I threw another punch, my hand covered in Leonardo's blood."Please stop!" He begged, blood spilling from his mouth as he tried to speak.I couldn't feel any mercy for him, no matter how hard I tried. I couldn't feel anything, and the things I was going to do to my father, would be so much worse.Ace stood in the corner of the room, smoking a cigarette. He always seemed to have one with him; he says it helps calm him down. I don't believe that though. I've witnessed Ace being angry, nothing calms him.He began to walk out the door before saying, "Ice, I've got to go. I'll see you at the meeting in my living room tonight""I thought it was a party," I replied, rubbing my hand which was sore from hitting Leonardo so many times. I hadn't been to Ace's house in a few days. I stayed with Deja while we dealt with Andrew and Leonardo."Mm, it is, kind of," he replied before shutting the heavy metal door behind him. That was a bit suspicious.Ace and I were divided on what to do with our cap
I watched as Sofia took a seat next to Kaylo I only knew her name because I had heard Ace mention it previously. No one liked Kaylo, not even me. I don't know why Ace keeps him around, probably because of his father. I watched as Kaylo slid his hand onto her thigh. Sofia reacted viciously, mumbling something I couldn't hear; This girl had a bit of viciousness to her. That's how it seemed anyway.All I knew is that Kaylo was lucky Ace hadn't noticed. I was tired, it had been a long day and I felt like kicking up some drama."Who are you bringing to the ball, Ace?" Someone chirped, I didn't notice who said it.Ace clenched his teeth, not replying. I saw my opportunity."Are you bringing Sofia?" The same person asked."Sofia is just another one of Ace's whores. Look at her, she's dressed in his clothes from earlier" I winked at Ace, expecting him to laugh.Ace looked over at Sofia, who was sitting by Kaylo uncomfortably, barely speaking. I saw his eyes darken."His dad always chooses wh
I stood in-front of the mirror as I checked my tie. I wore a dark blue suit with glossy, black shoes."Alex, stop checking yourself out and help me!" Dante whined from the bathroom.He couldn't do his tie. I just laughed as he stood quietly, looking defeated."Why do neither of you two know how to do your ties, I was the one who grew up without a father you know?" I sighed.Dante wore a brown suit with brown leather shoes and a black tie to match. His suit had a checkered pattern woven into it. I rolled my eyes after doing his tie in two seconds. Dante seemed nervous as he stood by the mirror. I noticed a glimmer of doubt in his eyes."What did you think of Sofia?", he asked suddenly, breaking the silence and grabbing my attention."Not much, she seems more like a distraction if anything. I want her gone", I scoffed, as I sat on the edge of my bed."I liked her, she seemed nice", Dante smiled stupidly in the mirror.It seems like he also has a crush now even though he's bringing his '
I sat in the limousine with Dante and his girlfriend. I don't know her name, I didn't care enough to ask. Dante is a serial dater. He wanted to have someone he could rely on. He didn't realise he had already found it in the mafia. We're a brotherhood.Dante would just let people walk all over him. People like that get chewed up and spit out in the mafia, that's why Ace and I always have to look out for him.The limousine stopped outside a huge building with huge, cream coloured, concrete pillars in-front of the door. The pillars and building had intricate designs carved into the concrete. There was few windows but they all stretched up the building with a black cross in the middle. If anything, this building reminded me of an old church.I stepped out of the vehicle to see other people entering the ball. You had to show your invitation to enter with your name scribbled on it. Then you had to show your ID, and you were allowed in.Normal citizens have attempted to enter before, but the
I grabbed my date by the nape of the neck.This poor girl didn't ask for any of this. It was completely and utterly my fault she was here yet I wouldn't show the heaviness of the guilt I felt. I could've been sick when I heard her cries or her screams for help, yet no one would save her and I'm forced to take her life. It sickened me as I stepped onto the bloodied tarp, which lay on the floor.The girl tried so desperately to break my grip on her. She clawed at my hand which was gripping her neck. I threw her into the chair as a man I had never met before, handed me a knife; which also was blood-stained.The girl sobbed in the chair."Please, my dad is waiting for me to come home!" She begged,as the men tied her to the chair.Why did I have the right to take this gigirl'sife?I stood in front of her, ad held the knife to her throat. She could see it in my eyes. I hope she knew I didn't want to do it. I hope she knew that this wasn't who I wanted to be.I pulled the knife across her t
My fist pounded against Ace's door as I stood outside furious."Ace, open the fucking door!" I yelled, Dante still sitting in the car from shock.I saw a silhouette of a figure approaching the door and unlocking it. I swung the door open and it revealed Ace."What the fuck were you thinking?" I shouted, waving my arms in the air with panic. "You could've gotten yourself killed"."That would've been so tragic" Ace smirked, as we made our way down his hallway towards his kitchen."I'm being fucking serious, you could've gotten yourself killed. Look at Dante, I had to drag him from the ball, he's so traumatised. I had to kill some innocent girl and you get to walk away?", my face becoming twisted with disgust. "How is that fair?"."None of it is fair Ice, you fucking idiot, I'm the mafia boss so I decided what I can or can't do. Keep yelling at me, it won't change the outcome!" He sneered back, his pride so unbelievably high."You ruined yourself, do you realise that?" I spat, "ruined".
I hadn't left my room in days, Dante had tried to bribe me out with food but little did he know, I'd rather not eat anyway.I had fallen deep into depression, deeper than I had ever gone before. Breathing was difficult. I stared at the blank wall, trying to process my thoughts. I had nothing left anymore, no revenge, no purpose.Until I heard a knock at my door."Ice, you might want to see this!" I heard Dante say urgently, he was behind the door."I don't" I rejected his proposal."Is this you?" He asked, and it caught my attention. What was he talking about?I climbed to my feet with a groan and unlocked my door, opening it to reveal Dante. He held a golden locket in his hand, which dangled gently."It's a locket?" I rolled my eyes about to shut my door again."No look," he pleaded before I turned back to him.I watched as his chunky finger pressed the smallest button on the side of the locket. It opened to reveal a picture of Avery and I as kids. My eyes widened with disbelief as I
I had been busy the last few days with mafia related business, so I hadn't been home much; but I was today."Why do you eat so fucking loud?" Ace grumbled to Dante who was eating my cookies in his office. He was slouched in the chair and looked miserable for some reason."What is your problem, bitch?" Dante asked, spewing cookie crumbs everywhere. The palm of my hand slapped my forehead. These two were idiots, I'm living with idiots."Would the both of you just shut up?" I hissed."Fuck you Ice," Dante sneered."Fuck you Dante," I spat, scowling at him."Yeah, fuck you Dante." Ace glared at him."I'm leaving, fuck this," Dante snapped, suddenly becoming angry. I didn't think he was joking, but Ace carried on with the joke."You're a pussy." Ace rolled his eyes."I'm a pussy?" Dante sneered, turning back around and walking towards Ace."You heard me," Ace said, with a big smirk across his face."I'm the fucking pussy," Dante shouted, sounding as if he was in disbelief. "Says the one wh
