Cillian

"Open the gate" It was clear the men I saw guarding the gate had been changed, the previous men were done with their shift for the day, and my eyes settled on the one of my men dressed in a corporate black suit and shoes matching the colour of his outfit, he seems bold and too young, I slowly looked in from head to toes, he didn't move knowing I have my eyes on him

"What's your name?" he slowly turned his head gazing body at him, perhaps realizing I was referring to him

"Pablo, Boss" he yelled out like a solider he is

"How old are you?"

"Those my age have anything to do with my strength and power? He seems bold speaking back to me, I felt angry slapping him hard on his face, and he stood still like a log of wood, this aroused my anger, maybe I was looking for bait to let out my anger and frustration on, and he carelessly falls into my ditch, he went down on his knees, he felt afraid now seeing how dreadful I could be whenever I was pissed off, I'll deal with Ethan when I have the time, he shouldn't bring kids to the Mafia world, he should be in school or doing something else with his damn life, I thought to myself

"You don't reply to me when I talk, you listen and I do the talking, you can only reply when I tell you to " I yelled at him

"How old are you?"

"I'm 22 years old, Boss"

"I'm sorry boss, it shouldn't have summoned the courage to talk when I wasn't told to"

"Ethan taught you nothing"

"I don't have time for that, I don't waste my time on unnecessary things"

"Thank you for talking to me, I never knew I would have the opportunity to speak with you"

Pablo's words seemed genuine but I was afraid to pull him close, Bernando was my regret, I thought to myself, seeing him on his knees

"Stand to your feet" he wasn't sure of what to do, he was still on his knees doubting my words thinking my reply meant he shouldn't get up on his feet

"I mean every word I say, stand to your feet, don't make me repeat myself" he quickly stood up wiping off the dust from his trousers

"Thank you, boss"

"Open the gate" Ignoring his words, he pulled out the key from his pocket, the iron gate made a loud cracking noise as he pushed it open

"Stay here" he could perceive the commanding and dominating tone in my voice, he nodded in response to my words and stood alert, like he could sense a war between two mafia group

I walked in to see the young lady, sitting on the foam, the position I had left her earlier on hugging and burying her face on her knees, she seemed dull and dehydrated and her pink lips cracked, I couldn't help noticing she lost a bit of weight but I couldn't let my emotions show, I hardened my mind like a rock and stared angrily at her

"bring in the toolbox" commanding my men guarding the gate

"Are you ready to talk, image what tools would do to you, cutting through your pale beautiful flesh, and I believe you don't want that" I pulled the chair I sat on closer to her, which I had never done throughout my life as the mafia boss, hers is exceptional

"I'm not a prisoner, right?"

She asked me wanting to hear my reply that would make her start talking when I told her the truth

"You could be, it only depends on you" I sincerely let her know

"Who is working...?"

She looked at me like I lost my mind watching the stare in her gaze. "who are you walking..." the door cracked open and Pablo walked in with the toolbox, dropping it on the floor, he crouched down, slowly turning to catch her eyes

"Pablo, leave, now" stressing the now in my voice, making the prison tense, he suddenly feels scared, and hurriedly leaves the room

"Are you ready to talk or do you want my magical tools to get you talking" letting her know what her fate might be if she refused to speak

"I told you I know nothing, I'm a victim of circumstances, bumping into you that cold night having no issue with any Ricci I don't even know, please let me go, I'm a poor girl looking for greener pasture, I came to Britain on my own, I have no one else here and no one would come looking for me if you kill me here tonight, please have mercy on me "

"I'll let you go if you tell me what I need to know"

"Damn you, I know a thing about what you and Ricci have, why are you holding me captive in your web, leave me the hell alone and let me out" she seems angry as she yelled at me, this time she didn't care what I could do to her

"Shut your mouth, and listen to me, you little bitch, I'll pluck off your tooth with a pitcher if you do that one last time"

I had to yell back at her and tried hiding my emotions through my anger, I didn't know if I could feel sorry, Catherine's words play back in my head, letting me know she raised me to have a good sense of judgement, making right decisions, perhaps that could be one of the reasons I haven't verge my anger at her, and Catherine standing up for her increase my anger still, how could she be on this lady side, I thought and stared at her, she bent her head avoiding my eyes

"I had nothing to eat for days, let me go so I wouldn't die of starvation" She wiped off the tears in her eyes, I stood up from my sit, and I could perceive the fragrance from her body heat as I moved close to her, she smells nice, holding strongly to her tiny wrist, she moans in pain, and her hands tremble in fear

"What do you want to do to me"

"Cutting off your finger one at a time would get you talking"

"No, please, don't do this to me"

Her soprano voice echoes in the room, one would think I was about to force myself inside of her, even if that could be the case, no one cares about it, but wasn't irresponsible to do that to any helpless woman, it's way below my league

