Hating The Mafia King

2: Turning The Pages

~ Ten years later

My life is completely transformed.

I am no longer Delilah. I'm Rachel Green, the nonchalant, jobless girl everyone thinks is obsessed with Richard Maranzano because I have been living my life with curiosities about his life. It is nerve-wracking how close yet far away I am from him. I know every single detail about his life - what he does, what he eats, what he wears, who he's with. Every single detail is stored is kept in my brain.

I live to seek revenge on Richard Maranzano; the teenage boy that cared less about my mother. He is the same person that pierced my heart ten years ago and that is exactly what I am hoping I'd do to his heart. Although I will make sure that he burns more than I did.

I spend my day doing nothing but searching and looking at paparazzi's everyday, everywhere photos of the Maranzano family. It's really great how famous the Maranzino family are, I get to know and learn a lot about them without stepping out of my control zone. As a matter of fact, that is exactly what I am doing right now. I am sitting with my laptop on my thighs, sipping on a steaming cup of black coffee. My browser is filled with tabs about Richard Maranzano, and I can't help but dive deeper into his so-called pathetic fake life. It's become a regular routine for me, scrolling through articles and soaking up every detail while burning my tongue with the hottest black coffee ever.

I hate Richard Maranzano with a passion. I wish I could just strangle him to death but I know that it won't be enough. He deserves worse than that.... He deserves to suffer and rot in hell.

It's been a whole ten years since that incident, and I've been painstakingly strategizing every step. I'm determined to create a flawless plan, making sure not to make a single mistake. The Maranzano family is known for their intelligence, so I have to be twice as clever to outsmart them and bring their life crashing down. I don't care how long this takes, all I know is that I will make sure that I take my revenge and give my mom the closure she deserves.

As I stumbled upon a photo of Richard Maranzano, I couldn't help but roll my eyes in frustration. Why is this guy more famous for his looks? I personally don't find him handsome at all. To me, he's just like a cucumber that needs to be peeled, so everyone can see how rotten and disgusting he is on the inside. Richard Maranzano is nothing more than a fake,  he's definitely not as nice as he pretends to be. And certainly he is not an ordinary billionaire everyone thinks he is. He is a part of a Mafia gang and I know that because I was once there too.

Trust me, he is hiding under so many skin and I am the only one that sees right through him! I know what he does; he ruins families and burns down houses. That's exactly what he did to me, he burned my house making sure that I couldn't come back even if I wanted.

Richard Maranzano is a devil... a devil in disguise

As I scroll past his photos, I take a sip of coffee, relishing the way it burns down my throat. "Ugh," I can't help but groan at the sound of Rebecca arguing with her boyfriend again. It feels like she's constantly in this cycle of arguments and breakups with him.

Honestly, even I'm exhausted by their relationship. It's high time they take a real break from each other.

Sighing, I grab my earpiece and pop it in my ears, ready to block out any distractions. Right now, I'm laser-focused on Richard Maranzano and his family. Sometimes, I find myself wishing I had the means to hire a private investigator to gather more information about Richard Maranzano and his illegal activities. I am most interested in that because I know that it's one of the things that can get him at a loss easily.
