Looking at each other with hatred, even though he learned the truth about his brother and how he almost killed us, me and my child, his then unborn son. Nothing has changed.
Not a bit of pity or empathy. This man has nothing good left in him except hatred and revenge.
I don't even know how to save Rossa and how to see my son. I don't know what to do, I don't know what he wants from me.
"Tell me Santiago, what do I have to do to see my child, to let Rossa come home. What? Tell me." Maybe there's still some hope for him.
"Kill your whole family."
Shock. Shock. Shock.
I watched him without a word spoken. I can't believe what I'm hearing.
I heard wrong. I must have heard wrong.
He didn't tell me this!
"Is this your revenge? Am I to blame for your sister deciding to fuck my cousin? Am I to blame for that. She got what she asked for, and my cousin died. For Maximilian, he wanted it that way himself. I had to save us. There was never any revenge against anyone. Until recently, I didn't even know about the mafia, about enemies, about the long-standing hatred between the two mafias. I saw your brother as a very good person, as a friend. He destroyed that himself. Because of your revenge and your past, innocent people are suffering." I felt pain on my lip and drops of blood on the floor.
Santiago slapped me with all his strength until my face went numb.
"You won't talk about my family like that. Your mom killed my dad." It's an old story.
"Your dad did horrible things to my mom, your dad was mentally ill. He needed professional help." I answered him out loud, to which he laughed as if he had escaped from a psychiatric hospital.
Another slap. Tears started flowing from the pain I was feeling. After all, he is a man and I am a woman. He is much stronger than me. I can't do anything.
"You can beat me for days, but the truth is what I said. I didn't ask for any of this, but that's how it turned out." I hate him.
Santiago Ruiz, your end is coming soon, and my hands will finish it.
"This was a test. I don't want you to kill your family, I will do it anyway. Long and slow. I will enjoy every scream your family lets out as I inflict pain on them, and you will watch. I will fuck you day and night in front of their eyes, while they beg me to stop until they run out of air." Horror and terror.
My eyes went dark.
This is the devil of a man.
"Tell me what to do to change that, please. I'll do everything I can to prevent that from happening. Tell me what you want from me?" I would die if I saw my family in such a bad state. My parents did bad things in the past, but so did his parents. Why are we young people involved in this.
"I want you. All of you. Your body. Your soul. Your heart. Everything you have to be mine." The mentally ill man.
"You know that will never happen. I will never love you." I answered him, trying to catch all his reactions.
"No problem, you will never see your child again, nor your friend Aiko enjoys. They must be having fun. Maybe you could join them." He grabbed my hand and started pulling me somewhere outside the room.
I don't want to see that woman. These people are mentally ill.
"Where are you taking me?" I tried to slow down but to no avail. He doesn't care.
The closer we got, the more I heard Rossa's screams. There's a bomb in my head. I can't think straight. I can't see what they've done to her. I'm going to kill them all.
"Come in!" He shouted and opened the door.
He pushed me into the room where Rossa was unconscious and Aiko was pouring hot wax all over her.
She was unconscious and this bitch was torturing her anyway.
My body started to shake with fear, from the scene before my eyes.
Aiko saw me and started to move away from Rossa.
No. I don't want her near me.
Santiago was holding me so tightly that I couldn't move.
"Please, Santiago." I said it so quietly that I could barely hear myself.
Aiko was getting closer and closer.
I turned to Santiago with all my strength and looked him in the eyes. I begged him with my eyes to stop this madness.
"I'll be yours, just don't give me to her." As I said those words, I swallowed the lump in my throat.
I can't believe I'm saying this.
I have to save them even if it's the last thing I ever do in my life.
"I didn't hear you right." He said. I felt a hand on my shoulder that could only be Aiko's. My eyes widened so much that I wouldn't be surprised if I dropped them.
"I'll be yours." I said, gritting my teeth.
"Aiko, don't touch her, she's mine." I can't wait to strangle them with my own hands.
I'm not going to cry. I'm not going to give them the pleasure of seeing me miserable. I'm humiliating myself enough by saying that I'll be his. I have to come up with some quick plan to save us, because the longer I wait, the less chance I have.
"Do you remember me?" Santiago turned me around so that we were face to face.
"Trust me, it's impossible to forget a person as nasty as you. It's interesting how you betrayed your allies so quickly, the people who had your back and were always there for you. I'll never forgive you for what you did to my best friend, and my hands will end your life." She smiled as if she were an animal, a hyena.
"This is all business, dear. You're always looking for ways to get more. Your mafia didn't give anything, which means I have no use of your mafia. It's very simple." This fucking bitch.
"You're not a normal woman. Go get treated." I told her angrily, but she started at me and I backed away. Santiago put me behind his back, and Aiko raised her hands in the air as if surrendering.
This is just the beginning of something bad, very bad.
"We'll see who gets treated in the end." Aiko replied and turned back to Rossa.
We left the room, and of course he was pulling me like a dog on a leash, but at one point I heard a baby crying loudly.
This is my Alessandro.
"Alessandro!"
