Chapter 3 Fake Or Real
I ran for a few more days and met them again. Cliff’s people were everywhere again.
I was out of cash, and my food and water were finished. I was tired. I just wanted to rest.
But I couldn’t, because they were right behind me, and everywhere else.

I also noticed that the people on the streets seemed to have pictures of me. They were looking for me too. It was all Cliff’s doing.
I couldn’t go anywhere. It was like I was trapped.
“Hey!” One woman called at me. And when she saw my face, she shouted. “I found her!”
“Please, don’t tell them anything. They will kill me,” I begged.
But she sighed sadly. I’m sorry. They promised me a lot of money. I need it.”
I didn’t take any more time to think. I ran again. And this time, it was like the whole city was after me.
I ran behind the trash container and stayed still. Luckily, most of the people ran by. They didn’t see me.
1 shut my eyes tight and tried hard not to cry. Then, I remembered something.
I took out my phone that I hadn’t switched on for so long. Luckily, I had been clever and charged it at the old couple’s house.
I called him. I called the man that I was supposed to have called on that same day that my dad died.
Anthony Richardson’s POV
I was in a complicated mood after the call.
Even though I instructed my men to track the phone, something was bothering me. Did the girl just say that she was Scott’s daughter?
Scott was my mentor, my master, and more like my father ever since I was ten.
My name is Anthony Richardson. People close to me call me Tony, while the rest call me either Boss or President Richardson.
I’m thirty years old. I’m a CEO of a company as well as a Mafia Lo
Lord.
I own a Troup of trained men, most of whom are mercenaries. I inherited them from Scott.
When my mom died, my dad took me in. But just a few days later, my stepmom kicked me out of the house.
My dad was never fond of me, to begin with. So, he never looked for me after I left. It was like they never cared if I was dead or alive.
All they did was put all their attention on their other two children, my brother and sister.
Also, the extended family didn’t care about me. They said that I wasn’t their blood. They called me ‘contaminated‘ just because my mom came from a low social class, or at least they thought so at the time.
It seemed like my mom had never disclosed to my dad who her real family was. My dad thought she was just a poor little gul
sho had gotten to his bed to climb up that social ladder.
So when I left, I knew that there was no coming back. Because I didn’t know anyone from my mother’s side, I began fending for myself, until Scott found me.
He picked me up when my own family abandoned me, just because I was an illegitimate child. He trained me to be the man
I was not only a rich billionaire who owned a very big company in the country, I was also an underground Mafia king who

controlled almost everything that happened in the country.
I was respected and envied by many people. But still, I had a lot of enemies. So, I was always very careful of whom I interacted with.

When I heard of Scott’s death two years ago, I was broken. Of course. I knew that my Master had enemies everywhere. But it was still so hard for me to accept it.
On the same day that Scott died. I received a call from a girl, who claimed to be Scott’s daughter. The girl said that she needed my help and that people she didn’t know were after her.
I always knew that Scott had a daughter and a son, but I had never met them in person. Scott liked to keep his private life private.
So, when someone else called me a while later, claiming to be Scott’s daughter, I felt confused.
But something inside me nagged me to find the girl. I didn’t know why, but I wanted to find her.
“Don, this could be a trap, my assistant, Drake, tried to explain.
I knew that it could be a trap, but I still felt like I needed to try. What if things were more complicated than we thought?
“Inform a few of the trusted guards. We are going for her,” I instructed.
Drake’s phone vibrated, and when he picked it up, he seemed a bit worried.
“Don. Cliff is in the city. His men are everywhere. They seem to be looking for something,” he explained.
1 briefly furrowed my brows. “The girl,” I said. “Let’s go!”
If Cliff was looking around, he could have heard about the girl. I couldn’t let him take her away.
My men had black SUVs packed on the street. Luckily, it was in the middle of the night and there were few people and activities. I hated too much attention.
“Don. I told you. Someone is playing a prank on you. Maya is Master’s daughter…
Drake was still speaking when I raised my hand to stop him from speaking. I then peeked behind the dustbin. I exhaled quietly seeing the girl hugging herself tightly and in fear.
She was young and thin. From one glance, one could tell that she hadn’t eaten well for a while. But still, she had this beautiful face that any man would be drawn to. Her skin was white, and her large beautiful eyes spoke a lot about her.
Drake rubbed his hair in confusion. “Um… it can’t be…“
“What’s the secret phrase?” I cut Drake short once again and looked at the girl. I didn’t know why I asked her that.
On the day that Scott died, Maya called me. She said that she was Scott’s daughter and that he had told her to look for me if anything happened to her.
She even said that she was hiding at Matt’s place, Matt was her dad’s best friend. So I went to get her.
She looked scared, but something about her seemed off from the beginning.
For a person who had lost both a dad and a brother, she didn’t seem so sad. Anyway, I didn’t mention it. I assumed that people were different. Maybe her way of handling grief was different from ours..
After all, she had my number. Scott had given it to her. And she was with Matt. Matt wouldn’t give me the wrong daughter, right? He had known everything about Sco11.
Even though I didn’t show it, at times, I got annoyed with what Maya did. She was very proud and looked down on everyone
I had known Scott, and I didn’t think her daughter would have such character. But I had to take care of her, just like her dad

had taken care of me.
I noticed that she probably was falling for me. After all, many women wanted to be with me.
She was just a little girl. So all I could do was keep my distance while at the same time, remaining soft towards her.
If she was the only thing that Scott had left in this world. I swore to protect her and make her happy, no matter her character or who she was.
