Caesar
One of the bodyguards opened the main door for us and we walked inside to see him sitting on the couch comfortably. For few seconds none of us said anything and only looked at each other. Each second that passed by was like hours for everyone present there because all of them knew what was to happen and only one person will step out of this house tonight. Either Dominik or me… This is a war that was bound to happen in this family.
When no one said any word, dad who was standing beside me took the initiative…
“Dominik, this is a war that you are bound to lose, everyone knows” He scoffed after hearing my dad and stood up before taking few steps forward towards me.
“Don’t you think I know that, son” He glanced at dad for a second before diverting his eyes to me again.
“Just look around me. All these people, my men are afraid of you and your little bitch” I was about to strangle him but Igor held my arm.
“One word from you and my body will be lying down here, lifeless”.
“Good, you know where your fate is going to be in next 5 minutes” I seethed because my hands were itching to free this world from one monster.
“I don’t think so that will be my fate. I write my destiny on my own and I don’t have wish to die so soon” He was smiling the whole time and just sat back on the couch.
He was so relaxed as if he isn’t going to die in next few minutes even when he knew that all these people around him can tear his head apart at one gesture from me… All this was making me uncomfortable and I knew something was not right. He can’t be this relaxed, he for sure have something up his sleeve.
I was about to speak when dad’s phone interrupted me…
“I really think you should pick that up” Dominik said when dad looked at his screen and I frowned at his remark.
“Hello?” The person from other side said something which made dad froze and he didn’t move.
“Dad! Dad!” I have to literally shout to bring him out of shock.
“Got the good news?” Dominik broke the silence in the room and I looked at him sceptical.
“What is happening, Lion?” Igor came on his other side.
“D-De-Dead” He was stuttering so much from shock that the second he said those words Igor and I looked at each other and for fist time, we both had fear written all over our face.
“Who?” Igor asked in low voice because like me even he was afraid to hear the name.
“Feodor!” Dad’s lips didn’t move which made us look at Dominik who had a sadistic smile on his face while announcing the name which made Igor and my eyes widened.
We all three only looked at him without uttering a word. It was so shocking for us to hear that we were not able to comprehend anything at that moment until…
“Where is Anya?” Dad was raging in anger.
“Oh don’t worry, I haven’t done anything to that little girl… until now”.
“Where is she?” I gritted and clutched my fists tightly.
“She’ll be with you soon but before that I want something” He soon indicated someone behind him to bring a briefcase.
“What are these?” He kept few paper on the table in front of us.
“All your properties, warehouses, deals and your…position will also be mine after you sign these documents”.
“I want to see her first” I said when he threw the pen on the table.
“Don’t test my patience, Caesar. Just sign the damn papers” He yelled but I witthold my stand and didn’t waver.
“First Anya, then sign” I crossed my arms and looked into his eyes to clearly show my confidence.
“Fuck!… Get her on line” He dialled a number before keeping it on speaker.
“He-Hello?” Anya’s scared voice came on phone and we all released a breath of relief.
“Anya, are you alright?”
“C! C! Pls, take me home. I am scared, C” She started crying as soon as she recognised my voice.
“Ok that’s enough” Dominik cut the call before I could say anything.
“Don’t forget, she is still with me” Dominik said while handing a pen to me.
I didn’t move an inch and just stood at the same place with pen in my hand. Not knowing what to do at that moment because one side Anya’s life is in danger and on the other whole world will be destroyed if Domink became the mafia king. I was just standing still and looking down at those papers without any clear decision.
“Time is running, Caesar. Anya’s life is in danger” Dominik’s words reached to my ears.
“You have only 10 seconds to decide otherwise next second Anya will be gone from this world” I hesitantly took a step towards the table. My each step was as heavy as a brick.
My heart was beating fast when I bend down and put the tip of pen on the paper. My mind was blank the whole time but at that moment, I don’t why but I looked at Igor who was standing beside dad. The second our eyes met, I saw him smiling at me. For a second, I didn’t knew the meaning of it but the minute he put his hand on heart, I jabbed the tip of pen in Dominik’s thigh who standing beside me.
“What the hell! Did you forget, Anya is still with me?” He shouted while holding the leg from which blood was flowing.
“Don’t worry about her” Igor chirrped in and came towards me.
“It’s time for us to handle you” He held my hand and looked at Domink with his bright smile on the face.
“Let the show begin!” I roared and looked at all the bodyguards around who screamed along with me.
