On the

darkest night of January, a girl name Lana was on the

rooftop of the Lorenzo mansion. A cold wind of the night was blowing, which was

making her wavy silver platinum hair blowing across her face. She was looking down,

where a grand Bachelor party of her elder sister was going on. All of her family

member were present except her. Not aware of her surroundings, she was only

making scenarios in her mind ........ family scenarios, wishing that how great

and good it will be if she was with her family ? How lovely and lively it would

be ? But suddenly the reality hits her hard like a stone. She inhales the air

from her nose and exhales it from the mouth and looks up in the starry and

cloudy sky. Thinking about her life, fate, past, present and future, her train of

thoughts broke she felt a cloth on her nasolabial sulcus and she inhaled the chloroform,

within seconds she loses her consciousness. But she knows what will happen to

her, as it always happened to her. In this she was always been alone ………. And

this time too.

           Next day she wakes up, being tied on

a chair , her back was straight with chair , her legs were tied tightly by rope

, hands tied up to the chair’s back . It was not new for her . She was used to

it . At least she wasn’t tied to an electric cage this time . She looks around

the room , it was all dark and a slight light was coming from a very ,very

narrow window. She was looking around when she heard faint footsteps coming

towards her room . The door opens by a guard and a man of 6’6 walks in . The

slight light which was coming from the narrow window, showing that he was

dressed up all in grey and black . his deep black eyes were looking into her

blue ocean eyes , they were opposite to each other , just like east and west .

She was emotionlessly starring at him . her face doesn’t hold emotion at that

time , no shock , no fear , no

nothing …….. only an empty  face . this made the man in suite puzzled . He

ignored her and went  towards the sofa placed in front of her at

some distance . her emotionless eyes were continuously on him. He sat down like

a king and looked at her as if she was his slave or some kind of prisoner who betrayed

her king .

‘’ You

woke up sooner than accepted. ‘’

he says while taking the glass of expensive wine in his

hand, which was served by his guard . He looks back at her , her emotionless eyes

, face and silence  was making him

in confuse and at the same time angry . She didn’t reply him. She was silent .

‘’ looks

like you are deaf and mute .’’ he says while taking a sip from his glass after twirling

it, his eyes locked on her emotionless face .

‘’ Who

are you ?

‘’ her response was too dry for someone who has been kidnapped , she was

clammed and emotionless, and her voice was as cold as ice could be . for a

second he thought whether she was the princess of the famous mafia Lorenzo or

not .

‘’ nice

question . I have been often

asked by my prisoners. Well…..’’ he was cut by her cold and emotionless

voice .

‘’ Sylus

Giovanni

. I know you , my father’s greatest yet handful enemy . now pray tell what do you

want from me ?’’

she was brave or

she became like this …… emotionless freak , cold, rude and fearless.

The guards standing

there, thought that today was their last day on earth . the temperature of the

room fell at -22 degree Celsius .  For a moment, sylus thought to kill her

directly and give her dead body

to her lovely father and make things work on his way . but only if he knew that

even if he sends her bones without any meat on them, nothing would affect her family

. he pushed the thoughts aside . and continued his divulgation .

‘’ well

you know

everything about me, then let’s come straight to the point . I kidnapped you so

that your dear lovely betrayer father can come to me begging asking for your

life and I’ll end you in front of his eyes and he will cry the hell out of him

and bear the consequences of betraying me.‘’ he said while sitting in Steepling gesture and

smirking, he thought this would make her cry or will beg for mercy but her next

response make him all wrong and confuse.

‘’ he’ll

not come for me …… not now and never will. So, stop

with your stupid plan. ‘’she was emotionless, rude and cold. he looked at her smirking

‘’ then

I’ll make

him to do that. ‘’he said with a pride.

‘’ dream

on, Mr. ‘’she said

with a mocking scoff.

For a long

moment, stylus looked at her with bloodthirsty eyes

and after several minutes he smirks at her and sat back on the chair and drank the

whole wine in one sip.

‘’ let,

me tell you one good thing, La Fredda. Even if

your so-called betrayer father doesn’t come, then for sure I’ll make him come

by himself.’’ he

said in his most dangerous and cold voice. it wasn’t a false statement, it was

his WORDS. and sylus never go back on his words.

