Chapter 103 The main villian
CALVIN

I came to realize quickly after I was born that life was never fair. 

If it was, I should not have been standing outside in the pouring rain when I was five in front of my father's gigantic mansion where he lived with his other family, unable to beg him for a few dollars to buy medicine for my ailing mother.

If it was, I should have never had to watch my mother prostitute her body day in and day out to men who wanted nothing more than to rape her and beat me up.

If it was, I was never supposed to lose my virginity to a man at the age of seven.

But life was never fair.

Or maybe it wasn't life. Maybe it was Mr Silvio and his perfect family that refused to acknowledge me as a child of the family because I came from their maid.

I cut Into the meat, taking another bite as I stared at him sweetly.

" So you want to know why I hate them so much don't you?" I asked.

Leon nodded, slow, but unwavering.

I liked him. He reminded me of myself when I was still a teenager fighting for my place in the world.

" Tell me, have you ever eaten rats?" I asked.

His face contorted and I chuckled, nodding as I dropped my fork.

" Of course you haven't. People like you have always been so sheltered since you were kids, menial food like what I grew up eating would be unbearable for your delicate stomach.

I developed a taste for human meat when I worked at the morgue and the only thing I could get handy were dead corpses. 

I would slow cook small chunks on an open fire to eat whenever I had nothing for days. It was bad at first but somehow, I loved it" 

His jaw dropped.

" You are a monster" 

I shurgged.

" Poverty does that to people....makes them monsters " 

" So...you are Mr Silvio's child?"

" Illegitimate. If you call him my father he will probably turn in his grave. I wanted to kill him myself but i guess you beat me to it."

" So all of this, it's to hurt Akira because she is the child of Mr Silvio?"

" Yes. She got to enjoy everything I couldn't have. She got to go to school, play with my father, have him walk her down the aisle, and attend her wedding. And I had to stand at the back of every ceremony and outing, burying my mother myself and watching her thrive.

I made all this wealth myself. But it does not change the fact that I will make sure I collect every single thing that should have been mine from Akira. Starting from her life" 

I hated that I sounded so vengeful. It made me wonder when I got this way.

Was it after my mother died? Or was it after I started trafficking drugs?

I could not tell, but I knew along the line that the hatred I had for the family grew and I could see myself splitting their heads open whenever they celebrated an achievement online.

And finally, I could.

" So what do you want me to do now? You saved me, now I'm a refugee and I'm sure the entire world is out looking for me".

" You will be working for me now. I thought to cut you a deal".

He adjusted himself uneasily on his seat.

" What kind of a deal?"

I smiled.

" The cell you were being transported to is only allowed for maximum criminals. And you are such a baby. I'm sure the prisoners will eat you for soup the minute you stepped in. I have a friend there in fact. So I decided to save you. In exchange for a little...something".

" What do you want?" 

" I want you to earn your freedom. You work for me, just like these men here do. But you are more intelligent, sophisticated, so I'm willing to make you my right hand man. And after three years, I will give you your freedom, all the money you can ever wish for, a new identity and you can head to a totally different country and live the rest of your life as if you retired early "

" That sounds too good to be true" he said.

I chuckled inwardly. This was why I liked him. He was too smart.
But I could not let him find out about my real plan.

" I'm a gracious man at heart. I know it's hard to believe I'm willing to give you all that but I am. I don't have a problem with you. And as long as you help me make Akira suffer, you will enjoy the rest of your life"

He seemed to contemplate some more and my hands fumbled with the gun on my waist.

If he said no, I was going to kill him right here and cook him for my next dinner.

" Yes. I accept"

My hands left the gun instantly and I flashed him a big smile.

" Again, you are a smart man. We will work out just fine. "

" So how would I move around without being spotted"

" The cars that are marked by my company are never stopped by the police, no matter what. So you can be in the car and they will never know. Just avoid crowdy places alone. And even if they catch you, I will bring you out. It's not a big deal for me"

He finally smiled, thinking he hit the jackpot. 

" Thank you. I will do anything you ask of me"

I hummed.

"I do have your first mission ready for you. And it's to kidnap Akira. You can do that right?"
