Chapter- 3 THEIR FEAR MAKES ME HAPPY

Ambrose POV

My father had finished speaking with me and had exited the room; the guards approached me and congratulated me on becoming the owner of the most well-known corporation.

I am the CEO of that corporation, and I will make all of the choices, not my father.

"I am really glad for you, Ambrose, you are now the owner of the crystal company," Jeremiah said as he approached me.

"Yes Jeremiah, I am not the owner of the most famous company which belongs to my dad but I am not happy because this is not my company!!."

"Come one Ambrose, I know this is not your company but it's if your dad's right, so whatever is of your dad's it will be yours, so be happy, assume as if it's your own company, you might feel better."

"Let's see Jeremiah, I will try to make this company more successful, so that I can prove myself!!."

"Yes you will Ambrose, now let's leave because we need to also get ready for the party!!."

"I am not going to the party!!."

"Why??, What happened??, It's your party and you should attend it!!."

"I am not in the mood, Jeremiah, that is the reason why I don't wanna attend this party, it's for my dad not for me."

"It's for you, your dad has kept it for you Ambrose, he just announced it in front of everyone!!."

"Yes he did announce that party is for me but in reality it's not for me Jeremiah, it's for himself because he is leaving this country forever and this is like a farewell party for him, he is my dad and I know him very well!!."

"Oh!, I didn't expect that."

"Yes Jeremiah, sometimes things don't happen according to your expectations when the reality is totally different, I live in the real world and not in the world full of fantasies, anyways let's leave now because I am feeling suffocated here."

"Ambrose, you should attend this party because if you don't your dad will get furious and you know very well he is capable of doing anything!!."

"I am not afraid of him anymore and I don't care what he does next!!."

"Okay fine Ambrose, then we should leave."

We headed towards the car, Jeremiah opened the door for me and when I was supposed to take a seat I was stopped by my dad's guard.

"Where are you going Prince??." He questioned me.

"I am going back to my mansion, any problem!!."

"Let me remind you that there is a party tonight and you should stay here instead of heading back to your mansion".."

"I am not attending the party, that is the reason why I am headed back to my mansion!!."

"Okay fine, you can leave but first talk to your dad because I am not gonna let you go until you talk to the king."

"Fine then", i headed towards my dad's room, Jeremiah followed me but he was stopped by my dad's guard.

"You are not going anywhere, you are staying back here," he stopped him.

I turned behind and looked towards Jeremiah,

"Wait for me, I will be right back!!".

"Okay!!."

I headed towards my dad's room. His guard opened the door for me.

My dad was standing near the window, his back faced towards me while his hands were in his pocket.

I entered inside, "you wanted to talk to me??," I questioned him.

"Where were you going, Ambrose??"He questioned me.

"I am going back to my mansion."

"Aren't you aware that there is a party tonight??," He questioned me, his back still facing towards me.

"Yes I am aware that there is a party tonight but I don't wanna attend it!!".

"Why so??."

"I am not in the mood to attend it!!.

"When I told you that this party is especially for you, the company is now in your name, when the guests arrive what will I tell them??."

"You can tell them that I am sick!!".

"So you want me to lie to them, Ambrose??," He looked towards me with anger in his eyes.

"How dare you tell me to lie to our people, let me show you my true color Ambrose, so that next time you won't disobey me!!."

"I am not scared of you anymore, you can do whatever you want!!."

"Fine then, I will do whatever I want, but first come here let me show you something."

He called me towards the window and I headed towards him. What I saw next made my heart skip a beat.

Jeremiah was kneeling on the ground and my dad's guard was holding a knife in his hands.

"You are attending the party or you are gonna face the consequences!!."

I couldn't let Jeremiah die because of me, so I agreed to attend it.

"Fine, leave him!!!, I will attend the party!!."

"That is like my good son."

"Leave him now dad!!," I said in a loud tone.

"Next time I will not think twice before taking this step!!."

"Dad why are you like that, it's not Jeremiah's fault, if you want, then punish me not him because I told him that I would not attend this party!!

"If it's your fault, I won't punish you but I will punish the people you like, and Jeremiah is the closest to you, that is the reason why he is kneeling there".

I didn't say anything because I knew that my dad is capable of doing anything, and I cannot let my close and loyal people die. I have already lost my close friend. Now I cannot lose Jeremiah, he is my loyal and most trusted bodyguard.

I got out of my dad's room and headed towards Jeremiah, his head was bleeding.

I helped him get up from the ground, and took him to my room.

"Are you okay Jeremiah??,"I asked him.

