Gamechanger

Zach's PoV:

"Okay.. so guys this is what Matteo wanted, to be the chief of Mafia and how foolish is this asshole to think I care about Irene. Do as you want with that slut… enjoy as you want. Leave him guys"

As I said that, I saw the colours of his face being changed.

Every player thinks of himself as the King.. but there exists a King Maker Always!!

"Don't play your games Zach.. I know this is your specialty to sound cool but the truth is the more you delay, danger bells ring more for Irene Ranallo" he screamed.

"Who cares??" I shrugged.

"You care..you care about that Bitch. She matters to you" he screamed and that's his breaking point.

Selfish motives… we all are surrounded with selfish motives, you and I. We all want a thing or other and now he wants to rule this throne and why? Just for the power.

People try to cash on your weakness, it is always a getaway. But if you don't give a shit to what they say, there starts their breaking moment.

"Zach Accardo, my men will torture that slut, she will get to see hell while being alive and you won't be able to find her if I don't get what I want" he screamed.

"Well you are definitely going to get every hell you want… you want the Mantle, to be known as the ruling Mafia Lord, this power and popularity. The first thing to do to get your popularity is announcing your name, right? Darren, why don't we do it with the world police?"

"Police?" Matteo asked surprised.

"They have been trying hard to find and catch us, why not let them know about the new Mafia Lord? Send his pictures to every corner Darren and Elif make sure that the Narcotics Bureau understands that he was the one who carried all those drug cartel operations"

"Zach.. what the fuck are you saying? I have no idea about any operations. I am not responsible for them" he screamed.

"You might not be… but now you are Matteo. After all, with great power comes great responsibilities. So along with transferring my properties, shifting the mantle, and making you ascend this so-called fucking throne, I have more important things to do"

"Darren, the server breakdown, the market crash, the ammunition supply, development of the bots and the drug supply, the pubs and casinos under our control.. make sure Matteo's name will be appearing in all of those. After all, he wants the world to know what he owns and we will make his work easy"

Matteo started gulping, this alluring power is something all of them wishes to have, with rule comes tensions and worries. The one who is ready to hold the mantle should be ready to face death any second and to live with the fear of death, no one has any idea what is their last breath.

"Elif, the councils should know that Matteo Emerson is the main man behind all those smuggling, cartels, and the one controlling the sea trade, the gold smuggling, and shipping duties. The Genovese family trying hard to fight us, let them know it's Matteo who rules the throne and one more thing" as I spoke, I saw this asshole staring at me with fear.

I knew he didn't imagine this, he wanted me to surrender and give him what he wants and make him rule. He thought to win over me hitting on Irene, but no matter what I am not going to let anything or anyone rule over me.

"What is that Capo, let us know" Darren who is just wishing to end the life of Matteo quizzed.

"This recorded video of Matteo's confession about hurting Irene and letting his men torture the darling daughter of Ranallo's family and taking her to death. Get that done and leave him in the forest.. the poor animals don't have anything to feast on"

"Noo Zach, if you do anything to me she won't be alive. Irene will not just die.. she will be tortured to the death and you won't be safe. The Ranallo Mafia family won't sit back.. they knew you abducted her"

"And now they will know what you did to her, every word of yours is recorded. I wish I could send you to them, but how can I do so? Without giving my most trusted man his due" I smiled.

"Zach… Irene won't be saved… you care about her. She must be dying. If you try doing anything wrong with me, she won't be alive. You will have to fight the Ranallo's and they will end you" Matteo repeated.

"Ain't that something you wanted? You planned all of this, just to end me right. You have planned about abducting Irene Ranallo and passed the information to the Ranallo family and all the torture she will be going through, you will shift the blame over me and when I will be fighting them, you thought of backstabbing me and having this so-called power all by yourself… You must have planned better Matteo"

I looked at Darren and signaled him to keep calm.

"Why not we go hunting at midnight? What say, Matteo? You love it don't you? Luke, throw him in the kennel with Zola" I screamed.

"Capo…no, don't do this to me. Irene will die" he cried as Luke started dragging him away. Zola is of Rottweiler breed trained under me and anyone who goes near to her except me only gets to see how it is to live while dying.

"Make sure to manicure his nails" I ordered.

"Capo.. he wanted to have your throne, why don't you treat him with your special manicure? I will get you the kit… Please" Darren smirked.

Manicure is nothing but flogging the toes with nails and drilling it with a spade, Digging nails into toes with a hammer.

"Nooo… Capo, please spare me. Spare my life… Please. I will tell you Irene's whereabouts, just spare my life… please," he begged.

"Aww… just look at you all scared, how sweet he looks ain't he Darren. You fucking shit hole, do you think you could backstab me? Your fucking whole network is busted, now you will have the fucking taste of your medicine" I lift my leg only to kick his groin as he yelped in pain, my raging nerves felt satisfied.
