The Outlaw

My hands are completely tied, if my Lilith and her sister wouldn’t have been captured, I would have slaughtered each and everyone who dared look at my precious’ way. But all I could do now and follow that scum’s order. It really annoys me, makes me feel powerless, like how I used to be.

I hate it, I hate this feeling.

Not only did he kill my brother,, now he even dared to touch my lilith. I’ll make him regret ever being born. But for now I need to calm my nerves and asses the situation.

The man made me stop the car in the middle of the forest and now we are walking deeper into the forest.

“I am surprised that you are still alive!” I said cockily looking at the man who still had the gun to my head even though he was shaking like a leaf.

“Shut up and walk” he growled in anger, ah I touched a nerve.

“i wouldn’t exactly call you lucky to be alive after all seeing the people you cared for die right in front of your eyes!” I joked stretching out my arms.

He hit my head with the back of the gun, “IF IT WEREN’T FOR YOU, THEY ALL WOULD STILL BE ALIVE. MY BROTHER WOULD STILL BE ALIVE!!!” he cried in anger, his shaking increased by every word he spout.

He sobbed making me chuckle internally, so there ain’t many left.

“poor thing!! you really think that a handful of you are enough to take me down?” I pouted coyly bending to his height.

“the six of us are enough to rip you apart!!”he growled at me, his eyes glowing with the fire of vengeance.

I scoffed humorously as we walked, in a few minutes a warehouse came to view.

We quietly made our way inside the shabby warehouse, the men all there snarled at me in anger as we passed them. I had to fight off the urge to rip their throat out but I shook my animal instinct away.

“Welcome to my humble home, mio caro nipote!” (my dear nephew) his voice rang throughout the warehouse, in a split of second all my past traumas and sufferings came rushing back in. The rush of anger that flooded me that instant made me forget of the situation as I charged head on towards the man who ruined my life.

A gun shot rang in the empty warehouse followed by a cry of pain that made me freeze mid step. My head snapped towards the source of the sound, Lilith laid on the ground hollowing in pain, “I wouldn’t suggest that.” the man who shot my Lilith grinned at me.

“non sei cambiato un po’!” (you haven’t changed one bit!) Andre mocked me coming closer to me.

“ancora troppo emotivo. Questo è ciò che ti ha condannato prima.” (still too emotional. This is what doomed you before.) he said standing right in front of me.

“e farà ancora!” (and will do it again) he whispered in my ears.

I was trembling in rage, “What the fuck do you want?” I snarled at him. He looked at me smugly, “To have what rightfully belongs to me!” he said the smile on his face turned into a frown.

“give me back the Martera gang and you can have you little girlfriend back… fair trade? You value her life more than the underworld throne.. nobody has to get hurt this way” he elaborated with a smile on his face. His words just fueled my rage, “So all the damage you did, my brother you killed,, was just to drive me here?” I asked in anger trying really hard not to look at him in the eye.

“eccellente! But one minor mistake, the value of you brother and your plaything is greater than throne for you.. so I had to eliminate one of them. It just wasn’t your brothers day!” he said nonchalantly as if he is talking about the weather.

“YOU BASTARD!! YOU KILLED MY BROTHER TO GIVE GROUNDS TO YOUR DELUDED PLAN!” my tears couldn’t be stopped, they just rushed out without my permission.

“Precisely!” he clapped his hands cheerfully.

“Now it will be easier for me to kill the all of you here but I am feeling specially generous today so just sign the throne to me and you can walk off with you little girlfriend and her sister unharmed!” he said.

“But boss! What about our brother he killed?” the man who brought me here asked frantically

“Eh! People die everyday!” he waved his hands like it was nothing.

“The only reason we went along with your plan was because you promised us revenge!” another man stepped in looking at Andre in anger.

“Well I lied!” Andre said chuckling lowly, “I need him alive!”

“we want him dead” the man said through gritted teeth.

“Frankly I don’t care. Since you’re no use for me..” Andre pulled out a gun and shot two of rebels.

“Now shut it before I kill more of you!” he growled at them then looked at me.

“the longer you take to sign the more agony you little girlfriend will be in!” Andre said throwing a paper and a pen at me. My eyes automatically shifted towards Lilith who still is hollowing in pain, “SIGN, FAST!!” he growled at me as another loud cry from Lilith came.

The man over her stabbed a rod in her leg, “Fucking assholes!! I’ll kill you” Lilith cried cursing the man.

“Sign if you don’t wanna see her dead!” Andre growled at me pointing the gun at Lilith.

I glared at him as I signed the damn papers, “I’ll kill you bastard. I swear I’ll kill you for hurting my family!” I growled shoving the papers in his hands as I made my way towards lilith.

“You can go now. I have no use for you!” he said joyously looking at the paper as I cuddled lilith in my arms, “Where is Layla?” I asked looking the the man who tortured lilith. He nodded at the back where a feeble silhouette hug unconscious from the wall.

“Hey faggot! You thought I’d just let you leave so easily?” Andre said making me stop in my tracks.

“you are the biggest hurdle to my success” I could hear his footsteps approaching.

Just as I was about to turn a bat swung at my face. I rolled over on the floor dropping Lilith, fucking asshole! I should have know he’d pull such tricks. This bastard will never change.

“You’re too naive!” Andre said towering over me, he swung the bat at my stomach making me gurgle blood. He was about to swing at me when I caught the end of the bat and pushed it to the side making him fall on the floor.

I snatched the bat from him and started bashing at his randomly, “YOU BASTARD!! HOW DARE YOU LAY YOUR FILTHY HANDS ON MY FAMILY?!” i couldn’t think straight, my demons had taken over me.

