Sia woke up from a coma after seven months, only to discover that she was the only sister of a Mafia overlord. Due to amnesia, she didn't recall all of her memories, but one thing she couldn't forget was how her father was murdered on her birthday by their enemies. This memory plagued her with nightmares every night, terrifying her. Driven by the desire for revenge, she believed that avenging her father's death might free her from the darkness that engulfed her. Thus, she embarked on a quest for vengeance. However, she was unaware that the four men she killed were not the ones responsible for her father's murder; they were merely pawns. In the underworld, everyone knew the name of the true culprit, but no one knew what he looked like, making it extremely difficult for Sia to find someone who existed only by name. One day, however, he appeared in her apartment like a ghost. He looked at her and said, "Aren't you looking for me? I'm here now, Little vermin.’ ‘Who the hell are you?’ With a sly smirk lingering on his face, he answered. ‘I’m your sweet nightmare, Little vermin. I give both sweet and lethal nightmares your experience every night.’

Ever since I regained consciousness, some part of me went missing, perhaps my sanity. With a devil knocking on my door every night, my eyes were shut; the only reason I hadn't had a panic attack was the help I was getting from Nora, my therapist who Carlos recommended. Despite his dirty work, he was more willing to take any risk to see I was getting better. I despised every primal therapy session with every bone in my body, however, I couldn't deny that it was worth it. It'd helped me keep my shit together. For about a month now I'd been ignoring Nora's call, avoiding any session with her just to focus on my fear. I didn't want to keep running away. Not like I could even if I tried so hard. Everything was supposed to end after getting rid of Ray. It was supposed to be. No! Another phase unlocked and now I had to be chasing after a ghost that w
“How long will it take to reach the clubhouse?” I asked him as I stretched forth my left hand to give the phone to him, he took it and returned it to his left pocket.“Thirty-five minutes on a high speed but you're not getting out of here. Carlos said I shouldn't bring you to the clubhouse no matter what.”“Didn’t you hear what he said on the phone call?”“Our Capo can't be easily hurt in his own house. Surely there'll be a bloodbath, but it won't be our blood.”I shook my head vigorously. I wasn't entirely satisfied. I didn't know who Artem Kirill was, but he was bad news–a cold bloody criminal like my brother. “Thanks for letting me know my death would skip a day. I'll be driving us,” I skipped a step close to the table, grabbed the car key, and headed out while ignoring Lenox’s nags.I didn't give a fuck anyway. Going there wasn't to save Carlos—not that he ever needed me, I'd always been the one getting into trouble. I was only curious about this man. Since Ray knew about Martell
“Goddamn it. Whatever. It's hopeless to fight it.” I mumbled underneath.My eyes were stinging; all I could see was a figure crashing on my couch around the corner in the room. I kept wondering how he could vividly read in the dark, whereas I was still struggling, trying to make out his face and figure.I tried so hard to budge but I'd been overcome by the numbness. I was breathing heavily and that made my chest ache. Terrified by his voice, his fearsome presence, an enigmatic aura radiating from him, yet I concealed my fear. Fear was a sign of weakness I'd learned to conceal.“It seems like this isn't the first time we're meeting,” I said unknowingly.“You’re right. This isn't the first time you've been overcome by terror. Good grief, I was hoping you'd survive the car crash. You surely have luck on your side, Little vermin. In the end, even death couldn't even save you from me.” He said calmly.Anxiety gnawed at me, I couldn't think of anything else. His words were like sharp knives
Carlos and I needed to talk.I waited for thirty minutes, hoping that cold son of a bitch would come downstairs and explain what puzzled me, but he left me to stew over our unfinished conversation. I was furious.“Take this medicine. It should alleviate the pain.” Rosetta extended a small white container from the first aid box.I opened the container. “How many pills?” I didn’t wait for an answer before taking out two pills and shoving them into my mouth. I crushed each pill with rage and swallowed hard.“Stop, Sia. One pill is enough—” She shouted, her voice tinged with concern.I didn’t care to respond. She ground her teeth, disappointment clear on her face, before rising to her feet.“I’m in so much pain. I need something to get rid of this awful sensation.”Rosetta, probably in her late forties, was like a mother to every man here. She always showed concern whenever anyone got hurt.“You’ll be fine.”Guilt washed over me like cold water as I thought about Pedro again. “Pedro died
“Fuck you!” I spat, my rage evident as I hit him right in the face.Pedro had warned me about Ray's ruthlessness, but I hadn’t expected him to be this ruthless. He should have taken me instead.Pedro was innocent, and now he was dead because of me. It was my fucking fault. Regret swirled through me, and the urge to cry was hard to suppress.Every ounce of revenge I craved felt like an impossible mission now that I was about to breathe my last breath. For once ever since I regained from a coma, I regretted not ever listening to him. Carlos was damn right. ‘You can't do anything when you're like this, Sia.’ So pathetic.One of his men stomped over when he saw what I did to their boss’s face, however, Ray gesticulated to him with the motion of his hand. “I thought you'd be happy to reunite with your friend.” I struggled with him but it was futile. He pulled my hair, making me groan. “That’s not a fucking reunion. You killed Pedro!” I clenched my jaw so hard that I felt the pain.A sly s
‘This place isn't for someone like you, Milaya. You'll lose your fucking mind if you go inside.’ The warning echoed ominously in my mind. I'd heard that statement many times from Pedro. Ten times tonight if I'd not lost counting, yet he couldn't kick me out of his Red House. Perhaps he was too afraid of what might happen if I reported him to my brother, Carlos. It wouldn't be a child’s play. Maybe he'd lose an eye or two for defying me. That would be a price to pay for defying the Mafia overlord's sister.My eyes scrutinized the fitting room, searching for his figure. There were many exhibitionists and strippers, both males and females in the room. Their bodies were barely covered with the leather lingerie they were wearing. If not because of the situation, I wouldn't have stepped a foot into the Red House knowing what being here would cost me—everything. This place was where you called hell. A sweet hunting ground. All dirty work was done at a place like this, mobsters, gangsters,
