Chapter 83

Mafia Kings: Valentino: Chapter 83 Complete darkness.

Then I was aware of cool water sloshing over my head, which seared with pain.

There was shouting above me –

Then next to me.

Someone hoisted me out of the water, turned me over –

And I was blinded by a light as bright as the sun.

Turns out it was just somebody’s cell phone flashlight shining in my face.

A couple of hard thwacks on my back –

And I vomited water and coughed till my throat was raw.

Hands grabbed me roughly – two beneath my armpits, another two clamped around my ankles –

And carried me like a dead body up the stairs.

They set me on the ground and propped me up in a seated position...

Until a black car glided up next to us.

The back door opened, and they heaved me inside.

Isabella was there. Ludavica was right behind her. Both of them looked terrified.

“Are you alright?!” Isabella cried out. “Oh God, he’s bleeding!”

I thought, Ha – you should see yourself.

My eyes focused briefly on her blood-smeared face –

And then I blacked out again.
