Tyler's POV"Sir, here are the reports you wanted to see," one of my men said and placed a thick folder on the table in front of me.
"Ah yes, thank you, you may go out now, " I dismissed him with a gesture of my hand.
I opened the file only to see something stupid and unbelievable. I let him live his life and this is going to be the payment!
Oh and before I forget I shall introduce myself.
Currently, I am the CEO of the number 1 company in the United States. This company was made by me with the help of my real family and the man who adopted me.
The truth is that this company is a cover-up for the mafia business.It's not like we kill any good people that don't follow us. Devil gang punishes the people who lie and deal with sex trafficking and drug dealing.
We let them borrow a big sum of may from us and after a few years, we go back to them and check if they have used the money on good use, if not, you know what will happen and it's not good at all but if they did we let them go.
Just because it's a mafia business doesn't mean that it's terrible and awful nor is it bloody and disgusting. As the leader of the gang, I am proud and delighted to say that we are all just fallen angels, like a devil. I may be a mafia boss but well let's just say that I'm quite childish and serious, depends on the situation.
My life wasn't like this before but I met a man who changed my life for the better. Therefore I shall tell our encounter.
FLASHBACK( continuedfromtheprologue)His mom fed him without caring about herself. His mother was his everything and he knew that his mom was also his dad's beloved.He balled his little hand into a fist before walking towards the man. He pointed the gun at the man's head.
The man lifted his head and Tyler's eyes widened when he recognized the person as the man who stole from his father. His father has struggled a lot to earn money.Tyler's father was a hard-working man, he doesn't deserve the pain of losing the money he worked hard to attain. His dad worked in a factory and always bought something for Tyler, no matter how poor they were.
Without batting an eye, he pulled the trigger. A gunshot was heard and the 10-year-old did not even cower.Blood dripped from the man's head but Tyler did not feel the urged to vomit or cry like someone else.He threw the gun on the ground before looking at the shocked old Ace who did not expect the boy to really shoot that thief.
END OF FLASHBACK
Soon after that Ace brought me to his house and asked me to be part of the devil gang.That was the start of my new life.Day and night I had to go to the gym to make sure my body is well built. I was given education and at the same time, I was healthily fed.
I got punched, got beaten, broke my bones all over my body countless times. I got shot several times but all of that paid off and I became tough.
I took many bullets for my friends who worked with me. I had the respect of all the men working in the 'devil' gang. I trained for seven years.
I met my family. My parents weren't that pleased with my job but they told me it's only because it's too dangerous and that I could die and they didn't want to lose their eldest son. However, they expressed their love and support for me a lot of times already.When I was 17 years old Ace crowned me as the new leader.
FLASHBACK
People gathered around the secret mafia base for the coronation of the new leader.Tyler was wondering who would be his new boss since he's been working for Ace who was retiring already.Ace looked at his one hundred most trusted men, walking towards the center of the secret mafia headquarters.
"As you may all know, I have become old and ready to retire. You all are my most trusted men and I expect all of you to protect your future boss like how took care of me!" The old man said. Tyler smiled at the said old man.
He was sad that the man who made him stronger was going to retire. Ace King was a great, fair leader and always took care of his men. Tyler made a lot of trusted friends and it was all thanks to the man who brought him here, Ace-King.
Tyler was here because of his own hard work but also because of the man named Ace-King who took him to his shelter."Who do you think should get the title?" The man teased.In fact, Tyler wondered the same. He was sure that Graham would be the new boss since he was the most hardworking man.
"Tyler Baron" Everyone shouted in unison.He looked around to see all of them looking at him. He didn't found a single trace of jealousy instead he found respect in their eyes.
Graham approached him with a smile, his eyes filled with pride. Graham was proud that the little boy he used to train was now his boss.
"It would be an honor to work under your commands, Tyler" Graham praised and Tyler was shocked when the man kneeled on the floor and bowed.Wait, what?
One by one all of them bowed and kneeled before him. Tyler couldn't utter a single word.This was his family. Tears filled his eyes for the first time. He didn't expect any of this.However seeing all of these men, bowing, putting their trust in him. He cants help but feels proud and honored.
" You have yourselves a new boss" Ace announces smiling."Welcome the fearless boy who killed hundreds of men in the last seven years to protect his comrades, the boy who was thin and scrawny but wasn't weak, then who worked the hardest to protect us, to helo his family us. We are all present here to accept Tyle Baron as the new boss of the devil gang"
All of the men present cheered loudly, getting up. All Tyler could think wasI AM THE LEADER NOW AND IM GOING TO MAKE ACE PROUD OF ME.IM GOING TO PROTECT THEM ALL WITH MY WILLPOWER AND STRENGTH.Because they are my family.
He looked towards the door to his mom, dad, and fourteen-year-old Terrence, his little brother clapping their hands with pride.All of the men held respect for him.Tyler smiled.This was his new family now.
END OF FLASHBACK
That was one of the happiest days of my life. I was able to become closer to the trusted men that were with me through the hard days.Too bad that Ace wasn't able to see me physically anymore because of an attack before but I know that he'll watch over me. Sadly the only thing he left me is a letter that can not be read at the moment. He says at the right time but when will that be? Who knows!It was very hard being the new boss. It feels so terrible to lose comrades on the battlefield and mourn them after. But I think that I should just be a lot tougher to protect them in the near battles of the future.Going back, I am very pissed to see that this fucking good for nothing old man just wasted my money on gambling. I'll make sure that he'll pay the price for this.
