Promise and Prison

Massimo was sitting in his study while blowing the fog from his lips , the cigarette he was holding was about to get finished ,

He smeared it on the ash tray on his table as he was done with it ,

He snorted and grabbed the handle of the right drawer of his table , he pulled it out a picture ,

He looked at it ,

The pain of the past memories came back as all the scenes of that hurtful moment began flashing in front of him ,

Flashback

The gentle breeze of fresh air touched Laura’s hair and they started waving in the hair , although her eyes were wet , she looked at Massimo who was confused and hurt ,

He looked at his left where the beautiful ocean was flowing but the heaviness of the situation faded the serenity of that scene ,

Laura on the other side sobbed and finally said ,

" I thought we are perfect for each other , we are soul mates but I am sorry Massimo “, she gulped ,

" I think we are are not meant to be together “,

Massimo gulped in his throat , ” Is that what you feel , Laura ?“,

She nodded ,

He licked his lips in frustration, ” fine , I can’t keep you as a wife while you feel like a prisoner “,

" You can go ” , he said

Flashback Ends

Massimo held his and Laura’s wedding picture , he looked at it with glossy eyes ,

He had no words to describe how miserable he was feeling ,

After Laura decided to go with Nacho , Massimo’s shattered heart decided to leave all the mercy he has and he turned himself into a ruthless Don , he submitted himself completely into his world of drugs and arms,

It was like he has killed all his emotions or one can say he has learnt to suppress them completely, although he was having sex with hookers but it was more like a way to release his frustration,

He started shutting his human side for the world ,

On the other side , in South Asia ,

Shiv Singh Rai , the biggest Mafia of not only India but whole South Asia was having a party , it was his 55th birthday and it was a grand party in his honour,

Don Shiv was sitting in huge and lavish pool with several hot ladies half of his age , it was a steamy scene as they were giving him kisses and all kind of other pleasures,

Suddenly a tall white man came towards the pool who was his assistant,

" sir “, he said while stopping at the edge of the pool

" what do you want Tony “, Shiv said ,

" I just wanted to tell you that everyone you said has been invited for your birthday “,

" but I have not called the your special guests as per your wish to call them on your own “,

Shiv looked at Tony , ” good ” , he grabbed the phone from Tony and added , ” come on girl , I am little busy now , so , get out of the pool “, he said in a serious tone and all the that very moment,

Shiv started typing on his phone and attached it to his ear ,

“Massimo ! My boy !“, he exclaimed with joy ,

Massimo on the other side happily replied back to his father’s best friend and godfather , ” hello uncle “,

Massimo’s father and Shiv stepped into the world of mafia together in their respective country’s and they met in Dubai where they became allies , as well as , good friends. They stood by each other through thick and thin as a strong alliance through which they both expanded their influence over entire Europe and Asia , as a team and when they conquered both continents , both Massimo’s father and Shiv decided to divide their kingdoms so that power would not ruin theirs long time friendship,

Two of them maintained a dignified relationship with each other and respected their boundaries, none of them ever tried to backstab another and snatch the empire,

That is why Massimo was made the Godson of Shiv because his father only trusted one person who can show real and right path to his son and that was Shiv,

And Massimo also had this immense love for his Uncle Shiv,

“I hope you remember that your old man is reaching in his 55th year “, Shiv asked ,

Massimo chuckles ,” how can I forget that ?“,

" Great !! So don’t forget to come next week on Sunday , and this time I need no excuse otherwise I won’t be happy with you “, Shiv ordered ,

" I know I can’t say no to you and especially when it’s your birthday ” Massimo replied humbly ,

" Great ! ”

" See you soon , son”
