RED’S CLAN***
Jade was on her way to her room when she saw Alex looking disturbed, he’s pacing round while he’s in deep thought.
“Is something disturbing you?” She asked as she approached him.
“Huh? Nothing” Alex quickly replied.
“Hmmm, that sounds like a lie” Jade raised her brow.
Alex’s phone rang and he quickly fished it out from his pocket, jade didn’t fail to see the caller ID saved as ‘my heartbeat’.
“My heartbeat?” She asked.
Alex quickly covered her mouth with his palm, while looking around hoping no one heard her.
Jade removed his hand from her mouth, staring at him.
“You have a girlfriend? I thought Mafia’s don’t have a lover or something like that” she muttered.
“It’s a long story, but can you please keep this a secret?” Alex asked.
“Sure, why not?”
His phone rang again and he quickly picked.
“Heartbeat, I’ve been calling you but you haven’t been picking my calls. Is everything okay? Do you want me to come over?” He asked in a rush.
Jade slowly shook her head as she stare at him, he must be deeply in love with his girlfriend.
“What are you saying babe?” She suddenly heard his voice cracking.
“Alex, this is for the best. Let’s end this relationship, it’s risky dating a Mafia and Yu don’t even have time for me. You’re always around your so called Boss. I’m sorry, this $h|t can’t work anymore, Bye Alex” Immediately the lady ended the call, the phone fell from Alex’s hand, shattering into pieces.
“WTF! What are you thinking that made you break your phone like this?” Jade shouted. She bent down and started picking the pieces together.
“She…. She broke up with me” Alex sniffs.
Jade raised her head to look at him.
“What?”
“She said she can’t date a Mafia”
Jade scoffed.
“Is she mad or something? Didn’t she know you were a Mafia when she was dating you?”
“I love her, I can’t do without her” Alex muttered, tears rolling down his cheeks.
Jade sighed and stood up, she walked to him.
“Do you want everyone to wonder why you’re in tears?” She asked.
“It hurts” Alex cries.
She pulled him to a hug, patting his back gently.
“It’ll be fine” she whispered.
Alex wrapped his arms around her, his tears wetting her shoulder.
Adriana was the only girl he had ever loved in his life, even when he knew how risky it was to fall in love with her, he still ended up falling for her.
She accepted him even when she was aware he was a Mafia, they’ve been dating for months now till she suddenly stopped having time for him.
She hardly text him and pick his calls, that action of hers worried him a lot, he couldn’t even stopped thinking about it.
Now that she finally decided to end it with him, he wasn’t sure he’s going to ever fall in love again.

FERNANDO’S ROOM***
After the hot make out, Fernando and Valerie laid together on the bed, with Fernando’s arm wrapped tightly around her.
“You smell nice” Fernando whispered, his nose is on her neck sniffing her scent.
“Stop doing that, it’s tickling” Valerie giggled as his hot breath fanned her neck.
Fernando chuckled.
“Ferdie, can you do me a favor please?” She asked.
“What is it?”
“Juan, Jade’s brother, can you let him continue his schooling here?” She asked.
“No” he replied almost immediately.
“Why?” She stares at him
“Can you do this just for me? And I promise not to be mad at you anymore” she pouts.
“I thought you have already forgiven me” Fernando stare at her amazingly.
“Well not completely” she clicked her tongue cutely.
“So… Can you do this for me?” She asked.
Fernando sighed.
“Please, please, please” she starts pecking his lips.
“Fine, fine” Fernando mumbled and she jumps on him.
“Thank you Ferdie, thank you so much! I love you!” She screamed.
Everywhere suddenly went silent after that.
Valerie raised her head to see him staring at her in shock. Did she actually utter that out??
“Erm…. That was a mistake, it’s a compliment tho” Valerie mumbled.
“It’s fine” Fernando said.
“Yea..” she bit her lips suddenly wishing to disappear away from the place at that moment.
“I… I need to tell Jade this news, she’ll be so happy about it… Yea,,, she will” she stuttered.
She tried to stand up from him but he placed his hand on her @zz making it impossible for her to do so.
“Not so fast” he claimed her lips in a deep kiss, his hands roaming around her body.
“Don’t love me, Val” he whispered against her lips.
Valerie broke the kiss to stare at him.
“Don’t…. Please” he begged.
“It was a mistake like I said earlier, I never meant it” she said.
“That’s good then” he kissed her again, this time deeper than the first.
Another round of hot make out began again with only one question hovering around in Valerie’s mind.
What does he mean by telling her not to love him??
****
“Are you sure you’re okay? You won’t act rashly?” Jade asked Alex when they got to his door.
“I won’t, thanks” Alex said.
“You should try and talk things out with her, you can’t keep on hurting yourself” She muttered.
Alex nods his head before entering his room, his eyes was already red as a result of excess crying.
He grabbed a bottle of liquor and gulped it down his throat. Tears kept pouring out of his eyes as he remembered the sweet moment he and Adriana had together. The kisses, the hug, the make outs, their late nights together.
“Why? Why did you do this to me?” He cries and continue drinking from the bottle.

Valerie was on her way to her room when she met Andres opposite her. She quickly turned and tried walking away, she was avoiding him but too bad he already saw her.
“Valerie!” She turned to him and forced a smile at him.
“Hi, Andres” she muttered.
“Andres? Not handsome anymore?” Andres asked.
“Where have you been? I haven’t seen you around since morning”
“Yea, I went to cool down my mind since you rejected me”
“I’m sorry about that” she muttered.
“No, it’s fine. Have you seen Fernando around?” He asked.
“Yea, he’s in his room” she replied.
“We really need to talk”
“Yea, you sure do or else I’m going to h@ťě myself” she said.
Andres smiled.
“You don’t have to. See you later” he said and walked away.
Valerie released a heavy breath immediately he was out of sight.
***
“Jade! I have a good news for you!” Valerie shouted when she got to Jade’s room.
“Good news? What’s the good news all about?” Jade asked.
“Well… I talked to Ferdie about Juan, and he already agreed for him to continue schooling here!!!” Valerie screamed.
“OMG! Are you for real?”
“Yes, at least you won’t be sad about that anymore”
“Aww, thank you Valerie. I really appreciate you”
“C’mon, it’s nothing” Valerie smiled.
“Juan will be so happy to hear this” Jade mumbled.
“Sure, he will” Valerie agreed.

FERNANDO’S ROOM***
“Why are you here?” Fernando asked Andres.
“Are you mad at me?” Andres asked.
“I’m not in the mood for $h|t right now, take your leave” Fernando said before going to the restroom.
“It won’t be long before you come crawling to my feet” Andres smirked.
