Bound To The Mafia Lord

The End Days

With the arrival of the sad news, Don Pedro, the Mafia Lord stood to his feet. His good mood immediately turned bad. He could barely remember that Mandy was still sitting in the same room. His attention was completely shifted to Frank.

"How many men did I lose?" he queried with a harsh voice.

"Only two, boss! One was captured by the special Squad Police, while the other men fled with gunshot injuries," said Frank with a lingering look of surprise on his face. Even though he was speaking to Pedro, his primary focus was on Mandy.

With a heart fill with rage and disappointment, Pedro noticed the deviation on Frank's part. "Look at me when I'm talking to you and not her!" he scolded Frank. It was only when Frank gave Pedro his attention that the Mafia Lord began speaking again. "Who snitched on me, huh?"

"I have no idea, boss!" He spoke with a panicked voice.

Frank was no stranger to what Pedro was capable of. It was said that some time ago, the Mafia Lord sent some of his cartel members on an errand to ship drugs to a new territory. The men failed to deliver after having been attacked by a rival gang that stole the package and disarmed all of them in disgrace. They returned to tell their tale, only to have their heads chopped off and displayed in the open-air, at the order of Don Pedro himself. The horrible story sent terror and shock waves not only to his men but, to his rivals and indeed, the whole Mafia world. It established him as the most brutal Mafia Lord.

Such served as a reminder to Frank that no one messes with Pedro and goes Scot-free.

The rate of his fear no doubt, accelerated once he bumped into Mandy, in a worrying situation. He knows quite alright that no one would be allowed into Pedro's inner room, in the big mansion, if such an individual was not close to him. So, is Mandy the mafia's Lord favorite w***e at the moment? If it's true, it could spell doom for him which was why Frank could not focus his whole attention on Pedro as he explained what happened.

He had to catch another glimpse of Mandy but, that did not sit well with Pedro.

"Look at me when I'm talking to you! Mother-fucker!" Pedro grabbed Frank's shirt while the other guards c****d their guns to support of their boss. "Who in the f*****g hell, stabbed me at the back? Who snitched on me?" he queried Frank with a loud, harsh voice, at the same time squeezing his neck for answers.

"I'm working on it! I swear with my life that I would find out who did this and get back to you! Please, boss don't do it!" she shook with fear.

Frank knew that his life hung in balance. Even if he eventually talks his way out from the wrath of Pedro, what about Mandy? What if she wields the power to make him pay for his sins against her?

Pedro was sensitive enough to figure out how Mandy was staring at Frank with disgust. He wondered if she knew who Frank was.

"Find them before I do the job myself!" he yelled at Frank while shaking him vigorously.

He let him go after that. But as he turned to look at Mandy again, he saw some tears coming out of her eyes and at the same time, she was looking at Frank. "Is there any problem, Mandy?"

Her response was unintelligible. She blinked her eyes severally and struggled to wipe her tears then she stammered. "No-no-no, Sir!"

Frank eased a sigh of relief when Mandy admitted not knowing who he was. The tension in him was indeed high and almost visible.

"Good!" said Pedro before turning his attention to Frank. "Now, get the hell out! Until you bring me some answers!" he commanded while pointing towards the exit door.

"Yes, Boss." Frank bowed his head slightly before he began walking out with his tail caught between his legs. He felt a little embarrassed as the guards pushed him out at the end of the exit door.

Down the corridor, a sudden silence fell upon him. Frank was a man full of strength and often demonstrated that by the way he walked. But, after his little encounter with Pedro and the woman he betrayed, he felt weak. Now, he walks slowly with feeble feet.

Even the old friends he had shook hands with when he was walking in, he ignored all of them when he was walking out. Anyone who saw him at that moment knew that all was not well with him. It was written all over his face. It was sadness and gloom; all for him!

Quickly, he stepped into the car and waited for several minutes. During those moments of relapse, his thoughts took him to a place he never wanted to be. It was all about Mandy. He recalled the love they shared and the dreams they had together. It only made him feel worse.

Mandy was not like any other lady he had slept with. Even though he picked her up from the street, she had no w***e's vibe. She is the kind of lady he needed to build a home with. However, things changed when his life came under threat. He was left with two options. One was to give Mandy up to the enemy gang. Two, he would lose his life if he decided to keep Mandy alive. In the end, he decided to betray Mandy to save his life.

"s**t!" he slammed his hands on the staring provoking indeliberately, the horn of the car.

It was getting hot for him. His heartbeat has never beaten faster than it beats at that moment. Every thought about her hurts him so much. He was with remorse but, it was too late. He is going to die a painful death if something is not done. Not, just that, but other things would be at stake.

Even If he finds the men who snitched on Don Pedro and is once again trusted by the Mafia Lord, how will solve the Mandy-problem? He was afraid that she would never forgive him. There was no way she wouldn't do everything within her reach to get her revenge on him.

However, there was only one way to put an end to Mandy's threat. It was, to take her out. If Mandy is killed, he will have to deal with the assignment given to him by Don Pedro. Nevertheless, he must do that as soon as possible, as time is running out.

He feared Mandy might pour her heart into Don Pedro before he could kill her. Therefore, he must go back to the mansion and find a way to isolate her and eliminate her for good.

He reached out for a pistol hidden under the driver's seat.

Just as he was about to step out of the car, he heard the sound of a gun c****d and loaded. "Take another step and I will blow your head off!... Hands up!" came a harsh voice from behind. "Now, slowly turn around!" commanded the voice.

When he turned around, he saw one of Don Pedro's men pointing a gun at his forehead. Not far from him, was an emotionally weakened Mandy. Tears strolled down her eyes as she locked her eyes on Frank.

Frank feared the worst was about to happen. Maybe, Mandy had told Don Pedro about him therefore, the Mafia Lord ordered his execution in front of Mandy to please her. There was no doubt about that as the thug seemed ready to impregnate him with multiple bullets.

He closed his eyes and began the count down to the end of his days.
