CHAPTER 01: THE PHONE CALL
Laughter spilled through the door, shaking the quiet of the hallway. I paused, my hand hovering over the knob, drawn in by the infectious joy coming from my daughters’ room. My plan had been to wait downstairs for my wife, but their giggles pulled me in like a magnet, grounding me in the moment.Their carefree voices were a welcome contrast to the growing silence that had settled between my wife and me these past few months. Hesitation melted into curiosity as I leaned closer, shamelessly eavesdropping. Khadijat, my fiery four-year-old in sky-blue pajamas, was the ringleader as always, her commanding tone and dramatic hand gestures setting the stage for another animated tale.“This girl, Rajiv, thinks she’s the boss of everything,” Khadijat exclaimed. “She’s always showing off, especially when that new blonde boy is around. They think he’s the cutest in the class, but he looks like a monkey!”Amira’s laughter erupted, clear and bright. “A monkey, Dija? That’s terrible!” she teased, th

Climbing the stairs, Akashi hesitated at the entrance of the library. A knot tightened in his stomach, a familiar reaction to his father's unpredictable mood. He stood motionless in the hallway, attempting to compose himself. Taking a deep breath, he knocked firmly on the door. The sound echoed through the silent corridor, met only by more silence. Undeterred, he knocked again, and then again.His shoulders sagged as he turned to leave, the weight of anticipation heavy on him."Who the hell is that?!" Hakimi's voice thundered from within, with irritation."Dinner is served. Or was served hours ago" He called out, his voice tinged with nervousness."Fine!" The dismissal came swiftly, leaving Akashi with a mixture of relief and apprehension. What the hell was going on with his father. He came home so angry, only to yell at Amira for a minor stuff and ignore Dija when she ealled out to him to read her a bedtime story. He was certain Dija won't let him get away tomorrow. And now he had re

As Hakimi saw the message, his stomach tightened, and a cold wave of dread washed over him. His hands trembled slightly as he opened it, the screen's glow illuminating his tired face.Riqqo: Two months are up, brother. Time to pay up. Or should I remind you what happens when promises are broken?Hakimi let out a shaky sigh, his pulse quickening. He had ignored Riqqo's warnings, brushing them off as his brother's usual bluster. He's my brother. What's the worst he could do? But now, the threats were starting to feel all too real. Riqqo didn't really didn't mean all this did he? He had asked him for a year deadline not two months. Gosh... this greedy cow! Hakimi cursed as he shoved the phone inside his pocket fiercely............ Four months ago ......It was when Amira had gotten seriously and he needed money for her blood transfusion, during that particularly dark time for Hakimi and his household. His savings had run dry, his house bills began piling up, and the pressure of providin

Akashi leaned against the kitchen counter, his arms folded as he watched Irah, he could not help but grin at the kids nervousness. He nervously sip from his glass. Khadija was busy teasing him mercilessly."So, Irah, Khadija grinned, her eyes gleaming with mischief. Was this your first time seeing a princess turn into a prom queen?"Irah laughed nervously, his gaze darting to Amira, who was busy brushing cookie crumbs off Khadija's sweater "I guess you could say that. Your sister looks breath taking""Guess? Khadija teased, leaning forward dramatically. Admit it! You were totally mesmerized. I saw you staring at her like she was a shooting star! You almost drolled"Alright, Dija, that's enough," Amira interjected, her cheeks blooming red."She's just saying what we're all thinking, Akashi chimed in, his usual protective demeanor softening for a moment. You looked great tonight, Amira." he complimented her

BLOODLINE CHRONICLE: A MAFIA FATHER'S JOURNEY CHAPTER 18: A MORNING TO REMEMBER
The soft morning light filtered through the curtains as Akashi gently knocked on his father's bedroom door. Peeking in, he saw Hakimi lying on his side, with Khadija snuggled close to him, her small frame wrapped in a blanket. Her thumb was tucked in her mouth, and her soft breathing filled the room. Akashi couldn't help but smile. The sight of his father and baby sister at peace warmed his heart.Shutting the door quietly, he descended the stairs, his footsteps light on the wooden floor. In the kitchen, he set to work, pulling out ingredients for breakfast. The scent of eggs, freshly sliced bread, and vegetables filled the air. As he cracked an egg into a bowl, memories of the past few months flooded his mind-their struggles, the risky decisions, and the triumph of seeing Amira healthy again."Good morning, Chef Akashi," Amira's cheerful voice broke through his thoughts.Turning around, he saw her standing in the doorway, her waist-length hair cascading over her shoulders. She wore a

BLOODLINE CHRONICLE: A MAFIA FATHER'S JOURNEY CHAPTER 17: HOPE AND CELEBRATION
The hospital corridor buzzed with faint activity. The shuffle of nurses, the hum of distant monitors, and the murmur of families exchanging worried glances. Hakimi and Akashi sat outside Amira's ward, each lost in their thoughts. The sharp smell of disinfectant stung Hakimi's nose, a grim reminder of the many times he had been in such places, only for his loved one that was wheeled inside the surgery ward not to come out alive. First victim was his mother, aunty then his wife. As the memory flooded his mind, cold chills ran down his spine.He pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. Beside him, Akashi was anything but still. His legs bounced nervously, his fingers drumming against his knees. After what felt like an eternity, Akashi stood abruptly and began pacing."Dad, he said, his voice tinged with frustration, we've been sitting here for three hours. Is this how long it's supposed to take? What's going on in there? I terribly want to know"Hakimi leaned back against the cold benc

The night was pitch-black, the faint moonlight barely piercing through the heavy clouds above. Hakimi, Akashi, Zafir and few men sat crammed into the back of a nondescript truck, its interior dimly lit by a single bulb hanging from the roof. The air was tense, filled with the quiet hum of the engine and the occasional rattle of loose metal.Hakimi glanced at Akashi, who sat rigidly, gripping a gun tightly in his trembling hands. The weight of the weapon seemed to sink into his lap, as though the gravity of the situation had finally settled on his shoulders.Hakimi leaned closer to his son, his voice low but steady. "Akashi... listen to me. I should've never let this happen. I should've kept you out of this mess."Akashi looked at his father, his expression a mixture of fear and determination. "We don't have a choice, Dad. Amira needs us. We'll get through this."Hakimi sighed, his hand gripping Akashi's shoulder. "You shouldn't be here. You're too young for this life."Zafir, who sat
