Thomas Shelby imagines-a new chapter

42.Sacrifice

A story inspired by the sacrifice of a great woman in the Indian history...named PADMAAVATI.Her sacrifice is still remembered till this day

For all the Indian readers out there :)

For generations women have made sacrifices.We are known for our power to be sweet as an angel yet fierce as a goddess

But when she's in love,she knows she would never come in the hands of anyone else except him.

The Italian mafia was back,back with there guns pointed at the Shelby family,not just because of business but also that

Luca changretta.... Was brainwashed,by an old spy who told him that Tommy's wife was the most beautiful woman to ever exist,and that she's the key to his fortune and success

Immediately wooed by the spies words,Luca developed a Desire for her even without ever seeing her

And Tommy knew how madly Luca wanted her...but there was no way he was letting him have what was his

Luca was coming.That night the town was burning to its roots.People all clamouring and shouting.The peaky blinders all grabbing there guns in hurry

Tommy shouting at them to hurry up.Sweat dripping of his face as he told them to get the guns quick and run as the mafia was closer to the town

"Alright go on!Go fucking go!"he waved his hand in the air shouting at them.They all looked at Tommy one last time before leaving for a fight they didn't know if they would survive in

Tommy standing there breathlessly,rubbing his eyes with his hands,panicking from inside.Y/n approached from behind him softly,not to alarm him

"Tommy?"she spoke,he turned his head at her sound and shook his head walking to her

"Go back inside,go somewhere safe alright you can't be here?"he cupped her cheeks.Y/n looked into his eyes and he immediately knew she had something to say

"I know he's here for me"

Tommy went silent

"I know he wants me.But I won't let the people of my town die because of me.I won't let you die because of me"Tommy's lips parted in shock.His breathing shaky and panicked

"How-how can you say that?I won't let you go in his fucking arms!"

"Tommy"

"I'm not letting him have you alright! I'll fight and there is no fucking way I'm letting you go to him!"

"Tommy listen to me!"she stopped him and cupped his cheeks tightly with desperation and love and it was enough to shut him up

"Listen love!.......if you-die here tonight..there would be no reason left for me to live.I'll be empty and done with life tommy.And if that happens he'll get to me no matter what....and I can't let him.If you die...I die with you."

He was confused,shocked and he surely didn't want her to complete her sentence and speak what she had to say

"I have to sacrifice myself in the fire Tommy"

Oh how the ground was snatched from under him.He backed away from her a little staring into her tearful eyes with shock!

"No"he said shakily

"Tommy"

"NO!!FUCKING NO!!"he shouted.Y/n rushed to him and grabbed his face again and leaned her forehead on his to stop him
