"Tell me what you want from me, Anastasia. " he whispered.
"I want you to give up, Max. " I murmured, biting my lip. This isn't good.
"Give up on what? "
"Being a mafia. You're hurting -" he cuts me off.
"STOP BEING A MAFIA? I'm gentle, I stopped hurting everybody. Anybody... And now you're telling me to stop? I've gave you all the requirements you need. How much do you want?! Give the whole business to a random person and just say that he owns all this, deserves all this? What else do you need more, Anastasia?! " he shouted, scowling at me with those VERY fierce eyes. He is super mad.
"I..." I shrieked, sobbing. I don't wanna make his mad. I don't wanna be his enemy. Tears failed me. Dripping down from my face.
He never keep those eyes away from me. I was very scared. Speechless. I can't give him everything he needs. I shouldn't say that. I'm doomed.
