Kidnapped By The Mafia Prince

Love Is Toxic

Ambrose POV

"Jeremiah you know everything about me, my in and out. There is nothing hidden from you. It hurts when you force me."

Jeremiah said, "Aren't you aware that I am always worried about you?It's now time for you to get back to work Ambrose!!," His face looked tense as he spoke to me.

I said to myself, "I don't want anything that belongs to my dad. I never wanted to be a prince too but I agreed because he is my dad and I love him and there is no one other than him in my life."

"You know, Jeremiah, I'm still not ready!!!" I said, trying to make him understand.

"If you're going to do it one day, why not today?".he questioned me

"I don't want to work for my father's company; I have my own, so why should I take over his?." I tried to explain to him.

"He wants you to be a good Mafia, which is why he wants you to take over his company, which I know you will." He said.

"Jeremiah, my heart is not willing to do it!!."

"Why bother about your heart??Ambrose, when you never had one?."

"Yes, you're right. I don't have a heart and never will, because I've always been told that falling in love makes you weak, and a weak person will always be slow to succeed , so I'll never fall in love or care for anyone as love makes you weak"

"Then that's OK, Ambrose; just do it because your father says so!!."

I sat down in my coach sipping my coffee.

"Okay then, when should I join??." I said with a sigh.

"Your dad told you to meet him today".

I am not in the mood to meet him today. I should be excited to meet my dad but instead I don't feel like facing him.

"Today??Why not tomorrow??." I said as I got up from my seat.

"That is because he is going out to complete some unfinished business, that is the reason why he is handing everything to you." Jeremiah said as he followed me behind.

"All right Jeremiah, I'll meet him today to take over his business; I've already proven myself capable of doing so."

"I know Ambrose, you're a tough guy with a lot of experience." He said with a small smile on his face

"Of course, Jeremiah, talk to my father and tell him I'm coming to see him." I said.

"I'll be there in an hour." I said as I headed towards the shower.

"Sure, Ambrose, I will get the car ready and I will also inform your father," saying that he left.

"Great." I said.

He walked out of my room, I took a warm shower and then I went to my closet to get my black shirt and suit, which I would be wearing during my meeting with my father.

Things were playing in my mind like how would I start my conversation. It's difficult because my relationship with my father was not like other kids. I used to sometimes feel jealous of my friends when their father used to take them swimming or play football with them. They always had their father and mother with them during any function in school.

When I used to take part in any activities in school I had nobody to cheer me. My friends had a buddy relation with their fathers. I am feeling awkward as if I am going to meet some unknown person.

I put myself together and walked towards the car.

Jeremiah welcomed me. He opened the door of the car. .

We were now on our way to my father's mansion. Three cars of guards followed us.

After an hour, I arrived at my father's mansion. Jeremiah followed me into the mansion as I approached the front door.

My dad's assistant opened the door for us. "Your dad is waiting for you." My dad trusts him the most, and he is like Jeremiah for my dad.

"Fine," I said.

When I entered inside, my father was sitting near his desk, turning the pages of the file. He was focused on his paperwork and didn't notice me.

My father's assistant stood in a corner when I entered with Jeremiah.

Jeremiah stood near my dad's assistant.

I went to him, and said, "Hey dad!!"

"Oh, you've made it!! Please come in and take a seat!!."

He told me to take a seat in front of him.

I took a seat in front of him, and he remained engrossed in his paperwork.

"How are you doing, dad?" I inquired, as I had not seen him in a year or more and had not spoken to him for a long time.

He didn't look at me when he responded, "You know why I called you here," but it wasn't the answer to my query.

After a long time, his son finally came to see him, and this is how he spoke to him: he didn't ask me how I was doing. My father was very cold to me.

He was just concerned with his company, not with his kid, and sometimes I had the feeling that he is not my father.

I didn't say anything and just replied to the question that he had asked.

"Yes dad, I am aware of it, and I know why you called me here!!." I said in a soft voice.

"So what's your answer, are you ready son??" He questioned me

"Yes i am ready dad, I am totally ready". I replied with my head lowered.

"That is good to hear because all these years you just kept prolonging it, hiding from me, not talking to me, I am happy to hear that you are ready to take up the family business!!."

"I have no other option than to do this. I will do as you say." I said.

