THE HEART OF THE MAFIA

Promise up!

“Do not be far from my sight for a second, my wife.”

Evans' words sounded full of emphasis as Alea walked into the crowd area in plain sight.

Alea let out a wrench. How could he disappear from Evans' sight if the man himself grasped his hand so tightly as if in his mind that his life was indeed, always threatened from his enemies.

Evans and Alea passed through many shops showing ancient trinkets dominated by the nuances of Christianity.

Alea walked side by side holding hands with Evans.

Alea paused from the booth to the other stans, and Evans himself was more silent and followed in his footsteps without protesting where he was going.

Although they each stepped up, Alea looked at Evans who looked as though he was wary of the surroundings.

“Show me what you want baby. I will definitely buy it for you.”

Alea turned to the side, then shook her head accompanied by a sweet smile.

“Nothing I want,” he said back staring at some crafters.

 “What are you currently happy for?”

“Yes,” Alea replied, turning for a moment, then giving Evans a sweet smile.

“Malah I'm happier, Ev.”

At least Alea's mind was free unshackled like before. “Should I be very grateful not still given pleasure in this world?”

Alea's eyes were rounded. He gasped in surprise when Evans pulled his waist to close his body by sitting against each other.

“I promise you dear that I will always make you happy even if it is not as easy as in words.

“I will fight for you and it's my first time fighting for someone with my own life.”

Alea was gobsmacked, Evans' emotion-filled gaze explained. Evans would do anything to prove it. Slowly her smile grew

“Thank you, Ev.”

Evans kissed the back of his hand, turned his gaze around and pointed at something from a distance.

“Do you like pizza?”

Alea nodded. “Come we buy it.”

Alea smiled following Evans towards a restaurant. However, his sight accidentally caught something among the goods of the merchants who were not far from the pizza restaurant that Evans was heading to.

Alea stopped suddenly making Evans turn.

“I saw something I liked there. Order the pizza first. I'll catch up with you after I buy it.”

“No, dear. You should always be with me.”

“Please, Ev. I'm not going anywhere. Do you still think I'm gonna run away from you?" asked Alea looking sad.

"I'm not going away from you Ev, because no matter how far I go to escape. You'll definitely find me and I don't want to leave you."

But that's not what Evans thinks. "You can still see me from inside the store.”

“Lea..”.

“Please. Yes, Ev. This time only.”.

Evans looks riled and hissed. “Alright but there won't be another time!!”

Alea nodded then gave a sweet smile to the husband. The man turned around and rushed into the restaurant.

Alea rushed inside the shop and picked up a pair of white pigeons with both wings up and paid for them.

He held the paper bag tightly in hand and rushed to look for Evans before the man was angry for too long. However, the corner of his eye saw something else.

At the front end, in one of the alleys even though the distance is quite far and quiet. Somehow his footsteps headed that way and ignored looking for Evans.

A dirty looking alley, Alea found a woman kneeling in front of two eerie looking men pleading.

Alea gasped and smothered her own mouth as one of the men wearing a hat gripped tightly against the woman's long hair and dragged her by force.

Without realizing it, both of his legs were getting away from the crowd and into a narrow alley with his footsteps carefully following.

“Basic women jallang!!!"

Alea only heard the swearing and hid behind the walls of the house. He felt sorry to see the woman who had been beaten several times by the man.

I don't know where he is at the moment. However, the place was now no longer visible that Alea could see in his place now was so dirty.

Alea grimaced, looking pityfully at the woman who had been knocked countless times. Surprisingly, the woman did not leave, but instead bowed like a pity and silence just get rough treatment.

“No!!”

Alea reflexively shouted as she saw one of the men about to hit the woman's head with a wooden beam.

The three men were shocked when they received the sudden arrival of a woman who was holding a small wood to protect herself.

Alea brought the woman who was crying to retreat—dodged from the three men.

 “What did you guys do to him?!” Alea asked the three men in front of her.

Two men in black jackets looked at each other. “Who is he? Where did that woman come from?” said the man in the hat.

