The male hung from the wall by chains and handcuffs his face bloody, he’s face and body dirty. Gianni and his brothers stood in the cold damp room looking at him. Gianni stepped forward looking at the man. ‘Who sent you?’

He looked up and laughed.

The knuckle duster shots across his face blood emerged from his mouth, he spat it out. ‘I’ll never tell you never.

It crashed across his face again. ‘I’ll ask you again. Who the fuck sent you?’

‘I’ll die before I tell you anything.’

‘So be it .’

Gianni exchanges his knuckle duster for a bladed glove. It sliced across the man's face and body repeatedly. ‘Are you ready to talk?’

The man looked dead at him. He positioned his hand above his head and went to swoop down. ‘Bianchi.’

He lowered his arm. ‘Now that wasn’t hard was it.’ He looked at his brothers. ‘Torture them and send them back to him let him know I mean business.’ He said walking out.

Gianni closed the door behind him walking into the lounge. He looked at Raven? ‘How is she?’

‘She’s fine.’

‘Where is she?’

‘The shower.’ He looked at Gianni. ‘So did you get a name?’

‘I did let the games begin.’

Alora walked in freshly clothed hands and looked at Gianni disapprovingly. He kissed her and she flinched. ‘What’s wrong babe?’

‘Don’t call me babe?’

‘ALORA?!’ He said Sternly.

‘You really thought that little of me that you had to marry me to gain your father’s business.’

He looked at Raven. ‘She had to know the truth Gianni.’

‘How much did you tell her?’

‘Everything.’

‘Fuck.’ He looked at Alora. ‘I’m sorry I was going to tell you.’

‘So why didn’t you?’

‘I didn’t want you to freak out and leave.’

‘What a heap of bullshit Gianni. We were friends. I thought you could tell me anything, but I guess I was wrong.’

‘I’m sorry babe.’

‘Was I just a joke to you all his time?’

‘No I’ve always loved you, you know that. I returned to the U.K. for you, you were the only woman I ever wanted to marry and that’s the truth.’

He stepped closer. She stepped back. ‘Go to hell Gianni and go fuck one of your whores cause you and your dick is coming nowhere near me ever! She said storming out.

‘I can’t deal with this shit right now take care of her.’

‘Where are you going?’

‘Out and that’s all you need to know.’

‘But.’

‘Goodbye Raven.’ He said walking out slamming the door behind him.

Raven went upstairs knocking on the door. ‘Go away.’

‘It’s me let me in.’

The door unlocked her eyes were puffy and red. ‘Where is he?’

‘Not here and no I don’t know where he’s gone before you ask.’

She moved out the way he stepped into the room she closed the door walking back over to the best lying down. He walked over lying beside her. ‘He’s angry.’

‘So am I Raven. I thought I knew him and it turns out I know Jack shit about him.’ She cried.

He placed his arm around her pulling her towards him. ‘He’ll calm down. but will you?’

‘I honestly don’t know. I’m just really pissed at the moment. I didn’t mean what I said.’

‘I know.’

Gianni sat in the bar drinking scotch on the rocks. Watching the dancers he used to come here to calm himself down now he was here again riled up. He had a few more as a girl approached him right now he didn’t care this was what he needed after his blow up with Alora.

He pushed her to the door kissing her hungrily wrapping her legs round him pushing in having sex with her.
