The Mafia Leader
Note: This scene contains intense cruelty and bloodshed.
[Eve cried for help. Daniel remained unbothered until he heard her jacket tear. His eyes darted to the man gripping her collar, ready to rip her shirt apart.]
Daniel (The Mafia leader)
.... !!! [His fists clenched tightly.]
Jose
I can't wait to see her tremble and break! This insolent woman dared to kick me!
Daniel (The Mafia leader)
[walks to him] What do you want to see?
Jose
You can't save her, buddy. If you want, you can join in and watch her get torn apart—
Daniel (The Mafia leader)
[He grabbed Jose's hair and slammed his head into another table, crushing the bottle beneath his face] See what!? Repeat it!
[The atmosphere in the bar shifted instantly, the drunken chatter fading as everyone turned to witness the brutal display, their eyes wide with fear and disbelief.]
Eve (Female lead)
[As soon as their grip loosened, she scrambled to her feet and rushed toward Daniel, stopping a few paces away from him.] Huh!! [She gasped seeing Jose's face]
Jose
Ahhhh.... Ahhhh... [he trembled, his hands reaching his bloodied face, glass pieces embedded in his skin. His vision was entirely destroyed, and he stumbled unable to find his footing]
Daniel (The Mafia leader)
And who was the one who ripped her jacket? [He asked, his voice dark and threatening.]
[None stepped forward. They felt their world freeze]
Bartender: [He pointed at the guy who ripped her jacket]
Daniel (The Mafia leader)
Good. Now leave the bar and lock it from the outside. This is your reward.
The bartender rushed out, followed by the fire performer, who begged to leave as well. Daniel dismissed him with a cold nod.
Daniel (The Mafia leader)
So... [He strode toward the man. His eyes cold, his presence commanding. The men, desperate to protect their leader, rushed toward him with knives and guns drawn.]
[As one man lunged at him with a knife, Daniel quickly sidestepped and pushed him into the table, knocking him down. Another man pulled out a gun, but Daniel grabbed a bottle from the shelf and across the gunman's face, disarming him instantly and stabbed him in the stomach with the broken glass bottle]
Jose
Wh-- what the heck is going on!!? [He moved aimlessly]
Daniel (The Mafia leader)
Fun! True fun! [He grinned as he felt the warm blood envelop his hand.]
[The fight grew more intense. Daniel knocked down anyone in his path, his predatory eyes locking onto the man who ripped Eve's jacket. He couldn't wait to get his hands on him and make him pay]
Eve (Female lead)
[Terrified, ran towards the exit, but it was locked. She stopped at the stairs leading to the party hall, trapped and helpless]
The man dropped to his knees, his voice shaky. "I'm... I'm sorry. Please! Please forgive me. I swear, I'll never lay a hand on any woman again. She came here on her own!" He tried desperately to shift the blame, his eyes pleading for mercy.
Daniel (The Mafia leader)
[He glanced at her with a mocking smirk.] She did, didn't she? A butterfly drawn to a filthy place. How pathetic. Are you trying to give up your wings and become a worm, crawling here, my butterfly?
Eve (Female lead)
[She gulped in fear, her throat tight as his words sank in.]
Daniel (The Mafia leader)
[He grabbed the man's collar, yanking him to his feet, his grip tightening]
whatever, I don't like seeing you walk around alive after laying hands on my butterfly. Just like others... You'll die. Maybe worse.
[Daniel scanned the area, his eyes landing on the fire performer's stage where the fire tube was still in place. Without a word, he dragged the man toward it.]
Daniel (The Mafia leader)
Shall we start the performance?
[what he did next made everyone feel horror. Daniel held the fire tube, igniting it. He pinned the man on the floor to ensure he couldn't escape. He held the fire tube in the man's ear burning him. The man screamed, desperate to escape, But Daniel tightened his grip, forcing him to stay in a place]
Daniel (The Mafia leader)
That's right! Scream! Scream as loud as you can! This is what happens when you lay a hand on her.
[His screams faded in seconds. His eyes and brain were slowly melting. Dark blood oozed out from his mouth. Once his skull was completely burnt and cracked open from inside. Daniel stopped]
Eve (Female lead)
[Eve sank down the stairs, her body trembling as her eyes locked onto Daniel in pure horror. The man before her was no longer human—his actions, his cold gaze, everything about him was monstrous]
Daniel (The Mafia leader)
she's mine! [he roared, his voice dripping with venom.]
She will bear my child. Anyone who dares touch what belongs to me will be erased from existence, regretting the day they were born into this world.
Daniel (The Mafia leader)
[He rose to his feet, tossing the fire tube aside with a sharp motion. His eyes locked onto Eve, seething with anger]. **How dare she wander into a filthy place like this!?** [His rage burned as he walked toward her, his every step a warning]
Eve (Female lead)
No! No! Don't come to me! Don't... please... [Eve stumbled back, her legs shaking, unable to support her as fear gripped her].
Please let me go... Please...
Daniel (The Mafia leader)
[His hand, which had risen to her face, stopped as he remembered her words: "Don't touch me." and his promise: "I won't lay a finger on you". His hand dropped to his side.]
Tell me, what are you? You said butterflies belong in gardens, while flies go to filthy places. So why did I find MY butterfly here? Were you planning on getting dirty? I told you, I need your womb for my child.
Eve (Female lead)
I was scared,I was scared that you'd... you'd force me to have your child. I can't have a child. Not with someone who isn't my husband. Not with a criminal like you.
Daniel (The Mafia leader)
C— [he sighed, shaking his head.] Mafia... [he corrected her.] **She brings my status down to lowly criminals? Seriously?**
Eve (Female lead)
I came here to find help... to find a bigger criminal who could stop you. So that he could shove you away.
Daniel (The Mafia leader)
Shove me away? Dear butterfly, do you even know who's in charge of the underworld? Who's recognized as the heir to it? Who holds the strings of its entire operation?
Eve (Female lead)
[She shook her head]
Daniel (The Mafia leader)
My father, Vincent, sits on the throne now. I'm officially the heir, but he's forbidding me from claiming it—he thinks I can't have a child. That's why I need you to bear my child, because I want my heir to be born from a pure womb, like yours. Even though he's in power, I control the entire underworld.
Eve (Female lead)
[Her eyes welled with tears. She felt trapped, with no escape]
[The attention shifted to the sharp click of the ignition gun. They turned in unison, noticing Jose, who had tripped over the fire performer's fire tube, pulling it out of its cylinder. He clutched the ignition gun tightly. The hissing sound of a gas leak filled the air, sending waves of panic through the room.]
Daniel (The Mafia leader)
That blind bastard! [Daniel banged on the door, but it was locked.]
Crap! [he shouted in frustration, his mind racing]
[Jose, still unaware of what he was holding, gripped the ignition gun tightly in his hands. The leaking gas hissed ominously, and the tension in the air thickened. His fingers tightened around the trigger, oblivious to the danger he was about to unleash.]
