The Mafia King's Deadly Returned

Chapter 4

I step down and walk directly in front of her.

I look at her coldly and say, “It was you, wasn’t it? The one who stood with Peter and watched me die?”

She shakes her head immediately, “N-no… no…”

Before she can finish, Xem suddenly lunges forward and slams his paw onto her arm. She screams in pain.

“Ahhhh!!!”

I glance at Xem, and he immediately steps back.

I start circling her slowly.

“You run a company that smuggles illegal sexually enhanced drugs,” I say coldly. “I have full proof.”

She stares at me in shock, unable to speak.

I continue, my voice dark and controlled. “I can shoot you right now if I want. With one signal, you become Xem’s dinner.”

I lean closer, “But I won’t give you an easy death.”

“I will take everything from you your name, your money, your fame, your respect.”

“I will break you so badly that you will beg me for death.”

At that moment, the lights suddenly go off.

A screen lights up on the wall.

A video begins playing.

Eva appears on the screen with a man in an intimate situation.

Her face turns pale instantly.

“Stop it! Turn it off!” she screams in panic.

I smirk coldly, “Imagine if your so-called audience finds out that you sleep with directors just to get film roles…”

She panics, “No!”

I grab her hair tightly and pull her closer.

“Abraham! Peter will kill you!” she screams.

I grind my teeth and tighten my grip.

“You bloody bitch… you were the one who chose money over love, weren’t you?”

“Today I have everything you once rejected power, money, control.”

She starts begging. “Please… forgive me… we can start a new life…”

I laugh coldly. “A new life? With you?”

I tighten my hand around her neck.

“Even thinking about it disgusts me, My purpose is to watch you suffer… slowly… painfully… until you break completely.”

Suddenly, a bodyguard runs in.

“Sir! Peter has kidnapped Ms. Annie and Mrs. Sarah!”

I freeze.

Eva suddenly laughs loudly, “I told you… Peter will take revenge. You are nothing in front of him!”

My expression darkens instantly. I shout, “Until I return… keep her under torture!”

Without wasting another second, I turn and walk out.

I arrive at the location as quickly as possible, tracking Peter’s signal to an open ground area.

My steps are fast, my breathing sharp, my focus locked on one thing getting Sarah’s sister back safely.

But the moment I step forward, my world freezes.

Peter is standing there with a gun in his hand… and Annie is in front of him, held at gunpoint.

Time feels like it slows down.

Sarah is already there.

She is shouting, her voice breaking with panic and rage, “If anything happens to my sister… I will kill you!”

Her hands are shaking, but her eyes are fierce.

Before I can even react, Peter pulls the trigger.

I don’t even think. I raise my gun and shoot instantly.

The bullet hits Peter’s leg.

“Ahhh!!” he screams, stumbling back in pain.

For a second, everything feels under control.

But then, Peter, despite being hit, fires again wildly.

My eyes widen.

The bullet is in the air.

I turn my head toward Annie my brain calculating a split second decision But before I can move Sarah steps in front.

“NO—!” I shout.

The bullet hits Sarah directly in the stomach.

“AHHHHHHHH!!!” Her scream tears through the entire ground.

My heart drops.

For a moment, I can’t breathe.

“Sarah!!” I rush forward, my voice breaking for the first time.

She staggers, holding her stomach, shock written all over her face.

I stand frozen for half a second pure disbelief turning into rage.

My eyes lock onto her.

I raise my gun again.

I fire.

The bullet hits Peter directly, and he collapses instantly to the ground.

But I don’t look at him anymore.

I run straight to Sarah, my hands shaking as I reach her, my voice breaking as I call her name, realizing in that moment that everything has changed forever.

Sarah collapses into my arms, covered in blood, her breathing weak and uneven. I immediately catch her, holding her tightly against me as panic takes over my entire body.

“Sarah… stay with me… don’t close your eyes,” I whisper urgently.

Annie falls to her knees beside us, crying uncontrollably, “Sis…! No… please no!”

I snap my head toward her, my eyes burning with rage.

“Don’t touch her, you bitch!” I shout. “Don’t come near her! This is all because of you!”

My voice is shaking with anger and pain.

“You brought this on her!”

Without waiting for any response, I pull Sarah closer into my arms, lifting her carefully as if the world around me no longer exists.

Her head rests against my chest, her blood staining my clothes, but I don’t care. My entire focus is on her.

“Sarah… look at me,” I whisper desperately. “You’re going to be okay… you have to be okay…”

I carry Sarah in my arms and rush her to the hospital. Her blood is already staining my shirt, but I can’t see anything except her face.

After some time, she is taken into the OT (operation theatre).

I stand outside in the corridor. My mind has gone completely numb. There is only one thought repeating again and again Sarah must be okay. Nothing can happen to her.

Suddenly, Annie comes running from a distance, crying and panicking.

“Please… let me go inside! My sister is in there!” she screams.

I immediately step forward, grab her hand tightly, and drag her to the wall. I pin her against it.

My eyes are burning with anger.

