Son Of Darkness

Chapter -4 The Mafia King

John didn't think he would lose his grandma after the long trip to the hospital; she was all he had left.

"She won't die." he told himself that.

After everything that had occurred in his life, losing another person was incredibly painful.

His grandma stared into his tear-filled eyes, unable to believe that the day would come when she would have to explain to him how his life had become such a tremendous mess.

“After the death of your mother I took you away from your father john. You have to know that.” She told him.

John was quite inquisitive and asked many questions because he was so eager to learn the truth.

“Why would you take me from my father grandma?” he asked her, and begging for answers.

“I was so scared about you dear, your father is heartless.” She replied and tears in her eyes.

The fact that his father was a ruthless mafia lord rather than a regular guy wasn't anything his grandma tried to hide from him or avoid answering.

He was known as James the mafia king of the city and was extremely wealthy. Some people said that he was a kind man, but his true nature is so complex that only those who have dealt with him directly or indirectly can truly understand him.

John was astonished to learn that he is the son of a mafia king and one of the richest men in the city.

Due to his father's numerous interpersonal conflicts, John's grandma used to remove him from his father out of fear for his safety at the time.

His life was a complete mess, killing and shooting were his routine to him, and he frequently got into arguments with either his wife or John's mother over it.

John's spirit took a big hit because of the reason his grandmother didn't hesitate to flee with him far from his home.

John continued talking while crying and refused to accept the truth. He had been bullied for many years. He held her responsible for all of his life's events.

How many times he was punched by men, embarrassed by his girlfriend, and betrayed by a different wealthy man.

She had a lot to say, but after seeing that his grandma had a point, she persuaded him that what she had done was for his benefit because his father posed a serious threat to him.

“Please forgive me john, I did it because I cared about you, and I still do.” she said.

“Oh grandma! I’m so weak today!” he replied.

After a heated discussion and argument, two guards abruptly unlocked the room's door.

John and his grandma were curiously watching what was going on when a stranger abruptly entered the room.

"The mafia leader makes money off of death, pain, and other inhumane atrocities. Nothing, not even money, can mask that stink.” He appeared to have overheard John and his grandma speaking, the stranger continued.

John paused in his conversation with his grandma to take a glance at him and realized that he was unique.

When the man was ready to get closer, John rushed to enquire about the man's identification since he could sense something in his father's eyes ”Who the hell is you”.

“I’m your father john.” Without any hesitation, the man affirmed it. His real father, who had been missing for a long time.

After everything that occurred and after many years, it was difficult for his grandmother to accept the truth in the end, and she broke down in tears because she couldn't believe she would ever see him again.

“Oh you are here!” his grandma said.

“I’m here my son, I won’t let you anymore.” The father said.

“Please dear take my hand!”  That was John’s grandmother's final glance at him; she held his hand and urged him to follow his heart while apologizing for all that had happened to John.

James was a little upset about it and blamed her, saying that he would have a better life if she hadn't taken him.

Grandma John's heart stopped beating, and she passed away.

Sadness permeated every area; the house was occupied by the spirit of the dead, and the yard was devoid of the red flowers that his spirit enjoyed tending to.

The entire situation was explained to John by his father, and John also informed his father of the events involving Jennifer and the wealthy man Steven.

Steven was devastated by what had happened to his kid, but his grandma was to blame since she had kept everything a secret.

It's too late to hold her responsible or go back in time; the present is what matters most right now.

The mafia king James, who is so wealthy that he controls the entire city, told John that he would succeed him and grow to be the biggest, strongest man on earth, and that no one would dare to humiliate him once more.

“I promise you son that you will be the king of this city, and no one will dare to say a word.” James told his son john.

“Dad! Don’t let me alone again.” John asked.

He promised to make his son the only candidate to succeed him as the city's new king and to throw a big celebration to announce it.

James referred to his kid as the "son of darkness" because he could see his melancholy and gloom, but that is no longer the case because he has become the new king of the present and the future.

He was reminded of Jennifer's betrayal of him with Steven when someone referred to him as the son of darkness. He had a sudden depression. John refused his father's request to travel with him for the sake of the father.

James was surprised by John's response and wondered why he would refuse, but John explained that he needed time to consider it and a break from everyone and everything.

His father instructed him to go home and reflect on what had transpired today before giving him an address to locate him. His father, like any other father, could see that John is still in love with Jennifer.

John and Jennifer's love is restrained by treachery.

When John went home again, he was shocked to see Jennifer and his mother-in-law there.

John was about to become upset and begin yelling when Jennifer approached him, hugged him, and apologized. She also tried to defend what had happened to him, saying that she had been powerless to stop it in order to keep her job with her boss.

In an effort to make fun of him and convert him like a slave once more, she returned home with her mother. She wanted to live like a princess once again and acquire a slave with her mother because her new lover lives outside of the city.

No one is aware that John has now returned to a different person following the passing of his grandmother and the reappearance of his father, the mafia king. This is to John's happiness.

John went the following morning to the location where his father had instructed him to go because it was yet another reason that he had no choice but to become the new king of the city.

Many guardians and a large castle where his father resided already know that he is a mafia sort of son.

John entered and headed straight for his father's office with one of the guards stationed there. When he was taken aback by the castle's architect and how many servants and guards the castle had.

After meeting his father, John realized that everything will eventually work out for the best. In addition to being affluent, he will also become the most powerful person the city has ever known.
