The Deal About Us

37

I danced inside the house got rid of my heels and jacket then went downstairs to the dungeon

I stumbled into the dungeon and knocked on the cell door. I know stupid. She woke up and looked at me. I placed the water bottle I bought down and unlocked the cell door. I walked inside with the bottle and closed the door

"Hey am I seriously disturbing you?" I asked sitting beside her hugging my knees

She looked at me and blinked her eyes

"You are drunk" she stated and I hummed in response

"What do you wanna ask" she asked

"How long have you been in captive?" I asked

"Before you were born" she answered

 "I know" I replied softly pushing the bottle of water towards her

"How valuable is this information? That you struggled for years? Separated from your children. You couldn't even peacefully mourn your husband" I asked

"Why do you wanna know?" she asked

"Tyler, Keith and I were raised in the sense that you are our enemy and that information you have is our chance to not only survive but to succeed, reach great heights. I don't want you tell me the information I have given up on that. Just tell me why something that you know is so important to the most feared mafias because we have everything" I asked her

"Trust me when I say. If Christopher and Tyson's son know about it instead of presidents and monarchies it will be mafias ruling the world" she said

"Oh. I don't want that to happen. The outer world is a beauty. I lived in London for almost a decade in a different identity. I surely don't want everything to be guns and drugs but I am born into this as the heir. I need to take responsibility of our mafia but I want it to stay this way" I said to her and she listened to attentively, after I finished she stroke my hair and gave me a small smile

"See, that's why I am risking my life for all those other millions" she said softly. I cleared my throat and got up ready to leave. I got out of the cell and locked the door

"Trust me when I say Linda, you are a courageous soul. Even if I can't help you, lord surely will" I smiled softly at her and got out of the dungeon. Rethinking every life choices I made. Every kill, every deal and every betrayal. That night I took the decision to rethink the purpose of my birth until I get the truth I am satisfied with.

I was walking up the stairs when I collided with someone

"Jane?"

"Keith?"

"What are you doing here?" Keith asked

"Coming home. You?" I replied

"Nothing" he answered

"I want the truth" I demanded

"Come with me then" he said

"One question. Why are we here? In front of a old and dingy apartment building?" I asked as he drove me for quite a long time making me dizzy and making me throw up in the middle of the road but I didn't damage the car

"You'll see" he answered
