"Where are we baby? This place doesn't seem to have a lot of people," I asked her innocently.

"Its the outskirts. I told you we had a vacation planned here, right? The fact that there won't be many people around drew me to this place. It's really beautiful, you'll see baby!" She replied ever so cheerfully, and I realized then, that she was no ordinary woman.

This woman right here was an even greater actress than Luca, as if she was kept only to lure men out of their dens. She must have thought she's successful this time too, but little does she know that this night will end with a bullet in her and her accomplice's head. She really had picked the wrong one this time.

"Okay, then. Let's trust your taste all the way."

"That's the spirit," She smiled at me one last time, before pulling a cute little blindfold over my eyes because she wanted to 'surprise' me.

I've had many bizarre, dangerous, and impossible moments in life. And yet, this one right here, had climbed all the way up through those experiences and had claimed number one spot in the most bizarre experience I've ever had. I had no idea how this woman here couldn't understand that a lethal mafia lord like me wouldn't have put my guard down so easily for her. She was just a stupid bitch who thought she had full control over me, and the thought itself made me laugh.

Since I was a highly impatient man, and I already knew what was about to unfold in front of my eyes in a couple of minutes, I was tempted to fish out the small dagger hiding in my boot, or maybe the small revolver I snuck inside the waistline of my jeans. But I had to hold back. I had to, so that our plan could succeed, and theirs could fail.

"Baby, how many more steps?" I asked, gritting my teeth everytime I said the word 'baby' for that word disgusted me. It didn't even come out naturally so what was the point? But I assumed every girl liked it, and stayed saying it for fun, only to see this become her lifeline.

"Just a few more steps, and we're done!" She replied with the same fake enthusiasm as earlier, and suddenly I could hear the sound of the door opening.

"See, we're here! I'm going to walk you to one of the chairs here, but they still hadn't refurbished for the next client, so be careful to not bump into some of the items on the floor." She warned me as I smirked inwardly.

By some items on the floor, she meant the rubble and dust present inside the abandoned factory. I had been here way too many times to not know what this area feels like. A few years after the factory burned down, an underground boxing ring was made. But that too, was closed five years ago because of it's illegal activities. This place had been my home for a long time, and thus, I was aware of its every curve and dip in the ground, and every rustle of leaves around me.

Soon, the gentle ushering changed into pushing, and my hands were being thrown behind my back. Before I could even protest, my hands were tied firmly and I was lowered into a chair, my legs being the next target. In that moment, I realized I had never known that getting tied up voluntarily could be so tiring. I thought struggling against a force was supposed to be difficult? But the truth was that I was fully captured now, and Luca too, must have listened to all the noise.

"What the hell is this Sophia? What kind of joke is this? Release me! Now!" I shouted, hoping to sound as real as I can.

"You ain't getting released, baby boy. So shut your ass up and sit when you're allowed to." She barked, her tone doing a whole 180 on me. She will pay for raising her voice with me later.

"Puttana del cazzo! Remove this fucking blindfold now!!"
(Fucking bitch!)

Hearing me shout and squirm about in my seat made her laugh her usual airy laugh, only this time, I knew the bitch was clearly mocking me.

"Oh dear, curse at me all you want, but you'll be shaking in your fucking boots once you meet our boss," She snarled.

"You, you have way too much faith in this boss of yours. Are you sure he'll let you live after this stint? You're fucked both ways, bitch!"

At this, she ripped the blindfold from my eyes, and I got to see the real Sophia Gold underneath that innocent persona. The devilish blue eyes twinkling with something more sinister, blonde hair blowing in her face and sticking to her blood red lips, she grinned like a maniac, with a promise of something beyond evil for me.

"Boss was so right, you men can turn into putty in us women's hands. Six months, and here you are, probably regretting the very time you agreed to take me out on a date. Bria told me all about how you didn't date, so what changed your mind?" She mocked at me openly, and this time, my ire wasn't made up. She was seriously messing with my ego.

"Probably because you were good at the sex, Sophia."

Came a foreign voice from among all her men, and my breath stopped in my throat. It couldn't be.... right? My head spun around with thousands of possibilities. Out of all the enemies I had in this world, I just had to fall in his trap?! Fucking hell!!

It was then that his face came in my view, and I instantly regretted waking up that day. Actually, I regretted waking up at all. I shouldn't have been born to witness such a day. His unmissable smirk and twinkling grey eyes that haunt me every night, were right in front of me. It took me a lot of time to blink my eyes, and then blink them again, in hopes of erasing the horrific image, but to no avail.

"Missed me, little boy?"

"Ti ammazzo, puttana!"
(I'll kill you, bitch!")
