MAFIA'S PIANIST ✔

21| Hidden Past

Abigor sat in his office, reading documents after documents and making plans to attack the Spanish. He was a vindictive person and he didn't take rejection well.

So when the Spanish Mafia refused to share their missile, Abigor had decided to either destroy them or blackmail them into giving up.

He sighed and took off his reading glasses while rubbing his forehead in distress. He was already tired and was ready to retire for the day, go back to his little tigress.

He stared off in space dreamily wondering what might she be doing right about now, the way he was so lost in his rage in the morning that he almost hurt her, made him curse himself.

He knew he got what he deserved, being kicked out of her apartment.

A sharp knock on the glass door pulled him out of his depressing thoughts as he gave a quick reply to come in.

Karl came in with a tight frown on his face and a few documents in his hand.

"What crawled up your ass?" Abigor commented as Karl shook his head and kept the documents in front of Abigor.

Abigor had sent Karl to Blue Bird Orphanage, to investigate and collect information on his little love who was so mysterious and quiet all the time.

"Boss I went to the orphanage as you ordered and investigated the headmistress Mrs Dias" Karl said while taking out a handkerchief and wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"And?" Abigor asked while dropping his pen on the table and picking up the pale blue document that Karl brought.

"She knew next to nothing about Ms Leighton. She just knew that Ms Leighton arrived at the orphanage during the Spanish-American mafia war with other orphaned kids and never uttered a word about her parents, so they just assumed that her parents must have died during the war and took her in"

Abigor listened to all this with scrunched up brows, how the wars had destroyed families over the ages. He had always felt remorse for them but after finding out that Aria might be one of the victims, made it a million times worse for him.

"I think you should see the file boss, page 207. . ." Karl said while gulping a bit, it was the first time Abigor had seen Karl so tense and nervous.

Nevertheless, he opened the file. Abigor recognized the file, it contained the name and information of all the people who were killed in the mafia war. The government had no data whatsoever because they refused to accept the fatality and blamed it all on the criminal groups.

Abigor was the one who had ordered to collect information when his father was still the head of the Hayes family, so he could reimburse all those who lost their loved ones and provide the orphaned children to a good orphanage.

His father had never cared for them and always ignored it as a thing of the past till he was the mafia king.

He flipped through the pages with a heavy heart, until his body jerked and he stared at the certain name written on it.

Aria Leighton.

"It must be a coincidence" he mumbled as his other hand balled in a fist "There can be hundreds of Aria Leighton for all we know!"

Karl nodded and took a seat in front of him "I know boss, but. . ." he trailed off and quieted down.

"BUT WHAT?" Abigor growled in impatience as his grip on the file tightened. Normally there were photos of the deceased in front of the names, but this was the only page where there  was no photo. Just an address and nothing else.
