Alle Kapitel von The Mafia Assassin : Kapitel 1 – Kapitel 10

Allison's life changed with just a brush stroke.She sat in her chair surrounded by a familiar chaos of unfinished canvases and splattered paint tubes in her small studio apartment. Her new project, Sunset View, half-finished, lay on the easel. She dipped her brush into a touch of pink and orange letting the colors bleed into each other. She smiled at her nearly finished creation. Painting was her only way of escaping reality. It was like freeing herself from the hard reality of life.But even it couldn't shield her from what happened next.A loud noise from outside distracted her. She ignored it and continued painting but the noise persisted. Curiosity filled her and she found herself walking to her open window.Below her apartment lay a dark alley, a kind of place people normally avoided in the nighttime. She saw a trashcan roll from the side. She traced her eyes in that direction, and she saw two men heavily tattooed, their hands holding the arms of a man kneeling before them with

Alison stood still, her breath halting in her throat. The faint noise of footsteps near the cabin sent a chilling shiver down her spine. She clutched the sides of the sofa, her mind racing. Nicholas had vanished into the hallway, leaving her to confront whatever—or whoever—was awaiting her. The shadow moved once again, gliding past the window. Alison felt her heart beating faster as the soft sound of crunching leaves grew louder. She gulped nervously, her instincts screaming at her to remain quiet. However, the footsteps came to a halt. The abrupt quiet was more frightening than the sound. She focused her hearing, paying close attention, but the only sound she detected was her own shallow breath. The seconds dragged on like hours. There was a gentle tap at the door. Her body tensed, and she fixed her gaze on the door, yearning for it to remain closed. Whoever was outside hadn’t arrived for a pleasant visit. “Open up,” a deep voice called from the other side. It wasn't Nicholas.

It became even more terrifying to Son when the headlights behind started to beam in the mirrors; Alison felt fear gripping her as she held onto her seat so tightly.“We’re being followed.” Alison’s voice wobbled from fear. “I know,” He replied, his jaws clenched as he glanced into the rearview mirror. He pressed the gas harder and the car let out a frightened roar in response as it moved faster. The pooling of thick clouds rolling across a soft bluish light illuminated the curvy and hilly streets allowing them to take sharp turns. “Who could it be?” “Adrian’s men,” Nicholas curtly responded, “they must have tracked us somehow.” Alison’s mind raced in unison with her heartbeat. She thought they could at least be safe for a little while. She didn't expect to be in danger immediately. “What now?”Nicholas’s expression became glum. “We won't get caught.” The car behind increased its speed, the lights blinding. Alison could feel the fury radiating from Nicholas as he worked out their

Luke's words rang through Alison's ears like an echo. Her heart pounded furiously as Nicholas shoved her behind him, positioning himself as though prepared for any fight.“Who’s here?” she whispered, her voice barely audible.Nicholas ignored her question, his sharp eyes glued on Luke. “How close are they?”Luke glanced out through one of the barn’s cracked wooden slats. “Close enough to make this interesting,” he smirked, pulling a gun from the holster under his jacket.“How could he even find this situation funny?” Alison wondered.Alison struggled to breathe as she started to hear the sounds of machines getting closer to the barn. She could feel herself panicking already until Nicholas's voice brought her back to reality.“Alison,” he said sharply, staring deep into her eyes “Head into the loft. Now.”“No, I’m not leaving you.” She argued. She didn't like him at all but she was way too scared to be alone at this moment.“This isn’t a debate,” Nicholas snapped. “Head into the loft.

The car was quiet, the only sounds were tiny snores from Alison. She fell asleep immediately after she was brought in, totally exhausted by the whole new experience. Luke and Nicholas remained silent, neither of them saying anything, although it was pretty obvious they had a lot to say to each other, especially Luke.“So are you not going to tell me anything or do I have to get the information from you myself, What's up with the girl, why not give her to Adrian and make things easier for yourself, he'll let you off this once since you guys have history,” Luke said not looking at him at all.Nicholas didn't answer but Luke could feel his glare on him.“Is it because she reminds you of her?” This time, Luke turned to look at him.“Eyes on the road, man,” Nick warned, not answering his question.“That must be it, Right? That must be it,” Luke said but more to himself like a confirmation.“ Be careful man, I'm not in support through”"I didn't ask for your support” Nicholas finally answer