I say through clenched teeth,

“Don’t take a single step forward… understand? Don’t even think about going near my Sarah.”

Annie cries and says, “Please… let me go… I need to see her!”

I glare at her and shout, “This is all because of you!”

She looks shocked and says, “Because of me? I didn’t do anything!”

I grab her collar even tighter, “Why were you there? How are you connected to Peter?”

Crying, Annie says, “I wasn’t with Peter! I’m not on his side!”

I shout in anger, “Then how did Sarah get involved? Why did she get shot? Why?”

Annie says in a trembling voice, “She… she came to save me… you don’t understand!”

I say, “You caused Sarah to go there! If anything happens to her or my child… I will not spare you!”

Annie cries, “I didn’t do anything… please let me go… I want to see my sister…”

I slam her hard against the wall again.

“You will not go near Sarah in front of my eyes!” I shout.

Annie falls down and sits on the floor, crying,

“Please… she is my sister…”

I shout, “SHUT UP!!”

I am standing in the corridor my breathing is heavy my heart is beating so fast it feels like it will explode out of my chest. The OT door is still closed… and every passing second feels like an eternity.

The OT door slowly opens.

The doctor comes out. There is silence on his face that immediately makes my body go cold. He looks at me pauses for a moment.

My eyes are locked on him.

I ask slowly, “Sarah… is she okay?”

The doctor lowers his gaze. His voice trembles, “Sorry… King… we couldn’t save her…”

For a second, Just one second… the entire world stops.

My ears stop working… I can’t hear anything only one sentence keeps echoing in my head.

“We couldn’t save her…”

My hands start shaking uncontrollably darkness begins to cloud my vision.

And then, Something inside me breaks completely.

“WHAT…?” my voice cracks.

I scream at him, “WHAT DID YOU SAY?”

The next moment, I lose all control. The gun is already in my hand.

BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The doctor collapses to the ground.

Everyone freezes screams fill the corridor but I can’t hear anything. Nothing at all.

Only three things exist inside me now pain rage and a hollow emptiness that can never be filled again.

“NOOOOOO!!!” I scream at the top of my lungs.

I run towards the OT without thinking. My bodyguards shout behind me, but I don’t listen. My legs are shaking but I don’t stop.

I break the door and rush inside and what I see, My world ends right there.

Sarah is lying there wrapped in a white hospital sheet her face completely calm lifeless. Blood stains her hair her hand is hanging down.

I slowly walk towards her, I can barely breathe. I fall to my knees beside her.

“Sarah…” my voice breaks.

I take her hand… it is cold.

Tears start falling from my eyes nonstop silently. I hold her face in my hands… my fingers trembling.

“Wake up…” I whisper.

“Sarah… please… open your eyes…”

I gently shake her, as if she might still wake up…

“You can’t leave me like this… do you understand?” my voice shatters.

“I… I can’t live without you…”

I rest my forehead against hers… and for the first time… I am not a king… just a broken man.

My voice turns into broken sobs, “Please… Sarah… please… come back…”

“I will fix everything… just come back…” But there is only silence and I finally understand, I have lost her forever.

Night falls, I sit beside her Christian grave, holding a bunch of flowers in my trembling hands. In front of me lies a fresh mound of earth… where only silence exists now.

My tears don’t fall… they burn deep inside me.

I slowly place the flowers on her grave and whisper in a shaking voice, “You always used to tell me to control my anger to not lose myself in darkness.”

I take a deep breath, my chest heavy.

“Everything is over now… our unborn child who was supposed to come into this world is gone… you are gone… and I feel like I am gone too. I had stayed away from love… but your presence made me believe in it again… you made me believe in love.”

I place my hand on the cold soil, as if trying to feel her one last time.

“You thought I would change… and I did… I believed in love… I loved you.”

My eyes turn red, my voice slowly becoming harder.

“But look… now I am no longer in the light… I have gone back into the darkness you once tried to pull me out of.”

I clench my fist, “You were taken from me, Sarah… and whoever did this, I will not spare them.”

My face turns stone cold, but inside, a fire is burning, “I will find each and every one of them every name, every face and I will make them suffer so much that even death will feel like mercy.”

I lean closer to her grave, my voice even deeper now, “I will not just kill them, Sarah… I will break their souls. I will turn their tears into blood… and they will live every day dying inside, remembering you.”

I pause for a moment, my breathing heavy.

Then my voice softens into a broken promise, “Don’t worry…”

I rest my hand on the grave and close my eyes, “One day… we will meet again.”

“But before that… I will make every person responsible pay… even if it’s your own sister.”

I slowly stand up. My eyes are burning with unshed tears, but my face is now expressionless… like a king returning to darkness, “This is my promise to you.”

I pull out my phone and say, “Bring her to me… now.”

Without waiting for a response, I place the flowers back on her grave and walk away.

A short while later, I arrive at THE HELL again.

I step inside, My eyes are burning with rage as I look forward.

In front of me, Annie is tied with chains… crying, helpless, trembling in fear.

TO BE COUNTINUE...!!!
