Liam opened his eyes and saw his wife by his side sleeping peacefully. He recall what happened before he lost himself

" Alexandro Liam Frankio I love you. I love you so much.... " he hold his head trying so hard to forget everything but failed. Angela woke up to his scream.

" Xandro!! Xandro!!!... are you okay?" she touch him but he remove his hands angrily

" Don't touch me!!! have hurt you Angela.." Liam said as he gently squeeze her cheeks. Angela hold his hands on her cheeks and cry for him

" I can never imagine your pain Xandro. What happened to you?" She said staring at him

" My Dad destroyed me angel..." he began

23 YEARS AGO

Little Liam crying loud on his bed as he wrap himself with his hands. His mother looked at him with tears in her eyes.

" Mom, I can't do it. I swear am innocent pls explain to Dad. I can't Mom.." He cried so loud

" I know son but there's nothing we can do. he's your father and want the best for you"

" The best my foot mom.. dad practically locked me up in his warehouse for one week, his secret room where he murder people and now he want me to kill someone for my own benefits?

" I just can't Mom.. not this time"

" Alex you know the consequences right? he will destroy you.."

" Mom, have endured so much. I live most of my life and sleep mostly inside that dark warehouse room with nobody there to rescue me not even you Mom. you let dad use me anyhow because I fail to make him proud? I can't be like him Mom

" Nobody is saying you should be like your father son but do what he ask you to do.."

" Mom, am four years old and dad wants me to join his gang and be his heir. he wants to train me how to use a gun to kill people. I can't kill someone Mom, they are humans like myself and you too. would you love it if you are slaughtered like an animal? he should be more considerate and not heartless.." He was cut off by his father's voice

" So you believe I'm heartless?" He asked gritting his teeth in anger, Liam ran behind his mother to hide himself from his father.

" Don pls leave him" his mother begged but Don slapped her with the back of his hand. He pushed him away and drag the child towards his secret room

" I don't want to stay here dad. dad please I don't want to stay here. I'm scared of dark.. pls dad .. pls.. leave .. me.. leave... me .. da...d.... leave... me... I don... t want... to stay her..... e... there...is ghost ..mm there" Little Liam screamed loud for help but his father continue to drag him and push him roughly inside the room and lock him up.

" You will die there until you listen to me.. you useless child.." He hissed and lock the door to the room.

Liam looked around and saw bones beside him. He screamed so loud but no one could help or save him there. he began to hear voice of people pleading for his help.

" I can't.. help .. you.. I.. am.. also trap in this room.. pls stop talking... don't run me mad... please " He pleaded as more tears kept coming out without any stop.

A week later, Liam saw a little light and looked towards the direction and saw his father standing with the keys. His father dragged him out to his room.

" have you learnt your lesson now? will you go with me? He asked him angrily as Liam wept more and nod his head crying.

" Good, get ready now. we are going for an operation so get dress quick and eat something, I will tell your nanny to get you something to eat." He said and leave the room.

A knock scared Liam as he jump to hide himself, A lady entered the room looked around to search for her master

" Master!! master!!!... Come out now! don't be scared Alex, I'm here" She said calmly as Liam came out gently out his hidden space

" Nanny? What are you doing here?" He asked looked around the room for his father

" Your father wants me to give you your food" She said as she stretch her hands carrying tray filled with food

" But I don't want to eat Nanny" He said looking at her weird

" Why honey? you haven't eating anything since last week Alex." She said as she recall the incident and wept slowly

"But I'm not hungry, I can't eat anything" He said and ran out leaving his nanny in the room crying alone. Liam hate it when people cry for him, he only want them to be happy. He hide himself behind a corner near the kitchen and wept. He saw a man's shoe in from of him as he quickly look up to see the person and saw his father looking at him angrily. He slapped him twice

" Get up!!!!!.." He screamed at him as Liam quickly stood up in fear.

" You are too weak. you're not my son.. you are a disgrace.. You can't be love.. You are disgusting and useless. Can this child even make it at all?.. you brought nothing but disgrace to this noble family. You are crying because your nanny is crying for you? Are you stupid or you've completely lost your mind? A common Maid?" He screamed at his son

" No Dad, She's not a common Maid. she is a human being just like you dad. I don't want to see her hurt or in pain Dad cuz I'm human and I have feeling and conscience unlike you"

" Really? I have no conscience? good" He said and dragged him to his room. Liam saw his nanny crying on his bed unaware of their presence. Don went towards her and slap her on her cheeks. He choke her neck and kick her stomach twice and in an attempt to hurt her the third time, Liam came between and get kicked by father on her stomach. His father got even more angry and took out his gun and shot the nanny right in front of the little boy.

Liam stared wide & mouth drops as he watch blood coming out of her stomach, he ran quick towards her and hold her

" Please don't die on me!!!!.. please!!!! Nanny.... wake up!!! don't leave me !!!" He said as he carry her in his arms crying so bitterly. Don took him forcefully out of the room and dragged him to his wardrobe. He locked him there and keep the keys with him.

Liam screamed out until he lost his voice and kept quiet but just crying. he regret coming to the world.

" I wish I was never born in the world. I wish I never survive again. I just need peace.. Nanny pls forgive me for not fighting for you." He said gently and wept recalling the incident.

Few Minutes later, his mother opened the wardrobe with his father standing beside her.

" Alex you killed your nanny..." Don said gritting his teeth

" No, I didn't kill her. you killed her" He said with a low voice and tried voice

" No son, you killed her. if you had listened to me and cooperated then she would still be alive now but no you are too stubborn. you will continue to hurt everyone who loves you. No one can love you cuz you know what? If they do, I will kill them including your mother here. so better cooperate " He said angrily and leave, leaving his mother with him.

" Mom.. you don't love me too?" He asked staring at his mother who looked at him weird

" And why would I love you? Did you anything that makes me and your father proud. you deserve everything that happens to you. you are disgusting and no one can ever love you. Yes they might deceive you with love but you can never be love. I regret giving birth to you, you are despicable" she hissed at him and left.
