In a prison cell in Italy...
A young man with a red snake tattoo was playing arm wrestling with other criminals. That's when an officer told him he had received a package.
"Who sent the package? Is my old man dead?"
"No. It's from Mr. Allanach."
The tattooed man raised an eyebrow disapprovingly. The last ti Hades IV visited him was because the older man wanted him to get rid of Kaylee. Now the man sent a package? What did the old man want from him?
Can't he live in this prison quietly and peacefully? He was tired of dealing with his father or with Hades out there.
"You don't want to accept it?" asked the officer, realizing that Raffetto had not budged from his seat and was still playing arm wrestling with his friends. "He said you wouldn't regret it."
Raffetto won arm wrestling for the umpteenth ti while clicking his tongue in annoyance. "You ruined my mood," he grumbled as he rose to his feet and violently nudged the officer's body.
The only criminal who dared to fight the officers and guards in this place was only Raffetto.
This prison area was Raffeto's territory, and the Raffetto family has bought all the local police in this place. Raffetto's son stayed here because of his own doing and decided not to go out.
He would rather live in prison than live in his mansion above the sea.
After all, even if he gets out of prison, Hades III would figure out a way to put him back in jail. He almost killed his youngest daughter, after all.
Hades III was very vindictive and never allowed him to roam freely. Even though he's retired from Hades' organization, the man still has spies everywhere and bothers him.
Raffetto felt guilty, and he didn't mind the punishnt his forr ntor gave him. After all, no one would look for him at ho.
"What is it?"
A guard who received the package gave a small envelope to Raffetto, making the young man frown in confusion. He opened the envelope and took out its contents which was a photo.
The photo showed a black-haired girl walking side by side with a man.
He didn't know the man, but he knew the girl. The girl's appearance looked like Kaylee's, but… why did he feel like there was sothing else?
Raffetto marched to his cell to take the photo of Kaylee he had. He carefully compared the two pictures, and the more he looked at them, the more his brows furrowed.
Isn't this Roxy? Why did Allanach give him a photo of Roxy?
No. This wasn't the Roxy he knew.
Raffetto turned over the photo he had just received, and his jaw clenched as he read Hades IV's handwriting.
'Kaylee was on the plane, and Roxanne is alive.'
What is that about?
What does this writing an? Roxy still alive? And in this photo is… Roxy?
Raffetto turned the photo over to see the face of the girl in the image once again. The more he looked at it, the more he felt sure that the girl was Roxy.
Raffetto closed his eyes, and his mind drifted back to the night he was about to kill Kaylee.
He had co to the hospital not to kill her but to make sure Kaylee was doing well. He knew Kaylee's feelings for him, but he deliberately ignored her because he didn't want to bring Kaylee into his world.
All this ti, Raffetto viewed Kaylee as a weak, timid girl who liked to hide in corners. Plus, the matchmaking that his family planned was a cunning plan from his father to control Hades.
Master Raffetto wanted to use his wife and control Hades secretly by holding his wife hostage. That's why Raffetto didn't tell his father whom he wanted to marry.
Everyone already knows the sisters were Hades III's beloved daughter, and the older man loved them equally. It didn't matter which one he would marry.
He thought that Kaylee would not be able to beco his wife under his father's pressure. Although he could protect her, yet we are talking about his father. Nothing could match that man's cunning and hidden plans, but Roxy could.
That's why he didn't refuse when they set him up with Roxy. Neither did he accept it.
He planned to call it off at the last minute because he doesn't want to marry a girl he doesn't love. And yet… Roxy had already fled without even listening to his plan.
Well, it worked well for him because he didn't have to bother planning this wedding. But then…
Raffetto laid down and closed his eyes while rembering his last conversation with Kaylee.
"Zee, can I talk to you?"
"What?" he acted indifferently, but inside, he was happy that Kaylee approached him.
"I heard about the arranged marriage with Roxy."
"…"
"Are you going to accept it?"
"I plan to do so, but it seems your sister doesn't want to marry ."
"Then… how about ?"
Zee gave a sarcastic laugh, hearing that without the girl knowing, he felt like punching himself in the face for being an asshole. "You? Are you Roxy? You're not."
"Why should it be Roxy?
"Because I like her. She is like every guy's dream girl. Don't you think so?"
"What kind of a dream girl?"
"She's strong, quick-witted, and fun. She's likable, and I like her."
"So… with like this, you don't like at all?"
"No. I don't like weakling and crybaby."
"Then… why did you protect from those people and ensure my safety. Because I am the daughter of your ntor?"
"It was one of them. But the main reason is that you are Roxy's sister. I don't want her to be sad to see you hurt."
"…"
"If you have nothing more to say, I'll be leaving."
"Wait."
"What now?" Zee turned back while giving an irritated sigh even though he wasn't irritated at all.
"I'll bring her back."
His brow furrowed in confusion hearing this. He was about to ask furthermore, but the girl had turned away from him.
He didn't wish Roxy to co back at all because he didn't care about this matchmaking. But he didn't expect it that day to be his last eting with Kaylee.
No. At that ti, he didn't know. He thought Kaylee was still alive and wanted to make sure she was by going to the hospital.
But…
