Arabella's POV:
"Ahhhhh" I screamed as tears ran down my face.
My father was hitting me... again. It felt like hours until he stopped. I was in so much pain. I wanted it to stop, but I knew that was never going to happen.
"Get off your lazy ass and do something wh*re!!" My father yells almost bursting my eardrum. Before he can hit me again I scramble to my feet and sprint to my room locking the door behind me as I slide down onto my butt with my knees to my chest. I feel a single tear run down my cheek. When is this going to end..?
My father who's a drunk is always out with some girl gambling and drinking. He then comes home and hits me. Practically until I'm unconscious. I can't take it anymore. I want to leave this house and build a life. Escape from this horror. I know that will never happen knowing I'm practically broke and I have nowhere else to go.
I work at a club a few minutes away from here to make some money but still isn't enough to get my own place. I can at least get away from here when I work. When getting up, I accidentally knock into a bookshelf, "Sh*t" I said breathing heavily. "Sorry Father, I...I'm going to be late for work if I don't leave now" I mumble, terrified not knowing what he was gonna do. "Fine but hurry up I don't want you to be here when my girl comes over!" He yells back.
Why was this man always yelling? I leave out the back door quietly, scared to upset my father even more. Anddd... my phone is dead! How wonderful. I can't call an Uber because of.. well you know. Looks like I'm walking to work today.
God I can't keep living like this.
Xavier's POV:
"WHERE THE F*CK IS MY MONEY LIAM!?!?" I yell fuming with anger.
"I...I can get it, sir, just give me another month". He stutters. Who does this f*cker think he's messing with? "I specifically gave you 5 full months for you to pay me back for the shipment of cocaine I gave you. Why should I give you more time than that?!" I said gritting my teeth. "Because I'm an asset to your mafia and I'm just helping you get money, what's the big deal". He blurts out with confidence. But that confidence quickly passes. "That's it," I say, losing all my patience. I turn around and grab my sharpest knife. I slowly raise it to his neck threatening him. He gulps with fear. I smirk. God, I love it when people fear me.
"I'm going to ask you one more time." I pause taking an irritated exhale. "Where. is. the. money.?" He stays silent. F*ck this.
I take the knife and run it across his lower abdomen, pressing firmly. Blood starts to spew. I then take a swig of my strongest whiskey and proceed to pour it onto the gash I made while watching him scream in agony. Music to my ears!!
This is what happens when you mess with Xavier Lombardi.
"If you don't pay me back when I tell you to next time, I'll gut you like a fish" I spit. Then I turn and nod, signaling the guards to free his shackles and clean up the mess.
Tonight I am going to go to a new club that I just opened. Sam, the manager, hired a girl and I want to meet her.
