The Mafia's Queen: Entangled With A Psycho.

A frown marred Becca's face as she watched her arch-nemesis approaching the table she and Leo sat at. She narrowed her eyes at the Jezebel herself, the girl that made her high school years hell, the same girl Navaya almost killed with a chair. Raquel Gonzalez. The queen bee back in Becca's class in high school, a big jerk was what she was back then and now too apparently. Though Becca never really had anything against the little bitch, I mean girl, it seemed that the girl just had it out for Becca and even after five years of not seeing each other, she still hated Becca for no reason.

" Haven't you ever heard of a glow up, Becca? Looks like people don't change after all." Raquel taunted as she got to their table, flashing Becca a smirk. And with Raquel standing behind him, Leo balled his hands into fists under the table, feeling tempted to turn and look at the creature that had the guts to insult his woman. The person he would be taking to hell tonight. His eyes looked at the knife on the table and a thought popped into his mind.

' Why not just end her pathetic life right now?' He thought and reached out for the knife but just as he was about to turn and send it flying to Raquel's neck, Becca's voice stopped him.

" You didn't change much as well, the only thing different is that you upgraded to level two of being a bitch. So good for you." Becca sassed and Leo settled back down on his chair.

'Cazzo, that's my girl' Leo said proudly in his head.

Regina thought her well, he should have never doubted Becca's ability to handle situations like this.

Taken aback and rendered speechless by the girl she used to bully in freshman year of high school, Raquel's eyes glared vicious daggers at Becca who, as much as she hated to say, had become even more stunning than she remembered her to be.

While trying to come up with a sassy comeback, Raquel's eyes wandered to the man sitting with Becca. Handsome wasn't even a good enough word to use when describing him. But the question here was what was a gorgeous man like him doing here having lunch alone with a person like Becca, a person who never seemed attracted to men. From what she saw, they seemed to be on a date. To be honest, Raquel had always thought Becca might have been lesbian from her lack of attraction for men but turns out that exactly sexy was Becca's type after all.

Raquel only had the view of Leo's back but that was all it took to convince her that man was definitely a hunk. She was going in, the man was too beautiful not to talk to or even snatch if the need arises.

She moved towards Leo and stood by his side. A little gasp escaped her lips when she saw his face, his devilish beauty.

It was panty-melting. Just too sexy for her poor eyes.

Smiling like the seductress she was, she moved closer to Leo. Bursting out all her acts of seduction on him.

" Hello handsome, what's your name?" Raquel asked in a smutty voice, extending her hand out for a shake.

Leo looked at Raquel's face then her outstretched hand in disdain, feeling disgusted by her very presence. Not to talk about the fact that she had intentionally insulted his woman and now had the guts to flirt with him like that.

Was she blind? Couldn't she see that he was spending time with Becca? How dare she interrupt them?

" I don't shake hands," Leo responded in a cold voice and moved his eyes off her to look at Becca instead, the person he wanted to look at forever. Leaving Raquel's hand hanging in mid-air. Raquel for the second time that afternoon was taken aback.

'Did he just refuse me? How? No man had ever been able to reject me like that before and it was all because of Becca? That snake!' Raquel said furiously in her head after being badly burnt by Leo's words.

' How could a man that sexy be so mean?'

Becca sat quietly watching the scene in front of her, smirking both inside out and feeling her attraction for Leo skyrocketing. He just seemed to have it all; good looks, humor, and a Savage side. Plus he was a sweetheart for rejecting Raquel's ass like that.

Serves Raquel right. She should go bark at another tree.

" Okay, bye then," Raquel said to Leo with the remaining pride she had left and walked away from their table. Leo smiled at Becca who bit her lip on a laugh.

" I don't shake hands." Becca mimicked. " Says the guy who couldn't keep his hands to himself on the plane."

" You say it as if I did something unspeakable to you," Leo said and laughed when he saw Becca roll her eyes at him.

" Is that all you think about? hmph, Shameless!" She playfully huffed and he pinched her cheeks.

