Heartfelt Obsession

CILLIAN"Bloody hell" I say for the hundredth time tonight.My side hurts like hell, at this rate I might probably be dead before Ethan comes with backup. I've been in this bloody alley for more than 30 minutes and each minute, the bleeding gets worse. I knew I was going to die someday but dying like a bloody chicken in an alley wasn't what I envisioned. This night wasn't supposed to end like this.I fucking didn't see this coming, Bloody Ricci and his men laid an ambush on me after calling a truce, that's not how things are being done here. In the Mafia, our word is our bond, we live by a code but what does a man like Ricci Morenó know about codes and being an honourable man. Fucking slimy bastard.I feel like I was pushed down a thousand flights of stairs, could still taste blood in my mouth and for the uptenth time tonight I spit it out. Well if I'm going to die, I might as well get comfortable in this bloody place. I'm sure Ricci and his soldiers are already tearing the place apart

CILLIANThe drive from Knightsbridge to the East End with a wound on the stomach was one hell of a task, I hope this better be worth it but then again I know Ethan wouldn't call me up if It wasn't something important.I had to rest for a minute in the car, but to any of the soldiers outside it probably looked like I was deep in thoughts. Showing any bit of pain or emotions made us weak and that's how it has been even before my existence.The soldiers passing by bow their heads in Greeting and I reply with a nod of my head, Ethan walks out of the warehouse and opens the car door for me to step out."This better be bloody serious, Ethan" I say through my teeth."It is, we found a mole" and then silence.I look in his direction, right into his eyes. He knows better than giving half information."It's Bernado". Bernardo is a little boy I saved a few years back while he was being beaten to half inch of his life for stealing. He's not quite little anymore and has been more than useful to the

CillianThe memories I had with Bernando clouded my mind, I couldn't stop feeling bad for him, I looked at his bloody corpse on the cold white tile and felt pained that he had to die in my hands, but he caused his death, and his blood his on his hand, the mafia code can't be reverse because of one man, what would my men think of me if I let him live, what's the assurance he wouldn't come back to hunt me, blood ooze out his forehead, I hardened my emotions not to betray me, he needed money for Gwen surgery he should have told me about it, I would have let him have it in exchange for his hard work and loyalty, that I would do for my men, I watch his corpse laying helplessly on floor, Ethan ripped me with his eyes trying to read my emotions about Bernardo's death for he knows how dearly he was to me, I sat motionless on the wooden chair, my eyes tilt towards the Latina girl sitting on the tiny foam on the floor hugging her legs, looking on drench in Bernardo's blood. "Boss, what's next?

AzeliaThe confusion of being in the middle of two routes got me standing still, I didn't know which route to walk in, which seemed quiet, like the passway hadn't been used in a decade, looking at the ground with no footprint I more confused, surrounded by tall trees and foggy dark clouds it'll rain soon.Everywhere appeared to be a forgotten town with nothing breathing on it, but I didn't know how I got here either, I remember working in the bar with my male customers flirting with me even when I tried to ignore them, what the hell was I doing in such a place, I suddenly heard my name out of nowhere, trying to figure out where it was coming from, he walked toward me and seems to know who I was, dressed in a black suit, he hurriedly approaches me like he was my saviour"Azelia""Azelia""Azelia"Different voices called my name, and it echoed loud in my ears, I crouched down holding tightly to my ears"Azelia, this way or you'll get stuck for eternity, I believe you don't want that" I

CillianHer teary eyes flashed back in my memories, she looked timid and seemed to have lost weight in a few days, I sat down on the black couch in my ward and thought about the decision I had made to let her go, Ethan barged in without caution and I could tell how furious he was, I held the shisha pipe in my right hands inhaling the strawberry flavour in the smoke, I didn't need to be told he had the mind to walked in on me like that"Do you need anything?"Ethan stood behind me, pacing on both sides of my ward and I could sense the frustration in his movement, but kept my cool because I'm a man with few words and he knows too much about it"Where's the girl?" He angrily asked me, I kept quiet and didn't want to get involved in his madness"With whom did you order her release? Ethan demanded to know " Should I seek your permission before I do whatever I want to do? "I asked him calmly, my stare would make him think I didn't value his opinion about how things are run in the mafia t
