Learn to Love

Chapter 1

Castiel's POV:

After moving to New York, I've been very busy with my family's business. Oh, let me introduce myself the name is Castiel Novak. Who am I? Well I'm a business man, but not like your typical New York businessman. My family and I do business overseas, in the United states and in Canada.

The Business? My family is a powerful mob family, we do your typical black market type of business. Don't ask questions about it. You want answers, google or something.

Anyway, I just turned 22, I was born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts. My mother was killed when I was 7. My mother was shot point blank, I saw a person with a hood over their face, then I saw the gun and I heard my mother scream then a thud.

I saw blood, and my mother's lifeless body. Blood coming out of her head, I wanted to run to her and hold her but I couldn't. My father started shooting at the culprit and he hit the culprit but they escaped. My father held my mother's lifeless body and I remembered he looked at me and he told me "Son, love will make you weak, but understand if you fall in love, don't do anything stupid. Keep the person you love safe, no matter what."

After my mother's death, my father seeks revenge on the person responsible. My dad taught me how to shoot a gun and how to load. He even got me into self defence classes so I know how to defend myself in hand to hand combat if necessary. My dad became a cold man after my mother died.

I vowed to never fall in love, fearing it would make me weak. I use women for their bodies, nothing else.

No One's POV

It was a hot August day, Castiel was in his condo looking over paperwork from his family business that is overseas in Russia, Australia and Japan. Castiel has 9 siblings, 4 sisters and 5 brothers. Castiel was never close with his siblings, he mostly kept to himself. He was close with his mom and dad, his siblings were never close with their parents. Castiel was always the good child, always did well in school, planned to go to a very excellent university but after the death of his mother that all changed.

Castiel's father, Charles "Chuck" Novak, wanted his son to take control of his business in New York and Castiel agreed. Castiel always did what his father asked him, whether it be to go torture a rat in the group or to kill (if necessary).

Castiel had just arrived to New York City, he arrived to his condo which is in Manhattan. Castiel always visited New York when he a was a kid, he would go with his mom or dad or both of his parents. Castiel loved going to New York, sure Boston was a nice city, but it wasn't as much as fun as New York. Castiel would always visit the museums in New York ,art galleries, the statue of liberty, the empire state building and much more. Castiel knew this wasn't a visit, he knew it was just business and that was it.

Castiel was doing some work on his laptop at his condo, he had to look over how the business in New York was going down, none of the product was moving and that had upset Chuck. Most of the product was moving from either Australia, Russia or Canada. Castiel had to figure out how to get the product moving and to keep the family business a success, but that meant hiring people willing to move the product within the states and to ship it overseas.

Castiel had many thoughts on his head, he had to find out who killed his mother killer, how to make his family's business a success in New York, how to ship out the product within the states and overseas and how to make sure he doesn't get caught and sent to jail.

Castiel was at one of the strip clubs his father owned, he was in the VIP section having some drinks, the girls coming up to him asking if he wanted a dance. Castiel just kept working, he always told the girls that he was busy and that if he wanted a dance, he would go find one of them and go get a dance. The girls knew not to bug Cas too much, they didn't know if he had a temper or not, so they left him to finish up his work.

After leaving the club, Cas decided to walk back to his condo, he had his gun on him in case, someone tried to attack him. Castiel knew New York could be bad but he was always a step ahead. He always carried a gun, he always made sure the cops weren't onto him or his family's business empire and he made sure he wasn't anywhere near a murder or a robbery in case the cops ask him questions.

Castiel became a cold heartless man the day his mother died, he saw how heartbroken his father became after his mother was shot in cold blood. Castiel didn't want to see that happen to him, he didn't want to fall in love and risk his love getting killed. He figured that if he kept up his cold, harsh attitude girls wouldn't want to fall in love with him and just leave him. He remembers his father talking about how he met Cas' mother, it was fast and unexpected.

Castiel's POV:

I have to be careful, my dad said when he fell for my mom it was fast and unexpected. But one day, if I do get married I don't want my wife to be shot in cold blood like my mother was. I can't fall in love, I'm not going to. If it happens, I will remain cold, heartless and a bastard. I'd rather push people away rather than let someone other than family get close to me.

What Castiel didn't know was, he would end up breaking his own self made vow. It was only a matter of time.
