start of a new era

Jianyu's phone rang and he answered to hear Cheung's voice. "sir we have a problem," he said. "Can't I have a day to get settled in?" Jianyu muttered. "Sorry boss," Cheung said. "What is it?"Jianyu asked frustrated. "Liu had a supporter. Someone who also wanted your father dead," Cheung said. "Hmmm! Who?" Jianyu asked. "Mr. Liang the master of the Liang family," Cheung said. "That bastard" Jianyu gritted. "When you are through with the activities concerning my father's death set up a meeting with Mr. Liang in his home" Jiangyu ordered and ended the call. "He actually thought forming an alliance with the Liu would affect me. He was wrong" Jianyu thought. He walked downstairs and sat down at the dining table with the closest members of this mafia. "Why were you with Veronica?" Olivia asked Jianyu immediately after he stepped into the kitchen. "Why am I ever with her?" he asked her. "To get in her pants" Feng joked and got a cautioning look from Olivia. "She is also part of the mafia. She shouldn't be sleeping with you. It could cause a rift " Olivia said. "Will you do it?" Jianyu asked Olivia. She was taken aback by his question. "What? How could you suggest that?" She asked. Feng laughed and Olivia threw a pancake at him. "See you won't sleep with me so let Veronica do what she does best," Jianyu said and ate a slice of pancake. Olivia dragged the plate of pancakes and stared at him. "Or will you prefer me sleeping around?" he asked her. "Well no," she said. "Exactly," Jianyu said and grabbed his plate of food back.

"Why not get a girlfriend? You're 21 already" Olivia suggested. "We're the mafia baby" Feng taunted. "So?" Olivia argued. "Feng has a point you know. I can't have a girlfriend, I don't want to drag an innocent girl into my world" Jianyu said. "Veronica remains the safest option," Jianyu said ending the discussion. "Feng use the kitchenware and stop playing with that knife" Olivia scolded. Feng stared at her as he twirled the red knife he was holding around the stack of pancakes. "Focus on Jianyu and leave me alone" "Bring me a cup of coffee," Jianyu said and left the dining table and went to his study. "I really don't like that Veronica" Olivia said voicing her opinions. "If you are so concerned, why not fuck him?" Feng said and the other men at the table laughed. "I should stab you with that stupid knife," Olivia said and left the dining with her plate of pancakes. Being the only girl in the group was annoying. She only had herself and her brother but he wasn't here. she sat on the kitchen counter and emptied her plate of pancakes.

Feng came into the kitchen with his plate and walked up to Olivia. "If you're so jealous of them," he said and parted her legs staying in between them. "We could start our own little relationship," he said and pulled her face closer to his. "I am not falling for this Feng" Olivia said and pushed his head away. "I thought you were jealous. Don't you want me?" he asked. "I don't want you and I am not jealous. Just worried. He is my brother's friend and my friend so I have his best interest at heart" She said and jumped down from the counter. She made Jianyu's coffee. She stirred the cup of black coffee and added a teaspoon of sugar and left the kitchen.

Knock! Knock! Olivia knocked and pushed the door slightly to see Jianyu sitting with a cigar in his hand. "You shouldn't be smoking so much," she said and pushed the door open as she walked in. "Why do you always caution me?' he asked as she walked in. "Shouldn't I care about you?" she asked and placed the cup of coffee on the table. "Thanks," he said, blew on the coffee, and took a sip. The burning sensation of the hot coffee and the caffeine rush gave him reformed energy. "You need to rest," she said. "Easy said than done. I need to prepare for the ball in three months. I have to prepare for my crown as the new don and I have my dad's funeral. A lot to do" he said and sipped from the coffee. "Cheung will assist you," she said. "I know but I am the new don so I have duties. The drugs and the police and everything" he sighed and drank from the coffee. "I will let you work," Olivia said and left him to his duties. The coffee was helping him calm down and also giving him newfound energy. He had been busy all morning and breakfast was delayed just because of him.

Jianyu walked to his door and locked it. It was time to work. He called people and started preparing for the formal ball. Another knock came from the door. Jianyu walked to the door and opened it to reveal Cheung. "He is in the morgue," he said and welcomed himself into the study. "Sad??" Cheung asked. "No. I am more angry than I am sad" Jianyu replied. "He just changed my life and now he is dead leaving me with all the duties," he said and punched the door. "Do you miss your old life?" Cheung asked. "Yes," Jianyu said and smirked. He remembered when he was 19 and access to clubs and places people his age couldn't get into. The time came to an end shortly but at least he had fun before he had to come back home and be taught to be a part of the mafia. "Do you miss the ladies or what?" Cheung asked. "I am the new mafia don. I have killed more people in two years than my father can imagine. I was feared even before I became the don. The girls are always going to be available. I just don't always enjoy the thrill of being the target" he said and sat in his chair. He turned to look out of the window "I would like to brighten up your mood. I have something to tell you…
