Alessandro should be here already. Heaven knows I’m counting on him. There’s no one else. Just how pathetic my life has become. I have no one else but the man whom I once hated with every fiber in me and now have a child with.
“Alessandro?” His grip on my neck tightens.
“I’ll kill you and your fucking boyfriend. I’m having it all. This city will know who Aldo is. Before I do that though, I won’t be denying myself a taste of those gorgeous tits, you know.” His grip is getting tighter as his eyes bore into mine and then into my cleavage again with an intensity I don’t recognize. He is crazier than I thought.
“Yo… you’re crazy,” I manage to say, almost breathless.
Beatrice’s sobs grow louder.
He stops choking me the moment we hear a noise from outside. His eyes grow bigger as he stares at the door. The noise gets louder as yells and gunshots fill the air.
He is here.
I let out a deep sigh as Aldo releases my throat.
“Someone should fucking check what’s going on out there,” he grunts in anger and yells. But it’s obvious that some of his men are afraid to step out first.
“Why are you standing here? Fucking get out there!”
He angrily grabs one by the collar of his shirt and yanks him towards the door. His beige-colored suit has a few dirt spots on its sides and a tiny blood splatter on the chest. He is disturbed as he paces the room frantically, squeezing his jaws.
“Puttana (Bitch)!” He growls as he spots a smile on my face.
My jaws are clenched with his fingers wrapped around them tight. “He's going to kill you and I’ll be there to watch.”
The guard runs back into the warehouse, slamming the door shut. “It’s them. It’s Alessandro, boss.”
“Fuck!” Aldo releases my jaws and takes a step closer to the guard. “Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!”
He takes the guard by surprise and punches him hard in the face multiple times until he falls to the ground. I flinch from the viciousness, watching him deliver hard punches. “Take the gallons now! Burn it all down!”
He walks back to me and faces me. “None of you are coming out alive.”
He turns to the man holding my arms from behind. “Kill her.” He takes a glance at Beatrice and brushes his fingers through her hair. “Both of them.”
“No…no! Stop!” I scream as Aldo walks to the other end of the room. He’s headed to the second exit door. The room is choking with the smell of fuel.
“Aldo! Aldo!”
I’m stopped by the strong arms gripping mine, pulling me back as I try to reach for Aldo. He doesn’t get to fucking leave.
I stare at the man with a matchbox who is busy lighting up the warehouse. He tosses a lit match to a pile of fuel-drenched wood, which engulfs in fire almost immediately.
Piero has a devilish grin as the warehouse lights up, with fire spreading around the corners. I’m losing my mind with no options of getting out alive.
The noise outside has gotten louder, but there’s still no sight of Alessandro. My head is hurting badly. The smell of smoke seeping through my nostrils makes it worse. Sweat beads start to form on my head from the heat in the room.
No…no. Alessandro, where the fuck are you?
Aldo’s men finally release Beatrice and me as they prepare to exit the room. Piero points a gun at me first and then at Beatrice. Like it’s some fucking game to him and we are his helpless pawns.
I want to kick him hard in the balls and send a bullet down his throat.
“Who is going first among you, bitches?”
“Piero, we have to leave,” one says behind him.
They are the only two remaining behind.
