Avenge Your Father’s Death

Jonas shook his head lightly, refusing to believe the sight in front of him. It just could not be true. His Belinda could not have been the one kissing another man. Ditto for that matter!

“Be… Belinda.” His voice wrecked with pains as he called out her name.

“Jonas.” Ditto groaned out Jonas’s name, pulling back Jonas’s attention to him.

“You bastard!” Jonas yelle, feeling even more weakened by what he had just seen.

“What the hell is going on here, Bel?” Jonas turned to face Belinda who had lowered her face to the floor in embarrassment.

“What were you doing with him, Bel?!” Jonas cried out even louder and moved closer to get to Belinda.

“Was he forcing you? Was he forcefully kissing you, Belinda? Was…”

“Jonas.” Belinda slowly raised her head up. She had no idea what she was supposed to say to Jonas after seeing him again in this kind of situation.

“You are… You are with him now?” Jonas’s eyes filled up with tears and his voice cracked as he tried to get a grip on himself.

“Enough, Jonas. You are scaring her.” Ditto got in front of Belinda and Jonas’s eyes turned furious.

“You bastard!” Jonas grabbed Ditto by the collars and punched his face.

Ditto groaned but didn’t return the punch.

“I won’t beat up a man who is already as weak as you are at the moment.”

“No! Do it! Fucking do it, Ditto! Beat me up as much as you want. What you did back at your boss’s place isn’t enough. Do more! Break every bone I have but don’t mess with Belinda!” Jonas cried out.

“Let go.” Ditto grunted and jerked Jonas’s hands off.

“Belinda.” Jonas called. He only needed her to tell him that Ditto had forced her to do this but Belinda looked away, turning to face the wall instead.

“Belinda!” Jonas reached his hand forth to get a hold of Belinda but Ditto grabbed his hand.

“I kissed her and she kissed me back. Is that what you want to hear?” Ditto asked.

“Ditto. I don’t know what has happened while I was away but Belinda is mine! She is fucking mine and I won’t let you take her away from me.”

“Can the both of you…. Please leave?” Belinda finally spoke up. She wanted to be alone to be able to think things out properly.

“Bel.”

“Linda.”

The two men shot each other glares before returning their gaze to Belinda.

“Please, the both of you should leave for now.” Belinda begged.

“Belinda, please talk to….”

“You heard her. She needs some time alone” Ditto cut Jonas off.

“I will see you later.” he whispered to Belinda, annoying Jonas the more.

Jonas wished he was physically fine at the moment because he wanted nothing more than to punch Ditto to his death at the moment.

With his heart aching and his eyes barely holding back the tears in them, he turned and walked out of the living room. He rushed over to his car and got into the driver’s seat. He rested his head on the wheel of the car, his fists clenching badly.

He had only been apart from Belinda for a while and all these while, he had tried his best to protect her. He had set out to find Mireille with renewed vigor because he did not want Mark to harm Belinda. He had given Dante Romano the information because he wanted her alive and safe.

“I love her. I really do.” he groaned and punched the wheel.

“How could Ditto do this?!” He gritted his teeth as he looked over to the side and saw Ditto get into the car beside him.

The two men glared at each other for a while before Ditto drove off.

Jonas however remained in the car. He had no reason to go home while his heart was in there, with Belinda. He badly wanted to see her and have her explain things to him because it just didn’t add up for her to be in any sort of relationship with Ditto.

She had been kidnapped by Ditto, right? And she had only been released this morning almost at the same time he had been released, right? So why would she be in any sort of relationship with her kidnapper? And as for Ditto, there was no way Ditto would be involved with Belinda too.

As much as he knew, Ditto wanted to kill Belinda and he would definitely not get in a relationship with someone he wanted to kill, right?

It did not make any sense for the both of them to be together so that just could not be the case. There was more that he was not understanding at the moment and he needed to understand it all.

His heart ached at the possibility of Belinda having deceived him. If it happened that Belinda was never truly kidnapped, if it happened that Belinda had just been on it to help Dante Romano get the information he wanted from her, then Belinda had really broken him.

“I should have never done this.” a few tears rolled down.

“I should have never loved her. I have been told severally that love is not for people like me and it is true. Absolutely true. I suck at it and that’s why this is happening to me.”

“No.” Jonas pulled himself together.

“Belinda could not have deceived me. I am thinking too wildly right now. I should wait for a few more hours and go in there to ask Belinda about it. She must have the perfect explanation for what I saw just now. We are going to settle our issues and we are going to be together again. That is what is going to happen.”

“Who did you say killed my father?” Winston asked, his voice harsh and his eyes filled. Winston was Mark’s young son whom the deceased had given birth to at a young age. Winston had been out of the country for years and had only returned after hearing about his father’s death.

“Dante Romano. Your father’s sworn enemy.” Tasha replied and Winston slammed his fist on the table in between them.

“That bastard! I have heard dad talk about him before. How… How could he kill dad?!”

“Don’t yell, Winston.” Tasha frowned.

“If only you had decided to take the business seriously, this would not have happened. You are 20 but all your life, you have remained hidden.”

“That is what Dad wanted.” Winston looked away with a hard look as he tried not to blink out the tears in his eyes.

“Because my mother was just a poor random girl he had sex with when he was 19.” Winston added.

“Your father wanted you to start getting involved in the mafia immediately you clocked 16 but you refused vehemently. My brother was a fool. He helped force someone else’s son (Dante) Into the mafia but could not force his own son to join.” Tasha shook her head.

“I have told you all over and over again I don’t care about all those dirty things you guys get involved with but… This time, Dante Romano has outdone himself.”

Tasha let out a low, sad chuckle.

“You’d better stay calm, Dante Romano is not someone you can toy with. I only met him once but I know that man is a beast you don’t want to joke around with. If you ever want to avenge your father’s death, then you have to start growing up slowly. You have to join the mafia and grow your power until you are strong enough to stand up against Dante Romano. If you make any rash actions, trust me you will end up the same way my brother ended up.”

“So the question is…” Tasha leaned in closer.

“Are you ready to avenge the death of your father?”

“Yes, I am ready. I will kill that bastard with my very own hands.”
