The Love of the Cold Mafia
Scrutinizing the events of a dozen years ago

"Actually you're not our son."

The deg! Like being struck by lightning, the words of the father so pounding violently shocked him. Sheena froze with tears that would be ready to spill.

"W-what? I'm not dad's son? Not the mother's son? What does this mean?" Sheena looked at her parents in turn.

"Mother, tell me this isn't true, is it?" Sheena looked at her mother who first shed tears.

Sheena shook her head strongly, her throat was as if it was stuck, her tongue was a mute with lips tightly clenched. For 21 years of his life, he had only learned this truth.

"I'm sorry, son, forgive us, we've been hiding the truth to you all along."

"Why? Why does Nana know now?"

"We don't want to upset you, and mom and dad agreed to take care of you without having to tell you your real identity."

"What's that why? People here always say I'm 'a bastard'? Because I'm not a father and mother's son?"

Mom looked at dad, dad nodded his head. "Take comfort in your emotions, I know this is unacceptable to you, but this is the reality."

Sheena ended up crying, shedding her tears with a broken cry, her sobbing was even very loud, knowing this even though it was from her parents directly and not from someone else, it was still very painful.

Father and mother were silent, leaving Sheena with her cries, mother hugged Sheena tightly, as well as father, she said, the wise man seemed very guilty of telling Sheena after all these years had passed he was living a lie.

After a long time passed, Sheena wiped her tears. "Then where? Where are my real parents?"

Dad nodded weakly. "We don't know son, because we adopted you."

"That time the marriage of your father and mother went almost ten years but neither was given a child, and then decided to adopt a child, the man said as a lure, and then we decided to take care of you, when you were five."

"But why doesn't Sheena remember anything? Why can't Sheena remember both of Sheena's parents? Or even his memories."

"From what I know, the mother of the parlour who took care of you, she found you in front of the parlour yard with wounds, and a ragged body camping, they said you passed out and in intensive care, she said, once you wake up you don't remember anything else, you're like you're losing your memory."

She hugged Sheena again. "Nana, from the beginning we saw you, father and mother were so touched, you were so cute as a child, after deciding to adopt you, we decided to think of you as a child ourselves."

"That's why we moved out of the old residence and decided to stay here, taking care of you. At first our intentions were wrong, just wanting to be your lure, but gradually, mom loved you more and asked me to keep it a secret about your truth."

"I don't know what to say, this is all too sudden for me to digest, I'm not your son and I only found out the truth after I was twenty-one." Sheena could barely continue.

"I'm sorry dad, I'm sorry son's mom." said her parents.

"Oh yeah, can I get that box?" father hinted at mother, the middle-aged woman nodded then picked up something in the closet drawer.

"It's the only thing you've got attached to you, son." I opened the wooden box that mom gave me.

A white gold necklace with a blue gem water droplet shaped pendant that was so dazzling to the eyes. Sheena could barely take her eyes off the necklace.

"This necklace has been around since you were found with the mother of the parlour, this necklace has always stuck with you, the mother of the parlour said maybe this is the gift of your real parents." I handed the necklace to Sheena.

"Now this necklace I'm giving it back to you." Sheena took the necklace, rubbed it gently, hoping she could recall the memories of her real parents through the necklace.

"Let the mother dress." mother suggested, Sheena nodded, handed the necklace to the mother, then turned to let the mother put it on.

"This canyon is deliberately kept, just in case you find out about the real truth."

Sheena slightly lowered her head, rubbed the necklace jewel, then looked back at her parents.

"Dad, mom, I've decided, I want to find out about my origins."

"Jayden, how many times have you said, never bring up a problem that's past!" Grandpa Judis kicked the table in anger.

"Why? why don't you tell Grandpa just tell me the simple thing? about my parents' deaths?"

"What else do you want to talk about?" Grandfather was finally able to act calm, the old man clasped his cane back.

"How many, how did my parents die?"

"I told you it was all pure accident."

What Jayden knew, after the accident he was hospitalized, then the grandfather came, claiming to be his father's coworker, Jayden who was already a kara was finally adopted by his grandfather and his memory was just about that, he did not even know where his extended family was, when his parents were gone.

"Isn't the accident so strange? I remember when Dad said that if the brakes were blong, what did he mean?"

"Is there a conspiracy behind all this?"

Grandfather was still calm, the man was indeed very smart in managing expression, until Jayden also learned from him.

"What made you ask all this? after all these years have passed, are you bringing it back?"

"Since it keeps buzzing in my head, it's all about the memory of the accident, I don't understand why the dream only came when I had a birthday, as if it was a signal for me to go back to investigate."

"Already Jayden, there's no point in you investigating, everything's over, there's no point in you bringing it back." Grandfather then stood up, preparing to leave.

"Then what about that little girl!" Jayden stood up in a loud voice.

"The girl I met a lot at the hospital, who also lost her parents to the accident."

Grandfather stopped, tightening his grip on his wand. "Grandfather doesn't know about him."

"Isn't this so weird? the girl disappeared right when Grandpa found out I was always seeing her."

"It's as if he's been removed."

"What do you mean!" Grandpa became angry.

Jayden snorting. "Simple it, all this time what grandfather planned."

Jayden honestly never put suspicion on grandfather, but when he saw the files on behalf of his father in the mansion his grandfather's suspicions began to arise, especially Jayden very remembered, when I was a kid, my grandfather talked to someone who Jayden thought was very suspicious.

"I don't know at profit!" Grandfather turned his head and then kicked the table with his stick.His old eyes lit up as if hinting at the wrath that was held.

"Who are you still alive thanks to now? thanks to whom you still stand with the highest power today."

"I know, I should have said a lot of thanks to you."

"But all this time I've proven my performance with my own hard work, I know you adopted me because you want to find your successor, I've also built this largest mafia organization with my own hands."

"So you want to say it's even." Grandpa smiled cynically.

"Remember, if it wasn't for me you'd be a bum."

Jayden clenched his fists, his teeth grinding with his jaws hardened.

Grandpa took a long breath. "There's no point in continuing to debate this."

"Prepare yourself, about the matchmaking that you will arrange for you," said the grandfather then turned away.
