Chapter 2- Devil’s Entourage

Victor Cavallo

 

Somewhere in one of the high-rise buildings in Manhattan, a man with godly looks walks into a building with his dominating aura. He is tall, around 6'4 with beautiful skin and Cerulean blue eyes, his dark hair so perfect, would make anyone want to run their fingers through it, his chiseled jawline so sharp like a santoku knife that could make anyone want to run their fingers down it, body so perfect and muscular could put Adonis to shame, voice so thick, silky, and deep like Brazilian chocolate.

As beautiful as his looks are, his mind is an absolute mess, and twisted. He is an absolute psychopath, who loves to torture his enemies, he could give Hades a run for his money, he has no remorse, no pain, and no fear of God, he loves to kill and that is the only thing that satiates his hunger apart from his fiancé. As twisted as his brain is, he is incredibly smart, he has businesses around the world, and he loves to step on people to rise in life.

He walked into the building where a man was tied to a chair bloodied and beaten up, as soon as he heard heavy footsteps, the man began to shake visibly, the tall man walked to the beaten up man "Who was it?', asked Victor, tracing the man's face with his sharp knife, "Please, I have no idea, I don't know, I am a mere manager, please let me go, sir," pleaded the man, Victor said nothing other than chuckling, he knelt to the height of a tied man, "oh really? then why were you seen talking to Marcel Blanc's men?", this made the man's breath get stuck in his throat, "I...I was...", Victor never gave chance for the man to speak, he dipped the man's fingers in a vat of Hydrochloric acid, and the man shrieked in agony as his fingertips and nails were completely corroded due to acid, "one last chance", Victor smirked looking at the man in pain, the man couldn't speak, "fine, I have all the time in the world", saying this Victor dipped the man's other hand in the acid.

"Do you have any idea what I do to betrayers Adrian?", Adrian had an idea of the stories that Victor's mafia is capable of, they skin people alive. Victor's hobby is to skin people alive with his tools and tactics, Adrian's eyes widened at the thought of being skinned alive. Victor smirked knowing his reputation precedes him, he then walked over to get his tools to begin his favorite work, Victor grabbed a pair of forceps and a huge knife, and just as he was about to begin his torture, the man caved, "Please I don't know anything, I was offered money to tell them the addresses of our warehouses", Victor smirked bringing the knife close to the man's eyes.

 "Was the money worth losing your life Adrian?", asked Victor plunging his knife deep into the man's eye socket, the man let out a terrible cry of pain, that soothed Victor’s ears, “Please! kill me please I cannot, kill me”, Adrian started begging. Victor laughed coming close to the man’s ears and said “Shush!! Not a sound from your mouth. I hate it when they cry”, he chuckled looking at his men. Victor then removed the knife from the man's stabbed eye and blood started gushing out the second the knife was pulled out. Victor traced it from his eye socket to his chest all the while he was crying in pain and stabbed the knife right through his heart, and the man’s suffering ended. Victor could see Adrian’s soul leaving his eyes and he enjoyed every second of it. He then carved his name onto Adrian's chest, he stepped back admiring his work. Victor then looked at his men, and he was immediately handed a towel to clean his hands and said “God!! he ruined my suit” wiping his hands off, he then instructed his men to send his body to Marcel. He walked out of the building as if he didn't just take a life and got ready to get to his work in his crisp bespoke suit.

As soon as he walks into his office, his assistant walks in to let him know his schedule, "good morning, sir", the assistant greets cheerfully, the man hums his response with no emotions in his voice or eyes, "we have a busy day ahead of us sir, we have to meet investors to talk about our new investments", the man kept babbling and Victor Cavallo's mind wandered somewhere, or to someone. The man is whipped by his fiancé and soon-to-be wife Maya Matthews, they loved each other a little too much and it is safe to say that Victor Cavallo's life is influenced by his mother, sister, and his beautiful fiancé.

While his thoughts were running wild, his assistant kept babbling, just as the assistant was about to speak further, Victor's phone started ringing and he immediately knew who it was., he always gave undivided attention to the women in his life. Knowing that his boss's attention is not on work right this second, his assistant took leave and left his office.

Victor's lips curved into a smile thinking about the love of his life, his fiancé, as soon as he answered his phone, his ears met with a sweet voice "hello Mr. I am always busy, where are you??" Maya asked lovingly, "hello miss soon-to-be Mrs. Cavallo, I am in the office, why??" asked Victor. "Let's go have lunch", Victor can sense her expression through the phone, after all, she is a model and an actress who is busy, and he loves to spend time with her whenever he gets a chance.

"We can go right after I am done with my work, I'll send Rick to pick you up and I'll meet you at the restaurant," Victor responded, Maya happily chirped and bid him goodbye.

Thinking of Maya always brings peace to his dark life. Though he has everything in life, calling Maya brings him the utmost satisfaction. Victor and Maya are childhood sweethearts, or that's what they like to think, both belonging to uber-rich families, both families' businessmen by day and mafia families by night, and in the shadows, Victor took over his father's businesses when he came of age and became the successful mastermind that he is today.
