Chapter 6

Michael bent forward to observe,

"Bravo....!!"

"I can't believe this... you are amazing.....!!"

"ha...ha....ha....."

Michael jumped out of excitement, he was so happy as if he just got a winning lottery ticket...

Steven stood silently as he couldn't understand why he was so happy, each achievement in his life came with a dangerous experience,

He remembers the day he joined the army, his commander was making them kneel on the rocks just to make them feel the life ahead is not easy... the training will not be simple.

It was a door of hell that was opened to them. They were dragged to the mountains, running for hours just as a part of training.

He remembers the first time he touched the gun, he was so excited that his soul quivered in excitement,

But on the first mission, the very first mission of his life, when he was forced to face those notorious criminals, his excitement turned to a nightmare as he has to kill someone, it was his duty though,

Life made him learn everything step by step, being a commando, or now being a ruthless man.

Michael came near him and clenched his both hands on Steven's shoulders,

"I want a man like you, as brave, as courageous as I was"

Steven looked straight into his eyes, Michael added...

"Join me.... be my man"

He extended his hand for Steven to catch it, Steven's mind was in a maze now...

Is this the right choice?

Will I be able to take revenge?

Is this my chance?

He was hesitant because he had been the best soldier for seven years,

will it be changing his spirit?

When his inner soul fought with his mind, his hatred of being betrayed, that anger of being killed, win over him and he extended his hand to get hold of the chance of the darkness.

He joined Michael's gang, not a common member, Michael was so obsessed with him that he made him the Beta of his gang.

He was like a right hand for Michael.

He was now bestowed with all sorts of superfluous luxuries, that no one else can have.

Any stuff he points out will be at his foot, no matter if it may be a building or a woman, anything.

In return he has to do only one thing, killing, killing and killing.

But was that easy for him?

To kill someone he never met before, to kill someone who doesn't know why he was being killed. It was not easy, every time he kills someone he feels a throbbing pain in his heart.

And to ease his mind he goes to a place, the only place for him where he feels humanity is still alive, that bench where he used to sleep when he was homeless, near that companion, the old dumb lady who bought him bread every time he comes.

It had been six months that he was busy in his new world of blood and darkness.

One night when he was sleeping in his luxurious bed in a seven-star hotel room,

he felt something creeping onto him, that thing crawled onto him, holding his hands, he couldn't move, maybe because the drink he had just now with Michael was spiked,

He wasn't able to see who that was in the dark but it was a lady, she kissed his neck and then on his cheek, and came near to his ears and whispered into it,

"Kill him and everything will be yours, you will be the king, and I'll help you with this"

Steven opened his eyes widely, that voice,

" Jessica....!"

he pushed her off him and got up trembling,

she fell yelling,

" You jerk....!!"

got up like a lioness eagerly waiting to take revenge on jumped on him with her nails pointing at his neck, he dodged her and wrapped her in the blanket,

" Jessica... are you drunk? what's wrong with you?"

he asked in confusion,

"Do I look like a drunk to you? I am serious"

he Panicked, though their field was full of hate, blood, and murders, he was loyal, he could never even think of cutting the hand that feeds him,

" You have gone crazy, let's go to the boss, he'll deal with you"

He yelled shaking his head to get out of the dizziness, but she begged him,

"no....!! he'll kill me, don't do that, I'll give you anything,"

he gritted his teeth with anger and yelled at her holding the blanket even tighter, which was making her choke.

"Shut up, I can never imagine, I want nothing from an ungrateful bitch like you"

Suddenly the door opened and Michael rushed in,

"Leave her Steven...Leave her"

He commanded, Steven loosened his grip,

Jessica freed herself and ran to Michael,

Steven was confused about what had just happened,

Michael continued,

"you never stop making me surprised"

haha, ha... he laughed loudly and came near and looked at Jessica,

"You lost darling, you lost the bet, go back to do what you promised"

Jessica slammed her feet on the ground glaring at Steven, with her resentful gaze of hers, and went out,

Steven was still confused,

" What is all this boss?"

he exclaimed as he was unable to understand anything that was going on there,

" You are the one I have been waiting for.. "

he said holding his shoulder,

Steven looked into his eyes,

" I am yours, I work for you then what is the difference, didn't you trust me all this while?"

He reasoned, Michael chuckled,

" you were my man, but now you are my son, my heir," he said nodding his head affectionately,

Steven was shocked, it was just six months that he started working for him,

How could he trust me with all his assets?

it may be another test for me.

Steven was dazed by the maze of the words he heard just now,

no not possible...!!

impossible...!!

it can't be true....!!

I can't be this lucky anyway...!

He stared at Micheal's eyes to find traces of jokes that he couldn't find.

Realizing his shock, Michael tried explaining,

" I don't have a family, my boy... I had one but I lost it... when I was at death bed, I gave my only son to my watchman, but I don't even know if he was dead or alive"

he walked softly ahead and stood holding the chair in front of him, then continued,

" I lost them, and now I want one to burden my assets, my empire, there was one, but he was not loyal, " he turned around to face Steven,

" the test I just make Jessica do for you I did it to him as well, and he didn't hesitate to accept her offer"

Michael sat on the chair as a high sigh left his mouth,

" It's hard to find a loyal son these days my boy, will you be my son?"

It was unbelievable for Steven,

Was that a dream just now?

It can't be true, is it?

he was still confused, he was homeless six months back, but now he is the son of a Billionaire,

is it possible?

His maze vanished as Michael patted his back,

" Don't you want to accept this felon old man as your father, my son?" he asked in a saddened voice.

Steven held his hand,

" I would love to, father " he answered...
