WORLDWIDE MAFIA BOSS

AUTHOR'S POV

At this point, she did not know what to do. 'Should I think about myself or should my mother be my priority?' Jani gave thought and took a left turn, her mother was her priority.

The closer to the residence she got, the more scared she was as events of some other nights ago kept torturing her. How could her father see her as a woman? 'Maybe it's just because he came home totally wasted.' She tried to convince herself but everything did not just add up.

Jani could not help but grasp tightly the hem of her elegant dress when the image of a dying woman came to haunt her.

She remembered how the woman died at the hands of Jin Daven, her father. An enemy of the government, a master of the underworld who operated underworld casinos and dealt with organ transplant businesses.

The woman was executed for digging deeper into Jin's true identity and what he does to earn a living. His real identity Thomas Kyle and not Jin Daven as they had known earlier was brought to light by the lady who's no more.

Jani remembered how the woman was forced to swallow a liquid and later fell petrified on the floor after a lot of struggling. "Help me, go get me some water." The woman had pleaded for mercy but her father's cold eyes rooted her on the ground.

Even if she wanted to, where on earth would she get the water from? The place looked more like a human butchery where blood was the only liquid.

How she wished she dared to go against her father at the moment but here she was, yet another victim Jin had preyed on.

She mustered the little courage within her and trespassed her way into the isolated residence that housed no human apart from Jin. This is exactly what Jin had done to them, hide them from the human world or rather species.

"Hey, where do you think you're going?" Jani tensed the moment she heard Roshan their gatekeeper rush towards her direction. "Sorry young master." He stood still, hands akimbo immediately he saw Jani. "You can have your way in." He said motioning her to take the right direction which she did. She'd been caught anyway.

"Mother am here, I was unable to leave without you. How can I leave you in the hands of that monster?" She asked in between her sobs.

Mrs Daven was shocked and scared. She had already contacted the police after managing to get a hold of Jin's mobile phone simply because her daughter was out of the picture.

"Darling, why are you here? You should be somewhere closer to City A by now." She inquired not hiding her disappointment. Miss Daven checked the wall clock one last time. "Anyway it's not too late for you to leave, your father is not coming back anytime soon. He should be out there taking more lives." She said holding Jani's hand and taking her towards the door.

Before she could open the door, she turned to look at her daughter one last time. She'd sensed danger. Jin's alarm sounded which meant he was closer to the residence.

"Darling you can no longer leave this place safely, your father is around. Promise to not disappoint me this time."

"I'll do anything, mother." Miss Daven was satisfied, she was sure that once a promise always a promise. That was the daughter she raised.

"Promise me that you'll stay silent wherever I take you and that you won't show up no matter what." She said looking straight into her eyes.

"Even if he kills you?" She asked dissatisfied with her promise earlier.

"Even if he kills me." She answered firmly after all that's what Jin would do to her if the authorities didn't arrive on time. His presence here at this hour meant no good at all.

"Take this card, use it to set yourself free if anything happens to me. Run away as far as possible and avoid your father completely. Survive at all costs, do not let them near you neither should you give them a chance to figure out who you are."

She placed the card on the tile-like floor which was the passage to an underground secret room. She noticed its presence the day Jin had returned home drenched in blood and later confirmed that it was human blood.

She kept the secret room as a secret known only to herself. She locked the room once Jani was out of sight.

**********************

BOOM!

The door opened with a loud thud and Jin dashed in fuming in rage. "Now tell me where that f*king daughter of a bitch is." She had to play along, she was sure Roshan would never tell Jin of Jani's whereabouts after she'd asked him not to, so playing innocent was all she could do.

"I swear I don't know darling, wait have you not seen her yourself?" She asked looking so concerned about the situation at hand.

Jani watched the conversation through the computer in the underground room. So a mafia-like Jin could also be played he didn't even notice a series of CCTV cameras inside his home.

"Do not dare play damp with me woman." He said in greeted teeth. "Or do you perhaps think I would not find out that you've reported me to the authority? Oh! come on you know me better than anyone else Barbra." He smirked.

Yeah of course she knew him better than anyone else. She knew this was her final day on planet earth and what hurt her the most was that her daughter would see everything. How she wished she had destroyed the CCTV cameras earlier. Will her daughter be able to escape the trauma of witnessing her death?

"I loved you, but you failed me, you failed to be the woman for me. Please be reborn in the next as my mother." Jin said hugging his wife into a tight embrace. " Seems that's the only role that suits you perfectly." He inserted a knife deep into her belly.

