Mafia's bride

Chapter 2

Jude, he simply stood there watching Vincent for a while. He did not say a word to him because there was nothing to be said at all, this man was trash, and disgusting. And he didn’t want to have a conversation with him, but rather something else. He was done by Vincent, because he did everything he could to torture a family who had nothing to do with him and who were oblivious to it all. But at this moment, Jude realized that Vincent couldn’t touch them, he could not torture the rest of them anymore. Jude quickly understood that he had to get them out of there and quickly, one way or another.

However, slowly Jude then looked down, glancing at Mila, meeting her eyes as she was looking only at him and nowhere else. And there he was seeing her desperation in her eyes and it killed Jude to see her like this, and a woman he respected all his life.

Nobody deserved to ever feel and see what she had seen. And for a woman who had lost everything.

However, slowly then Jude glanced back at his son as well. There he saw that there was nothing left for him right now, not here at least. And so, without any sort of warning or anything, Jude took his first step and started moving towards the child and Mila.

How ever, seeing the Mafia Lord get closer to all of them and to where they were standing, immediately Vincent and a few of his men backed away. And right then there was a slight fear on Vincent’s face that he couldn’t hide on bit.

It was something Vincent could not get away from, he very well knew that Jude was at dangerous man and that fact was very evidence to him. He had also provided the world with this, all too much, and the coward that Vincent was as a man, he had to do this never the less. However, his men though, they had different orders and they started to get a little closer to Jude, but did not entirely because that was not an order they got. Although every single person there knew the man that was right in front of them very well too. And just attacking him wouldn’t be the brightest idea.

How ever, never the less, Jude did not seem to be phased by it and, without any fear or so, he simply walked towards where Mila and Marco were. She too, saw him getting closer and was not able to hold her tears in. She glanced only at Jude just realizing that this was all done, and they could both finally get out of this hell hole they were trapped in.

Mila now saw a sense of hope there, and that was enough for her. She had been dreading it for hours and hours, and now they were all free.

Jude got closer to where she was and he stood there right in front of Mila as he glanced down at her and right as their eyes met up close, Jude’s eyes went soft almost immediately as he saw the woman who was beaten so badly, she looked too weak to be even sitting straight. But she was doing this for her son.

He looked all around her, and there he saw her bleeding from her back as well and her blood had stayed there and was only making her dress hard. He could only smell blood everywhere, and all over her back. And also there was a strange scent on her body. This was all too distressing for him, he was so upset at the fact that, because of him and his work, something like this happened to Mila and her family.

Gradually, Jude then placed his hand on her head, on her rough hair and this made Mila shut her from her eyes tight. This was then she realized that everything was coming to be fine for them, they would get out of here and were now saved. And this was his way of Jude reassuring her and calming her down.

Quickly then, Jude went down and was trying to open the rope that was around her arms, and without much struggle he did so and there Jude saw her pink and blue hands as he pulled out the rope from her hand, and with a little pressure. He saw now how there were large and many large marks on her because of how tight she was strapped there. Although he did the same thing to the other hand and freed her finally, as he then went to her legs, releasing her from there.

However, Vincent, on the other hand, was seeing all this and everything happening with his own eyes. He was in fact happy that all this was going on here. The old man liked to see a quick rescue mission, it was always entertaining to watch.

Never the less, Mila was completely free now, after hours of being there against their will. Jude then went to her son this time as Mila sat there staring at her hands, and she started pressing on them, feeling something because they felt so numb for so long.

However, this made Vincent smirk as he looked at her up and down.

“Mila……..”He called out to her as she felt a shiver run down her body, and she hated the fact that he called out her name, it made her sick. However, slowly, then she looked up and was still scared to meet his eyes, but she still did, her body made her do this.

And this time Jude was alert as well.

“How does it feel to be free for once and nobody holding you down?” He asked her, smirking brighter than ever at her and this time Jude’s eyes went dark, he only saw red this time as the man looked up from her son Marco and his stare was blank. Jude was staring at the ground as he suddenly stopped what he was doing.

And as this happened, some how Jude’s action or lack of action terrified Vincent terribly as well. And immediately Vincent stops talking and simply started coughing a little, backing away once again.

However, Jude got to work and started releasing the boy from his ropes a well. Although, while all of this was happening, it seemed like that kid was unphased by all of this. He did not move a muscle, say a word or anything as he simply sat there, his face pale and the child was staring at the ground, simply doing only that.

Never the less, Jude freed him and Marco was still sitting there, so numb.

“Marco .” Jude called out to the child and this was the first time somebody called out his name. However, Jude saw a movement right then in the child's eyes, it seemed like he had suddenly blinked and when this happened even Mila was surprised.

