Cillian

The 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?"

"You know what to do with the corpse, I wouldn't repeat myself" Ethan slightly nodded his head in response to my words, signalling the men guarding outside the iron prison gate, they hurriedly walked in, dragging his corpse like it meant nothing to anyone, truly it means nothing anymore, that's how a betrayal would be treated

"Hey, clean up this mess"

Ethan signalled another of my men standing outside the prison gate minding his business like he knew and saw nothing, he dropped the cigarette on the floor, stepping on it with his black shoes, rushing out to get what he needed to wipe off the blood

"Perhaps this is your first time to watch a scene like this, and it could be you this time around if you don't start talking" She looked at me knowing I wasn't joking with my words, her hands trembled in fear, and she tried to steady it

"I don't hit woman, don't make me do this, start talking when you still have the chance to, before I pass my judgment on you little bitch" I screamed little bitch as it echoes in the prison cell

"Sir, Sir, I have no idea about who Ricci is, I swear I know nothing about him" With a stuttering voice and teary eyes he stared at me, I looked frustrated but I wouldn't want to hit her, Ethan stared at me waiting for my command to deal with the bitch, I slightly nod my head, telling him not to lay his hands on her, she saw Ethan and me gesturing at each other and she could read between the line that she could get hurt any moment from now, she quickly gets on her knees and her hands together as she pleaded for mercy

"I didn't do anything, I'm not a mole, you have to believe me"

"Girls like you with innocent looks are more dangerous than we could imagine, they can easily anyone with their looks"

"I'm not dangerous Sir Ethan" she cried in reply to Ethan's comment, at this point, I didn't know what to do with her, I wouldn't want to hurt her by finding out she wasn't who I thought she was, it'll be a slap to my person, Cillian can't be wrong, Cillian makes no mistakes, those are my ethic

"Let's stop for now, I'll be back in due time"

"Boss, we can't let her be, she has to start talking or she faces the music playing right in front of her eyes"

"Ethan I wouldn't say it again" he nodded his head as he stared right into my eyes, he could see how angry I was but didn't know why, perhaps about Bernando being dead or the strange lady's refusal to comply with the word, I couldn't figure out the reason for my anger, this isn't me I could have let Ethan harm her but I didn't know why I couldn't watch her in pain, Ethan followed behind me and I could tell he has many questions in his mind but I wasn't ready to be questioned by him, I hurriedly walked back to my ward, laying down on my bed

"You want a cup of coffee ?"

I looked at Ethan knowing he wanted to know why I stopped him from hurting her, I had mixed feelings, but what if I was wrong and she was a mole sent by Ricci to spy on us and she pretended to save me, time would tell it wouldn't hide it true self

" Thanks, Ethan, I have to turn down your offer, I wouldn't be needing coffee from you, tell Catherine to get it prepared, just the way I like it" he looked suspiciously at me but couldn't say what his thoughts were, suddenly the wooden door slide open, she slowly walked in with a tray in her hands placing a mug and stainless steel kettle in her hands evaporating out from it.

"Talking about the devil" I whispered in a way Ethan alone could hear, he laughed out loud, Catherine looked confused at us, she didn't know what had transpired between us the seconds she had walked into the room

"Did I miss anything?"

"No Catherine, I'm happy you walked in"

Catherine played the role of my mother from my childhood at the age of nine when her elder sister, my mom died of breast cancer, she took care of me and refused to get married because her suitors didn't want to have another man manchild living with them, my mafia dad didn't have time for me flirting with young girls old enough to be his daughter, Catherine had to stay with me, and didn't want to listen to me when I told her to go get a life for herself, she dropped the tray in a wooden table beside my bed, pouring a cup of tea in a mug

"Please get me coffee"

"Coffee isn't good for your injury" she handed me the cup of tea, sitting down on the bed beside me

"Ethan, dig out details about what Ricci has on me, I need to be a thousand miles ahead of him" his gesture signals me the unfinished discussion we have

"Ethan, go and no more words from you or you'll face the consequences of disobeying me" he gazed blankly at me and I could see anger in his eyes, he knew what would happen next when he opened his mouth to speak to me

"Yes okay" he nodded, walking away from me

"Good" in an authoritative tone I said to him, Ethan walked out through the door and I could hear him curse within his breathe

"What's that about?"

