Catalyst drank from his liquor but he spit it away immediately, the sadness made it taste bitter.
Leenox wiped the small tear that’s just falling from his right eye.
Rosario was still crying like a baby when Mary’s lower lip suddenly moved…

TWO MONTHS LATER★
“What’s for dinner tonight?” Pierce asked, walking down the vaults with Hellcat.
She looked at him and smirked, but he smiled.
“All you think about is food” she said.
“And you” he replied, and she smiled shortly as they finally entered the cell room they’re going to.
Enzo and Mary Kay are there, looking like living ghosts, the whole room is smelly and the odour is unpleasant and poisonous
Enzo is blind, Mary Kay’s legs are gone…. Rosario cut her legs by himself.
Her skin kept getting worse, the venom gave it a snakelike look, and as she scratches frequently, the look deepens.
They’re like handicapped couples, and they receive hellish torture three times daily, their bodies is a home to big fresh and old wounds.
Pierce and Hellcat had to use masks when they came in, and they placed the trays of food in front of them.
It’s actually dogfood and the mixed urine of every member of the circle served as their water.
That’s what they’ve been taking everyday since two months ago.
They started eating the poisonous food hungrily, drinking urine like water as Hellcat rushed out of the room with Pierce.
“I almost died even with the mask” she breathed out.
“Same here trust me” Pierce replied, and they started walking out.
“Cat” he suddenly called.
“What again?” She replied.
“Let’s eat out tonight, just the two of us” he said, and she faced him.
“Get over yourself would you?” She said, and he smiled as she glared and started walking away.
“7pm ok?, 7!” He shouted after her, and she smiled secretly as she stepped out completely, inhaling softly.
She brought out the hairpin from her pocket and took a long look at it before throwing it away.
She left the spot, and Pierce rushed out, running after her.
Lush smiled from the front of the lab, she has been watching them.
“Maybe we’re really not destined to be lovers, but friends like family” she said, looking around the peaceful empire.
All the mobsters left already, only the circle members are left in the clan, and it looks totally different right now.
It’s not an empire, not a clan anymore, it’s a home.

KITCHEN**
“Lady Lave’re when will dinner be ready?, I’m really starving” Preet pouted, following Lave’re around the kitchen as she struggled to make dinner.
“Do you even thinking of anything than food?, You only share a face and name with Madonna, it ends there cus she’s not obsessed with food like you” Lave’re replied, rolling eyes at her.
“You’re making me miss her more, please make dinner faster, I can’t wait anymore!” Preet continued following her around.
“Someone get this pest out of this kitchen!” Lave’re shouted.
“At your service mum!” Knife replied, coming in with Pandora and Nightingale.
They both started dragging Preet out.
“Lady Lave’re it’s unfair!, I’m really hungry!”‘ she shouted as she was dragged.
Lave’re smiled and started with chopping the veggies.
Since Escobar’s death, she took over the kitchen, and she enjoys doing what he does.
It makes her feel like she’s close to him.
****
“I’m really hungry!” Preet kept shouting till the girls got to the front of the training arena.
“You’re an handful” Nightingale shook her head.
“Aww!, My Tingale!, Still can’t believe you changed!” Pandora said in a babyish way, hugging her.
“I love my new self baby” Nightingale replied.
“Come here let’s hug too” Knife said, hugging Preet.
“I love you” Preet said.
“I love you more baby” Knife replied.
“Is this a hugging competition or what?” Beryl said, appearing in their middle.
“Then should I join you to make the circle complete?” Hellcat said, appearing too.
“Come come come!” Beryl smiled, hugging her.
“Should we host a party tonight?” Preet suggested.
“For what?” Pandora rolled eyes.
“We’re all happy so…” Preet winked.
“You’re just impossible” Hellcat shook her head.
“Beryl have you seen Leenox?” Nightingale asked, and Beryl’s eyes widened.
“Did he come?”
“He’s currently with Pierce in the lab!” Lush replied, joining them.
“Gosh!, Why didn’t you tell me sooner!” Beryl said and rushed to the lab.
“Lover girl” Hellcat laughed.
“Catalyst didn’t…. come with him?” Knife asked slowly.
“He did” Lush replied.