“STOP YOUR NONSENSE OR I’LL KILL HER!” the man’s voice came who was torturing lilith. I looked at him, he was kneeling to the floor my lilith in his arms. i was about to charge towards when lilith opened her eyes and did the last thing I’d expect from anyone.

She grabbed his wind pipe with her teeth and tore it off, “Fucking kill those bastards!!” she yelled at me taking the gun that laid on the floor and shot the dying man. MY QUEEN.

The other two left alive were frozen in shocking, witnessing the gruesome scene. Taking this opportunity, I smashed the bat on one of their head killing him instantly. The other one was quick to react, she pulled the gun towards me and started shooting while running for her life, “STAY BACK YOU MONSTER!” she cried running for the door. I used her partner as a shield as I ran after her, if I were in a good mood I’d let her live but she dared hurt my Lilith. This bitch is going to pay!

As soon as the bullets ran out she threw the gun to the ground and ran like her life depended on it, cuz it did. In seconds I caught upto her, I pulled her by her hair and started punching her crown until it cracked. The woman was long dead but just to satiate my sick desire I punched a hole in her skull and ripped out her brains.

I walked back to the warehouse where lilith struggled to free Layla who was still unconscious. I walked towards her and pulled her in my arms, “Fuck! I thought I lost you!” I buried my face on her shoulder, “It must hurt a lot! Lets get you a doctor!” I told her. She looked at me teary eyed, “That bastard tried to touch me…” she said sobbing lightly. I froze in shock, “H-he tried— but Layla came in between– he hurt her–” she said through hiccups, “He– knocked her unconscious” she cried loudly cradling in my arms.

I was trying to console her when I heard a very familiar groan, lilith had fallen unconscious because of blood loss, I opened my shirt and tied it on her shoulder to stop the bleeding.

I got up and walked towards the culprit of my Lilith’s suffering, “If you think I’d let you die so easily then you’re dead wrong!” I said looking at Andre who barely managed to keep his eyes open.

In a few minutes Orlando came in the warehouse looking bored and took Layla back, “Does it really take you ten minutes to kill six people?” Orlando looked at me coyly making me roll my eyes, “Well more like four, Lilith killed one and Andre is still alive!” Landon said leaning on the door with his arms crossed.

“How long were you guys been here?” I asked picking up Lilith in my arms.

“Long enough. Remind me never to piss off Lilith!” Landon joked looking at Orlando was had Layla in his arms.

“The girl literally bit off his wind pipe” Orlando shuddered making me chuckle.

“She is just as crazy as our boss here!” one of my men said making me smile.

“She is fucking perfect for me!” I said walking out of the warehouse.

Lilith was thankfully okay, the doctor said apart from blood loss, there was nothing serious. She had some transfusion that stabilized her condition pretty soon. As for her leg there and the bullets wound, it will heal but of course it’ll leave a scar.

Layla woke up soon and told us how the two of them got kidnapped. Thankfully I don’t have to deal with any traitors, my men were shot with darts so they all were unconscious when they were kidnapped.

“Re, la regina è sveglia, ti sta chiedendo.” (King, the queen is awake, she is asking for you.) one of my men told me. I nodded back and went to the basin to wash blood off my hands, “Take care of him while I am gone” I told to Orlando who beamed happily and went to pick up a torture device, “Don’t have too much fun” I told him before leaving the chamber.

“No promises, fratello” he winked at me, an evil glint shinning brightly in his eyes. I chuckled at him, Andre would now wish he were dead. Orlando though a softy is also a sadist, a true torturer if you ask me. He is good in a lot of things but torture seems to be his favourite kind of time pass.

“You called for me, your highness?” I joked entering our bedroom. She glared at me, “Stop calling me that!” she snapped.

I sat on the bed beside her and buried my face on her lap, “What did you call me here for?” I asked yawning, I love her lap. Its just so warm and safe, makes a fall asleep in seconds.

“Why haven’t you been coming back to sleep?” she asked running her hands through my hair. I was too lazy to respond so I just hummed, taking off my shoes and pants I got inside the blanket as my love cradled me in her arms, Best. Place. Ever.

I didn’t know when I dozed off but when I woke up it was still morning. I guess I slept for a few hours, “You’re awake!” lilith said coming out of the washroom.

“Why the hell are you walking?” I asked getting up from the bed and picking her up, “Eww! Gelato!! you stink of blood and sweat!! I just showered, you know” she said pushing me away.

I pouted, “Meanie”

She rolled her eyes, “You do realise, you’re a don right?” she said limping her way to the door when a knock was heard. A maid brought a trolley full of food, “Yeah I do know that” I said going inside the shower.

Lilith already had clothes laid out for me when I came out, “Eat your breakfast, now. You have been asleep for an entire day. I had a doctor check you up. You have been overworking” she said narrowing her eyes at me. I may be a don, I am shit scared of this woman. I avoided eye contact with her while wearing my clothes, “Finish him off today” as said taking out her laptop.

I was about to retort when she spoke up, “I know I have no right to interfere in revenge but to get it done, you are losing yourself.” she said looking at me with an unreadable expression on her face but I knew better, she is sad.

I sighed sitting beside her on the sofa, “I am sorry baby. I didn’t mean to hurt you” I said kissing the top of her head.

“and don’t worry about that scum. I was planning to kill him today anyways” I said shrugging.

“good” she said softly and pulled me down for a passionate kiss.

“Also this is the only time you’ll come to bed smelling like a dead rat” she said pulling away from the kiss.

“you still love me tho” I teased her.

“unfortunately” she said making me chuckle.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
