SHATTERED -MY-DARK-PAST TEASER/ PROLOGUE.
This wasn't the fate that was meant for me, but I was made to believe it was. It wasn't the path I choose either. I guess luck wasn't on my side, it threw me away like that of an abandoned puppy who has nowhere to go.It wasn't my fault as I was left with no other choice, they took what I cherished and nurtured the most from me and made me this way. Some might say I'm stupid or I made myself this way, or rather call me a shameless woman left without a single pride. The day I had chosen this path, I never wanted to turn back because I couldn't understand why everything started at first. I never wanted to return and turn a new leaf and I knew I would end up becoming worse, but I didn't prepare for death. Maybe this was my fate and I chose to completely listen to the devil and request his advice on daily occurrences.My dear mother I lost to the cold hands of death, and later my dearest brother joined. I was left with only my father who believed that training a female child was something
SHATTERED -MY-DARK-PAST Chapter 01. " Goodbye, mummy I "
Morris and I waited at home while mom was being taken to the hospital by the gardener and our driver. A while ago, she had been okay and neither Morris nor I could tell if anything was actually wrong with her. Part of my mother's strength came from a deep faith in God and the love she had for me and Morris, and perhaps just as much from her innate ability to inspire Morris and me to know she meant every word she said.Our growing up with a father was a hectic one, but unlike Morris, I loved dad so much and gave him most of my attention whenever he was at home.Morris wanted to follow behind, but I stopped him from taking another step further. I couldn't bear to be at home all by myself as it was too scary for a young child like me. Morris shoved my hands away from his, but I held them back, this time more tightly, and wasn't willing to let go." If you're going, then take me along," I said to Morris my tiny voice mixed with authority even though I knew he wasn't going to listen to me.
SHATTERED -MY-DARK-PAST Chapter 02. " Goodbye Mommy II "
The next morning was a Sunday. I only woke up to find myself on my bed covered properly and a tray of bread with fried eggs laid on the small table at the center of my room. You would say dad loves me so much and gave my room the best design. I never got to lack anything and I had a heap of toys in a store room still in my room. Everything I ever wanted even those I didn't need was provided and I didn't see any reason why I should feel sad or unsatisfied. I yawned stretching both my hands and God I had completely forgotten about mom for just a second when I woke up. I badly wanted to see dad again, but I was sure he would be out of the house by now and it pained me most that I didn't get to see his face last night. My door opened and Mrs. Roseline walked in carrying a small jug of water along with her. " Good morning Mrs. Roseline" I greeted and sat up straight to eat my meal. Even though I was born in a rich home, Morris and I were never spoilt. We had so much respect for elders
SHATTERED -MY-DARK-PAST Chapter 03 " Goodbye, Mommy III "
A nine years old girl was supposed to know everything right? But I don't think so. One would say I was so stupid for leaving out my mom in my life, especially for letting her take just a little place in my heart, unlike my dad who took a massive part. When people hear/ read my story, I might be marked the foolish kid and Morris the good kid, but I was nothing like that. I loved my mom so much, no I did love all of my family but I only gave dad exceptional love and I was sure he loved me back even more than the much love I had for him.Dad and I were what you would call inseparable and we couldn't do without each other but even as much as dad loved me, I wanted him to love Morris just the same." Where is my momma?" I asked Mrs. Roseline, my eyes teary as I looked at Morris and my dad. I wanted to go meet dad and ask him too, but for the first time, I was scared of him. His eyes were terrifying and so red that I couldn't go and when I heard Morris say he killed my Mom, I wanted to ful
SHATTERED -MY-DARK-PAST Chapter 04
Alexa POV.I haven’t seen so many people at our house before, it felt so surreal. They were all dressed in black suits and came back home with us in their various cars. When we got home, Mrs. Roseline had already made some food and the aroma made my stomach growl. I went straight to the kitchen, Mrs. Roseline understood because she was already putting some snacks on a plate for me. “Thank you Mrs. Roseline,” I said as she handed it to me.I walked out of the kitchen and I put a big muffin in my mouth and it tasted so delicious. As I was about to take the last turn out of the hallway, I heard some ladies whispering, they were talking about how my mom abandoned her children at such a young age. But I didn’t want to believe their lies, mom would never abandon Morris and I.The plate on my hand fell because I lost my appetite. I immediately ran in search of my dad, to ask him about what those people were saying, but both my dad and Morris were nowhere to be found. I headed to my dad’s ho
SHATTERED -MY-DARK-PAST Chapter 05
Alexa POV.This last week has been painful. After I read that note from Morris, I ran to his room to find him, but I noticed some of his things were missing. I remember running down to the kitchen to look for Mrs. Roseline, and asking her if she saw Morris leave, but she only stared at me confused.I showed her the note he left me and after she read it, we both started crying and hugged each other. She tried giving me food that day but I just couldn’t eat. It was not easy to wrap my head around what was happening, how I thought Morris was already warming up to me but he ended up abandoning me just like mum. I remember Mrs. Roseline calling my dad and telling him about what was happening, but he just shunned her and told her he was busy and would be back sometime this week. He hasn’t been back since the day I heard him on the phone in his home office. I had to go to school last week, hoping to wake up from this nightmare but anytime I come back home I always come back to an empty hous
SHATTERED -MY-DARK-PAST Chapter 06
Alexa POV.I remember the day I made my first friend. I was looking up the closest investigator nearby when I noticed someone walk up to my table in the library and take a seat opposite me.“Hi,” she said, looking me in the eyes. “Hello,” I replied dumbfounded. No one has ever spoken to me before except probably when they need me to excuse them or hand something over to them. I examine her. She has brown eyes, her nose is so perfect and her cheekbones, ohh they look so well curved. Her blonde hair is laying perfectly on her shoulder and she is putting on a black dress with a very bright shade of red lipstick.“I am Thelma.”“I a-am Alexa,” I responded breathlessly. My brain cells are screaming. I decided to calm down and not get ahead of myself.“Wanna hang out, there’s a frat party tonight?”“Hmmm, y-yess, n-noo, I have to get home today after school,” I reply painfully. The thought of my father finding out that I didn’t return home is scary. The new driver apparently has to report

Although it's all rosy now, I still have to look over my shoulders. I was studying abroad when I heard about my father's death in an explosion. His best friend, Don Caro of the Rossi Cartel was also killed which led to the death of both cartel’s Don.After my return, the other Dons tried to take over my father’s position as the Capo Dei Capi, The godfather, the boss of all bosses. That time was messy because there was blood on the streets. I hunted down every Don that could have a hand in my father's death or any Don who wanted to take his place and ended them. I stop the treadmill, breathless, and head down to the shower ready to start another day.By the time I was done, there was a mouthwatering aroma coming from the kitchen. I headed straight down and followed my nose to the kitchen. I al
