My Dangerous Wife (Sequel to My Dangerous Husband)

Chapter No.13

Heaven Venezia:-

"So, are you ready to make the deal, Donna?" Carmen asked with a smirk when I entered the dungeon that reeked of dry blood. She was chained to the wall, but still, there was no fear in her eyes. Her arm was bleeding, she looked weak, and in pain, but the b***h refused to show it.

"You think you are smart?" I asked with a straight face as I ran my hands on the sharp tools placed on the table present in the dimly lit room—Giovanni's favorite toys "Do you know these are my husband's favorite toys? He loves to play with them and today, I am going to find out why after using them on you."

"Go ahead then. Play and show me what you have got?" she spoke, that smirk not leaving her face. Her words caught my attention as something popped into my mind.

"You say that a lot," I murmured, taking steps towards the sharp C-shaped blade. Which makes me wonder why you are so obsessed with knowing what I am capable of. It's not about wanting something from my mafia. You want something from me and the perks that come along with it because I am the strongest mafia leader, Don Giovanni's wife."

"You got that true. I am impressed." she spoke, nodding her head "And, if you are here, it means that you have found out that I am the only person who can provide Giovanni with the drug as there are no other dealers found for this."

"I am only going to spare your life until I find a way to save Giovanni's life, and until he recovers. Because trust me. The day he recovers will be the day of your death." I gritted my teeth and landed a punch on her face and sliced her thigh. She hissed, her bloodshot eyes glaring at me as blood flowed out down her thigh.

"Careful, Donna. Your action can cost you the life of your precious husband. You kill me, the drug is gone." she snaps.

"I am done playing with your games. Now get to the point. What do you want from me?" I growled "You came here with less security knowing they will probably die because you knew, no you were confident that you won't die because you are holding the rope to Giovanni's life. I might not know you, but I figured out that you are not a fool."

"That you got right. I am not a fool." Carmen announced proudly "And, what I want is you."

"Me?" I asked, confused "What about me?"

"I want you to finish some assignment for me." she replies "Deadly assignment. Like killing people and doing some dark and illegal work in the shadows."

"Like?" I sat on the chair as I glared at him, my leg placed on another as I leaned back against the chair to support my back.

Carmen laughed and her smile was as wicked as her gaze as she looked me over with interest.

"There’s a list of people. Notable people, I have offended. Everyone is powerful, everyone is above the law in the sphere of legalities. But you, Donna, you could reach them, annihilate them without any risk of waving a red flag." I held her gaze, unflinching as I spoke the next words confidently.

"What you are asking for is that you want me to be your personal assassin. Is that it?" I asked with my brows furrowed.

"Carmen graciously noted the slight and grinned, her enjoyment settling into the fact that I was clearly nervous.

"Not just an assassin, Donna. I require someone who could easily get involved with the most repulsive or undesirable work in the criminal world, the kind of business that would make the toughest of mafia leaders tremble. And, you Donna are capable of doing that because you hold the title of Giovanni's wife."

I maintained the best poker face I could muster, though inside me seethed the desire to vomit.

"You are referring to drug selling, arms running, and all the other activities that Giovanni was able to dismantle several years ago. Your husband shouldn't have done that in the first place. He did that because of you, and now you are going to reopen them. Your husband's actions cause my mafia to go down as we used to be the best in human trafficking, drug dealing, and weapons trafficking."

"Exactly," Carmen purred. "But I want those businesses moving again, I want those businesses operating. I require a person dangerous to get rid of all potential informants who have witnessed me and my mafia gangs selling drugs, weapons, and even human lives. Murder scenarios that I had staged myself and had other people witness. Oh, with you running the show, Donna, no one would care to challenge the functioning. No one will dare to question you, due to the authority you hold in the underworld."

"And if I refuse?" I said softly, anger welling up in me, yet suppressed.

"Then Giovanni suffers," she replied coldly. "I am aware of the family you have, the importance of respect that Giovanni has. But come on, what use is all of this if he is dead? Yet he's already showing symptoms of strength loss. But soon he'll start wanting the drug in a way you couldn’t possibly fathom. You really want that on your conscious, don’t you, Donna? Or will you work for me, to make sure that he gets all that he requires?"

The words penetrated deep into me, but I was not sensitive enough to turn around and skip away. Instead, I narrowed my eyes.

"You want me to eliminate your competitors, to control the most dangerous parts of the criminal world while you sit on your high horse because you have a hold over my husband's life. A life you ruined? You knew Giovanni wouldn't do this, so you chose to make him forget and make him weak in the hope that I will work for you?"

"Yes, that is exactly what I did." she replied arrogantly "Didn't I do good?"

"Tell me. You offered this deal to my husband too, but he refused. Didn't he?" I asked with a grin "He refused right on your face which riled you up, made you lose control and you chose the second option. To make him forget everything including me and his family? Didn't you, loser?"

"Don't call me a LOSER!" she shouted and I smirked because I knew I had hit the nerve.

"Woah! Now, I wonder why this word makes you lose control like this?" I asked, "Is there a story that I am missing? Or is it because you know that you are a loser which is why you are asking me to do your dirty work, mafia princess, and what makes you think that I am an assassin? I am just a businesswoman who runs the Venezia empire while Giovanni runs the Italian Mafia."
