Chapter 7

Penulis: Echo
As the Russos tried to defend themselves, the seventh video played.

It was the final video I had.

Before it even started, the Russos were shaking. Don Carlo craned his neck and bellowed, "What the hell does the Valenti family want?! If you don't want an alliance, just say it! Why break the code just to humor that piece of trash?!"

"Cassius is a rabid dog! When I find him, I'll tear him apart!"

Vivienne stared dead at Don Carlo. "Don Carlo... do you still not get it? Cassius is already dead."

    As Julian was being dragged away, he looked at Vivienne in sheer disbelief. "Why, Vivienne?! If you never believed me, why did you agree to marry me?!""What did he have that I don't?! I'm the true Russo bloodline!"Vivienne walked up and backhanded him viciously. Her eyes were bloodshot. "Shut your fucking mouth!""I knew Cassius! I knew he wouldn't just disappear, and he would never betray me!""The second I saw those photos, I knew he was in danger!"I stood completely frozen, my spirit felt hollowed out.I finally understood. She had been searching for me in secret the entire time.But The Abyss was too deeply hidden, guarded by mercenaries. With no leads, her only choice was to fake her betrayal, get close to Julian, and dig for clues.The realization crashed over me. My heart ached with agonizing warmth. I wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.Julian tried to argue, but she slapped him again. "Cassius had a chance to live, but you robbed him of every last shred of hope!""How

Cassius is already dead."The room gasped. I was shocked too.How did she know?Julian's eyes bulged in disbelief. "Dead?! Impossible! He's out of the country!"Carmela screamed, "Exactly! If he's dead, who sent this?! Stop listening to these rumors!""The videos are fake! If you don't want to marry him, fine!"Don Carlo, completely panicked, grabbed Julian and Carmela. "Forget it! If the Valentis won't respect us, the wedding is off!"But before they could reach the doors, Valenti enforcers forced them back at gunpoint.Ho

    When the video ended, some of the mob wives in the audience were crying.One of them asked with a trembling voice, "Is this how the Russos treat their own?"The chat was a blur of outrage:"So the cops did nothing because the Russos blackmailed him with a sex tape!""And this so-called Valenti Mafia Princess is just as bad! She left him to die!""Get the FBI in there right now! Dead or alive, find Cassius!"Vivienne's hand hovered over the screen. She smiled sadly and shook her head. "I will go find him. But not yet."She swiped the screen and pulled up the sixth video.Julian stared with wide, panicked eyes. "Vivienne, enough! Can't you see what he's doing? He's a psycho trying to ruin our wedding!""Enough?" Vivienne smashed the butt of her gun hard against his face, her voice terrifyingly cold. "You better start worrying about your own life."I floated in the air, shaking my head violently. What... Vivienne?I didn't understand. Wasn't she the one who didn't believe me?Before I cou

  • Seven Videos From the Grave Ruined Their Wedding   Chapter 5

    I stared at Vivienne's face—etched with hidden grief and hatred—and froze. What did she mean?The fifth video played.It was the middle of the night. I had finally escaped by clinging to the undercarriage of a delivery truck.Ignoring my bleeding wounds and bare feet, I ran for my life until I found a payphone.While in The Abyss, I had thought about calling for help, but there was zero cell service to maintain absolute secrecy.Like grabbing a lifeline, I dialed 911 from the booth.At this point in the video, Carmela shrieked, "He's lying! We never got a single call from the cops! He never went to the police!"Julian chimed in, "Exactly! If he really called the cops, how is the Russo Family still standing?!"But the crowd ignored them, holding their breath and watching the screen.Vivienne said, "Right. Why did the cry for help go nowhere?"She let the video continue.On screen, I hesitated, then gathered the courage to dial Vivienne's number.I desperately needed the comfort of the w

    The fourth video cut straight to my first day in The Abyss.I knelt in the mud, screaming, begging Don Carlo to take me home. "Godfather, please! Don't leave me here!""I'll change! I'll do whatever you want!"But Don Carlo showed zero mercy. He rolled up his window without looking back, leaving me to be dragged away by the guards.Later, they muzzled me like an animal.In utter darkness and silence, I was shoved into a freezing iron cage.Fear swallowed me whole. I curled up in the corner, shivering violently.I don't know how much time passed before blinding spotlights flooded the darkness.As my eyes adjusted, I saw masked, crazed billionaires surrounding the cage from all sides."What is this place? It's terrifying!""Looks like a gladiator arena! Who built this?""These people look insane... what are they going to do to Cassius?"The chat erupted. The audience had never witnessed anything so horrific.Watching the video again brought all that terror rushing back. Even as a weightl

    Vivienne clicked on the third video.In the frame, I was holding up the newly signed port contract, beaming at the camera. "Vivienne! I nailed it! Am I something else, or what?""I'm going to use this money to buy you that pink diamond you've been eyeing! I know you've been eyeing it for a while but were too polite to say anything. It's okay, I'm going to be rich soon. I promise, once you marry me, I'll never let you suffer. I'll give you everything you want!"In the video, my eyes were bright with joy and deep devotion.Comments flashed across the live stream:"He looked so in love with her...""Is this really the vicious, calculating Cassius everyone talks about? Am I seeing things?"Vivienne's hands trembled slightly, her gaze complex.Julian lunged forward to snatch the phone. "Vivienne! Cassius is in the past! I'm the one marrying you today! Turn it off, please!"When she didn't answer, his face darkened. "There are so many people here. You're humiliating me..."Carmela chimed in,
