Chapter 4

I do not suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.

"Why not just kill her?" Mason, my right hand questioned as I made a drink for myself.

His question was straight and logical but what he didn't knew was that my sister is coming to meet his brother today. And, I don't want to be covered in blood when my sister will see me.

Taking a sip of the drink that burned my throat and inside as it drowned deeper. "Aleeza is coming." I answered his questions and he shut his mouth in understanding.

"But what did she do?" Rowan asked, more like demanded.

"She witnessed a murder." I told him and took another sip of my drink. Rowan kept staring at me for more explanation and I wanted to flip him off but decided otherwise. I don't want tk be in a sour mood when Aleeza arrives. "I committed." I added for him.

"Done," Lucas said when he returned from locking the woman with big violet eyes. I've never seen eyes like hers. Those black hairs of her made her violet eyes stand out. She looked nothing more than 5'5 but ran pretty faster for her little legs, last night.

Guess the fear for life pushes you past your limits.

"The boy you killed last night," Mason started and stopped waiting for my attention I nodded looking at him, "He was her classmate." He finished.

"Makes sense." I muttered chucking the rest of the liquid down my throat and the liquor made sure to tell me how it went down sith the burning sensation it created inside my body.

"The man you were using as a toy," Mason said referring to the snitch who betrayed us a few months ago during a gang war. His betrayal costed us the life of three of my men.

Since, then I started playing with him since he is so fond of playing the don himself, I thought it is my duty to keep my, once used to be trusted, man entertained.

I guess he didn't really enjoyed my company since he isn't available to play anymore. "Cause of death?" I asked him taking the gun out of my waist band.

"Probably the blood that you drained out of him on daily basis through little cuts? Or, was it the way you peeled his skin off with a knife?" Mason said, sarcastically. He hates it when he has to do all this paperwork shit. He likes to be involved physically in the matters.

"I am sure it was just a heart attack, Mason." I said and a dark low chuckle escaped his lips as he agreed with my statement.

How are they going to make a skin-less dead body look like a result of heart attack? They'll probably throw it in the forest and pay their generosity to the birds and animals of that dark forest.

"Where is that Waldo? " The cheerful voice of my little sister reached my ears and I immediately threw the gun to Lucas who was quick to tuck it in his waistband under his shirt.

"Here, sorellina." I called and soon enough she was standing in front of me with her brows furrowed and arms crossed against her chest.

"Where were you?" She demanded the answers trying to sound threatening when all she sounded like was an adorable baby.

It's been almost a month since I last saw her. She lives with my parents in the mansion next to the penthouse of our oldest brother. She basically lives on her own since our parents are mostly out on some vacations.

"I've been busy." I answered scratching the back of my neck with a guilty smile playing on my lips.

She rolled her eyes and moved further wrapping her arm around my torso and I hugged her back, immediately.

Aleeza is a person who hugs almost everyone she sees. Seems like she never understood or figured out how handshake works. Even better, how the art of ignorance works.

"Now, I'll stay for next one week." She announced breaking the hug and beaming at my three guys standing behind her.

"Give me a hug, big boys." She told to all of them and the three of them gathered around her suppressing her in a gentle, loving hug.

"Is everything okay?" I asked to make sure that she is here just for a visit and not because she is bothered by some issue.

"Yeah, mom and dad went on a vacation for next month so I decided to visit you to remind you about your sister." She answered and a smile tugged on my lips as I nodded at her confident explanation, hinting everything is just like she mentioned.

Jogging in the mansion she headed upstairs to the room beside mine which is only reserved for her, for whenever she decides to stay overnight.

"Deal with the body of David." I said referring to the rat who died last night and is still laid in my basement. Mason nodded.

"What about the girl?" Lucas queried and I moved a lazy hand on my jaw line thinking about my sister upstairs and the girl in the basement.

"I guess, the girl in the basement got lucky." Rowan commented before I could ponder on my thoughts and finding no other choice than ignoring her for a week, I nodded after his statement.

Guess, the little cat got lucky.
