"Don't you dare make me out to be the bad person here, Antonio. Don't you DARE!!"

Your mother, Rosa, screamed from downstairs... Antonio was your father, and he just got caught having an affair with another woman... All you could do was silently listen from your room as the argument got more heated.

"Rosa-" He couldn't even mutter a word before she blew up at him again. "You cheated on me, and you think you have a right to speak? You make me laugh... I really thought you could be a good person, but it seems your 'job' got in the way, hm? Pathetic."

The job in question was, in fact, being the most powerful mafia leader in the country. Your own father did such a brutal job, yet he gave you a life of comfort and, most importantly, safety...

"I can't believe I trusted you. After all I did-" For the first time, dad cut her off. "All you did? ALL YOU DID? You want to talk about our beautiful kid upstairs? Who gave them medicine when they were sick? Who took them out for outings? Who bothered to make a CONNECTION?"

SLAP!!!

Your breath got caught in your throat as you heard that sickening sound... Everything went silent for a solid ten seconds before your dad spoke once more.. His tone was quiet and calm.

"Get your stuff and leave. Now. You know what will happen if you don't."

You heard your mom try to speak again but was cut off... Before long, you heard the sounds of shuffling then the front door being slammed shut... She was gone. She didn't even say goodbye.

Moments later, you heard footsteps coming up to your door... There was a soft knock and the sound of your dad's voice. "It's me... I'm coming in." He opened the door and immediately looked at you.. There was a red spot on his cheek. "You doing ok, kid?"
