TW: violence included

a/n:
Sorry for late update. I am struggling with offline exams and studying new chapters that I found recently.

MY WHOLE WORLD collapse looking at the person wrap in white shroud with blood spots on it, my brother, Simon. I slump down looking around with bloodshot eyes watching my mom hugging my dad and crying violently. Now I got to know as to why my family never allowed others to know who I am. Looking at the corpse placed right in front of mine I understand their reason.

"Romano." My dad grits out. My brows squint into deep thoughts trying to figure out the surname. My brain did it's job as my eyes wide acknowledging our rival's name pouring out from my father's mouth. With shaking legs I stand by pulling out my dagger as I slice my palm oozing out blood. I tell calmly, "I, Phoebe Yardly, commit my life to kill the person who murdered my brother. I won't rest until I know my hands are dipped in blood of theirs. They need to know with whom they took the position to be a rival."

My mother's eyes shot open worries lieing on her face. She adamantly tries to flee from my father's clutch but he doesn't allow her to. She yells at me, " You can't. No, I won't allow you to. Victor, look what she is saying? I already lost one and I won't allow another to flow the same boat."

With tears trailing down my face I sob as I reply back, "How can I allow the person who killed my brother and staying alive?" I furiously wipe my tears glaring at the tomb soon place behind the cemetery. "I want the same pain they inflicted upon us and I am sorry to say this but I won't stay calm not when they are still breathing alive."

Somehow mom free herself and runs towards me slapping me. "Are you stupid? How can you say this?"

My dad rushes towards us and holds my mom, "Cecilia, let's do our son's funeral first and then discuss this matter in our house, okay?"

She glares at me struggling to get away from his grip but that all went in vain. Dad looks at me and gives me a small nod while I nod him back.

His body is now inside the coffin while we are dressed in complete black. My mom tries to stop the people from digging the pit to insert his body while I stand away from them trying to promise myself that this will be the last one to be held. I vow my life to safe them after my brother's death.

My mom is now taken care by dad's family. Dad strides towards me standing beside. "Are you ready to start a new chapter in you life?"

I cross my arms and said determination reply, "More than anything."

He looks at me giving me a small nod.

Now my only mission is to fucking kill the Romanos.

I bandage my palm which is now filled with dry blood. My dad comes from behind and says, "Hello, my daughter." I sigh forcing out a smile telling, "Hello."

"I know what you are thinking Phoebe, not only you but I do too want to have revenge against those inhuman. But before doing that we need a plan and also this should be hidden in front of your mom. I don't want to make her feel more devastated as her emotions are now deteriorated."

I nod my head as he places a file on my lap and says, "Read this file, 401 which will give you a full accessory about our rival's son Stephan Romano."

"But how do you know it's them?" I look down at the file place in the bed.

He sighs opening his phone and showing me the surveillance recording where the guy I met earlier appears none other but the son of Romano.

"I was with him that night. Shit. I could have saved my brother before he took care of his plot."

He places a hand on my shoulder squeezing lightly in a comfort manner. "None of these are your fault. You didn't know him at that moment and I guess it's partially mine too."

I curl my fingers into fist trying to calm down my nerves before ripping the stupid file instead, I give him a slight nod. "Let me analyze them alone." He does the same gesture and walks away leaving me in the pool of shame.

How come I become so blind to ignore certain shits?

I sigh flipping the cover of the file but soon my eyes melt when those similar grey orbs again bewitch me. The same eyes whom I met last night. Those stormy grey orbs which makes me shiver in delight.

He has those sharp jaws edge at his oval face curtain by those curly chestnut hair. The toned muscles urge me to enter inside the photo and touch them. His royal blue tux firmly held his body as he sits on the giant couch welcoming me to straddle on his lap. Fanculo What am I thinking? Focus Phoebe. These are all a fake facade.

And then I start reading his profile.

We tried to gather as much information as we can from the journalist and other social media platforms, also by some private research to establish whether the rumors are true or not. We hope you are satisfied after reading this.

