Chapter-4

Author's POV:

Daniel stood there unsure as his friends said, "The club upgraded.... I heard it's amazing down there...."

He stood there listening, His friend suggested, "Let's go tonight.... tell our parents that we have group studies or something...."

The other friend opposed, "But, They won't let us enter.... we are minors...." He rolled his eyes.

They replied saying, "Don't worry, I heard with some extra cash they will let us enter.... alcohol, girl, party!... it would me amazing..."

Daniel looked down remembering the warning his mother gave him ever since he remembered. Since, his brother was missing, his mother tried to keep extra eye on him.

He heard his friend, "Any ways we not kid anymore!... We just need to dress right."

Soon, everyone agreed.

As much as he wanted to have fun, his mother's concerned face stood in front of him.... She would never be happy.....

Daniel said, "No... I will pass...."

He tried to walk away when he heard, "Come on bro!.... Are you acting like a kid!"

They mocked again, "Like he is coward!!!... What is use of being Police Commissioner's son with no courage... fine go!"

Daniel's feast tightened.

They said again, "Let him go!..... He thinks he will also get lost like his stupid brother!!!!... ha!.... Coward!"

Daniel turned to the boys saying, "Fine!!! I will be there..... I am not coward!!!"

He walked away thinking, 'It's just a night out!.... why it matters!"

Same evening,

Daniel stuffed his bag with the clothes he intended to wear for the club, he took a deep breath and walked out of his room.

He saw his Dad and Mom chatting.

His mother Silvia turned to him saying, "Daniel.... baby, just wait few minutes I ordered Pizza for dinner..."

His Dad narrowed his eyes asking, "Where are you going?..." his father glanced at the clock asking, "It's late.... Isn't your curfew 7 in the evening?....."

Silvia also looked at her son questioning.

Daniel said, "I have a sleep over.... with my friends...."

His Dad turned to the TV screen saying, "No... You have to ask permission in advance. You just can't walk out and announce.... Go back to your room."

Daniel's feast tighten, fearing the name calling he will get if he failed to show up.

His eyes went to his mother for support, Silvia got up saying, "It's late.... it can be dangerous.... some other day, and your Dad was telling me, recent crime rate is also increasing in the city..."

Daniel's mind was filled with irritation, he said almost losing it, "It's not dangerous, My friends will be also there!... Why can't I go there!"

His Dad said, "Daniel... enough!"

Daniel kept saying, "because Brother went missing I should be caged?!!!... That's not fair!!" Silvia's eyes widened, She heard Her husband Lewis warning, "Daniel!!"

Daniel rushing into his room in anger banging his door loud.

Silvia heard her son's angry voice, "It's not fair!!!!"

She sat down seeing that sudden outburst, Lewis sat beside her holding her hand, He assured, "He is just child, don't mind his words.... He loves Seth like we do... it's just his age speaking...."

Silvia looked at her husband saying, "No.... He is right, We can't control him like this.... It's his life, anyways it's just a sleepover..... He is good kid we can trust him."

Lewis still said, "Not today he is angry.... some other day...."

Silvia looked at him and said, "I will talk to him.... maybe he really wants to be near his friends.... He should trust him."

Soon Silvia opened Daniel's door, She walks in seeing him reading a comic. But his face shows how angry he was.

She sat beside him, She smiled a little seeing her grump little son. She said, "Fine.... you can go, but few promises...."

Daniel looked at her, Silvia said, "You will not do anything bad, and behave good in your friends house.... and abandon this anger here... and have lot of fun."

She smiled, Daniel hugged her saying, "Thanks Mom...."

Silvia patted his head saying, "Aren't you late?"

She heard Daniel, "Sorry for mentioning Brother like that.... I was just angry, but Mom, I don't mean anything of that...." She smiled lightly.

Silvia said, "I know.... My Baby's hair got all messy... come on, get up fix yourself and enjoy your sleepover...."

Seth's POV:

I sat there as a grin appeared on my face, Looking down the club as I sat in the office.

Finally, My Step Brother is here.

See Mom, No matter what you do to raise a good boy, it just takes a little effort to bring them to dark.

A teenage boy got in the office behind Terry, He is kind of my right hand. I really think, I can trust him.... but the truth is I never close my eyes fully trusting someone.

But one thing is clear, Terry will never go against me.... If he does he is dead, that simple.

The boy looked around the office, amused. I said, "Good work kid.... Terry give him his prize." Terry soon took the money from the drawer and gave the boy.

This kid looked really happy by the amount of money he gets.

Just little money to desperate, he got my step brother under my hands. For the first time I feel like I can do anything to him as punishment.

Punishment for his father Lewis, for covering up My Father's dead, and for my Mom too.... at last they are pretty couple, living happily, with family.... while me and my father were swept aside.

But what kind of son I will be if I want to see my mother behind bar, I never want that faith for her.

Still I remember every day clearly, I remember my father, his death.... and the cover up.... humiliation of turning me into Seth Martin, stating that loser Lewis Martin was my father... that lie was pathetic....

When I am the only son, the only Heir of THE GREAT, MAFIA LORD, ALBERTO MORRIS!

How was I supposed to be satisfied with that pathetic arrangement.

The kid got my attention saying, "But, Sir.... I have question can I ask?"

I nod smoking my cigar, I heard him asking, "Your club is lit! it's packed with people.... You still want teenager's to come, you paid someone as me for this!"

I smirked looking at this kid, smart. Yea, this does sound stupid.

I turned to the kid, noticing his eyes were on my cigar. Such, curious mind.

I said, "Creating new customers and holding into them, is business."

But I do have a private business with someone.

I took a new cigar and offered the kid, he walked out smiling. While I am just glad he did his part best.

I stood by the glass wall looking at Daniel, poor kid looks uncomfortable. Mom is really raising a sheep or what!

I said to Terry, "Give those kidseverything, drinks, music, girls.... even drugs.... just make sure my brother hasfun today... and return again...."