"I-Iam p-p-reg-nant." Barbra managed to stammer the words out. Maybe this would work? Jin let go immediately, he felt guilty about everything. Guilty for leaving his phone with his wife, guilty for showing his true colors to his family. And guilty that he would do nothing else apart from executing every threat when it came to business.

"Y-you can't do this to me Jin we're family remember." She said in between her sobs.

"Did it not cross your mind that we're family before turning me in? Why didn't you think about our unborn child before exposing me?" He was even more confused now.

'Should he take the risk? but how could he? He was not ready to be the shameful heir of the Kyle family nor a reason for his father's failure in the business world.

"Wait are you even telling the truth? Or perhaps are you trying to trick my mind into going easy on you?" Miss Daven who was in a terrible state dropped a pregnancy test kit. "I am not lying Thomas." She said coughing out blood.

Jin was even more confused and shocked at the same time. Did she just call him by his real name? Should he just let go of everything, surrender, and give his family space to live? What if they hated him more than he thought? Would he have a home to embrace once out of prison?

"I wish I never met you, Barbra, meeting you has been my greatest weakness which am more than willing to get rid of this instant." Of course his downfall was never going to be caused by a woman, so he ought to do the necessary.

He repeated his actions again and again this time stabbing different areas. "Tell our child that I love him but he or she was equally a threat to me." He kissed his wife on the lips not caring about the blood. That was to be their last intimate time together.

Jin took his cell phone and dialed a number which connected immediately. "Clean this mess." Came his short and precise order as he went upstairs to clean himself. Jani quickly closed her eyes to avoid her father's naked body, after all, he was still her father no matter the circumstances. A part of him still existed in her which is why she ought to remind him in case he forgot.

She had to remind him that as his daughter, she knew everything he knew and could do everything he did much better than he did. According to Jani, she was just his reincarnation in a different gender, a part of him and that's all, it was high time she stepped in and stopped her father's thirst for money, power, and bloodshed.

Jin who was done cleaning himself left as two men in black entered carrying a lifeless body. Jani was quick to detect Roshan their gatekeeper. Jin was indeed undoubtedly clever, he left no trace of his crime behind. Roshan being an eye witness was his fate to be executed as well.

Jani struggled to read her mother's lips in motion, it seemed she had something to confess. "Dar-ling am sorry I can't be with y-you any longer. Please survive and avoid Jin. H- he - s i-s." And with this, she could utter no other words but only looked at the precious blue jade in her tender fingers as tears kept on flowing freely. Jani understood what she meant by that and quickly set herself free to go for the jade.

She was shocked to find that the house was on fire, no wonder everything was unclear at the moment. Jani took the jade from her mother, kissed her the final goodbye, and returned to her hiding spot. That was one of the things her mother treasured apart from her. It was the precious gift from the first and only man he loved in the entire universe.

She stayed in hiding until everything became calm and clear. Jani left the hiding spot safely and looked at the place that used to be her home for ten years. She cried bitterly seeing the ashes from the spot where her mother lay before complete distraction. Jani took some ashes with her and left to find refuge.

'Here she is boss, I found her at last.' Someone sent a text to Jin Daven who was after his final hunt. 'You have two minutes to bring her to me alive, use the arrows I gave you.' Came his short reply. He would keep her daughter and train her as he'd always done, after all, she was his flesh and blood. He would just be confused into depending fully on him.

Jani was hunted like a wild dog but thanks to her athlete's heart trained for endurance she was at an advantage. It's a good thing that Jin had trained her and it proved to be helpful, especially at such a time.

'You guys should leave that area, you're surrounded. Use the secret exit area.' Jin texted after being warned by his secret informer in the police department.

"Are you guys sure the arrows did not miss?" Jin asked for the third time in confirmation.

"Very certain sir the results are positive." One replied. "I saw it too boss " The second one said confidentiality. Jin Daven smiled triumphantly.

"Then there's no reason to worry. Even if she survives that shot, she would come in search of me." He was indeed a devil in a sheepskin. Was Jani his daughter to begin with?

Jani who'd been shot tried her best to get rid of the arrows but the pain was too much for her to bear and in the end, she could only break the arrows and stagger her way out of her hiding spot.

Jani was soaked in her blood, her feet became heavy and could no longer move. In the end, she fell unconscious on the cold ground.
