2 The truth
The sound of laughter and conversation was evident in the large dining room, it was a harmonious environment, and in it you can see a family reuniting.
- Dad, did you know you're going to release a Harry Potter game??? I'm so excited.
- Oh really? Have you always liked this little witch ahahah, since movie one?
- No dad, I watched the movie after I read the first book!
Said Theodore, as if he couldn't believe his father forgot that obvious fact!
- Yes, love, you remember that I bought the book for Theodore in France during a shoot. I thought it would be great to practice his French. I just didn't know I was creating a little monster.
Pamela said laughing and remembering all the Harry Potter books and the wizarding world that she had to buy, apart from the clothes, games, items, movies and trip to the amusement park.
- Well champion, dad just decided to erase from his mind that his first book was in French and not in Italian.
Said Ezo with a grimace, because he doesn't spend much time at home, he and his wife have the habit of buying books and toys for their son in the countries they visit. His son, as innocent as he is, was a genius, spoke several languages, skipped grades at school and therefore began to have a special education at home.
Ezo knows that he is molding his son's education to the standards he was educated, but the dangerous part he will not implement. He knows he's a bit of a hypocrite for not wanting to quit his job but at the same time wanting to have a normal life.
At 10 pm the family began to get ready for bed, Ezo however would not go to sleep, I had a "meeting" scheduled at midnight. Saying goodbye to his wife, he went to his son's room.
- Hey champ, have you showered yet? Did he brush his teeth?
- Already dad, why are you tidy?
Asks the boy a little panicked, thinking that his father wouldn't spend Christmas with them and would go to work.
- I'm going on a meeting with your uncle Stefan and came back.
- Ahhh, when I grow up, I also want to go to the meeting with you.
- When you grow up, you'll have a better job than daddy's.
- But mom said I'm going to inherit the family business, I have to be like dad.
- You know champion, you are different from your father, you are more intelligent than your father, sometimes we must follow different paths to achieve new things. Have you ever seen a hero who doesn't seek adventure? So it is. You must seek out your own adventures.
Ezo kissed his son on the forehead and turned off the light in the room, he turned around and before closing the door he took one last look at the child lying down, not knowing that this was the last conversation he had with his son.
At midnight, in Los Angeles, a black car with well-armed men enters a second warehouse of two more luxury black cars, Ezo gets out of the first and his brother Stafan comes out of the second, with messy black hair, strong body, tall and calm blue eyes but wild when they need to be, in his hands he is dragging an average looking man who is badly hurt.
- I see you already broke it.
Said, Ezo looking at Gabriel, the organization's accountant at the time, all wounded and begging him not to at least hurt his family.
- Yes, when he saw his wife tied in the chair next to him being tortured he confessed.
- Well, bring his family.
- NO PLEASE, I BEG YOU, IT WAS ME... THEY DIDN'T KNOW... PLEASE...
- SHUT UP
Ezo, crouches down and looks at the man who has just been tortured, with cold eyes, as if he doesn't hear humanity, he speaks.
- you know what the penalty is for betraying the family, you will die, your wife will turn into a whore, then be killed, your son will be killed in front of you and your daughter will be trained to serve in one of our nightclubs.
- NO PLEASE... NOT MY CHILDREN... THEY ARE INNOCENT... PLEASE... 10 YEARS OLD HE'S ONLY 10 YEARS OLD...
Ezo gets up and kicks the man who continues to beg, Stefan then approaches dragging a woman and behind him two men come with a boy and a girl.
- Oh twins, well at least for now...
The woman who heard what Ezo said, started crying and begging loudly.
- PLEASE, PLEASE, I KNEW NOTHING... PLEASE... MY CHILDREN...
LET MY BABIES...
Ezo signals Stefan to place the woman on the side of her cheating husband.
-Ma'am, your dear husband is to blame for what will happen today. Because of him your dear little son will die, your little daughter will be sold to the highest bidder, and you will be the chain of the organization. But since I'm a good person, I'll give you the opportunity for revenge. STEFAN... give her a knife.
Ezo walks away and sits in a chair with his legs crossed, relaxed attitude and icy eyes, behind him are two armed guards.
- WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO... PLEASE... PLEASE... NO
- SILENCE... you're going to kill him, think about how your dear and beloved little boy will no longer live to play, grow and enjoy life, or how your dear daughter will be used by many of our customers.. and all for fault of her husband who cheated on us.
- NO, PLEASE...
