Cassandra, The Mafia's Bride

Andre: (The childhood friend of Davis. He was shocked to see that his kidnapper was his long lost childhood friend, he was trying to free his hands because he couldn't understand the main reason behind his kidnap) Hey bro, wassup? Why am I tied up like this? 

Davis: (Looked up at his friend and smirked devilishly, then he stood up from his seat and walked up to him. He raised his head up so that his face will be facing him directly then he slapped him hard on his face) Betrayal! Who are you calling bro? Who is your bro? It's definitely not me, because I can't be the brother of a liar, betrayal and backstabber like you. I thought we were best buddies but you went behind my back several times, I would always tell you my secret and doings hoping that I had a loyal friend that wouldn't sell me out even in the face of death, but I was wrong. You! You sold me out to cheaply to save yourself… (He got interrupted)

Andre: (Trying to recover from the hard slap, it hit his left eye and blood was coming out of his eye brown and the side of his face. He could hardly open his eye, his voice began to shake) Davis let me explain, it's not what you think, I promise.

Davis: It's not what I think hun! (He came closer to him and slapped again on that same side) So tell me what it is, I wanna hear your cooked up stories.

Andre: (He was breathing hard and the blood had increased. He was trying to compose himself) Davis, it was all your father's idea, it wasn't my fault. I would never dream of betraying your trust all on my own. You think too highly of me, I'm not capable of doing such thing on my own. Think it through Davis, your dad didn't want to see you follow the same path he followed that's why. Trust me Davis, I'm not lying, I swear.

Davis: (Smiled slightly) Oh really, so now you have added my dad to it all. Ofcourse I know that my dad didn't want me to follow the same path he followed, but look at me now. I still followed that God forsaken path, you have no excuse whatsoever for what you did and I'm never gonna forgive you. You must pay the price for your action whether it's your doing or not.

Andre: (Tears was flowing from his eyes when he remembered how close both of them were when they were still young, not until a terrible accident occurred that splitted them apart) Davis can't you have pity on me, I'm your friend and I've known you from childhood, it's been long since we saw eachother, but today that I get the opportunity to see you again, this is how you treat me, like an arch enemy. Please Davis don't do this to me, even though you have always had the better things than I, I've never dreamed of hurting you in anyway, this I promise.

Davis: (Took pity for the first time on his friend, he recalled all their past memories and he wasn't ready to hurt his friend, but he still had this heavy grudge in his heart that couldn't be overlooked. He had many questions seeking for answers as to why his friend would betray him after all they have been through in the past.) It's with a heavy heart I'm treating you in this manner but I have so many unanswered questions as to why you betrayed my trust after all we've been through, I trusted you so much but you turned your back at me when I needed you the most, why?

Andre: It all started when you celebrated your fifteenth birthday, your dad was bragging about your success in school, how bright you were and how far you've helped him in this business because of how smart you were and he was hoping to will everything to you as he's only son and child from his beloveth wife-your mom. So your step mom was jealous, she tried to convince and make your dad to change his mind but he wouldn't. You know your step mom had two sons and a daughter for your dad, she wasn't happy that all the possession was going to a dead woman's son while she was still alive and had other children, so her concern was if your dad gave you everything what will he give to her children, being the most wealthiest man then. When she scaled it she realised that nothing was going to her or her children and that pained her and made her to start taking some drastic actions against you and your dad. If you notice on your fifteenth birthday, you were rushed to the hospital after eating the cake she prepared, you almost died and were on intensive care for some days.

You might not have known, but during that time I was the one always coming to check on you and stay with till night fall. It was so serious, she made so many attempts to kill you just as she killed your mom.

Davis: (Quickly held the collar of Andre when he heard the last statement) What did you just say? Did I hear that right?

Andre: Yes Davis, your stepmom is the murderer that killed your mom. She didn't die an accidental death, she was killed cold blooded. At a point it was as if your dad was aware of what and who killed her and how she died but he kept it a secret all this time, hoping to make up for his sins by giving you everything you so desired. There is a lot of things and secret you don't know, and it all involves your stepmom and dad.

Davis: But how do you know about this much and I know nothing?

Andre: After you went missing, I made up my mind to find out the truth behind everything, and whenever I was in your house I was always snooping around. Do you remember that bet I made?

Davis: (Tried to remember) Oh yes! I remember, you said you were going to prove to me that my stepmom was evil and she didn't love.

Andre: Yes, so whenever I was at your place, I was always snooping around, recording every argument, watching her every step and move. On that day I told you not to eat the cake made by your stepmom but didn't hear me, even after coming back from the hospital, you still wasn't careful about her, and that's how you got yourself into trouble. I was threatened and I had no choice but to run away. I searched for you but couldn't find you then I settled for fate.