" I can't be shameless for talking about it. Just wait until we do it first before you start calling me that." He said with his seductive accent, fucking smirking at her like the perverted man he was.

" Fuck you." Becca shot him a glare which he laughed at.

The feisty little kitten wanted to scratch him again.

" With pleasure, just tell me when," Leo replied, causing Becca's eyes to bulge out in shock.

Shameless!

Becca couldn't take it anymore. She picked up her purse and stood up from her seat. Without looking back or even caring that Leo was trailing closely behind her, Becca walked out of the restaurant and stood by the sidewalk to call a taxi. But Leo, being the man he was, still wouldn't let her get into that repulsive vehicle and drove her home himself since she didn't have any more work to do in her office. He dropped her off at her apartment and just like last time, he stole another kiss from her. Make that two.

Such a thief.

Leaving Becca breathless once again after torching all her brain cells with his hot kisses. And just like before, she let him.

It was like a fucking vicious circle.

Leo left Becca at her apartment with a smile on his face but as soon as he got back into his car, his smile fell.

" Drive to the base," Leo ordered his driver who instantly started the car. Already knowing where Leo was referring to, he drove the car out of the city to Leo's next destination.

They reached the base after a while and Leo got out of the car. His eyes burnt with unreleased anger that accumulated in him as he walked into the large vicinity. Knowing exactly where he was going, Leo went into the building in the compound and headed straight into the dungeon.

Looking like the grim reaper himself, Leo walked past many cells and the intensity of his eyes doubled when he reached the one he wanted then opened the door. He saw one of the scumbags, who dared to set his warehouse on fire, hanging upside down, screaming, and Johnny busy carving random shit on his body with a knife. The man was already lost all his toes, his whole body full of deep cuts, and his face brutally broken. His clothes were soaked with blood. His own blood.

It would be a miracle if he still had his dick with him.

Johnny could be a brute sometimes.

Johnny turned around on hearing the sound of the door opening but went back to what he was doing when he saw it was just Leo.

" Damnit Johnny, remind me never to get on your bad side."

Leo instantly whipped his head in the direction where the extremely familiar voice was coming from.

" Thiago?" Leo called out when he recognized the voice as his cousin's. Thiago who sat on a wooden chair watching the spectacle Johnny was making turned around, his eyes shooting out of their sockets when he saw his cousin standing behind him.

" Cousin, why are you here?" Thiago asked, shaking under his cousin's scrutinizing gaze. Thiago knew his cousin would be angry to see him there, Leo didn't like him knowing about mafia business not to talk more of getting involved in it but he couldn't help himself. He was curious.

" I own this place, I should be asking you that question." Leo retorted and raised a questioning brow at his little cousin before turning to Johnny. " What is this Johnny? Since when did we start allowing minors in here?"

Johnny dropped his bloody knife on the small table next to him and wipe his hands with a cloth.

" I'm not his mother, he can take care of himself," Johnny said and Leo stared at his friend in disbelief.

" He is fucking seventeen, what can he do?" Leo countered, causing Thiago's jaw to drop to the floor.

" I'm eighteen, you know," Thiago said with a frown. He hated being treated like a child and that's all his cousin Leo ever did.

" Talk to me when you are old enough to legally drink." Leo snorted and walked over to where Johnny stood admiring his creation.

" He honestly looks good this way," Johnny said referring to the bloody man and Leo nodded in agreement.

" Yeah, but I could have done better." Leo boasted and Johnny shook his head at his friend's behavior. " So what's this one's problem?"

" Loyalty test and he failed. Lazzerro is your guy." Johnny reported still staring at the living corpse. " He must still be upset that you shot his favorite hoe"

" I guess you are right, I must have gone too far with the poor old man. Perhaps sending him a gift would make him feel better." Leo said smiling deviously at the dangling man and his words containing a hidden meaning in them that Johnny seemed to understand immediately.

" The hounds also haven't had a wholesome meal in a while now. What I see here is an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone." Johnny said, grinning like a maniac.

