Arthur's POV:

Five years ago: I came back from gym to find dad screaming and making multiple calls, I have never seen him this angry, I told Sam (our most trusted bodyguard) to tell everyone to give us some privacy, he did the same and asked everyone to leave us alone on our terrace, I walked upto dad, hey old man wat's up ? Why so angry? , did our drug container got stuck somewhere ?

It's that f*cking Mikaelson said dad with gritted teeth, what did Rueben do now ? He has been distant lately isn't ? I asked sitting next to dad.

That son of a b*tch is leaving us, starting over, not just that he took $100,000 from our Brazil client as token money and didn't submit it in our account, it's been two days now.

Why are we talking then dad, kill him, kill entire Mikaelson clan, the world should know nobody crosses the Soros, and if someone wishes to leave us they leave the world too, I said shrugging my shoulder.

Arthur, son, he has been with me from last 17 years, I have seen him grow old, I saw his daughter, little Miá born. Dad! I snapped, caring in our world makes us weak, if we don't set this right everyone else will walk all over us. You wanted me to step up right ? Start making decision, calling shots, well this is my call, I will send Sam right away and get it over with.

Dad remained quiet, I could see the guilt, the sadness on his face, afterall Rueben Mikaelson was like a family to him. Dad, I know you.... Before I could finish my sentense there were gun shots, and my dad had blood coming out of his mouth, I froze, it was as if someone ripped open my chest. I screamed and Sam and others were there, dad fell to the ground and I knew I was losing him, I knew he was leaving me, the blood was all over me, on the floor. He took my hand in his and said, you were born to rule, you are a Soros, you will rule, with that he was gone, just like that, he was gone. I was numb and felt like everything started rotating.

Sam got me and screamed Arthur you got shot too, we need to get you to the hospital Now, they took me to Soros memorial hospital, while on the way I told Sam to finish of Mikaelson, each one of them, they did this to him, he killed my father, the angle from where the gunshot came from was the secured tower only Rueben had access to, it was him, I am sure of it, and that little girl of him bring her to me, I will skin her alive myself and I fainted.

Next I know I had an operation and was out of danger now, finally back to my senses after 5 days, I was sedated with heavy drugs so I get proper rest and recover as fast as possible. The moment I opened my eyes I saw Sam sitting next to me, you okay Arthur? Are you in pain? Let me call the doctor okay? He said. While stepping towards gate to call the doctor. Did you kill them all Sam ? He stopped and turned towards me, yes, they were leaving for New york to start over, I ended them but... But what Sam? What is it? The little one, their daughter, she is missing, she wasn't there. What do you mean she wasn't there Sam ?

We visited Rueben's cousin Ryan Martin, he had no idea about anything, he got to know about their death from us, Chloe did visit them that day though to say goodbye and to give her bicycle to her cousin but then she went back to her parents-said Sam.

I. Want. That. Little. Wretched. Girl. Sam, I said each word with gritted teeth. Find her, bring her to me, I don't care if it takes all your life. Find her. A f*cking 13 year old can't hide for long.

Coming back from those painful memories I couldn't stop looking at her, there was something about her, blue/ green eyes with a hint of golden outlining her pupils, she was famous for being a very cute child back in the days because of her dimples smile and doll like face, dad used to call her little Miá. You thought you could hide from me ? Run from me all your life baby girl? I asked Chloe while lighting a cigar. I knew you would find me, afterall the Soros never leave any lose ends open she said looking at her hands.

So go on, have at it the great Arthur Soros, kill me, tell the world how powerful you are by killing an 18 year old girl who couldn't live because of your fear who was a dead girl way before you found me... Go on. She said while walking towards me.

I stood up to my full height and realised how tiny this little girl is, I looked at her, and found her looking into my eyes ready to face the demon, and I started laughing, which startled her, that's what you think baby girl, I would give you an easy death ? Really ? Naah, that won't be fun, I will torture you Chloe, I will sell you to the highest bidder, I will make you an addict and then I will kill you little by little. I hold her hair in my fist and pushed her towards the pillar so that her back is against my chest and said in her ear- hope you're ready for it baby girl.
