THE P.O.V. Emma.
I woke up and found myself in a room I didn't know about.
"Where am I?"
I held my head tightly because of the piercing pain. I tried to get up slowly by holding on to the wall.
"Are you awake?"
I was surprised to hear a hoarse voice from behind. I turned. My mouth is wide open.
"V?"
Vincent smiled at me and started to approach. I kept looking at him in shock. He made me sit on the bed and look at me.
"I'm sorry, but there's no other choice"
I clenched my forehead confused.
"What do you mean and how are you still alive? Didn't William kill you that day?"
I was so shocked that I didn't realize that my words were so harsh and harsh. Vincent's eyes instantly darkened, making me realize my mistake. He looked at me with anger.
"Don't you have eyes? Can't you see me sitting alive in front of you?"
He said in a hoarse voice. I slowly got up as I started to feel afraid of him.
"I'm going"
I started towards the door but she immediately grabbed my wrist and pulled me back. My eyes widened in fear.
"You're not going anywhere"
Whahuh?
"V, please let me go"
I started to take his hand off me, but he tightened his grip. He pushed me back to bed and held my shoulder tightly.
"You should listen first. I brought you here to show you something"
He spoke calmly to make me feel relieved. I'm nodding.
"Alright, continue"
He sat down next to me and pulled out his phone.
"Do you know about Rebecca?"
My heart started beating fast as soon as I heard it.
I remember the day he showed me the video of William killing Mark cruelly."
No, it can't....
My eyes started to sting because of tears. I held them back and looked at him firmly. But my throat became dry as V looked at me with a sorrowful look.
"T-Please, j-don't b-pick-"
"He killed her"
My heart feels stopped. My whole world collapsed when I was shocked. V sighed and gave me his phone. I stared at the screen with tears flowing.
'OH NO!!'
I saw how William stabbed Rebecca viciously and inhumanely while she continued to cry helplessly.
But...
"You like to steal my dolls, don't you? You did it in the past and now you do it again?"
A past?
Meaning...
He killed Finn that day??
Which means he's telling the truth. But I was too blinded by love.
I don't trust him.
I never believed it.
I never trusted anyone.
He keeps tricking me...
I keep believing it...
He kept playing with me...
I keep believing it...
He kept breaking his promise...
And I kept giving him a chance...
I looked at V with tears streaming down my face.
"Emma, I know how you feel. But William is a very dangerous man. He's a PSYCHOPATH, Emma. He's killed a lot of people. He killed everyone who ever tried to keep you away from him. Being a Mafia is no big deal, but being a Mafia Psychopath is a big deal. He killed my best agent. John, Mark, Rebecca, Jennie, Katherine, Leon, and...."
I'm staring. I grabbed his collar in frustration.
"And?"
"Noah"
I looked at him with fear. My hands are drooping on the side.
I can't believe this.
"William came back to America just to kill Noah"
He said in a cold voice. I looked at him but then remembered what William told me that day before going to America.
"I have unfinished business there?"
Oh God!!
"I can't believe this. He's gonna kill everybody. He promised me that day" I panicked.
"And you believe him?"
I frowned and looked at Vincent who was looking at me with an annoyed expression on his face. He looked at the confusion on my face and sighed in frustration. He immediately grabbed my shoulder tightly and shouted furiously.
"Emma, are you stupid or what? There is a big difference between being naive and being stupid. DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND? HE'S A CRIMINAL, EMMA. HE'S CRAZY BECAUSE OF YOU. HE WILL TAKE OUT EVERYONE WHO TRIES TO TAKE YOU AWAY FROM HIM. SHE ALWAYS SHOWS HER TRUE SELF TO YOU BUT YOU KEEP GIVING HER A CHANCE, TRUSTING HER LIES EVERY TIME!!! THINKING THAT ONE DAY HE WILL CHANGE. WHY DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND AND WHY DON'T YOU ACCEPT THAT HE'S SOMEONE WITH A MENTAL DISORDER, A VILE CRIMINAL. HE'S A PSYCHOPATHIC MONSTER!"
I was shocked by his sudden outburst of anger. Suddenly the memories of the past began to flow in my mind.
"William is obsessed with you, Emma. He's a dangerous lunatic who would do anything to get you."
"Emma, I've been desperately wanting to tell you this for years, but William has always been watching me and prevented me from even meeting you. You don't know, he had even tried to kill me a few times but somehow, I was able to escape from the clutches of this beast. You need to leave, Emma. We don't have much time."
*Shooting sounds*
"JOHN!!"
Mark was inside an abandoned building, bound and beaten without mercy. Suddenly William entered the room, his face dark while his eyes were reddish. He looks very angry. He took out an iron bar from the corner of the room and walked towards the unconscious Mark with predatory steps. I was shocked as soon as William swung the iron in the air and hit Mark hard on the head. He kept beating Mark cruelly. After a few minutes, he stopped and threw the iron into the cement ground. Mark was not breathing. It was clear that he had died. Tears filled my eyes as I looked at my friend's body that was completely covered in blood. But my eyes grew bigger when William pulled the gun out of his scabbard and shot all six bullets right in Mark's head after opening his skull. His blood splashed on William's face as he stared at the corpse in front of him with a demonic smile.
