“What now?” Daniel said, sipping his coffee and going through the newspaper.

“I have news, it’s about your son. ” He said, cautiously.

“Is that so?” Daniel said nonchalantly. He then lowered the newspaper to look at Haz before turning the page to him saying, “By chance, does it have to do with this?”

Haz glanced at the paper hesitantly, his eyes widening slightly when he saw the headlights

[Gang War Leaves Container Depot In Ruin.]

When Daniel was sure that he was done reading, he folded the paper into four sides and dropped it on the sofa. He then propped his chin with his hand, saying to his assistant, Haz,

“This incident happened last night, why am I hearing about it this morning?” He asked him.

Faz swallowed, knowing his head was going to end up on a spike today. Today was the day he would die. He had only been promoted to this position because his predecessor was “punished”. That is if you get what he means.

.....

“Why won’t you answer and stop staring at me like a dog with no sense of direction!” Daniel barked at him and he was startled into giving him an answer.

Haz fell on his knees at once, “I was distracted, boss, and forgot my duties, but I promise that it’s not going to happen again.”

“It’s not going to happen again, is that so?” Daniel thought over it.

“Yes, boss!” He answered hurriedly knowing that his life was on the line here.

Daniel got up to his feet and the poor man’s heart began to pound hard. Even with his head lowered, he could sense Daniel’s movement and sweat dripped from his face and onto the ground. Soon he was staring down at Daniel’s pink flip-flops and his heart rate accelerated faster than before.

Haz shut his eyes knowing that this was his last time on earth. Had he known, he would have made up with his girlfriend after fighting with her last night, but now it was too late. He knew if God gave him a second chance, he would apologize right away and fix things between them.

“Look at me,” Daniel commanded and he did not hesitate to lift his head, his face coated with sweat. Daniel squatted down before him and he was staring the man right in the face in that position.

“You see….” Daniel started, “I take my son’s affairs quite seriously. He’s my only future and if he fails tomorrow, that’s all on me. It’s quite fortunate that I like you and am giving you a second chance. Another mishap and I’m not informed on time, you’re losing your position.” He told him

Haz didn’t need to be told what losing his position implied. He was going to work harder from now on.

“Thank you, boss!” He said, lowering his head to the ground and appreciating him over and over again.

Daniel ignored him and returned to his seat. He picked up the newspaper and continued reading the book. Thankfully, the police had attributed the incident to a fight between two rival gangs and the Luciano family was not implicated. The bodies belonging to the Luciano family were cleared up before the police arrived.

“Where’s my son?” Daniel asked him without taking his eyes off the paper.

“He’s currently at the hospital,” Haz answered, “Victor was injured in the incident and he’s been treated at the hospital.”

Hearing the mention of a hospital, Daniel’s brows distorted. Has his son finally lost it? Why would he bring a gunshot victim to the hospital? He was practically putting a target on himself and the family.

“What hospital?”

“The hospital is said to belong to the Draven Family’s boss lady, Mrs. Natalie, and Arianna’s mother.”

“Interesting,” Daniel was amused, unbelieving that Natalie would be willing to treat anyone from Luciano’s family. She hated the whole of them. Unless she knows the truth already.

“She’s getting weak.”

“What?”

“It’s nothing,” Daniel said, continuing with his reading. Or he tried to because he snapped the paper shut in no time.

He stood up and Haz looked at him questioningly.

“Where do we go, boss?”

“This one’s on me,” Daniel said, heading into his room to dress up and go see an old friend.

Meanwhile….

Carmine was the first person to arrive at the hospital before everyone else. The woman had almost lost her mind when they told her her son nearly died. Out of all of her children, Victor was her favorite and only son out of all her children. No, everyone liked Victor, he had that effect on people since the day he was born.

She knew what getting into the family’s business entailed and tried to stop him from participating by all means, but the boy was stubborn, not to mention his tight relationship with Marcel. Hence, she lived with her heart in her throat, waiting on the day she would get the bad news. And it seems it finally happened.

Thankfully, Victor was a fighter and did not fall into a coma. He woke up before his mother arrived and it was he and Arianna talking before she came inside.

“Victor!” The woman shouted when she saw her son looking so fragile on the bed with an IV attached to his body, and she was filled with anger.

“Mother,” Victor said, surprised to see his mother. Well, he shouldn’t be since it was normal for his mother to come to check up on her son, but Mimi had been the one he was expecting.

Unfortunately, his mother saw the disappointed look on his face and she connected the dots.

“Wait a minute, you don’t want to see me?”

“Mam, it’s not like that?” He tried to explain. What was he going to explain?

“You thought that I was someone else? Is it Mimi?”

Victor swallowed, that was the truth but then, why does it feel like admitting it would be the end of his life?

“You know I love you, mam,”

“Love, my butt! You unfilial son!” The woman took out the banana from the fruit basket she came with and hurled it at him, and Arianna caught it on time, thankfully.