“Huuuh..” She let out a small gasp, realizing that he was responding to something or someone finally. And slowly Marco, softly moved for once, slowly as he looked up and his eyes shaking, Marco’s breath shaking as well as the child looked up, moving his head forward and his activities seemed a little foreign to Marco, and yet painful as well. But the moment he did so, Marco noticed Jude standing right in front of him.

And that was a very familiar face to him. He could not miss out because it was clear that Jude was here. The boy was in shock, even more shock than he was before, but he could not speak about it even if he wanted to. But there was nothing coming out of his mouth.

Jude, on the other hand, he nodded his head to him, looking at the boy softly and sympathising with him, because he very well knew that what ever this child got to see in here had put him in a place of shock and he couldn’t get away from it.

Not only was this the right place for him, Jude knew that recovering from all this was going to be hard for Marco and for him to emotionally come out of this position he was put in would be brutal as well.

“Get up.” Jude said, whispering to him, and the moment he heard that, it almost felt like everything seemed too real to Marco, now it was real to him. And the kid still said nothing, he did not react to anywhere and, simply not wasting a second there, he got up from the chair.

How ever, as he did so, his legs were shaking but he tried to get up. And his mother, on the other hand, was so proud of him that he was being so attentive. But the awful truth was that, all this trauma that this small kid had to see, must have so bad that he couldn’t control his body either.

Instantly Marco was about to drop to the ground.

“MARCO…” Her mother screamed for him. She was terrified, but before the kid could even reach the ground at all, Jude immediately caught him and held him steady and he then picked him up in his arms, holding him there, carefully, as immediately Marco rested his head on Jude’s shoulder and his eyes simply now shut tight, holding on to Jude’s collar, and never waning to let go of him.

And Jude understood what he might be going through.

“You are okay..” He was placing his hand on Marco’s head, softly casing the child’s hair, as Jude looked down at Mila as well.

“Get up.” He said to her, and even though her legs were shaking from all the beating and bruises and the torture she had to go through and Mila had to endure. Never the less, she quickly stood up, not even caring about her pain anymore. She didn’t have the time to do it. But as she stood up, she was feeling all the horrible things in her legs and now she was visible shaking.

However, instantly Jude wrapped his arm around her shoulder, holding her steady there. He was quick about her as well. Jude wasn’t going to let her down like he did before with her family.

Both son and mother were not looking at the people who had abused and tortured them and quickly they started to walk.

Although, Vincent, on the other hand, he was very proud to see this entire scene right in front of him, because this was a scene he normally did not get to see quite often, people like Jude did not exist and things like this lacked in his life.

“Please gentleman, let us make some space for all of them.” He said to his man, and that being his order. And even though his men hesitated a little bit, a few of them backed away, not coming in between Jude.

And even though Jude was not armed this time, they could never forget the fact that Jude, with or without a gun, would still always be a very dangerous man in this world. And they will never let themselves forget the history that they have all seen with Jude.

“Stop.” Mila said, she was whispering softly and stopped on her track and this confused Jude as the man looked down at her and his eyes squinting.

“What happened ?” He asked her, as he whispered as well. Mila though, she was looking down and Jude did the same thing and there he saw her face was so red and filled with tears everywhere. As Jude looked down to the ground too.

“We cannot leave him here, Jude.” She said to Jude, as there was a small hitched up in her voice that Jude could not miss out on. He grabbed on to her shoulder tightly, reassuring her.

“Don't worry, he I will get him out of here. I will not leave him here.” Jude said to her and even though Mila did believe his words, it was hard for Mila to move a muscle and for real, leave him here. Her heart wasn’t allowing her to do it.

“Come on.” He said, pulling her closer, making her walk. She could not resist that, and she did not have that same strength in her anymore. But Mila did not stop looking at her husband until the last time, hurting to leave him there.

And just like that, Jude walked past them, walking right with the family and right through those people who had held them hostage. And now he was making sure that they both were in a safer place first. And then he could take care of them later. First, his family, which was very important. His priority at that moment was only them.

And just like that, they walked towards the door that was still wide open. How Ever Vincent though, he saw all this happening right in front of him and, whatever that was, it was quite entertaining for him. The man had a smile on his face and now he also had an amazing story to tell people when all of this was over. And for the fact and honor as to how he made the lord of the Mafia, bow down to him. A great story to tell, and one he would never forget, not in this life time. And so, a story he was very proud of. He knew he would never stop bragging about this one though.

However, Jude, on the other hand, pulled Mila out of the room and right into the bright sunlight that seemed to have lacked for them. And the moment she came out of the horrid building, both Mila and Marco winched almost immediately, and a little warmth made them feel this way. And now, feeling the heat and the warmth in their skin made them both feel so alive. They were both back to reality that they did not get to live through for long now.

