I twisted Zero's finger until it broke with a sharp, sickening snap. The soundproofed walls did their job perfectly, no matter how loud he shrieked, the world outside will remain blissfully unaware. It wouldn’t do him any good.

“¿Quién te pagó para traicionarnos?“ I demanded.

He stayed silent. He zipped his mouth well for a man with such flimsy loyalty. I grabbed his index finger and forced it back until it snapped. The crunch was audible, followed immediately by another scream.

The infestation of rats in this family was worse than I’d imagined. Trusting anyone had become a dangerous gamble.

"You don't need to confess," I said calmly, already reaching for his last healthy finger.

"Coglione, you scream like a fucking banshee. " Martini muttered. I could hear the irritation in his voice. He detested traitors more than anyone, and I couldn't blame him, his own family had been wiped out by an ostentatious snake.

I dropped to my knees, eye-level with the pathetic mess before me. Zero whimpered, his one good eye fixed on me with a mix of terror and curiosity. He had worked for me for four years and he still hadn't learned, I don't make plans. I act on impulse.

I grinned, the exhilaration hitting me as I thought about sliding the blade through the joint. I didn't hesitate. In one clean motion, I slashed his finger open, exposing the pale bone of his phalanges. I dug the blade into the space between the bone and the joint, separating them. Zero’s cries intensified, his body straining against his bones, but the more he struggled, the more it hurt.

I brushed a stray hair out of my face, wondering why I hadn't thought of this sooner. It was a brilliant idea.

"I'll tell you," Zero gasped, finally breaking. Blood dribbled from his swollen cheek as he spat the name. "It was Oleg."
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwa1RudlBN
A chuckle escaped me. "Oleg Morozov? That Russian bastard?"
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheoQisi6uG
He’d been double-crossing me for a while, acting as if he could actually challenge my authority. I had ignored him because small fry like Oleg were usually beneath me—guns, drugs, minor deliveries. I crave a challenge, and Oleg was never one. But the fact that he’d played me for a fool, costing me over $100 million in merchandise, made my blood boil.
"He threatened my family, I had no choice," Zero sobbed, tears streaming down his face.

I barely heard him. My focus was already shifting to Martini. Oleg had crossed the line for the last time. I had been far too merciful, and now I was going to stop him permanently.

"That’s why Veridict stole the documents," Zero muttered.

That caught my attention. Verdict had vanished without a trace, and I never expected to get a lead on her from this rat. Zero had left the family a year before she went missing.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHu82R16XZ
"What about her?" I demanded.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmGOjfbM2c
"She was tricked by Fredrick," he revealed.

It’s funny how pain works. They always try to hold back, but once the dam breaks, the words never stop flowing. "She shouldn't have fleed on the night before our wedding though." I muttered.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekNdqRXP0y
She ruined a lot because she couldn't stay put.

"Take him to the cold room," I ordered Boris.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKu7WXli7x
"No, no, don't," Zero whimpered, his voice failing him. "Please, I wouldn’t have betrayed you if he hadn’t taken my family." I laughed. The sound echoed off the cold walls of the room. "It’s funny how you could’ve just asked for protection. Instead, Tú elegiste perder mi mercancía.“

I locked my eyes onto his broken form one last time. "Eres solo una puta rata.“

I followed Logan and Boris as they dragged him away, discussing the traitor's fate with Martini. Neither of us felt a shred of sympathy.
"Occupati della sua famiglia,“ I instructed.

As I spoke, my gaze shifted to Marian. She was watching with sheer terror, clearly struggling to process the brutality. She recovered quickly, though, true to form, and retreated to her room.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpmCTRc975
"ho il sospetto che Marian stia tramando qualcosa,“ Martini remarked.
I’d felt it too. The sense that she was always scheming bothered me.
"ho notato,“ I replied, turning my attention to the computer screen. "Lasciala seguire il suo piano. Just keep an eye on her. Being confined will likely affect her, despite her mental resilience."

Martini nodded and turned to leave.
