ROBERT KING'S POV ( Arabella's Father)

I took a sip of my whiskey as its rich smoky flavour & woody aroma filled my sinuses. The acidulous liquid stings the back of my throat, righteously serving its purpose.

I stared off into the distance, my mind wandering to the thought of my sons.

I was overcome with a feeling of pride as I rejoiced in acknowledging my children's success and accomplishments.

Nothing beats seeing my sons mature into better versions of themselves.

I have raised my sons alone since my ex wife of a bitch, Cora left me, and I never bothered to look for her because, frankly, I didn't care.

I can't keep someone who doesn't want to stay.

She abandoned our family 15 years ago, when my oldest son was only 12 and my youngest was barely a year old. It was hard in the beginning— looking after my 7 sons along with managing the world's strongest mafia, but I never once complained.

My lips curved into a smirk as I acknowledged how powerful my sons had become.

We have many enemies because we are the strongest mafia in the world, and we had encountered a few setbacks over the years, but we always fought our way back to top.

There's always one ruler; and our reign has only just begun.

The shrill sound of a ringtone coming from my phone, jolted me out of my daze of thoughts.

I picked my phone from the desk and looked at the unknown calling ID of the caller.
