“Huff… You did a great job, bravo bro,” the figure baritone voice said, releasing a wild, loud laughter.

The laughter was loud, and it went deep!!

So fûcking deep into Antonio’s skull.

_______

Who else could it be but Hellfire.. Yeah, Hellfire.

Antonio looked at him with nothing but disgust on his face. He was the same person who had caused Maya’s memory loss.

He had separated him from Maya that very day, and made him shove a knife into his tummy. And since that day, Antonio had turned into what he was

____a devil, a beast, a remorseful demon, a mafia king. It was all because of Hellfire, and Antonio wanted nothing but to burn him to death. He was the one who had deprived him of his joy and smile.

Hellfire walked towards him, and at first glance, you would think he was older due to his full mustache and muscular chest. He was also taller. He approached Antonio and puffed his smoke right in his face.

Well, yeah… After Antonio had successfully shoved the knife into his tummy, he had undergone surgery, and it was only by the grace of God that he had survived.

His tummy was stitched, and it couldn’t come into contact with hands. Because when that Ɓîtçh had touched him that day, blood had oozed out. Well, it was because of that incident. That was his only weakness.

“Long time no see, brother,” Hellfire sneered, and Antonio gripped his neck tightly.

“You motherfûcking fûcker,” Antonio spat, his teeth gritted in anger. Hellfire let out a menacing laugh.

“I see you’re back with your childhood sweetheart, huh? You made a big mistake reconciling with her. She’s always been my target, and I’ll stop at nothing to torture her. I’ll finish what I started.”

Antonio’s eyes blazed with fury as he shoved Hellfire against his car.

“You won’t dare touch her,” he growled. Hellfire chuckled.

“You couldn’t stop me back then. What makes you think you can stop me now?” Antonio’s eyes turned red with rage as he choked Hellfire, his fingers digging deep into his skin.

“I only stabbed you in the tummy last time. Maybe this time I’ll finally end your life. There won’t be any Hellfire left.”

“Then ki|| me. You’re still the weakling you’ve always been. You still have that softness in you.” Hellfire taunted.

“You turned me into what I am today. Why don’t I show you what I’m made of?” Antonio snarled, He grabbed a gun from Minnie, but Hellfire was quicker, pulling out a gun from his pocket and firing at Antonio.

The bullet hit his arm, and blood gushed out. Before Antonio could react, Hellfire escaped into the darkness, and his gang gave chase. But Antonio stopped them.

“It’s useless,” he muttered.

“No, Don, let’s teach that motherfûcker a lesson.”Jerry protested.

“Cool… His end is near. We’ll strike when the time is right.”Antonio replied.

✧✧✧✧

(HELLFIRE MOB)

Hellfire entered his room and locked the door, going to stand near his window.

He might have overshadowed Antonio today, maybe Antonio wanted that, but he’s sure he’s not up to him… he just uses that boldness to think he’s strong, but hell.

Who was he deceiving?

And about that Antonio sweetheart, he’s surely gonna have her in his clan…

Well, he knew right from the start that Maya was Antonio’s sweetheart, and that was why he had been requesting that they bring Maya to his clan.

He wanted to use her as a tool to get to Antonio, but fûck, Antonio was faster than him.

And now that Antonio knew that she was his childhood sweetheart, he wouldn’t let her go..

He wanted to use her as a tool, but now she’s already his weakness.

Instead of her being his tool, he would make sure he tortures her till Antonio goes on his knees to accept that he’s the senior.

He would cause her pain till Antonio decides to step down from the role as the devil king.

He would snatch that role from him…

He would collect the title… The Don title.

That day when Antonio stabbed him, he managed to survive! they even rushed him to the hospital…

And it was after like five days he came out of a coma…

Yeah, he fell into a coma after they underwent surgery for him.

While growing up, their father gave up the ghost…

He had thought they would choose him as the next Don to rule the whole Italy…

But no, they chose Antonio instead of him.

Wasn’t that the same weakling, the soft-hearted person who couldn’t even lift a sword?

How amusing that they chose him instead of the strong and cold-hearted person he is.

He lived up to his father’s expectations, but they ditched him and made Antonio the next Don.

He was hurt, heartbroken, and he left his father’s mansion to go build a clan where he would be respected…

He changed his name, but still, he couldn’t beat Antonio in his game…

Instead, Antonio was ten steps ahead of him.

He would stop at nothing to see Antonio’s downfall, and only Maya could achieve this dream of his.

He smashed the mirror, and it shattered into pieces…

He walked to grab his tobacco pipe and puffed out a heavy smoke into it.

LIGHT STATION*

Everyone was already gathered when Emily walked in, and the room fell silent.

“So, I went through what Grayson said, and I think it’s true. Maya has been to the Devil’s clan for a long time. Now, I have finally decided to ask her to end this mission. She needs to start thinking of a way to bring Antonio here, and then her mission will be over.” Emily muttered.

The room erupted in agreement, with Grayson’s mind racing with excitement. Finally, his dream would come true. He had imagined this moment for so long, and now he would be able to confess his love to Maya and marry her.

She would be his, and he would never let her go.

“Oh, gracious, my prayers have been answered. All hail the Almighty,” he thought to himself.

July, on the other hand, was glad that she would finally see her long-time friend, whom she missed dearly. She couldn’t imagine how Maya had survived without her by her side.