Stephan Romano or in mafia world he is known as Killer. 'Killer' in the sense, as he never once showed any sympathy upon his enemy, a few of them even don't know who he is or they gets confuse about Stephan to be Killer by his charming attitude. He kills them brutally. One of the most famous information gathered from an English newspaper 'The Telegraph' it is said that-

'Killer' according to them, was given the name when they found the dead corpse of the famous businessman 'Alexander West.' On 23th April 20XX in North East Street 204, they found his dead body in a way they had goosebumps evolving on their skin. His head was banged repeatedly about hundred times for which he had brain hamerage and caused internal bleeding. His fingers were cut off and thrown around him. Later on his body was dumped aside the gutter and there was an infamous name imprinted at the back of his body, 'Killer.'

For them 'Killer' is a psychotic person that needs medication to cure but in mafia world he is Stephan Romano who took revenge against Alexander as he killed their business before establishing. He was just 14 years old at that time but soon got the privilege to be a reknown cold-hearted bastard. Valentino was proud as he was pleased by the workload given to him.

He is still the renown artist everyone thinks about him but in reality he is a monster who consumes his beastly behavior by galloping blood from people. Women think he is handsome, for which it made even much easier for him to use them and later throw them like they were gutter to him.

He has many rivalries he gave birth since he entered and one of the most famous rival is the Yardly Family. It's just like they had a tradition imprinted against them to fight. It's said that when Yardly recently joined the mafia world, they encounter some heavy gold loans. Their first gold loaner was from the Romano Family but then due to some misunderstanding held between them which was found out later done by 'Rizzo'.

Well coming back to the main topic which is Stephan Romano. He built up his own empire when he was just 17years old and now not only he owns an art exhibition but he is also a businessman, he owns approximately 4 to 5 hotels, 10 to 15 restaurants and 20 to 22 clubs.

His childhood as per to the rumors spread was not great. A child who was bright in playing piano and could have been his greatest achievement was trashed by his family. His dreams were soon got crashed underneath the big mafia responsibility. It's even rumored that his grandmother's paralysis was caused by him.

Later on 10. 02. 20XX, he tried to search for a female through the given information and the most thrilling fact was that the woman had piercing dark shade of blue eyes accordingly to Mr. Romano. But after 3 years the searching procedure ended and everyone forgot about the matter.

This is the summarized information and I hope you accept it.

𝐐. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧?
𝐀𝐧𝐬:- My attitude against them doesn't justify anything. They are born with the power to justify men. They are born to please men. Always remember when men throws at you his concentration then know you are worth it but if you just seduce them then only one thing erupts inside their head and it's the word that's starts with f and ends with k . It's not our fault that women throw themselves upon our laps and we need our hormones too to calm so we do what we need to at that period and I won't change my attitude against them.

𝐐. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭?
𝐀𝐧𝐬:- Painting is a part of my life where my art exhibits what my words can't. It's just a satisfaction that needs inside me when my mind is heavy with loads.

𝐐. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐛𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧?

She should know how to lift herself when I am not there, she should be able to accept for who I am but I don't need her to be that women who will only be best in bed and worst while coming out from our room.

I closed the file while my whole mind brings to one thing - it's not possible that he might kill my brother. I don't know why but the way his position is, tells me that my brother wasn't killed by him. My brother was shot at his heart and died. If Stephan would have done that he would do that brutally. I sigh rubbing my face and slide my palm over my hair.

But then I remember I have seen those grey eyes before, the dates are somehow similar to Tobey Norton's date of death. How come I didn't see hi- Wait I saw him yes yes yes I had seen him. Fanculo, how can I forget those grey eyes which belong to none other than the stranger whom I bumped aka Stephan? Later the same eyes I met last night. I saw him so close yet I didn't kill him.

My heart flutters looking at the photo where I unconsciously smile at the pic.

