(Axton's POV)
"Do you love me?"
A woman dressed to the knees in a red dress was seen hugging a large man who was standing without a shirt.
The man with the thick mustache took the woman's hand and pulled her forward, when they both faced each other, the man kissed the woman's red lips.
"Perhaps, I should be the one to ask you that. The fact that you still have a relationship with your husband is proof enough. It bothers me that I have to come to you in secret, but I want everyone in Rome and the rest of the world to know that you are mine, Maria."
The woman, named Maria, then smiled broadly while holding the man with the thick mustache's face. The look in his eyes shows that he adores the figure of the man in front of him.
"Come on, my lovely D'Angelo, you're the only one who truly understands why I'm still with Axton. I just--.”
BRAK!
The door swung open, and I stepped inside, my face flushed with rage. I had a gun in my hand and ready to shoot someone.
"Axton?!"
The woman appeared terrified and quickly released her arms from the man with the thick mustache known as D'Angelo, the leader of Italy's most feared mafia cartel. I was D'Angelo's confidante, so this caught him off guard.
"MARIA! WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME? WHY?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH HIM?!"
Angrily, I pointed at D'Angelo. I no longer regarded the man as my leader.
"Wait a minute, Axton! Don't blame Maria, instead, blame yourself for not making time for her. He doesn't want to demand anything from you; all he wants is a companion in his spare time. You have to be aware if you can't give Maria that thing," D'Angelo said casually, not feeling guilty at all after the two-year affair was revealed.
Of course, I could not accept D'Angelo's sentence. During this time, I always followed my leader's orders to travel and supervise the shipment of drugs and weapons to America and beyond.
My rage increased dramatically in an instant. I would initially only focus on my wife, but D'Angelo's words had just hurt me so much that I immediately aimed the gun at the man, whose full name was D'Angelo Moretti.
"Wow, Axton, you seem really brave now. Don’t you require money in your daily life? Or are you sick and tired of living?" With a chuckle, D'Angelo inquired.
"I WISH YOU WOULD DIE! YOU WILL NOT BE MY LEADER AGAIN!! WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY WIFE?"
My voice broke the night's silence; the noise was so loud that my ten-year-old daughter awoke and ran over to the commotion.
"Daddy!" she screamed, immediately embracing her father. In fact, my daughter more like Axton than Maria. She'd also seen Maria out with D'Angelo several times. She just didn't have the guts to tell it with me.
Seeing the child who had arrived forced me to regulate my emotions. I immediately tucked the gun I was holding into my trouser pocket. I didn't want my daughter to witness anything bad.
"Miley, back to your room. This is just a casual conversation, okay? "
I appeared to bend down and entice the little girl to leave the room. The child, however, refused my request and hugged my legs even tighter. She didn't want to leave the tense situation.
Maria stepped in when she saw the child's persistence. She grabbed my hand and affectionately hugged me.
"Miley, nothing happened between us. It's getting late, and you should go to bed. We're only playing a part," Maria spoke softly.
I nodded and placed my head on Maria's shoulder to recover for a moment so Miley wouldn't get worse seeing her parents.
Miley's eyes sparkled as she looked at her parents, and she nodded slowly. Miley finally got up after nearly two minutes of her footsteps walking forward towards the door.
Maria let go of her arms around my waist as soon as the door closed. "Perhaps this is a good time to be honest," she said, glaring at me from the front, “I can't stay with you any longer, Axton. I'm sorry, but you must accept. I'd rather be with D'Angelo."
My chest tightened. I didn't believe my wife's words because everything was so painful. I also tried to persuade Maria by kneeling at her feet, hoping that my wife would stop making mistakes.
"Please, Maria. Don't leave me! I beg you, I will always accompany you!"
Maria shook her head and moved from in front of me to next to D'Angelo. I locked my gaze on the two of them, my eyes welling up with tears that were about to down.
"HA HA HA! Give it up, Axton. Do you remember who I am? You don't remember if everyone was going to lose to me? Never think you'll win. Maria has already made the best decision!" exclaimed D'Angelo. He locked his gaze on me while wrapping his arm around Maria.
