A Will To Complete 《Book I》

CHAPTER X

Lilith POV

"Visha" 'deadly poison'

He raises his eyebrows surprised.
"Yeah, I know" I shrug I am used to that kind of reaction.

"What about yours," I ask

"Von"

"Well I guess you either got lucky or dad was high on something when he named me"

"So it's Lilith Visha Volkov," he says assembling the name.

I nod "and you Alexei Von Volkov" I do the same.

He nods too then we go into silence

Again.

Kazimir nudges me.

"So Alexei, you owe me that explanation, remember," I say so that the big curious child will stop nudging me.

"Yeah"

"Start Where ever you feel comfortable to share" I assure

"Well I was raised in an orphanage in Detroit, I was a quiet kid so I was kinda alone. I lived there thinking like the other kids, that my parents are dead. I didn't think too much about it but I just hated the idea of being alone" he says looking out the window it's drizzling a bit

"until one day when I was five years old someone came to see me I thought it's a couple coming to adopt but it turns out to be Sergei Volkov. at that meeting, he told me that I am his son, when I asked him why he throw me in the orphanage he said that I was a mistake and my mom didn't want me. for a normal five-year-old that would be traumatizing but I don't remember feeling anything but the realization that I finally found out who I am.
a burden.
He then took me with him to one of the bases that train young kids to be loyal to the mafia he said to keep an eye on me. He told me to keep the fact of being his son a secret and I worked under his command ever since I didn't talk to him directly since then every time I see him we will act like soldiers and boss but then 2 years ago he asked for me in his office and did something I will never forget"

"What did he do," Kazimir asks holding a bag of chips. where the hell did he get that

"He apologized," he says earning a gasp from Kazimir.
"For Abandoning me, leaving and treating me like anything but his son and he said he wished he could have done better"

"Did you forgive him?" I ask
"Well, I wasn't waiting for an apology I didn't think I needed one I was so corporate with the idea of me being a mistake and unwanted so I didn't think of it twice," he says I catch his eyes but I don't show sympathy because that's not the thing he wants or looking for.

"And then a month later he sent me the letter that I showed you and that's it. I was really happy about knowing I have a sister and that's I have someone and I am not alone"

What he is looking for...

"I don't want the throne Lilith or the mafia these things don't have value for me I just want my sister"
He says looking at me.

Is comfort.

I pull my leg off his lap and fix myself in the seat.

AH FUCK! WHAT DO I DO?! WHAT DO I DO?! Is this when I am supposed to comfort him?! but I suck at that

I slowly pat him on the shoulder and I cringe at myself.

"You are not good at that" he chuckles.

"Now you know my weakness," I say
I slide to Kazmir who is almost falling in the backseat for leaning forward too much to hear what we are saying.
"Happy," I say, he nods happily

"We are almost there ma'am," Michael says "Okay, thank you, Michael," I say

"Oh Alex" I call reaching my pocket
"Here, that's dad's will," I say handing him the sheet of paper.

He starts reading and by his facial expression I can tell he read the plot before he can fire me with questions I cover his mouth "What about we discuss the will in the office when we arrive; okay"

He silently nods and I remove my hand "you have trust issues" he says
"Well, congratulations Einstein that was the discovery of the century" Kazimir shrugs from the passenger seat sarcastically.

I smile at him and Alexei just rolls his eyes at him. hours later We arrive at the big front gate and the guards open it revealing the house wait! no, scratch that, the mansion

"Welcome ma'am," Michael says killing the engine "thanks Micheal," I say stepping out of the car the other two step out. It's dark I look at my watch and it's 8 pm. I look at the house and it looks pretty much alive judging from the lights and the movement in it and out I can tell the sector has arrived and settled in.

I walk inside and the door works with a fingerprint I scan every one of them and I can feel the other two are fast on my heels.

I open the main room doors where I expect most of my men are. I see two big screens and couches in the front. eight people are sitting on it holding controllers the rest is holding plates of food and watching the game that is being played not bothered by my existence.

Then a man notices me and drops the plate he nudges his friend and points at me he too is in shock and whistles to grab the whole room's attention. now that they know I am here they all get up from their seats leaves anything from their hands and stand in respect.

"At ease gentlemen," I say in a strong tone  "who's the underboss," I ask "Nathan," someone says "it's Nathan ma'am he is the one in charge here,"

"and where is this Nathan," I ask

"here"
