MY PARADISE

PROLOGUE

Roaring of thunder could be heard, raindrops falling on the car's window; it was dark, pitch black there wasn't any source of light except for the headlights and the lightning of the thunderstorm, it was raining heavily.

Everything seemed normal until the screeching of cars reached our ears, I looked ahead and saw many unknown cars stopping right infront of us.

Men wearing all black jumped out of those cars holding guns, surrounded our car.

Few seconds passed.

nothing happened.

when suddenly someone knocked a few times on the car's window.

my mother hugging me tightly as if someone's gonna snatch me away from her I could feel her heart beating fast, her tears dampening my shirt.

she was afraid.

few sobs left her mouth, it's the first time ever I've seen her this much scared, dad never let any tear came out of her eye she's the most precious to my dad and me.

I hugged her back trying to comfort her but her crying wouldn't cease I looked beside me finding dad looking around, his eyes horror struck.

I slightly nudged his arm, he looked at me his eyes soften. He placed a tender kiss on my forehead as I closed my eyes, opening them I glanced at my mother and then at him, wanting him to console her, I find it difficult as I myself was taken aback by this unexpected attack.

Yes I'm only 13 but I'm learning to deal with such things.

My dad is country's top businessmen
of course he got enemies, the greed for gaining the top position would lead anyone to go against him. It's a threat to our lives that's why dad took a decision to train me if I ever encounter such deadly situation I'll be able to handle it, at first it was hard to convince my mother but eventually she gave in saying my life matters the most.

I'm their only child and the only heir to this empire, I can't let my dad's hard work go to waste so I didn't interjected, their happiness matters the most to me even if I had to sacrifice my own.

we are in the middle of a deep Forest, going back home after spending vacations in our penthouse like we do every year.

I came out of my reverie as soon as I heard a loud noise,

someone banged the door of our car dad has locked the car from inside, he looked at my mother giving her an assuring nod and then his eyes met mine. I could see something in his orbs, a mixture of fear and rage but it disappeared as he discerned my mother clutching on me tightly.

he took my mother's hand and exchanged few glances which I couldn't understand, in a jiff my mother turned me towards her and hid my face in her embrace not letting me see anything.

I heard the car door opening, I instantly looked up seeing my mother's face all tensed up, tip of her nose red, tears running down her cheeks continuously; I looked for dad. Nowhere to be seen.

I took a look outside and saw many silhouette fighting some of them I recognized were our guards and other assailants donned in black clothes shooting them, I saw bodies falling on the concrete road one after another lying in a pool of blood on spot

Dead.

The terrible sound of bullets piercing through my ears.

The scene infront of me left me frozen in my place, for a second I couldn't breathe.
