Mafia's Dawn by Petillant Alba (free e novels .TXT) 📖

She was sitting on the couch with a saddened heart. She wanted Abaan to come back soon as she was regretting after didn't receiving his call. But she composed herself realizing it was his fault. She was drowned in her thoughts while Amna was doing her homework beside her. 

"Fatima. We have to go somewhere?" She stood up as Eliff came and said that to. 

"Okay let's go then." Fatima said as Eliff told her that Hamza called Fatima in the farmhouse. He wanted to talk something about Abaan. Fatima couldn't think anything else as they both hurried towards the farmhouse while Amna was home. 

"Is Abaan alright?" Fatima asked as Eliff could see anxiousness on her face. She soothed her as they reached the farmhouse. Fatima was regretting as she didn't call Abaan but she had talked to Daniel in the morning.

"Where is he?" Fatima asked as Hamza wasn't there.

" He won't come." Fatima turned around as Eliff said to her.

"What do you mean?" Fatima turned around to see Eliff who had a smirk on her face.

°°°

"Call her." Abaan said to Daniel as he was standing while pointing the nozzle of the gun towards Junaid. 

"Yes yes I can give you time for that." Junaid laughed evily as Daniel dialed Fatima's number.

"Hello." Abaan sighed as he heard Eliff's voice.

"Eliff give phone to Fatima..." He was saying when Junaid started laughing so was Eliff as he could heard her laugh. First, they couldn't understand but then it dawned on them.

"Traitor." Abaan whispered to himself as he never thought Eliff could be the traitor. She was his nanny since his birth. When he came back from abroad Eliff came to them herself as she said she wanted to take care of them. They were like her own children but she came so that she could leak his details to Junaid.

"Oh son! This world is dark. You can't expect loyalty from everyone here." Junaid smiled evily as he saw hurt expressions on Abaan's face.

"If anything happened to her I won't have fucking mercy on you." Abaan roared.

" Ok then let's make a deal. Give me those papers of your company and I would give you your wife." Junaid said as they both got stern. That company was everything to him. If he did that he would get bank corrupt and his house everything would be gone. But he get let them hurt Fatima.

"Where is she? Give her the damn phone." Abaan grabbed the phone from Daniel's hand as he roared. 

"Fine." Eliff said followed by the voice of Fatima.

"A-abaan." Fatima's hoarse voice reached his ear as he could sense she was crying.

"Are you alright? Did she hurt you?" Abaan said as his blood was boiling in anger.

"I didn't do anything just slap her and she is fragile that it started bleeding from her lower lip. I have no other option she was screaming." Eliff said.

" You would fucking beg me for your death. I will kill you with my own bare hands." Abaan roared as he wanted to kill everyone as they made her bleed.

"A-abaan." Fatima's voice again reached his ear.

"Janum I would safe you okay. Don't worry." Abaan said reassuring her.

" No you don't have to give them the files. Don't ruin your years of hardwork for..." Fatima was saying as some sounds started appearing on the other sides of phone and then the call ended. Abaan git panicked as he dialed it again but no one picked it.

"Everything is in vain, son. Just give me those files." Junaid said.

" Don't call me son. You are just a fucking bastard who killed my mother." Abaan roared as he was feeling helpless like he did when her mother was dying on the streets.

"Money is everything for me and you know this. Bring the files or I would order Eliff to kill her." Junaid said as Abaan looked at Daniel. They both couldn't do anything. They were two and they were many, moreover, Fatima's life was in danger.

"Fine. But you would fucking regret that and I won't leave you so easily." Abaan said as Junaid laughed at his victory. Abaan called his men to bring the files as he told them the password of his locker. He didn't even ended the call as the sounds of gun shots heard as his men came with Charlie. 

"Stop." Daniel and Abaan asked as they couldn't out Fatima's life in danger. They killed Junaid 's men as Junaid was freaking out.

"Don't worry. My car broke down that's why I came late but I heard your conversation. I called Hamza, Fatima is safe now." Charlie said as Abaan sighed his breathing started again which he didn't know was stopped for her.

"You saved my life again." Abaan hugged him as Charlie was the one who came to hospital to help his mother but God had other plans and this time he save his life, Fatima again.

"Don't be so cheesey." Charlie scoffed as he smiled.

" I am your father I won't let you go so easily." Junaid said as the gunshot echoed in the darkness as few birds sleeping in their nests flew away from the trees at the sound of that. The deadly silence clad in between the solitude of trees as no one knew what was in the fate. On that dreading night fate took Hooria, but  no one knew what fate decided this time.

°°°

She was talking to Abaan when loud gun shots could be heard from outside of the farmhouse. It was easy for Hamza to track Fatima as he reached on time. 

"Ahh!" Eliff gasped as she tried to run but Hamza entered and shot Eliff in her head. She died there as Fatima was stunned. She never saw blood like that. She never saw a person dying. She started crying as that was so much for her fragile and soft heart. 

"Let's take you home." Hamza started untying her hands as she wasn't in her right state of mind. She trusted Eliff as she took care of her like a mother but that was all hoax. 

She didn't know as Amna was there. She came out of shock seeing her. Eliff was mother to her. She would be hurt hearing about her.

"You shouldn't kill her." Fatima said to Hamza as he lowered his head.
