CHAPTER TEN

DOMINIC'S POINT OF VIEW

I stared at the list before me with what i was sure was a stony and harsh expression as some of the names stared back at me; ever since i took over from the former don, i made sure never to pull anyone too close to me so some of the names were suprising and unexpected since i thought i made sure to let them all know just how much i was to be feared but it seemed they all forgot it and i would be glad to remind them.

A knock sounded at my door and with a gruff 'come in', in came Arturo, my right hand man who entered bravely even though he knew i was too livid to be fucked with

"I have them all rounded up sir, what would you like us to do sir?" he asked and i looked at him deep in thought as i thought of the best way to make a statement and suddenly, i decided to take a page from one of my old books, i would drive them all mad with desperation

"Have them placed in the cellar unbound and ungagged, leave a knife on the table before them and have their families rounded up immediately and on video tape, i want to play a game tonight" i said smirking

"Sir, they would kill themselves" Arturo said hesitantly and i questioned whetheror not he would need his head/; my hand itched to pull out the japanese sword hidden underneath my table

"Would you like to lose your hongue? or better still your head?"

"N-n-no sir" He stutterred and at that moment, i decided to change his position, i had no need for fools in my inner division

"Get out of my sight now!" i snapped and he ran out with his tail tucked between his legs

The moment he life, i shredded the list before me and opened my drawer to take out some paperwork but paused when i saw a small envelope inside it, i took it out, opened it and inside it was a small letter.

I STARTED WITH FIRE, NEXT IT WILL BE BLOOD! WATCH OUT SO CALLED KING, I AM COMING

THE JACKAL

After reading the letter, i was nconsumed with fury leading me to shred the paper, they would all know why i was called il re della morte {the hand of death}

I stormed out of my office to where the men were rounded up and stood behind the secret door way with cameras so i could get live video footave into what was happening . I stared at the men as they shook and asked each other

"Why are we here? what is going on?" they asked amongst each other panickedly and i smirked at their fear

I nclicked on the button that would reveal the small television in the room and also clicked the buttonm to show them the footage of their families bound and held at gun poin\

"Mamma!" some called out

"Nina!" another called, a mix of some calling for ntheir mothers, their sisters, grandparents, girlfriends and wives; it was funny to me how they thought i ad no idea of the women some of them kept hidden from me, it was a sign of betrayal to keep something from your don and they would all pay hardly for that

"No need to panic' i said into the microphone, you are all here as a result of the mistakes one of rsome or even all of you made and untill and unless someone confesses, no one would leave here alive and your families would pay for it.

"Don, i have no idea what you are talking about but i promise you don, i would never betray you! please leave mymother out of this, she is aged and weak pleaseQ!" one of tem spoke out as he came fpward and i smirked, this would go well, they were all breaking beautifully

"Speak amongst yourselves, untill you confess, no one wilol leave here spo i will count to ten, if you do not confess, someone will die; one, two, three, four, five.....ten" i skipped to the last number "well, no one confesses so i think it means Mrs Sandoval will have to go bye bye" i said and sent the text to pull the trigger and instantly, her head went back as the shot rang through the screen

"Mama! no! i will confess" one of them said and i moved foward in interest

"I thought as much" i mutterred under my breath hoping he was my rat so i could go back to Sabine, the little spit fire managed to warm my bones and i found myself wantin to see her all day, my little revenge project was always on my mind

"The other day, i took money from your stash and i took some dope to sell secretly so i could gain some money on the side" he said "Please let my sister go!"

"So you were the one that had the balls to steal from me, good to hear you confess" i said to him "Well, if you get a next life, do not ever think to cross me again, someone kill him and i will have one person from your family spared" i said and like clock work, they all rallied around to get the knife but were unsuccessful as no body wanted to let go of the opotrunity to save a loved one untill i heard a sick snap and looked to see that someome had snapped the thief's neck

"That's just what i am talking about!" i nexclaimed "who will it be?" i asked him

",My girlfriend sir" he said without missing a beat

"Okay" i said and clicked the button to kill her, there would be no mercy for a ny of them today and i would make sure they all wetted their pants as they rallied around trying to get the name of the traitor

:"No1" he exclaimed

"I will be back soon abd you beter have a name for me" i said, got up and walked out of the room

The world would burn under the fire of my revenge and i would leave nothing in its wake
