I love the sound of someone who is in agony, begging me to spare their lives, begging for mercy. Did they ecen have the slightest thought of what I would do them if I found out, no they didnt. So why should I show mercy towards them? They broke the Russian mafia oath, and they must face the consequences of betraying us.
I don’t spare anyone and give you a second chance. I don't believe in second changes. I will not pity you. There is only one way out of this situation, and it is through death. There is a reason why I’m known as the grim reaper of death because if you have done or tried anything and I found out , you will end up dead. It is as if you have signed your own death certificate when you betray me, steal from me or try anything to destroy the Russian mafia. No one knows that the boss of the Russian mafia is a woman because no one knew my father had a daughter. Everyone in the underworld only knew that he had one son and a daughter who was killed so everyone just assumed that my father was still the Don of the Russian mafia. My father would go to the meetings held with the mafia bosses and I would listen through an earpiece. The workers at Ivanov Corporation don't know who the CEO is because I always cover my face with a hoodie when I go to the company. Only my assistant, Isabella knew. Right now, my right-hand man, Damien, was torturing one of our men, who apparently had the guts to betray me by selling information about the Russian mafia to the Mexican mafia. I don’t know yet what he send but I have to keep my brothers safe and away from this world because if he send the information about my father having three sons and another daughter, they will track my brothers down and use them to get to my father. I was sitting in a chair watching as Damien torture him. I was enjoying the site. He already lost four fingers, an ear, a few of his teeth and was full of cuts all over his body. He was chained to the ceiling. His head laid low, and he was spitting out blood. I lift my hand signalling Damien to stop. While all of this was happening, a few of my men were standing behind me, watching what was happening. I stood up and walked towards the betrayer . “You see this is what happens when you betray me. I don’t think any of you want to be in this situation, do you?” I said stopping in front of the betrayer and looked at my men. “No, boss.” All of them said at the same time. “Good, because if any of you betray me and I promise you that I will find out and when I do, you won’t be spared. You won’t get to live another day. I will torture you and enjoy every single minute of it.” I said with a toneless voice. I turned towards Alexei and gripped his face, lifting it up so he could look into my eyes. “Please don’t kill me. I made a mistake.” Alexei begged with tears rolling down his face. “Chto ty im prislal Aleksey?” (What did you send them Alexei?) I said gripping his face tighter “Tol’ko informatsiya o mafia, vot i vse.” (Only information about the mafia that’s all) Alexei said between sobs. “Vy ozhidayete, chto ya poveryu v eto vy nichego ne prislali o moyey sem’ye.”(You expect me to believe that you did send nothing about my family.) Alexei stayed quiet and looked away. “Ne lgi me.”(Don’t lie to me) I said, gripping his face back towards me so that he was looking into my cold, lifeless eye's “Chto ty im prislal Aleksey? Bol’she ne budu sprashivat.”(What did you send them Alexei? I won’t ask again) I said through gritted teeth. “The secret that the former Russian mafia Don has kept hidden away for years.” Alexei stuttered saying every single word while looking into my eyes. I froze as soon as I heard the words, I was afraid of hearing. This was exactly what I was afraid of would happen all over again. I pulled out my gun and pointed it at Alexei’s head. YA dolzhen ubit’ tebya pryamo seychas! YA dolzhen pustit’ grebanuyu pulyu tebe v golovu!”(I should kill you right now! I should put a fucking bullet through your head!) I could feel the anger and rage build up inside of me. “But I won’t because I will only be giving you what you want. I will give you a slow and painful death. You will die slowly. You will beg me to kill you. I will watch as your life drains from your eyes.” I said as I lowered my gun and threw it on the floor. “It’s my turn to have a little fun don't you think so. Alexei.” “No, no,no.” Alexei shook his head from left to right and started pulling on the chains his hands were tied to. I walked towards the table full of torturing equipment and looked at the different kinds of tools deciding which one to use first. Should I use the blowtorch first? I picked up the blowtorch and walked towards Alexei. For the past thirty minutes Alexei was being tortured by me. Covered in blood from head to toe.At the bottom of his feet was a pool of his blood. I used a tweezer to pull out the rest of his