"Aww my daughter is liking someone." The voice make me jerk and the file fall down but the picture of Stephan holds firmly between my fingers but along with him there are other photos who will work with me so I slide Stephan in middle of the rest.

"Mama, you are literally going to kill me one day." I say while rolling my eyes.

"Yeah, yeah atleast I am glad Victor made love to me again or else I would have grief upon my son." With that she sighs and tears leak from her beautiful brown orbs. I hug her and say, "I am here for you and no one I mean it mama, no one will take me away from you. I already lost many years living away from you."

To change the heavy environment around us I say, "Lets watch something like your bf movie." I elbow my mom playfully making her face flush. Oh Brad! What have you done to my mom?

"Oh come on if your dad gets to know I am sure there will be no television only melodrama ." We both chuckle at our silly jokes. I stand up from my chair placing the photos on the glass table in front of the couch and walk towards the tv adjoining the pen drive where a random movie is going to take place.

When I walk back to my earlier place I find out that mom is holding Jason's photo in her hand with her eyebrows furrowed.

"Who is he?" She asks. I sigh in relief knowing that she didn't get his photo. I say, "Jason." Her eyes fill with confusion..

"He is my new bodyguard." I continue.

I chuckle and nod my head while she said " Oh my God! Don't tell me he is your boyfriend." I fake gag shaking my head.

"No,not that it's that, I shall blame you for reading those stupid novels."

She gives me a duh look and click on the play button, "Come on woman. You do know that the fictional character are the best ones. They give those thrills that real life can't offer us. You should look at your father's face whenever I bring up any fictional character, like a dead lily his face crushes down. But now I guess you too should fall for these characters or maybe get a boyfriend."

"Mama." I whine as she laughs saying, "All the best for your journey and I promise I won't say anyone not even my own hubby about your love mission. Always remember I will be always there with you." I cjucllr shaking my head. Those stupid fellas of love won't be done by him that's for sure and loving my enemy, I will inhale heavy heroin than falling in love.

"By the way your choice is not bad lady." She says as she looks down the photo of Jason. Oh God! Where did you find this woman to pour me inside her womb?

"Fine, let's call this off and watch your bf movie. Let me order the maid to bring the popcorns." I say while she gives me a small nod. The condition is too cold so I walk to no pink but dark brown wardrobe and pull out a blanket for both of us and press the on button beside my glass and order, "Hello Alisha, order the maid of this house to make popcorn for us."

"Your wish is my command."

I chuckle at it's response and land my butt on the couch where I place the blanket around my mom's body and walk across the room to turn the light into dim. After a few minutes a maid comes and gives me the popcorn bowl and walks away.

"How come I never knew you went there and gave order?"

I giggle looking at my mom's face and say, "It's AI I mean Artificial intelligence tech and as the house also supports the high tech is suitable for me to pass down the orders. Simple mama."

"Well then remember obesity soon will be the utmost problem in the upcoming generations." She says and I smile saying, "Not if they maintain their own health mama."

"Fine, let's watch. I know Brad is waiting for me to showcase him my beautiful face." She whines and I laugh.

Suddenly, Alisha speaks, "You have a notification."

"Show me." I whisper trying not to interrupt my mom who is now in a better mood.

"Yes."

"Hello Phoebe, it's me your papa. We found out who was the one who killed Simon." With that my fingers clutch into fist and I stand up abruptly sliding down the blanket from my body while my mom looks at me and asks, "What happen?"

I look at her and tell, "Well I think my periods came. I am going to check and order the maids to bring the pads for me."

She looked at me and says, "Okay but I am going to watch the full movie no fortune disturbance." I chuckle at her and peck her cheeks and say, " Fine."

I walk down the underground passage where my dad keeps his prisoners. I just hope nothing gets under my flip flops. I reach my destination and find the man laying down beneath his blood.

