'Promise me, you won't tell me to do that again......'

by Steven Lee
'No......please don't, I still have kids......I beg you, I will return your money back!' So please don't kill me, please!', he cried and you can heard his breathing was getting denser, faster, his fear, feared of me, this feeling was something new for me, I felt that power! I'm strong, but not strong enough, although I had been promoted to an enforcer last month, but there still four more higher ranks above me. In order to let people fear me I had to work myself up the rank! I wanted the power so much, I need to own the Triad. By then I will be rich and respectful. Ever wonder, why I have such strong desire? I will tell you a story about me, so buckle yourself up.

My name is Stanley Wu, I'm born with golden spoon. My family run a shipping business and when I was 10, I'm inherited with millions when the Mexican's drug lord killed my parents and left me and my sister Catherine alive. That was a big mistake for them! At the age of 10 I started to plan how to get my revenge with the millions I once had. Yep the money was also gone, taken by my dear Uncle who faked my father's will and became a millionaire and he didn't even wanted to take care of us after his inherited what I supposed to have. I was mad! Wishing I could kill him with my bare hand and look him in the eye that he will regret for he done. My wish was granted after I join the Triad. The leader of the Triad heard my story and adopted me as his stepson. He trained and taught me until I was 20. I waited 10 years to kill the man who left me and my sister alone. My uncle killed by me brutally, I even buried his family with him all together, this is what you get when messing with me. Catherine was lucky, she didn't had to went through what I did, I kept the secret from her since she was still 5 that year, she wouldn't understand. At the age of 6, she was adopted by a family and I was adopted by leader of the Triad and we lost contact since that day. She reached out to me after she saw the news of my uncle's family brutally murdered. She knew it was me, she said I used to yell when I was asleep that I would kill that monster. She reached out to me hoping that I can help her. The family that adopted her died a few years after the adoption and she did not inherit any of their properties, she worked so hard and tried so hard for living and locate me. I lend out my helping hand and promised her that I will take care of her and she didn't need to join the Triad with me, leave the hard work to me and she just need to clean the house and cook for me.

Time flied! Two years had past since Catherine started to live with me. I ranked myself up to Deputy of the Triad. I didn't need to do the dirty work myself anymore. The only problem was I still need to consult with two other person who was same rank as me and one of them gave me his full support and one of them kept on pulling my leg, pointed I was the rat that blew his negotiation with the Mexican's drug lord because of my history with them. And yet the old man was old and fuzzy because that he can't tell that who's wrong or right, it was time for him to go. Sooner that day, I put a 9mm round into the old man's head and let the blame be taken by the one that pulling my leg since he was arguing with the old man's about me. The brotherhood of Triad voted and we killed him and honored me as their new Dragon Head! After being the leader for a few months, I got married and soon a baby was in the family, her name was Jessie. She was my angel. She was the reason that I started to leave the heavy duty to others deputy. I spent most of my time with my sister and family, and the Triad was in a stable condition, I guessed this should be a happy ending for me.

No! It won't end like that! Months after I think was happy ending for me, the Mexican's drug lord broke into my mansion and killed my wife, luckily Jessie was at school while Catherine was picking her up. I was furious at that time and ordered a mob on the Mexican. As I thought that the wind had finally stopped, I secretly found out that Catherine was contacting with FBI. She must be scared since the incident of my wife. She might blew the whistle and I might be behind bar for the rest of my life. She must go.....but she my only sister, but if I didn't do so, the whole Triad will gone down with me, I can't let that happen. Even if I told the brotherhood of the Triad, due to the bloodline they will start doubting about me of being their leader. Dilemma struck me.......

Months later, Catherine died in an accident, it seems to be brake failure due to broken wire. The brotherhood of the Triad all attended the funeral, one of the deputy even gave an eulogy for her stated that she was like a mother to us, taking good care of our leader and little Jessie. I stood there in silence while holding Jessie's hand. After the funeral ended, all of the Triad sent me their condolences and left me until there was only me and Jessie. Jessie looked at me and showed me her pinky and said
