A warm breeze and jewel-like sunshine touched Seiās face. Perhaps the window was left open, since a subtle noise flowed in.
Sei, who had buried her head in a pillow, opened her eyes in surprise. Last night, she couldnāt remember at what moment she had fallen asleep. She obviously was pressed under Yuri and was being kissed by himā¦
She frowned and stared blankly at the half-open window. Then she smelled the sweet scent of the familiar after-shave and got up in a hurry.
It was Giulio who sat on her bed. He leaned forward, pressing his elbow against his knee, and then narrowed his eyes.
āI had told you to keep an eye on him 24 hours a day.ā
Giulio was dressed neatly even in his suit, but his face was brimming with exhaustion from not being able to sleep all night.
Sei looked around the room, relieved that her attire was normal.
āI wasnāt feeling well. So I sat him in that chair to monitor him comfortably.ā
But the chair was empty. Giulio, seeing the chair Sei was pointing to with a bewildered expression, gently grabbed her chin and tried to kiss her.
Sei flinched and tried to shake him off. Then, as he stared at her as if enduring something, he pulled up the blanket that was covering her and tugged on her white, thin ankle.
āYou mustnāt bring another bastard into this room. Why would you bring in a bastard youāre not even familiar with? I knew something like this was going to happen.ā
Sei, who was caught in the ankle, struggled to get out of his grasp. But as he climbed onto the bed, he continued to speak, crushing her with his mighty power. āEveryone is curious about why I keep indulging you. Why I am keeping such an ill-mannered and cocky bad girl like you alive⦠Do you know what happened to the bastard who said these words to me yesterday?ā
The horror of that day replayed in her mind. The day she was almost strangled to death because she refused himā¦
āI cut off his tongue and threw it into the dogās food. Then I stabbed his eye with a knife. I donāt know if heās dead or alive, but he probably wonāt be able to live his life normally for the rest of his life.ā
āWhat the hell⦠Please stop it. Youāre scaring me.ā
Giulioās brown eyes looking down at Sei strangely quivered. He gently rubbed the corners of her eyes and suddenly lowered his head.
āThe FBI took Valentin Orlov.ā
āWhatā¦?ā
āThatās what I got to know. So, Iāll never show up to threaten you again,ā said Giulio, ruffling his neatly set hair as he went down from the bed.
She had a lot to ask.Ā Where is Yuri right now?Ā Just when she was about to ask what was happening, Romano grabbed her arm. Since he had been standing all along, he simply shook his head with a tired face.
After Giulio left the room, Sei asked Romano, āWhat happened? What happened yesterday?ā
Sei covered her mouth in surprise. Suddenly her heart started beating fast.
This must be a warning.
āAh, Lorenzo has been caught. Thatās why Giulio is in such a foul mood.ā
āLorenzoā¦?ā
āYes, I told that idiot to lose some weight.ā
With a deep sigh, Romano took a look at Seiās condition and went outside.
The mafia were criminals and were just garbage that needed to be incinerated.
Garbageā¦
Sei trembled as she remembered the face of Lorenzo who served her food and poured her wine. She knew she had to be calm, but it was hard as he was more generous to her than others.
Leaving her room in her slippers, she walked looking for a place where Yuri might have been moved. The faces of the members were dark because the shock of last night was quite large. Everyone was drinking since morning due to the somber mood.
Sei, passing by Giulioās room, looked into the wide-open room. Giulio, undressed, pulled out a cigarette, and said something to which a woman on the bed came down and buried her face in his groin. Looking down at the woman, he grabbed her dark hair and began to move his hips around. He thrusted his hips into the gagging womanās mouth and then brutally shoved his penis into her throat.
Then their eyes met. After stopping his movement, he glared at Sei with a beastly gaze, and then made the woman stand up and lay her face down on the table. Sei left as soon as he rammed his length into the woman.
The screams and moans of pleasure leaked out into the hallway and followed her persistently. Sei ran to the end of the hallway, holding back the urge to vomit, and found Stefan standing in front of a white door. She grabbed his arm without hesitation.
āWhereās Kais?ā
Stefan pointed inward with the tip of his chin in response to her question. In the room he pointed to, unlike yesterday, Yuri was dressed neatly. This was the only place in the house where wireless communication was possible and it was a place for the hackers belonging to the mafia organization.
But they hadnāt arrived yet. Soā¦
āGuilio⦠gave you this place?ā
Knowing Guilioās personality, her doubts were greater than her relief that Yuri was safe. As she approached, Yuri scanned Seiās outfit and covered her shoulders with the blanket that was lying on the armchair.
āYou must have been scared. Youāve been through too much yesterday, and you now appear to have been bled dry.ā
āI heard that Valentine was taken by the FBIā¦. Donāt tell me, theā¦ā
āIf Pablo had been a little smarter, he could have taken them all at once. What a pity!ā
Did he intentionally cause all that commotion?? Was it why Lorenzo was caught?
āYuri.ā
Seiās voice became cold.
āSei, we live in a world where the principle āIf I donāt kill, then Iāll be killedā is followed.ā
The man, Yuri Petrov, who read her mind, stared at her with a colder stare and continued his words, āYouāre sympathizing with the mafia. Donāt be silly. The end is all but ruined. We all know the answer.ā
