Mafia Kingpin: A Dark, Thrilling Organized Crime Romance

188

I found myself screaming again as I slowly began to zone back into reality.

As reality began punching me in the face.

As the reality of Steve's words started to hit me...

This was the end of the road.

He was going to kill me...

I was sure of it.

Everything that I had with Matthew had been a lie.

It was like an endless game of chess and pawns.

I couldn't win in life.

I would never have a chance to be truly happy.

All these years I'd spent with Matthew...

All the dates we'd been on together.

The romantic drives, the cute restaurants, the drinks at the bar.

All my feelings...

Had been a lie.

Being dead would be better than living a life like this.

I had nothing left to live for.

Nothing left in life to look forward to.

No glimmer of hope left in my miserable life.

But deep down, I knew...

I knew that I couldn't let him win.

I couldn't let this bastard get the better of me.

I couldn't keep giving him the satisfaction that he owned me...

That he could do whatever he pleased with me.

That I was nothing without him.

I couldn't die at the mercy of his hands...

I couldn't allow this bastard to have what he wanted yet again...

I couldn't keep allowing him to hold a chokehold over my life...

So I found myself begging him to spare me my life.

"Please Steve, please don't hurt me..." I cried out desperately, as he stared at me, stricken with thunder, his blood boiling to the point it almost dried up.

"Please! I just wanted to be happy. I haven't been right since Louis got sent to prison..." I sobbed, collapsing onto the floor, rocking back and forth as I screamed. "I've been so alone! Please, I beg of you, don't hurt me!"

A blood-curdling scream leapt out of Steve's mouth, as I felt the heat roaring to my ears. This was the end...

I was sure of it.

Forgive me Heavenly Father...

For I have sinned.

"You went against me and you will be punished!" Steve screamed. "I can't even fucking look at you right now!"