"Yeah... ahh.. yeah I.. I am fine,"he said while breathing heavily.

He was tired as my dad's men had beaten him up.

Jeremiah is strong, he is good at martial arts.

"You could have saved yourself Jeremiah, why didn't you??," I questioned him.

"Yeah I could Ambrose, but your dad would hurt you if I tried to save myself, he has done this before right, hurting you. I still remember that day, you were bleeding very badly, you had four stitches, your wounds were so bad."

"You don't need to worry about me, you know very well I would not let anything happen to you."

"Ambrose, you are strong and you should move on if anything happens to me, don't be weak!!."

"You know very well I am not at all weak, but I won't let anything happen to my close people, and you are my loyal friend, so how can I let anything happen to you."

"So are you going for the party tonight??," He questioned me.

"Yes I am Jeremiah because if i didn't attend the party my dad can do anything, he is capable of doing so and I don't know what he is gonna do next because he is unpredictable!!."

"I Know Ambrose!!."

"Stay still, let me bandage your wounds."

"You don't need to do it, I can do it myself!!."

"I know you can do it yourself but this is because of me so let me help you."

I removed a bandage from the first aid kit and applied some medicine to his wounds and then I bandaged it.

"You are fine now??."

"Yeah I am okay Ambrose!!."

"That is great, now let's get ready for the party."

"Yeah you are right!!."

Jeremiah got out of my room and I headed towards the washroom.

I took a warm shower and wrapped my towel around my waist.

I then headed towards my wardrobe, I took a grey suit and grey trousers.

I wore I white shirt and grey tie, i got ready for the party, I was not in mood to attend this party but I had to attend it because of my dad.

I got out of my room and headed towards the living area where the party was going to be held.

I came down the stairs, I could see that the preparation was already done, the living area was decorated with lighting and white flowers, there was a bar and some of the guests had already arrived.

Jeremiah then headed towards me, "your dad is gonna arrive shortly."

"Yeah I know Jeremiah, I don't want to attend this party but because of him I have to attend it."

"Ambrose it's just a matter of a few hours and then we will head towards our Mansion we won't spend the night here."

"I can't spend even a single minute with him, Jeremiah, I just wanna go home, I don't wanna spend time with my dad, I feel very uncomfortable because you know his habits!!."

"I can understand Ambrose, now come on let's meet the guests."

"Yeah you are right, come on."

Before going towards the guests my dad's guard headed towards me with a mask in his hands.

"You need to wear this!!." He said.

It was a grey mask, I looked towards my dad's guard.

"This mask but why should I wear it??," I questioned him.

"Just wear it prince when your dad arrives he will explain everything to you."

I took the mask from his hand and I wore it.

I headed towards some guests and asked them if they were enjoying the party.

"I hope you are enjoying the party!!," I told one of the guests.

"Yes I am prince, the party is going on really good, where is your dad??," He questioned me.

"He will be here in sometime, he just got some important work."

"Congrats prince, you are now the CEO of your dad's company!!."

"Yes and now it's not my dad's it's mine."

"Yes it's all yours now, and very soon you will be the king like your dad, as you the heir to his throne."

I smiled at him and then headed towards the other guests but greeting them and asking them the same question.

After a few minutes the hall was filled with guests. Many guests had arrived and so my dad.

My dad then stood on the stage with a mike .

"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like your attention here."

As he said this everyone stopped talking amongst themselves and they looked towards my dad.

"I want to make an announcement that my son, Ambrose, who is your Prince, has today taken his first step in our work, he is already trained to be the future king but today he is the CEO of my company.

He will be handling it from today onwards,

I would like you all to wish him good luck and give him your blessings.

They all then clapped for me.

Everyone there greeted me and congratulated me for becoming the new CEO in my dad's company.

My dad then headed towards me with a drink in his hand.

"Have this son," he handed me the drink.

I took the drink from his hand and I took a sip.

"Why did you want me to wear this mask??," I questioned him.

"I don't want anyone to know how you look, Ambrose, because I still want to keep your Identity hidden from everyone!!."

"Are you ashamed of me dad??." I questioned him.

"No son I am not ashamed of you but I am very proud of you because you have become a very dangerous guy, everyone fears you and they named you the devil Prince, I am so proud of you son."

"I am proud of myself too, dad, because I love when people fear me, I love to see the fear in their eyes that they have for me, I get happiness in that dad."

"These are the symptoms of a true Mafia, and you are doing great son!! I am waiting for that day to arrive when you will become the king just like me, everyone will bow down before you and they will fear you more!!, You will not imagine the happiness that you get from that!!."
