It’s Lucas
Still Damien’s POV
“You have no idea what you have done, have you?
You put my family in danger, you put your daughter in danger when you decided to betray me and join forces with that bastard!” I yelled out in frustration when he kept denying that he has nothing to do with Alfredo Black. He continued begging and pleading for his life, and that got me even more pissed because it seems like he is stalling, it seems like he is just wasting my time and time is something that I don’t have. I have been playing nice with him for over thirty minutes, I was hoping that if I can get him to feel remorse for his actions then he would tell me what I needed to know, but he isn’t budging. He is bent on sticking to his story, lying to my face.
I didn’t want to torture him further, I’ve pulled out all his toenails and I was hoping that I wouldn’t have to start clipping his toes as well, but he isn’t ready to talk yet, he is still trying to be tough. He leaves me no other choice, I’m going to have to torture him so more. Yes, Sofia would hate me for this, but she has to come to terms with it. She would be grateful that I restrained myself from killing him slowly and painfully. She would have to forgive me sooner or later, after all, I was only trying to save her and my family. With time, she will come to realize that I would do anything to protect her and my family. I would challenge even the devil himself, as long as I get what I want, as long as I get to keep her and my family safe.
“Guess what I have here, Blake,” I let out sarcastically as I picked another scissor and walked back to where he stood hanging on the fan, smiling evilly at him.
“Please Damien, I didn’t do anything, I know nothing about Alfredo Black, I swear it, man.” He responded weakly, trying to appeal to my sympathetic heart. If only he knows that I don’t even have a heart, I am a heartless, ruthless, fearless Mafia Lord and Alpha. I don’t have the luxury of having a heart.
“Wrong answer, Blame. But I’ll let it pass this time, I’ll tell you what it is because I want you to anticipate the pain, I want you to know exactly what you are bargaining for.
This is a scissors, just like every other scissors, but there is a difference between this scissors and the scissors I used earlier to pull out your toenails. The difference is that this scissor is a blunt scissors. Yes, I know it’s just a slight and insignificant difference, but I want to clarify that fact to you.
You see, cutting someone or something with a sharp scissors or blades is very effective because it leaves a clean cut. It goes right through and it cuts instantly, leaving less mess. But cutting with a blunt blade or scissors is very messy and so ineffective. A blunt scissors or blade doesn’t go through quickly, you have to add a lot of pressure to make a blunt scissors or blade to cut through someone or something. Just imagine me cutting off your toes with a blunt scissors, it is going to be so damn messy. First, it would squash your skin as it tries to penetrate into your body, then it would squash your bones as well, and finally, it would clip off your toes, leaving a squishy mess in its wake. To make it even more interesting, I’m going to use this particular blunt scissors that is also rusted. I won’t only clip off your nails and leave a mess, but I would also leave an infection that would force you to cut off your legs in a few days.
How does that sound?” I asked him with a smirk, enjoying the horrific look on his face.
“You are a monster, Damien. A monster!” he yelled in fear as he keep looking at me as if I were the devil himself.
“I’m going to ask you one more time Blake, trust me, I won’t repeat this question again. Where is Alfredo Black, where the fuck is he?” I spat out in disgust as I brought the scissors forward and held it to his big toe, applying pressure slowly with my eyes looking up at him. His eyes were shut firmly as he anticipated the pain. It seems he is ready to take the pain rather than telling me what I want to know. It was so fucking annoying and I was prepared to cause him more pain than he can ever imagine. I applied more pressure and he screamed out in pain, sobbing hysterically. I was just about to squash the skin of his big toe, but something unexpected happened.
We heard a gunshot, it was aimed at me, but I moved away just in time and the bullet went into Blakes’s leg, making him scream even louder. I ran for cover, my boys did the same and they pushed Mrs. Blake out of the way so she doesn’t get shot. Blake was still hanging on the ceiling fan, and he is bleeding more than before. If he continues bleeding this way, he could pass out because he is losing too much blood. Another bullet was fired, and this time, it was aimed higher than the first, and it shot at the rope that we used in tying Bake to the fan. He fell on his face, shrieking in pain as he hit the floor. One of my boys pulled him out of the line of fire so he doesn’t get hit again.
“Keep your eyes on him, don’t let him get away.” I instructed my boys fiercely. I’m sure these guys were sent here by Alfredo Black. They must have come to set him lose and save him from me. But I’m not giving up so soon, Nah, I’m not letting him off so easy. It’s a good thing that we came prepared. We returned fire immediately, we shoot back at the other team, the Blacks team. But they were too many and they were hiding pretty well, so we couldn’t see them and we couldn’t aim well.
“Tell me, Capo, how does it feel to be stupid?” someone asked me from the other team, making me pause as I recognize the voice. I signaled my boys, telling them to cease fire. I want to confirm who the intruder is I want to know who I’m talking to. But he is hiding behind his boys, no, these are not his boys. I recognize a few of these guys and I know that they are Alfredo Blacks boys. They were fully equipped for this war, they have been working for him for a very long time now, but they were all disbanded and stripped of their powers and resources. I got rid of them when I defeated Black and they have been trying to get back at me after I stopped all their operations in this city. I don’t know if they are still working with Alfredo Black, but I’m pretty sure that they are in support of this other guy that is hiding behind the wall.
“If you have something to say to me, why don’t you come out and say it already. Or are you going to hide behind your thugs forever?” I teased him, trying to get him to come out of hiding.
