"Please my lord!!! Lend me the money,I promise to pay you back!! I just need to start up a business to take care of my family please!" The man cried in front of the mafia boss sitting down like a king on the chair smoking dangerously "So what if you can't pay back?" He asked in his cold scary voice The man kept quiet for a while before speaking up "I will give you my daughter" He finally said "I don't remember you having a daughter" The boss frowned "My wife gave birth yesterday,that's why I'm here for money...my lord" He said "Okay......deal" The boss said and immediately the man fell flat on the floor "Thank you so much!!!" The mafia boss turned to his men "Get him a bag and make him sign the contract" He ordered "Yes boss" The man was taken away after that. Soon enough,the boss's seven years old son came in with the mobsters,sweating all over as he had been training all day as usual. "Why are you here? Your training time isn't over" The boss said "Dad I'm tired......." "Never say that word in front of me again you weak human!!!" His father yelled and the boy broke into tears "No more tears!! Mafias are strong men,tears and weaknesses are taboos!!" He shouted "I want to play with other kids......" "How many times have I told you that you're not like other kids?" The boss stood up "Take him away,add extra two hours to his training session" He ordered his men "Yes boss!" And like that,they dragged the little boy out while he continue crying.