teeth he had left. His tongue was cut off and I shoved it down his throat which made him vomit. His other ear was cut off and one of his eyeballs was carved out his head. Alexei couldn’t stand on his legs because I broke them and you could see the bones sticking out. I carved the Russian mafia’s oath into Alexei’s body with a knife. A spade with a crown on top was carved on to his forehead that the Russian mafia carves into their victims. Alexei was losing a lot of blood. He was in a lot of pain,and he begged me to stop and kill him already, but I didn’t. I tortured him until I felt that I had enough. Fifteen minutes passed ,and I was covered in Alexei’s blood. I stepped back and looked at my magnificent art I have done to Alexei’s body. People would think I’m a psycho for enjoying watching someone die while their life drains from their body. I just enjoy the sight of someone fighting to survive to stay awake while they know it is no use fitting at all because he or she will die anyway no matter what. I don't smile at anyone. The only people I smile at are my family so the only time others see me smiling is when someone is dying by my hands, suffering and in pain. I looked at Alexei and he was struggling to stay awake. I smiled when I saw his whole body fall limp as he blew out his last breath. “Get rid of his body. I don't care what you do with it.” I ordered. I walked out of the basement where the cells were and went upstairs to my bedroom. I entered my bedroom and closed the door behind me. I walked towards the bathroom that was connected to my room. I turned on the shower and striped out the bloody clothes. I entered the shower and just stood under the water as the water rinsed the blood from my body. Since I’m going to Italy tomorrow for business, I will be closer to Alexander and Lucas. I will be able to keep them safe until we stop the Mexican mafia. I don’t know what the Mexican mafia is planning to do or when they will go ford with whatever they planned but I won’t sit and wait for them to do something to my brothers. I will do everything in my power to protect my brother and keep them far away from this world. I haven’t seen them in a very long time, and they will wonder why I suddenly show up after just disappearing from their lives. Even if I tell them I’m there for business reasons they will not believe me. I don’t want them to find out about what is happening because then my little brother will want to help, and I don’t want them anywhere near the mafia world. I want them to live a normal life like everyone else. I want them to live the life that I once had but won’t ever have again.It was the following day, and I was leaving for Italy in a hour. Me and papa were standing outside hugging each other saying goodbye. Papa and I have a very special bond with each other. Since I'm his only daughter that is left he is very protective over me. Papa had a special bond with my brothers and not me when we grew up and I never knew why. He would always show my brothers love and my little sister Lucy but never me. The day I woke uo in the hospital I was a different person, the person papa started to love and we become close with each other, and we began to have a special bond. The father and daughter bond that I always wanted. After mama and Lucy died ,papa speeded a lot of time with me and not my brothers as he used to, but I never questioned him why he stopped and wasn't spending time with my brothers like he used to. He gave me more attention, taking me every where with him, leaving my brother's at the mansion."Papa, you have to let me go." I said smilling."Little one ple
Right now, we were sitting in Alexander's office and to think that he was afraid of blood when we grew up and today, he is a neurosurgeon. When we grew up, he would always pass out of the sight of a little blood or when he smelled it."Nice office." I said looking around.I looked back at Alexander, and he was glaring at me.He said nothing but I could see he had a lot to ask and say but he was holding himself back."I still can't believe that you become a neurosergeon. To think you were afraid of blood when we grew up but I geuss my little brother grew out of it. You aren't that little boy who always passed out for hours at the sight of blood." I said smilling thinking back at the memories."I'm not you're little brother. We are the same age.""I'm three minutes older than you. So , I'm the oldest one and you are the youngest. That makes you my little brother." I said sitting back in the seat and crossing my legs smilling at him."It's only three minutes." Alexander said crossing his a
