Mafia Vengeance (Dark Romance)
Mafia Vengeance Chapter 55

Chloe was crying and sobbing, she couldn't believe how someone can be this cruel. She was hugging Andrew, who was also crying silently on her shoulder. Long forgotten that she was consoling the same person, who gave her only pain. After meeting Andrew, she taught her life was the most miserable one but after knowing his story she can't retaliate. How can someone face this many atrocities of life at such a tender age.

Her thoughts were interrupted when Andrew detached himself from her. He spoke calmly.

"After that I told police about everything but what they did, they kept me in cell for days and everyday they would beat the shit out of me. Because, that pathetic bastard paid them money. That was when I know if I want justice then I have to work for it. I worked

hard. I trained on the streets. Every day, I fought on the same place where I earned money for Lucy. Where you had everything, I had nothing. Where you ate good fresh food, I ate stale bread. Where, you sleep on your warm mattress, I slept on cold, hard streets. I'm this way because this world mold me into this. There is no place for weak in this society and I learned it a hard way."

She felt a kind of pain in her heart, which she didn't want to feel. She can feel how vulnerable he was. And it tore her apart.

"After that I wasn't the same Andrew. I wasn't the same kid anymore. On Lucy's funeral I decided to take my revenge on each single person who was involved in my misery."

He seethed in anger. She was taken aback by seeing his change demeanor all of a sudden. His red shot eyes met hers as he menacingly spoke.

"You know what I did to that mafia boss who rapped my mother. I tortured him for seven months and eight days precisely. Each week I chopped his one finger and when there wasn't any finger left then I slashed his flesh and fill that slash with salt and then I sew it up. His screams were so satisfying. When, there wasn't much plane flesh left on his body then I allowed my doctor to heal him. In one month he was good to start again with. Last torture was when I whipped him and then pour alcohol on him he was writhing in pain and in the last I chopped off his p***s. He was alive when I slashed his chest and ripped his heart out of his body that thing was still beating in my hand. But after some time that thing also stopped beating."

Chloe looked horrified at him. The thing scared her to death wasn't the torture he was telling about, it was the way he was smiling while telling her, like he's dictating the ending of a romantic story. She was so petrified of him, that she moved away from him and was about to run out of the room.

This was the Andrew she dreaded the most, she saw this vicious side of him on that night and this Andrew sitting beside her was the same one from that night. She scanned the room and the door to make a run for it. She can't hear anymore of this.

In an instant she made a dash towards the door. Before she could turn the knob, a rough hand was placed on top of her delicate one and a hard chest was pressed firmly on her back. She gasped and tried to wriggle from the side but was stopped when Andrew slammed his fist on the wall beside her. She intake a sharp breath. Dread seeped into her bones.

She didn't dare to turn around but Andrew wasn't having it. He roughly turned her around facing him. He knew he was scaring her, but he can't help it. He can't have her running away from him. He wanted her to know what true of a monster he is, he wanted her to know each side of him. If, he's going to be her gentlemen then she must know there's a demon which resides in him.

"You know what I did to that guy who told me that I should be thankful to them that they are burying my mother instead of cutting her into pieces and feeding her to the wild animals."

Chloe's eyes shot towards his red shot ones, she immediately closed her ears with her hands. She can't hear anymore. She was scared.

Andrew smiled at her innocent tactics. He held both of her wrists in one hand above her head. And pressed his body firmly on hers making her gasp, he was feeling all her soft curves pressed against his hard muscles. He huskily spoke.

"I cut their legs and feed it to my lions in front of them. But that wasn't satisfying enough, so I threw them in the lions den and trust me there screams were bringing me serene peace."

He sucked her earlobe and kissed her neck, she jerked away. She was shivering like a leaf and was weeping silently. Andrew kissed her tears. She tried to struggle out of his grip but it was impossible. Andrew snuggled in the Crook of her neck and took deep breaths, her scent was calming him on the other hand she was trembling because of his hot breath that was fanning her jaw and neck.

Andrew let go of her wrists and held her hand in a firm grip, he moved towards the couch and settled on it and with sudden tug Chloe was on his lap, she yelps and was about to stand but Andrew circled his muscular arms around her waist, preventing her from moving away.

