Chapter 12: Damon

I am a disguised being in person, nobody things that I can be able to replace my father's position as the mafia Lord. I am a gentleman that has always been the way I am since I was born but that doesn't mean that I am innocent. my appearance and behaviour can deceive a person who was asked to come check out on me, I gave everyone chance everybody is safe around me for them actually but for me, I am a lion waiting to pounce on its prey. when my dad was around or can I say alive he always sent both me and my brother on illegal missions and we always carry it out though his own was always brutal but mine was always clean.

Whenever we are being sent to carry out a deal he must make sure that there will be a killing between him and the opposition but for me I seem to be a good businessman if only the opposite traders are ready for business, if they want a fight I am always ready to satisfy them with the quantity they want. it just turns out that my father trusted me more to do business for him than my brother, he always returns with news of bloodshed while I do the bloodshed when required in a gentleman's way actually.

Seems funny though, most of my fathers followers underestimated me and they still do but my father has always been the one backing me up because he seems to understand me. violence is not always the answer to everything but you must always be ready for violence when it cost for it, the work of the Mafia is to settle disputes between criminals and make sure that everything is set in place, my father also take actions on extortion, murder, sexual immorality and other stuff too but yet family is his priority.

He never jokes with us despite our mother being the opposite of him. for him the best gift you gave to us was trying to make himself a mutant which also turned to us, it seems like he has already gotten everything he wants, he was the leader of the gang groups around our town but still he wants more power so he decided to make himself a mutant before he even get married to our mother.

After we was given birth to our own mutation took place. Ryan can read minds and also see what people has seen on the past but for me my case was different, my eyes keep changing colour like something that is being controlled or operated by someone with a remote, I can't even control the colours of my eyes or do I know the purpose for them, instead it became a disadvantage for me to the fact that I can't even keep secrets.

My father came to know the meaning of the colours of my eye that he knows whatever that is going through my mind. my brother find it very hard to read my mind he doesn't know how to get past my mind but my eyes do all those works for him though he kept trying his best to do it by himself. I became a transparent book for my family members, they knows when I am saying the truth or telling lies when I am angry or sad or happy, they knew me back and front but my father trusted in me and my power he always believe that one day I would discover the power of my eyes yet that day has never come till now but I believe that made me the person I am today that made me to be so understanding and calm with a lot of patience maybe that's why my father decided to choose me over my senior brother Ryan.

My mother always cherished Ryan as an egg, she trusted him much more than me. I can't hide secret for her but Ryan can she does things that my father wouldn't support of, whenever I tried to tell Dad about her actions they more hate I got from her. I have always been the bad apple she gave birth to, welding a useless power which is of no use to anybody, I have always envied Ryan since we was little kids because of the importance of his power but now I have gotten comfortable on my own skin and have decided to love myself for who I am.

My father's followers has always loved Ryan to be the successor of Dad but things can't get done the way they need because I am still alive and my dad pronounced me as his successor before he died, that has being the key reason why Ryan wants me dead.

It has been few minutes ago that I just left my room I am almost downstairs now, I wanted to leave the hostel entirely to find somewhere I can have a breathing space and think about the situation I am in right now. everywhere was in the state of pandemonium because almost all the students were flocking around the premises of the hostel having a conversation with their fellow students, some were just joking around others was completely making noise around the hostel.

" Well well well look who we got here, Damon son of Tyler The Mafia Lord ", I turned around to see who just called my name and also the name of my father right behind me but I saw the last person I expected to know my name. " good afternoon sir, seems to like you are here to meet Cleo again ", I said out of shock I never knew how Cleopatra's uncle came to know my name maybe Cleo has already told him about me but I never told Cleo who my father was so I don't know how her uncle came to know much more about me I was still looking at him still taken aback by what just happened right now, he wasn't smiling at me seems like he was really serious and a bit angry by the way he looks at me right now, I don't think he is here to see Cleo right now.

" Was Cleo the one who gave you all this information about me ", I asked him in surprise, this means that it is either that Cleo is working for Ryan or her uncle is the one working for Ryan. " sorry to disappoint you kid but I work for your father or can I say that your father was our leader, he was always the one in charge of all the drug dealers around the City, I am a little bit surprised that you don't remember me despite me always been present at your home whenever I am there to meet with your father, you and your brother Ryan has always been a great potential to take over your father but that is not the reason I am here right now.

" I came to warn you never you ever stay with my niece again, I don't want to ever see both of you together, your presence near her is a lot of danger to her, I don't know what is going on between you two but whatever it is I urge you to stop it for her safety, I know the problems going on at your home right now your brother searching all around for you just to kill you but that is not part of my business because I broke ties with your family since your father's death, so I want you to do so with my niece for her safety, it is not a command it is a request please understand ",

Cleopatra's uncle pleaded to me, right now I was still taken aback by what he just said and how he come to know me, so her uncle is also a drug dealer that worked under My Father when he was alive. that means he was also part of those who decided not to follow my brother Ryan in his journey for the leader of the city.

Seems like his uncle remember me completely and what I can do he knows that I can't be bossed around by anybody he also knows that I have always been a killer throughout my life and also a businessman that's why he decided to plead with me and not command me to leave Cleopatra. that doesn't mean that I should just cut him off like that, I have to make sure to know where his loyalty lies. " so are you into support of Ryan or against him ".

I wanted to make sure that I am safe around him, " I have never liked Ryan though I am impressed that he leads like your father but I see him as much of a person that takes action than a person that sit down to think ", that was a great answer at least right now he is not the person I should be hiding from but I also don't think that's my secret will be safe with him.
