My Boss

[no-one]

Ayanna was shocked greatly that she froze and only looked at Marco with widen eyes. Until she finally regained her senses, but when she did it wasn't a god thing for Marco. Ayanna grabbed for the wine glass in front of her, chucking the contents of the drink at Marco. Surprised Marco immediately stood from his chair, taken aback while Ayanna sat calmly in her chair setting the wine glass down.

"So this whole time you were alive."

She spoke dangerously low and slow making sure he heard and took in each word she said.

"I raised a child by myself and struggled for years just to find out you were alive."

Though she looked calm and collected on the outside Ayanna was seething on the inside. All that was going through her mind was the worst possible.

"You practically missed out on seeing the birth of your son and you let me live in pain for all these years just to find out you were alive."

"Ayanna-"

"Don't speak. Who are you even Marco Rinaldi or Leonardo Moretti?"

A slight pain shot at Marco hitting him right where it had hurt the most, but he couldn't blame her. He had left her to struggle and live in pain. Not once did he try to reach out, but what she hadn't understood was that he couldn't if he wanted to. All because of his evil mother and her cold heart he couldn't have his family.

"I'm trying now."

He spoke, barely above a whisper.

"Now!? It is too late don't you think? After all the hurt and pain now is the time!?"

Taking one last look at him Ayanna grabbed her things, getting ready to leave. As she stood to walk off the boat she turned back to him.

"Get me off this damn boat Leonardo."

— Later that night —

I paced my living room angrily, but I was more sad than I was angry. I felt like I had lost my family entirely. The love of my life and my son! They were my everything, I fought for years and years just to be able to see them from miles away. Why can't she understand that me going away wasn't to hurt or make her suffer it was to keep her alive!! Did she know that I too struggled and suffered!? I was alone with no one! I have killed and ruined people just so I could be with her now! I did everything I could, why can't she see that!?
Grabbing the whiskey off my coffee table and pouring some into my glass I downed the drink and another. Two drinks became three and they kept going until I finally had to force myself to take a seat on my couch. I was now just starring off into a space in front of my and now my sadness was slowly getting replaced with anger. Snatching my phone up I quickly dialed my brother.

"Get ready, we move out tonight."

Hanging up the phone without waiting for an answer, I took one last drink and stood up. I was going to get my family back one way or another, even if I go to go a little insane.
