(Fransisca Fernandez)

***

The boiling hot water began pouring over slaiy's body. The pain he felt was indescribable, but that was until the electric wires were turned on. Slaiy felt an excruciating pain. He let out a heart wrenching growl. Never in his seven years life with Jax did he ever imagined being in this condition. He had always tortured the betrayals of the clan but he never expected that one day, he'd betray him, and be tortured to the point of begging for death.

"He has my wife and son," he groaned. Jax just raised his brows as if he didn't understand what slaiy just said.. "I know I promised to let go. I promised not to take your path but i love her so much and she is pregnant with my son" Slaiy tried to explain. "oh!" Jax shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. "I promise to give you a name if you give me your words, not to hurt my woman and child" He negotiate, already knowing his fate. Jax's expression turned chilly. Whoever unfortunately set foot in this torture room never get to see the light of the sun. Not just that person, but their entire family. This is mainly to prevent Trouble in the future.

Now that slaiy is asking for his word, knowing fully well he always takes his promise serious, jax felt angry. "please... For the sake of old friendship" slaiy desperately pleaded. "say the name" Jax ordered giving in to Slaiy's demands. He didn't have time to waste on the traitor in front of him. Slaiy sighed in relief, "Domínguez fernândo of Italíàn dé Underworld"

Bang!! Straight to the skull, the shackles were undone and Slaiy fell, lifeless to the ground with an appreciative smile. for he knew that today, he had created a history, to be the first to be granted death within few hours of endless torture, in this black torture room. Jax emotionlessly stared at the lifeless body of a man he spent almost seven years with. He is dead, all for a woman. He should have known from the beginning when he found out about slaiy's relationship with the weak and pretentious lady. If only he had eliminated her before now, this won't have happened.

And what about him, there is always an option of coming to him. Why didn't he inform him that they took his heavily pregnant wife? wife? Is it actually because He had secretly gotten married to the same lady he forbade him from seeing and went as far as impregnating the lady? Diana... Jax frowned, thinking about some certain lady named Dysha. sigh... He should have known that D stands for Danger. And now, D stands for Death. "Pathetic!!" Jax mumbled. "Domínguez fernândo of italíàn dé underworld" he chanted.

It looks like it's been a while since he personally went out for a mission. Some people are already overconfident in their desire to conquer and overthrow his power in the underworld. Thinking about his stolen shipment of diamonds, arms and drugs, which has been estimated to be worth more than 150 billion USD, Jax frowned, taking off the blood stained gloves and coat. "It's time for the king to make an appearance" he mumbled before walking out.

JAX OFFICE.

Ryder excitedly sauntered inside the jax office. He waved his tablet at jax. "We have quite some potential fighters this time around," He grinned. "oh! That can't be the reason why you're so excited right?" Jax asked,Eyes not leaving the documents he is reading. "nope! You are right. I just found a lady with the name Lilian Keller. She signed up for the match with the junior assassin of the clan. So I investigated her background and guess what, she's also a badass. Should I also invite her to have a match with the other two pretty boys?" He asked. "do as you please" Jax shrugged.

"oh of course i'm going.... You mean what?" Ryder questioned in shock not believing Jax could ever be kind enough to let him do as he pleased, especially in the absence of his brother. "don't tell me you've gone deaf" Jax snorted. "nope. But I don't expect you to be so kind.." Ryder paused. He took careful steps toward jax.

His expression gets stiff and stiffer, seeing what Jax is watching on his laptop. "What do you think about these girls??" Jax asked. "Cool, so cool... But why do I feel like they look familiar?" Ryder said, contemplating whether he had seen the girls in the video somewhere. Jax smirked, leaning against the backrest of his chair...

"why don't you solve the puzzle yourself?"

A bulb seems to have snapped on in his head. His mouth and eyes widened. Jax chuckled in amusement.

"it's them indeed..."

PENNSYLVANIA, PHILADELPHIA.

FERNANDEZ'S DEN

Heck!, I don't want to understand what is going on right now. An adult human crawling like an infant baby?. Growing up in the Mafia world has opened my eyes to a lot of things. A lot of cheap tricks that even you won't have expected. And my gut feeling tells me this is gonna be one among the tricks that's gonna be played on me.

But the funniest of all is that, I'm excited. I can't wait to see what kind of tricks she has up her sleeves. I want to know what this young lady is up to. I'm really intrigued. Although she knows well how to act like a little innocent lamb, As the Mafia Lord and founder of the largest Mafia Clan, in the State, It will be a joke of me if I don't know the difference between innocence and blood lust. She wants my blood. She wants me dead and I can't wait to see how she does it. It's been a while since I last met a lady that is confident enough to challenge me and I'm looking forward to how interesting it shall be.

She Crawled hastily towards me, stuttering in plea. "What? You want me to bring you along?" I asked and she nodded frantically. "Well, come fast, I don't have much time. Like I said before. This entire place will blow up in approximately fifteen minutes and two seconds" I reminded, checking my watch.

"Go to hell, trash!"She Screeched, Standing up on her feet and then bringing out a gold pistol from her pants pocket. "Not acting as a damsel in distress any more?" I teased and She snorted. "Fernandez will be out of Pennsylvania in approximately ten minutes. I'll remain her to stop you till then" She smirked. I gritted my teeth Inwardly. Gosh.. I got the wrong man. Paul was playing with me all long. He was protecting the real gem.

How come I didn't figure this out? It seems I'm getting more and more distracted from work. I snarled and she quirked her brows. "My men are situated at every exit point in Pennsylvania" Ohh Gosh.. I'm giving myself out again.

My eyes widened as I suddenly recalled something.

FLASH BACK

" Are these all the details about Fernandez?" I asked Diego, going through the file he just brought. "Yes, boss. Fernandez has a twenty two year old daughter who is currently studying human psychology In Australia. Although it is not included in the report, it is said that she could do anything in order to experience her father's love even if she's asked to lay down her life. Boss, believe me, She's a very crazy person that can manipulate human thinking" Diego explained. "Ohh, what's her name then?" I asked. "Francisca Fernandez '' Diego replied.

END OF FLASHBACK

I smirked, staring at the lady pointing a gun at me. "Francisca Fernandez, laying your life for the life of the Father who will never accept you as his daughter huh? Why don't you win me.. I'll give you a chance to live.." I challenged, bringing out the Lupara from the pocket of my windbreaker and pointing it at her head.

She staggered back in fright and shock could be seen all over her face..
