You Are Not Alone [Charles Leclerc]

🌠Twenty-ninth chapter🌠

"At the curtain's call it's the last of all
When the lights fade out, all the sinners crawl
So they dug your grave and the masquerade
Will come calling out at the mess you made."

Flashback

"You did what?" I exclaimed angrily and threw a dishtowel on the kitchen units.

"Ariana, you need to understand..."

"What I need to understand? You sold me like a horse in an auction!" Pedro had a meeting with his new partner from Nice, Baptiste d'Este. It was supposed to be all about weapons, but as I found out, Pedro sold me to another mafia family. Like I'm a thing, not a real human being, "you said it's about guns, nothing more..."

"That was the plan! But then he offered a double amount of weapons for you...he promised that he is gonna take good care of you...I would never give you to him if I wasn't sure he won't treat you right. Ariana, look at me," he slowly took my chin between his fingers, the thing he is usually doing when he wants to talk into someone's soul, "you'll get away from here and you can start again. You have always wanted that, right?"
