The Mafia Game Vincenzo AU

Chapter 24

"Vincenzo?" I blurted on the verge of death. I prepared myself for death, mere inches away from the excruciating machine. Squinting my eyes closed, I said the last of my prayers. That was it. I was going to die again. I wasn't even here that long.

. . .

Nothing happened, as I waited a few more seconds, I finally saw it safe to open me eyes. Which I did. I was stopped midpoint, 3 inches away from the machine. The loud grinding of the metal echoed through the room, and Hanseok didn't even add my body to it. Out of fear, I rested both my hands at the sides of the shredder, incase he was teasing me. Basically so I could struggle off with it. I didn't want to die hopelessly, in all honesty, I wanted to die knowing I did everything I could to prevent this death. Unlike the first time I died in that sorrowful car accident.

"Han...seok?" I fearfully questioned to which he kicked the machine off.

"Vincenzo? Why did you say.... "Vincenzo" on the brink of death?" He questioned furrowing his brows.

If I thought back to why I said Vincenzo, or why the options may of chosen it, Hanseok's voice rang in my head. "Look how much of a naive girl you are, I'll just have to put you out of your misery." It was similar to what Vincenzo had also told me when he stated, "Choosing the wrong choice will show how much of a naive girl you are, I'll just have to put you out of your misery." The irony of the awfully similar statements by these two wicked men caused a shiver down my spine.

"V-vincenzo said the same." I spoke in sorrow, which was honestly the truth yet different in circumstances.

"What?" He questioned, a hint of worry was glazed in his eyes.

And how a seed had planted in my head and a lie suddenly escaped my mouth flawlessly, probably would just save my life. "Vincenzo.... he... he threatened kill me.... when you entered the building and he had me on gun-p-point," I let out a long sob to which Hanseok responded with a hug of comfort. "He tried t-to make a deal, because I was innocent and I had never killed anyone. So he didn't want to harm me, and wouldn't do it if I joined his side." My voice turned slightly muffled as I dug my face in his chest.

"I said no, and he threatened saying something similar to what you said. He said he'll kill me when he'll kill you!"

Hanseok placed a hand on my head as he slide his hand cross my head numerous times, in a soothing like manner.

"That's why I went there. I was too busy mourning over my families death to realise I needed to give him an answer." I lied.

Hanseok had finally spoken. "That Vincenzo.... to hurt what's mine.... how dare he?" He spoke as murder echoed in his voice.

"That Vincenzo will pay." Hanseok yelled, i was quite taken aback by it tho. Usually hes sophisticated and quite chilled back, if hes angry... hell ask it with happiness... and kill the person. I smiled in his chest as he ranted about Vincenzo, I had survived. I managed.

Yet all of a sudden, Hanseok's gaze shifted to me, his gaze softened again. This man really was quite bipolar. "I'm so sorry sweetie, I should have trusted you, I love you." He apologised. A look of sympathy gushed through his face.

"I know you do."
