Chapter 2

  David's pov

 I rode the car back to the mansion I've lived for the past 11 years, may I mention, a low-key life away from these people, so no one recognised me. To the world Dad is my father, they don't even have a single clue about the reality, which is excellent. The universe thinks that Dad and I are always visiting this country and keep travelling around for business. Partly true but what they don't know is that we live here too, away from all these people, a lowkey life.

 Gets tough sometimes when people recognise me and then I just have to hide away as quickly as possible.

 Everyone's question...if you're a Mafia than why are you hiding? To be honest, it's not the police because they're all weak in front of us, it's not even the rivals because we have worlds most powerful army, twice as big as the royal kingdom's. The main reason for my lowkey life would be girls. Ugh, I have no idea why girls have this fantasy of falling in love with a bad boy, why?? I don't understand. Find a good man ladies, but who am I to judge? Although it still affects me!!! All these hoes surround me with themselves and try to get me laid but bitches this ain't 50 shades of grey, I ain't gonna do that shit. Yes, I'll admit I'm not a virgin, but that doesn't mean girls can just throw themselves on me. And this is my ultimate reason for staying away and lowkey, hidden from the world.

 Ugh...

 Although I like that movie...*smirk*

 "What?!!! Bankrupt?"

 I was outraged by the news which shook me like a lightening bolt.

 My father just let out a loud sigh.

 I watched as he frowned. His fingers entwined together.

 I stood up immediately from the seat and faced the man in front of us.

 "That's not possible, we have millions in the bank. Where did it all go?!" I asked frowning.

 "Mr Wang, it says here you had withdrawn a large amount from the bank for investment, as well as several loans". He completely ignored me and spoke to my dad.

 "And??" I asked, curious. 

 The man turned to me, annoyed.

 "And to pay off all the debts, we have to take your personal assets, your house, cars, jewellery, business and if needed, we will also have to take out money from your family members accounts. If the amount isn't paid back, then Mr Wang will be sent to jail".

 My dad stood up, bewildered, but managed to maintain his calm.

 "How much is the debt?"

 He asked calmly.

 "250 million dollars". The man said, scanning through his black folder.

 "What?!" 

 I yelled.



 This is insane. How are we going to pay that much?

 "How much do the assets add up to pay off the debt?"

 My dad asked calmly. Although I know inside, he wants to be left alone and scream.

 "By selling off all 11 cars, it adds up to 2 million on the dot and including jewellery there will be 280 thousand extra, as for your telecom business it will gain you 120 million". The man calculated everything with his grey calculator.

 "That only adds up to 122 million and 280 thousand", I said frustrated.

 "How are we going to pay the remaining 127,720,000 million?"

 My father finally spoke, frustratedly.

 The man began again with his calculator.

 "Well if we deduct money from your family members account which will be 3 million from your daughter's account, 2 million from your son's account and another 2 from your wife's than the sum can be decreased".

 "That still leaves us with 120, 780, 000 million" I sighed in frustration.

 The man sighed and began.

 "That only leaves us with one option". He said, placing his folder on the glass table.

 "What?" Dad and I asked in unison.

 "Put the mansion on auction for the remaining amount, if anyone is willing to buy it that is".

 Dad and I looked at each other in silence before it was broken.

 "Fine," dad said, defeated. His head hung low.

 The atmosphere was chilly, and the silence crept over.

 From that moment I knew it wasn't going to be the same anymore. We will be living on the streets. 

 We have nothing left.....nothing...

 ———————————————

 The ride back home was awfully quite. None of us spoke. Dad simply went back to his room and didn't even come out for dinner. The dining table was not the same before everyone shared and cared, now everything seemed sad and dead.

 I had told Mum and Rean about it, and they were also depressed.

 I went to check on my dad after, but all I saw through the little gap was him crying and holding a bottle of booze.

 Watching his state made me tear up. I ran back from there and entered my room, crying with a hand covering my mouth.

 I slammed the door shut and slid down behind it. Falling on the floor and crying my heart out.

