SOMEBODY

CHAPTER-2 OVERDOSE

10 Years Later,

Antonio now ruled over his illicit empire with a firm hand, seamlessly stepping into the shoes left behind by his father. However, unlike his predecessor, Antonio's ambitions knew no bounds. He delved into the dark underworld of sex trafficking, complementing the family's existing ventures in organ smuggling. Power became his addiction, driving him to new heights of ruthlessness and depravity.

His daily routine was meticulously structured, a blend of productivity and debauchery. Mornings commenced with a steaming cup of coffee at 7 am, setting the tone for the day ahead. By 10 am, he was ensconced in the opulent confines of his family's casino, orchestrating deals and exerting his influence over the criminal underworld.

Yet, as the sun dipped below the horizon and darkness descended upon the city, Antonio's true nature emerged. At precisely 8 pm, he shed the facade of a respectable businessman, transforming into a predator cloaked in the guise of wealth and privilege. With chilling efficiency, he selected his prey—a model or a high-priced prostitute—plucked from the ranks of the city's elite.

Returning to the confines of his lavish home, Antonio indulged in the vices that consumed him. A snort of cocaine fueled his descent into depravity as he violated his victims, their cries drowned out by the relentless pulse of his insatiable lust.

Antonio had morphed from a promising young man into a predatory monster, consumed by madness and driven by his twisted desires. No longer bound by morality or compassion, he took pleasure in the suffering of others, relishing the power he wielded over their lives.

One fateful day, his attention was drawn to a 30-year-old woman—a single mother struggling to make ends meet as a waitress in a modest restaurant. Entranced by her beauty and allure, Antonio approached her with an offer of wealth and luxury in exchange for a night of passion. But when she refused his advances, his veneer of civility shattered, revealing the depraved depths of his psyche.

In a fit of rage, Antonio stalked the woman to her humble apartment, his henchmen in tow, armed to the teeth. There, he confronted her with a chilling ultimatum: submit to him or watch as her innocent son paid the ultimate price.

Terrified and powerless, the woman acquiesced to Antonio's demands, her cries echoing through the walls of her home as he violated her body. Meanwhile, her young son remained bound and helpless, forced to bear witness to his mother's torment—a silent testament to the monstrous depths of Antonio's descent into darkness.

Emerging from the apartment, Antonio adjusted his disheveled attire, nonchalantly tucking his shirt back into his pants and draping his blazer over his shoulder. With a cold, detached demeanor, he issued a callous command to his men—eliminate both mother and son.

Without hesitation, his henchmen carried out his orders with ruthless efficiency. The helpless child, bound to a chair, met his untimely end first, the silence shattered by the sound of a single gunshot. Then, with grim determination, they turned their attention to the violated mother, her unconscious form lying motionless on the bed, her frail body barely concealed by a thin blanket.

In the wake of their merciless actions, the apartment fell eerily silent, the echoes of violence hanging heavy in the air. Antonio's heart remained untouched by remorse as he surveyed the aftermath of his depravity, a chilling reminder of the depths to which he had sunk.

Antonio lounged in his opulent Rolls Royce, casually retrieving a small pouch of cocaine from his pocket. With practiced precision, he emptied the contents onto the side table, fashioning a makeshift pipe from a dollar bill. In a single, powerful snort, he consumed the entire line, the rush of narcotics flooding his senses.

As the drugs took hold, he commanded his driver to ferry him back to his lavish abode. Flanked by his loyal bodyguards in two accompanying vehicles, Antonio's trusted assistant, Marco Santoro, sat beside him in the front seat.
