Raymond's POV

Will I ever have a day of peace?

No seriously, will my joy ever last? Everyday I manage to overcome something, something else pops up. When will it all end?

I have the Mafia League coming up..
Rhea is still unconscious...
Miami is nowhere to be found..
Arcebi is getting on my last fucking nerve...

And... Worse? We have a mole. A fucking mole on our midst.

I downed the spirit and shook from the bitter taste. Fuck, I hate alcohol.

I leaned on the balcony with my head in-between my palms

"I am so tired" I mumbled

"What's wrong hulk?" Monsieur Patrick asked from behind me

"Nothing" I grumbled standing up straight

"You were sulking like a bitch, something has to be wrong"

I looked at him angrily before moving into my room "I am alright"

Monsieur Patrick looked around my room before sitting down "It's about Rhea isn't it?"

"No" I answered too sudden

His lips lifted into a smirk and he picked a book from the shelf "Much Ado about nothing"

I looked at the book and back at him "It isn't mine"

He laughed "God, you will never change"

I took off my shirt and walked towards my closet "Do you want something?"

"No actually. I just came to talk"

I closed the wardrobe and sat down on my bed "Hm"

"Let's start with you"

I looked at him "Me?"

"Hm. How are you?"

When was the last time someone asked me that?

"I am surviving"

"It's not enough to survive. How do you feel?"

"I feel so empty" I said looking him in the eye "I feel dead. Everyone is just betraying me"

"Spill out to your hearts content" Monsieur Patrick said

"Why will my own sister do this to me? Why will she try to kill my wife? It doesn't make any sense. If she didn't like Rhea she should have told me but she never ever did..."

"And Rhea, Rhea is innocent. Rhea is ... Rhea is not even supposed to be here with me if not for her stupid father's mistakes... "

"Do I sense a bit of affection?" Monsieur Patrick asked

"Is it wrong?" I asked tears blurring my vision "because if it is, then I am way to deep in it to come out"

"Nothing is wrong with loving Rai, look at me, I am fucking in love with Margret so much that I can't even shout at her when she fucks up" he laughed "I am pussy whipped" he added

"We both are" Raymond said smiling at Monsieur Patrick

"So what's the next step boy?"

"Rhea doesn't like me" Raymond said flatly "and honestly I can't blame her"

"Rhea respects you..."

"No, fears. She fears me and I don't want that"

"That can't be changed hulk, she married you under unforseen circumstances, so, deal with"

I stood up and walked back to the corridor "I want to change for her"

"How?"

"When she wakes up, I want to show her a different side of me"

"The former Raimondo. The one who knows how to cook and wears big glasses..."

"Maybe" I chuckle

"How can I help?" Monsieur Patrick asked

I turned to him "Can I tell you something?"

"Hm"

"I love you."

Monsieur Patrick looked at me like I had grown two heads "You nuts?"

"No. I have wanted to say that for years now and there, I said it. For always supporting me and being with me through the good and bad. I love you and I really appreciate you"

Monsieur Patrick nodded "Back to business, how can I help you?"

"I will want the whole house to only me and Rhea for a few weeks"

Monsieur Patrick nodded "Alright. And it's Rhea and I not me and Rhea. Where did your English go?"

I chuckled softly

"I have sent men out" monsieur Patrick said

"To where?"

I do not remember giving such orders and worse in a time like this

"To look for Miami" he said his face void of emotion

"And what's the order?" I asked holding my breath

"Shoot on sight. She deserves no fair hearing"

I looked at him and before I could utter any word, he smirked and walked away.
