Helplessly Fall for You

A sharp pain erupted through my head, I felt my ragged breathing. I tried to open my eyes but it feels like weight on my eyelids. I was struggling to open my eyes and finally I got the success. It's too dark and the foul smell of rotten blood was burning my nose. A small light bulb was hanging on a corner showcasing the moulded walls and broken glass of a window of the room, dripping sound of water echoing throughout the room. I flickered my eyelids to get a clearer image as my head was spinning due to pain. Where am I? How did I end up here? Heach was killing me, it's too much, shit.

Now, I remember I was heading to report boss about the whereabouts of club and someone hit me with something hard on my head. I felt blood rolling down from my left temple but I couldn't feel any pain as it went totally numb. It was flowing down upto my neck. I tried to move my arm to touch it but I couldn't reach it as I was tied to a wooden chair. Horror passed over me as I got to the basement of his house. He found out that I was stealing information from him. I am going to die now. Droplets of sweats rolling down my temples and neck. My heart beats like a drum as I hear the sound of some heavy footsteps increasing continuously and with a loud bang, the door of the room flies over another corner of the room as Death himself kicked the door.

As my eyes catch his eye, my breathing becomes impossibly difficult as I remember the stories of his tourcher. Now, I am going to experience it live. He had a little excited look in his eyes as he stared at me making me remove my gaze from him, as I am just a toy to him to remove his boredom. Blazing Arius comes into view making my blood go cold. Even his men keep their distance while talking to him.

" You took a long time, Luca, for this task." He sounded calm in his voice but his voice was cold enough to freeze anyone. He came into light, eye stabbing me, he went into the dark side of the room. His footsteps were roaring in the room. We are nearly seven eight people but his presence made us stitch the mouth. As he came into light again, my eyes widened making my throat go dry.

" No No No No, AHHHHHH" That bastard came towards me with a drilling machine in his hand, I thought he would use a knife or something but No. He brought something unimaginable and without muttering another word he drilled my thigh. My screams are resonating throughout the room.

Blades of drill were cutting my flesh, leaving it teared roughly making blood splashing all over us. I screamed at the top of my lungs, burning my throat but his face didn't even show a flinch. I tried to move but all my efforts went in vain. He had a maniac smile on his face and his eyes were shining in dark, fucker was enjoying the show. Rot in hell you Bastard. Finally, he stopped. As I was busy composing myself with a new pain and controlling my breathing he drilled my hand mercilessly. New trails of pain were shooting my spine, draining whole energy from my body. A throat tearing screams left me, making his men shiver. Even they turned their faces away from me, shutting their eyes. Few of them covered their backs. One of them nearly screamed but put his hand on mouth to suppress it. He turned glaring towards him as he heard a subtle huff from one of his men. He shivered and bowed down.

It gave me a few seconds to breathe. He is not asking anything. What does he want from me? He raised his hand to hold the drilling machine in his both hands and he approached mine head. I was shivering like a leaf in a storm. This man is totally crazy, he is more threatening than his actual rumors. Why the fuck, I agreed to do that?

" I -- w-ill, t-ell." I tried to speak but my whole throat started burning and it felt dry. God, graced me as he stopped and put the machine down on the blooded floor. My eyes were hooded, I could only see someone standing , that's it. All my energy is concentrated on breathing. I heard his Chuckle as turned around, holding a sinister smirk on his face.

" What Salvatore is looking for?" He asked while taking a seat in the chair. I tried to open my eyes completely but I didn't have any energy. If I tell him the truth, he will kill my wife, I can't.

" c- ons-ign--ment." I spoke with great difficulty. As I completed my sentence he grabbed my shirt and hurled me against the wall, my head hit it and blood started flowing like water. I could only hear my beating heart. Everything went silent for a while. With my half open eye, I saw a metallic shine on his hand. I don't even know what it is but it was but I opened my mouth to stop him but nothing came out.

His men came forward and dragged in front of him. His eyes are like showering fire at me.

" One more chance, what is he looking for?" His voice is like he is screeching my soul from inside. I didn't have an option for that. I have a family, and the responsibility of my wife. If I told him, my boss would kill her and I didn't tell him, he would kill me. I don't want to die. No one wants to die. Whole room started spinning around.

" H-er. Sh-e is al-ive." I gathered all my courage to speak. I was supported by two of his men by my shoulder. My head was hanging down as my main concern was my life.

" Who?" He asked loudly, making me and his men flinch. Their grasp on me tightens and one of them pulls my hair up to see blood bathed Arius Accardo. He had an evil smile on his face, mocking me for my failed belief system and trying to protect myself. Someone has named him right. Arius - death. He took his name pretty seriously.

" Ari-" before I could complete anything I heard a loud sound.

" Bang" ......

Arius Accardo POV,

Aria, how dared he to take her name? Wait, She is alive? She is alive. That day, still fresh in my mine. How can I forget that day. It was the first and last time I saw her that day, the day my life changed, the day all light from my life got sucked out of it like Aria. I don't know how to feel in this situation? Should I be happy that she isn't dead or should I worry that Salvatore is looking for her and I don't know where she is right now?
