Mend My Broken Heart 92 His Struggles 2

The Lincoln Empire is not just an ordinary business. It was also the gateway to the underworld. Where he was thrown and left by his so-called family except for his own mother.

***

When he was still in his high school years, he stumbled upon the great secret that his father held. He came home that afternoon earlier than his usual time and he heard voices from their living room. One was he recognized as it was his father's voice. He was a proud Lincoln and whenever he heard some bad news about his family, he would not let it pa.s.s even he would go home with cuts and bruises. He would not let them escape and beat them up to the pulp but he did not explained his thoughts and his struggles to his family even once. To him that time, he could not let his family know that they are the favorite topic of the commoners.

That day he learned how cruel his father could become behind his mother's back and that time also was the beginning of his revelry.

Leo learned the bitter truth that his family was one of the three pillars of the underworld. Even if he had questions on his young mind, he dared not to voice them out afraid that he will be silenced by his own father like he did with his own family.

When he asked about his grandparents or even his uncles and aunties, his father was enraged. He told him not to ask stupid questions and not ever to ask questions like that again.

They were a family of murderers. Their own kin was murdered by his father for his wealth and power. This made him hate his father and sickly brother even more.

To the young Leo back then, being in the underworld means a lot and much of it is shady and he couldn't take it. He could not stomach such news that those bad guys and his family is like one. He could not take it but in the long run, he thought that maybe he could do outrageous things. Since his family was involved in the underground, he could do things and get away from it without any scratch.

He started going with gangs and eventually, he colluded with an enemy mafia organization.

When he was shot by Lyndon, he could not forget the pain and his will to survive and live. He felt like he was in the brink of death but death would not be the answer. He could feel the surrounding got blur and all faded into darkness and only helplessness was left.

He could feel and saw the blood that's been trickling down on his s.h.i.+rt.

He gasped for air to survive yet he was short of it.

The day that he has been shot is the day he was reborn in a new ident.i.ty, and in a new face. He got his face altered by the modern technology and it made him contented because he did not share that splitting image of his two-faced brother.

He loathed him pa.s.sionately and he could only point a gun towards him to appease his anger.

***

Since he was rejected by his brother's company, why not visit it personally? He called his a.s.sistant to book a flight to country A.

It's time to pay his little brother a visit.

It's been a long time since he felt excitement and he could not wait to see his little brother's distorted face.

Well, if he could still recognize him under this kind of face. If he could, he would bow down his head and praise him until it reaches the heavens.

He smirked as he thought of Lyndon's and Misha's face. He could not wait any more moment to wreck havoc to their newly built family.

"Just wait a little more brother, we are going to reunite soon and the sooner we reunite, the better for my plans." he laughed after saying this.

His crispy laugh echoed down in his small office and it reached his a.s.sistant's desk.

He looked at the closed door with a horror in his face. Ever since he started working at him, never once he heard his boss laugh like that. He could only feel scared and chills run down at his spine causing his hair stand.

He just resumed his duties and booked a flight to country A the next week. They had several projects to work on before they could leave the company in ease and proceed at the expansion and partners.h.i.+p with L&L Empire.
