The man with Black Heart

Episode 10 : De Venta's Fort

Javad arrived before the large hospital and alighted. He quickly walk into the hall, avoiding the media who had thousands of questions.

When he gets to the room where Aurora was he sigh softly but didn't get to work immediately.

He could see in the room some of Chen's clan who had arrived out of concern.

" I hate you Javad. I hate you so much. I wish you could drop dead and never rise again " He heard Aurora saying bitterly but he shrugged.

" Beg Aurora. Beg me to help you "

Anahita walks in at that moment in surprise.

" Javad you gets what you wanted. help her right away! "

" What will it hurt if you both swallow your damn pride and say please! " He retorted hotly.

Never had anyone seen him so angry. The Chen clan who is present quickly backed off to a corner and Anahita sagged her shoulder but was still glaring.

" You said I am nothing like my father. Hell, why would I have to be like him? " He asked Aurora angrily.

" I won't be like a man who trusted you, hypocrites as his family. He will surely be rolling in his grave when you chase off his people out of their rightful home.

" Do you think my policy, my rules, and regulations will be the same as my father's?

" Who told you Javad is the same as de Venta? "

He gulped down then turn to Aurora and folded his hands to his chest.

" You want me to treat you? Then Beg for my help. Beg for it! "

Tears welled up in Aurora's eyes and she nodded.

" You won. Please Javad, help me "

" Say it out loud "

" Please Javad," She said a little aloud. " Help me, damn it! I am losing so much blood "

He stares at the dying lady for a long time then walks towards her. He leans over to say softly.

" I'd ask for you to be my slave but come to think of it, you are my slaves already. You work for me. Your descendants will all work for mine.

" For the rest of Chen Clan's life, you will have to deal with the law for the de Ventas "

A soft breath escaped Anahita's lips at these words and she shoved back tears.

Javad de Venta finally began the surgery. He sent everyone out but Anahita wouldn't Leave.

She said something about being worried but the truth is she never wanted to leave her sister alone with him.

' He is dangerous. He is different. He is sadistic and angry at everything and everyone except his clan ' She thought to herself.

After a very long time Javad pulled off his gloves and made to walk out but Anahita stopped him with a question.

" Will she survive? "

He turn slowly to stare at the lady who had asked the question blankly.

" Her hatred for me will make her survive "

He walk out without waiting for her response and then met with Cassius in the waiting hall.

They both walk to the car at the underground garage and drove out under the afternoon sky.

" Don't be so silent. What is it? " Javad asked his consigliere who keeps so mute.

" I was shocked this morning Javad. I can't believe you will behave so mean to the Chen clan "

" Why won't I? They abandoned my people in the past "

" Chen's clan is the most important one in the Mafia organization. Without them, all of us will be sent to jail. We still do our unholy business you know "

" Point of correction Cassius. Chen's clan was most important when my father was still breathing.

" Now I am back and I am angry, unforgiving. My rules and regulations will be different and strict.

" No one will dare try to cheat or be a traitor "

Cassius could see Javad's eyes sparkling with rage when he was saying this.

Unconsciously he thanked his stars for being on Javad's good side.

" Boss the de Ventas arrived at the fort hours ago. Frezno called to say they have cleaned it all "

Javad didn't reply to this. Instead, he looks out to the window and inhales the fresh air.

The truth is he is paranoid. It has been twelve years and months since he left the fort.

The place where all his pleasant memories were installed. When Cassius close in on the fort Javad made a strange request.

" Can I walk from here? I feel suffocated in this car "

Cassius who knows Javad so much and understands him stopped the car for him to alight.

He watched as Javad continues on foot and he drove beside him. Not too fast or slow.

The path to the fort was such a lonely beautiful one. The road was without a speck and the fort is ahead.

At last, they got to the very massive gate that no one could ever penetrate or escape from.

The gate was opened majestically and Javad walks in while Cassius drove in.

He stopped in the doorway to look up at the massive house. The Jaw-dropping building de Venta has erected by himself.

He built the house, brought together the lonely people to it and they call it home. De Venta's fort.

Javad marched forward but his legs were heavy. The moment he stepped on the pavement, goosebumps welcome his skin.

The people now troop in from different angles. The hall ahead was so long that it disappears from his sight.

Javad walks up to the spiral staircase and the upper floor. There he enters the spacious living room.

His heart made to burst when he saw everywhere still intact.

" Your room has been arranged boss, " One of the men says and he headed to it.

The second hall was for the boss alone so it was Empty. He walks slowly to the room which was built solely for the Mafia boss and he pushed open the door.

Though Javad didn't step in, he feel so much at home. His wracking nerves were soothed and he smiles at last.

" Boss your office. It's ready too " Cassius said behind him but Javad shook his head as he turn to him.

" Cassius I got something important to do at first before stepping into that office. I know there won't be a going back once I sat on my father's seat "

Just after Javad finished saying these words Frezno rushes in.

" Boss Daniel Duke is here to see you. We haven't opened the fort's gate though. What is your say? "

A sigh escaped Javad's lips at this and he walk to the window and peer out.

" I have been expecting him. Of course, let him come in "
