The Mafia's ChroniclesBaekhyun made his way into the entrance of his mansion but stopped after entering his living room. He stood still as he looked at the whole room and a sad sigh left his throat.
He found himself getting scared to enter the place he once considered home, the place he once loved so much, the place that once welcomed him with the laughter of his dear wife Yumi.
The home that his most beloved Yumi would run out and hug him, welcoming him with a gentle but yet a love-filled kiss, a place that once welcomed him with the sweet scent of his wife Yumi, a place that always gave him a reason to smile.
Baekhyun made his way further into the house, and all he could hear was Yumi's laughter and voice filling the whole area of the mansion, but he knew too well the painful reality.
Baekhyun glanced at the wall clock, it was already past 9 at night.
Baekhyun let out a sad sigh and sat on the couch. He rested his head on the headset of the couch and closed his eyes.
It's been five years since the death of his dear wife Yumi, and ever since then, Baekhyun's life has become a living hell. He no longer has joy nor happiness. The only reason why Baekhyun still desires to live is because of his two children Jesse and Alice.
Emma was caught alone with her men and was arrested, then sentenced to life imprisonment due to her multiple crimes and murders.
Baekhyun heard about the news, and he was very much relieved. Although he wasn't even happy with his life anymore, he was only able to stay alive and active in his company so that he can give his children a bright future. Baekhyun has also quit his hard ruthless Mafia life and has suddenly grown so weak and helpless. He has become his own shadow and whenever he sees a gun anywhere or even on TV he becomes traumatized as he always recalls how Yumi was shot dead right in front of him, and there was nothing he could do to save him.
The death of his beloved has taken everything Baekhyun once called a happy home. He only works hard from morning till night with the aim of distracting himself from his reality.
Thanks to Irene and Wendy who never failed to take proper care of the children. They gave them the love they never got and tried their best to make the children happy, but Jesse who just turned seven years of age wasn't always the happy type. For some reason, he became a sad child and would always focus on his studies while his Five years old Alice was a happy and social type. She brought joy and happiness wherever she is and she always wants the people around her to be happy.
“Baekhyun you're home and you didn't bother to call or let me know, why?” Irene asked.
Ever since the incident, Irene, Sehun, and their son Sam who's currently 13 years old packed into Baekhyun's mansion. They couldn't leave him alone after what he has gone through
Baekhyun blinked his eyes open on hearing Irene's voice. He stared at Irene and sat up.
“I'm sorry Irene, but I was a bit carried away.” Baekhyun rubbed his temple in tiredness “How are the children?”
“They're sleeping, but Jesse is not getting any better. He's slowly becoming depressed and I can't help him out of that life.” Irene said before sitting closer to Baekhyun. She was also scared and worried about the little boy, and she needed someone to help out the child.
Baekhyun only sighed deeply and turned over to Irene. “You won't blame him you know, he was there when everything happened, and you know that he's a very smart and intelligent boy, so this is expected. But, don't worry, I will have a word with him, after all, he's my son and he's also the reason why I'm alive.”
“And what about Alice? Is she not your child as well?” Irene asked with a frown written all over her face.
“Alice.” Baekhyun smiled while staring into a blank space. “Alice is my daughter, my most precious Jewel, my life, and my everything. She's the picture of my Yumi and my heartbeat. I love her so much it breaks my heart"
“That's good. You can go and see the children while I set the dinner okay?”
“Okay.” Baekhyun nodded and got up from the couch and went straight to his children's room. Getting there, he pushed the door open and a smile appeared on his lips immediately. He slowly entered the room and walked over to his sleeping daughter who's currently whining in her sleep just exactly like Yumi.
Baekhyun caressed her hair and kissed her cheeks before whispering a “good night my shining star.”
He then walked over to Jesse’s bed and kissed his forehead before sitting closer to the boy.
Jesse felt his father's presence in the room, and he blinked his eyes open.
"Daddy when did you return?" A seven years old Jesse asked on seeing his father. He was happy and he immediately hugged the man.
“A few minutes ago son,” Baekhyun replied while caressing his hair. “Did you miss me?”
“Yes I did Dad, even Alice kept on asking me so many questions and at a point, I almost yelled at her, but I stopped myself, she's still a child,” Jesse said and pulled away from his father.
Baekhyun, on the other hand, observed his son closely, and he also notices that
