" I just have one question, Why?" Asked a rough voice towards the person sitting on the wooden his hands tied to it while a dim light over his head lightening the dark room he is kept in.

" And do you think I will answer you? DAMN YOU!" the guy replied with anger his brown eyes burning with hatred towards the person talking to him.

" EVEN IF YOU TORTURED ME YOU WON'T GET ANY USEFUL SHIT!" he added huffing heavily his fists clenched turning white as sweats fall from his forehead down to his cheekbones.

A deep hummed was replied to the guy's outburst and suddenly a small rectangular light flashed showing a video.

The guy's eyes widened in horror as he unclenches his fists and his heart beating unsteady seeing the video.

" A wise person once said, If you have weakness you lose everything" the man in the dark finally reveled to light and glared intensely to the guy tied on chair.

The guy's eyes that was once filled with hatred instantly was filled with horror and his dry lips began to quiver.

" N-no s-stop... w-wh- how .. DONT TOUCH THEM!! PLEASE!!!" the guy began to beg as soon as he saw the video of his wife and his son on the phone that is playing.

" Tell me" the man demanded and the guy told everything he knows and whatever the man asked.

" M-my family-...." he asked with the hope to at least let them be alive and leave them alone because they had nothing to do with what he has done or doing.

" You should've hid them better" the man said standing infront only his body being shown by the light .

His hands were in his pockets , his black shirt hugging his torso not too tight nor too lose as he bends at the level of the guy's ear

" Piece of advice: Never have a weakness that's a disadvantage to you. "

The man walked away with the shout of the guy's voice echoing at the background while the sound of bullets were also heard.

" Damn cos (cousin) I thought you were going to spare him if he tells us everything" a 5'9" tall guy in black leather jacket came jogging catching up the man's steps walking towards the exit of the door.

" Andrew, clean the shit instead of talking about it" the man stated but it was heard more like a command than saying as he opened the door of his black Mercedes Benz and sat at the back seat.

Andrew sighed helplessly as he looked at his cousin getting in the car and soon disappearing from his sight.

" Weakness huh..... I wonder if you will have one.... Leo".

To easily want to destroy someone, you have to find it's weakness first.

By taking advantage of it can you only have them wrapped around your fingers.

That's what Leonardo Chris Henz believe, the well-known ruthless dangerous Mafia.

He is famous for being ruthless and not show any mercy specially the ones that are disloyal to him, because the thing he hates the most is Disloyalty and Lies.

There are many cases that's against him but the police force were not strong enough to arrest nor have enough evidence against him.

It is said that he shows no expression whatsoever and his eyes has always been cold and emotionless.

If gaze could kill, almost everyone looking at him eye to eye might've been killed.

" Sir are we going to the warehouse?" the driver asked professionally but also not daring to look from the car mirror as he waits for his boss's reply.

Leonardo looked out through the window as the car stops at red light.

His chocolate brown eyes looking at the peaceful and busy people and vehicles living perfectly normal. There was envy in his eyes..... envy? why?.....

His gaze fall on the clowder of cats in different colors and breed, some were stretching other were yawning and some were sleeping on top of each other in an ally of filled with garbage and boxes of useless things .

She didn't came today.

Leo thought as he always sees a girl in scarf feeding and playing with the street cats. At first he thought she was simply just doing it to pass her time but he came to see her everyday in the same time with the street cats that it became a sight for him to watch whenever he passes by that road.

But of course it was always for a short time because he thinks its just a waste of time to take care of such little things specially if it doesn't benefits you.

The world is greedy to be taken care of, everyone wants to do things that benefits themselves than to do it out of pure honest acts.

" Sir?"

" Go to the resident." he replied shortly receiving a nod from his driver " yes, sir" .

After a half an hour or so, Leonardo reached his estate and when I say estate its a literal mansion with a large garden and a huge automatic metal gate as the car entered the place.

As Leonardo got off the car, a man in his mid 50s with his white hair which seemed due to ageing, cleanly combed back, came sprinting out of the mansion while adjusted his rectangular specs as he stops on his steps.

" Master, what brings you back early?" asked the elder man politely with his one hand at his back while the other being held infront.

" The Meeting was changed last minute" He replied while walking in towards the mansion with the butler following him behind.

" LEO!" a high pitched voice called out as a lady came running down the stairs and jumps on Leo hugging him.

" I was bored but thank God you returned!" the lady said as she broke the hug and pouted looking at the man she just hugged.

" What are you doing here Suzy?" Leo asked nonchalantly with uninterested gaze.

Suzy is Leonard's childhood friend but Suzy loves him more than friend and Leo rejected her feelings.

Still, it did not stopped Suzy from loving him and was determined to make him fall for her.

" Forgive me sir, I was about to te-"

" Oh shut up Alex now what's done is done and besides you can't stop me from coming to visit you " Suzy interrupted while twirling her brown hair and looking at Leo sedcutively.

Its true what Suzy said because her father is one of the business partner of Leonard's underground business and he knows how much Mr. Gilberto loves his daughter.

There is one rule that Leonardo has always stick onto : Don't start a war unless the other party started it.

It's not that Leonardo can't fight, he just simply doesn't want to waste his resources and men for some pitiful and trivial thing.

" Please l-let me go" a pleading voice was slowly heard and two men, one Andrew and another guy with a bigger built and two inches taller than Andrew came in sight while dragging a girl and pushed her forcefully making her fall on the ground.

Leonardo looked at them with a raised eyebrow demanding for explanation.

" One of the debtor couldn't payback the money and gave her instead, I don't know what to do so I brought her here since I heard you are at the estate." said the taller guy beside Andrew looking down at the girl who was sobbing.

" It's rare because she is one with a scarf and I told Jack to ask you first before doing something to her" Andrew mentioned, his hands in his pockets .

" Are you a fucking newbie to this shit?" Leonardo asked annoyingly while glaring at the two men making the atmosphere tense not giving a shit to anyone.

" Fucking sell her at an auction or make her work as a prostitute , I just need the money back." Noor's eyes widened after hearing what Leonardo said.

Sell? Auction??? PROSTITUTE?! NO!! She can't do any of that! Noor can't do any of that! It's against her religion! It's haram[ Forbidden]!!

Noor tried her best to stand even though she could feel her knees are weak and hurt to stand because of the fall, but she did because she have to save herself!

" S-sir please , d-don't , I w-will return back all y-your money p-please " Noor begged in between her sobs , her round gray orbs filled with tears pleading to give her a chance with her hands claps together.

" I w-will do anything p-please, I w-will work a-as a slave for you , o-or you c-can take away my p-passport , a-anything but those, p-please " she added, trying to convince Leonardo, but of-course the infamous man never knows to give mercy to anyone, let it be the same gender or the opposite.

" ANDREW!" he shouted indicating to take her away and as Andrew grabs her arm pulling her, Noor tried to struggle away from his touch but to no avail it was an unsuccessful attempt.

" Wait!" Suzy stepped in and Noor looked at her with the thought she might help her or pity her.

" Leo~ Why don't we just keep her and make her work here as a maid?" she suggested but still was not convinced judging by his expression.

" I mean.... she is no threat and it's not like she has anyone to complain to or anyone that cares for her" she scoffed crossing her hands against her chest.

It's true what she said, but it still hurt Noor hearing it. It still painful and she is not strong enough yet to face such bitter truth.

" Ok.... she will work here " Leo announced and left .

Noor flopped on the floor because of her weak legs but she was thankful for not being sold or work as a prostitute.

If only Leonardo knows his this one decision will make everything odd.
