POV: Richard Dark
"Ok man I'll see ...." Before Gabe could even finish his sentence there was a loud crashing sound coming from the other end of the line before the line went dead.
I pulled my phone from my ear to see and indeed the line was dead. I started to panic, this had to have been a car accident.
"F*ck F*ck F*ck." I cursed.
I started calling Gabe again and again, but to no avail. It kept saying the number was out of coverage zone.
I then called Felix Clarence, my right hand man. He picked up the call on the first ring as always.
"Pakhan?" He answered.
"What can I do for you today?" He said.
"I want you to call our men in Montreal and tell them to drive through Champlain-St. Bernard de Lacolle Border Crossing to New York. I believe there should be a car crash there. Bring an ambulance or choper if needed with you and send the people in the car crash to the nearest hospital if they are alive, I will come and meet you in Montreal." I said while putting my coat on and walking out of my office.
"Yes sir." He said, as I ended the call.
I entered my private elevator down to my private parking space to my waiting driver in a black SUV.
When I got in the backseat he asked.
"Where to sir?"
"My private airport." I said without even looking from my phone. He nodded and started driving.
I called my daughter Bella to tell her to behave, as I would be out of town for a few days, as she was with her Grandparents.
My name is Richard Dark I am 30 years old. I am a Russian Mafia Pakhan (translation: Boss).
I don't only lead the Russian mafia but also the Canadien, and Asian, Mafia. They all answer to me as I have killed their bosses and heirs. I have yet to conquer America seeing as they have not done anything to me.
The American mafia's name is the Hill's, they are quit strong and wealthy but not as powerful as me.
I became the Russian mafia boss at the young age of 16, when my father passed away, or more like was killed by the ones that I now have under my control.
I met Gabriel when he was 4 and I was 15. He was more like a little brother to me than a friend I cared for him deeply even though we only knew each other for a year but we hit it off.
I had to leave the next year though when my father was killed, I had promised to always keep in touch and I did. I was at his parents funeral, at a few of his birthdays, and at his graduation.
He was there when Isabella my wife whom I met when I was 17 and she was 16, gave birth to Bella , and my son Ronamis.
Since I left for Canada he had been telling me about Rose his now girlfriend, she sounded like a good person from what he said but I was still skeptical about her, I don't trust easily because of the life I live. But he seemed to love her so I let him be.
When I arrived to my private airport, I was greeted by the crew members. They all looked like they were going to shit themselves. I smirked at there fear, as I enjoyed it.
My name was a name to be feared, as I was a ruthless less man to my enemies. As I boarded the plain I received a call from Felix.
"What?" I answered, worry and anger evident in my voice, but only to those who really know me.
"We found a car crash just a few miles from New York."
"Ok, I'm on my way to Montreal right now,... keep me updated."
"Yes, Pakhan." He said as I ended the call. We then took off.
During the flight I thought about my wife who was in the hospital bed sick with lung and brain cancer.
The doctors found out about it just a few years after Ronamis was born. The doctors had told us that it was treatable as it was only in it's early stages but here we are 9 years later and now she is a medical induced comma.
I was a great father to Bella but I was not a great one to Ron ( short for Ronamis). I was angry and sad about my wife's sickness that I forgot about him or took my anger out on him and never really paid attention to him. He is practically raised by the maids.
I was so unstable I could not take care of him. I even sent him to Asia for training to become the next hier to my mafia. I was supposed to do it one way or another, but not at such a young age.
I was deep in thought but was snapped out by the air hostess telling me that we had arrived.
When I got off the plane I was met with another one of my drivers in an SUV.
Without even greeting him, I said.
"St. Mary's Hospital." As it was the closest hospital from the border. He nodded and we started driving.
When I got to the hospital, Felix was already there. He walked towards me, and I asked.
"Where are they?"
"They?" Felix asked with confusion.
"Yes, they, it is supposed to be two of them, a woman and a man." I said confused. Felix started to panic.
" Pakhan, there was only a man in the car no one else." He said.
"What, but there is supposed to be a girl in the car as well."
"No, Pakhan, there was no one else. And sir from what I saw that was not just a simple car accident, it was planned." Felix said.