I tried standing up, but little Marcus pulled me down and I almost fell on my knees, but I quickly regained my balance. I pulled his head away a little bit to wipe away his tears , but he hid his face back in my neck. "Peanut ." I called out to him. "Yes." He said pulling his face out of my neck, looking at me. "Aunt Sophia is sorry." I said wiping his tears away. "Why did you leave me?" Marcus asked. "I did it to keep you save peanut. I had to leave to protect you all. Aunt Sophia didn't want to leave you, but I had no choice. I won't leave you again, I promise." "Pinky promise." He said sticking his pinkie out towards me. "Pinky promise." I said taking his pinkie into myne. "You must be Marcus's aunt Sophia." The teacher said walking towards us with the little boy. "I prefer miss Romano." I said with a toneless voice standing up with Marcus. "Of course, my apologies." The teacher said, clearing her throat. "Elijah when is your daddy coming to get you?" The teacher ask
It was the next day, and it was twelve o'clock in the morning. There was two hours left before I have to go to headquarters. So, I was on my way to the bank to put my engagement ring in my deposit box. It has been seven years since I Iost Nikolai and our unborn baby boy. I came to terms with myself after seven years and finally accepted that they were gone and that I won't see them again. I came to terms with myself that they were dead and no matter what I do it won't bring them back. I accepted that I had lost the love of my life and our baby, and I moved on. I decided it was time I let go of him. I know even if I move on, I won't forget him because of the memories I have of us together. That is the hard part of having memories of someone who was once in your life and then suddenly wasn't anymore. You start thinking about the times you were together, where you were happy with each other and then you realise that it's just memories. You won't get to see that person ever again to make
Ten minutes past already since the robbers entered the Mist. They lined al of us up and collected our phones. I had my burner phone with me and through it in the bag. Angela stood across from me with little one in her arms. Little one hid his face in her neck crying that he wants his papa. Everyone's looked down crying softly to them self, being scared to death of being killed. I looked at Angela and none of this affected her in anyway.She wasn't scared as the rest of the people. Angela is serrounded by danger.She lives a dangerous live, and this is nothing compared to when you go to war. "Sir, we have a problem." One of the men said looking over at Angela and little one. The one who was charge, grabbed the men's arm and walked further away from everyone but stood a few feet away from me. "Sir, that is Octavious Russo's mother and son. All of us will be dead the second we step out of here." I heard the men wispering in their naitive language to the leader. "We should let them go s
Lucas was following me towards my car asking question after question not getting any response from me. Lucas looked down, not paying attention where he was walking and bumped into me. “Sophia why did you stop walking?” Lucas asked, rubbing his forehead. “Shoot the glass Lucas.” I said, stepping to the side, nodding towards my car. “What…….why?” Lucas asked, sounding confused. “I know you have a gun on you, shoot the glass. It’s bulletproof , I can’t break it without drawing attention to us because they are going to wonder how I did it , because even a gun can’t break it. So shoot at it and then I will break it further. ”I said, stepping in front of him. “Sophia, I ca………” Lucas was cut off by the sound of glass breaking. He looked at me, and saw that my eyes quickly went black and then back to normal again. “Khaalida.” Lucas said in a soft voice to himself. “Sophia, you’re bleeding.” Lucas said, looking down at my hand. Looking down at my hand, little pieces of glass
Before entering the Mist, I looked at everyone. My men knew what is about to happen when we step into the Mist but all these other people are innocent. I may be heartless and a cold hearted person but I don’t hurt the innocent or want them to get hurt. These ain’t bulletproof glasses and as soon as bullets start to go off in the bank the glass will break and these people will end up getting hurt and I don’t want that to happen. Walking back to the Russo brother’s to speak with a specific person. “Could I speak with you for a minute?” I said in a toneless voice looking at Octavious. I don’t know if I’m seeing stuff but I just saw a little sparkle in his eyes when I just said that but he quickly covered it with that cold stare of his. We moved a few centimetres away from his brothers and my little brother.“I need you to get these people away from here.” I said looking at his chest. He said nothing and I was about to walk away. “When talking to me, look at me........Now say that aga