Hearing that, I already raging rage erupted. My hand instinctively drew the gun from the pocket and fired at D'Angelo.
Dor!
The bullet pierced Maria's body quickly. Yup! When the sound of gunshots rang out, Maria immediately braced herself. Maria's body fell and was covered in blood in an instant. I immediately screamed her name.
"MARIA! MARIA, NO!"
Dag!
I awoke from my slumber. When my breath was caught, I looked around and realized that I was still in Rebibbia's prison. I rose from my bed and sat with the head down. Sweat soaked on my body. I really hate when the nightmare comes and it's making me want to die.
***
(Robert's POV)
I was working on a crossword puzzle on the top mattress and realized what was going on. I heard his breathe I dared to rebuke Axton. I heard his loud breathe so clearly, like he just finished marathon.
"You didn't sleep, sir?" I inquired, my little head poking out from under the mattress handle.
"I just woke up from a nightmare," Axton said as he looked up and shook his head.
"Um... that must be really annoying. Do you want some candy? I have one that might help you to relax.”
I extended my hand to Axton.
"Thank you very much, Robert," Axton said. He took the candy and immediately ate it.
Curiosity surrounds me, and I asked him again. I just curious as to what had happened to the former member of the most powerful mafia cartel.
“Could you tell me about your dreams? But, Sir, if you don't want to talk about it, that's fine,” I wisely stated.
Axton sighed and replied, "The worst and most terrifying dream of my life," with a lopsided smile and a blank stare ahead, he said again, “I had a dream about shooting my wife."
It had been three hours since Axton had woken from his dream. I haven't fallen asleep yet. This is very annoying, because we have to get up very early tomorrow, to do the mutual cleaning of this old prison.Even though, I am the type of person who falls asleep easily, especially after feeling at ease in this cell, I would have fallen asleep when everyone was still talking. Tonight feels different in some ways. Maybe, it's because of my curiosity regarding Axton's dream. When I asked him to explain his dream, the fierce man chose to remain silent and immediately returned to his bed.The occupants of block G-28 snorted loudly, making it even more difficult for me to concentrate while trying to sleep. My eyes had grown tired of staring up at the dimly lit cell ceiling. The moonlight streaming in through the top window should put me at ease. Unfortunately, that did not occur.Srrk.. Srrk...My bed suddenly moved amid the din of other people. I'm pretty sure it was due to Axton's movemen
We're back to cleaning the library today. It does take a while to organize this library, and the space is actually quite large. When Axton offered to come back with him, Monti and I were very pleased. Even some of the inmates were perplexed to see us because we appeared to be quite close to Axton. If we really were that close, I might be very content. I'm still curious about his life as of this morning. I sometimes wonder if it's disrespectful to think about Axton's passing and life experience, but it does sometimes weigh on my mind. Perhaps it can be said that now that I am beginning to feel in awe of Axton, my eyes are so transfixed by the strength of the strong man that I can't help but stare at him. “Robert, what do you see?” Axton realized if I was looking at him because I gasped. "Um... uh... Your muscles is absolutely amazing, sir! How could I have muscles like yours? I wondered!” Although it seems absurd, my rebuttal from just now can be considered quite effective. Axton
"That scary man isn't so scary after all! I hope we can get close, because if we do, everyone in this prison will surely be embarrassed by us! " Monti was very happy.I smiled to show that I agreed with what he said. In fact, I want it to happen soon very much. Also, D'Angelo was coming to see him, so Axton would definitely have something interesting to say."Do you know? I want to see D'Angelo's face so badly! Aren't you curious?" Monti turned his head and flicked his eyebrows up and down as he asked me.Right away, I didn't know what was going on and wondered if Monti's invitation was a little off. I immediately shook my head and said, "I see what you mean! But I don't have any plans to do it!""Robert, come on! You really are a bad person. This library is close to the VIP room. We can walk by and catch a glimpse of D'Angelo's face!"Even though I didn't want to, Monti still made me go with him and look into the VIP room where D'Angelo and Axton were meeting. I really want to do tha
