IV- B I T T E R

'The truth is never as painful,

As discovering a lie'

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

They what?!

I look around the room. Terrified as ever but still with a straight face. Now I get it.

The tough looks, the buffness, tattoos, not to mention what the brunette said earlier..

He was our best fighter.

Fighter.

They fight. Kill too. Maybe.

I'm fucked. Ain't I?

"Yes y/n...."

Say what now?!

"....We are in Mafia. I, they, uhm- your dad! he- he is the head. Our boss actually! and one of the most powerful one in entire Asia." -Uncle

Uh- wow. Like just.. wow.

All my life was a lie. A sugar coated selfish lie. He- I thought- I knew he worked in resorts. But involved in mafia?!

Wait- not involved. Not even fucking involved but also the boss!!

"I know it is sudden, but it's true..and I'm here to protect you.. from the danger that has come on you.." -Uncle

I was rendered speechless. Numb even.

"Wait..you mean..she..this girl sitting right here is that Lee y/n? His daughter?!"

A voice, I guess the guy with glasses, asked.

"Yes..that's why I asked you all to be nice with her..this is all new to her..plus she might get scared too.." Uncle replies..

"Well..I don't think she is anything near scared.." another brunette guy says rolling his eyes..

"Don't mind him. She just beat the crap outta him. That too in thirty seconds" the pale blonde guy speaks with somewhat amusement in his voice..

"Well just because she wasn't aware of all this doesn't mean she wasn't prepared. She has had training in some of the most difficult defenses. And was taught by none other than me. So I'll say..watch out."

He says and gives me a wink.

"Now.. y/n.. you see being in the mafia means having rivals. Many of them. Your dad had them too.. and one of them is a threat right now. His name is Victor Morrow,

Victor has been after him for many years now, but a few years back we had striked a deal with the Italian mafia..it was a powerful one..and it pissed him off. So he chose to show his anger. The accident that happened three years ago.. was done by him."

I raise my head up, my face pale. It wasn't an accident if it was planned, and the severity of it I'll also say it was an attempted murder!

I look and match his eyes.. as he nods.

"Yes..that's why your dad sent you here.. and took care of Victor.. everything was going well from past two years.."

I zone out..

That's the reason he agreed so easily when I asked to study away?. I wondered why his decision changed so suddenly.. seems I got to know.

"But now..one of our allies have joined him. And the reason behind is..you!"