“Excuse me then” Knife said and rushed to the lab too.
“Gosh, are they really in love?” Preet said.
“Isn’t it obvious?” Nightingale replied.
“Eish!, I’d rather eat than fall” Preet smirked and made her way back to the kitchen.
“Knife I have something to show you and Pandora” Lush said and pulled the two away.
“What should we do?” Nightingale faced Hellcat.
Hellcat smiled and brought out Aaron’s tape.
She pressed play, and immediately it started playing, Nightingale’s eyes widened.
“Where did you get this from!”
“Aaron’s apartment, you cursed Romanio like hell, wow!” Hellcat laughed.
“Please you can’t let him listen to this, he might not be a Mafia Lord anymore but his temper is still….
Nightingale hasn’t finished speaking when Hellcat threw down the tape and marched it with her boot, breaking it to smithereens.
“I have no intention to let him, but just get yourself a boyfriend instead of f_cking around like before” she said, and Nightingale smiled.
“I love you Cat!” She jumped on her, hugging her tightly.
“Hey you’re suffocating me” Hellcat giggled.
“But I’ve been wanting to ask this, what’s your real name?” Nightingale asked curiously.
“Hannah” Hellcat replied.
“Aww, mine is Nikki” Nightingale said, and they hugged again.
****
On her way to the kitchen, Preet bumped into someone, but she was too hungry to say sorry, so she continued her journey to the kitchen, but the person pulled her back by the hair.
“Ouuuuch!!!, Who the hell is…
“The hell?” Romanio’s voice said, and when she saw it’s really him, she scoffed.
“Let go of my hair Roman numeral!” She said.
“Say sorry first, and haven’t I told you to stop calling me Roman numeral?” Romanio replied.
“I’ll grab you where you won’t expect” she said.
“I get that I’m not a Lord anymore, but I’m older yunno” he replied, grabbing her hair tighter.
“Romanio f_ck you!!!!, My hair!!!!” She screamed.
“Just say sorry and you’ll be free” he replied, pulling her hair again.
Lave’re was already standing by the kitchen door, watching them with a smile on her face.
Romanio and Preet’s drama is always interesting to watch.
“Romanio I’m counting from one to three” she replied.
“After that what?” He replied, pulling again.
“One!!!” She screamed.
Another pulling.
“Two!!!!”
“Are you gonna ki|| me?” Romanio said, almost pulling her hair off her head.
“Three!!!!” She screamed, and before he could pull again, she grabbed his Ďïčk in his jean trousers, squeezing it in her palm.
“Holy Mary!!!” Romanio screamed
*****
MANCHESTER IN AMERICA**
A lady could be seen walking the hallway of an hospital, her heels making tap tap sounds with the floor till she opened the door to an office.
“Miss Preet Marcus, sorry for the long wait” the doctor on seat said, standing up to hand her an envelope.
“The results are out, and you’re finally balanced, I mean totally ok” he smiled, and Mary smiled brightly as she took the envelope.
“I don’t have to come for check up anymore?” She asked.
“No miss” he replied.
“Yes!” She gushed, leaving the office.
How she survived still remained unimaginable, an impossible miracle, but it happened.
After the deathday two months ago, the movements of her lips was followed by her fingers too, that prompted Rosario to take her to Lawrenceville.
After the bullets were removed, it was detected that a three days action poison is in her system, and it made her lose her baby already.
Yeah she was pregnant with baby Crescent when she took it, and the foetus absorbed most of it.
There was no antidote initially, but it only took twenty four hours for Lawrence to produce one.
After taking it, she became slightly stable on the third week, and she ran away from the hospital to fly here.
She has been here since then, receiving additional treatment every week.
She hasn’t seen Rosario since then, though she misses him madly, but she’s holding back.
She finally came out of the hospital and met Clyde waiting in front of it for her.
He has been in America with her since a month ago.
“Checkup finally over!” She shouted, walking faster to him.
“Really?” He replied, taking the envelope from her.
After checking it, his eyes widened.
“f_cking true!”
“I told you!” She replied, and he immediately hugged her.
“I’m glad” he said as she hugged him back lightly.
Rosario is in his car on the other side of the road, watching them.
He held the wheel tightly, his nails digging into it as he stared.