Axton's POV "How dare you beat me!" This crazy man got back up from his position, and with a slightly injured face, he tried to throw a punch at me. I really don't want to cause trouble in this new prison, and I just want to be free and take my revenge on D'Angelo. But, it seems that this little cockroach doesn't understand the meaning of my punch just now. "What do you want?" I parried Liam's hand and gripped it tightly. His face was red from the pain. While the other two friends did not dare to move, they just sat with their faces down. "What are you doing? You don't want to help me? Do you want your life to end?!" he said as he turned to his two friends. He seemed emotional because no one was trying to help him. "Before you end their life, you will be the one to end it." I then pushed the body hard, the sound of a body slamming against the toilet door loudly sounded like a rock hitting aluminium. "I don't want to deal with a stinky rat like you, I don't even know who you ar
(Robert's POV)Today feels like the worst day I've ever had.I walked lazily into the cell, nervous. All activities were halted due to the uproar. Everyone was concerned when they looked at me. Bruno, who frequently teased me, approached me and patted me on the shoulder."Don't worry, Robert. You'll be fine."I nodded and walked resignedly to my bed in the corner. I was glued to Axton's bed just before climbing into the bunk upstairs. I'm not sure how the big guy is doing, but I'm afraid things will worsen because he stands up for me."Hey, are you all right?" If you feel uneasy, Robert, you can sleep at my place."I turned to face Monti, standing next to me, and all the other G28 members nodded in agreement."It's fine, I'm fine." I'm just afraid and concerned about Axton. "I... really feel bad...""Hey, lads! Relax, it's Axton's decision. "I don't think he'll blame you, if we look, he seems to like you," Tony said, faintly hearing the others agree with his sentence.When I turned to
(Axton's POV)People like them have severely beaten me for the first time. Angry? Clear. I hate all of them!That damn warden is taking advantage of his emotions on me, who didn't want to speak about D'Angelo's secrets."Shit!"My face is hideous. Bruises and blood predominate. Luckily, my eyes are not blind. Of course, if their blow blinds one side, I'm sure they'll regret making me like this.The blood flowing from my face looks like red wine. If I were a vampire, I might have grabbed it and drank all of this to increase my strength.I stepped out of the bathroom after cleaning myself for almost ten minutes. The boy's face was already standing facing me with a look like a kitten expecting a human caress.I'm sick and tired of being held up by apologies. Although I could get angry and hit him in the face, I wanted to sleep after all the wrong things."S-S-Sir… I-I-I want to say… thank you," said Robert, his voice shaking, it seemed like he was terrified of me."Okay, Robert. Now go b
Robert's POVI don't know if it's just my feelings, but it feels like everyone sees us differently, especially me."Hey, come on! You don't have to look at them all being cynical. Just eat your food, because among us, you're the only one left with a lot of food."The words that came out of Bruno's mouth immediately woke me up. I nodded my head and started eating the food.The imposition of this punishment is excessive. Four officers were surrounding us, and they guarded us closely. As is known, we are not allowed to go outside, and maybe they are worried that we will run away and break the rules.When you think about it, everyone prefers to be in a cell because they don't have to bother doing troublesome activities. Of course, it was boring, but we didn't have to be forced to break rocks or do other activities."Hey, can't we shower?" Tony asked one of the fat officers."No, you should be aware, among all the cells in this prison, G28 is the one that has a bathroom and a toilet. You c
Robert's POV"Come on, Monty!""Just beat Robert!""It's a very easy thing for you, Robert!"All the calls were heard only for Robert. Not one of the many people in this cell mentions my name. I can't blame them because I'm weak. In fact, I'm sure I will lose to Monti in less than a second."Damn, I didn't hear any of Robert's names mentioned. You have to support him!" said Monti with a chuckle. He looked at me with disdain.After a few weeks in this prison, it feels like Monti's face sucks today. Just watch out for him. If a miracle comes to me, he will surely be embarrassed!"I will support, Robert."Axton came back as an angel who saved me. He stood in the crowd and smiled broadly. Instantly everyone was wide-eyed and covered their mouths."It's not fair," said Monti, a frown on his face as if he was jealous that I had the support of a big-time mobster."This is very fair, Monti. Even you have the support of nine people, while he only has one support from an old man like me," said
