Chapter 1 - CHAPTER ONE:ROSA

Why are you crying?what's all the tears for!!huh?

Antonio yelled at Rosa pulling her long dark hair backwards forcefully,she twitched in pain,her lower abdomen had just been punched by a 30 year old man she felt sick,like she was going to trow up the pain was hard to bear,she fell to her knees holding her stomach like it was going to reduce the pain while tears slowly rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably.

Antonio sat watching rosa and his guard traven in a hand  to hand fight,he looked very unhappy with the wrestling and asked them to stop calling traven over to him,  he grabbed his collar pulling him down to his mouth he whispered, traven quit holding back or I'll be the one hitting you next,yes sir travel replied lowly.walking back to the ground he hit Rosa hardly on her stomach making her wail in pain as tears escaped from her eyes

Antonio got up and walked to her pulling her hair harshly he yelled to her face what's wrong rosa can't bear the pain? already acting weak in one blow huh?

He let her hair go and said you are nothing but weak all women are nothing but weak,Antonio walked back to his seat pouring himself a cup of whisky. rosa Got up on her feet with much effort facing Antonio she said to him father I will show you that this woman isn't weak,marching towards traven she threw her small frame into his forehead traven immediately falling to the ground Rosa sat on him punching is face uncontrollably till she heard Antonio's voice if you keep going he'll die Rosa, only then did she stop.

traven was bleeding a lot his face was barely recognized Rosa stared at her hand dripping in blood she wasn't sure if it was all traven's blood or both hers but she could barely feel her hands.

She wasn't sure how to feel after almost dismantling someone's face,she looked at Antonio and he looked very satisfied and so did she,she thought to herself if fathers satisfied then so sould I,cecilio my son! Antonio called out to his son who was sitting there the whole time watching in keen interest,I fear that rosa might have more guts than you,you've got to up you game son today rosa just got one point ahead of you Antonio said giving a smothered laugh, before I forget happy eighteenth birthday son that show was your birthday present Antonio added walking away,cecilio slowly walked up to Rosa and held her bloody palm,if you can't take it you can leave now it's not too late Rosa, cecilio said softly,cecilio staying here and roaming the streets which would you pick? Rosa asked him,honestly if I had the chance I'd pick the streets at least I wouldn't have to harm anyone to make a grumpy old man happy Cecilio replied

Maybe father was right I do have more guts than you Rosa said irritated.freeing her hands she walked away from him,I really am worried about you cecilio said but rosa pretending not to hear kept walking.

Cecilio was Antonio's only child his mother had passed when he was just three,Antonio was a well known drug dealer who had lots of connections and lots of enemies on the contrary he also did all sort of things like kidnapping,assassinating,and stealing.

A year ago Antonio had picked a sixteen year old girl who was cold and hungry in the dumpster at first he wanted to leave her but his son begged him to take her saying if they did leave her she could die of a cold let her stay for one night Antonio had taken her in but changed his mind on letting her stay for a night instead he groomed her to be one of his own,rosa had a very innocent face,she had hazel brown eyes and long dark hair she was a very beautiful young girl but she didn't have a family Antonio taking her in meant the world to her and she did do anything to make him happy.

Rosa i need to talk to you Antonio called .rosa followed him to the rooftop,it was very windy that night Antonio stood at the edge of the roof a little push and he did fall the wind blew harshly against his dirty blonde hair he stood for a while in silence before he began to speak

Rosa that night I picked you up and showered you and feed you and gave you a place to sleep how did you feel about it?Antonio asked

I felt solely grateful sir,if not for you i did be dead by now,words cannot describe how grateful I am sir,i owe you my life Rosa said slightly bowing

A little smirk appeared on Antonio's face I have always thought women were weak but for the past year you have changed my perspective and you should be proud of that Antonio said slowly walking towards her. I am sir very proud of my achievements rosa said bowing lower than before.

Rosa I want you to be my successor Antonio said bluntly.but you have a son rosa said slightly puzzled

If i should go to paradise today Cecilio would leave my business to be eaten by termites he's my son and I know him too well,that's why I need you rosa to put him on the right track he seems to listen to you more than anyone I need you to make sure he stays in the business do you understand?Antonio asked in a serious tone.rosa wasn't sure how she was supposed to make cecilio stay if he decided to leave but she answered anyway yes sir I won't let you down.good girl Antonio said patting her head,and one more thing gets him a girl I'm worried about him i lost my virginity at 15 and he's not even talking to any girl at 18 that's a shame right? Antonio said In a relaxed tone

Will do sir I'll make sure that everything you want will be done in this lifetime rosa answered confidently that's my girl Antonio said very satisfied with her answer.
