FORGIVE ( h. ryo )

ten

Ryo felt cold. He's been stuck in this prison cell for who knows how long. He didn't have his phone with him, he wasn't wearing a watch and there was no window anywhere so he didn't know what time of the day it was right now.

He hasn't eaten anything since he was with his family, yet he doesn't feel a bit of starvation because fear is eating him up alive. His voice hasn't returned yet. The boy did not know if his voice would ever return, or if his lost voice was the first of many punishments that he was going to get.

Voices and footsteps. He hears the sound of people talking echoing through the silent hallway.

"Why did you bring me down here with you James? You've just gotten back from an important meeting overseas and the first thing that you did when you got back was drag me down to this prison cell?"

"You'll see why Raden. There was a reason why I brought you down here with me."

The voices and footsteps got closer. Ryo didn't know why he felt his body trembling. He couldn't even place his head up because of the amount of power he could feel radiating through the hallways. This immense power was more compelling then when he first met Mr. Anderson. He knew that one of the higher ups were in here. The higher up being the number one commander, Mr. Warren.

"I got news that someone had broken the one important rule that a cupid must not break. And I also heard that the person who broke the rules, was one of your kids."

"I'm sure that you'd know exactly who the person is once we arrive in front of his cell."

"We've arrived in front of the cell, Mr. Warren, Mr. Anderson." A security guard stated as the two male adults stops in front of Ryo's cell.

Mr. Anderson looking inside as his eyes widens before he let's out a sigh.

"Of course it was you, out of all the other wishes." Ryo could hear Mr. Anderson whisper.

Ryo still had his head lowered down as he didn't dare to look up. He didn't want to see the terrifying look of Mr. Warren. Nor did he want to see the look of disappointment on Mr. Anderson's face.

"Now do you know why I brought you down here Raden?" Mr. Warren said with a sly grin on his face as the other male could just stare at him blankly.

"I was going to come down here by myself and inflict any sort of pain that I wish on this boy, I wonder what types of punishment he deserves. But I thought, that wouldn't be fun. Since he works under your son, that means that he works under you as well, am I correct? I thought that I'd let you visit him and talk to him before we decide if he is guilty or not." Mr. Warren then forcefully grabbed onto the metal bar of the cell as it startles Ryo.

"I say Raden, maybe this is another form of punishment for you. For secretly having a child, then bringing him over to the headquarters. Letting him work here without anyone's knowledge that he is actually yours. You should've been punished! Just like your damn brother." He continues to speak.

Ryo felt his hands tremble when he mentioned Rafael. Mr. Anderson's brother that took his own life, right here. In this very prison cell.

Mr. Anderson could just glare at him as he refused to reply to him.

"But oh hell, that was all in the past. I must say Raden, you truly are bad luck. You who broke the rule, your brother who... well, you know, your son that also broke the rule, and now your desciple." Mr. Warren shaking his head before he looks over at Ryo.

"I'm going back to my office. You could talk to him for a while, whilst me and the rest discuss for the next few days what we should do to him." He was about to walk off when Mr. Anderson stops him.
