The Mafia's Temptation

Daniel Kingston

~ Daniel's POV ~

“Daniel,  pick up the damn call. It’s been ringing for a while now. You do know that you will have to face him eventually, right?”, said my best buddy Jason whilst he lightly punched on my arm.

I only rolled my eyes at him.

“Ahh! you can see I am driving and while driving I don’t pick up damn people’s call”, I asserted while I tightly clenched the steering wheel.

I don’t want to hear that man’s name. At least not right now.

“Hey! he’s the mafia leader of Orleans city and more to that he is your father”, Jason said in a calm voice and my complete focus was on driving.

Yeah, he is a great mafia leader, but I can’t say the same thing about being a father. Well, as if I care.

I kept my foot on the accelerator and took a sharp turn and after that, I respond to him with a smirk on my face, “No, correction, he is not a father, he is only a mafia leader for me, but that also won’t stay for too long.

The phone started to ring again. So, I picked the call and asked him the reason for his sudden interest in talking with his son, “Mr Kingston, what’s the matter which needs to be taken care of this time. It’s rare for you to remember me without any reason.”

I want to end this call as soon as possible. Whenever I talk with this person I just feel nauseous.

“Daniel, you have to deal with that Samuel. That fly is becoming a headache now”, my so-called father said to me in a cold voice whilst I stopped the car.

“Understood. I will deal with it, sir”, I replied to him and he just ended the call.

He never cares for what I do and how I am. All he cares about is his work and money.

I again started the car and headed towards Samuel’s house.

Jason was silently sitting beside me whilst his eyes were fixated on me. He knows that whenever I talk with that man my mood just gets spoilt.

After driving for a while I finally arrived at Samuel’s house.

I then got out of the car and Jason followed me.

The door was locked so, I simply opened the door of his house with a bang.

Samuel was cooking something in his kitchen. The moment his eyes fell on me, he gasped in shock.

“Samuel, what’s cooking? Did you miss me? I hope that I didn’t make you wait for too long”, I asked him with a smug on my face. His eyes were fixed on my handgun.

I told him with a smile, “Don’t you worry I will not give you such an easy escape from life by just triggering the gun”.

I threw away the handgun and said to Samuel in a cold voice, “You will enjoy your slow and painful death, but before that let’s have the food with some chit-chat, shall we? See, I am not that bad of a person. I will let you have the food before finishing you off”.

I asked him a simple question because in this city no one goes against us.

“How did you gather that much courage and thought of giving the evidence against us to the officials. Don’t you know that no law can touch us?

I am the law here”.

Then suddenly my eyes just went to his family photograph so happy and normal and I just hated that smile on their faces. I picked and threw that photo frame in anger.

Samuel grabbed my collar for that which made me feel vexed at him.

How dare this man hold my collar!

I didn’t have a second thought I say him a final goodbye.

I punched him in the face and he fell on the floor. I took the knife from the table and cut his fingers with a smirk on my face.

He was begging me to let him go, but his painful screams were just like a melodious tune for my ears.

I stabbed him again and again in his stomach leaving him in a pool of blood to death.

I looked at Jason and asked, “Why do people make me feel so angry and that’s another blood on my name”.

I then told Jason to open the gas pipeline as I don’t want any trace to be left behind.

He just nodded his head as he knew saying a word at that moment would have brought the hell out of me.

We came outside of Samuel’s house and lit the house on fire with a lighter.

The house started to burn down in front of me and I only smiled while looking at it.

After walking towards the place where I have parked the car, I glanced at my clothes which were stained with blood spots of Samuel’s.

“Tsk, my whole shirt is ruined because of that f*****g bastard,” I clicked my tongue in annoyance whilst I looked at Jason.

While I was driving the car, my mobile phone suddenly started vibrate.

Why is Jamie calling me?

I immediately picked up the call, “What’s the matter, Jamie? Do you need me to bring something for you?”

“Brother, where exactly are you? Father, is again making me meet some weirdos for his business ventures. He is setting up an alliance between two mafia gang in the name of marriage. You have to do something or else I will go insane”, she begged me while I can hear her sobs on the call.

I responded to her whilst stopping in front of the mansion, “Don’t worry, I am here. Let’s see who is brave enough to face Daniel Kingston.”

I ended the call and walked towards my bedroom to take a shower and change these blood stained clothes.

Finally, it feels good to take a nice shower. After changing my clothes, I headed towards Jamie’s bedroom.

“Brother, I am so relieved to see you. Dad is constantly nagging me to meet some guy in the club. I have met some of them and believe me that none of them were interested in me, but they were more interested in the Kingston’s inheritance. I don’t want to settle down this soon.

You know that I want to only focus on my studies, but because I am a girl, I am just useless pawn for father which he can dispose of at any moment”, she said in a low voice while her eyes were swollen and her face was covered with tears.

I then walked towards her direction and kept my hand on her head and walked out of the door.

I am not good with words so, I left her room without saying anything to her.

Jason  was waiting for me in the main hall of the mansion. He asked me the reason for my anger and I only smirked at him.

“We need to take care of someone again, but this time it’s personal. Someone is going to regret being born.

Let’s go and have some fun in the club. It’s been too long that I have visited that place”, I exclaimed to Jason while he looked at me with a confused expression on his face.

That man is stooping low by the day.

How dare he to use Jamie for his selfish reasons!

I think it’s the right time to make some changes in this place.
