Thirty-Two

*

"He has left" A man not older than eighteen who had served him as his master told Nathaniel who smiled in triumph.

He was going to get what he wanted....he would kill her and take what was his. He picked his phone from his table and was about to call someone when he heard a knock on the door.

And then it opened.

"Mr. Maxwell, oh what a surprise! And i see you brought Justin with you" Nathaniel smiled as he crossed his hands on the table, emitting a dark and cold aura.

"N...nathaniel?" Justin, who was surprised at seeing Nathaniel asked, still looking at him in utter confusion.

Nathaniel was one of the guys he never ever wanted to go along with. The guy was always too mysteriously quiet. But now, seeing him sitting in his chair, he could not believe Nathaniel was the person they had come to meet.

"Father?"

"Meet Nathaniel, people regardless him as the Mafia King" Mr. Maxwell said as he watched his son's reaction.

But Justin was more than surprised. Nathaniel was the Mafia King?

He had heard stories of him but he never knew he was living among them.....even attending the same school as him. No wonder he was very mysterious.

"I am surprised" Justin said as he looked at Nathaniel up and down.

"I know you will be. Have a seat"

"Why are you after her?" Justin asked, not taking his offer of sitting down. He wanted to know because he knew there was something fishy. Why will a Mafia King be after a little time teenager?

"I am trying to help you Justin. Crystal is going to make you miserable"

"That was not my question"

"She was the cause of your mother's death"

"I don't care"

"And she is planning to take your current mother away as well" He said as he smirked.

"Crystal would never do that. And besides, my mother is far away from here. There is no way Crystal would ever kill someone"

"As they say, seeing is believing. I won't make any requests till you see it for yourself and then we can talk"

"If you are planning anything...."

"Trust me i am not"

"I am leaving. When you are ready, meet me in the car father. I cant stand another minute in this room" Justin said as he stood up and walked out of the room.

"I will give you an offer Nathaniel. Leave the girl for now. Let us wait till after she is done with her schooling"

"That is not possible. I cannot wait any longer"

"My son is going to marry her later in the future as i had assured him and he is going to get her wealth for himself. You will be given your share"

"I don't have plans of waiting any longer"

"Fine! You take it all"

"Good"

Justin put his hands in his pockets and stared at the door one last time. So this was what they were after.

That means Crystal had something they wanted.

He walked away before his father came out of the room. He had to come in with something.

🌺

Crystal walked the lonely path, not knowing where she was going. She had done to the library to study but when she came out that night, she thought she saw someone who looked like Justin.

She ran and followed him into the path she was in. And now, she was lost.

It didn't take her time before she spotted a lying figure in the middle of the road. She walked and knelt down, looking at a beautiful woman who had been killed and battered. A tear ran down her cheek as she picked the woman up, wanting to help her.

But she was far from gone.

Crystal got up and walked back, her hands and body covered in blood.

Just like how she it has happened years ago.

She closed her eyes, hurting because of what she had remembered.

Not seeing a shadow in the woods who cried when he saw what she had done.

She had killed her.

He turned and walked into the woods, not even bothering to turn back and help carry his mother.

He entered his car and drove away, hurting as he drove faster than he should have. Right then, the man he was before was gone.

If the woman he loved killed his mother, then there was no chance for love anymore.

His heart was as hard as stone.....no emotions.

As hard as steel.

A new man was born that night.

A monster.

He drove and didn't stop till he reached the mansion. He packed his things and walked out of the house without telling his father. He made his way for his new school.

It was only a matter of time.

He would get his revenge.

He didn't care anymore.

Right then, she was his enemy.

And he would make her suffer.
