Broken Constellation

Chapter 43

He's here.

Giovanni is sitting infront of me, a cocky smirk on his face.

"Do I get the prize money for turning myself in" I look up at him as he waits for me to greet him.

He looks displeased by my lack of respect for his presence.

Good.

He sits down, " Why did you ask for me?"

I take a deep breath, keeping my gaze steady. "I just missed you so much, and felt so bad for everything I just couldn't do it anymore"

Giovanni gives me a disgusted look almost as if he wants to slap me across the face

His eyes narrow, and he leans back, a hint of suspicion in his gaze. "You're wasting my time. Spit it out."

Giovanni's smirk returns, but there's a flicker of annoyance in his eyes. "You think you can bait me?"

"I'm not baiting you," I say, leaning back in my chair.

He stands up abruptly, knocking his chair back. "I've had enough of your games."

" you're the one who was looking for me, why did you want me?" my words are quick as I stay rooted in my seat.

"So I could kill you" He says it so bluntly and straight forward.

I laugh, "Good luck with that"

Before I can react, he grabs my arm, pulling me out of my seat. "Get out," he growls.

He's lucky this place isn't busy right now.

I look around to make sure no one's paying attention. 

I let him, not resisting as he pushes me outside. This is exactly what I wanted. So predictable.

As Giovanni's car pulls up, I force myself to stay calm. He shoves me into the passenger seat, and I bite back a smile. This is my chance.

He starts the car. "You think you can mess with me?" he snaps, glancing over at me.

He begins to speed down the road.

I stay silent as he speeds off, its been 20 minutes before we reach an empty road, I reach for the hidden gun in my boot.

Giovanni is too busy ranting about how insufferable I've made his life to notice. "You're going to regret this, you know Dion was always the better child so much moire complaint, I guess using you as an example really worked," he snarls.

I grip the knife tightly, waiting for the right moment. "No," I whisper.

"yes, really and he was always so scared of me, but little does he know all you endured to keep him safe, well just know all that went to waste when you were gone, he got into quite a few fights with me, but don't worry I never hurt your precious little brother" He continues and that's when I pull out the gun.

He laughs, "Oh darling you think if you kill me now you will leave, if you try anything funny we both go down" 

I smile at him, "Lucky for you I don't mind dying if it means I get to torment you in hell"

 He speeds up again and keeps his eyes on the road.

I don't say anything else.

"Speechless now are we, you know I always wanted to see the reaction on your face when I told you, that you killed your own mother" He snarls and breaks the car, causing my body to jolt forward with the motion.

"What" I whisper the sound barely coming out.

I feel a pit forming in my stomach and my heart drops. My face drops and my mind empties all thoughts, obstructed by a fog that i can't move past. My body starts to heat up and i feel myself visibly tense.
