A Secret

Lucas's POV:

"Tell me!" I demanded waiting for my father to start the story

"OK, OK no need of screaming" My father said "It started when we were kids... Me and Ciara's father- Carlos, we were like best friends. Our fathers were Mafia leaders too"

"Ciara's father was a mafia leader too?!" I said while interrupting my father "I mean you said his dad was a Mafia leader so... I guess he was too"

"Yes my boy, I didn't expect that you will get this so easy" my father said while looking down the floor.
"Everything changed when we became Mafia leaders. Carlos decided to move from Madrid to Los Angeles while I stayed in Madrid and start to rule our Mafia. We became colder and colder to each other until eventually we moved to Atlanta" he pointed at me and at the picture of my mother on his desk.

"So as you know Atlanta wasn't big enough for me so I decided to expand the Mafia to California. But there was one problem, Carlos's Mafia were all over the place so I decided to go speak with the boss." he stopped for a moment to take a breath "When I started talking to him Carlos was like a new person. He was not the person I remembered. The person I remembered was cruel, careless, cold but funny. When I met with him that day , he was soft, nice and full with dad jokes. I knew he had a son and a daughter but I didn't ever believed that this guy can be good. After thinking a lot, I came with the conclusion that this guy can not rule the Mafia, expecially a big one. So I gave him a chance to either join my Mafia or die"

*Marcus's (Lucas's dad) flashbacks*

"Look I don't wanna do this but I have no choice. Look what you did to one of the greatest Mafia's in the world" I said with an angry tone"This is not the Mafia I remembered when your dad was ruling it"

"Hey look chill out, I have children now and you have a son too, right" Carlos said with his calm voice"I am trying to be the best father I don't really care about the Mafia but I can't let you take it away from me"

"Then act like you don't want your Mafia taken away from you!" I screamed letting all of my anger out
"Look what you've become... This is not Carlos I remember, this is not you. You don't have a third option. You either join my Mafia or you either Die!" I said with a determination in my voice

"I can't let you do that. I can't let you take my Mafia or my family away from me. You don't have the right to be on this territory but I am good enough to LET YOU STAY IN" Carlos said letting his anger out

"This is what I want to see. Carlos being angry. Come on keep being mad at me." I encourage him thinking that I can make him realise who he is.

"Leave" he said with a low voice. I stood there waiting for another warning"I SAID LEAVE! "Carlos screamed. I have never heard him screaming like that

" I guess it's option two then" I said while shutting his office doors

*Ends of flashback*

"So basically you can imagine what happend next " my father said with a note of sadness in his voice

"So you really killed your best friend?" I asked quietly not wanting to make my father angry

"He deserved it" my father said "Anyways end of the story. Go to your room cus i am busy"

"But dad that doesn't answer the question why do you want me to make Ciara fall in love with me and then kill her" I demanded staying still

"You still don't get it do you?" My father questioned me "I want you to make her fall in love with you and then kill her, so she can taste what her father did to me. He was my best friend and when I go to talk to him I felt like he was stabing me with a knife in the back. I want you to kill her so that she doesn't take over the Mafia and make it powerful like it used to be. I have got my eye on her and she seems like she is powerful and like she is a loner. She have the qualities of a perfect leader... A Mafia leader.
So yes those are the main reasons why I want you to make her fall in love with you and then kill her. " This is where my father stopped talking

" Now go to your room"was the last thing he said

I listened to my dad and left his office. When I get upstairs I decided to chat with Ciara for the dinner tomorrow. I still don't know why do I keep inviting her to somewhere.
Anyways I grab my phone and start chatting with her

Well I guess its official. I am going on a dinner with Ciara. I don't know why but I feel like something was off about her. Every time I speak or chat with her I feel like a different person. I don't know why.
I guess I will find out soon.
