I Bought Her

Secrets

Sevag’s pov

“It was years ago, when I started working with your father and mr. Zadigian. It was after your father saved my sister’s life. We used to live in a poor neighborhood and there were too many foreigners around us, most of them lonely guys who used to live all together in one room. Our home was in a very poor street between those hungry bastards. My sister was young and very beautiful girl, Garine. One day when I came home from work, I was shocked to see two guys sitting in our living room, both of them bruised and wet. That night was raining and too cold. Garine had turned on the heater and she was making tea for the both guys. I was about to explode when  Garine stopped me saying:-“Hovig don’t get mad, these guys saved me from those bastards who tried to rape me. Both of them attacked those guys and had a fight with them, saved me and they didn’t accept to leave me alone until I was safe with you.”

When I heard the words my heart was stopped. I didn’t know how to thank your father and mr. Zadigian. We became friends. We started to hang out all four. Day by day we got closer. My mother was very sick, and because I was working with your father, I had money to take care of her. Your father was a brave man, and very intelligent. He had a pure heart. I don’t want to lie to you, your father started to work underground business. He knew that he had no other choice to become wealthy without the black business. So he had business with drugs, guns and gambling. I swear to you, he never touched an innocent soul. He never sold lives or bodies. He didn’t have work with women, never selling their bodies for money. But he had a lot of girls around him, for he was a handsome man. Until he met your mom. He loved your mother from day one. He fell in love with her. Your mother had an angelic beauty, she was so innocent and your father had a weakness towards innocent people.”

“Wait wait wait, wait a minute, you are telling all together I can not understand a thing. Let me ask you and you answer, ok?”:-I said in a commanding tone.

“Ok son, I was excited I didn’t know where to start. Go ahead ask!”:- said Hovig.

“I understood how you met. But I want to know how my father and mr. Zadigian know each other.”:-I said interested.

Hovig:-“they were friends since childhood, they grew up together.”

Sevag:-“…and he killed my father!”

Hovig:-“ not exactly.”

Sevag:-“I guess I am not ready to understand.”

Hovig:-“ they grew up together. Your father was the wise one, he started the business, mr. Zadigian was his right hand. They started the business together, their power began to grow larger every passing year, I met them when the business was yet new, around 2 years, they weren’t wealthy, but they were digging to become rich men. When I met them, I joined them after your father asked me to join, he explained me everything they were doing, but they needed men whom they could trust, and because I owed them my sister’s life, I joined them without even thinking a minute. We were only three men, but with my help the plan worked better. When the business began to success, and we had money, other men joined us as workers. The business grew much bigger. Your father became a rich man in 4 years, mr. Zadigian was a rich man too, but the head of the business was your father. Mr. Zadigian was the second head and I was the third. Drugs, guns and gambling were the main business.

One day your father was playing poker in one of his underground poker halls, a man brought a young girl with him. Your father was restless, and he didn’t take his eyes off the girl, he liked her from the first look, but at the same time, he felt anger, she wasn’t suppose to be there. The girl was sitting quietly, looking around her in fear and confusion. 

The man who brought her was losing the game. When he lost his last money your father stood up and went directly near the man and asked him:-“how do you think you will pay for your dept?”

The man got confused and didn’t know what to answer. Everyone feared your father, he was a powerful and serious man. 

The man said:-“ you can take my daughter.”

The whole hall was shocked and broke into a deadly silence. Everyone knew about how your father was against selling souls and bodies. Everyone was waiting for your father’s reaction.

“I will take your daughter, but not because I am a soul or a body dealer, but because you don’t deserve of having an innocent daughter like her, because you are a son of a b***h to sell your daughter on a gambling table, because you are the worst father could exist on earth. I am taking your daughter, but you still have debt to pay.”

“What? How do you take my daughter and still ask me to pay.”Said the man. 

And at that moment, your fathers pulled his gun and shot the man in the middle of his forehead. The very first time your father used his own gun to kill by his own hands. Of course he didn’t get into jail, because one if his men, took the blame on himself. Your father cared for his old and sick mother in the asylum, she wasn’t even conscious, and until her death, he used all his power to take out the guy and here he is. Me.”

“What? Are you serious? Are you kidding me telling a movie or what?”:-I asked Hovig.

He laughed and said:-“ let me continue… do you want me to continue or what?”

“Sure, yes, tell me more.”:- I said excited in anger and disbelief. 

Hovig:-“ok, lets have another cup of tea. Mia… Mia.”

Mia:-“yes mr. Hovig, how may i help you?”

Hovig:-“please, may you bring us some more tea and biscuits or something to eat!?”

Mia:-“ yes sure.”

She brought the tea and some biscuits and cakes and left the room closing the door behind her.

Hovig:-“so, lets continue, where were we? Ohhh, yes. I went to jail. But I left after 2 years with your fathers help, and his power and a lot of money. I was finally out. But when I was in jail, we became more close to each other. Mr. Zadigian didn’t know about this closeness. Your father asked me to keep it a secret. He said he needed a trustworthy man for himself, and as much as I loved your father as a brother to me, I would have given my life for him. I accepted for sure, and in secret, he shared everything with me. While I was in jail, I filed everything he told me, I hid everything he gave. And they are all with me safe.”

“What are those hidden things?”:- I asked Interested in the subject.

“Whoa son, relax. First you need to know the story. Then you have to make a plan, then you will get all the necessary files and tools and informations with details, then build your army and finally attack.”:- said Hovig in a serious tone, which I never heard before.

“I am tired, may we continue later son?”:-he asked in a calm voice.

This man’s mood changes too fast from positive to negative and vice versa. 

“Ok, I need a rest too, I guess. I will be in my room studying.”:- I said and left to my bedroom. I took a quick shower and sat on my desk, 

The thick large books were scary, but as I remembered the story of my father and my future, the books seemed as if they were kids’s story books, I dig my head in them, a pen in one hand and my other hand on my laptop, reading, writing searching. I put in mind, I was going to revenge. I was going to take everything that my father owned and which they all belonged to me. But I didn’t yet know or I wasn’t sure of my enemy. I had many thing to listen, nothing has begun yet. 

It was 1:19am when I checked the time and went into my bed.
