Chapter 1: Witness to the Crime
The stifling darkness of the alleyway enveloped me as I stumbled upon the unthinkable. A chilling scene played out before my eyes - Vincent Russo, the notorious mafia boss, stood over a fallen man, his hands dripping with blood. My heart pounded in my chest, and a guttural scream tore through the air. "No, please, no!" The words escaped me in a torrent of fear.
Vincent's menacing gaze landed on me, his eyes alight with fury. "Grab her," he barked at his men.
Panic surged through me as rough hands clamped around my arms, pulling me into an inescapable hold. "Let me go! Let me go!" I pleaded, but my words fell on deaf ears. The darkness seemed to swallow me whole as I realized the grave danger I was in.
Vincent's looming figure advanced towards me, his predatory intent palpable. "You shouldn't have seen that, sweetheart," he sneered, his voice like a chilling whisper.
Terror coursed through me, rendering me powerless in his grasp. The screams had subsided, leaving me trembling in the claustrophobic grip of my captors, my fate now entwined with the ruthless mafia boss and his deadly secrets.
