The Mafia's Son III

Chapter Seventeen.

SURPRISE 🤗 Since some many of you practically begged me for the next chapter, here ya go my babies, your wish is my command. Unfortunately this one doesn't start where we left off, it goes back to when everything happened, explaining some bits and pieces in Cris's POV. I've never had to this before but this chapter will contain some TW, SA will be brought up so please, please, read with caution. It doesn't happen but it doesn't get talked about, like always happy reading babies 🩶

Roxwell's POV

I sit in the same damn chair that I've been sitting in for the past fourteen days.

I sit beside the same damn hospital bed, listening to the same damn equipment that I personally bought for this asshole- beep in rhythm as the heart monitor continues to do its job. 

Carmelo has been in a medically induced coma for the past fourteen days but has refused to wake up- even after we lifted the medicine that he was being drugged with.

I get up every morning praying to God that this man has fought his way through all the Xylazine he made me inject him with but every time that I come and check on him he's still asleep, still unconscious, still unresponsive.

I nervously shake my right leg up and down, amazed that our plan is actually working, still in shock that his son actually bought his death.

I'm not a man that has very much anxiety, not many things in this life makes me nervous, but watching Isaac step into that OR to check if his father was actually dead probably had to be the most nerve wracking moment of my life.

I knew nothing about Xylazine, I didn't even know how it worked, all I knew was that it was a sedative for animals and it was extremely dangerous to humans.

I tried doing as much research as I could on the drug the second Carmelo left my home, I for one didn't want to actually send this man to his real death.

The drug was known to apparently be a tranq in the streets and extremely hard to get your hands on it, so how the hell did this man have multiple syringes of it?

I spent hours trying to convince him to come up with another plan, injecting him with such a lethal sedative honestly made me really uncomfortable, but he shut me down everytime.

The drug was known to drop a person's blood pressure extremely low, dangerously low, while also slowing down their heartbeat and breathing to the point where it almost mirrors a flatline, and that's exactly what it did.

It completely immobilized him that I almost believed he was dead and began to panic.

I held the doctor back at gunpoint, shouting at him to hook him back up to the heart monitor, prove that he was still alive, that he was still breathing, and was instantly relieved when the very slow heartbeat began to beep but still could not shake the nervous feeling off and went back to Carmelo's master plan.

I instructed the doctor to unplug him again and move the machinery out of the way, to go break the news to his son that he hadn't survived the surgery.

He of course didn't want anything to do with our plan to begin with but Carmelo had literally planned for everything and gave me a file on the surgeon's family. I now had his wife and seventeen year old son as insurance, leverage.

Unfortunately Dr. Richards isn't allowed to go home free until Isaac is aware that his dad is still very much alive.

Very few people on my side know of Carmelo's plan and he intends on keeping it that way.

I could either take Dr. Richards out as soon as Carmelo comes to and is stable enough or I can keep him captive until everything's out in the open and let him live.
