He was sitting in a club holding a glass of beer. It's been days since he was out with his girlfriend. She just went to the restroom. He was happy that the misunderstanding between them cleared up.
"Are you sure you are gonna propose to her???"
His friend asked.
"Yeah, Man. Next week is her birthday. I don't think I can find anyone better than her. She is a little bit too possessive but she is loving and caring. I think I can live happily with her."
"Dude, I can't understand you. Yesterday you were saying she doesn't listen to you and now."
"Come on. I was angry nothing else but she was again doubting that I was having an affair with one of my students. Come on man. I can never do that."
"Excuse me."
Before he said anything a sweet feminine voice came from behind. Someone patted his shoulder. He turned around and a young girl was standing there.
"Yes??? May I help you???"
He asked in a gentlemanly mm. He couldn't expect that she was going to ruin his life in a few seconds.
She kissed Him on his lips without letting him say anything and after that, before he got back to his senses she left the bar and ran away.
"Listen. Who are you???"
But he couldn't even follow her. His friend was shocked.
"Dude was she your Student???"
"Shut up man. I don't even know her name. I have seen her for the first time."
"Come on. Do I look like an idiot to you???"
But before he replied he saw his girlfriend standing behind and by getting expression it was obvious that she saw what happened.
"Oh god. Not again. How am I gonna explain this to her now???"
"I can't believe it. We are done. It's over Xavier."
"Come on let me explain."
"Not a word."
She left him and he was sitting there thinking about what to do next.
He was going home when he saw that girl drunk and walking outside the bar.
"Hey. Listen. "
"What???"
She looked at him in anger and frustration.
"Because of You, my Girlfriend broke up with me. Why did you do that???"
"Oh come on. You don't even look sad. And don't be so angry. It was nothing personal. My friends gave me a dare and I was just completing that."
"Because of your nonsense dare My relationship is ruining. You are coming with me. You will explain to my girlfriend that we are not together and whatever this dare thing is."
"No way. I am getting late. I am going home."
He held her arm.
"No no no. You can't just walk out of my way like that. Come with me."
He pulled her and her into her car after a while.
"Where are you taking me???"
"To my girlfriend's house. We are going to marry."
"Leave me. I am gonna scream otherwise."
"Listen. I promise I will drop you wherever you want but just tell my girlfriend the truth first. "
He drove back to her home and called her out.
"I told you not to come here."
"Listen to me, Jenny. Trust me I don't even know this girl. Ask her yourself."
"Oh wow, you brought her here with you. Great."
He was holding the girl and she was drunk. He patted her shoulder.
"Hey, Come-on tell her."
"Tell what???"
"The truth."
She stared at Xavier's face and then looked at Jenny's.
"Oh come on baby. Why are you hiding this now??? Tell her the truth. You love me and We are going to marry next month."
"What the hell are you talking about??? Don't lie. Tell her the truth. Please be serious. Stupid Girl."
She held Xavier's hand and put it on her belly. He was shocked by her acting. Why was she doing that???
"I am pregnant with his baby. He was afraid of telling you. But please. You can marry him. I will leave the town As soon as possible."
"You are unbelievable. I thought I could trust you but you cheated on me."
"No, Jenny listen. Please she is lying. trust me please."
"How many more chances Xavier??? I am sick of you."
Jenny insulted him and then shut the door in his face. By the time he turned around to burst into anger at that girl she was on the ground.
"Hello??? You are sleeping calmly after ruining my life. What did I do wrong??? Tell me. Why do you do that???"
she was still on the ground and wasn't responding to him. At first, he thought he should leave her there but then he lifted her and placed her back in the car.
"It was a terrible decision taking you here. You ruined my life."
He was cursing himself.
He shook her.
"For god sake tell me your address. I will drop you there and will never see your stupid face. God, why me all the time??? She couldn't find anyone else in the bar except me???" He was driving and talking to himself.
"Come on baby. Don't be mad. She wasn't your type anyways. Look at me. You deserve someone like me."
"Lisen! Tell me your address. I want to get rid of you as soon as possible."
"Why home address??? I bet you won't like it there. but I can go with you to your place. Do you know what I mean??? You and me at your place the whole night. It will be fun."
"Shut up. Just shut up. You have no idea what you have done and you don't even know what you are offering. Tell me the goddamn address."
He was losing his patience.
"Okay, Ryan. Let's go back now. I am tired love."
She was seeing someone else in him but somehow he managed to get the home address he had no idea the way that crackhead was gonna create another trouble.
That night was going to be the most dramatic and memorable night of his life. Everything would be changing sooner. He had no idea what he was dealing with.
The girl who he just kinda kidnapped was the only Grandchild of a Mafia King. By the time the news broke out to the King about his missing granddaughter he called everyone in the city. he was on his private jet to find his granddaughter. Everyone knew how much he loved her. He would burn the city alive if something bad happens to her.
