Chapter Twenty-Three

Lorenzo

I don’t want to hide this side of myself from her. She deserves to know what kind of man I am. Pain. Suffering. Death. This is what I do for a living, and I fucking love my job.

The pleasure that I get from inflicting pain and killing is nearly euphoric.

She has seen bits and pieces of the man I am. But will she be able to look at me the same after she sees that side of me?

Rolling up my sleeves, I look back at her one more time before getting to work. For one of the first times in my life, I feel fear. Looking at her, I am afraid this is the last time she will like at me like this.

I walk towards the man I am here to see. He is a low-level member of the Yakuza, but certain people have overheard him talking about the hits on our family, obviously peeking our interest.

“Do you know who I am,” my voice dark as I grab a knife from the table next to his swinging body. Opting for a large one, I flip it in my hand so that the handle is facing him.

Ramming the butt of the knife into his gut, he lets out a loud grunt, as his body spins in the chains.

“I asked you a question,” my voice growing increasingly angry, “Do you know who the fuck I am?”

“Lorenzo,” he violently sucks in air, “Botti…celli.”

“Good,” I spin the knife in my palm, turning the blade towards him.

Grabbing hold of him, to stop him from spinning, I press the sharp tip of the knife against his flank. Slowly applying more pressure, the tip breaks his skin and a trickle blood runs down his thigh.

Leaving the tip just inside of his skin, I continue, “What do you know about the fires?”

“Nothing,” he cries, “ I don’t know nothing.”

Plunging the knife deep into his abdomen, I quickly pull it out and press just the tip through his flesh an inch above the hole my knife was just in.

“Don’t lie to me,” I slightly twist the tip of the knife widening the hole, “We’ve heard you talking all over the city.”

“I don’t-,” his words cut short by two quick and meticulous plunges of my knife. Each strike painful, not lethal, as I inch closer to his chest, blood now oozing down his leg.

“I thought I was clear,” dragging the tip of the knife through the flesh of his chest opening a shallow wound, “Don’t fucking lie to me.”

My chest is heaving as I continue to drag the knife all the way to his navel, leaving a trail of blood in its wake as he screams for mercy.

“There is no mercy here,” I slowly press the blade into his stomach to the hilt before twisting it. He screams in agony as the blade twists and cuts through more of his flesh.

Slowly pulling the blade from him, I momentarily turn to check on Ava to ensure this is not too much for her.