He got up

from chair and turn toward a guard who was an inch shorter than him but his

tattooed arm and his sandy colour skin was making him looking not less than

horror and pain.

      Lana kept looking at everything

emotionlessly. she knew nothing can stop, which she has to bear. she prepared

herself as she knows what is coming next.

‘’ treat

her in my way. Don’t go easy on her. record her

and send her video to her betrayer father’’

sylus was cold as ice. No one dared to cross him OR

dares to deny his command. he looked at her last time and went mout of the

basement with his guard, only two remain, that tattooed man and another person

. he commanded someone to THINGS. Lana closed her eyes to relax herself, and

told herself that it’s fine. Next when she opened her eyes there

was a pot in which red and orange blaze was making a crackling sound and a steel

rod was on it . its head was as hot red as red colour, indicating that it would

burn everything . the tattooed man brought that close to her, but Lana only

looked at him with emotionless eyes .  And the next moment he put that rod

on her upper right thigh . a painful wince came out of Lana, but she tried to

not to scream . she bites her on inner cheek, fresh raw blood oozes inside her

mouth and

on her right thigh, indicating that the wound was deep . the whole day passed like

that, Lana reached her limit, her face full of sweat and her body on fire due

to burning and pain . All the time she was recorded and end of the day  it

was sent to her father and stylus .

 Sylus took out his phone while plopping on the

bed and saw the video . for first time he met a girl who didn’t scream or

begged for life . her beautiful ocean eyes holds no life . she bared all the

pain without any tear, but at the end it was clear, she reached her limit and

lost the consciousness. Sylus watched the video over and over while thinking

about her that

‘’ what

made her like this ?’’

his train of

thoughts was broken by a call . he picked it up while sighing.

‘’ her

father has seen the video right away sir, but he didn’t call

or let his resources find her. And he isn’t in the town any more .’’

For a moment

sylus went blank and a line hit his mind

“Do whatever you want, but he will not

come for

me .‘’

For a

moment, he thought about what to do .

‘’

continue your

work and send men to find that betrayer . ‘’ his voice was cold and

dangerous. He cut that call . he couldn’t sleep that night and kept thinking

about her , her father and their RELATION.

Sylus pov:

It’s been 2 weeks . She has been in my

underground …… bearing all the pain. I have given her most cruel and painful

pain I could give and she bear it without any tears , cries and complain . I

never went to the basement in these two weeks but my guards did told me about

her. They also think that she is made up of some kind of hard metal but there

is something else ……. Something dark and painful.

   My thoughts were broken by a knock on my office door. I am currently at

my office’s third branch in Italy . It’s office is quite unique and according

to my taste. The architecture gave his best on this office and I really

appreciate that.

           ‘’come in ‘’ simple yet

commanding .

My most trusted guard Carlo came in

and stood serval feet away from the desk. He is handsome. Women usually like

man like him but he never gave a shit about women .

   ‘’Lorenzo has shifted to Italy indelibly. His elder daughter got

married to one of the sons of carter’s last week. His son is going out for

clubbing today with his friends. And Lana is unconscious as last torture kicked

in her badly. I don’t think she can survive if we keep going on with hard

torture.’’

   He said with rough, professional voice. I met Carlo when I was only 4

years old. His parents died due to an unusual death and I am damn sure he

chooses this field and profession just to find the culprit and his first doubt

is Lorenzo that’s why he hates his daughter to death. His icy structure and

rude behavior towards other is the only reason he is single till now. Despite

of the layers of his icy structure there is soft and nice gentlemen that only I

know as we both were raised together. our mother and father loved us equally

and they still do apart from our training our father always has a soft spot for

us. Even if he did something Obdurate, he always took us in his study and made

us sit on his lap. On one leg me and other Carlo and he would made us

understand with great patience and love as any other father would.

       ‘’ Good. Then I want his son tonight at my basement with Lana and

make him come for him. let’s see how long Lorenzo can keep up with his hide.

Good work deartháir beag. And about Lana . I don’t care about her let her like

that and make sure she doesn’t die. I want to see Lorenzo’s expression when he

see both of his children together.’’

