Cindy's pov "Okay. So, you're going home now?""Not really. I was just going to hang around until practice is over, but now you're here, I don't mind watching."I found myself blushing and quickly averted my eyes."Also, you told me we'd get to talk later on Sunday but you disappeared on me.""That's... That's right. I did plan to wait, but my dad was in a hurry, so I had to leave.""Maybe we'd get to talk after practice? I could give you a ride home too."Before I could reply, I saw Alice from the corner of my eye, watching us and I panicked. "I'm sorry, I have to go now." I said hurriedly and sidestepped past him to meet the other choir members.Rather than leaving, Sean came back and sat down on the front pew, watching me. I did my best to keep my eyes on anything but him.Since I was already late, I didn't get to exchange pleasantries with Alice, we only made eye contact and she smiled at me, I returned her smile.Practice took nearly two hours but we sounded great and was ready

John's povIt 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
