The Broken Soul- A Tragic Love Story

CHAPTER 4

Alrigo's POV

Only 10 mins left. With every passing minute, my anger was rising like a volcano ready to erupt at any moment and it's because of that b***h. The door opened and a smirking Archer entered. They found her. And then Arsenio and Valerio entered holding her by her arms.

There was she so innocent; small; timid; scared; her face covered in sweat, tears, and fear. Her eyes not daring to look up. Her whole body shaking. If the boys had left her, she would have fallen right there on the floor. That's a nice idea especially when her family is here too.

"Leave her" and like always without a second thought, they followed my command. As expected, she collapsed on the floor. Poor floor.

"Archer bring her to me....and hold her very carefully with lots of love....by her hair." He for a second looked at me; requesting not to do it now but she had insulted me in front of everyone so she deserves the same. Archer knew there was no second appeal others didn't have first too; so, he did as told. As she was weak, he had to use greater force which meant more pain. He lifted her and she screamed. That scream was like music to my ears. Welcome to the paradise b***h. He dragged her to me. Once she was in front of me, he left her. I lifted her chin up, her eyes were so beautiful; had she not done all this I would have surely complimented her but never mind. "Mr. William twirling, earlier we had decided to get engaged today like until your daughter decided to play cat and mouse." "Alrigo if you want to cancel this." "But now I'm going to marry her today". There was a pin drop silence. No questions nothing. In the next 30 minutes, we were married and she became Mrs. Andria Alrigo Acerbi.

Andria's POV

So, it's done. I lost again, but this was the biggest defeat. A life taking one as a matter of fact. There's no hope of survival left. I'm married to Alrigo Acerbi, the mafia king. Maybe; maybe had I not ran away he would have treated me a little better but now I have no hopes, I actually never had any but this was beyond expectations. Though I had expected him to kill me at that moment itself but I guess he had much severe plans. Maybe I don't even deserve a peaceful death now. I was sitting in a car but he was not beside me instead the man who caught me by my hair sat beside me and the two who held my arms were in the front. I guess he was too disgusted by me to be in the same car as me.

"I'm sorry" I heard someone say. I was literally shocked. Nobody said sorry to me, my apology wasn't required, and especially after what happened today hearing a sorry was the strangest thing. The words were said by the person sitting beside me, I didn't say anything, I couldn't say anything, the fear had choked my throat. I guess he understood and continued. "I'm Archer; the second in command and they are Arsenio and Valerio the Capos. I'm sorry for today's behavior but what Alrigo says has to be followed. You shouldn't have to run." "I was scared" his eyes turned sympathetic. "Everything will be fine but don't do anything wrong now, follow his commands blindly, I'll try to talk to him but can't promise. But whenever you need something you can ask me, I'll help you in every way possible but of course I'm helpless when it comes to Alrigo." And with that, he went silent.

I glanced at the other two and they nodded their heads my attention shifted back to Archer. "Can we be ffriends" what!!! Did I?? Did I actually said it; even his eyes had widened but soon were back to normal, he faced me and a small smile appeared on his face "sure Bella" I smiled back. At least I have a friend in hell. Even if he wasn't a close one but at least held some kindness; I hoped for the best though I knew nothing that's going to happen would be good. But still, there's no harm in hoping. Right.

"We have reached the estate," Arsenio announced, I tried to glance but couldn't clearly see anything because of the huge black gate. It opened and my eyes went wide in awe. It was the prettiest thing I had ever seen. The mansion was prettier than that you see in fairy tales. It looked like heaven. It was heaven. Paradise. But for me??

Alrigo's POV

She stepped out of the car. She looked so gentle and beautiful having no idea about her fate. Not even her dear savior; my second in command knew what's his queen going to face. This is the reason I came early. To prepare for her welcome; which she's surely going to love. I went to her. Her fingers tightened around the hem of her dress, her face filled with anxiety and fear. "Welcome," I said calmly, Archer stared at me first with shock and then with contentment. Stupid fellow. I held her hand. "Let me show you your room." I took her to the first floor and saw Archer's face changed from happy to horrified, I like it, I now started to drag her, my fingers burning into her skin and she was again screaming. Had there been an award for deafening someone, she would have definitely won it. I opened the door to the "the t*****e chamber" it was the place where I tortured my female enemies. Spending a day here means forgetting yourself. "You got to be kidding" Archer screamed. He'll surely give her a nice competition in the deafening competition. "Take him away" and the soldiers captured him. I threw Andria to one of my men, “tie her". Within a few minutes she was tied to the chair.

She was trying hard to free herself and this was just beautiful cuts on the fragile hands, poor girl. Arsenio and Valerio were right beside me but they didn't have the courage to stop me and the one who did was already getting punches in the other room; being friendly with an enemy isn't good right.

"Shhh...poor kitten; you scared ha.... don’t worry, I won't kill you.................because I'll do worse." Her eyes widened in fear, she has no f*cking idea what I'm up to. "Get it now." and Lucas entered with a big box and a devilish smirk present on his face. He too wanted her to learn a lesson just like me.

"Sprinkle" and there it was 100's of rats or I should say really very hungry rats moving on Andria biting her body parts, scratching her. A perfect meal for those innocent creatures. Her shrieks and cries filled the mansion, Arsenio and Valerio's eyes were widened in fear and pain. "Turn off the lights" " plzzzzzzzzzzzzz no don't.... ahhhhhhhh......" the lights were turned off and I locked the room, " nobody opens it without my permission. Lucas stay here and don't let anyone open it." I said eyeing my two capos and then went to my second in command.

"Leave" I said to the soldiers who were now on the floor. Poor soldiers, they needed medical help. "What did you do to her?" He shouted again. God, they are really after my ears. "Relax I didn't kill her," I said in a calm voice. "Alrigo what did you do" "she's my wife so stop showing this f*cking concern" "she's our queen" "your queen is having a party with the rats and if you dare to go and open the door, she'll face worse. And I swear she will." Archer gave me a disgusting look and went out of the estate.

Even I was tired of all this s**t so I decided to go and take a nice nap.
