Ruthless (BOOK III) COMPLETE

"Today we come to mourn the loss of a dear friend, sister, cousin, daughter, wife, mother, Queen. She wasn't your average woman. She was the light we all needed in our dark aura." I balled my fists up, drawing blood in my palms. "She died protecting her family. She will forever be remembered as our fearless Queen." I fought back the tears. Men don't cry. I looked over to my father who held my sisters close. My brothers had their fists bald up as well. My grandmother cried as we prepared to take her casket to the grave site. Dad stood and touched her casket, pressing a gentle kiss on it.

"I'm so sorry cara mia." I balled my fists up even more. "You're the reason she's GONE!" I pushed him away from her. My grandfather held me back while Uncle Adam held him back. I pushed him off of me and ran out of the building. I continued running as far as I could. I stopped, and pulled my hair.

"Dmitry my sweet boy." I turned around and there she stood. She touched my cheek. "Everything will work out. Watch over your brothers and sisters, watch over your father, he will need to let me go." I shook my head. "No. NO!"

"I love you my Dmitry." She started fading away. "No! Mom!" I reached out and tried to grab her but she was gone. I grabbed my hair in anger and screamed out.

She was gone and never coming back.
