Painful past of a mafia

John looked at rose and asked, "Do you want to know why I did all this?" Rose nodded her head. Her hand was sweaty. A bead of sweat from in Rose's forehead. She did not know why she was feeling so restless. But she can't do anything. She could only listen to him. John started, "We all were 17 years old. Kim, Sophie, khan, henna, and Jim." Rose was confused about Henna and Jim. John saw her confused face and elaborated, "Henna is Ash's mother, khan's first wife, and Jim is henna's brother. My best friend. We all used to lead a carefree life. I was the poorest in the group. But they never discriminate against me. We were happy, but one day Khan proposed to Henna. We were all shocked. As we did not know, khan loved her. Henna asked to give her some time. In the meantime, I always loved your mother. But I was afraid she might reject me because I was poor. I never got the courage to propose to her. Jim knew about my feelings for your mother. So he asked me to tell her. And I did." John paused and looked at rose. Rose was thinking did her mother agree to it. John continued, "I still remembered that day. The forecast said that it would be a sunny day, but that day it rained heavily. I went to the cafe, and she also went there. That was the first time we were meeting alone. Another time we met in the group. Therefore, we were awkward. She was so nervous that she dropped her coffee in her dress. In addition, when she wanted to go to the washroom, she slipped. I gave her a hand. When she took it, I felt like I had everything in my hand. And immediately, I told her that I loved her. She was beyond shock. She stopped taking a breath. Then I told her to breathe, and she did. She hurried, left my hand and went to the washroom. I thought I was rejected, as she did not reply. But when she returned, she said only one thing. That was yes. I didn't get why she was saying yes out of the blue. But later, I understood and was about to hug her. She said, "Only after her parents agree." Now I was afraid. Who would want to give their princess to a poor beggar? And as I thought, they disagreed. But Sophie said, "If I get a business to stand and work hard, then we can date." Her parents agreed. So I saw hope and started to plan. Jim comes in and says that he will invest. We both started an export business. We export different products from one place to another, sometimes even in another country. Our business was running smoothly. We were 19 years old. My business was stable with money to run a family. Not much, but at least we can live a comfortable life. So I went to Sophie's house. But this time, what I learned shocked me. Her parents told me that Sophie was already engaged to Kim. Then why did they lie? Why did they give me hope for two years? I came out of the house. Sophie followed me and said that she was very sorry. She didn't know about it. She came to know about it that day. I did not believe it. I told her she hid the truth and only loved the money. She said that she loved me. Not now, but the first time she met me. When I offer her a hand when all her books fall on the ground. That was the first time we met. She said that she planned to be confused when we would graduate. But I proposed to her before. She said that if she had to go against her parents' decision, she would. Because she loved me. I was happy. So I said that we should date. She agreed. Here, Kim learned about us dating. But he didn't stop us. He knew that Sophie loved me from the beginning. And I knew that Kim loved your mother. But for her happiness, he left us alone. We were doing great until one day, and I met a client. He said that we could export goods to another country. His offer was good. We checked the product and saw it was a doll. They are exporting dolls. So we agree. On Henna's twenty, Khan asked her to marry him. For three years, they were dating. So we were happy. Khan and Kim were good friends. They, too, started working on their father's business. Everything was good when on Kim's birthday they announced that Kim was going to marry Sophie. Kim and Sophie opposed. But they said that they have to because of collaboration. I went to Sophie's house to beg them. That was the worst day of my life. They insulted me and didn't let me see Sophie. They said I was a bastard with no father. They said I was a beggar who wanted to get their child and their money. They insulted me in every possible way. And when I came out, I vowed to earn more than them. Sophie's marriage got fixed in three months. So I don't have the time. I needed quick money. And that person who exports the doll called me. They said they would have a big offer, but it is a bit risky. I asked what about it. They told me that they would export heroin inside the doll. If I agreed to it. First, I said I wouldn't. I have never committed a single crime. Hell, I never even smoke at that age. When I talked to Jim, he said it is risky. But he said if we need fast money, we need to take the risk. And Sophie is getting engaged next month. So after thinking about it, both Jim and I agreed. We export one cargo of heroin. We got the money. We were happy. Money was paid after it reached another country. Like this, we export two cargo in one month. One month came to an end, and your mother ran away from her house. She came to my home. She said she ran away. I was happy that she loved me enough to come to me. We ran to a different city. I told Jim to handle the business for some days. Sophie and I were happy in our little world. But all the happiness died when Sophie opened the door in the morning. We lived for five-night together. The police came and arrested me. I didn't know why I was arrested. They said that I tripped off my friend and killed him. I was shocked. Then they said that I kill Jim. And they had the evidence. Not only that, I killed him for smuggling money. Moreover, the witnesses were Kim, Khan, and Henna. I told them I didn't, but they never listened. Sophie got shocked and asked me why I agreed to run away and told Jim to handle the business. She slapped me and left. In court, it was proven that I was the reason behind his death. And I took the money. I knew it was the dealer who did this. They exported the goods, and when they thought we might cause them harm, they killed Jim and blamed me. And they proved that I was the one who made the deal. Police could not track down the one with whom we dealt with. All my evidence is in the drain. Sophie left me. My friend is dead. No one was by my side. And when I was sentenced to lifelong imprisonment, they were happy. They said their brother was now at peace. The real culprit was finally punished. I was moved to the central prison. After two months I saw in the newspaper that Sophie and Kim got married. It was two months old. That means when I was suffering from life and death, they got married. All my happiness burned to ash. I vowed to take revenge on them. And It took me ten years to have connections in prison and make the east faction." Hearing the east faction rose was shocking. Ash and all other business tycoons were trying to find the real master east faction. Who would have guessed a prisoner ran it. He handles all the illegal issues behind the bar. Soon his mastermind made it to national terror. No one opposed it until Ash came. He stood up and fought against it. So everyone admired him. Now that Rose knows who the mastermind was, and she understood why it was so tough to find the owner of it. He said, "When I got out of jail, the first thing I did was to make a plan to kill you and your mother. I also succeeded until Henna came in between. And she got killed." "What?" Rose had a hard time understanding the meaning. Does that mean that the accident when she was nine years old was not an accident?

Hi guys, more of John's past is revealed. He was the leader of the east faction and mastermind behind all the crime. But the back story of his was sad. As I believe, no one is born a villain. The circumstances made them. Therefore, we must try to choose the right path. Remember, there is no shortcut in our life. So work hard and be happy. Thank you, and see you all in the next chapter. Love you all.