“So, do you all agree with me?” Emily asked, and Grayson was the first to raise his hand in support, followed by July.

“Good,” Emily said, a smile spreading across her face.

The two cars drove into the clan’s compound, and the group emerged with victorious smiles on their faces.

“And we bagged another victory!” Spider screamed.

“I don’t think there’s a clan that can rival us,” Speedy said with a smile.

Pussycat, however, was struggling with her wound.

“Fûck, I’m losing blood,” she hissed, a piece of clothing tied around her wound.

“Yours isn’t even up to what the Don is losing,” Crispy remarked, and Pussycat rolled her eyes.

Rocco stepped in to help, drawing her to the nearest bench. He removed the cloth and began cleaning the wound before applying medical treatment.

“Ouch, it hurts,” Pussycat winced, and Rocco apologized, his eyes locked on hers. They were so close, their faces inches apart.

Rocco finished treating her wound, Pussycat gazed into his eyes, her heart racing.

“Thank you,” she said softly.

“My pleasure,” Rocco replied with a smile.

“You asked for my name… it’s Patricia,” Pussycat said, her voice barely above a whisper.

Rocco looked at her, his eyes crinkling at the corners.

“Cute name,” he said, and Pussycat raised an eyebrow.

“Don’t lie… the name is really disgusting,” she teased.

“It looks cute, just like you,” Rocco murmured, their gazes meeting again.

As much as Pussycat wanted to kiss him, she couldn’t.

“Control, Pussycat,” she muttered to herself, her heart racing with desire.

Hotdogg entered into Spider’s room, catching her in the middle of undressing.

“Fûck.” She mumbled and quickly covered herself with the duvet.

“Sorry.” He said, his eyes apologetic.

“You should have knocked on the door.” Spider said, her cheeks flushing with annoyance.

“I apologize for that, I didn’t know you would be undressing, sorry.” He quickly said, his voice was sincere.

“You should have gotten the signal, dude, this is a girl’s room, not a boy’s.” She muttered.

“Sorry.” Hotdogg replied, his smile was apologetic.

“Anyways, why are you here?” She asked, her curiosity piqued.

“I just wanted to ask how the mission went.” Hotdogg said.

“Well, it was nice, my muscles now feel relaxed after breaking some bones.” Spider said, her grin mischievous.

“Hope you didn’t get injured… I mean, you aren’t hurt, right?” he asked.

“No, why?” She asked and raised her eyebrow
“It’s nothing.” He said, his shrug casual.

“Guess I’d just leave for you to undress and freshen up.” Hotdogg said.

“No, wait, you can just wait for me while I go freshen up, I’m in the bathroom.” Spider mumbled.

“Cool.” Hotdogg replied.

“I’d just leave.” She said and ran to the bathroom, her movements swift.

Vinegar was passing through the hallway when she saw Jerry, and her eyes widened. She was about to make a U-turn and leave, having been trying her best to avoid him after their kiss.

“Hey! Silent babe,” he called, and she turned to him, forcing a smile.

“Were you about to leave when you saw me?” Jerry asked, his eyes narrowing slightly.

“You’re interpreting it wrong, I wasn’t, why would I?” Vinegar replied, trying to sound convincing

“I think you’re avoiding me,” Jerry said.

“Why?” Vinegar asked, feigning innocence.

“Maybe because of the kiss, dunno,” Jerry suggested, his eyes locked on hers.

“The kiss was a mistake that wasn’t meant to happen, so I see no reason why I should avoid you.” She laughed, trying to downplay the situation.

“But it says otherwise.”Jerry whispered.

“Where are you headed to?” he asked, changing the subject.

“Uhm… the lab,” she replied, her voice hesitant.

“Good, let’s go together,” Jerry suggested.

“No… I can go on my own,” Vinegar insisted.

“I don’t mind,” Jerry said.

“Fine,” she muttered.

ANTONIO SUITE*

Since his return from the mission, Antonio hadn’t bothered to treat his wounds, and the blood continued to ooze out.

He sat near his bed, smoking his tobacco pipe and nursing a drink. The door suddenly burst open, and Maya entered, her signature butter belly scent preceding her.

Antonio didn’t look up, but Maya lazily walked over to him, rubbing her eyes. She had just woken up from a nap in the computer lab and had come straight to see Antonio.

Maya squatted beside him, gazing at him with admiration.

“I love how you fight, you fought so well… I wish you were the one who trained me instead. I mean, maybe you could train me to be like you.” Maya said.

Why does she always have a slip of tongue when she’s around him??

Antonio didn’t bother replying her, he just kept puffing out his smoke and she coughed.
“Why do you…” Maya’s words trailed off as she noticed Antonio’s bleeding hand.

She gasped, grabbing his hand, and scolded

“Fûck, why didn’t you bother to treat your wound? Don’t you know leaving it like this could cause more pain and harm? Can’t you think before acting, considering how your actions might affect others? Can’t you see you’re loosing more blood. ” she blurted out and tore a peice of her cloth then she used it to wrapped his bleeding arm. .

Antonio looked at her, she was almost tearing up.

“Why?? ”

“Cos I care about you, Antonio. I care about your well-being, and I can’t bear seeing you in pain or danger. I care about you.” She muttered and her tears fell down freely.
