ELENA

"PER favore!" Please! The man pleased, kneeling before her as he clasped his hands tightly. Elena tilted her head, quirking an eyebrow as she paused. "Imploro la tua misericordia, signora!" I beg for your mercy, madam!

Elena did not reply, frowning as she kissed her teeth. Her henchmen loomed over the man, wiping their knuckles clean of blood. Dante stood beside her, choosing not to participate in the situation unless necessary.

"Per favore, signora!" Please, madam! The man continued to plead for his life but to no avail. To show his sincerity, he decided to bow. He pressed his forehead against the floor, shoulders shaking as he wept. "Dammi ancora una possibilità, signora!" Give me one more chance, madam!

"Chissà se questa è l'ultima" I wonder if this is the last Elena hummed as she sighed in annoyance. The man looked up, hope filling his tearful eyes. "Visto che sono di buon umore, ti lascio fuori dai guai" Since I'm in a good mood, I'll let you off the hook

"Grazie, signora" Thank you, madam! The man said, relief washing his entire being. His body relaxed, slumping as he remained kneeling before her.

"Signora-!" Madam-! Her men protested but with a raise of her hand, they quickly shut their mouths. She gave them a single warning look before continuing.

"Ma ho una domanda, Matteo" But I do have one question, Matteo Elena said, bending by the wasit as she leaned closer to him. "Chi altro è coinvolto in questo colpo di stato?" Who else is involved in this coup?

Matteo did not answer. With eyes wide, he slowly shook his head. Elena frowned, disappointed by his response. She rose to her full height, raising her leg as she kicked him across his face. He collapsed a few meters away from his original position, laying on the concrete floor unmoving.

"Riportalo qui" Get him back here Elena ordered as she rubbed her face in annoyance. Her men quickly followed her orders, dragging Matter back in front of her.

"È una semplice domanda che richiede una semplice risposta" It's one simple question that requires one simple answer Elena hissed as she grabbed him by his jaw, nearing his face towards hers. She dug her nails into his cheeks, earning a pained groan from him. "Quanto può essere difficile?" How difficult can that be?

"È meglio che mi rispondi adesso" It's better that you answer me now Elena released his face, roughly pushing him back. Elena dusted her hands clean from any of Matteo's body fluids that may have soiled her hands. "Dio non voglia che Valentino venga qui, sai quanto può diventare violento" God forbid Valentino comes here, you know how violent he can get

"Signora, Io-" Madam, I-

"Nomi, Matteo" Names, Matteo Elena interjected, giving Matteo a lifeless smile. "Ho bisogno di nomi" I need names

Elena pulled out two brass knuckles from her jacekt's pockets, sliding them over her slender fingers. She wriggled her fingers, getting comfortable with the weapons in her hands. She took a step closer to Matteo, eyes darkening. "Non mi fermerò davanti a nulla finché non otterrò ciò che voglio" I will stop at nothing until I get what I want

A loud melody interrupted the quiet ambiance of the room, pulling Elena out of her peaceful slumber. With an annoyed groan, she reached her hand out to her bedside table and grabbed the device. Her sleepy eyes squinted at the screen, only to see her brother's name plastered across it.

"Accidenti a te, Santino" Damn you, Santino Elena cursed as she pressed the answer button, quietly greeting her brother with venom. "Cosa vuoi?" What do you want?
