THE GOLDEN FAMILY HEIR

CHAPTER 2: THE GOLDEN FAMILY HEIR

" Mr. Giovanni Smith? " They called and Giovanni’s brows twitched into a frown. He raised his hand up for identification and two cops walked to him with a handcuffs.

" You are under arrest for drug trafficking, money laundering, embezzlement and abuse of authority. You have the right to remain silent or whatever you say or do will be used against you in the court of law. " Giovanni went dumbstruck immediately as he was cuffed, not understanding a thing that’s going on.

He looked around and met his wife smiling face; " Bye-bye, husby! Enjoy the rest of your worthless life in jail. " It was as if Giovanni was having the worst nightmare of his life. His mouth went heavy that instant as he felt his heart burn. Sweats from nowhere covered him as he watch the wide smile on the family’s lips as they watch the cops drag him away like he’s some sort of an animal who’s going in for butchery.

He kept looking back, his eyes glued at no one but his wife. He thought he’s seen it all as being the poorest guy in Golden City but his wife betraying him and tossing him out like this is what he has never think of. Florence cares only about him. She has never for once said something negative to him before.

She has been the best thing that has ever happened to him. The expression on her face glued to his head, refusing to leave as it kept popping up every minute. Does he really deserve all these? For their own son to not go to jail, they had to drag him into the mess, putting all blame on him.

He still doesn’t understand what all this is all about but he’s sure there’s a misunderstanding somewhere. He remained silent as he was dragged into the van and was drove out of the vicinity. He looked down at the cuffs in his hands and a soft chuckle escaped his lips. Could this be a nightmare?

" Woah…he’s even smiling! Well, your minutes are numbered… " A cop said and the other ones just smile as they all kept staring at him with some mixed expression.

" To be honest, how can you be so cruel to the extent of giving the kid as a bait? " A cop asked but Giovanni didn’t even respond to him. He just kept starting at nothing in particular as the memories of how he’s lived his life came flushing through his head. if being poor is a way of dying, he’d have been six feet down.

He just remember waking up somewhere and that’s how his journey began. He’s always working his ass off but few bucks will be all he’ll get in return. His life were no different when he met the Gilbert’s head of family which is their grandfather. He took him in and took care of him, got him married to his daughter and lack nothing till he finally left.

The day the old man died, that was when his suffering has started. He knew the family didn’t like him from the actual beginning but what was that? Is it even worth getting rid of him? he was dragged down the van and that was when it hit him hard that he wasn’t dreaming. It’s really happening to him.

He looked around and saw flashes of camera and many reporters, some taking pictures while some were taking videos. They hovered around them in no minute and start asking questions;

" Tell us! What really happened? is the accusation true? did you really try using Mr. David Gilbert as a bait for your criminal acts? " Giovanni was confused. Is this what they told the reporters.

" Mr. Giovanni Smith! You’re accused of money laundering, embezzlement, drug trafficking, abuse of authority and illegal trafficking, do you accept all these charges you are accused off? " Giovanni finally looked up after hearing that again. this is getting him frustrated. How can they accuse of all those when he actually did nothing.

When he couldn’t take it anymore, he yelled furiously; " I didn’t do anything! I’m innocent!!! " The cops hit him hard on his back and he almost fell due to the how hard the hit was. He was forcefully dragged in and immediately thrown into a cell where there are two hefty men.

Immediately the cell was locked, the two hefty men surrounded him and before he could process what’s going on, they started throwing punches at him, they gave him the hardest beating of his life and when they noticed he was almost out of breath, they now let him off.

He went unconscious immediately and when he opened his eyes, he couldn’t help but wonder what he’s really done wrong to deserve all that… everything went so fast, the trial, the case hearing and the sentence.

he stepped out of the van with two cops forcefully dragging him out. His face and body is in a brutal shape due to the beatings and he looked around as every eyes of all jailers there in the prison yard fell on them. Never in his life has he ever thought he’d be visiting a place like this, not to talk of being sentenced there.

He was given the prison vest and was taken inside. Instead of taking him into his prison, he was pushed into a room where there are many scary men, ogling at him. They gestured him to come closer but he didn’t dare move. Does he even have the strength to? they all approached him and one pierced his burning cigar on his cheek, making him scream in pains.

He’s been trying to cry all these while but no tears came. He thought if this thugs beatings are enough, maybe, tears will fall from his eyes.

Then, he mumbled slowly; " Please, kill me! just kill me. " They all looked t each other and burst out laughing loudly.

" Woah! What a courageous move there… well! You ask for it. " Afterwards, he was dragged to where they were sitting. One of them tied a rope for hanging and got down. Then, they placed him on a container before putting the rope over his head. they pushed the container away from his leg immediately and his eyes widen.

" You asked for it buddy! " One of them clattered and they all laughed amusingly like it’s the best thing they’ve ever done.

" Nghh… hnc… Ahh.. Pl…ea..se.. Do.. n.. n’t.. " The rope was tightening around his neck so much that he’s already feeling his lungs running out of breath. One of them ran to the back and pulled the rope hard, strangling him really hard with it. Tears finally fell from Giovanni’s eyes as he finally breathe his last.

The door to where they were went ajar as five warders rushed in.

" Where is the boss ?! " They asked, yelling loudly and the group of people all stare at them in confusion.

" What do you mean by boss ? " One of them, who seem to be the leader asked and the next reply shocked them;

" The man that was brought in here is the Golden family heir!!! "