Jude, on the other hand, the moment he saw what was happening to them, and this time his blood rushed through his body, boiling up even. He was releasing the inhumanity that they had to see and was shown to his people, and now anger was building up with all the rage and with regret that was inside of him.

And without wasting a second there, Jude helped them out and was now walking them towards his car, slowly as he let go of Mila, and quickly opened the door for her. And as that happened, promptly Mila rushed inside of the car, sitting down and quickly she then turned around waiting for her son and to only see Jude still carrying him in his arms.

However, even though her body was in agonizing pain, and she was visibly struggling to move a certain way, never the less she still did so and raised her hand up as Jude placed the boy down right next to her. How ever, he was still refusing to leave Jude, still stunned, afraid of what might happen.

But never the less, slowly his hand moved away and Mila quickly grabbed on to her child and held him there with her dear life. None of them were crying right now at that moment, that was not happening anymore. There was too much crying already done and there would be in the future as well, but right now as her son was right next to her and she could hold him, Mila simply just wanted to feel him close to her life and wanted him to feel something as well.

“Don't worry.” Jude said to them, giving Mila a reassuring smile as his brown eyes sparkled and there was a small, and he quickly stood straight by the door.

“I will be right back.” Jude let her know as he slowly shut the door and this, him walking away frightened Mila.

“Jude.” She called out to him, making him halt right there and then, as the man glanced down and he was worried for her.

“Is something wrong?” He asked.

“I know what you are about to do, Jude.” She said to him, and now there was a frown on her face.

“Don't go back in there all alone, they are too many of them inside, and they can hurt you, and they will Jude. Please don’t.” She said clearly remembering what they had done to her and her husband.

How ever, this time all he could do was shake his head,

“I can’t let this go. What happened was because of me, and this has to end with me as well. Don’t get out and wait for me.” Jude said, being very clear to her, and now Mila knew that there was nothing more she could do or say to him, this was his final decision of his life.

And right then the man completely turned around and back to the doors and once again locked the car as he walked back without any sort of fear.

Quickly, then Jude went back inside of the building. However, at that very moment in there, Vincent was busy laughing with his man, talking. He wasn't paying any attention to what was going on around him, he simply thought that he was victorious this time, and that was it for him.

But they were all still talking about all three of them, and right then he saw Vincent then moving and, very quickly he then went to his friend and right at that moment, Vincent kicked him right in the face as his shoe collided with his eyes and nose, and that force made the body move back. And now making his eyes bleed out, too bad this time, and all because that was a very heavy set blow.

However Jude, on the other hand, this infuriated him as much as he could. He was pissed for sure, but now there was no limit to his anger, his fury at these men, but mostly Vincent.

Jude saw all this happening right in front of him.

“This guy had it coming, but his wife though…….” Vincent said and he was smiling as he talked about it. He continued as his grin started growing massively, but right then Vincent turned around and stopped. Right then, the moment he saw Jude standing right there and his presence made him stunned as he came back and this was some thing Vincent did not see that coming. And for a second there he was taken aback, Vincent also quickly backed away from there, because this time he looked a little different, and his eyes had this strange look that Vincent had seen multiple times before in him. And now he seemed like he was a hunter and they were all his pray.

Quickly, then Jude pulled his hand forward and grabbed on to the door as he shut the door behind him and that large, steal creaked loudly, alarming everyone there, and immediately it slammed, shutting as all of them turned to Jude, stunned to see him there.

However, that sound echoed through out the room, scaring the men but more over scaring Vincent.

“W…. what are you doing?” He asked Jude, but this time his voice did not come up straight or even strong enough, although, rather, it came out very shaking. What he felt, Vincent's body was showing out loud.

Jude, on the other hand, he had nothing to say to them but simply grabbed on to the other door, slamming it as well, creating an echo once again, as Jude had just trapped all of them there inside of the small building.

“Jude, you are just one man here and there are eight more men around you. What are you doing Jude?” Vincent asked him, but Vincent was still not sure about his own words.

However, even though Vincent might have looked strong now, and with his bunch of men standing close to him. Yet the man seemed very unsure as to what he was seeing. There was no confidence in him but this lack of confidence was building Jude up.

The Lord took a few steps forward, walking and walking closer towards where the men were. However, Vincent was freaking out and his face did not show it out loud, but he was definitely freaking out and started to back away entirely and a little blue now his face was. The man was all over the place.

He then looked at his men, who were slightly frustrated as to how they did not move. He stared at them in pure disbelief.

“Are you always waiting for him to do something?.. GO KILL HIM.” Vincent said, losing his mind this time, as Vincent started to scream this time and that was the order to them. And immediately one of the larger one among them instantly pulled out a gun from right behind him and before he could even pull it out and shoot Jude. Instantly Jude clenched his hands tight and rushed towards him. Right then, without even wasting a second, Jude kicked the man in the chest, breaking his ribs right then at that one rough kick.

