The Mafia's Queen: Entangled With A Psycho.

Leo's mood wasn't at its best after he left Becca's apartment. He wasn't angry at Becca for not feeling the same way for him, just wasn't satisfied. Though he wasn't rejected, Becca still didn't say the words he wanted to hear.

The words he would kill to hear her say.

It was like when he took one step forward, she took two backward and it was getting a little frustrating. The most infuriating part of the whole ordeal was that he knew that she liked him, her actions gave it away, but when it came to giving a name to what they had between them when it came to accepting their relationship, she becomes unsure. Fucking confused.

Leo noticed that she was the type that didn't like commitments, relationships, she said it scared her. He also wasn't too big on relationships, well not until he met her again after so long and was willing to give anything to have her as his woman.

To keep her with him

And that's where the selfishness kicked in.

Leo wanted to be selfish, he wanted her to himself, he wanted her to realize that she wanted him as well, he wanted her to have as many feelings for him as he did for her but that couldn't happen when she was still fucking confused. Her brain was interfering with her heart, the fear was ruining everything.

No matter how much he did to make her care about him, the effects of his efforts wouldn't show if that fear was still there. 

Fear. Sadness. Guilt.

Those emotions took over her more than anything else could, consumed her. Fucking ruled her. And those same emotions were what were stopping her from truly letting go of the hurt. Those high walls of ice acted like a fucking barrier to block out people from entering her heart, it was what was still stopping Leo.

There was always the option of kidnapping her and forcing himself on her but that would just complicate matters and push her further away from him. Plus he didn't want her to hate him for it. Even though it would kill him, which it will, he would wait for her to come to him on her but it didn't mean that he wouldn't give her a little push. 

He would carve himself in her heart if he had to.

Leo drove to somewhere he could blow off some steam, to clear out all the annoyance he felt inside him. He went to the dungeon of his base and walked through the cells, looking for an unfortunate soul he would send to hell. Since Leo didn't have anyone new on his hit list, he just picked a random cell and a random prisoner who offended him in the past. A person that out of the goodness of his heart, he let live, but now that goodness was gone and it was time for him to pay with blood.

Leo unlocked the cell door and walked inside then locked it behind him. Like the predator he was, Leo stalked towards the prisoner who lay on the cold bare floor. The prisoner looked skinny, definitely not how he was before he got trapped in Leo's clutches and when he heard a sound from the door, he flinched.

His head immediately jerked up to see who it was, then his facial expression turned to one of horror and his body began to tremble when he saw Leo walking towards him. He instantly backed up to the wall, trying to run despite knowing that there was no escape.

A vicious grin appeared on Leo's face as he closed in on his target, the sacrificial lamb that after he killed would hopefully make him feel better.

" Where are you going, Bruno? You didn't look scared when you sent men to assassinate me last month, so why are you now?" Leo taunted and squatted on the floor to look the petrified man in the eye.

" Please don't kill me, Leonardo. You have already taken everything away from me, my house, my business, my family, what else do you need? Please spare me." The man named Bruno begged. He felt weak but still got on his knees to beg Leo, who was half his age, for mercy.

Yes, Bruno did send assassins to kill Leo, they had been business rivals for quite some time and it was normal for rivals to be hostile towards one another. But Bruno's mistake here was thinking he could pull off such a useless stunt and get away with it. He should have known that Leo wasn't an easy man to kill, many people had tried but failed.

The evil ones don't die easily.

The bastard pushed his luck and unfortunately ran out of it. He wanted to kill Leo so he could take him out of the way but now the tables had turned against him. Leo was the one who would kill him and would do it in the most painful of ways.

" If you think your pleas will set you free, then I'm sorry to say, but nothing in this world would save you from what I'm going to do to you." Leo harshly grabbed Bruno's jaw and forced him to stand up. Bruno, who still shook violently, kept pleading for his life but when that plea wasn't answered, he started begging for Johnny to be the one to torture him. He knew that Johnny was more gentle compared to the beast that was Leonardo Kane.