"Planned, makes sense. It could explain why she was not in the car." I thought out loud.
"Where is the man then?" I asked.
"He is currently in surgery sir, the EMTs said that his steering wheel airbag malfunctioned, which caused a severe concussion." He said.
I sighed and sat down to wait for the surgery to be over.
As I was waiting, I kept thinking about why Rose was not in the car when my men got there. She probably left him there to die. I thought to myself.
She was probably using him to help her run away from her family.
I was snapped out of my thoughts when the doctor came out of the operating room. I stood up as he started walking towards Felix and I.
"Are you Gabriel Coles family?" He asked looking at me.
"No, I am his emergency contact, he has no other family members." I said.
"Ok follow me then, Mr. ....?" Je asked.
"Dark." I said. When he heard my name his eyes bulged out as he visibly stiffened.
He led Felix and I to his office as he motioned for us to sit in front of his desk. As we were seated he started speaking.
"My name is Doctor Philip, your friend had sever brain damage, and a concussion because of his airbag malfunctioning. He also broke his legs and neck from the whiplash." He said with sympathy evident in his voice.
"Will he ever be able to recover fully?" I asked
"That Mr. Dark, only time will tell, we don't even know if he is going to wake up from the amount of brain damage he had." He said.
I sighed.
"When can I move him?" I asked after a long pause.
"Maybe in a few days if his condition is stable." I nodded and asked again.
"Can I see him now?"
"Yes, I will call a nurse to lead you to his room." He said with a sympathetic smile. I nodded and got up as he called for a nurse.
The nurse led us to his room, more like suite. As I stepped inside I saw him laying in the bed with machines connected to him, the sight just brought a fresh wave of memories.
It reminded me of my wife and now him. I sighed as I sat on the chair that was next to the bed.
I told Felix to book me a hotel for as long as it takes until I am allowed to move him. I got one of my men to get me my computer so I could work while waiting.
I sat there thinking about how Rose could do this to him, leave him to die in the middle of the road.
POV: Rose Lancaster
I woke up again from pain all over my body, I felt like I had been ran over by a huge truck.... Truck.
I snapped my eyes open as a sat up like something burned my back ignoring the pain that ran through my body.
Gabriel, where is Gabriel, I thought to my self. I started sobbing as I remembered the events that happened before this.
I tried getting off the hospital bed, but my legs felt heavy. I pushed the blankets off the reveal a cast on one of my legs. I couldn't even turn my head completely, because I had a neck brace on. I tried removing the Iv in my arm, but before I could do that the door to my hospital room was opened by a nurse.
When she saw that I was awake she smiled and said.
"Good evening Miss Lancaster, how are you feeling?" My tears had now stopped flowing I was just sniffling.
"I am in pain." I said cringing at my own voice. I then saw some water on the night stand next to my bed. I tried reaching it but I was in so much pain so I stopped and sighed.
The nurse saw this and she rushed over to help me out. After drinking the water she said.
"I will go get the doctor." I nodded as she left the room.
A few minutes later the doctor came in followed by my parents and I started to panic a bit. The doctor checked me and prescribed a few medication for the pain and then he left leaving my parents and I alone.
Before I could even say anything, I was met with a slap from my mother as she walked out of the room.
My Dad then looked at me with disgust and said.
"What the f*ck were you thinking, .....hm?" He asked, but I was not even paying attention, as I was focused on the fact that my mom just slapped me.
"What are you mute now?" He said looking at me.
"You are such and ungrateful child, we have taken care of you since a you were born. We ask one thing from you, one thing and you can't even do it. You're such and ungrateful brat." He said yelling
The things he said hurt me but I was never one to speak up or defend myself. The only thing I could find myself saying was.
"Is Gabriel ok?" I asked as a tear ran down my cheek.
My father looked at me as his brows furrowed even more. But then he gave me an evil smirk.
"He's dead." He said with a smirk.
As I heard the words come from his mouth, I felt the world crash down on me. I started hyperventilating. I couldn't get any air into my lungs. The monitor that I was hooked up on started beeping as I fainted again.