Everybody was looking for her and Xavier was thinking of taking her back to the bar and dropping her there but this was going to prove the worst mistake of his life.
The guards were waiting outside the bar and this turn would change his life completely.
"I don't understand for how long are you going to mourn over her Neil???"
She was looking frustrated and was looking in the mood of killing him.
"What do you want me to do then??? I have nothing left Jenny. I have lost my child. My wife. My mom, I have no one now."
He said while taking another sip of beer. It's been an hour he was sitting there with his best friend, who wasn't just his shrink but also his ex-girlfriend.
"Come on Neil. I know it's hard. But gotta move on honey. Stop destructing yourself. Why aren't you seeing your potential?? You are wasting your life. Stop ruining your career. Please."
"I don't know. I don't feel any urge to get back to my life. It's over. I wanted to achieve all that for them, not for myself."
"It's been a year. She is dead. Why don't you accept that???"
"Please Please! Jenny doesn't say that. I know she is alive. She will be back. She can't leave me alone like that. She promised to be with me till the end."
"For god sake, Neil..stop doing this to yourself. She is dead. Just accept the fact."
"Please don't say that. You know I hate it when you say that. And don't try to be my shrink here. I called you here as a friend. So can you please be that for me???"
He was getting mad and then he realized that he has no one else left except her. He had been living his purposeless life after that tormented attack.
"Okay, Okay I am sorry."
Jenny immediately regretted what she said. She got near him and held his hand.
"I know I shouldn't be saying that. I know it's hurting you but I can't see you like that. You are more than a friend to me and you know that. Please stop doing this. Look at yourself. It's been a year. You haven't gone to work. Do you have any idea what's happening around???"
"I don't want to go to work. I don't want to do anything. Please stop giving me this sympathy. I know you are worried for me but stop that now, please. You can live your life. I don't want your concern."
He said that and it all came to her as a shock. She left everything behind for him and now he was treating her like trash.
"I can't believe you. I think you are right. You died with your wife last year and maybe I should mourn over you too. Bye."
She immediately got up and while tears rolled down her eyes she left the bar. He was still drinking his beer when he heard a ringtone.
It was Jenny's phone. It was on the desk. He must have forgotten that. It was an unknown number calling again and again. So after that, he picked it up.
Before he said anything someone spoke.
"Bitch Why the hell are you ignoring my call now??? You know you owe me a debt and remember what I said??? This is the last month. I am gonna get my money or get ready to be my slut."
He hung up the call and Neil was frozen there. He regretted his mistakes. He realized what happened around him. How hard Jenny was struggling and why the hell was she mad at him?
This was just the flat owner. How many more guys have been teasing her just because she was Taking care of a grown-ass man who had turned her life into hell?
He felt so ashamed and was hating himself even more for putting jenny into a situation like that. If he hadn't been selfish. They might have been living a balanced life.
All that night he regretted and he made a promise to himself that he would no longer take her for granted. She is his best friend. She had been through enough. No more suffering.
After that, he got up and went back to his flat. Jenny was sleeping and the condition of the flat wasn't that good.
He slept for a while and then he got up later in the afternoon. Jenny had already left for the clinic and He decided to start working too.
He shaved after so many days and wore his shirt and went to see her at the Clinic. She was so happy seeing him.
"Are you serious?? You are gonna join me now???"
"Yup. I am sorry for being a jerk. You are not going to take the responsibility all alone."
She hugged him and he was feeling a bit better now. He started working again and it's been a month since he started going out. They shifted to a new house and she asked him out on a date too but he refused.
"Jenny I know You like me but I can't love anyone else. I can't forget Hazel "
"I don't want you to love me back. I just want to stay with you. I want to take care of you. I have no one else in my life, Neil. Please. Let me do this."
"Please. Don't force me. You know we can't be together. I can never feel something for you. And I still love Hazel. You might believe that she is dead but I don't. "
"You are gone mad. Do you think she would have survived that blast??? No guard was there. No one was found. Just pieces of flesh and bones and thousands of them."
It just rewinds that horrible attack in front of his eyes.
"Please stop. Please. I know my Hazel wasn't there."
"Didn't you see her going in the house before the blast??? You dropped her there yourself. Why are you not admitting this now???"
Another guilt of leaving her there just to buy a gift for her to surprise her on her birthday. He didn't have any idea that he was sending her to a slaughterhouse. He regretted many things but not going in with her was the most regrettable and painful part.
"Stop it. I can't give you false hope. I am sorry. I don't think I am capable of love."
He said that and left her in the restaurant while he was taking a walk. He was just trying to believe that she wasn't dead. It was just his way of making himself comfortable with his guilt.
Deep down he feared that Jenny might be true. He might never meet Hazel again. He was unaware that the love of his life. His wife. The person he was dying to meet with was coming back to his life bringing a storm to torment him and he would regret his guilt and everything then.