"Ambrose, I hope you understand me. I just can't allow anybody else to take over the business. I don't trust anybody. There are many of my men who are eying on this business, they just want to ruin me. You are my only son and I have lots of expectations from you. As I am getting older there are many things which I can't do. There are people waiting to kill me and take over everything. You are young and smart. You have lots of ideas in your mind, which could be beneficial for our business. I know in the past I had neglected you, I had no time for you. There are many things that are also negative in your mind for me. The way you are now is also because you had parents like us but the business which we are in now requires to be tough and strong. If you are full of emotions you can easily be a target of someone's bullet. You have to be alert all the time."

"Yes I am aware of that dad, that is the reason why I will not disappoint you dad."

"That's like my son!!!."

"I am happy that you have taken the right decision Ambrose, I am very proud of you son."

It was the first time I got to hear such words from my father, I really felt warm. There was some kind of happiness inside me, I felt like hugging him. Today I felt my dad was a different person. Maybe because he would always portray himself as a cold person to me. I wished I could tell him how much I missed him in these years. I don't know but there was a kind of fear which would not allow me to talk to my father frankly till today. I just kept on staring at him. My eyes didn't blink even once.

My dad then placed the file in front of me, "son I want you to see this."

"Yes dad," I said in a calm tone looking at the file that he just placed in front of me.

"What is in these files??," I questioned him.

"It's the paperwork that I want you to sign."

"What kind of paperwork??."

"It's the documents of the company, and this document says that you will be inheriting it, But don't you worry I will always be there whenever you need me. But I don't want my son to have any emotions. This business doesn't require it. My eyes are on you, don't dare to ruin my empire. It took me years to build it. You will be the head but that doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want. You will be the decision maker. I have made you the head so that the men obey you.

"Sign the documents son!!," He said in a strict tone.

His assistant placed the pen in front of me, I carried the pen and signed the first page. The assistant turned the page so that I could sign it.

I signed the documents just as my dad wanted, like an obedient son.

"You remember the rules right??."

"Yes I remember the rules dad."

"Let me repeat them again to you Ambrose, so that you don't forget them."

"Yes you can dad, but just let me tell you one thing, it's useless because I am not gonna break the rules."

"You can sleep with any woman, but don't fall in love with anyone. It could only lead to an obstacle.

"There will be people who will keep a watch on you Ambrose, so be careful of which steps you will be taking in the future."

"Yes dad, I will be careful, I know you will never allow me to do whatever I want. There will always be a watch over me.

"Good son, remember your words don't break your promise."

"I won't dad!!,"

"This company is all yours now, I want you to make it grow, I know that you are smart enough, you are the prince in the world of mafia, and I am the king, very soon you will be the king and all the other mafia gangs will work under you!!."

"I know dad, i know everything there is no need for you to remind me."

"I am your dad and it's my duty to remind you of everything."

"Okay dad."

"Before leaving we will have a small celebration, because you will be taking up my business, this business is huge and this calls for a party, i want you to attend this party tonight."

"Dad, will it be alright if I don't attend the party?. You can do it instead of me."

"No you can't run away like that, it's my order. You have to attend. I will be introducing you to everybody. It's a private party so don't worry."

"Okay dad." I said in a soft voice.

"Great son, i will be waiting for you to attend the party tonight, before leaving i want to spend some good time with you." He said with a huge smile.

"Yes dad, i will be there, I would love to spend some time with you as I am meeting you after 2 years." I said.

"Yes son, after two year I am talking to you, this party will be grand, I will be calling everyone in this party."

"Okay dad."I said with my face lowered.

"I am so happy son," saying this he hugged me.

I sat there on the chair as my father headed towards the door. My father was very happy but there was no happiness inside me. There was something which was killing me inside. It was a feeling that someone was dragging me into a deep hole. My mind was not stable, I was shattered. This decision wasn't easy. I knew in future I would have to go through alot. I will have to deal with weapons, drugs and many more things. Actually all the cruelty should have been in my blood, for my father was a very different person than me. His thoughts, mentality, there is nothing that matches with me.

Right now it looks like I am on a rollercoaster ride. But somewhere I feel I am not too good also. I have done all the evil things. I have never been good to anybody, I was always cold to people with no emotions. Right now I don't know what my heart or my mind wants. I feel I am just a puppet, just doing things that are told. I cannot understand my feelings as to why I am doing this. What makes me do this?.
