A spy

Maya’s POV

He looked shocked, and he tried to mask it up with a fake confused face but it was a little too late we had already seen the first expression, he is Adric’s Godfather, he has seen this man grow and he is the father to that witch, he knew something. He has always known.

“What do you know about the murder of my mom and sister?.” Adric asks again, I can feel him lose his patience, I quickly hold his hand to stop him from losing his temper, he can’t start yelling at the old man, I know he has enough respect for him not to yell.

Calls glances at her father, she looks nervous, she knows something. I am fully aware of that expression it was one Chanel always had when she did something bad and she doesn’t want anyone to know, I knew her more than anyone so I was able to get the truth out of her.

She fiddled with her fingers, why was she nervous? She glanced at her father again.

A thought crossed my head. She knew something about his murder and I have a feeling she has known for a while. The way she looked nervous she was scared her father would let everyone know she had been aware all this while.

If she has, why hasn’t she said anything? A series of questions rushed through my head. Maybe it’s just me overthinking, it could be something else, everyone was too focused on her father to even notice what she was doing but I had eyes on everyone in this room.

A small smile crept through my face when her father sighed and started to speak.

“I’m sorry, I should have told you sooner but I couldn’t, I made him a promise.”

“My father,” Adric asks and the man nods.

“He wanted you to be strong and be the most feared, your mother and sister caused you to feel, they made you less fearful because you have an urge to care for them.”

“So he fucking killed them because of that.” Adric yells.

“He regretted it every single day till he died, he didn’t want to do this but he had to, he killed them so you wouldn’t have any weaknesses when you become leader and he paid Santiago enough not to have you murdered.”

Fuck, that’s messed up, I know how much this is going to make Adric hate his father more, he already hates the bastard as it is but this, I can’t believe a man would do this to his child, he made Adric traumatized, he made sleepless nights because of this, all because he cared for his mom and his sister.

“So it’s my fault, they died.” He muttered so low, I was the only one that heard.

“No baby, it’s not. Don’t blame yourself because of your father’s twisted mind.” I whisper and he nods.

“What else do you know?.” I ask in a firm voice.

It’s not time to be keeping secrets.

“That’s all, he told me what he did one drunken night and promised me not to tell anyone, Calla- daddy told me he knew something.” She says interrupting him.

She knew about this for a while but she chose to never inform Adric, he is her best friend for the love of God and she did this to him, she watched him struggle with nightmares but never felt the need to tell him, I will be having a talk with her after this.

“The Spanish cartel won’t stop, so as Santiago. Your father created an agreement with me, he will protect you from being murdered as long as you don’t try to find or kill him, it is all the agreement, he will protect himself if it happens.”

“So we breached the contract when we supposedly murdered his wife,” Stephen asks and the man nods.

Now we are in a lot of trouble, not only did Adric breach a mafia contract but now he has a killer on the loose who would do anything in his power to hurt Adric.

“What else do you know? Maybe about the Spanish cartel or the French mafia.” Stephen asks.

Adric was focused on his thoughts, I know he needs some time alone to process everything that has happened.

“The Spanish cartel has some beef with your father but I am doing some business with them, I can help. If you are able to capture one of them that will confess they did this to Santiago, everything will come to an end.”

“Calla you never informed us your father is in touch with the Spanish cartel.” I smile.

The bitch knew every single thing but she kept quite.

“I was going to, Amaya.” She gritted through her teeth. One could sense the annoyance coming from her voice.

I could care less, I would expose her, she knows too much and she won’t share. We could have ended this going war if she had informed us of everything but she never did.

“I will get you all the details you need and I will have the agreement sent to you, as for the French mafia I won’t worry about them if I were you, they never fight someone’s war.”

That’s a relief.

He would be going home to bring those files but I don’t trust Calla to bring them back.

“Stephen how about you follow Calla’s dad to get the files.” I smile at him, he knew I was about up to something and I am glad he got the message and agreed.

“I will be going, no need to stress Stephen, I’m sure he has things to go back to.”

“I will be happy to join, I will be able to ask your father some questions if I don’t understand the files.” He says earning a smile from me.

After they left, I took Adric back into our bedroom, he hasn’t said anything for a while now, I can’t even imagine what he is going through.
