  • He Said , “Go Die”   Chapter 11

    Five years later.In a maximum-security women's prison, Maeve was a broken woman.Not only was she constantly breaking the rules, but she also crossed some inmates from a rival gang over smuggled cigarettes and had her right leg snapped.The word in the underworld was that on the day of her release, not a single person from her former family showed up to collect her.She had to drag her crippled body out of the prison's iron gates, crawling on the ground.Declan died in Bolivia.Rumor had it there was a massive, brutal turf war.He had a chance to escape under the cover of his loyal men.But he seemed to have completely lost the will to live. He gave up the fight, letting the bullets tear through his chest.Word of his will got out soon after.The Don had left a strict final order, donating all of his massive, laundered fortune.He also specified the creation of a charitable foundation called "Sienna."It was dedicated to helping young girls who had lost their families to gang violence

  • He Said , “Go Die”   Chapter 10

    After surviving his near-fatal injury, the first thing Declan did upon being discharged was find me.This time, he didn't pester me about getting back together or even mention his feelings.He pushed a file containing a completely clean, legitimate fund in front of me."Sienna, I know you'll never forgive me," he said, his voice extremely hoarse."I don't dare ask for anything anymore. But you have to take this money.""This is the settlement for your father's life. It's the last compensation I can offer you."He took out a metal lighter, flicked it open with a click, and brought the flame close to the papers."If you refuse, I'll burn it to ashes right here."I stared at the thin file on the table.Fifty million dollars.It was an unimaginable fortune.Enough for me to live lavishly for several lifetimes, enough to fulfill all my dreams, enough to completely escape the dark, bottom-feeder life I had known.Should I refuse? For the sake of so-called pride? To prove I wasn't greedy?No.

    The next day, a bloody storm swept through the city's underworld.Declan unilaterally tore up the alliance.He launched a brutal, bloody purge against Maeve's family, completely taking over their territory in the West District.Maeve's family had been propped up by the marriage alliance. With that foundation gone, their entire network collapsed and they were wiped off the map.Maeve became the laughingstock of the underworld.The once-untouchable mafia princess became an outcast overnight.The word was she went to Declan's estate and knelt, begging for forgiveness, only to be dragged away by his bodyguards like a dead dog.Declan searched for me like a madman.But I was prepared. I had quit my job as a dealer that same night. I moved out of the chaotic slums and changed my contact information.I just wanted a few days of peace.But I had underestimated the reach of his network.On the evening of the third day, I saw Declan's black armored car parked downstairs from my new apartment.De

    Declan released his grip on Maeve's throat. She collapsed to the floor, coughing violently.He turned, looking at me in disbelief."Sienna, after all this, you're still talking to me about money?"His voice was hoarse and trembling, his eyes filled with hurt.I looked at him coldly."What else? Should I discuss my feelings with you, Don Declan?""Declan, do you really think there's anything left for us to talk about, besides chips on a table?""Yes! Of course, there is!" Declan scrambled up from the floor and stumbled toward me, trying to embrace me."I still love you... Sienna, I haven't forgotten you for a single fucking day in seven years!""The only reason I hated you so fiercely was because the love was driving me insane! Please, can we start over?""I have power now. All the family's wealth is yours.""What's eighty thousand dollars? I'll give you eighty million! Eight hundred million! I'll give you everything! Just give me one chance to make it right…"I took a step back, avoidi

    Back in the present, the air in the VIP lounge was heavy enough to suffocate."How could this happen... How could this happen..."Declan was on his knees amidst the wreckage, muttering to himself like a broken man.He was asking me, but the question was for himself.Looking at him, I felt a twisted sense of satisfaction.But deeper down, there was mostly just sorrow."Declan, do you have any idea how I've survived these past seven years?"I knelt down, forcing him to look at my hands.These hands were once pampered.Once, on those damp, hot nights, he had held them in his palms, kissing every inch with religious devotion.Now, they were covered in rough, yellowed calluses. The knuckles were swollen and misshapen from years of dealing cards.The backs of my hands were scarred with cigarette burns and hot irons, along with the fresh, bloody puncture from Maeve's stiletto."To pay off the ransom debt, to dodge assassins, I didn't dare sleep a single full night.""I laundered dirty money i

  • He Said , “Go Die”   Chapter 6

    The mention of my father still sent a familiar ache through my scarred heart.My thoughts were instantly dragged back to that suffocating, brutal summer night seven years ago.Back then, Declan and I were nothing but low-level grunts in the family.He was a bastard son and a vicious enforcer, who didn't even have the family name. I was the daughter of an old-school soldato.We were a pathetic sight on the streets, with nothing to our names but a desperate love for each other.We'd huddle in a damp, dark basement, where I would clean the blood from his wounds after a firefight. We'd share a single, stale slice of pizza and dream about the future.He swore he would climb to the top over a mountain of bodies, make a fortune, get my father out of the line of fire, and put the biggest blood diamond he could find on my finger.In those days, even the lingering smell of gunpowder in the air was sweet.Until that phone call tore our world apart."Sienna, your old man took the fall for the fami
