But then I saw the date.

It has been more than a decade ago. Ten million dollars was owed to…

I looked up at him and down at the documents. Surely, I knew his name was Mancini, but the names I saw there weren't his at all.

“Father? What's going on?” I asked, panic seeping into my voice.

My father looked a little more than disturbed. He was worried. The creases at his forehead deepened greatly. His eyes darkened as his mood soured even more.

I like smart women” he turned to Leo and whispered a few words to him.With him distracted, I nudged my father. He still seemed disillusioned, unwilling to talk or look in my direction.I bent low and whispered into his ears.“Please Father, we'll discuss later but for now, let's get this over with.

I asked hopefully"No I haven't" he replied looking weary, even I was tired, searching files upon files and still having nothing."Boss, are you sure they kept it here?" Leo asked.I looked at him hesitantly "This is the room they kept all the important documents" I replied to him."What about their room?" He asked, I thought ab

Gradually the pressure lessened until I felt nothing.The pain that had blazed my abdomen not too long ago was gone. I didn't feel my blood pooling around me. Or my skin being torn, and my flesh pierced with bullet holes.I simply felt nothing. If anything, I felt even more at ease.“PLEASE BUCKLE YOUR SEATBELTS”.I heard from an overhead speaker.
