THE MAFIA'S DEADLY DEVOTION
The Mafia's Deadly Devotion- Episode 25&26
(..Stuck with the mafia boss..)
By; Cherry Love F.
"Please.....". Emily cried, panting for breath and she could feel herself losing consciousness just like what happened with Angelo, except this time around, Vlad was ready to kill her and the look on his face was evidence. Emily closed her eyes painfully, tears streaming down her face.
"Die you bi+ch....". Vlad yelled and Emily opened her eyes again mumbling pleading sounds to Vlad but he only grinned like a psychopath and tightened his grip on her throat.
"Please, let go of me....why are you doing this?. I helped you". She managed to ask. Her eyes were red now from the crying.
"To save myself, I can't let Angelo find you after helping me or me again and for that you'll have to go. You helping me was your own foolish decision". Vlad grinned, cringing as he remembered what Angelo had done to him.
Someone cleared his throat from outside and they both turned. Vlad froze, immediately letting go of his grip on Emily. Emily breathed out finally, falling to the floor and gasping for air desperately.
"Oh.... go ahead, don't mind me, I'm just watching". Angelo shrugged leaning against the wall and Emily's eyes nearly bulged out from their sockets but Angelo didn't look at her, his gaze remained trained on Vlad.
"An... Angelo?". Vlad stuttered, nearly dropping to the floor, he scooted away from Emily. "I'm sorry, please forgive me, I promise to devote myself to you if you spare my life". He bargained.
Angelo looked away from him to Emily.
"Weren't you told that this place was out of bounds for you?.Josh warned you but you wouldn't listen you were being brave?. How the f+ck can you be so naive, gullible and stupid all at once?". Angelo scoffed.
"I'm.....
"Shut the f+ck up, I don't want to hear any silly excuse". He said and Emily pursed her lips.
"I'm sorry, I'm really....
"You didn't hear when I said I don't want to hear anything from you?". Angelo snapped and Emily immediately kept quiet lowering her gaze.
"Please don't kill me". Vlad begged again, and knelt down.
"Okay". Was Angelo's reply and Vlad blinked, Emily looked at him surprised but Angelo didn't say anything else.
Angelo looked at Emily and came close to her, he pulled out a gun from his pocket and threw it to the floor.
"Pick it up". He ordered her and she shook with fear, gulping nervously.
"Huh?".
"Pick up the damn gun". Angelo snapped and Emily shook her head, shrinking further into the wall.
"I- I can't". Emily breathed out, finally gaining her voice.
Angelo took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, he then nodded,
bringing out another gun from his pocket and aiming at Emily. Vlad watched from the side, confused at what was happening in front of him.
"I will say this for the last time, pick up the gun and shoot Vladimir now or I'll kill you in front of him and kill him after you're dead, Emily. Do not test my patience, it won't be nice at all". Angelo boomed.
This was the first time he was calling Emily's name and he was very serious looking at the moment, his gun remained glued to Emily as if daring her to go against him.
Emily hesitated and Angelo pulled the trigger without any hesitation on his side, the bullet rammed into the wall next to Emily's head.
"Arrgh!!". Emily screamed, her heart threatening to escape from her body.
"You're the only one who has gone against my orders and still lives, Emily but that will change today. Those were only warning shots, pull your trigger or I'll pull mine". Angelo warned and Emily's hand trembled as she picked up the gun. It felt like it weighed 10 tons in her hand.
Angelo nodded approvingly, watching her like a hulk.
"Emily, do you want to become a murderer?". Vlad asked.
"A- a murderer?". She muttered, glancing at Angelo. He was still looking at her without a shift in his expression.
"5 seconds". Angelo recited.
"W-what are you talking about?". Emily stuttered.
"4".
"3".
Silence.
Outside, the maids were watching keenly from a spot, all of them gathered together, thanking their stars for not being in the same spot as Emily. While others pitied her, some laughed at her for her stubbornness. Elena grinned as she waited for Angelo to pull the darn trigger on Emily and end her stupid life while Josh immediately called Carlos on the phone.
