The Mafia's Redemption

Chapter 3

"Bang, bang!" is the sound of the gun that can be heard not far away. Damien had arrived at the scene and borrowed an MP5 from one of his men before he had fired it at the man that had run not far away. A flash of an evil scar had appeared in his eyes.

"Want a cigarette, boss?" one of his men handed to it to him but to their surprise, he shook his head.

"No, it's bad for Adelaide," he mentioned her name, and it was as if they heard him wrong. It was the first time they had heard him refuse a cigarette, especially when he had killed a person like that.

"O-okay..." they said and carefully put it in their pocket. It seems that their boss really fell in love this time. Will he settle down?

"Any news about Dominguez?" he asked and kicked the corpse of the pleading man in front of him. He was bathing in his own blood but he did not care.

"P-please, don't kill me! M-my wife is waiting for me at home!" he pleaded and tugged his slacks. He grinned at him.

"Be grateful that I am in a good mood today," he smiled and put the gun on his head.

"The youngest heir, Ezekiel Dominguez, has arrived today at the GP Airport," the assistant said, and his attention was caught by the struggling man.

"P-please..." he cried and pulled Damien's slacks.

"You know this will happen once you break the rules." he said, "You just reap what you sow," he said and slowly pulled up the trigger and pointed it at his head.

"Bang!"

That is the real Damien Luceria. He was sweet like a sly fox, but it was in his blood to be violent, and killed like it was nothing. At the young age of 18, he inherited their company and became the youngest billionaire of all time. He also managed the underworld. It is composed of many different clans, but he rises to the top.

The four clans that control it are: Luceria, Dominguez, McVille, and Cunningham. One word from them is what makes the underworld move. But it was total chaos when they fought.

AND things are not looking good between Luceria and Dominguez. That is because of a certain land, the GP Country. It was the most neutral country that they must not possess, but recently had been making moves to dominate it.

"The heir of the Dominguez, huh..." he said and chuckled, "That fool really had the nerves to come here to the GP Country." The men behind him were all silent and just watched him fire another round of bullets at the dead body.

Back to reality. His Point of View.

I opened my eyes and saw the cream-colored room. It was nice and cozy. I tried to move around and fell on the bed instead.

"Young Master!" the maid had rushed to me with a worried expression like I was so fragile. I had immediately stood up and fixed myself when he had assisted me, and some other maids. I don't remember hiring maids, and on top of that, their uniforms are like those on TV! Yes, those costumes.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" they constantly asked me and I felt like I was a child. I tried to raise my hand and they had all stopped, and the one close to me even closed his eyes.

"Wait, why are you so afraid?" I asked, because I didn't notice it the first thing in the morning but they looked awfully afraid of me. They were shaking and were very afraid to make any mistake, like if I was going to hit them.

"I-I'm sorry, Young Master! I deserve to be punished!" he said and trembled in my sight.

"Why do you keep calling me, Young Master?" I asked with a confused expression, "Is this one of Adelaide's pranks again? Where is she?" I asked and looked around with a soft expression. They were all confused at what I asked.

"Pardon us, Young Master?" the butler asked, "Who is Adelaide?"

I tilted my head because I was confused too. These are all luxurious things, and I bet one of the decorations here is very expensive. Me and Adelaide like to keep things simple and minimal.

"Adelaide, my fiance," I chuckled, "Where is she?" I asked because I had just too many of her pranks on me! I really need to punish her. Hmmn.

"But Young Master, Ms. Beatrice is your fiancee and not Adelaide," they told me.

"W-what?! But I am sure that---" I bit my lips. Something is terribly wrong here. "C-can you get me a mirror?" they had panicked and I panicked too. This is just terrible!

"Y-yes--" they moved fast and did not disappoint me, when I was able to get a mirror with a gold plate in my hand. But that is not what's important right now!

A gorgeous face that is not mine is what welcomed me. His radiant blue eyes and blonde hair are just insane.

"W-what is my name?" I asked and they looked more confused.

"It was Ezekiel Dominguez, the youngest Son of Lord Elias," the butler had said, "We are glad that you have regained your consciousness after coming here last night."

I was lost for words. Ezekiel, that troublemaker that is always in the news?! Have I become him?! What the hell is happening?

"What day is today?" I asked and bit my lips. I touched my face and looked at my arms. I know that I have a good body, but this one is just too flawless. What the hell?

"It's June 2025, young master," they answered. I trembled at that and it was just terrible.

"J-June 2025, you say..." I said and could not take it. "What happened to me, why am I here?!" I panicked and they did not know what to do with me at that moment.

It's too much for me to absorb what happened, but then I came to accept it. It seems that the original owner of this body, Ezekiel. I sighed and drank another glass of wine. This is too much information that I can't keep up with.

I am Sebastian Verlice. That is my real name! There is no way that this is my body! I am not him, I am not Ezekiel!

"If I kill myself right now... will I be able to come back to my own body?" I asked because my mind was hazy and was not able to remember anything. I looked at the silent garden before me while the moon was the only source of light. The lake is also beautiful from this angle. I positioned myself to jump.

"Do not jump," it was a cold voice that made me cold. I was about to jump when I heard that. Suddenly, flashes of memories came to my mind.

It was a loud environment with the excruciating pain that I felt when I had crashed into the truck. I tried my best to avoid it and I was too late. I see myself hanging on and fighting for my dear life. But it was my body that had given up and was taken by the darkness.

"I died..." I whispered and couldn't believe what happened. I lost my balance and sat on the floor with trembling hands.

"Yes," it was the cold voice again, and I felt like it was looking at me, but there was no one there, when a faint light appeared out of nowhere, "And because of the strong desire of your heart, you made it back to the world."

"W-what the hell are you?!" I asked and moved backwards, "What the hell are you saying?! Why would that happen? Adelaide... how is she?!" I continuously asked him because I am so confused right now and needed answers. I am lost for words and desperately need answers now.

"I am the God between life and death, Osiris," he said, "You are dead, but because of your strong desire to live, I gave you a second chance." he explained to me and I listened.

"So, I truly died back then..." he whispered silently and sighed.

"Yes,"

"Why am I in this body then? Is there a way that I can go back to my body?" I asked him. It was strange to talk without seeing the person. I looked around to see if there was a camera and a speaker but it seemed that there was none. This is really strange! All of it!

"You just have one rule and one mission to obey in this body, you cannot tell anyone that you came back to life. However, that body will not be yours forever. You need to find where the soul of Ezekiel is and have it rest forever or else, he will wander forever and that body will rot away. You have 24 months," God explained.

"W-what the hell?! 24 months?! How the hell will I find him in that short amount of time?" he asked, confused in a very confused expression.

"It's up to you. If you want to leave this world after 24 months, there is no problem." and I felt that God was messing up with me when I heard that.

"Well, then, see you..." God said, and the flickering light slowly vanished.

"W-wait! I still have a lot of things to ask you!" I tried to keep up with him but he just...

I sat on the floor and was not sure what to do anymore. I have a lot of things on my mind.

"Young master, what are you doing there?!" asked the guard when he was roaming around and saw me sitting on the terrace. I waved at him and smiled.

"Don't worry about me, I'm just getting some fresh air," I said and smiled at him, in which he still looked worried about that.

What am I going to do now? I was really... really...

But I need to find Adelaide first! I... We still have a chance, right?

I said when I dropped the invitation on the floor. My Adelaide is getting married to that bastard!

"Hah..."
