"What do you think you're crying about?" Claire said looking at the floor
"Huh?" the man said and looked at Claire whose face was facing the floor
"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE CRYING ABOUT?I'M THE ONE WHOSE SUPPOSE TO BE CRYING HERE, NOT YOU. YOU BASTARD" Claire shouted as she slapped the mam continuously
"Claire stop" Samuel shouted as he locked the door and rushed over to Claire and pulled her away from the man "Claire calm down" Samuel said holding Claire who was struggling in his arms. After some minutes, Claire calmed down and starts to cry.
"Why would you do such a thing?" Claire sobbed with her palms on her face "Why?" She shouted looking at the man and saw that the man was looking at her with pity. So she claimed herself down "Let's begin" Claire said sniffling "Why are you crying and telling me sorry?" Claire asked the man and the man looked at her and sighed.
"I'm sorry for killing your family and abusing you. I didn't mean to do it. It was an order and if I didn't carry it out, they would kill my family" the man said
"What? What do you mean by that?" Claire asked the man as she was very confused.
"It would be better for me to start from the beginning" the man said and Claire nodded. The man sighed and began
"My name is Mario Sylvester. 10 years ago"
Flashback
'I was a successful man with a good and wonderful family' Mario narrated as man, which is Mario stood in front of clients and business men and women explaining on details and drawing the scales and size of the business if they move and work this way. 'I had everything. A wonderful
wife and two beautiful children. A girl and a boy' Mario said 'But as they say good things don't last long' Mario said as a man, Mario, came home looking depressed and frustrated. He told his family of his predicament and they told him that everything would be alright 'Ever since I lost my job, I have been trying of a way of gathering money to start a good dancing house but it seem no one was willing to lend me money. But due to fortunate or unfortunate luck, my friend was a close friend to that your friend'
"My friend? Do you mean Patrick?" Claire asked and Mario nodded before he continued.
'When I told him I need money for business and he said okay, he'll help. So three days passed, and my friend, Michael, took me to your friend father and fortunately, he gave me the money and I was so happy that I finally have money to start a dancing studio, not knowing what I've gotten my self into'
'Three moths later after my business had prosper, it begin falling and my dancers left me. And I was broke again. And your friend father, Peter kept patronizing me to pay him the remaining of his money. Which consists of 5 million dollar. I was so confused on what to do. How would I get the money to pay him? I didn't know. I was walking home when a car came close to me and two men came out and rushed me into the car and covered my nose with an handkerchief that made me lose consciousness'
'By the time I woke up, I was face to face with Peter Simon'
"I see you've woken up" Simon said looking at Mario
"What? Where am i?" Mario asked looking at Peter. He tried cleaning his eyes cause he felt dizzy but he noticed he couldn't move his hands and then he looked down to see his hands, bound to the chair, he's sitting down on. "What's going on?" Mario asked shouting
"Calm down. All I just want from you is my money" Peter said "So where is my money?" Peter asked raising Mario's chin with his hand, making him to face Peter.
"I don't have it" Mario said averting his eyes from Peters. Peter chuckled and removes his hands from Mario's chin
"I know you don't" Peter said "That's why I'm gonna allow you to pay my money, my way" Peter said and turned on the television. He pointed to the television and Mario's eyes followed his finger and his eyes landes on the television. What he saw on the television made his eyes nearly bulge out. On the television was his wife and kids, with a gun pointed at there heads and they were crying out to Mario for him to help them.
"Please don't hurt them. I'll do anything you want. Please don't hurt them" Mario begged and Peter switched off the TV
"I know you would. That's why I kidnapped them" Peter said
"So tell me what you want"
"I want you to kill Maxwell Winters and his family" Peter said smiling and Mario eyes widen at this.
"WHAT?!!" Claire and Samuel shouted the same time and Mario nodded. Claire looked Mario with widen eyes as tears slip from her eyes. She looked down and continued crying as Mario continued his story.
"WHAT?!!" Mario shouted looking at Peter with widen eyes "Why would you do that?! He's your beat friend" Mario said looking at Peter with disbelieving eyes
Peter tched and said "Friend my ass. Do you know what its like to have a best friend where two of you started from the scrap and become successful but one of you ends up getting richer and marry the woman you love!" Peter shouted "Do you know how it hurts?!"
"You're right I don't get it. But that's not right. For your to kill your own best friend because he's wealthier than you. Your still rich. Your the second richest guy in the world, aren't you content with.." Mario shut up when a gun was pointed to his forehead
"Shut the fuck up! I don't need this type of advice from a poor man. You either do the job or you're whole family gets it" Peter said grinning evilly. Mario sighed and looked away and nodded
"Great. Your mission began tomorrow" Peter said and nodded at his men to untie Mario, which they did.

"After eight years, they found out you was alive and in an Asylum. So they killed my wife and took my two kids with them, saying that if I don't kill you, then they'll kill both of them. I had no choice. I didn't want to lose my precious children" Mario said as he stood up from his bed and Samuel saw that his hands were untied. So he was about to rush over to Claire to protect her but he stopped when the man fell on Claire's lap and begged for Claire to forgive him. Mario held Claire hands with his and begged her. Claire looked at the man with tears in her eyes. She looked at him and hugged him
"I forgive you. It wasn't your fault. I promise you, we'll get your family back and arrest that bastard" Claire said anger evident in her eyes. She let go of the man and stood up from her chair. She turned and walked towards the door and stopped at Samuel side "Samuel call the police. We got people to arrest and bring Mario outside after he has dressed in his uniform" Claire said and walked out of the room and backed the door. When she walked towards the exit of the Infirmary, she sat down at the bench and removed a folded sheet of paper from her breast. She remembered how she got it.
Flash back
Mario fell on His knees and begged Claire by holding her hands and as he did that, he slipped a piece of paper in her hand, Claire looked at him confused and he shook his head and said a voiceless 'Don't throw the paper away' she looked confused at first but she gave a slight nod and hugged the man, putting the piece of paper in her chest.
Flash back end
Claire sighed and opened the letter. At the top of the letter it read: "THE REAL STORY" she was confused but continued to read it and by the time she was done. She cried with anger and joy. She laughed and cried at the same time. And then she wiped her tears putting on a Serious but happy face.