"Maybe I would pull out your fingernail before coming it, I'll like to see you in agony" her eyes wide open in fear, she tries to pull out her hands but my gripped on her wrist was stronger than she could imagine, I placed the pitcher in her finger, hoping to get her talking, she could only cry out loud like an helpless puppy in a land of no return, her tears breaks my heart and my anger suddenly dies down, Ricci Morenó wouldn't use a weakling like her as a spy, she's a weaker than I thought, she couldn't even handle the thought of having her fingers pulled out, I suddenly let go her tiny pale hands dropping the pitcher on the ground, one part of me wanted to console her but I couldn't let my guard down, I might be wrong she might actually be a mole, I stood up, clenching my my fist, and hitting hard on the wall, I didn't know what to think anymore, she's too innocent for my liking and this only get me mad, she knelt down on the foam, caressing her right wrist, my hands printed on her wrist which suddenly turn red from my strong hold

"Sir, I swear I don't know who Ricco is"

"Tomorrow morning would be the last time I'll ask you this, I hate hitting women, perhaps you'll be the first, don't make me do this"

She could hear how calm my tone was, she nodded her head like she would cooperate with me, she suppressed the sound in her voice as she tried, covering her mouth with her trembling right tiny hands, I walked out the prison gate, and my eyes gazed at the time in my cell phone 3:20 am I didn't know it was morning already

"Don't give her anything to eat until I say otherwise" Pablo and the man beside him nodded their head in response, I walked hurried back to my ward, she was getting the best of me, and I hate to admit it, what did she say her name is again, I thought to myself, trying to remember what she told me the noon of yesterday

"Azelia" I whispered her name under my breath but why do I have to remember her name so easily I thought to myself, caressing my hair in frustration

"Darn it"

A few hours later

I heard the sound of loud footsteps approaching my wards, I took out the pistol I had kept under my pillow, getting ready to attack if it was an intruder forcefully trying to gain entrance unnoticed by my men, I closed my eyes, pretending to be asleep, holding the pistol in my hand and waiting to see what would happen next, instead, I heard a knock on the door, getting permission to come in, Ethan wouldn't knock on the door before coming in, he could only knock on my bedroom door when he feels I was dealing with the issue, I slowly opened my eyes waiting to hear the knock once again.

Suddenly the door slid open, and I jerked up on the bed, pointing the gun at whoever could walk into my ward without my permission, Ethan stood in front of me, wondering why I had a gun with me, one of my men stood beside Ethan, raising his both hands up, I hold firmly to my gun, and my hands placed on the trigger, I quickly realized who it was and quickly dropped off the gun beside me

"Why do you disturb my morning peace"

I looked at Ethan, and lay down on the bed, having a sigh of relief, and quickly shot my eyes

"Go away if you don't have any important matter to say, I need to heal" I jerked off once more remembering something else

"Have you seen my ledger?" referring to Ethan

"Boss, it's about the Latina girl in the cell"

I quickly stepped down from my bed, hearing him mention her

"What happened?"

"She was found unconscious this morning, she was freezingly cold and when she was rushed out to the ward, Dr Gary was attending to her"

I tried to pretend I wasn't concerned about her well-being, I hoped Ethan didn't notice my previous reaction when he made mention of her

"Good, let me know when she's conscious, I need to speak with her" Ethan nodded and walked out of my ward with the guy in walked in with

"Ethan" I called his back, suddenly remembering something, he paused and gazed back at me

"Where is Catherine, I haven't seen her since yesterday afternoon?"

"She's with Dr Gary in the wards with the girl" I signalled him to leave hearing what I needed to know, he walked out and didn't gaze at me, Ethan's attitude seemed he wasn't happy about the way I talked to him the previous day

"Ethan, about yesterday, I have the right to decide how to run things around here, you have to trust my judgement, I'm your boss"

Indirectly apologizing to Ethan, I guess he understand what I meant to say, he need no interpreter.

"You're right boss, Cillian"

He called my name like he always did when we were kids, I felt grateful he could say my name, making it easy to know he had gotten the anger he had off his chest, I lay down on the bed, her image flashback in my eyes and her teary blue eyes stared back at me, I couldn't get her off my mind and I'm sure this wouldn't be what I'm thinking, love is out of Mafia personality, we keep no traces behind us, I have to see for myself to know how she's doing, hoping Catherine wouldn't blame me for her condition.

I quickly left my room and headed to the ward she was rushed to, standing outside the door because I was so scared to walk in my emotions could betray me, my weakness shouldn't be known by anyone not even my right-hand man Ethan

"Doctor, are pulse is getting weaker, you need to do something" Catherine's frightened voice came out of the ward, clenched my fist but I could do nothing

"Calm down Catherine, I'm trying my best so she can stay alive" was Dr. Gary's word, I peeped through the door holes, Dr Gary seemed relaxed about the situation, he was a professional and I trusted his judgment, I hurriedly walked away unnoticed, and walked to my ward, waiting to hear the outcome of the situation on the ground.
