Mafia Emperor

 DUANTE's POV

      Blood was dripping from his wounded head. It covered his face with his own blood from one side. He was badly injured. Ricky brutally smashed his head on the wall and smirked evilly. He left the collar of him. He staggered on his feet. But somehow managed to rush away from that bastard. He was limping because a bullet hit him in his thigh and second on the left side of his chest and third on the right side. Doctor's words reverberated in my mind, " Bullet has torn through his artery, there is no chance of his survival. He's already dead." Aarav could not continue his pace anymore. His fifty goons surrounded him. 

       My amber eyes were fixed on the screen. I was tapping my fingers on the glass table in resentment. There was only my fingers' tapping sound which was echoing low in the office right away. Aarav was struggling for his last breath. His smooth easy intakes were altered in heavy difficult breathing after bullets hit him. He made efforts to stand up. He fell on the ground face down. I was perceiving his pain in my chest. They were cruelly beating him with hockey sticks, their kicks and punches, seeing it really got my adrenaline pumping, my blood boiled. I clutched my hands. He inhaled his last breath with difficulty, " Duante. '' whispering my name. Aarav had nothing to do with this world. They'll pay for it till the end of their last breath. They'll beg for their death and it will not come easily to these rascals. I heaved a deep sigh in exasperation. I was pressing my thumb under my fingers in a fist. It had been more than one hundred, twenty hours, seven minutes and forty seven seconds, I hadn't washed my hands on him. That hooligan threw a grand party on twenty two date of every month. He had arranged an eminent party this day. Huge part of my heart wants him in his grave. My mind has some other intentions for him. I'll kill him, slowly, barbarically and brutally

     I clicked on the pause button. It was flashing 22 February on one of my laptop corners. It was playing CCTV footage, last year's video. It is 22 February today. One year has passed. 

    I racked my hair through my fingers. I rested my elbow on the arm of the chair. I inclined my head to one side. I spread my fingers on my face, still I could see the pause video screen through the split of my fingers. who stood within this slaughter. I had killed them brutally one by one. By the time, it has brought my demon out. People called me a heartless demon. 

   I have beat the hell out of Ricky uncountable time during the gaped time. I would decide his last breath, not God, not he, not any disease, I'd be me. He has been hospitalized countless times. I've broken his bones. It is twenty two February. It's his time to pay the interest plus amount of his debt which he is carrying and would carry till his last breath. He would go through the pain Aarav had gone through on that ominous day. This day is counted as a dark day of my life. Aarav is more than a brother to me. Ricky stepped over the line. I had sworn, he'd be the last heir of his clan. 

     " He has booked the fourth floor for his binge. It's a five story building. The rest of the floors are booked for family functions. " Thomas said, turning his laptop's display at me. 

      " He will revel before his death today, my bare hands are itching to strangle his fucking neck. " I seethed. My iPhone made a sound of beep. I opened the text. 

    ' We're on our way.' Tann. 

    I've decided to kill him today more mercilessly and brutally that he would haven't imagined. I stood up and buttoned my coat, " Let's go. " I said, without glancing back. If I would set a swimming pool with ravenous crocodiles and ask my men to jump in it. They'd do it without questions. No one could judge the Mafia Emperor. Reaching in the garage, I unlocked my black mercedes. I climbed in it and turned the key. I sped up at my destination to end the dark story that he started the same day one year ago. I'll finish it today. 

     When I reached the spot, I pulled over my car. It stopped with a jolt as I was driving rash. I glanced at the rear view mirror. I could see Thomas' car and SUV of my best men. They pulled their cars over behind mine. I stepped out on the black road. I gazed up at the building through my sunglasses. I took them off and chucked back at the front seat of my car. I tossed my keys at my man. I gestured with my finger. We got in the building from the front door. 

   We reached the main office, " Good evening, Sir. " Owner of this resort greeted me. 

     " Morning. " I nodded, " I want this building empty except for the fourth floor." I ordered the manager.

     He bowed his head and went in the elevator. 

    I unfastened my coat and took the head chair. My advocates were already here. I had purchased the entire building. 

     Thomas came in and eyed at the advocate, " You purchased it! " Thomas exclaimed and smirked at the same time. 

    I passed him my wry smile. He's my younger brother, an important part of my family, my only family. 

    My phone vibrated in my pocket. Taking it out, I ran my eyes on its screen. Message popped up on my iphone and I swiped to open it. 

      ' We're in ' Tann.

    Corner of my lips lifted up. I was only one step away from my prey, " Time to finish the game. " I was feeling outraged but I said words in a slow voice. Tann was tracking him down as pretending to be his man. 

      We went to the elevator. I took my ten best men with me, who could fire fifty rounds in one minute. Elevator opened with a sound and I stepped out. My men were following me and waiting for my command. Thomas was in the manager's office. I didn't want my attention to divert, it was good he wasn't part of it. I wanna keep my only family safe. 

    I felt a blister of acrimony and enrage in my blood, My blood boiled in my veins on his sight. Here was the motherfucker who killed my best friend. Who was an engineer and had nothing to do with this world. He brutally murdered him. There was no place for such a piece of shit in the world. I didn't harm innocent people, who weren't part of it. He was surrounded by his men pointing their guns at cops. Hall was filled with loud shrieks and thuds of footsteps, to get out of it. My eyes were fixed on my prey. My hand traveled toward my gun. My fingers were itching to pull the trigger. 

  ' I'm the hunter here. He's my chase. I'll kill him, only I. '

    Tann saw me and slipped away from his troop. He joined us. My prey was still unaware of my presence, " He wants to marry her and is going to do it here right now. " Tann whispered in my ear and pointed at the girl, surrounded by three cops. 

    I shifted my feet to have a clear view of her. I raised my eyes to behold her. She was in a golden gown. Her dress beautifully hugged her, showing her curves. Her wavy brown hair was touching her hip and her shinny brown eyes were carrying fear. She has a beautiful innocent face. I glared at Tann for more information. My heart gave me approval of her, making his beat faster a little. 

   " He has kidnapped her. She was attending one of the parties running in this place and one of his men dared to laugh at her. He killed him on the spot. " he completed. 

      I smiled a bit. I put my gun back in the holster and grabbed the phone. I ran my fingers on my phone. I beckoned my men to shoot his men. They were on the ground in a second, wet in their own blood. I let my prey run. I don't wanna give him an easy death. The hit of the bullet would give him easy death. That was what he did not deserve at all. I wanna see him soaked in his blood. I wanna hit him in the center of his eyes. I saw she was staring at me in my eyes with horror. Nobody dared to look in my eyes, she did. It challenged me. Her bewilder eyes were making her more sexy and hot. I paced toward her, gripping from her waist. She was giving me a touching rose petals feeling. Her beauty is breathtaking. I knew what I was going to do. I clutched her tightly and jumped from the railing. She gave a loud scream. My men already knew my plan. They were with a jumping sheet pulled out where I leaped with her. She was beneath me with tightly closed eyes. I ran my eyes on her beautiful face. I stood up and walked toward the office. They were carrying her behind me. They made her sit on a chair. When I was sure she didn't wanna marry him. Plan was hovering in my mind. 

     " Get marriage's paper ready, Tann. " I ordered him