"Well, that's really fitting," added Doan.I thought for a moment, "Hm.. Okay.""Well then, I'll ask Erika where is the address of the social institution where Axton is now," said Doan.I sat on the edge of the bed, I still couldn't understand it, how did the paper reappear, is this really an old chapter that hasn't ended yet?"I've asked Erika, just waiting for her reply," said Doan."Okay," I replied.POV: AXTONAxton was asleep, but suddenly her eyes opened and turned white, her mouth opened and said something, I don't know what she said, because only the movement of her lips was visible and her voice did not come out. At that time, Axton was alone in her room.Suddenly a black cloaked creature appeared in front of Axton, it bent towards Axton's face and blew something into her mouth.Axton's hands moved and tried to strangle herself, Axton's face started to turn red, she was having trouble breathing because of those hands. The figure then pulled Axton's tongue which was starting t
I chose to sleep on the floor, because the weather was very hot. I took off my clothes, only wearing a white singlet shirt and cartoon prints, I lay hot on the floor.I tried to close my eyes that were already sleepy, but every time I closed them, the image was always there, as if calling me to come see her. Axton, yes that image is of course Axton's shadow, every time I fall asleep she always comes wearing a white or black dress sitting on a long bench with a blank stare, I don't know why I can see such an illusion, whether it's a sign or just my longing that turned into a pseudo imagination in the brain."Do I really have to call him?" I mumbled to myself, I hate it when I want to sleep, I have to feel like this. Doan had caught up with Irvan, they were both really sleeping soundly. While I'm still struggling with thoughts that I don't really know what to do. I really want to go see him, but honestly there is a sense of trauma in my heart, I'm also confused why I can be fickle like
"Axton, let's eat your breakfast first," said the caretaker.Axton woke up from her sleep, she looked around, the psychiatrist who had accompanied her all night had gone home, now she was with the nursing home staff."Thank you ma'am," he said."Are you okay if you're left alone?" he asked."No, ma'am, I'm feeling better, I can be alone," Axton said."Okay then, don't forget to eat breakfast and your medicine, okay, Anya's doctor will come and accompany you again in an hour," said the officer.Axton nodded, she then lay back down on her bed, her gaze looking far away, she must have been thinking about all that again,"How long have I been here ma'am?" Axton asked."Until you are deemed to have recovered enough and the police officers have finished collecting information," said the officer."I'm also confused after this where to go and how," Axton said, her eyes widening."You don't need to think about it now, the most important thing is that you have to be able to recover all your tra
"I know it will be something very hard for you, but as much as possible I hope you are wise and slowly to release all the shadows of him that are inside you, remember we have all come this far, don't let you fall again the same him, we don't know what will happen in the future, who knows he will hold grudges and want to avenge everything that has happened, "said Doan.I looked down, "Yeah, I'm also trying really hard not to think about him.""Erika just panicked when she found out we were there, she was crying asking us to come back, too many people would cry if everything was repeated for the second time, Fredgie is still alive even though in prison, we don't know what kind of knowledge he has, "said Doan."I understand, thank you again for accompanying me until this moment, I really have no more words, you are all my best friends," I said."That's the importance of friends, we will not leave you when you are in trouble," said Doan, he held my shoulder.We then sat down and stared at
