Love & Lies

Andrew

I wore my all-time favorite black jacket, white shirt, jeans, and my Christ Locket for extra details, I am going to celebrate my success with my fellow college friends.

They must be waiting for me.

I instantly stroll down towards my car, as I drove it to the dance club, I still couldn't believe that I won the title of 'Top ten businessmen of the year' despite the fact that I belong to the world's most dangerous Mafia family because of my Father.

Even though I am so successful in my field, my father still expects me to take his place and become a gangster-like him.

I admit that I love to torment and take the life out of people, it's in my blood but he has to understand that time has changed everything.

Anyway, I don't wanna ruin my mood of celebrations, I tried my best to drove as fast as I can to reach there before my friends so I could taunt them about it.

Out of suddenly, I saw a girl came middle of the road and singled me to stop the car, it was almost impossible for me to push the break because of the high speed, I somehow managed to stop.

What the fuck?! Does she want to die?!!

Thank God, I didn't hit her with my car.

I quickly realized that she stopped the other cars as well, in an attempt to help the orphanage kids to cross the street. I soon got it that they were special children who can't walk and she is helping each one of them.

My anger soon melt and the confusion take over its place, I mean, she risked her life just to help those children? she could have waited for the traffic single to turn red.

My gaze moves towards her features, I can clearly see her face through my car windshield, I never saw such a beautiful girl like her, her hair was flipping up because of air, and her orange floral print dress was giving her an angel look.

If someone tells me, that she actually came from Heaven, then trust me without doubting that person I will believe in that.

She was smiling while saying bye to the kids, that smile made my heart skipped a beat. And I noticed that I wasn't the only one who was looking at her but the driver of next to the car was creeping her up.

Yeah, I know but I swear, I didn't think anything bad for her, I was just complimenting her grace and kindness.

And before she goes out of my sight, I stroll out and went towards her, as I helped her. She flashed me her sweet smile.

With no time she has become the crush of mine so at least I could try up my chances. But also as a Man, I can't see a girl doing work in the harmful sun rays when I can help her too.

Right?

"Thanks for the help," She said, "You can move your car now" 

"Always welcome but if you don't mind, could you wait for me?" She nodded in confusion. I quickly parked my car at the side of the road and went back to her.

"Is there something you want to ask?" She asked me.

I shook my head, "Not really, just wanted to know your name" I said and she raised her brows.

"Why?"

"Because I don't meet a girl everyday who loves to help kids" She again gives me her sweet smile.

"No, I was just doing my job"

I nodded, "Andrew," I tell her my name as I extended my hand for a handshake.

"it's Elina," She told me her name but a female voice interrupt us.

" Hey, sorry I am late we can go shopping before the sale ends" She pulled Elina along with her to the car.

"Andrew, I am sorry but I have to go, see ya" She hastily said to me.

"Wait, at least have a coffee with me" and with that, she vanished with her friend leaving me here like that.

I wanted to ask her for a dinner but I didn't even get to know her well, shame on you, Andrew, you can't even get simple information about a girl.

With my little sad mood as I reached the club and I was the only one who came late, but the nutty jokes from my friends lifted up the mood, and I enjoy my time with them.

But the curiosity will remain inside of me unless I found her again.

*******

*knock*

*knock*

*knock*

*knock *

I was still in deep sleep my eyes barely opened when I heard that someone was knocking hard on my bed room's door. But I was too tired to open the door so I covered my ears from the pillow and pulled the blanket back on me. I shouldn't have to stay at the party the whole night, I knew it, the hangover will take me. I won't do that mistake again but I need sleep.

*knock*

*knock*

"Again" I whisper in my sleepy voice I don't know who the hell is standing out there. But I am damn sure he wants to die today. 

*knock*

"what the fuck?!" I yelled and this time I was angry so I removed my gun from the drawer. 

I opened the door and pointed my gun to the maid who fell on the floor in fear seeing the gun in my hand "so so sorry- sorry, sir I don't want to dis- disturb... you" she spoke in a Cracking voice. 

"So what the fuck are you here for?!" I yelled at her. 

"Actually your father is here and he wants to meet you" she replied still sitting on the floor in fear well I can't blame her for this.

"Okay fine I will be downstairs in few minutes," I said in an irritating tone and told my maid to leave. 

After the bath, I combed my hair and changed my clothes into a black shirt and jeans, and went downstairs to meet my father.

He was sitting on a couch with his men, his eyes were on his phone but he kept his phone aside when he saw me. 

"Come and sit here son," he said while pointing at the sofa in front of him. 

"Hello, dad how are you?" I asked as a formality because I know my dad is always good in health like Stallone. 

"I was good until I heard that someone killed Maxon, do you know anything about it?" he asked me 

"No, when all this happened? " I asked back. 

Maxon was my dad's most trustworthy man who was working for us for the last 12 years. To be honest I really never liked the way he works so I don't really care about it but he does. 

"yesterday he found dead in his house, he was been shot in the head," He said. 

"And.....?". 

"And we searched his house where we found some evidence that it could be Marcus or someone who hates him very much "He was serious. 

Marcus was my good friend and use to work for dad years ago but he betrayed him and from then to now he is our old enemy, a few weeks ago we get information that he knows something about us that no one should know about it, he was on my hitlist but dad give this work to Maxon to kill Marcus. 

"kill Marcus then " I replied flatly.

" You didn't hear me well I think son, I said it could be Marcus or someone who hates him," he stated. 

"And who could be that someone?" I asked in confusion. 

"you," he said and I get more confused.

"Sorry but I think I didn't hear you dad" 

" You heard me I said it is you" when he said that I was shocked.
