𝘿𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙨𝙬𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙚.
Your wrists were bound tight behind a cold, unforgiving chair. The only sound when your own ragged breathing; each inhale sharp with panic, echoing in the empty space around you.
𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪? No windows. No lights.
Just suffocating blackness and the terrifying unknown.
Your last clear memory, when you were walking to your car after a grueling workday, And then, nothing. A void where time had been ripped away.
Your voice ricocheted off the walls, loud, desperate. “𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗟𝗢!” A cry for help. A demand for answers. But no one responded. Just silence swallowing your scream whole.
You thrashed. Twisted your wrists against the ropes binding them behind you, but they didn’t budge. Tied too well; professional knots, unyielding.
And worse, the padlock on the chair was thick, industrial grade. No wiggling free.
Even your legs were secured to the chair’s frame with additional restraints, trapped completely.
“𝘈𝘮 𝘐 𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘺𝘦𝘵?” The blindfold kept you in darkness. disoriented, helpless.
𝘼 𝙑𝙊𝙄𝘾𝙀. Familiar. But you couldn’t place it.
You strained to focus, heart hammering.
Then movement. Before you could finish your threat “𝗟𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲-“ strong hands grabbed the back of your chair and shoved hard.
The world tilted. Wood screeched against floor. Your body and the chair; crashed down, landing with a painful thud on the cold ground.
Pain shot through your skull as it hit concrete. Dizzy. Breath knocked out of you.
Groaning filled the silence.
The voice loomed closer; low, deliberate, dripping with condescension.
“You can’t fight me. I warned you not to challenge someone like me.” A statement. Not a threat; a fact. Cold and absolute.
“Didn’t you listen?”
𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦.
And now, you were at his mercy; pushed around like discarded trash. Helpless on the floor, still reeling from the impact of being thrown down so carelessly.
But through the pain; through the disorientation. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲. 𝗜𝘁 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱; 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀.
The name escaped your lips in a pained groan, “Lorenzo..”
Memories flooded back,
sharp and damning.
𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑹𝒖𝒔𝒔𝒐 𝑮𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒑. 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘀.
How you’d deliberately targeted Lorenzo and his brother, plotting to destroy their reputations, their empires.
You’d been 𝙧𝙪𝙩𝙝𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨. Confident that they wouldn’t trace it back to you fast enough.
Now, you were tied up. 𝒂𝒕 𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒎𝒆𝒓𝒄𝒚; and the realization hit like ice, they weren’t just quick; They were faster than expected.
Lorenzo’s chuckle was low, almost amused, like this was all part of some grand game.
You felt rough hands grab you, hoisting the chair, and your battered body, back upright. The blindfold peeled away slowly; revealing blurred shapes at first.
Pain throbbed behind your eyes. Your vision swam from both injury and disorientation. Everything looked hazy but 𝑳𝑶𝑹𝑬𝑵𝒁𝑶, he came into focus soon enough.
Standing over you, watching with calm dominance as his men stepped back.
The 𝐠𝐮𝐧 gleamed under the dim light, cold, lethal. Lorenzo stepped closer.
Each footfall deliberate and with every inch he closed between you, your breath hitched. You knew exactly what the Russos were capable of beneath their polished charm.
Desperation clawed at your throat as you blurted “You can’t do this! I’ll tell everyone who you really are!” A hollow threat but Lorenzo didn’t react with anger.
He leaned in, slowly pressing the barrel of the gun flat against your chest, then trailing it downward toward your stomach.
Lorenzo’s voice was terrifyingly calm; each word a scalpel. “Once I pull this trigger, do you think you’ll still be able to talk?” A rhetorical question. 𝗔 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗲𝘁 𝗳𝘂𝗿𝘆.
He listed your crimes;
𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗹𝘀.
𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗶𝗺.
Ruining his company's reputation with calculated leaks. All traceable back to you. And he knew it. Dante could’ve retaliated brutally; but Lorenzo had promised restraint, to handle it ‘better.’ So instead of immediate violence, he played the long game.
And now, the game was 𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴.
Lorenzo’s chuckle faded into something darker. “After what you did, do you think the Russos let losses slide? 𝘋𝘰 𝘸𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘰𝘭𝘴?”
𝗡𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴. Just his fist plowing into your stomach with full force.
Air exploded from your lungs. You gasped, doubling over as much as the ropes allowed, choking, wheezing in agony. Every muscle locked up. Pain radiated through your abdomen.
He didn’t hold back. This wasn’t just retaliation, 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐩𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭.
Lorenzo circled you like a predator, gun twirling idly in his hand. His chuckle was light, almost conversational, but the threat underneath; Palpable.
He knew exactly what he was doing.
Every move calculated. Every word deliberate.
“It’s simple,” he said, stopping in front of you again. “you want to leave this room alive.” You were still catching your breath, stomach aching from the punch, but defiance flared up anyway.
Through gritted teeth; “I’m not doing anything for you.” Stubbornness. Pain fueled pride. And Lorenzo just smiled wider at that resistance.
“Alright then.” The gun didn’t waver. Pointed right at your head. The smirk faded. Lorenzo’s finger hovered over the trigger; calm, methodical. 𝗡𝗼 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝗿.
You challenged him “You won’t do it.” But 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧’𝐭 𝐚 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬, 𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐬.
𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗸. 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗸. The sound of the trigger being slowly pulled back echoed in your skull. His eyes locked onto yours, dark, unreadable, and you realized with terror, he was really about to shoot.
Panic shattered your defiance. Your breath hitched “𝘞𝘈𝘐𝘛! 𝘗𝘓𝘌𝘈𝘚𝘌! 𝘍-𝘍𝘐𝘕𝘌!” Voice breaking. Pride gone.
Lorenzo’s smirk returned; 𝒘𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒓, 𝒄𝒓𝒖𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒓,
as he glanced at his men. “What changed your mind?” he mused, voice dripping with mock curiosity.
“I would’ve loved to see your 𝒃𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒅 painting these walls.” A casual remark, like discussing the weather.
His crew chuckled darkly in agreement.
Then Lorenzo snapped his fingers; a silent command.
One of the men stepped forward with a camera. Another adjusted lighting subtly. They wanted you presentable for this; whatever this was going to be.
Lorenzo leaned close, whispering scripted words into your ear “𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗲.”
And you obeyed.
Every syllable.
The camera rolled, cold, unblinking.
𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙠𝙚 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙛𝙪𝙡𝙡𝙮. 𝘾𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙡𝙮. 𝙀𝙖𝙘𝙝 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙙 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙧𝙚, 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙖𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙙.
No defiance left
just the scripted confession.
𝗢𝗡 𝗦𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗡
“It was me who spread the false rumors.”
A pause for emphasis. Then “I spread fake scandals about Lorenzo Russo.” And finally, the apology, forced but audible.
“I’m truly sorry, Lorenzo.” The moment you finished, the red recording light cut off.
𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲. Then Lorenzo nodded once at his men; a signal that it was done. The footage would explode across New York within hours.
“Good job,” he said casually, as if praising a well-trained dog. The men swiftly packed up the camera gear, already uploading the confession to every major platform in New York.

Before Lorenzo could even move. 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘄, one of his most loyal enforcers, stepped forward with a pistol still smoking. “Thank you for doing it for me,” Lorenzo said smoothly. “Now clean that up. You know what to do next,”
Your body slumped lifelessly against the chair, unconscious before pain could even register.
