So she let him in after hearing to his merciful pleads and helped him to hide. Then she warned him to be vigilant and only after carefully inspecting the surrounding, she bid Elbert a streak of luck and disappeared into the brume. Elbert was blinded by her hypnotizing eyes and captivating beauty. He was so caught up with everything happening in such a sudden swiftness that before he could realize, Miss Catherine was gone.

That was 7 years from now and Elbert has grown up to be a man. He was no longer reckless. He didn't run for his life anymore, didn't steal petty money from rich pockets or pay prostitutes. All of those came to him whenever he wished for . Being a gangster was pretty much indeed. All the food, Jewels, riches, women, luxury came to him on its own when he would ask for them.

But all that he ever wished for was Catherine. And he didn't even know her surname. In countless prayers, in churches, wherever they prayed , he prayed for her; everyday and every night.

He had countless dreams of their meeting. He saw her in red and black. Those innocent rich eyes blushing under the long eye lashes; blinking heavily. Oh how she would try to escape his grip ! Her cheeks a shade of deeper purple. He thought she was so perfect for him only if he could meet her once. He will make her his own. He had all the women to himself and not the woman he wanted.

She came closer. With every step she that took forward, he felt his breath became heavy. He feared he might suffocate her but he was suffocating in his own thoughts instead. The world to him came and halted near a dead end.
