I immediately ran towards bella limb body that had fallen to the floor, blood oozed out of her chest.

I couldn’t believe how stupid she was to die for this simp.

The now simp was horrified and staring at bella body like he had seen a ghost.

I carried her in my arms in bridal style and walked out of the room,

My guards saw me upfront when I came out with bella.

“Get the doctors here! Now!” I barked at them, while I turned to the ones standing at the door.

“Make sure he pays dearly for this. But keep him alive. I want to kill him myself.”

Then I carried her back to my room. The doctor came in no short time, and they began to treat her.

I kept pacing and watching as they did thier jobs.

I was used to seeing blood on people. But seeing so much blood on her made me feel uneasy.

I couldn’t quite place the meaning of it.

The doctors finally cleared the Mess, and had even put on a bandage for her.

However she was still unconscious.

“How’s she?” I asked him.

“She’s out of danger.” He told me. His eyes drifted from me to her, then back to me. His eyes held pity for bella. As though I had taken a gun and shot her.

I growled at him,

“Since your job here is done I suggest you get out!”

He let out a sigh. “I have let some prescriptions for the medicine. Try not to upset her or it would make her go into a critical condition.”

And with that he bowed his head and left.

I stayed with her after he left. She looked more like an angel as she slept. Her hair strands fell to her face. And I had the urge to remove it from her face.

But I stopped myself.

I felt angered that I was getting this way for her. She was no one. Just a means to an end.

That’s all.

I stood up to leave, and forced myself not to go back to check on her. Instead I assigned maids to do that.

Just to make sure she doesn’t fall into death in her sleep or something.

The next day I couldn’t resist the urge to go check in on her, and so I entered the room, to find the bed empty of her.

Panic set in as I searched the room. Then the bathroom. Where I saw her floating under the bath tub. With water surrounded all over her.

My flight mode went on as I immediately picked her out of the water.

Which she started coughing as soon as she coughed out.

While I let out a deep breath at the fact that she wasn’t dead.

But soon after my mood went black with rage.

She tried killing herself.

Again.

She pouted her lips with her eyebrows drawn in anger.

“Are you stupid?”

“Let go of me.” She said in a low tone. Her glare increasing as she stared at my hands on her.

I however didn’t remove it, I pressed pressure on it instead.

“Did you just tried killing your self?”

“And why is that any of your business?”

I took deep breath to control the anger that was reining in me.

“You’re my wife. So it’s my business if you try to kill yourself. Especially over a simp.”

“He is not a simp. He is the love of my life. Something you can obviously not understand cause you’re nothing but a cold monster.”

And just like that the patience in me snapped.

I dragged her out of the bath tub with her screaming everywhere.

I took the handcuff from the bed desk and cuffed her hands to the bed.

Then I used the some ropes and tied her legs.

She struggled all the while I did this, but it was nothing I couldn’t handle.

By the time I was done. Her face had filled with tears.

And something cut in me just from seeing those in her eyes.

But I ignored it and stomped out. Wishing to cool out before I did something like taking her against her will.

I went straight to the bar in my mansion and took the strongest wine.

I downed it in a second. While squeezing my hands tightly to calm myself.

“Wow. If I knew a wife would make you this way. I would have gotten you married years ago.” The familiar voice said from the dark side of the bar. When he stepped forward.

I saw it was my best friend Leo. A small smile appeared on my face from seeing him.

He went on a break for three months. And so it felt nice to see a relaxing face.

But I immediately wiped the smile. A leader is not meant to show weakness.

“Back so early?” I taunted.

“Like your bored ass didn’t miss me.” He said with a smirk as he sat next to me.

“I didn’t. There’s nothing to miss about you being a bug in my life.”

“Ouch. Well I missed you. Though I’m quite pissed that you have kept your life away from me. Like the fact that you got married.”

“So?”

“What happened to woman makes a real man weak?”

“She’s just a means to an end.”

“That’s not what the maid said. They said you’ve been unstable since she arrived at the house.”

I fisted my hands. “I pay them to work not gossip.”

“You can’t blame them. So fill me on what happened.”

I sighed and did so.

By the time I was done. Leo started laughing.

“Man! Your life has been so interesting. Im intrigued to meet her more than ever.”

A dark feeling of rage took me. As though he would try to earn her love like Matthew did.

I gave him a cut glare. “Go near her and I would kill you.”

“Ohhh.. feelings are involved.. now I must meet her.”

My eyebrow drew in even more and he laughed.

We talked a while. Till I received a call from one of my men.

“Your brother is at the brothel headquarter causing problems again.” He said at the end of the line.

While I growled. “I’m on my way.” I said and cut the call.

“Anthony is at it again.” I told Leo.

“Need help?”

“I can handle him. I just can’t handle the fact that his interference in the cartel makes me loose money.”

I stood up, feeling a bit tipsy and murderous. My sweet brother sure picked the wrong day to be an asshole.

Leo insisted on following me, so he tagged along as I sped of to the brothel.

We got there. And the head of my men. Alex came rushing to me.

“Welcome Don. He’s inside.“ Alex said in a breath.

I nodded and went inside.

And the sight made me almost black with rage.

Some ladies had been tied to dancing poles. While men stood with iron whips and beat their bodies.

Their cries and screams made my rage heightened, especially with the fact that Anthony sat with some troupe of men laughing at the sight.

“Enough!” I shouted and they stopped laughing, and the men stopped hitting the ladies.

The men seated around Anthony immediately froze in fear. Some where the even shivering.

While Anthony acted like he wasn’t bothered about my presence.

“I see you’ve come brother.”

“What are you doing?” I spoke in our Italian accent.

He responded me in English.

“I’m having few drinks with my men. Can’t I come in here for drinks?”

“You are having innocent ladies tied down to be beaten.” I snarled at him. Still in Italian.

“Don’t worry. These ladies here are from our debtors. They are simply paying their men’s debt. I didn’t touch the whores. I knew how important their Pussy are to the business.”

I fisted my hands even more tightly.

And resisted the urge to mess him face up with punches.

Instead I walked in a slow and intimidating pace.

“How many times have I told you that this is my kingdom. And before you go making stupid decisions. You come to me. Next time you try such stupid acts I will have your head cut off and fed to the dogs.”

His left eye twitched. Indicating that he was indeed mad but trying not to act upset.

“You forget that I’m elder than you brother.”

“You forget that I’m your Don. And Don comes before family. Don’t provoke me again.”

His left eyes twitched even more. But he didn’t do anything.

Not that he could.

I ordered my men to release the ladies and ensured that they got the proper treatment they deserved. And also little compensation for the way they where maltreated.

All the while, Leo had stayed in the car. I made him cause he could have made things worse if he followed me to confront Anthony.

We where now on our way home. When I received a phone call from the guards at home.

“Yes.”

“The captive has escaped.”

I palmed my hands over the sterling wheel.

“Which captive.”

“Mr Matthew.”
