed after a proper medical treatment and you can bring her home with you. What do you say, will you work for me?" Victor said as he spread his hand for a handshake.

"It'll be my honor, Master Victor! I will repay this debt with my life if need be." Tesoro swiftly held Victor's had and kissed it respectfully much to the former's surprise.

Tesoro's eyes were moist and filled with tears of overwhelming gratitude. He swore to himself that he wouldn't disappoint this good faith that Victor had shown to him. 

"As long as you are loyal, I'll treat you as my own family Tesoro," Victor said as he pat the shoulders of this crying bro.

Nico Robin sat inside the massive library of the huge Moriarty Mansion as she chomped on some desserts while reading books about neurology and mental health from the collection. She would occasionally note something down in her small notebook. She was sure that Victor had changed drastically after waking up from the coma.

First of all, he awakened his mutated Lunarian Bloodline which was a secret only she knew for now.

More importantly, his personality has done a complete flip, he was always in alert mode and observing every minute detail around him, similar to her.

Also, he has become very mature in his personality and sometimes a little intimidating like a predator. He has the similar aura of an experienced battle-hardened marine around him that didn't go unnoticed by the observant Nico Robin. She felt as if he was a different man sometimes, or was she thinking too much? She had no idea which bothered her a little.

"Miss Robin, are you thinking about your husband again?!!", The gossip queen maid Ruby teased as she served tea to Robin. She usually ships VictorXRobin from a distance but she couldn't resist initiating a conversation with the newlywed bride of this family.

"I...I am n..not thinking about him!!" Robin was surprised and flustered that someone had spoken with her in the mansion. Usually, only Mr. Hugh communicated with her regarding her requirements and wishes but the maids and workers usually didn't dare to approach her for a conversation.

"I can understand, you are very similar to Miss Lilly Moriarty, Victor's mother. She also used to spend most of her time in the library to read books and paint pictures." Ruby said with a giggle.

Robin suddenly became curious, "Umm, Ruby can you tell me about his childhood?"

"Hehe! I know the young master the best among the staff after Mr. Hugh, when his parents were alive he was such a happy child and his joyful laughter echoed in the halls of this huge mansion. Unfortunately, losing his parents at a young age had a huge impact on Young Master. He slowly turned into a rebellious prodigal but no one dared to reprimand the only heir to the Moriarty. No one outside the mansion understood that he was just a child seeking attention, at least no one dared to. Commoners like us and Master Victor belong to different worlds, we cannot bear to earn his friendship without being called greedy and whatnot. That's why I admire your courage Miss Robin and I am very thankful that Young Master met someone who he truly loves." Ruby said passionately as her eyes became a little moist as she remembered Miss Lilly, the beautiful young miss who suffered an untimely death.

'Hmph! I know he's still a prodigal bastard but he had learned to keep it a secret.' She was sure that Victor was anything but a man in love, that too with her. It's all fake, just like his personality.

"Young miss let me tell you an open secret, one of the maids saw your photo in Young Master's coat yesterday." She decided to become a snitch as she tried to make the ship sail faster.

Tesoro couldn't believe he was finally with his blonde Stella as the carriage moved towards their new home. He had a lot to say to her but when they finally met both sat silently while holding each other's hands. Tesoro's whole face was bandaged like a mummy but he still had a satisfied smile on his face, she's worth the world to him.

"Tesoro, Can you answer one thing truthfully?" Stella suddenly questioned.

"Stella, my love I will never dare lie to you."

"Did you join the criminal Mafia Family in order to save my life?" She asked worriedly.

"Stella!!!! You mustn't ever speak about Master Victor like that. He was the one who banned slavery in Blackrock islands and all of Moriarty's family territory, he's not like his grandfather. He's our savior and I did not join any criminal organization, I am now the manager of the Blacklight Casinos. We should not forget this debt as he granted us a new chance at a better life, together." Tesoro who would usually agree to everything she said suddenly refused her claims with passion. Hard work and honest living won't get you anywhere, he needed power so that he could protect his love, Stella, and help his savior with all his capabilities.

Stella was surprised when she learned the truth of the matter, when the human shop was raided, she felt very helpless thinking her time had come. She saw how Tesoro tried to save her but was violently beaten which made her very emotional, at least someone cared about her in this godforsaken world.

It also made her realize that she truly loved him dearly. At that moment of hopelessness, she vowed that even if she were sold to someone else her heart would belong only to Tesoro. All the slaves were taken to the town hall for medical treatment, food, and shelter until Tesoro arrived like a knight in shining armor in the carriage with Moriarty Family Insignia and took her away with him. On hearing that it was Victor Moriarty who was responsible for their rescue, her heart was filled with overwhelming gratitude for her benefactor. Her preconceived notions that all criminals were bad were suddenly reverted.

"Tesoro, I am sorry I misjudged and spoke ill of our benefactor. You should work diligently and never disappoint Master Victor. This debt, I'll bear it with you." She hugged Tesoro as she broke down into tears.

"I swore to repay this debt with my life Stella, now that you are free I am the happiest man in this world. I promise I will never let you down and earn a lot of money for you honestly. Stella, Will you marry me?" 

Stella was also emotionally overwhelmed after reuniting with the love of her life. She slowly snuggled up to Tesoro and gave him a sloppy kiss on his lips. The atmosphere in the carriage began to warm up as the two lovebirds couldn't get enough of each other when it suddenly came to a halt.

The driver spoke from outside, "Sir! We have arrived at your new home."

"Why don't we continue inside?" Tesoro the horn dog said suggestively as he held her hands.

"N..No.. We can't go above kisses until we get married first." Stella blushed and said shyly.

"Then why don't we kiss all night long?" Tesoro said with a smirk as he carried the blushing blondie and entered their new 3 BHK fully furnished apartment.

"I'm not an easy woman Tesoro, if you want it you have to earn it." She said teasingly as they explored their new home, wildly flirting with each other continuously like lovebirds. They chatted heartily till late at night as they cooked dinner and snuggled in each other's arms to sleep.

Meanwhile, Capone 'Gang' Bege, the wielder of Shiro Shiro no Mi(Castle Castle Fruit) and one of the leaders of the five families sat inside the meeting room with his subordinates. 

Bege is a short man with a stocky build whose appearance is somewhat similar to that of a Mafia boss. He sports an oiled-up and slicked-back hairstyle befitting that of a crime don. His facial features have a very stern look to them further accentuated by his rather sharp but hooking beak-like nose. He also has five o'clock stubble on his upper lip.

He wearing a black-and-white pinstriped attire, complete with a green scarf around his neck, with the excess tucked inside the suit. He was also wearing very expensive golden rings with precious stones mounted on them, but because Bege has two hands, all his fingers have them. He is often seen smoking a cigar, except when eating.

"What went wrong, how is that bastard still alive??" He fumed in anger as he smoked his cigar.
