Molly was in a daze as she stared at the car that was speeding towards her that she had forgotten to react. Suddenly, her pupils dilated in shock.

The car screeched to a halt.

The sound of the brakes were extra loud and shrill in the cloudy early morning. Frozen in shock, Molly glared at the car in front of her as she gasped for air. Due to the reflection of the windshield glass, she couldn't clearly see who was inside the car. She gradually lowered her head as her heart beat rapidly. She could see how little the distance was between the car and her body. If the driver hadn't stopped in time, she would have been run over.

The car door flew open and someone with a different kind of atmosphere, who walked towards Molly, stepped out. Molly's eyes were still fixed on how close the car was to her body completely oblivious to the person who had just stood right next to her. Although this wasn't Molly's first life and death experience—this was different because she actually felt that death had almost lingered over her and she wasn't able to do anything about it.

"Molly," Eric said easily as he leaned against the hood of his car with his arms folded across his chest. His eyes glinted slyly. "Don't you know better than to avoid cars running towards you?" he said easily.

Molly raised her head slowly at the sound of his voice. At first, Molly felt immobilized at the sight of Eric then she felt a wave of anger surge over her. As if her brain willed her to do it, she punched him before she could even stop herself.

"Ouch!" Eric coiled slightly with a pained expression on his face, his hands covering his stomach.

Their relationship changes overnight. She tries to keep her distance from him, while he comes closer and closer.

“Never rush in a relationship,” she says calmly.

"Hmm," Brian mumbled as he headed downstairs. He quickly glanced at the breakfast that was laid out on the table, untouched then he withdrew his sight. "They're going to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his retirement from the underworld next week, so I might have to talk to him either way," Brian said.

"Oh," Wing said, pursing her lips, without making any comment. She'd never been involved in matters such as those because it was not likely that Richie or Brian would allow her to. It looked crazy on the surface that Wing was so pure and innocent while Richie and Brian were the opposite—involved in sketchy dealings, sometimes even had blood on their hands. Whenever she thought of this, she felt nothing but empathy for them. She felt sorry for both Richie and Brian and the woman who had showed nothing but love for Wing since she could remember.

Wing subconsciously looked at Shirley who was shouting at Richie before promptly walking out. Wing smiled, "Okay, you can come with me. Bye, see you then."

"See you," Brian said as he got in his car. "Tony, Grand Night Casino," he said simply.

"Yes sir," Tony answered, and then started the car and headed to the Grand Night Casino.