"Two".
All three of them looked at each other and Angelo raised his gun again, Vlad decided to use this opportunity to attack and he lunged at Emily, she screamed loudly as he tried to collect the gun from her.
Angelo seemed unfazed as he raised his gun again.
"One".
Bluey was biting her nails anxiously, and just then, two gunshots were heard from the dungeon and everyone literally froze. Not knowing who was shot.
CANNES, FRANCE
The sitting arrangement was made by the teacher that they had bribed. Alyssa sat with Skye, Nora sat behind them and Katherine in front of Alyssa. Hades and blade sat together while Carlos sat behind them in the next row.
"Hi, I'm Alyssa, I'm new". Alyssa smiled at Skye.
"Good to know". He said dismissively and Alyssa subtly rolled her eyes. They had only one week for the mission.
"Do you think she'll get him to like her?". Blade whispered.
"I don't know, but he'll be blind if he misses that opportunity". Hades shrugged, leaning over to whisper to a girl beside him.
"Hey pretty". He grinned.
"Hi". The girl smiled prettily before scowling at him.
"Ohkay". He leaned back in his seat.
Nora just skimmed through the pages of their textbook, blocking out everyone beside her, even her seatmate.
Skye bent over to pick up his fallen pen and saw Nora, she was the only quiet one in class and she was pretty too. His gaze lingered on her a second longer, then she looked at him. None breaking eye contact until Skye shot his eye brows up and woke Nora from her trance, she looked away and back to her textbook. Skye grinned to himself and turned back.

Emily let the gun fall to the floor before she fell too, she didn't believe it. She just killed a person for the first time in her life, she felt so guilty and dirty.
Angelo on the other hand didn't seem affected though but he just stared at Vlad's lifeless body wordlessly. A thousand thoughts were running in his head but he couldn't grasp onto a single one and it drove him crazy but one thing was for sure. He was relieved.
"Time for your punishment". He told Emily and stood in front of her. She only stared at him, her face was painstakingly red.
"Get up". He ordered before pulling her up by himself and dragging her out of the room and through the hallway, the maids immediately scattered, pretending to be doing work.
Emily's eyes met bluey's for a second and bluey tried to secretly cheer her up but Emily knew she was disappointed in her. Angelo kept dragging her all the way to her room, then he left her there and locked the door taking the key with him.
Emily remembered being in this position the first time she came there and now she was here again. Except this time it was different, she was too embarrassed to say it but she actually thought Angelo had a soft spot for her but he proved her wrong today and took all her hopes into that wall the moment he fired the gun at her.
FLASHBACK
"One". Angelo finished counting and Vlad and Emily were still struggling with the gun, Vlad brought his hand up to Emily's throat to choke her again but out of reflex, she pulled the trigger and fell on the ground just the same time angelo shot at her. She looked up at Angelo and he did the same to her before they looked at Vlad who was out cold. The bullet from Emily's gun had gone straight into his head.
And that was her very first kill.
* Present
"How long are you going to keep her locked up?". Josh asked.
"A week. No food. No one to talk to. And lights out". Angelo said sternly.
"What if she's afraid of the dark?". Josh reasoned.
"Then that's her bad luck". Angelo shrugged and Josh looked at him in disbelief.
"What?". Angelo asked when Josh wouldn't stop staring.
"Nothing....". He was saying until he met Angelo's eyes. "I just thought she was different". He spilled.
"That's why you didn't tell me that she went there before?". Angelo scoffed.
"What? H-how did you know?".
"You're getting punished too". Angelo's phone rang again for the umpteenth time and he finally decided to answer Carlos' call.
A CYBER CAFE DOWNTOWN
Two masked men sat in the large building, one of them hung up the phone and shook his head while the other phoned their boss.
"Don, I think we were wrong. He feels nothing for her". The man spoke.
"That's not possible". The person on the other line yelled.
"He just tried kill her". The second man said.
".......".
"Okay boss, right away ". The men said and left discreetly.