"Con gli è successo? (What happened to him?)" I ask dad. He turns around and then I find out the reason as to why the blood is pouring out from the culprit. My dad is holding a strong leather whip which is now drenched in culprit's blood. I just need to roll my eyes.

"Cosa vedi figila?" (What do you see daughter?) Dad asks.

I stride toward him and snatch the whip from him. "When you gave me the responsibility of killing people who killed mine, I think it even means that I get the opportunity of killing the culprit, right papa?" He eyes match the evil gleam like mine. He nod his head and bent down a little to whisper near my ear, "Make sure I hear some music." I smirk at him and nod my head in acceptance.

"So my dear culprit tell me why did you kill Simon?" I ask lifting him up through the fist of his hair and making him sit on chair.

"I can't tell you." He says. Why people have to be so committed towards others?

I laugh at his statement slapping him across his face causing him to jerk towards right." Now tell me Peter Porter who send you here?"

He laughs through his ridden teeth and says, "Do do do y-" he again laughs. Did someone gave him laughing gas? Suddenly my eyes flicker at the back witnessin few amazing things there. Different types of knives.

I walk towards the counter examining each one by lifting them up, finally I landed on the butcher's knife. I turn back and slowly walk towards my earlier position but now I carry a chair along with me by dragging it making the room fills with the scrapping noise. At last I go there and sit down looking at him and then at the knife but in reality Alisha is working about his data for the given time.

"David Cabello, right hand of the Don, Xander Serrano. Married to a low caste family's daughter name, Rita and now bears two little cute daughters name Lucia and Gioia. Right my Peter Poter?" I ask him with a smirk on my face causing his eyes to wide.

"Alisha create an illusion of his family here and make it look like they are going to die." I murmur lowly as it replies back with yes.

"Bring that little family package here." I order and then the illusion starts making my little David to panic.

I mimic his heart rate by placing my hand on my chest and act like I am having a panic attack.

"Now see my dear Peter Poter tell me who sent who or else-" I whisper standing close to him with my head bend down near his face placing the butcher's knife at his heart.

"Please please leave my family." He requests with tears streaming down from his so called eyes.

"Then tell me." I shout at him while he shakes his head.

I take the knife and forcefully cut deep his right arm which made him shout which making a pleasant beat for me. "See, it will be the same like your kids who barely knows how to speak properly. So tell me Mr. Cabello who sent you to kill Simon? "

He still keeps his mouth closed. Why are you making it so difficult man? I whisper to Alisha " Show him that his wife too got killed." Alisha replies, "Ok."

His eyes wide when his wife Rita is being sliced across her throat, her eyes bulge out from her socket. "No. Please leave them. I will say I will say." He said and I smirk at him. Oh boy, at last you got right on your track.

"Then shoot."

But the name destroyed everything I thought about that person. He whispers, "Stephan Romano. "

I clutch the knife tightly making sure my knuckles turned white and lift it up and slice it across his throat.

"Che cosa ho intenzione di fare con te?" I ask myself.

(What am I going to do?)

∞

"So what are you going to do daughter?" My dad asks. I wash myself and burn the clothes not interested to show them to my mom. When I went up I found her sleeping and then placed her properly on the couch and covered her body with a thick blanket.

And now I am here talking to my father about the various plots to kill Stephan Romano yet a part of me says he didn't kill my brother. God, I didn't talk to him yet I am taking a stand for him.

"I know what I am going to do papa but at first I need a little more private information about that bastardo's life. So, I am thinking of kidnapping his right-hand man Diego Conti. He will arrive soon in Sicily and I am going to pleasure him with my game." I say while playing with my nails.

"Bene." He says and now my plot is ready to kidnap that idiot and gallop some information about my prey.

"By the way how come you did the 3D effects here?"

I turn back to look at him, "Well last day I came here and connected the wires that got connection with my device. So, after a good check up I created the graphic project."

He pats my shoulder, "Proud of you."

I beam hugging my father as he hugs me back.

TikTok tik tok I am coming my dear precious prey.