 I've always seen my dad work hard for us, he stayed up all night long to do his paperwork so he could earn more money for us.

 And here we are finished...

 I won't blame anyone for Anything, but I will work hard to bring my family back together and have all our happiness back. I will take dad's place and use till my body wears out, but I will get back what my family truly deserves.

 After all, I'm the oldest child of this family so all the responsibilities will go on me.

 I gently opened the door and saw the women I yearned to visit for a long time.

 My mum...

 She was as gorgeous as always, her plain white dress was covered with the duvet, and her brown eyes lit up after seeing me.

 "D-David?"

 I teared up after hearing my name pronounced by my mum after such a long time.

 She tried getting up from the bed, but I ran up to her and stopped her.

 "M-Mum", I quickly hugged her and cried my heart out.

 All I could hear was my awful cries echoing in the room before I listened to her voice again.

 "Shh, I'm back David, Mumma is here", she hugged me back and comforted me.

 I couldn't stop crying, the happy tears just wanted to flow.

 We parted, and I looked at her while she wiped off my tears with her soft hands.

 "What a handsome man you have become".

 She smiled while looking at me.

 I simply smiled.

 "Why wouldn't I be? After all, my mother is beautiful herself".

 She chuckled but soon silenced.

 There was a pause as I heard nothing but pin-drop silence before it was broken.

 "11 years passed after........what happened". 

 She spoke. Although I could sense the crack in her voice. She was about to cry but managed to hold it in. 

 Seeing this, I quickly embraced her in my arms.

 My tears decided to flow again, but I wiped them off. 

 Exchanging it with a burning desire.

 "Don't you worry Mum, I promise they will all pay".

 I gritted my teeth while remembering that man.

 She didn't say Anything, but I understood her answer.

 "I love you, Mum".

 "I love you too, son."

Son, I have decided".

 He grinned goofily.

 "Yeah, right".

 I threw a cereal at him.

 Did he just mock my style?

 She walked in with arms folded.

Dad and I exchanged glances, not knowing what she was on about.

 She arched an eyebrow at me.

 I rubbed the nape of my neck and tried acting casual.

 That's such a terrible lie, but hey at least it worked.

 Mum eyed me.

 Too bad cause he's gonna be doing all the work today. Karma for mocking me and pushing me in the lake last time. I can still remember his laugh, oh my god, it was a nightmare.

 Mum kept yelling in the background. Sorry Mum, I just wanna have free time for myself today. I'll probably just make her a dessert in the evening to cheer her up. I'm sure she'll forgive me.

 The cake that I did not cut turned to dust and had been set in the same exact place for the past 11 years. Nothing changed about this place apart from the dirty webs and rats running through the house.

 I turned back and saw my house, watching me.

 One day, I will make you as beautiful as you were.

 And I promise you that.

 I have to see this than.

 He sounded like a really grumpy man, but when he stood up to face me, I was glad I found him.

 It was that same gardener who helped me in my miserable life. I would forget anyone but not this man. He had gotten very old, though. White hair and a really skinny body.

 He looked at me before planting a smile on his face at my remembrance.

 I asked curiously.

 He spoke while looking a the mansion.

 George and I erupted laughing at his statement.

I assured him and walked inside, Only meeting the grand interior.

 I found a seat in the massive hall and watched as everyone settled down. It was about to begin.

 The man who ruined my life!

 The man who killed my father!

 The man who made my mother fall in a deep slumber for years and lose track of life!

 He's behind it all!!!!

 Look at him talking to people thinking everything will go back to normal, he might have lost everything but certainly did not manage to lose his pride and that's exactly what I want to break!!

 I felt like getting off my seat and beating the shit out of him, but then something else caught my attention that I wasn't ready for. I never could have imagined this in my wildest dreams.

 It was the girl from the other day!

 It's the same  girl that ran into my car and the one I dropped to the bank.

 Fuck! Why is life playing around with me like this?

 I sat there speechless when it all came tumbling down to me.

 *smirk*

 Payback's gonna be a bitch Jung.

 Karma is heading your way.