She was standing inside that giant house. It was still black and everything was turned into ashes. Everything started coming back to her mind.
What happened to her?? That attack. That blast. She saw her grandpa, her father dead in front of her. She was screaming in pain.
She opened her eyes immediately.. despite becoming so strong she couldn't think of that day again.
She was looking around the house. Everything that was her childhood..the memories with her grandpa. With her Dad. Everything started coming back.
"Leave everyone."
She stumbled upon a photo album which was half burnt. She saw her Mom's picture there and asked everyone to leave her alone.
She sat down and was looking at them one by one. From her childhood to her going to college and his, Grandpa had kept a trail of everything. She was smiling seeing all that and tears were rolling down her eyes at the same time.
She never imagined that seeing those pictures could be that painful. She cried holding that album in her embrace and cried for quite a time.
It was the First time she cried at her beloved one's death. She gathered courage and was about to get up and that's when a picture fell.
It was her wedding picture. Her husband was standing next to her. Everything else was burnt. How could she forget him?? He was the reason for her sorrows. She couldn't contain her frustration and started shooting around the room. On the walls.
Her guards ran inside.
"Are you alright??? Hazel what happened???"
His most trusted guard and loyal one to his family was standing there.
"John. I don't know what are you gonna do. But Find this man. "
"I promise you. He will be in front of you anytime soon. He can't hide for a long time. My network is active. anybody seeing him would report me immediately. I can't wait to see him dead."
"No, You are not gonna touch him. No one would touch this man. you hear me."
She looked at the guards and ordered in her rageous tone.
"He is mine to kill. I will give him my special treatment."
She looked around again and then started getting out of the house.
"Joh how much time would this take to get back this house to Its original shape??? "
"I will try to make it as soon as possible. Till then I have arranged a new house for. I have checked everything. It's perfect there. I will take care of everything."
"I know. What about that local gang???"
"I called them. They agreed on meeting tonight. If you want I can call them at your new house."
"Yeah, that will be fine. "
They both got in the car and she was looking around. The roads. The place. Everything was reminding her of what happened there. It all felt like a dream. It was yesterday when she was going to school with her grandpa and then going to medical college with him.
She snapped out of a trance when John asked.
"Hazel. Don't you think!!! Meeting the local gang is way too sooner?? I mean. We have just gotten back in town. It's been a year. Everything has changed. "
"I know what I am doing. You said all of them promised their loyalty to Grandpa. It's time to see if they remember that or not."
"I know. But we can wait. Let me get more information about everyone."
"We know much about them and that would suffice John. Just don't try to be lenient with them. Don't question my judgment again."
"Sorry. "
"Stop the car."
"Here??? Are you sure???"
She gave a stare John and he was silent.
"Okay."
She got out and Joh stepped out too.
"Stay here. I will be back ."
"Let me check inside first. This could be dangerous."
She knew Sir John won't listen to her. He went in and after getting satisfied he was back.
"All clear. You can go. But try to make it hurry.. our enemies know we are back in Town."
"Good for us then."
She was still so calm and for a moment John admired her attitude. She had become stronger and a killing machine. He was happy for her but deep down was scared too. Because Hazel he knew his whole life was the one protecting people. Saving people but she was the one Breaking every oath.
It felt like humans were like chickens to her. She slaughters them without blinking her eyes.
But it was justifiable. The one who lost everything and had been betrayed by her love, her husband gets numb like that. She had stopped empathizing or sympathizing with anyone now.
She opened the door and entered the house. The house was still the same. She saw some pictures of Neil and her mother. But there wasn't a single picture of her.
She looked around and was recalling how she spent the most beautiful days that are painful now for her.
She looked around and she wished Neil would have been in front of her and she would have killed him with her bare hands.
She never imagined she would hate him that much. But he took away everything from her. She can't trust anybody now. She can't think of a normal life again.
Because of him, she had become a slaughter queen. A killing Machine. The Mafia Queen.
She always hated her Grandpa's Mafia Throne. It took away everything from her. Her Mom. But now she was sitting on it.
Not for power. Not for money. Just to get revenge for what happened to her family. She wanted to show everyone that Her Family's death wasn't going in vain.
Everybody believed that she was dead and even if she wasn't. She wasn't capable of sitting on the throne. But she was proving everyone wrong.
It's been a few months and the underworld is shaken by hearing her nickname. Wherever she went, chaos followed the place..she had turned the most influential underworld, Gang Masters, into her slaves and many stubborn rival gangs into Graveyard.
She was Back to show everyone that she was no less different than her grandpa. Ruthless, heartless and Thirsty for blood.
She still had a long way to go but Before that, she wanted to find the person turning her like that. She wanted to kill her husband, it would make her heart at peace.
She didn't know that she was going to commit the biggest mistake of her life. She would be going to regret that sooner.