“Oh, No, Damien. I’m not hiding behind these guys, I simply do not want to kill you because I still need you alive, at least for now. I’m not a coward, Damien. I don’t hide behind anyone, I didn’t build a big fence to shield my family and I from danger because I can protect them all. How about you, Damien?
Can you honestly say the same thing about yourself?
Tell me, man, why are you living in seclusion, what the hell are you hiding?” He teased me back, making me groan in anger as I realized that he has been to our territory, he knows where I live. Now I know why Stacy has been sneaking out of the pack’s territory, now I know why she is so confident and fearless. I had my suspicions, but I’m only confirming it now. I knew she had a backup plan, and now I know what her plans are. She betrayed her people, she sold us out to the humans and she led them straight to our doorstep. This guy must have been close enough to see our walls, why didn’t I see him, how could I have missed this?
There are motion sensors around our perimeter that are supposed to alert us if there is a breach. Except Stacy had found a way to turn it off, and this could only mean that she is way smarter than I had ever imagined. Something tells me that she has bigger plans, her end game must have changed since I rejected her advances and brought in Sofia as my mate. She wanted to be Luna, she wanted a higher status in the pack and she made it clear to me that she would never back down until she gets what she wants. But that cannot be her end game, she wouldn’t be destroying the pack if she still wanted to be the Luna, would she?
Or maybe she is too stupid to see the damages she is causing to our people. For crying out loud, her family lives there as well. If this guy knows our secret, there is no say what he would do about it, he could expose us to the public and our homes would be invaded by the government. My family, my friends, and everyone we have known would be scrutinized and analyzed like lab rats. Is that what she wants, would they make her happy?
“Show your fucking face, you bastard!” I yelled angrily as I fired a few shots in his direction, aiming for him. The bullets hit the wall and landed on the floor, making him laugh at my obvious frustration.
“I wonder how angry you will be when I finally uncover every secret about you. I would destroy you, Damien, I will take away everything you hold dear and I will make sure you grovel and beg for mercy, but you won’t get any, not from me or anyone else. I show you what it feels like for everyone to be taken away from you, I’ll make you pay.” He let out fiercely, shocking me once more with his outburst. He sounded so bitter, and from his words, it is easy to tell that he knows me, but I still don’t know him. I have no idea who he could be, none whatsoever. If I can find out who he is, then I would know why he is so pissed off at me, but I just can’t place that voice no matter how hard I try to, I simply can’t. I was still trying to figure out who he is when I heard Sofia’s mom call out to him,
“Lucas?” She let out in a whisper, making me squint my eyes in surprise as I realized what she is talking about.
“Lucas…
Son, is that you?” she called out again, trying to stand up and go to him. But she was held back by my boys because we still don’t know if her guess is right. Although I’m betting my money that she is right, he hasn’t responded to her question, so I’m guessing that he knows that he has been caught already. His identity has been established and he knows that there is no need for him to try and hide it anymore. Now that she mentioned it, I think I’m bringing to recall a few things as well. Lucas has always been fierce and violent. If my memory serves me right, he tried to fight me the day I came here to demand my debt from his father. That was the day that I perceived Sofia’s scent from the maid’s clothes. He tried to defend his family, he accused me of being the sole cause of their problems and he tried to fight me. But he couldn’t lay a finger on me because he was beaten up pretty badly. My boys beat him up and forced him to accept his fate and submit to my rules
Now it all makes sense, he was there all along. I remember leaving that house in anger when I found out that Sofia was not there and I ordered her father to bring her back before the next day. I never saw him as a threat, I had no fucking idea that he could go the extra mile to fight for his family. I thought he was going to stay down because there was nothing he could do to me, he never stood a chance against me and I ignored him completely because I never thought he could do anything. But I was wrong, I underestimated him and he proved to be a bigger threat than I had ever imagined.
While I was busy celebrating with my family and friend, while I was bragging to everyone and telling them that my mate, our Luna would be coming home soon, I did not see the signs of his upcoming rebellion. He made arrangements before I arrived and he had me followed without my knowledge. I was too lost in the moment, I only wanted to get Sofia to trust me, I wanted to get her to feel safe and secure around me. I did not anticipate anything like this, I never thought that he could try to take me down on his own. He looks so young and innocent, you would not imagine that he could cause so much harm to me and my family.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
“You fucking idiot!” I screamed in anger as I stood up and walked towards him, ignoring his boys who kept pointing their guns at me. Don’t get wrong, I’m still pissed off at him, but that is all. I ain’t scared of this kid, he isn’t going to kill me, he doesn’t have the balls to pull that trigger. Besides, he said that he still needs me alive. I’m guessing that is an order from Alfredo Black. He would never let this kid kill me, if this kid kills me and take the credit for my death, it means that he would have to forfeit the title of Mafia Lord to him and that is a risk that he would never be willing to take. He has waited for many years to get rid of me and take this title from me, now that he has the chance to take my life, he would never let this kid to do it for him. The fact that he is the only son of Blake gives him a stronger claim to the title of Mafia Lord. If he tops it up by taking my life, then he would have the title with ease because he would be supported by the council.
“You stupid fool!
You have no fucking idea what you have gotten into. Because of your stupidity, your sister is lying unconsciously in a hospital bed. She was put on that bed by the stupid mole that has been feeding you information about me. How could you be so stupid and selfish?” I yelled in anger when I got to him. His boys tried to fight me off but I went all out on them, punching and kicking anyone that stands in my way. I took down a few guys before I got to him and I wrapped my hand around his neck, holding him up against the wall as I glared furiously at him.
“I could snap your neck and end your pathetic life. How dare you challenge me!” I screamed in anger.