"I was cruel, vicious, merciless, I built the best mafia empire. My life was going good with all the money, women and killing."

He cupped her right side of the face with his bulky hands and caressed her.

"But then you came into my life. Like a drop of water for the wanderer of Sahara. Like a breeze of heaven for the burning demon. You took me by surprise. I know I hurt you a lot because of my own twisted reasons. But baby, I'm so sorry for everything I ever did to you. I know I don't deserve your forgiveness but still I'm sorry."

Chloe was sitting stiff in his embrace. She was shocked to see the sudden change in him. (Is he bipolar or something. One minute calm the second in pain the third angry lion and now all sweet.) She couldn't comprehend about his mood swings.

He's sorry, and she can tell he's sincere because his eyes were like open book for her now. He never showed any emotions other than anger and now he's showing all at once. And it's creeping her out.

But does she have it in her to forgive him yet. The answer is no. She can't. She knew he faced a lot of hardships, and he wasn't evil, but he was made into one. But what was her fault in all this. She was innocent then why she got hurt. Why his twisted revenge was related to her. That was still unanswered.

On the other hand she does feel sad for him. The things he faced was too much for anyone to tolerate. Her heart was mourning in pain, his pain. Her dominant part wanted to hug him and sooth him. But that little part of her heart wasn't letting her to do it. If she forgave him now, she'll fell in her own eyes.

She was startled out her thoughts when Andrew opened the buttons of his shirt. Instantly her mind drove into panic mode. She tried to stand, but his hold was firm. He removed his shirt from left side make it bare for the eyes. Her eyes instantly landed on her name, engraved on his skin. Andrew held her right hand and placed it on her name just above his heart. He then spoke huskily.

"Can you feel how it's beating. This thing never knows how to beat. I didn't even know it was there until you came. That was the first time I felt it. And when ever you are near me it beats. You can also feel it now."

And true to his word his heart was thumping rapidly as if he had run a marathon. Chloe could feel the drumming of his heart. She definitely knew if she would put her ears near his chest, she can hear the lub dub as well. "It only beats for you Chloe. Because, I love you."

He confessed. Chloe was quiet, she didn't know how to respond to this, this isn't the first time he's saying this. The first time he said these words was when he was defiling her. She was deeply hurt that night, because she knew he was sincere. He spoke his purest words while doing vile thing. She closed her eyes, trying to remove those unpleasant memories from coming back.

Andrew knew she was in a turmoil and to ease her up a bit he continued.

"As a kid I also wanted to be like my daddy. I wanted to have a family just like my own. But as life showed its color, this thought left my conscience but deep in my heart I always craved for a family. Then I got you. And now there's a life growing inside you. I know how it happened was a nightmare for you. But trust me I wasn't in my senses. But please just because of my sins don't hurt our baby. I know I can't stop you if you want to abort but please if I'll have to beg then I'll beg you to stop, I don't want you to think the child as a sin-"

Andrew's, blabbering was stopped when Chloe put her hand on his lips to stop him spurting nonsense. She was shocked after hearing this new information, she never thought Andrew was one of family making person. And the fact that he won't harm her child was so relieving for her. Now she was content to know that Andrew wants the child as much as she wants.

Andrew was surprised by her sudden act but the thing that he could comprehend from her behavior was more than a blessing.

"You want the child?"

Chloe nodded her head. Andrew smiled widely looking at her with adoration. The conflicts between them hasn't solved but that didn't mean she'll kill her child. It was innocent, she'll never punish an innocent soul.

Andrew was over the edge of happiness after knowing that she wants the child as much as he wants it. He knew she was innocent, and she would never hurt an innocent soul. But the fact that still disturbed him was that he hasn't told her the complete truth yet and when she'll know it. She'll be deeply hurt.

Chloe was smiling while caressing her stomach.

"Can I?"

He asked hesitantly indicating towards her stomach. She nodded slightly. She'll deal with him separately, but she wouldn't deprive her child of his fathers love.

Andrew touched her stomach and felt it, there wasn't anything different but the feeling of his life being there was overly exciting. He slightly pecked her stomach and she gasped. She looked at him wide-eyed. Andrew with an innocent face spoke. "What? I was just kissing my child."
