The Game of Revenge

Prologue: Xavier

X A V I E R

 “Henderson killed your dad.” uncles words played in my brain. I pulled the trigger again and shot it twice on the man sitting infront of me.

Blood oozed out from the holes while his head hung low, he showed no movements. How could he do this to him? My father is no more with us only because of him.

This fucking man.

I wish I could give him a good merciless death. How dare he even lay his eyes on my father?

Papers, white papers were now red. His dark blood covered the whole desk, his white shirt was now soaked in blood.

I unloaded the gun and walked away, exiting the cabin but my dad's face always comes up before my eyes. I can't change the fact that I wasn't able to save him when he needed me. I wish I could save him.

“You did a great job, Xavier. I am proud of you” uncle spoke but I didn't reply him, the thing I could do is to ignore him when I felt somebody's hand on my shoulder. It was nobody else than my uncle himself. “Don't worry, Xavier. Its okay” he patted my shoulder and I nodded slowly.

He passed me a smile, got up and walked away.I poured the red wine in the glass and sipped.

I am in a mess. When I killed the murderer of my father, the weight on my chest got off. I feel a little light now but the guilt of not being there when dad need will always be in my heart.

I leaned back and closed my eyes, showing no movement but my heart was beating and I was respiring.

Age: 7

“Happy birthday, Xavi” a smile appeared on my lips as mumma wished me, I got off from my bed and ran towards her before hugging her tightly, she hugs me back.

I am wearing my white night suit which has dolphins and sharks and more water animals printed on it. I love water which is why this is my favourite one.

“Thank you, mumma” she smiles. “Where's papa?” I asked, “Papa? He has gone to decorate the lake house” she replied.

“Lake house? Are we going to celebrate my birthday in lake house?” “Yes Xavi” Lake house has always been my favourite place, not because its near lake, its because when we are there, we are together.

Neither papa is on the laptop, checking mails nor momma is busy and we Don't have to study. That's my favourite place.

“Happy birthday, Xavier. My big boy!” aunt wished me, my mumma’s sister. She has always been my best buddy and whenever she comes, she brings chocolates.

Mumma and aunt shared some talks while the smile never left their faces. I was wearing a sky blue shirt and navy blue colored trousers with a golden ribbon which started from my shoulder and ended on my waist, ‘Birthday Boy’ was written on it with black italic font.

Suddenly something covered my eyes from behind, I brought my hands near and touched it, it was a hand. I could hear nothing as if everybody stopped nor I could see.

The hand was warm and soft. “who is that?” I asked, “Guess. Whom do you think am I?” the voice...the voice “Papa!”

I freed myself from the grip and turned around only to look at papa smiling at me, I rushed to him and hugged him.

“Happy birthday my boy”
“Thank you papa!”
“You'll never leave me. Right, papa?”
“Never. I’ll never leave you, son”

Age: 28

It was my last birthday I celebrated with pure happiness. It was my last birthday with my family. After a year, my mom passed away due to cancer? Its still a question for me, I think that it was a murder.

Somebody murdered both of my parents. Grandma was in a shock and papa slipped into depression after mom died. My little brother, Ace who was just 5 craved for a mother's love.

“Marco!” I opened my eyes and looked around. “Sir” Marco enters the room. “Get me the details of Henderson Walters. I want each and everything, don't miss any piece of information”
