The Mafia's Hidden Rose - Chapter 3
Hearing Roy's words, Alex's smile widens. He leans slightly towards Roy and says,<br />
<br />
"I'm starting to wonder if you're really the son of the Shark Tail leader. Someone who doesn't even know not to tell your kidnapper before trying to escape becomes alert! And don't even try to escape from here. First, you won't be able to. There are CCTV cameras all over this house! Second, if I find out, you'll have no one to blame but yourself, because I don't tolerate betrayal."<br />
<br />
Having said this, Alex untied Roy's hands from the belt, freeing him, and locked the door of that room. He then returned to the veranda.<br />
<br />
But just then, he saw a woman on the balcony of the upper floor. Upon seeing her, a smile vanished from his face for a moment.<br />
<br />
The lady was looking at Alex with surprise. She was wearing a white nightgown. She was probably around 45 years old, but looked about 30 or 32. Even at this age, she had maintained her beauty along with her figure and body. With her open blonde hair and fair skin, the woman rested her hands on the balcony railing, watching only Alex. When Alex looked at her, she put her hands on her waist, looked down, and shook her head in surrender.<br />
<br />
Because that woman was none other than Alex's mother, whose name was Christine. And Alex used her name as his surname.<br />
<br />
A little later, Alex was sitting in a room with his mother. She poured a drink into a glass with her own hands and offered it to Alex.<br />
<br />
Alex took the glass and asked, "You're still awake, Mom?"<br />
<br />
"It's three in the morning, Alex! If a mother's son is out this late, she'll obviously worry, won't she? How can she sleep peacefully? I don't even remember the last time I slept peacefully," his mother said.<br />
<br />
"I understand, Mom! You worry about me, but you don't need to compromise your sleep and health because of me. I'm capable of managing the business alone now, so you really need to get your beauty sleep," Alex said.<br />
<br />
"What will I do with beauty at this age, Alex? It's your age now to pay attention to yourself. And also, to think about your life! Are you thinking of living alone your whole life, just like me? You're old enough to get married. You need to focus on yourself now," his mother said.<br />
<br />
"I think some wrong women have joined your kitty party, which is why you're talking about my marriage now. This is not the age for my marriage, but for taking care of my family, my mom, and my siblings' lives," Alex said.<br />
<br />
"If this continues, you'll waste all your time and your youth! But if you allow me, I can help you choose your partner. Tell me what kind of partner you want. Perhaps I can find someone for your lonely life and this deserted heart, someone who can help you relax when you come back tired at night," his mother said.<br />
<br />
Hearing his mother's words, a smile returned to Alex's face, and he said, "You don't need to worry about me so much, Mom. You already know what my preferences are. You know very well that I'm a little different from others. And the kind of love partner I want, I probably won't find in this world. So, it's better you don't waste your energy by trying too hard."<br />
<br />
"Alright, then I won't find a partner for you! You find one for me if you have time. Find me a boyfriend," his mother said jokingly.<br />
<br />
"Seriously? You want a boyfriend?" Alex asked, laughing.<br />
<br />
"What happened? Why are you so shocked? You were just telling me to take care of my beauty, and you're not looking for a partner for yourself, so find one for me! At least my remaining beauty will be put to good use," his mother said again.<br />
<br />
Hearing his mother's words, Alex burst out laughing and shook his head, saying, "Okay, Mom, I'll try my best to find you an excellent love partner, someone who can take good care of you and give you all the happiness you've lost despite deserving it."<br />
<br />
Hearing Alex's words, a smile vanished from his mother's face for a moment, and she said, "You are not my biological son, Alex! I adopted you. Even after that, you care about me so much! My constant wish will be to have you as my biological son in the next life."<br />
<br />
"Why are you saying things like that, Mom, that I'm not your biological son? Have I never loved you like a real mother? Then what is the reason for your complaint?" Alex asked.<br />
<br />
"This is not a complaint, Alex, it's called guilt. I have always considered you my son, but somewhere I was selfish. I always kept my biological son away from risk, and involved you in all this. Now you have to face death every day, and you have to work until so late at night," his mother said.<br />
