Seducing The Mafia King novel Chapter 41

" Anna, I know you must be feeling alone, and I can't really fill the space of your brother and father in your heart, but I promise, I will not let you feel alone, I'm always with you and I will always protect you, you don't need to feel alone, okay, I'm here " John said gently while Anna looked up at him with indifferent eyes.

" John, If I ask you something, will you tell me the truth? " She asked with hoarse voice while John looked back deeply at her.

" Of coarse, when did I lie to you ? " he said calmly while she glanced at him even more indifferently, and then added

" What do you think about my father? I mean how was he? Which type of man he was ? " she asked, continuously looking at his eyes while he frowned, he moved his eyes away from her and said, " Why, why are you asking this all of sudden, don't you know your father ? "

" Just answer me John, Did he love me ? " she added while John became even more nervous, he coughed, didn't know how to answer, should he tell her the truth? But, she won't be able to listen the truth, he then added

" Of coarse, he loved you, you know him much better than anyone, don't you remember how did he treat you all these years, huh, why asking me ? " anyhow he managed to lie frequently.

" Oh, What about my brother then, John, who killed my brother? "

John's eyes frowned while listening this question coming out from her, he looked up at her with shocked eyes, the uneasiness and a feeling of guilt was clearly visible in his eyes, he said, " Why, why are you asking this to me? Didn't I tell you earlier? You, you even make me agree to avenge Peter and kill his killer, then why, why are you asking it again ?" he stuttered as he was afraid of her questioning eyes.

John wiped his tears and looked at Anna while saying

" What could I do then, tell me what should I have done? Was it my fault that I fell in love with you in my childhood, was it my fault that I only wanted to spend good time with you, was it my fault that I wanted to protect you from your own father when I got to know that your father wasn't a good person ? "

" Don't involve him in this, I know how bad he was, but it doesn't implicate that you were right, you are equally wrong as him, and I can't forget you, never " she yelled as she was now feeling only disgusted about what he was telling her.

" Yeah, I'm wrong, equally wrong as your evil father, I don't know who told you everything but I must say he didn't tell you the whole truth, let me show you the other phase of this story, and that story is when your father observed that I have feelings for you, he showed me his true face, he started blackmailing me to work for him otherwise, otherwise he would hurt you, he used to say me that he would burn your skin with candles or cigarettes if I didn't help him in stealing few documents from my Dad's cupboard.