That was even one of the reasons why Leo recruited Johnny in the first place. Johnny was gentle and didn't end up killing the prisoners before actually getting information from them unlike Leo, who could kill the people he wanted to torture with fear before he even touched them.

He chained Bruno up, still rocking a psychotic grin on his face, and brought out his toolbox. Leo pushed a lever switch that raised the chains that bound Bruno, lifted the bastard above the ground till he started dangling.

After tightening the chains, Leo opened his toolbox and took out a plier which he used to pluck all of Bruno's toes off. Screams of agony from Bruno filled the cell but Leo didn't mind the deafening bawls, he liked it in fact, it gave him a sense of satisfaction.

Talk about being fucked up.

When Leo was done with Bruno's toes, still with a psychotic grin on his face, he picked up a chainsaw and started just to scare the shit out of Bruno. And after getting the reaction of fear that he wanted, Leo laughed hysterically and dropped the chainsaw.

" I see that you hate chainsaws, let me tell you what, today I will be kind enough to let you pick the torture device I will use on you today," Leo said and brought his toolbox closer to Bruno. " I'm going to count to ten and if you don't choose, I will do it for you," Leo added and started counting.

Bruno's eyes moved from one tool to another, looking for the least deadly but couldn't find it because he knew that anything in Leo's hands could be a lethal weapon. He later ended up picking a screwdriver and it turned out to be the worst mistake he had ever made.

Leo's grin widened when he saw the tool Bruno had chosen and picked up the screwdriver. He stared at it for a while, and scratched it on the floor to make the tip rougher, then forcefully stabbed it into Bruno's ribcage and twisted it while it was still inside him.

Leo pulled out the screwdriver from Bruno's body and stabbed it again in the same hole. He did this repeatedly until he was satisfied then moved to another body part and did the whole thing over again there. After making eight deep holes on different body parts, leaving Bruno on the verge of death as he had already lost a ton of blood.

He didn't even have the strength to keep screaming.

" Please, Leonardo, you are going to kill me anyway, just do it already. Put me out of my misery, please. Stop this torture, please." Bruno cried, now begging for death. A quick one, and not the slow painful one Leo wanted to give him.

" Killing you now would be too easy, but if you want death so badly, I can always feed you to my dogs. I'm sure they would love to taste your flesh." Leo rubbed the bloody screwdriver on Bruno's arm. " I have gotten bored using this screwdriver, pick something else. I will count again." Leo started counting to ten again, but this time Bruno didn't pick anything, he was too weak to do so. Leo finished counting and look at Bruno with a devilish smirk dancing on his lips when he saw that he didn't pick anything. His eyes twinkled with a sick mischievous gleam.

While keeping eye contact with Bruno, Leo took out all the tools in the box, dropping them on the floor until he reached the bottom of the box and find the one he wanted. He brought out a small dagger and waved it at Bruno. Leo saw how petrified Bruno looked when he saw the blade and let out a demented laugh. He moved to the lever switch and lowered Bruno down so his feet would touch the floor. 

" You were the one who begged for death and now you're shaking, how pathetic." Leo taunted and took a few seconds to marvel at his masterpiece. Bruno's body was brutally injured and covered with blood. His legs were too weak that he couldn't even stand straight.

Leo nodded his head in satisfaction, gripping the dagger in his hand tighter, and strode closer to Bruno. Again looking like the predator he was, Leo raised the dagger and stabbed it into Bruno's left eye, causing the injured man to scream in pain until he took his last breath.

Leo then stared at the dead body in front of him in disdain, still feeling the same way he did when he came there and went ahead to wipe the blood off his hands. He left Bruno's body chained up and walked out of the dungeon to the exit of the building. As he was about to reach his car that was parked outside, a black car with tinted windows drove towards him and stopped just inches away from where he stood.

The backseat window of the car wined down and Leo frowned upon seeing the person in the car.

" Grandfather." Leo gritted his teeth in anger.

" Get into the car, Leonardo.. I have something to speak to you about."
