CHAPTER TWENTY

"You are nothing but a piece of shit, a fucking monster, all of you, and I hope you rot in hell. You know... I didn't get to finish my word when the sound of a gunshot resonated around the room, followed by the thud of a body hitting the floor.

A loud scream left my lips, and my body shook in fright as I watched the lifeless body of Fabian on the floor. His eyes were open, with blood pooling in them.

Everywhere instantly turned black, and I shivered in fear, my breath coming fast.

"You are the monster, the murderer, the murderer." The voice echoes, and I sob out, terrified. The sound of gunshots follows.

I woke up with a start when I heard the sound of something hitting the floor, shattering into pieces, and I jumped off the bed, shaking violently. My body felt sluggish as I swung to the side slightly.

My eyes were blurry with sleep, and I had to blink a few times to get myself accustomed to the lights. When I could finally see, I let out a sigh. Zoey was standing there with a guilty look, giving me a sheepish smile.

"I'm so sorry for scaring you." She was apologetic, placing a tray of food she held on the table before looking down at the shattered piece of a vase that had once been placed on the table. "You have been asleep all day, so I thought I would bring you dinner since you haven't had anything."

I only nodded because I couldn't bring myself to form any words. I was still trying to calm my racing heart.

Zoey's eyes scanned my state, looking deep into thought. It was like she was trying to figure out what was wrong. She takes in a deep breath, carefully walking towards me and taking her seat on the bed.

"You look like you had one hell of a night. Your face seems puffy, and your eyes are red." She called out. "Did you perhaps cry?"

"I just didn't sleep well." I responded, avoiding her gaze. Last night's ordeal still clouds my mind.

"You seriously look like a mess."

"I feel like a mess." I confessed with a groan. My head was aching and my eyes felt like they were burning, not to mention the pain I was feeling from Sin's spanking.

She takes a hold of my hand, giving it a light squeeze.

"Last night must have been quite a scare for you." She says this with a creased brow. "You are probably blaming yourself for what has happened, but Fabian's death isn't your fault. It's going to take some getting used to, but Fabian definitely deserved what he got.

I was surprised by her words. I knew she had been in the mafia family for a long time, but hearing her say Fabian deserved what had happened to him didn't sit well with me.

"Just because we had our differences doesn't mean he deserves to die. "No one, absolutely no one, deserves to have their lives snatched away from them." Zoey could very well tell my reaction, and she sighed, running her fingers through her hair.

"I get that you see the best in people, Mani, and I admire that about you. But a scumbag like Fabian doesn't deserve your pity. You have forgotten that you are in the presence of the most ruthless mafia family in the world. That is, everyone here has taken a life and done far worse than you can imagine. So trust me when I say that Sin's taking out a man like Fabian did the world all a favour."
