Chapter 14: Charity (A)

John's pov

It wasn't anything new for dad to be that cold hearted. In fact, besides his associates, he only ever approves of a loan when he knows the borrower can't pay back, then he has to take something worth more than what was borrowed; something he only had to invest in a little and it brings in ten times more money that was lost.

We're the mafia, shady business like that is what we do.

I was left to my thoughts in my office, afterall, the only important work that needed my attention was in dad's private room and I wanted to be far away from him at that moment.

Sometimes I wonder, dad is business smart and has made a lot of money over the years; why didn't he just abandon the illegal part of the business and have us live remotely peaceful lives?

So what if Mr. Berman's business was crumbling, at least he didn't have to watch his back every second or sleep with a gun under his pillow. His kids gets to live normal lives and marry whoever they want and not live a life of a liar.

Yeah