Thiago stood behind the two men who seemed to be communicating in their own secret code or something. He racked his brain to understand the message in between the lines and his skin crawled in disgust when he finally solved the riddle.

" You guys are sick," Thiago said, frowning in disgust. Leo turned around and shot him a warning with his eyes.

" Go home," Leo commanded his cousin but being the rebellious young adult that Thiago was, he stumped his foot on the floor and refused to move.

" No" Thiago refused and earned himself a death glare from Leo.

" Boy, I will chain you to your room if you don't get out." Leo raised his voice at his cousin who instantly flinched.

" Chill, Leo. Like you didn't do worse when you were his age." Johnny laughed and Leo redirected his glares to him.

" I only did worse because of your influence." Leo retorted, not liking that Johnny was defending Thiago.

" True but who cares? Let's go finish this up." Johnny said and walked towards the door. "And kid, you are welcome to watch the show if you like."

" Really?" TThiago'seyes instantly lit up with joy but flinched again when he felt Leo's glares literally boring holes through his head.

Thiago feared Leo, like who wouldn't after seeing the ruthless side of him. He knew Leo, he knew how his anger could get and the crazy things he did when he got provoked. He didn't want to get on his cousin's hit list because Leo wouldn't think twice about killing him if he did.

They walked out of the dungeon and went to the fighting arena stadium where the assassins trained. Following behind, Leo's other men dragged the bloody mess of a man and threw him in the middle of the arena.

Leo, Johnny, and Thiago sat on the stadium seats where they could get a good view of the show and at the same time not get blood splattered on them.

The bloody man laid half-dead on the floor, not knowing what was going to happen to him next.

" Release the hounds," Leo commanded with an emotionless face, now looking scarier than the grim reaper himself. Without any delays, Leo's men released six scary-looking cane Corso dogs from the chains that bound them. Allowing them to walk around freely. Then they noticed the meat ( the half-dead man) in their midst but despite that, the dogs didn't approach it. They just stood there looking in the direction of their master as if waiting for his permission. This made Leo smile with pride, feeling satisfied that he had trained his dogs well and wanted to reward them for their good behavior.

He looked at his dogs and with a dark grim, he commanded; " Eat" He pointed at the man laying on the ground. After that one command, the dogs didn't need to be told twice. They started barking and charged towards the man but before he could even get up, not to talk of running, the dogs were already on him. Sinking their vicious-looking canines into his flesh and ripping him to pieces. Screams of pain and agony fill the air as the dog devoured the man's flesh.

Thiago was the first one to look away, he couldn't take it anymore. How could someone be so cruel? If Leo intended to kill the man from the start, then why not just shoot him on the head and get it over with? Why do something so barbaric?

Leo on the other hand watched the entire show. Not looking away even once and fucking enjoyed it, like the fucked up psycho he was. This wasn't even the first time Leo had made his dogs eat people, no, he had done it many times before but not too frequently though. He liked hearing the screams of agony from the people he tortured. It sounded like fucking sweet music to his ears.

What Thiago didn't know was that as much as Leo could have easily just shot the people dead, his dear cousin enjoyed slowly torturing them. Leo only shot people he had mercy on, giving them a quick and easy death.

After letting his dogs eat their fill, Leo stood up and walked towards them.

Noticing their master was approaching, they moved away from the half-eaten corpse as if letting him see the great job they had done on it.

On seeing how mutilated the man's body was, Leo smiled in satisfaction and patted his dogs on the head.

" Get me an axe" He commanded one of his men who instantly rushed and brought it for him.

" Here boss." The man said, handing Leo the axe and moved away. Leo took it and checked how sharp it was. Seeing as it was sharp enough to do the job, Leo lifted it in the air, and right on target, he landed it on the dead man's neck. Severing his head from his body with just one hit.

" wrap his head up and send it to Lazzerro's house as a gift. Let him know that this is the same fate he will face if he keeps messing with me.. He has been warned."