Seeing Sophia laying there in a pool of her own blood, everything just started to slowly fade out. Lucas screaming next to me for her to wake up, to not give up. Ever since the day Leo introduced Lucas to us, I knew that one day I will meet Sophia again and that day finally came. Getting to know Lucas the past 3 years, made me miss Alessandro. The last time I saw Sophia was at Alessandro funeral. Alessandro and I have been best friends since university ,so the Italian and Russian mafia made an agreement that they will be alice. I met Sophia a few times when I was with her brother and to be honest she became the first woman I had feelings for or you could say fell in love with but at the time she was 17 and I 25 years old. I knew that nothing could ever happen between me and Sophia because she was my best friends' little sister. I knew that it was wrong from my side and illegal but you can’t choose who to fall in love with. So I waited for her to turn 20 years old to see if there co
So at the moment I was on my way to the address my brother sent me this morning to help the poor young woman who got pregnant by him. Look I love Lucas but sometimes he is a pain in the ass and she’s going to be stuck with him for the rest of her life and possibly the baby is going to be like him, hopefully not. I wasn't going to let her live and struggle on her own during this pregnancy. I had enough rooms in the penthouse so I let my brother know that I wanted her to live with me. That way she was close to me and I could help with whatever she needed. And also it would be easier to keep her safe and my brother when he comes over to help her. And it isn’t easy the first trimester so I didn't want her to be on her own. I'm coming from the university and my stupid ass brother wasn’t there when I told him that he was to go no matter what even if he had a hangover. I didn't tell him to go drinking like that on a school night. So what I said last night went through one ear and straigh
Waking up to my alarm blasting around my room, ringing constantly. Slinging my hand on the night stand I felt around dor the damn thing. Grabbing it from the night stand I threw it across the room, shattering into pieces falling to the ground but the damn ringing didn’t stop. Shooting open my eyes I looked to my left and there stood my fucking cousin, Damien, only a few feet away from me with a damn sly smirk on his face with his phone in his hand. Motherfucker wants to die I see. “Time to get your ass out of bed bitch, you have a busy schedule today.” Damien said, shutting off the alarm on his phone. “When don't I have a busy schedule and what the fuck are you doing here at 7 oclock in the morning?” I inquired scooting up against the bed to lay against the headboard. “Well change of plans. There were a few things added to the schedule so better to start early and then you will be done by 8 o'clock tonight, hopefully. ” Damien explained, sitting down on the edge of my bed cross
Lucas wasn't saying anything, just staring at the floor for the past 10 minutes. I was just sitting there, sipping on a glass of whisky waiting for him to stop finding the floor interesting and decide to speak.Damien was standing to my right, staring at the person across from me who had been looking at me since we came in. I had enough, so I reached behind me and placed the gun on the table. “Start talking.” I said, tilting my head a little towards Lucas. Lifting my head, I made eye contact with Octavious and he had this smirk on his face.“I'm sorry, I fucked up.” Lucas said all of a sudden ,rubbing his face.“What did you do, Lucas?” I asked, taking a huge gulp, downing the whisky.“Igotsomeonepregnant!” Lucas yelled, speaking fast.“What?” I asked but It looked like Leo heard what he said by the way he looked at Lucas.“I-I-I ……. got someone…... .pre-pregnant Sophia.” Lucas said, looking up at me.The glass I had in my hand shattered because of how tight I gripped it when those w
Staring out of the window of the private jet, looking at the beautiful sunset. We were on our way back to Italy. We left around 6 o’clock this afternoon and have been in the air for an hour already and will be arriving in about an hour and a half maybe in Rome, since it was 7 o’clock already. Damien was sitting across from, sipping on his glass of scots on the rocks. God damn pussy, can’t drink it without ice because according to him it's too strong and the ice helps a little bit. Laying my head back , resting my eyes from all the exhaustion I felt. The past three days I’ve been busy non stop barely getting any sleep and papa nagging on my head to look after myself. I don’t have time to rest when I’m responsible for the protection and well being of my mafia and their family’s. The past three days here in Italy I couldn’t stop thinking about little one and Angela and when I boarded the private jet there was this thought at the back of my head about them.. Will I be able to completel
