Chapter 14: CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Rosetta's Pov

My head spun. If I heard what Doom said right… Mr parents were killed by Asher?

"It must be tough right?" He asked again. "Seeing such a man in the same gathering. I have been watching your banter with him and it is understandable."

I nodded, pretending to process all that he had said. But my head didn't stop banging. Did Asher kill my parent? How could that be possible? It was Zayn. I was certain about that. I was taken by Zayn and he had told me if I wasn't going to give him my body, he was going to kill my parent.

I was thirteen at that time and I had been contemplating doing it, when he came back to say, he didn't need such a small pussy like mine anymore and my mother has replaced the satisfaction. Be also told it to my face that she passed out during the make-out and was probably dead.

A few hours later, he announced my father's death too. I had been shaking and it felt like the world was about to end. I hated Zayn from that moment and hated the fact that I had to live five years with my greatest enemy, before having freedom from him with the two years in jail.

From his look and build, Asher was barely twenty-nine. Where would he hold such power to have murdered my parent seven years ago? Had he always been an influential Mafia Boss? Was his plan bigger than my father's at the time?

"Understood?" Unheard Doom said.

"Yea, Boss!" I responded, even without hearing all he had been saying. He discarded me from the room instantly and I flashed into my room.

Picking up my phone, I dialed Kyler's number and he picked up for the third time. "Kyler…" my voice suddenly broke, but I braced myself up. "Do you know who Asher Grey is?" I asked.

"Is he at the competition?" Kyler asked.

"Yes. He is. I need to confirm what the fuck I just heard."

"Which is?"

"Zayn didn't kill my parents. Asher did." There was a long pause on the other end of the call and I had to say "Hello" again. "Speak please…" I tried controlling my emotions. Kyler was silent like he knew something about it.

"The truth came out while you were in prison"

"The truth. What truth?" I was impatient.

"Asher pulled the trigger…" his voice trailed. "He was the under-boss of Pablo Ricky at that time and was involved in your parent's death."

"And my mother…" I couldn't help it anymore, tears rolled down my cheek. "Did he truly rape her?"

"It is unsure, but I heard Asher and Zayn together with Pablo were involved. I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier. I wanted to after the heist, so we could figure out a way to go about it. That little boy Asher holds a lot of power and it wouldn't be easy to take him down, and that is why I sent you there, to gain enough power to be able to pull him down."

As tears dropped from my eyes, my anger heightened. The truth I was hearing was almost unbelievable. The only person I knew was Zayn as I had been very little, but the involvement of this so-called Asher, together with Zayn and Pablo…I couldn't quite sum it up.

"Who is Pablo?" I asked Kyler.

"Asher's boss. Dead now. Asher had killed him years after your parents died. Pablo was one of the biggest groups and Asher killing his boss and taking over made his rank higher. You must have seen he is very well respected."

"Such a selfish bastard!" I cursed.

"Control yourself around him, Rosetta. He would do anything to take you down because he knows you will be after him after you've gained power"

"Even before I gain power. I am going to kill that asshole!"

"Easy, Rosetta. Easy. You have everything you need now. Take it slow and do not lose it."

Kyler went on and on advising me on what to do and how to handle my emotions. When he ended the call, I kicked the door and growled loudly, burying my head into my pillow as I cried. 

I regretted ever using Asher's name to gain freedom from Zayn. They were all the same thing having the same mission. Zayn wasn't the bigger enemy here, but Asher. He pulled the trigger and he must have done a lot more than that to my parent. He even killed his boss. He was the dangerous one here and I would do everything to hit him just like he had hurt me.

I would do everything to stay in the competition and be as powerful as I could be after the heist to take him down. Asher was now my biggest enemy.

No wonder, I didn't like him at first sight. It was a gut feeling. This madman was evil.

Now I saw why people really feared him. It wasn't because he was a high-rank mafia, but because he was as brutal as a beast. All Mafia had a few beastly attributes in them, but they mainly targeted the enemies, I was certain Asher was the type to kill people he called friends and he owed no one loyalty.

I couldn't imagine my father and mother at the mercy of this animal called Asher. He must have raped my mother, with Zayn and maybe Pablo. They must have all fucked her so terribly that she gave up the ghost. 

That stupid asshole, with my mother…

My phone rang and Jessie was the caller. I wiped my tears as I picked up her call.

"It's past one week and you wouldn't even pick up my calls or reply to my texts!" She shouted.

"I'm sorry," I said, soft and short.

"Anyway…" she sounded excited. "I wanted to tell you that I dropped your letter to that man a week ago and he had booked an appointment with you too. You're going to meet him again when you get back"

I nodded. "Okay. Thank you." I ended the call. This wasn't the right time to think about a hot nightstand that I wanted to meet again when I left this place.