    I

passed a smile to him and he smile at me to. Despite our parents were different

but we both were like blood brothers but we never showed it to world. Carlo went

on his mission and I went back to my work. I have a hell of work and here my

mind only kept repeating on one and only emotionless face. A low yet colorful

curse escaped from my mouth. I am damn sure I need distraction now. I dialed a

number on by phone and the person received it at first ring.

     ‘’ let’s have a match. 7 pm. sharp. ‘’I said with ordering tone.

‘’Is it an

emergency? ‘’ he said with a

sigh. I can clearly tell he got a date with his newly wed wife.

‘’ Yes.  Ettore Esposito. Be late and I’ll kill

you with my lovely stainless steel gun. ’’  I said with a groan. He knows how to

stretch the piss out of me.

1.    I heard a mocking laugh from him. After few

seconds he agreed and cut the phone. He better get ready in match as I am going

to make him lose badly today .  Ettore Esposito is one of my childhoods

yet Whizkid. Me Carlo and Ettore grew up together with same

school, college, university, major, class and even our roll call number were

after each other and ranks too. Sometimes I was first and both of them second

and third sometime they were second and first and I was third but this never

made us to be in competition. At the end of the semester, we used to go on

hiking and party at top of the hill or mountain. we many boys night, movie

night and also fights but they didn’t last long more than 5 hours because in

our trio one person would kick some sense in our mind and we patch up laughing

and roasting. Perks of having best friend.

        I was at Arcieri Della Signoria. One

of the famous clubs in Italy for archery. Ettore came just some time ago and

joined me we were aiming perfectly without talking. Even though we were silent

but sometimes our silence talks louder. If we both are silent, we never started

conversation unless we both spoke after taking out our exertion. Some people

find peace in boxing, clubbing and many others but I find in archery.my chain

of thoughts broke when I was handed my phone by my guard. Carlo’s name was flashing

indicating work has been done. I picked it up.

‘’

work has been done and Lorenzo already had send his men to search for his son.’’

He said in his professional tone ‘’I am on my way .’’ I cut the call and told Ettore

that came up. He insisted to come with me so I took him.

     In two hours, I was in London and in twenty minutes I was outside of my

base not in my basement. Both Lana and her younger brother was there tied by a

rope. It’s almost a month I have kept in my basement. I can clearly see all the

tortures on her body but no expression of pain, sadness, horror nor hurt can be

seen on her face. She looked at me with her same emotionless face. Her deep

blue ocean eyes held no life or hope. They were empty. I was staring at her

when Carlo told me that Lorenzo has arrived, I called him in and he entered

with his bodyguards and his P.A.

         He looked at me then looked behind. He

saw Lana first but I only saw disgust and pure hate. Lana do resemble him too

much her eyes are same as him. Some_

 ‘’ I knew there is someone in my house who leaking

information about my assists and personal life. Where is my son sylus give him

back.’’ He said with ordered tone. At the same time Carlo brought his son, tied

in a rope and duct tape on his mouth. I smirked by seeing the look on Lorenzo’s

face.

‘’ you have two choices.

First take your daughter and son and return my shares and leave your position

in mafia.

Second make you eldest daughter marry

to me and I’ll do whatever with her will be none of your business  and take shares, your son and your position

and never come back in my life . ‘’

Without thinking he choose second.

‘’ I can’t give you lily she married

and pregnant you can take that little betrayer behind you I don’t need a useless

ass in my family and life. Besides I hate to core. Now that I look at her you took

nice care of her and she is alive. She should have died on the spot she was born.

No, I should have killed her on spot. Whatever. Here is your money and that

mafia position you can take that position now that I am going to be grandfather,

I don’t want any hurdles and problem for my daughter lily. and yeah, do whatever

with this waste, use her and through her out, use her as a bed warmer, abuse

her and do whatever you want I don’t fucking care. I only want my son back.’’

 For a moment I thought I was listening or

imaging things can any parent hate his own child like that. I looked at Lana

her pale was face and her whole body was covered with ruthless bruises and

wounds given by my men and her clothes were covered in blood. Does not make him

hurt that her own daughter is in hell of pain?

  ‘’He will never come for me so, drop

your stupid plan Mr.’’ Lana words

rang in my ears. Now her words made perfect sense. I agreed to his terms and he

went away with his son without glancing back at his own flesh and blood. He didn’t

even bulged while looking at her.