Three days........three god damn days since Sophia left for Russia and I can't stop thinking about her. She's all I could think of, when I go to sleep, when I wake up and she's even in my goddamn dreams. She's consuming my mind without her even knowing or trying. I couldn't focus on my work because she's all I could think of. I don't know why but seeing her Saturday night in that white button down shirt , knowing it wasn't the one she left in, made me infuriated. Telling us, more to Lucas mama and Elijah that she was leaving for Russia not saying why, just saying it was something she has to take care of but nothing big that they should have to worry about her. Lucas wanted to go with her but she said something in Russian to him that made him back down , deciding he didn't want to go anymore. Seeing her with those men made me want to murder them for just being so close to her, especially the one who couldn't keep his damn eyes off her, more to say her ass. Every time she would walk
It's been two day's since I've returned to Russia and I've been working non stop. Turns out that the people who've done my surgery resigned that same day and disappeared off the face of the earth. Looking at these file's of the three people who were responsible for my surgery. Tracking every single one of them down, bringing them back to Russia. For the past two day's I've send my men out to where two of them were hiding. We are still trying to find the third person's location. Yesterday it was Savastian Baladin, and today we discovered where Valik Petrov was hiding. A few of my men went to get him, leaving 4 o'clock this morning and will be back tonight. Savastian wasn't talking, saying he was sworn to secrecy but he did give us the last person's name who we already had but what he said was that she was the one who did the surgery, removed it, Ulya Mozorov. It was difficult to find her because she changed everything about her, her identity and even how she looks, unfortunately we co
The moment Damien and I stepped inside the mansion the atmosphere changed. The laughter died down, everyone becoming serious. All of my men bowing their heads as I walked past them, towards my office. A few quickly scuring away towards their rooms to change into their work attire before I walked past them. Getting to my office I slammed the door shut out of anger, forgetting Damien was behind me. "Damn Sophia." Damien groaned, walking in holding his nose. "There ain't blood coming out." I scoffed, pacing up and down. "God dammit Sophia, sit down you're pacing is making me dizzy." Damien groaned, sitting down on the couch in the corner of the room, laying his head back closing his eyes. Turning around I glared at him, crossing my arms. "Sorry." He said lifting his arms up in defence. Sitting down behind my desk, I opened one of the draws taking out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. Putting one between my lips, I took a long drag, puffing out the smoke. Closing my eyes I layed m
"Miss Sophia." Someone whispered next to me. Knowing who the little voice belongs to I opened my eye's giving him a small smile. "Morning little one." I said in a quiet voice, sitting up against the headboard. "Morning, miss Sophia." Little one said scooting closer to me. "Why are you awake so early little one? It is only 8 o'clock." I said looking at the clock on the desk, across the room. "I'm going with pappa today, miss Sophia. He is taking me with him to the company, and then we are going to go buy me new toys and then we're going to the park." Little one said sounding exited. "Sounds fun, but what are you doing here ,isn't your pappa waiting for you? I said ruffling his hair. "Miss Sophia is going with us." Little one cheered, standing up jumping on the bed. "W-what?" I inquired sounding confused. Where is this suddenly coming from. Why don't I know about this. I have my doctor's appointment today and Angela was supposed to go with me. Why am I going with Octavious and li
Right now we were having dinner. It was was 7 o'clock and almost little one's bedtime. Octavious had this routine for him ,when to wake up, when to go to sleep, when it was screen time, so that he can learn from a young age to respect what his father tell him but today Octavious made an exception for him to watch television whenever he wants because of the play date we had. Little one was in the living room watching cartoons while I was setting the table. "Nonna, ho fame." (Grandma I'm hungry) "It's almost done Elijah, just a few minutes." Angela said laughing from the kitchen. "Elijah would you go call Leo and Lucas and tell them to come down, dinner is ready." Angela said walking into the living room. "Sophia would you help me with plating dinner." Angela said walking back to the kitchen. Helping Angela with plating dinner for everyone , we carried everyone's plates over to the dinning room where Lucas and Leo were already seated and little one waiting for me next to my seat.
