Guns and Numbers

chapter 25

Continuation

As much as Matteo didn’t like the idea of having children, Mike was his favourite child. He groomed him into his heir. He gave him everything. And knowing that his favourite child will die anytime is going to be hard on him.
Celeste held Matteo’s hand and pulled him up and that’s when I realised that he wasn’t chained like the rest.
“he wasn’t chained all this time?” I asked bewildered and it seems like Matteo was shocked as well.
“yes. Fear is a great thing isn’t it?” Celeste smiled.
He dragged Matteo towards the spot that had the operating table which had Mike strapped to it. He was still thrashing around trying to get out of the straps but all he was doing was just bruise and hurt himself. Idiot.
“hello Mike. How are you doing?” Celeste asked as he walked towards Mike.
“you fucking bastard!!” mike spat. Literally.
“name calling is not nice.” Celeste said as he got a scalpel and cut Mike’s shirt off.
“you fucking psycho! What the fuck are you doing?!” he yelled.
“well, organs are a huge money maker on the black market so I will have to harvest them and then well sell them off. make a quick buck and get myself a car or something.” Celeste said.
“no. no. no” Mike shook his head and later grunted in pain when Celeste started to cut across his stomach.
“don’t you need gloves?” I asked.
“nah I love the feel of blood. So warm.” He said as he put the scalpel on the table next to him. He opened a cooler box.
“I heard that the small intestines go up to 2 meters. I just have to test that theory.” He said.
“you are sick” Matteo said. He was held down by two big men and he was forced to watch.
Celeste dug his hand inside and Mike started to yell out in agony. I can barely imagine the pain he is feeling at the moment.
“before the anaesthesia was invented, people had to be operated like this. They always died from the excruciating pain. Thank heavens for technology.” Celeste said.
There was so much blood and I know he wasn’t aware of what he was even doing because of the bloody mess.
I looked away and I could see Matteo trying hard not to look but he couldn’t help it. Mike’s screams were getting to him and his eyes were glistening.
“inject him.” He told the man next to the table. The man complied and injected Mike with the drug.
“leave him please.” Matteo said with a shaky voice.
Celeste brought his hands out and he carried a body organ.
“seems like I got the liver first.” He said and put it in the cooler box.
You could see the life draining out of Mike’s eyes and it was very unfortunate that he was staring right at his father. That’s something nightmares are made of.
Celeste had blood all over his hands that looked like red gloves.
“he is dead sir.” The man said.
“finish up. Contact Diaz to come get the organs.” Celeste said.
“yes sir.” He said.
Matteo looked broken. A lone tear slid down his face. He looked defeated but sadly Celeste wasn’t done.
“I have to rush so what I planned wont happen” Celeste said as he signalled his men that were holding Matteo to make him stand.
“how can you watch him do this to your family?” Matteo asked.
“the same way you guys watched when I was going through the shit I went through. Plus you made it pretty clear that we are not family.” I said.
“plus she has to know what her man is capable of.” Celeste said and he smiled at me.
Celeste got an axe and he weighed it in his hands. Matteo looked terrified.
“w-w-w-what do you want to do with that?” he asked.
Am curious too.
“that’s for me to know and for you to feel it.” Celeste said with a big grin on his face.
“you look like an axe murderer” I said.
He winked at me. He stalked towards Matteo and he swung the axe. The scream that echoed the vault was nothing compared to all the screams that were heard in here. Celeste had successfully lodged the axed into Matteo’s mid back. He collapsed and Celeste removed the axe and swung again.
“get him out of this place.” He said.
“yes sir.” The guys said simultaneously.
They dragged his body out of the vault and I silently watched. I was thinking of Celeste’s statement. It clearly shows that he is not over the whole incident and I am not even sure of what he is planning.
The fact that he hasn’t even said he loves me back had me thinking if he actually does. Maybe I was reading everything so wrong. Maybe he just likes me and the stunt I pulled made him to stop.
“babe, lets get a shower and go on our date. Its going to be a fun night.” He said.
I nodded and followed him. He was bloody and he still managed to look sexy.  I mentally shook my head. This is not the time to be thinking of such things.
With the way he has been tonight I wouldn’t be surprised that he decapitated me.
He led me to the elevator which I didn’t know was there because it was very well hidden.
“penthouse.” He said.
The elevator came to life and it moved upwards.
“don’t you think a person can impersonate you?” I asked.
“they can but they cant impersonate my move, fingerprint and retina.” He said.
“you are very big on security.” I said.
“lack of security is what makes the idiots get jailed in the first place.” He said. We got out of the elevator.
The penthouse was open plan. There was a faux fire table in the middle with lush couches surrounding it and a huge tv screen. The other side had a small kitchen with a breakfast bar, a real bar and a glass wall that showed the bedroom. The room had a huge bed and it had a few racks of clothes and a shoe rack. Further down there was a shower cubicle, toilet and a craw foot bathtub.
The suite was very beautiful and very masculine with the white, grey and black décor.
“this place is beautiful.” I said.
“thanks.” He said as he started stripping as he walked towards the bath side. He threw his t-shirt and jeans in the hamper and he removed his boxer briefs and dropped them into the hamper as well.
“come on.’ He said.
I was totally drooling. I walked towards him and stripped off my clothes as well. He was already in the shower and the water was doing a great job rinsing off the blood. I entered the cubicle and I realised that it was spacious.
He turned around and looked at me. His eyes held lust and an emotion that was hard to decipher. I could feel my cheeks heating up.
“one day, I will have to kill you if you ever do something that betrays my trust.” He said.
I was speechless.
I just stared at him.
He leaned down and kissed me. It was possessive and full of lust. He grabbed my ass and he gave it a squeeze then he smacked it hard. I gasped and he slipped his tongue inside. His tongue was so sensual that the feeling made me wet and feel like he was making love to my mouth.
He stopped and placed a chaste kiss on my lips, I was still dazed.
“come on. We will be late.” He said.
I was horny. I wanted his dick like now. How can he just continue showering like he didn’t just turn me on.
He cleaned himself up and he didn’t pay me any attention anymore. I had to quietly sulk and just shower.
