Mafia Vengeance novel Chapter 53

Andrew spoke up. "My mom was the most beautiful woman, she was just like an Angel so pure and kind-hearted. She always thought me to be helping and kind. She loved my father so much. My father wasn't a rich man, he was a middle class man, but he was really handsome. He was the strong pillar of our beautiful family. He thought me what hard work is. My father loved my mom so much, they both fell in love during their college period. They studied in the same college. They both were my life."

He smiled remembering them.

"It was my birthday when he first showed up. I was about to turn twelve. I was so excited about my birthday. My father introduced me and my mom to him. He met my father in one of the parties at my fathers restaurant. He was such a nice and friendly person I instantly became close to him, he started visiting us more frequently and always brought my favorite things for me as a gift. There wasn't a single time in which he didn't bring anything, he'll always pamper me and play with me, he would spend hours at our place. But during vacations he'll go for touring."

He heaved a sigh and continued, Chloe was quietly listening to him, because for her it was the first time he's opening up.

"As the time passes he became my role model, because he was the best at everything, I started getting attached to him ,even more than my father. He was the respected man, his personality holds power. He'll always use to say that "If you want it, then work for it and have it by hook or by crook" but at that tender age I couldn't understand the meaning behind his words."

There was a far away look in his eyes, Chloe couldn't understand who he was talking about but stayed silent.

"As the days passed he became just like a family to us. He wanted to start a business with my father, but my father didn't have enough money. My father worked as a manager in one of the cafe. His income was enough for our family, to fulfill our needs. But he somehow convinced my father to start our own business with him. He encouraged my father to ask for money from one of his known friend. My Mom was pregnant at that time. She was the least bit favored in this business partnership thing. She tried to stop dad but dad didn't want us to live like his. He wanted to give us a good life. My father took one million dollars from that friend of his on the promise of returning the money after two years. With that money they started their own business of import and export which was really beneficial in their favor. Everyone was happy, my mom gave birth to a beautiful girl. Her name was Lucy. The moment she was born she became the heart of our family. Slowly and gradually they build an empire they both became the most powerful business men just with in a year. Everything was going good. But..."

His voice was void and Stoic. It was like he was back in time.

"Things started to take an ugly shape when he started gambling, behind my fathers back he was running a small drug business under the companies name. When, my father got to knew about it. He tried to stop him, but he was more out of control so my father broke the partnership between them. There was a great loss in the company's stocks. Due to this a single company was divided into two and became two different companies. During the time our William's company rises up, but he was completely doomed he lost all his money in gambling. Still, my father was kind enough to gave him shelter in our home but that was the biggest mistake."

His voice was shaking because of the anger his hands were clenched into fists.

"Somehow I again find those street peoples, they were so sorry for us. The woman there who became close to my mom was Jess, she tends to our wounds, she cried for the loss of her friend. She was the one who took care of us. Even tho she didn't have enough to give us but still she took care of us. I started working different jobs waiter, painter anything to feed my sister. She started forming full sentences while talking with her own accent. She was my life. The most precious thing I had. She was so adorable."

He smiled while talking about her, and separate himself from Chloe he took out his phone and showed her the picture of his sister. Chloe was crying and smiling at the same time while looking at the picture it was the mini Andrew version the difference is that she had a pony tail. But what confused her was that where is she now?

Andrew: She was three years old when she fell sick, when we consult the doctor he said that Lucy is diagnosed with leukemia. It was like my life is going to be snatched from me. But doctor said she'll be fine if we admit her immediately and more than thirty thousand dollars were needed to start the procedure. I was going ballistic, I didn't have that much money and nobody will lend me this much money. I didn't know what to do. I was crying miserably. Nothing was coming in my mind except that one person who can help me. I went to his company, I didn't even know why I came here after his cruel behavior towards me and my mom when my father died. But still he was our family once. With heavy heart I went in his cabin with the secretary. When he saw me he smiled not the genuine one but the evil one."

Andrew closed his eyes, with tears streaming down his face. He was panting furiously. Chloe was nervous, but she keeps stroking his arm to sooth him. She herself was crying.
