Mafia Kingpin: A Dark, Thrilling Organized Crime Romance

"I can't believe it... After everything we've been through. You were going to kill me?!" Thomas roared. "You bastard!"

He kicked me again, right in the crotch, one time, two times, three times... to the point I was wailing and I couldn't hold back my sobs anymore.

"P – please s – stop..." I begged, rocking back and forth as he continued to beat me. "I'm s – sorry... I d – didn't mean to... I h – had orders..."

I could barely compose a sentence because by now, I was coughing out blood.

He scoffed. "You're a fucking traitor. It's nothing more than you deserve. You're a dirty little bastard and your family will face the consequences of what you did. I'll never forget how you betrayed me."

There was a brief moment of regret on his face, but it was short-lived. He flipped me around, punching me again, before bringing the knife out in front of his face. I was shaking. This was the end. I was going to die.

At least I would join Ellie.

But did a better place exist for a bastard like me? Did a better place exist, for scum like me? Who betrayed their own friends?

Oh Father, forgive me... For I have sinned.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Forgive me, Lord...

Thomas pierced the knife into my flesh, cutting deep inside me. I began to scream. It was then that the sirens started.

As I started losing consciousness I noticed a girl in the background, watching me. She had a look of pure horror on her face.

"Please ... help me," I tried to speak, but it just came out as a mumble. My eyes began to close, and blood was gushing out of my mouth.

I collapsed, as I began to bleed out. My vision went blurry, as I could feel the wind knock out of my lungs...

And then,

Everything went black.

Complete darkness...

And I never saw that girl again.
