JASMINE FOR THE MAFIA LORD

CHAPTER 54 - The Past

Arriving at BLOOD headquarters,

In the lobby under Alfhonso's building received a call from his father.

“You have arrived?, wait for me for a moment, we will enter the room together” said Leopard without waiting for an answer from Alfhonso.

Not long after, Leopard accompanied some of his men to meet Alfhonso.

Finally Leopard, Alfhonso, Raizon and some of their men headed to the meeting hall or meeting room that was very closed.

One of Leopard's men opened the big door of the meeting room, and they finally stepped inside.

All members of BLOOD have been present, including Ramonev, who is now only an elite board member.

All members stood without exception, some of them looked dumbfounded and implied a face amazed by the presence of Leopard the mafia legend, some who already knew about the news of Leopard's presence still pay respect.

They were all members of BLOOD slightly bowing their heads, a sign of respect for Leopard as the most respected great mafia and Alfhonso as chairman.

Leopard steps towards the end seat with the highest footrest. A large oval table in the middle of the room, on the left and right sides stood the Blood officials, while Alfhonso took a position in the row of seats on the left, adjacent to the Leopard, the leader of the building, because the chair he used to sit in is now in his father's seat.

“Alright, sit!” leopard orders all the participants present in the room, then the man sits ahead of them.

“I say hello and thank you to everyone present here. Perhaps some of you already know the news about my arrival in this country, and the news about this man beside me, yes Alfhonso is my son”

Then Leopard explained to all members that he wanted Alfhonso to occupy a higher position by joining EMO to be chairman, and the position of chairman at BLOOD would be handed over to other members.

Some members seem to disagree with the decision, but some are unable to oppose the decision of the Leopard, a large mafia that is very reluctant.

Finally, after several hours had passed, it had been tentatively formulated that Alfhonso would step down from the chairmanship of BLOOD and would become the chairman of the EMO residing abroad.

In between breaks, Alfhonso had a conversation with Ramonev.

“This is not a decision from my heart sir, but I also cannot oppose my father, because what he explained does make sense to me” Alfhonso said before Ramonev.

“Take the best for you Alfhonso, but if I may suggest you should follow your heart, because the one who will make that decision is you and not your father. Think carefully about this decision. Your father was indeed a great mafia Alfhonso, but he could not force his son to be him, because you have a different path” said Ramonev sage.

Alfhonso was silent and slightly lowered. Because actually he also agreed with Ramonev's opinion, he could not deny that the burden he would hold would be very heavy for the position of EMO chairman, he said, nor did he want to stay away from everything he had captured in that place, nor was there one more thing, which was about Jasmine, he will truly lose the one woman who can open his heart to love, if he follows his father's will.

The man could not fool himself into pretending not to care about Jasmine's disappearance, nor could he deny that his current thoughts were extremely chaotic and extremely lost, either, he could not focus on the problem he was facing, because half his mind was on the girl.

Where the girl went, where she is now, what she is doing, and with whom she is.

“I have decided Mr Ramonev!, I will stay here and become the chairman of BLOOD, I will reject my father's offer, I will talk to him” said Alfhonso steady.

“You are a man no less great than your father Alfhonso” Ramonev said cheeringly.

In a separate room, though,

After explaining everything to Leopard, Alfhonso took his decision with the mantab that he would remain there and become chairman of BLOOD and refused to go abroad and join EMO.

“What does this all have to do with the girl?!, is it because of her that you became weak of this kind of establishment Alfhonso!” Leopard was furious at his son's decision.

“If yes why!, he is only one of my reasons, many more my reasons why I want to stay here. Maybe I will realize your wish when I am very mature, and I am ready with all the consequences, but for now, I want to continue my journey here, please understand.dad.”.

Leopard spontaneously turned to Alfhonso's face when his son called him father, his dense eyes sparkling as if he felt a lump of stiff feeling as if it were melting.

Leopard let out a long sigh, then the man smiled. He grabbed Alfhonso's shoulder and shook it.

“Alright, I can no longer force a child in love and a man who already has principles for his life”

Alfhonso did not expect his father would be that easy to accept his decision, he also smiled looking at his father's face.

“Leo, have you ever really loved a woman?” ask Alfhonso.

“Can't you keep calling me dad?!. It's up to you. I once loved a woman, she was your mother, she was my true love, even though she was not my first, because I had a woman before and from her was born your sister Reondess, then I remarried Lily who was then shot by my enemy, I was a little traumatized by women.but your mother was very kind and tried to make me feel comfortable, it's just that I never realized if I had a pearl” Leopard released its embrace and its face slightly looked up as if remembering something.

“Then why did you leave mom?” alfhonso looked seriously at his father's face.

“He who left me. It was all my fault, because I was late in giving her affection. Since I married her I have never treated your mother well, although I love her, but because I was affected by my drink and my very chaotic condition, I could not control myself. I had brought a woman home a few times and had contact with another woman in front of your mother, when she was pregnant, well your mother was pregnant with you Alfhonso, and I hurt her a few times…” Leopard lowered its head, as if its high charisma and wibawahnya sank and hidden right then and there.

Alfhonso fell silent with serious eyes looking at his father.

“It turns out that behind your greatness, you are indeed a bastard” said Alfhonso.

“Well, I'm an asshole.Even when your mother gave birth to you, I was at the bar drinking with my friends, and when I came home I didn't find my wife, I didn't have my wife, I got angry and broke things, it turns out my father, your grandfather told me that your mother was giving birth to you in hospital”