"WHAT DO YOU ALL WANT HA, WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY BROTHER WITH YOU! ROCK!!!!!!”"Don't involve them again, I have agreed to what you want, please let them all go," I said.“HAHAHAHA, Alright then I'll---“Suddenly, there were so many gunshots and footsteps, shouts from members guarding the upper door were also heard, I immediately turned to my brother, we just realized that one person was not taken, Mr. Fajar.Fredgie immediately ran to the exit, before he had time to go upstairs, a group of police came rushing in, apparently Fajar called the police and reported everything. In a moment, the police had surrounded the room.“HAND UP EVERYONE!!”"What is this?" asked Axton's mother so gently."We from the police received a report that here there is a practice of black magic that has claimed many victims," said the policeman while holding out his weapon.“Hahaha, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!” Suddenly Axton's mother screamed, her shrill ear hurting and scary.“WHY DO ANYONE BREAK EV
Suddenly the faces of the three of them became panicked, we looked at each other and then we hugged, to be honest we are only seventeen year olds who have no experience in dealing with supernatural things like this. Five minutes later, the knock reappeared. This time the knocking was repeated until the doorknob was played. We started screaming in fear. In the midst of that fear, my sister called."Hello kaaak!"“OPEN DOWN!” I immediately stopped whining and looked at my three best friends, then stood up and headed for the door. I slowly opened it while closing my eyes and what appeared this time was my sister, Nofi and Riko."Gosh, what are you guys doing," my sister said."Earlier before you, someone was knocking too but when I opened it there was no one, that's why we were scared," I said."Come on, maybe this hotel guard, the important thing today is that nothing strange happened, right?" my sister asked.I shook my head. My sister brought sponge and food for us, she put it on the
After discussing and convincing me, we decided to follow their car, Kak Nofi's house is a highway that is always used when we go to Puncak, we can easily wait for them on the side of the road and follow them.Two more hours to seven, we each showered and got ready to leave. We borrowed Nofi's clothes, I asked my friends to tell her parents that they might come home late or not even come and stay with me. After getting ready we left Nofi's house to a restaurant on the side of the road, we would eat and wait for them to pass there. Hopefully what we have planned does not fail, hopefully there is a clue that can lead me to the gate of escape from all this tense things.It's seven o'clock, we're all in the car, Axton still hasn't texted. Five minutes later, Axton texted me, saying they had started walking. We started to square off, our car parked facing the street, I sat in the front seat so I could see Fredgie's car. We had estimated that they might pass in fifteen or twenty minutes. Sur
"I'm sorry, Robert, I can't do anything," he said.“You don't have to do anything, you just need to stay with me and deal with this,” I said soothing Axton.Axton cried for a long time, we understand very well how shaken Axton's soul is if she has to keep witnessing this terrible event.My eyes fell on a car parked across the park, it was Fredgie's car. I calmed Axton down and told her that Fredgie's car was there.We immediately hid as much as possible among the bushes nearby. A few minutes passed, Fredgie came walking towards the car, he was on the phone, it was not clear where he had come from. Fredgie then left.We decided to go home, afraid that Fredgie would pretend to spy on us. I escorted Axton to the front of the market, she then walked towards the house. Her eyes are still red, I ask her not to cry anymore, and call me if something dangerous happens.Me and my three friends headed to my house, as planned today we will go to visit sister Nofi's neighbor, Nofi's house is appro
"Are you still old?" I sent the message to my sister.My sister replied, "No, in a minute".I can't wait for my brother to come, a long time, suddenly someone pulled the chair in front of me, Fredgie."You're Axton's friend right?" he said, "May I sit down?"I looked at him sharply, "I'm his girlfriend, just sit down" I said curtly.Fredgie smiled then pulled out a chair and sat across from me."Maybe you've seen me, I'm Axton's cousin, I happen to work here" he said.I nodded, "Don't you live in Bandung?""This is my parents' company, I only come here once a few days, to check work, I'm one of the leaders of this company, by the way what are you doing here?" he asked.Before I could answer, my brother came over."Loh, there is Mr. Fred, good afternoon sir" said my brother."Good afternoon too""Excuse me sir, do you know my sister?" my sister asked.Fredgie turned to me, “Oh this is your sister? I just know, he's my cousin's girlfriend, okay then, thank you Robert for talking, I'll e