And the man too did not see it coming. However, that blow on his chest was so tough that he lunghed back forcefully and he almost lost his breath and was now on the ground with a loud thud. And all of them were pretty sure that his ribs cracked because very clearly everyone heard that very clearly. Instantly, then two more men came to him, and without any warning started to throw punches at him from all directions, and the lord though, he did not make that such of an effort, but immediately started to block all of them and all their punches as well.

But he was not done yet, and once again, without any warning and with his immense skill that Jude possessed with himself, Jude turned while blocking a punch and slammed the man right in the nose, breaking that as well and blood was now pouring out and his screams everywhere and right with that. quickly Jude bent down and kicked the other man right in the stomach, making this man loose his footing and coulapse on the ground.

But before he could fall immediately, Jude then kicked him right in the face. That man sucked in a breath in pain and horror, and agonizing pain that he had never felt before.

Vincent, on the other hand, he was just so stunned now to see how with in just one second, Jude put three of his large men, good and skilled men, in such a painful situation as they three laid there and down on the ground mourning in pain that was strong, sharp and never ending.

And now Vincent was shaking at this moment and in his core he was afraid. He couldn’t even take another step back and away from Jude because Vincent was frightened and was, panicking, completely shocked and very angry. He felt all these emotions and all at the same time as well.

“KILL HIMMMMM……” Vincent screamed from his throat as the veins in his neck started to pop out of him, and now looking extremely painful, but nothing compared to what he was feeling in his mind and body at the moment. His fear was more of what made him suffer.

And right at that moment, as the order came from him, all of them, all three other men quickly rushed to Jude, not waiting for him to come to them. But they too started to attack Jude and Jude was doing his best, but he was the best.

How ever, Vincent from where he was standing, he could clearly see how none of them and their attacks on Jude were doing anything. Jude was putting them through all sorts of pain, and right now all Vincent could hear them in pain, screaming and even crying. And now, now this old man was scared, because now saw as his men were all on the ground, down and yet some of them got up, but Jude did not stop, he saw death in Jude’s eyes, frustration in them as well.

Not even for one second did he stop. And it was now that Vincent was realizing that if everyone were down, he would be the one next to go as well, and maybe even in the most horrid way possible.

He then very clearly understood the fact that staying here would be a very big gamble for his life, but there was no other way to this as his men were all gone now. And at this moment, though, Vincent was sweating from his body and every inch of him as well. He felt so paralyzed in his place, but at the same time, his survival instinct also came out of nowhere.

And right then Vincent quickly glanced at Jude, to see he was occupied for now. And showing no mercy to his men, and he had none now. He placed his hands on his back to find his gun, but as he did so Vincent was shocked to find out that his gun wasn’t there. And a shocked look fell on his face, and his eyes went wide.

“Where?” He muttered to himself and looked here and there and immediately then he looked back to see that his gun was on the other side of the room, right next to the chair where the man that he killed sat once. Vincent remembered how he shot him and cut his throat and threw it down and it was still there, far away from him.

“Grrrrrrrrr.” Vincent growls, realizing that he couldn't die, not like this. This couldn't be his end.

And quickly something hit him and Vincent turned around wanting to run, seeing that he still had time to do that.

And right then as he took his first step to run, something grabbed onto him and that sudden pull Vincent, making him lose his balance and he fell right there Bonn the dusty ground in a loud thud and right on his face.

“Ahh..” He let out and then quickly Vincent turned back to see the corpse lying there, and the dead man's hand was wrapped around Vincent's legs, which made him trip and fall. That was when he noticed that the body's eyes were still open because of the kick it had got earlier and now the dead body was looking straight at him, right into his eyes.

“NO, ahhhhhhhh.” Vincent screamed in horror as the dead eyes stared at him and Vincent in shock, started to back away and release his legs and in all that rush he stood up, However, right now that mad looked like he had lost all his sanity, everything really.

And right then he started running out of there as his large body was making it hard for his legs to carry him, but never the less, Vincent in terror, he was running for his life and right there he saw the gun as well. Getting closer and closer towards it, and then there was a smile on this old man's face when he knew that this would all be over.

And now Vincent truly thought that he was about to win now, as he reached for his gun, and his hands moved forward, his body slowly bent down, his eyes going wide open in pure joy, there was a smile on his face. But before he could reach it, right at that moment something came flying towards him and slammed right on his leg. And that impact was so sharp and so harsh. And the moment it hit him he could no longer stand on his feet and Vincent fell right there on the ground and painful that fall was.

He knew this was his end, he just knew.
