DISCIPLINE✔ (DSD SERIES, BOOK THREE)

Welcome To The Mafia

"Perché l'hai portata qui?! Sai che è pericoloso per lei essere all'aperto ma hai rischiato la vita!" Why did you bring her here?! You know it is dangerous for her to be in the open but you risked her life!

"Capo... Era sia per la tua sanità mentale che per la sua sicurezza." It was for both your sanity and her safety.

"Non avevi il diritto di portarla qui! Non è una pedina in questo!" You had no right bringing her here! She is not a pawn in this!

"Piaccia o no Capo, è parte di questo e averla sotto la nostra sorveglianza è meglio che averla nascosta. Quanto pensi che ci sarebbe voluto per trovarla? Per prenderla e mostrarle la vera oscurità di questa vita?" Like it or not Capo, she is a part of this and having her under our surveillance is better than having her hidden. How long do you think it would have taken them to find her? To take her and show her the real darkness of this life?

A thud echoes through the hall and I hear a pained grunt. Covering my mouth, I listen to the sounds of a scuffle sounding outside Dylan's bedroom door. They are going at it, Dylan's temper at its highest. My feet itch to move from its position at the door and do something but I don't.

Dylan had stormed out seconds after I had said Adonis' name. I had tried calming him down and I even gave chase only for him to slam the door behind him, effectively sending his message. Stay out of it.

I know of Dylan's temper and I know that right now the best thing I can do is let him work out his problems.

He didn't get far before stumbling on Adonis, seeing as though I could hear every word they are saying. Adonis must have known this was coming, that Dylan would be angry and seek him out. This urges me to wonder, why would he risk Dylan's anger?

"Ti hanno sparato perché ti sei preoccupato per lei. Era una distrazione! L'ho fatto per te. Hai bisogno di lei qui al tuo fianco. Un uomo è forte solo quanto il suo anello più debole e quella donna è la tua." You got shot because you got careless worrying over her. She was a distraction! I did it for you. You need her here by your side. A man is only as strong as his weakest link and that woman is yours.

The fighting seems to stop, only their harsh breathing reaching my ears. It is a tense pause and even from behind this door I can feel the tension.

"Se le fosse successo qualcosa ..." Dylan's voice carried across the hall, anger lacing his words. If anything had happened to her...

"Avrei accettato la mia morte." Adonis answers, his tone holding no dishonesty. I would have accepted my death

"No, la morte sarebbe troppo facile. Ti torturerei, ti distruggerei dall'interno. Quando sono con te, chiederesti la morte." No, death would be too easy. I would torture you, I would destroy you from the inside out. When I am though with you, you'd be begging for death.

Dylan's words make me gulp and I take a step back, surprised by the venom in his voice. I can just imagine the rage and anger in his gaze, his sharp features accentuated with a sinister look, his eye twitching and his jaws clench tightly as he tries not to lash out.

Their conversation continues but they seem to have lowered their voices because all I can hear are mumbles and grumbles. The nosy part of me wants to hear more so I move closer to the door, pressing my ear to it trying to hear their words.

"Don't go behind my back again Adonis. You know better than anyone what I am capable of..." I hear after a few moments before a soft thud echoes.
