Pressure Game Sebastian Novels & Stories

The room filled with tension as Sebastian’s men closed in, their weapons trained on us. “Game over,” Sebastian said, his voice dripping with finality. But the look in Thiago’s eyes told me one thing: This was far from over. Sebastian’s chilling laugh reverberated through the room, his posture exuding arrogance. Around us, his men tightened their circle, guns raised and ready. My breath quickened, but I forced myself to focus. Thiago’s eyes met mine, and despite his battered state, there was a fire in them that ignited something within me.

"The second unit’s secure, Seb. You want the lead?" Sebastian stepped into the yellow glare of the high-beams, his boots crunching through the mineral crust. His right arm was still tucked flat against his ribs, the thick canvas of his jacket bulging where his hand remained wrapped around the walnut grip of the .44 Magnum.

Help me not to fall into the wrong number. With a shaking hand, I picked one of the paper after Tala explained the game a little to the "C boys".

In the end, he had worked up the courage to hand me a brass bullet casing and promised he would protect me for the rest of his life. I hadn't taken him seriously. I never imagined he would carry it with him all these years. "Deal." I extended my hand. "I'll take the Passinis' core businesses, and you can have the Aurelis' drug routes and casinos. "Sebastian's life is mine to end. That's what he gets for scheming against my famiglia and betraying me." "No problem." Matteo took my hand. His palm was broad and warm. It put me at ease.
