Chapter 3 Staking deals

"Dad am not partaking in this nonsense, you are driving me insane all day, you and brother can get insane all you want but count me out" A young adult of eighteen years old, stood in a luxurious room, having an heated conversation with two grown up men, one who looked like he is in his early thirties, and the other in his mid fifty.

"You are such a bastard" the man in his early thirties gave an heavy punch on the jaw of the young adult "how dare you talk to us like that, if not for me and pa, you can't be what you are today"

" Then I would prefer leaving this unclean life, than partaking in killing my own cousin Mike, just because of one crazy wealth, not lasting forever" The boy fired back with blood dripping from his lips.

The middle aged man just sat still, watching his sons fighting, as he gently sips his wine.

"Are you guys done" the middle aged man finally talked "I don't have a problem with you Ethan" he stood up walking to his youngest son with the cut on his lips "I have done it before, and I don't mind doing it again son, I would kill to get what I want son, not even you are exempted" he said as he touched the boy named Ethan cut lips.

" Your mother tried betraying me, and you know what happened ryt, I kept her in her rightful place, Dear Anabelle" the man named Gideon clicked his tongue as he completed his last sentence, backing both his sons.

" Dear Seth , how would you feel when I give your junior brother my wealth, and leave you with nothing" Gideon asked still backing them as he twirled the glass of wine which he had emptied in his hand.

The eldest brother Seth didn't give any reply, his head was only bowed.

A throaty laugh escapes Gideon's lips, when he had no reply "So no reply uhn" he turned back facing Seth the eldest son as he placed his hand on his shoulder "I felt myself running insane when Father gave Castillo the head of his wealth, and MONSTERO in his name, and had me with nothing, but a protector to my younger brother, I was broken and from that day made a promise to make all of them pay, but look at me" another throaty laugh escapes his lips.

The youngest son Ethan could only watch his father mindlessly going insane, his father as a dirty but more better job at hand than being the owner of MONSTERO, his father is a wealthy politicians, the famous Gideon Brown, but his father still claims to be powerless if MONSTERO is not his.

He had even poisoned the once sane mind of his elder brother Seth, who also want MONSTERO, like their father did, sometimes, he found himself as the only sane person in the family of just 3.

Ethan couldn't take it anymore and walked away 'he needed to be from this insane people, which wrong felt like right thing to them'

MONSTERO

The mother and daughter heard the opening of a door, and they saw a figure walk into the room.

The aura which this person brought in screamed of Danger, the room temperature became unbearable to both mother and daughter.

They had clicking sound of a male's shoe on the floor, they saw the figure getting closer to them.

"Why so creepy mom" Adeline who was really scared asked her mom.

"Catherine Lopez" a cold but rich voice, holding power sounded off in the room, as the light suddenly turned on the room.

Catherine and Adeline had their eyes strained due to the sudden intrusion of light into their eyes, before fully adjusting to it.

Their eyes met with a man which built speaks of power, and face of ruthlessness, Catherine couldn't find herself to close her mouth.

"Castillo" she whispered, forgetting the Castillo she knew was dead three years ago, and this was not him but his son.

The man standing in front of her looked so much like Castillo, but much younger, Castillo bodily built, Castillo's, handsome and we'll shaped face, even Castillo bodily aura, this man had it all.

He felt like Castillo's Resurrection, Catherine wasn't even aware of the time a gasp escaped her lips.

"Surprised" The man non other than Mike Brown asked "am no Castillo, but someone Castillo left, to continue from where his scenes in the drama 'life' ended" Mike added.

"Who are you" Adeline was the one who asked the question, gaining Mike's attention.

"You don't need to know" He replied Adeline coldly, which Adeline didn't like.

"Wah r.. ahh" before she could complete her sentence Catherine managed to step on her foot, even though they where tied.

"So Catherine, one year gone, from what you promised, am giving the grace, to give the payment, cause I would take it that you where not informed about MONSTERO having a new boss"

" Thank for your quick thinking my Lord, I remembered promising Castillo my daughter as a paym.."

" What daughter? " Adeline asked not believing what she just heard.

" I rememb.." Catherine tried continuing again but she was cut off by Adeline again.

"WHAT FVCKING DAUGHTER MOM" Adeline screamed in rage, as her face reddened 'was that what her mom was trying to tell her before this man walked in' a drop of tears, escaped her eyes, as her lips trembled.

"LET ME CONTINUE AND SHUT THE HELL UP" For the first time Catherine shouted at her daughter.

"How could you do that to me and you tell me to shut up" streams of tears rolled down her cheek as she bit her lips staring into her mother sorry eyes.

"It for your sake" Catherine said softly.

"You sold me for my sake, who does that, it not mine, it your sake, I pitied you when you told me what you went through earlier, but SEE, YOU FVCKEN SOLD ME FOR YOUR SAKE" she screamed the last sets of words.

" I DIDN'T SELL YOU AYDA"

" Then what did you do, you used me to clear your filthy lo... "

"SHUT THE FVCK UP" Mike roared " I am not here for your cock and bull stories, I came to take my dad's shit" he said shutting the mother and daughter up.

" We are both sorry" Catherine apologized " Like I said I promised Castillo my 6 years old daughter, but I had a rethink about this later, and i.. I can't have my daughter a..s a sex slave, I would take her role instead, I have worked here before, so I have more understanding than her" Catherine said shocking her daughter.

" Really" a devilish laugh erupted like a volcano from Mike's lips "even though I have the same look with Castillo, do I look like I am in my late 40's"

" Let me tell you something, I hold on first rules, I have another use of your daughter than being a sex slave, which I would keep a secret till dying minutes" Mike said, and lit a cigar, which he slipped between his lips immediately.

"D..drug t.. trafficking, no she can't do that, I would rather go for her, and work as hard as I can till I get your money back, please let her go" Catherine cried out, even though she hated anything that deals with drugs, her poor daughter can't partake in it.

Adeline was touched, that tears couldn't stop pouring from her eyes, even though she had sold her, she was still the one fighting for her freedom now.

"I don't like repeating my words Catherine, I said I hold on first rules" he brought out a gun from his trouser pocket, as he played with it "I won't want the fact that I would waste this bullet on your head" he stared at the gun and stared back at Catherine.

Cold sweat, formed on Adeline's forhead, after listening to his words, her eyes flew wide open, when she heard him corking the gun.

Like a bolt of lightening, he fired a bullet above Catherine's head, which had Catherine heart on the run.

He raised the gun again "Stop it!!!" Adeline screamed before he could pull the trigger once again, with cold sweat all over her body.

Mike smirked as he let his hand drop, looking at the lady who had saved her mother's skull.

"I would pay my debts" Adeline said shocking Catherine.

"No you can't" Catherine said, shaking her head continuously, as tears rolled down her eyes together with Adeline "you would be a drug trafficker darling"

"I can't let you get killed mom, I can't help it" Adeline cried out.

Adeline looked back at the man who held them captive " are you making me a drug trafficker" she swallowed the lump in her throat as she asked.

" No" the man replied simply, as he puffed out the smoke in his mouth.

"Then what" she asked, getting relieved it wasn't related to drugs 'then what'

"Bear me an heir, my son "
