2.0 miles apart

The club was filled with smell of wines and different mix of perfumes as Zayan walked up to an elevator taking him directly to the vip lounge of the club. His handsome face was indescribable as his ink colored eyes stared at nothing in particular, the only emotion one can read from his eyes on a closer look is sadness.

Today was the third day his parent met their end in a well planned ghastly motor accident, they just arrived the city after being away for a two weeks vacation arranged by their oldest son Zayan. They arrived the airport with many men in black suit tailing behind them in an aligned style and helping them walk freely through the bustling crowd with no other contact from other humans till they arrived the black sedan for them.

The distance from the airport to their mansion was about an hour drive so the husband and wife duo engaged in a serious talk.

"Zayan really put in a lot for this vacation, I know it's something we should expect from him but seeing him only treating us, his family alone with this much care but treats others as pest is disheartening. How do he meet his soul mate with this kind of aloofness." Mrs Carmill discerned her worries for her son.

Hayan Carmill placed his hand on her lower back to comfort her "that's what is expected of him as a leader of one the biggest mafia group in country z, he shouldn't lower his guards for unnecessary things to avoid any misfortune or so, I already briefed him on my decision about disbanding our mafia group. I just hope he believes in me and follow the right part while focusing on the company." He said as worry edged his face for a moment.

"I've always said this is an unnecessary way of guarding our family but you only listened to yourselve as you created a sinful organization and now my beloved son has picked on it. I know the bad things you guys do there but me keeping quiet which you forced me to is the worst decision and action I've ever made in my life. I just hope Zayan understands, even if it'd be very hard for us to convince him. I bet he can't see his mom kneel for him while crying and begging him to only face the company."

"No you can't do that, there are other ways to go about it and I've already start the process while we were away, I already contacted creole that I don't want any more contracts sent to the organization as I already informed him on my decision to obliterate all our hideouts concealing this from everyone even Zayan."

"Another thing I want to tell you is.." Hayyan said as he glanced at his wife with guilt.

"What are you hiding from me, thought we were over keeping secrets, first you kept a secret of you involved in a sinful organization from me for years and now.." she huffed as she stares at Hayyan with a trace of sadness and anger.

"I didn't mean to keep secrets from you but I just have to do that to safeguard my family, I know making that decision back then was a very big mistake of mine but it has happened and the only thing I can do about it is to destroy the organization."

"You also know I would never do anything without thinking it through and I also know the bad company I associated with made me like this and seriously if not for the company my father started building and I succeeded in moulding it this high, You know there would be nothing more to rely on."

"You know I did what I did to get my inheritance and to fight for you guys, ofcourse I know the way I took in achieving that is sinful. But what is started in that world can't end unless the agreement is dissolved."

Anam listened to him without uttering a word as she finally asked after he paused."So what is the secret ?" She asked

"Please forgive me for this but what I didn't mention to you is Zayan's unwillingness to accept the mafia crown. I forced him into it by blackmailing him with all the insecurities we would have if he refuses, I even told him that.." He looked away from his wife."..that they threaghtened me with your life if he refuses. I know I'm a despicable father which brought the bridge between us but all I want is for you guys to be safe."

"This decision of mine, I know may cost my life but a life taken is better than lives taken. Me annihilating my organization will cause enmity between all the other groups I work with and our enemies will also have a reason to attack us was why I already told Creole to start the process when we were away. By this time they would be on our trail"

"Even these bodyguards we rented may not go unscathed. My biggest regret is not able to protect my family properly, I know I thought creating that would protect us, but I was wrong. Forgive me for this Amani." He said, a tear dropping from his eyes as he glanced at the mirror of the car.

The driver was oblivious to their discussion as he is well informed and also he is their personal driver, he just continue driving calmly even when his face was edge with worry, but not fear.

Hayyan already presumed the impending danger they're in only that it came too soon than he expected.He's sure his enemies would find a way to take him down, which was why he planned a lot for his two sons.

He picks his phone and sent a message before looking at his tearful wife.

"I know this is the sacrifice we have to make for our sons as you've said but I just hope your devised plan is very strong to safeguard our sons." Amani asked while looking at her husband.

"My plan should safeguard my sons coupled with the fact that Zayan is a strong child, I'm sure he can handle the rest as I don't think time would permit us to do so and also the fact that I kept their face hidden. I'm sure non of my underworld clients knows my sons. I just hope they'd be safe after this." He deduced while glancing looking at his wife in a knowing look."All I want now is to rest in your arms as I feel there's no much time for us." He said while resting his weight on his wife's shoulder as he made a video call.
