Chapter 153

Rico

"You are right, He is my man" A bullet goes off in the air, and that brings our attention back to the present. " Enough of chit-chat. See, I have been living in hell for the three months you kept him away from me." Mia mumbles with her gun still pointed at the groaning Bella. The right leg has a fresh bullet hole in the knee.

" Dante here" She points at one of the unfamiliar guys she came with. "Promised me he would personally deliver you to me. Thank you, Dante" She smirks at Dante guy and I furrow my brows. They look familiar but who are they?

"Let me go. Rico, you have to stop them" Bella wails but it falls on dead ears. I have always wanted to get rid of her.

"This one is for looking at him" Mia shoots the other knee and wordlessly motions to the table next to me. One of the guys approaches and picks a dagger and pliers and turns away after silently nodding at me.

"You will tell me where to find Maxim and after that, I will slowly kill you. How about that?" Mia gently smiles like what she just said is normal talk to her.

"You can go to hell, Mia. I am not talking"

"Mmh" Mia shrugs and chuckles. "Okay with me. You have to pay for causing me so much pain either way" She smiles and faces the guy with the weapons. "Help me cut off her fingers, Diego. The fingers that she used to hold Rico's hand for fucking three months. All of them" Mia sneers as her face scrunch in annoyance.

I only held that woman's hand once, and that was the other day when we went shopping. She was the one to cling to me and I couldn't push her away because we were in public. I can't tell Mia that though, she will think I am standing up for her.

"My pleasure, sis," Diego says and crouches to the whimpering girl. I move my attention back to Mia and watch her as she stares at what is happening with a serene face. She doesn't show any emotion and my eyes land on her heels. She must feel uncomfortable spending more than ten hours wearing them.

Bella's wail brings my attention back to her. All her fingers are chopped and she is painfully gasping for air.

"Where do I find Maxim and Ryan?" Mia moves forward and wordlessly, plants the dagger in her hands in one of Bella's bullet wounds. Is this the same delicate and vulnerable girl from this morning?

" I don't know what you are talking about" Bella defiantly grits out and the second knee receives the same treatment. Right now Mia looks like a different person. She is not a shy girl anymore.

" Talk"

" Fuck you" Bella spits out. Her knees are intensely bleeding and she is wiggling in her chair like the metals will loosen if she does that.

" No thank you. I don't fuck cheap whores" Mia mumbles, wiping the dagger on Bella's bloody clothes. " Let me try this again, where is your boss?" she raises the blade and buries it in Bella's thigh. Her screams engulf the whole room but everyone stands unshaken. Especially the girl crouching in front of her.

"Just a little heads up though, you will die today. No one steals from me and goes unpunished. You should have thought about it before keeping my man for three fucking months. Now where do we find them?" she roughly twists the knife while holding eye contact with her victim.

This time, Bella doesn't talk but only whimpers in pain. Her face is covered with tears and sweat. Her legs and hands are bleeding away and I'm scared she might pass out before revealing the location.

"I will count to five" Mia stands up and replaces the knife with her gun.

" One" silence

"Two, Three, Four, Five" Each time she counts, she pulls the trigger, aimlessly raining bullets into Bella's body.

" One" Mia starts again and for the first time since we got here, the proud bitch finally surrenders.

" I am sorry, Mia. For the sake of our friendship, stop it please" Bella pitifully whispers between hiccups.

"Come on Bella, we were never friends. You were on a mission and I was stupid enough to consider your fake ass. The faster you talk the better for you. Delaying means, more pain"

"I don't know where they are, Maxim keeps changing locations and I haven't seen him in months" Bella weakly whispers. From the looks, She won't be here for long.

"I am not surprised because you know why?" Mia places the gun muzzle on Bella's chin and lifts it" Maxim doesn't give a damn about anyone, you were just a useless pawn to him."

"Forgive me, Mia. Rico never touched me, I swear"

"See you in hell Bella" Mia moves the gun under her chin and pulls the trigger. The room remains quiet and to say I am shocked is

an understatement.

I guess this is my real world.