"You're mine... Only mine... It would be best for you if you keep this little thought in your pretty little skull or I WILL FORCE YOU TO UNDERSTAND WHO YOU HAVE TO BE!!!"
"Emma, you don't understand. William is no ordinary man. She's weird. He is a dangerous man. I saw it with my own eyes. William himself pushes Finn out of the building. He kept hitting him and kicking him without mercy, then he threw him off the porch."
William: But what you don't know is that you don't deal with criminals carelessly. You're dealing with William Knights. Mafia Kings... The Black Dragon Leader. The most dangerous and terrifying leader in America...
"YOU'RE MINE. JUST MINE..."
"STOP!"
I shouted while tightly covering my ears using my palm.
"Damma!!"
She hugged me immediately but I started crying loudly.
"Stop!!! I'm tired of everything. I just want to live simply. I can't face it anymore."
I began to tremble in her arms, but she hugged me even tighter.
End of P.O.V. Emma.
Seeing Emma like this makes Vincent's tears glow. Although she wanted Emma, but she also felt guilty for lying so much to her. It is true that William has committed many murders and crimes, and Vincent is convinced that he does not feel any remorse at all, so he decides to separate Emma from her. She couldn't bear to see how far she was playing around with such an innocent soul, so she decided to betray her friend, but she felt so guilty that Emma was stuck for no reason in this mess.
"I just want him to love me. I never even asked him to buy me an expensive gift. I just want to live simply. That'sthat's all. Is that too much for me to ask for?"
He sobbed while tightly grasping Vincent's shirt with his small hands.
"Emma, relax. Everything will be fine" Vincent replied calmly as he stroked Emma's head. But she flinched when Emma immediately let go of the hug and pushed her backwards.
"No, I want an answer from him. I want him to tell me. Does he really love me or not?"
Vincent looked at him in surprise and fear.
There was no way he would let her meet him. The situation is already complicated enough, and it will get worse if William finds out that Emma is with him.
Her entire plan will be ruined if she lets Emma meet William because no doubt, Wiliam is her childhood friend, but when Wiliam learns that she plans to snatch Emma from him, he would not hesitate for a second and would burn him alive.
Vincent clasped Emma's face and wiped away her tears. She then held tightly onto Emma's shoulder and spoke while looking them in the eye.
"Listen, Emma, we can't do it. Too risky. Besides, I've planned everything, but this time I want you to help me and not betray me for William."
Emma shook her head violently like a child and pushed her hand away.
"No, I want answers" Emma said.
Vincent looked at her furiously. He grabbed Emma's left arm firmly and pulled her closer to his lips, making her freeze in fear.
"And what will happen after that? Tell me," he said angrily as Emma continued to look at him with teary eyes.
"He's just gonna kill me and everybody, then drag him along. He'll lock you up for life and you'll be stuck with that psychopath forever. Do you want this to happen?"
Emma shook her head quickly in fear. Then, Vincent let out a long sigh and clasped Emma's cheek while looking at her eyes gently.
"Then do as I say and don't mess this up this time, otherwise no one will be able to help you anymore."
He's nodding.
"Okay, listen. When William arrives, you'll get him involved in the conversation while me and my team attack the mansion at the same time."
Emma looked at him in surprise and shook her head violently.
"But the house has very strict security. You won't be able to break it."
Vincent smiled cynically at his words.
"Don't worry about that. Just do what I say, okay?"
He's nodding. Emma then sighed and spoke firmly.
"All right, I'll do it."
*****
2 Days later
The Knights Heritage, Italy
At 20:30.
"Emma,"
William called out to her as he walked into the room while holding the two bags in his hand.
"Darling, look what I brought for you,"
He kept calling her, but she did not respond. He put the bags on the bed and took off his jacket.
"Where is he?"
His eyes went around checking the room when suddenly his eyes were fixed on Emma who was on the balcony. He turned his back on her. He smiled and approached her slowly. He hugged her from behind.
"My precious rose"
He kissed her cheek, but frowned as he felt something wet on his lips. She turned Emma's body around.
Eyes enlarge.
"Emma! What's going on, honey?"
She clasped her cheeks in panic when she saw him cry.
She wiped her tears and immediately hugged him.
"Say something, my dear"
He hugged her tightly as he continued to sniff.
"You killed Rebecca"
William froze in his place as soon as he heard it. Emma then released a hug and pushed him backwards, making him stagger backwards.
"Emma, i-"
He did not let it finish and gave a hard slap on his right cheek.
"SILENCE!"
William was surprised and looked at her.
"YOU HAVE NO HEART!! WHEN I THOUGHT EVERYTHING WAS OVER AND YOU FINALLY CHANGED, YOU AGAIN BETRAYED ME!! WHY, WILLIAM! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?"
She burst into tears and started crying loudly. William immediately approached her but she pushed him backwards.
"Please listen to me just once"
Emma shook her head and ran away. William's chasing. He rushed down the stairs.
"Wait!"
William shouted from behind, but Emma ignored him. He ran to the main gate but William caught him. He almost pulled it back when suddenly, the main door opened and was visible...
Vincent Valentino's
Eyes enlarge.
"What are you doing here?"
William was completely shocked to see her in his house, but what he saw next was enough to make his blood boil.
Emma ran up to Vincent and hugged him.
William's gaze instantly darkened as he stared at them like crazy. He walked furiously towards them when...
