Fate
A cruel thing.
All my life, I never cursed or feared it. The thought of destiny never crossed my mind. My actions and deeds never bothered me, neither the guilt crawled my spine as poisonous spiders. But now, the tentacles of lies suffocate me. Its vice grip on my throat and body is affecting my thinking capability. Every time I look at Crystal, it chokes me reminding the tortures I dawned on her.
I adjusted my tie and turn towards the bed where Crystal was still sleeping. It's 2 in the morning, yet I have to go to work. In these past nine months, the business has fallen behind. The associates and partners that once didn't dare to stare in my eyes now think of me a weakling. The constant victories of Russians have made everybody lose belief in Italians. But very few know that the real boss has returned. And now, it's time for retribution.