"Catherine, thank you for the tea, but I would like to rest now; I believe you know that, right?"

"I know what you mean, at least let me know what's going on with Ethan and yourself?"

"Catherine go away now, I need to rest" I tried not to sound rude to her, I could see the disappointment on her face but I care less about it, she slowly walked to the door, and she paused like she forgot to say something, turning back to gaze at me

"About the young lady, what do you plan to do with her, I heard she isn't ready to comply" I listened to her speak, and slowly closed my eyes

"I'll know what to do with her when the time is right, perhaps she'll talk on her own when I threaten her a little bit"

"Don't harm her, she looks innocent, I raised you too well to make the right judgment in cases like this, I'm sorry but I wouldn't have interfered in your business but I don't think that lady is a mole"

"Did I think Bernardo could be a mole? He was a kid I picked up from the slump and gave him a better life, my life, my world, but he dared me, that's the consequence of his actions"

"Leave now, I wouldn't want to say something to you I'll regret, please don't interfere in my business, I love you too much to see you cry, I wouldn't want to hurt you with my word, I want no emotional blackmail from you, please leave, I want to be alone"

"I understand you "Her response showed her emotions making her voice unstable, she hurriedly walked out of the ward and I could hear the sound of her heels on the corridors as the sound faded slowly away, I took in a deep breath and closed my eyes once again

Suddenly, I jerked off from the bed, bowing my head in frustration, pulling my black thick hair, like I wanted it off my head, her teary eyes hunted my imagination like I could see her in front of me, her soprano pitch voice filled with fear, her pleading didn't leave my ears, and I couldn't stand to see her get hurt, she's so different from other ladies I had encountered in life as a mafia king, would I be harming the wrong person, I thought to myself, I couldn't hold back the frustration anymore

"Jeez, what the hell is wrong with me?" it's a question, I, myself couldn't answer, I slowly stepped down from the bed and walked slowly to the window, my eyes staring at the foggy dark cloud, announcing night time in the serene atmosphere, fragrance from a tree with pink leaves in the branches, my gaze on the stars in the sky seeing how tinny it seems, my cell phone suddenly beeped I slowly walked toward wooden table taking my cellphone from when it was placed, I picked up the call, realizing who the caller is

"Hi boss, I got news for you" Ethan's voice seems firm as he speaks to me

"What news do you have?" in a commanding tone I asked him

"Bernardo is an asshole, he gave him a ledger for our business"

"Don't cause the dead, it'll be rude to do so" Ethan paused and took in a deep breath, perhaps realizing what I said was true

"Sorry boss" I could hear him say

"How many does Ricci have, and how did Bernardo get hold of it?" I felt angry speaking with Ethan about the issue

"he goes with other men whenever we need to ship the consignment to our clients, perhaps he stumbled on it, he was one of us and no harm done, we think we could trust him but thank goodness he's out of the way"

"Ethan, your words are horrifying"

"He didn't deserve to be alive"

"Don't let me lose my cool, you're beginning to annoy me" he paused again and didn't apologize this time

"Get back my ledger from Ricci, or don't come back to base" I yelled at him on the cell phone

"Yes, boss.." I hung up the cell phone before he could finish his statement

"Idiot" I looked at my cell phone, placing it inside my black trouser pocket, the strange lady suddenly comes to my mind, I walked out from the ward I have been in throughout the day, pacing around the ward thinking what to do with the lady in the prison, how could I make her talk without causing her harm, this was all I could think about, Ricco having something on me is what I could handle in the the tap of my fingers, Ricco is no match for me, I'm the mafia lord that rule the whole of Britain and it environs, I decide who rules the country and who wouldn't and those up against me can't reign in my territory, but how can a little bitch like her keep me thinking so hard throughout the day, I felt angry and decided to snuff out life from her, if she doesn't tell me what I needed to know.

Walking to the prison, I decided to break her into tiny pieces until no life in left in her, just like I did to Bernardo, I pulled out my cell phone and quickly dialled Ethan's number, he picked up almost immediately like he knew I would call him any time soon

"Have you seen my ledger?"

"No boss, our men are still on it, I'll call you if something else comes up"

"Come back quickly, we have an unfinished business on our plate"

I hang up not waiting for his response

"Those my age have anything to do with my strength and power?
