The Mafia Boss Little Pawn

5 - Mafia

STEPHANO

"Arghhhhh!"

"For the last time, Pedro, who are you working for?" I asked for the hundredth time and this fucker still doesn't to give me an answer.

"No one..... please....stop" he cried reacting to the pain I am inflicting on him.

He is tied up to a chair, has no shirt on but trousers and blood is filled on his body. That's because I am hitting him with one of my favourite toys that looks like a cane but it is a metal one. It can cause a very agonizing pain.

But I guess it isn't causing enough because this i***t has refused to talk!

"Let's just kill him already, Stephano" Mario, who is standing beside us said.

"No we need to know who sent him first" Flavio said.

"But we have been torturing him for almost an hour now and he has refused to speak. Bury some bullet in his head already " Mario said.

"No please!" Pedro cried.

"Mario, can you for once stop thinking about your gun?" I asked glaring at him, making him keep calm.

I looked back at Pedro. His eyes are swollen up as a result of the beating Mario and Flavio gave to him.

I leaned down. "Pedro......You use to be one of our finest guards. What happened?"

He is crying silently, his chest is going up and down. The sweat on his body tells how much pain he is passing through right now.

But the fool doesn't want to redeem himself.

"Answer me, Pedro. What f*****g happened? Why did you choose to betray us?"

He opened his mouth to speak.

I raised a brow at him.

"I....I am sorry s..sir... please" he stuttered.

"Who are you working for?"

He looked down.

"I can't...."

"Can't what?"

"I....I can't tell you"

Mario scoffed.

"Why? Look at you. I can tell that your body can not take it anymore. Tell me what I need to know or I will continue punishing you."

He cried.

"Who. Are. You. Working. For?"

He looked at me. "I can't tell you sir......they threatened to kill my family if I ever tell you anything."

"You...."

"I will kill your family if you don't" Ace interrupted as he walked into the room with Isla, following him behind.

Standing on my feet, I sense Pedro shift on his seat the second he saw Ace.

"Boss" Mario and Flavio said in greeting.

"Why the f**k is he still alive?" Ace asked me.

I heaved a sigh. "We need to know who sent him. For all we know, he must have given them every information about us"

Ace scoffed. He walked closer to Pedro. Pedro shifted again, shuddering.

"Pathetic" Ace mocked.

"Please....I am sorry sir... please," Pedro stuttered.

"If you don't tell me who sent you to spy on my mafia, I will kill every living soul in your family" Ace threatened

Pedro froze under Ace mercy. You could sense the fear all over him.

"You f*****g know me you pig. I don't make jokes. Who f*****g sent you?"

"I....I ... please..."

Ace nodded as he took out his big cigar. He put it in his mouth and Isla moved a lighter under the cigar, lightening it up. Ace sucked on it and blow out smoke. He walked closer to Pedro. The next thing he did, he pressed the burning end on Pedro swollen eyes.

"Arrrrrghhhhhh" Pedro screamed out in pain.

Ace moved his hand to Mario who placed a gun on it.

Without delay, he c****d the gun, points it at Pedro and shot him twice on the head.

"s**t!" I cursed.

Pedro is lifeless but his eyes are open.

"We haven't gotten the information that we need" I said to Ace.

Ace didn't reply as he handed Mario's gun back to him.

"Isla, see to it that no single being of his family is left alive" Ace said.

"Yes sir" Isla said, walking out of the room.

"Ace," I called.

He looked at me and smirked. "No need. I already know who sent him. I just wanted to kill the motherfucker for betraying us"

What the...

"The Russo brothers sent him" he said.

I thought as much.

"Take the men with you and kill every single one of them. Spare no one. Not even their pets" he said emotionlessly, looking straight at me.

"Mario" he called, his eyes still on mine.

"Boss," Mario answered.

"Make sure the work is completely done"

"Yes boss"

Ace walked closer to me and ruffled my hair a bit. I moved my hair away from his touch. "My right hand man here can be a little bit kind hearted when it comes to killing people" he said.

"You can count on me, sir" Mario said.

Ace smirked at me before walking out of the room.

"Even the boss can't stand his soft heart" I heard Mario mutter to Flavio.

I threw him a glare making him stand straight and clear his throat.

"Let's go" I said as I headed out.

Outside the mansion, I signaled to the men out here and they all followed me. I entered the front seat of the first car, Mario and Flavio entered the back while other men took the other two cars.

We hit the road.

My name is Stephano Di Mancini. I work as the right hand man to my older brother, Ace. The ruthless leader of our mafia. He single handedly built this mafia from scratch into what it is today. He is known for his ruthlessness and deadly acts all over Italy. No one dares joke with him or cross his path cause he will slaughter any offender without mercy.

I don't know what got into Pedro that he agreed to work for the Russo brothers. I thought he knew Ace very well. I thought he knew what Ace is capable of.

Ace spares no one. Especially those who steals from him.

If a baby steals from him, he will kill that baby without looking back. That's how he hates being stolen from.

That fucker, Luca is lucky that we couldn't find him anywhere. He would be a dead meat by now. We still have eyes all over the city searching for him.

We will surely get him. I am going to kill him myself.

It's been two days since that girlfriend of his was locked up. That bastard hasn't made an attempt to come save her.

I really need to talk to Ace about her. She is not Luca. She hasn't done anything to us. She is just a victim of that puta's deeds.

We can't leave her locked up for long.

Ace has to show her mercy.

Minutes past and we are pulling up in the Russo brothers' mansion. It wasn't a hard one for us cause we took them off guard. There was firing here and there.

I shot one of the Russo rothers. Mario shot the other one. I gave a signal and the men invaded the whole mansion. We killed every single person in the mansion.

We head back to the cars and drive away.

I have been in this business for years. My brother made me his right hand man after teaching me how to fight and use guns.

One thing he isn't able teach me was his ruthlessness. He kills without mercy.

But I kill those who deserve to be killed. I can't harm the innocent. That's one ethic I can't change.

Try mess with Ace, and he will not only kill you but you and everyone that is connected to you.

I don't believe in such.

Ask me about our parents, they were not part of our lives that much. My dad died when I was seven. My mum was pregnant with our little sister, Iris then when he died. The minute she gave birth to Angelica, she left us.

She f*****g abandoned us.

Ace was nine and too young to take care of us. Aunt Isabella, our dad's sister took care of us. Ace started some illegal street work at age of thirteen just to support aunt Isabella in taking care of us. When I turned fifteen, I decided to join him in his work. Time past and we grew bigger.

Thanks to Ace.

Our mother abandoned us. Ace hates her face that. He hates her so much.

Way more that Angelica and I do.

Since that day she left till now, we haven't heard from her.

Except for months ago, Angelica told us that someone called her, calming she is her mother.

Ace was furious. He had to change Angelica line totally.

He doesn't want her anywhere near us.

He would kill her if she dare appear in front of us.

It's better she doesn't.

Because I will not stop him from killing her.
