I'm not denying it

Maximos pov

I knew it. I fucking knew it. That disgusting piece of shit. I knew what he was like. His father Miguel and my father used to be friends. And my grandfather used to be friend with his grandfather. It goes on and on and on.

But when our mafia got more powerful and stronger, Miguel felt threatened. He thought that we would automatically betray them. Or he was just jealous of our success and disappointed upon their downfall.

One night he called my father and invited him over for diner. He told him to come alone, that he had some important news to debate.

Fortunately my father is not dumb. He felt something wasn't right, so he brought backup. My uncle along with 2 of his best colleagues.

When they arrived, Miguel invited them to his office. 10 men than jumped out of closets and shot every single one of my father's colleagues along with my uncle who unfortunately didn't make it out.

My father was shot as well. He was shot in the shoulder. But what Miguel didn't know was that my father had extra back up just in case any of this would happen.

I was with them even though I was just 15 years old. I shot Miguel. I shot him exactly through the heart. My father survived. But Miguel died on the spot.

Andre never spoke to me since. He never understood why I shot Miguel. He didn't believe us that Miguel attacked us first. He was just 14 when it happened.

Andre then became troubled. He killed everyone that came in his way. I heard that he owns a torture chamber where he tortures his enemies.

I even heard of a girl. A girl he loved so much that it was his only weakness. But I never imagined what that sick bastard had done to her.

I could never hurt a woman. Never. My mother raised me to respect a woman. To respect her beautiful body, her working hands, her stunning soul.

And I cannot stand anyone hurting a woman.

I heard knocking.

"You have a guest Maximo" Clara said.
Clara is our maid. She was always like a mom to me, since I lost my real mom.

"Thank you Clara, can you show him to my office" I said. I knew who it was. It's Théo. He called me earlier wanting to talk. I told him we can talk in person.

"Maximo." Théo said as he entered my office.

"Yes Théo, what did you want to talk about" I said, still sitting on my chair.

"I wanted to talk about what happened last week" Théo said, who was now sitting next to me.

"Sure, we can talk about that"

"I just wanted to tell you that if you or anyone from your family had any part in shooting me and the others and also in wanting to kidnap Francesca, I will put a bullet through your heart." Théo threatened me.

"Théo, no. Nor I nor any member of my family had any part in the incident. And I can assure you. I do not want to cause any harm to Francesca or her family"
I don't know why I implied Francesca. But I did.

"Okay, I believe you. For now. But I know that you and Andre used to be close. What can you tell me about him? What is he like? How does he live what does he think? Anything that could help." He said with a desperate voice.

"I've been studying him since Francesca escaped him. I've seen what he had done to her. Its inhumane. Believe me. I've seen a lot of things, but that. You don't to that to someone you love. You do that to someone you wish was six feet under." He said irritated and angry.

"I want to see it. I want to see the things he has done to her." I say to him.

"No, no you don't" He now stood up. "And even if I wanted to show you, I wouldn't because I promised Francesca to burn the tapes." He looked away.

"But you didn't did you. You didn't burn them. You couldn't burn them because seeing them gives you strength and empowers you. Makes your hatred for him even larger." I now stood up too.

"Even if that is true. It doesn't matter right now. All that matters is that we find him and kill him" Théo said.

"Oh I will not kill him" I told Théo who was now looking at me confused. Kind of angry.

"I will let him rot. I will cause so much pain to him, he will beg me to kill him. And when I will want to get rid of him I will burn him alive" I said proudly. I wanted him to suffer.

"Thats why it is important for me to see the tapes, the medical files. Anything. So that I can study him. His behaviour, the way he thinks. So that we can find him."
I said to Théo, now standing right besides him.

"Okay, I'll show you the medical files and the tapes. But I need you to tell me what he was like when you two were friends" Théo said now sitting down again.

"He was always different. He was chaotic. His father was never home and when he was, they went hunting together." I said as I sat down as well.

"They went hunting for humans. He was six when he first killed a human being. He was eight when he first tortured a man. He always had this unstoppable anger inside of him. I think he was angry with his father. He never really had it in him to show the anger. And with time. That anger transitioned to respect." I said and started pouring us whiskey.

"He wanted to be like his father. He wanted to kill he wanted to torture, to rape to be unstoppable."
I took a sip of whiskey.

"And when I killed his father. He forgot all about friendship we used to have. He didn't care that his father was the one to shot first. He wanted to kill me."
Théo was listening so carefully that it was rather comical.

"After the day I killed his father in front of him, I never saw him again. I heard that he fell in love with the most beautiful girl on this earth. And I heard that she loved him." As I said the word loved, Théos became noticeably angry.

"She never loved him. She was a fool and fell for him but she never loved him." He said like he was threatening me.

"Listen buddy. We know what our mission is. We were sent to protect her. But if you are in love with her that could be a problem." I told him.

"That could never be a problem, because I can control myself." He told me.

"So you are not denying it. You are in love with her?" I asked Théo.

"She is the prettiest, most beautiful girl with the most gorgeous soul. I'm not denying it." Théo said.
