Devil's vow novel Chapter 3

Waylon Palace

Brazil

The Palace had seen many masters some were harsh while others tend to be kind. The generations of Waylon's were born and have gained their honour here .This palace held the darkest of secrets, the ones which nobody dared to talk about but everyone remembered.

White cream walls with majestic pillars which made the foundation of the mansion represented the once peaceful demeanour of the place. The windows were draped with lush curtains, a magnanimous chandelier hanging on high ceiling, all royal blue representing the symbol of the empire - Valour.

His father once owned it , his mother and his little sister were happy in their own dream world and their loving family but some things are bound to change ,now what remained was his thirst for vengeance.

The terror in the eyes of his little sister, Dia haunted him to this day.

There were times when he questioned himself why he didn't go on a killing spree after the tragedy striking his home but then he recalled his father's words 'sometimes death is mercy'  and forgiving was the last thing he could be.

Years.......it had taken him years to bend his emotions according to his will. His aggression and madness stayed draped behind the placid facade.

The new master of the mansion was right now at his favourite place - the underground ,his personal fighting arena .Other members of the palace were strictly prohibited to enter the place. It reeked of fresh wood and snow but it wasn't so refreshing as it's smell.

The sounds of constant punching of the fists could be heard throughout the arena but not outside , because he came there to find his lost peace, to take out his aggression, to avoid converting in the beast his needs were urging him. So to keep it all to himself he made it soundproof .

The Mafia involved drugs, assassination and human trafficking. Ajax's purpose was to make the foundation of the blood regime so hollow that it collapses, crumbles and burns in ashes beneath his foot.

For other men involved in the dark world human trafficking was the most profitable business, a crime so heinous that it could shatter the person from inside and as a little child who had seen his four year old sister on the verge of being taken by vile men….Ajax had made something a more profitable source- assassination of Lords and Mafia Don's while condemning and stopping the black market of human slaves to the extent that the others became wary.

His wrath has rained upon them so ruthlessly that absolutely no one tried to defy him. His methods were cruel but still just. It was against the rules of the mafia to kill kins- the Lords in alliance but laws are made by monarchs and right now his word was law.

He never wanted people to be just afraid of his presence ,No he wanted them to be so damn frightened that even in their sleep they bow down to him. Power - people fight for power and gain it , but he wasn't there to fight for it ,it was his ,always and forever -from the day he was born till his last breath.....till eternity.

His stone cold heart was never beating for love nor that he ever wished it did.
