il mio primo e ultimo amore

Pierced Through the Heart, But Never Killed

**Reposted because additional elements were added**

Hong Cha Young knows one thing.

Anita was threatened.

And innocent.

She glances up to find a man standing beside her.

Her resolve remains unwavering as her heart hammers in her chest.

"Keep your heart cold. Show no fear, no matter how much blood is spilled. Revenge will be smoother that way."

Her husband's voice echoes in her mind, and instead of numbing her, it fills her heart with a deep, aching saudade.

"Spyderco Matriarch for the next matriarch of the Cassano Familia." The man utters, observing her blade and then lets out a laugh.

Her dagger fell down in favor of reaching out to Anita.

Cha Young's blood runs cold.

"Where's Maria?"

The man looks at her and blinks.

Cha Young warns herself not to wince as she sees the ugly scar on the man's face.

Blue eyes stare at her and a sinister curve of his lips and then he says.

"Is the Capo's wife worried about a cheap servant?"

Cha Young hisses.

"You don't know who she is." She cuts him short.

"Well, I know her and your husband."

The man turns on his heel walking straight.

Cha Young looks around, the interior of this place looks nothing like a warehouse used to torture people.

She follows the man, anger surging through her veins.

His voice rings in her head.

"My husband doesn't know who you are."

The man stops walking, Cha Young stops herself too.

He looks over at her from his shoulder and smiles again.

"Oh Signora Cassano.." He purrs, it makes Cha Young want to break his jaw.

"He knows me better than everyone."

Cha Young can't help but scoff.

"I haven't heard about you."

The man resumes walking and Cha Young picks her pace as well, she remains conscious and aware of any traps, eyes surveying the whole place.

"As expected." The man hums.

"Your husband is a coward."

Blame the hormones as she says.

"Well guess what?"

The man turns and faces her.

"What?"

"You're going to die today."

Laughter erupts and echoes through the walls of the warehouse.

Cha Young places her hands on her chest, glaring at the man.

"You've got such guts, pretty little thing."

His eyes scan her body and Cha Young wants to strangle him by his tie.

Then his eyes stop at her bulging stomach, Cha Young grins.

"Well well, is he about to be a father now?"