His partner replied with a shrug of shoulders not knowing while the other looked at Alea from head to toe as close as Alea, looking at the three men in front of him.

From the way they dress, it has been seen they wear expensive clothes seen from one of the brands in his clothes even though their faces clearly show that the two men are not good men.

“He's been hurt enough. Why do you guys hit him continuously?”

“Basic jerk!!”

One of the men was upset.

“Who are you? Why are you interfering with our business. Huh?”

“Tapi—”

The man rubbed his chin back at Alea's appearance. “You can too. Judging from your face it looks like you are really expensive if sold out there!”

Alea's one foot retreated backwards as the two men came forward with gazes looking all over her body.

“The ugly woman you hugged has already sold her sister to us, subconsciously!”

“Today the woman whines at us to exchange herself for her sister whom we have sold out there.

“Even if the woman cries blood, her sister will not be able to return. But—” The man in the hat paused stare cruel.

 “If you were the one who exchanged it for your body, then that little sister will I return it. Your price must be even higher and also very expensive!”

“Do not go near—” exclaimed Alea while showing the wooden beam held.

“If you don't want to regret later,” Alea said as he looked at the two men who were still walking over to him.

The two men laughed sarcastically, staring mockingly at the words Alea was saying.

“Beautiful-beautiful but stupid help a woman like her!”

Alea gasped to see the four men coming suddenly from behind and surrounded him.

Alea's hair and the other woman's.

“You are too stupid to have plunged your own life into danger, beautiful!”

The man in the hat gave instructions to four of his men. Alea was full of vigilance and kept the woman he had helped until she crashed on the asphalt.

Tightly, Alea held onto the wood but she gasped as a man in front of her pulled the wood tightly. Pushing each other pushed the wood with the same strength until it finally kicked the belly of the big man and started fighting to hit the four men in front of him.

Alea's opponent was big. However, even so Alea was still able to fend off the blows that the four men were dealt. Alea.

Alea tore off her knee-length dress so that she could freely move both her legs and hands to strike back at the man, despite having fallen down with a body so sore.

Once again, Alea could still get up and fight with the four men.

Alea's cheeks reddened the marks of the hard punch that floated from one of the men.

“Ck! It was unexpected that you could defend yourself until it could paralyze my people easily,” said the leather jacketed one as he looked at his four men who were groaning in pain.

Alea's sigh rose and fell, as Alea's appearance was already in disarray after successfully subverting the four men.

I want Alea to give up, she can't fight back.

His body began to weaken with pain that now spread throughout his body will be a punch from the opponent.

“Don't talk much to you!” exclaim Alea.

The man in the leather jacket was finally willing to give an attack.

Unfortunately, losing quickly because Alea had moved quickly kicking the man's shell until the sound of pain echoed.

“Damn it, you jallang!”

Now the man in the hat came forward and slapped Alea in the face so hard that his body was blown into the streets.

“Bring him ship!!” he shouted at the four men who had risen again.

“No!”

Alea rebelled. His body had already been forcefully pulled by the two large-bodied men.

Seen around. Unfortunately, this place was too quiet that no one would help her.

Alea turned to the side, she was stunned when she saw the woman she had helped now just disappeared leaving her.

Finally, Alea was carried by the four men by tightly gripping both of her hands. Alea was dragged forcibly to follow them.

“Let go, I. Release!” exclaim Alea.

“Shut up, you jallang!” decak the man.

“Evannnnssss!”

“Ck! who are you calling that, huh?” The man in the hat felt familiar with the name the woman called.

“Are you calling the Italian ruler, huh?” his head was accompanied by a loud laugh.

Alea was silent, condemning her stupidity. “Mafia ruler that won't even care about a woman like you!”

“Evans Shouted Alea, again. She did not care about the man in the hat who took her husband.

"Take me off..."

“Ck! Let go, it's your own fault you're too meddling, beautiful!”

Alea shook her head, she interfered because she could not accept that a man hurt or even tortured a woman.

“Evaans... Please, help me!”
