-: 3rd Person POV :-

Switched off ... switched off, fucking switched off!

He threw the phone away with so much rage that it collided with the wall and broke into uncountable pieces. His head was pounding and he wanted nothing but to lash himself up for his stupidities.

He gambled everything he had worked hard on for his entire life to redeem his mistake, but now even that single chance had been snatched away from him.

The baby ...

All he wanted was to see the baby, his baby. But the biggest crimes he had committed in his life were getting back to him now. And the worst one was what he did to his baby's mother. Never had he ever imagined in his wildest dreams, that the man who had the power to kill anyone in cold blood and mercilessly, would suffer one day like this.

Victoria ...

He knew what he did was wrong, and he was more than just repenting. He wanted to punish himself because not only had he raped a woman, but he had also betrayed the family. The first one was the biggest crime, the most heinous one ... but the second one would definitely cost him his life.

But what made him more angry and miserable at the same time, was the man who ghosted him, after promising to let him meet his baby.

Axel threatened him, blackmailed him and when nothing worked ... he coaxed hin to betray the Ndrangheta by using his baby.

He wanted to cuddle his baby in his arms, and convince Victoria to forgive him. He was ready to beg on his knees. But he knew, that even if the world stopped spinning someday, he himself won't ever be able to forgive himself. Cause he was the biggest sinner.

-: SARAH :-

It was dark, all around. My numb body was lying on a cold hard surface as my head throbbed with unbearable pain, my limbs were all mushy.

"Will she survive?" A small whisper rang around me as I tried to open my eyes.

"Definitely. She is a strong bitch. Or else if it had been someone else, they would have already given up. And look at this one, still breathing and her heart still beating, though the pulses are low." This voice was cold and malicious as I shuddered. Even in this state of semi consciousness my body crawled and my stomach hollowed.

"Well, Boss has other plans for her. I hope she does survive, cause this will surely break her down and kill her," they snickered and a sound of clap echoed in the room along with their sick laughters.

Where was I? Was I alive? But the coffin ...

"Well, boss is really whimsical. One minute he ordered us to cremate her alive, next minute we got the call to pull her up back."

"That's because the last punishment will affect her in a far worse way than death!"

The two men conversed around me in their sick voice revealing their morbid intentions.

How was I still alive even after being caged in a coffin. More importantly, why was I still alive?

Every hope of living had left me, slowly slowly. Benjamin was right, I wasn't strong enough to withstand his tortures even if he had rarely made a cut on my body. And he was surely winning in this game of his.

I tried a lot from the very first day, resisting, protesting, fighting against all odds. But I wasn't strong enough to go through anything else.

My only fault was I was carrying Chase's baby, the heir of his, the future leader of Ndrangheta. But now all I wanted was some peace. I wanted to crawl in my bed in my house as papa would tuck me in and leave with a kiss on my forehead.

A kiss of goodbye. And then, I never want to wake up again

It didn't take Benjamin to spill even a single drop of my blood to break me, and I wasn't sure how long will I be able to bear all this. But this will soon come to an end.

I could see my life ending here, in his captivity along with my son. May be, me and Chase weren't meant to be together in this life anymore. The time we spent together will always be in my heart and I will cherish it till my last breath. I hope we meet again in our next life.

I tried to move my limbs, tried to open my eyes, but the pounding in my head intensified pulling me back into another murky abyss.

Maybe it was time for me to say goodbye to the world.

-: CHASE :-

I gazed at my mobile as the small words glared back at me in the silence of the night.

May your love and baby rest in peace.

My palms shook, and I felt numb. My body turned cold with dread. For the first time in life, The Chase Morgan was afraid. Afraid that all the hopes were lost, scared that he would never meet his love and his son ever again. Terrified that this would be the end of him too.

A life without Sarah is as bad as living underwater. Every second, ever minute will choke me down and I will die everyday.

"What is it Boss?" Ares voice rang from behind me as I released a shallow breath. A broken man, that was what I had become.

A stood my ground immobile with the mobile still clutched in my hands. Ares pried it off and let him. My body had shook with numbness.

"Fuck no! No, no, no! This could not be happening," Ares roared out and threw my mobile on the couch.

There was no link available anymore. Nothing at all. We have captured, torture and killed more than four hundred Benjamin's men but none of them knew where he was. No one, not a single soul.

Niall was in coma due to the tortures he experienced in my hands, and Benjamin's consiglier Connar and his wife were dead. I had nowhere to turn.

But ... I would not give up. I just can't give up on Sarah and our baby. I can't let the history repeat itself, I refuse to accept defeat.

"Boss! We have to do something! She is here in this situation because or us. She never wanted to be a part of our blood thirsty world, but now she had  become one. And we can't just let that mother fucking Benjamin destroy her. Come'on boss get up! Are you even listening!?" Ares bellowed, grabbing my shoulders and shook my body.

My blood boiled at his word, the anger not directed at Ares but at Benjamin and the destiny. Why couldn't it let me leave peacefully? My life was already blood of bloodshed, drugs, guns and  gangwars. But as soon as Sarah entered into my life like an angel, everything changed.

I shoved him away and roared out, "Do you think I don't know that Ares! But where are we supposed to turn now!? Do you have any idea? Tell me! Fucking tell me you moron!"

Even if we have captured and destroyed almost each and every property, business and real estates owned by Benjamin we still couldn't figure out where he was. Where my Sarah was.

But when destiny closes one door, its opens the other.

And just like that, when all of us were in the verge of giving up, my cell phone rang, bellowing in the silent gloomy room. None of us reacted except Ares in whose clutch the phone was lying.

His eyes widened and his head whirled at me ... shock morphing his features.

"What?" I grunted.

"It's Draven," he whispered.

-: 3rd Person POV :-

His eyes were fixed at the broken girl, as she lied on the cold concrete floor. Benjamin was inexplicably satisfied that his master plans worked. Even without as much as making her loose a single drop of blood, he had succeeded in breaking that small little girl. And if the final stroke worked, he would be victorious in this ever going battle.

He sat on his throne, a glass of expensive Irish whiskey in his hand as his eyes glided towards the portrait of his one true love, Aurora.

His olive green eyes turned soft, gentle and a small smile grazed his face. Even if she was dead, the reason of her dying was he himself ... he still loved her till this day. Aurora Rechki, that was her name when she was introduced to him for the first time. Sitting in a full sleeved dress, the fifteen year old girl had looked at him from under her lashes. Her cheeks had turned pink under his scrutiny within seconds, and it amused Benjamin till this day.

He pulled the portrait of Aurora in front of him and gazed at it for a prolong time, his fingers gliding over her cheeks. If his black heart was capable of any love, it had always been reserved for Aurora. The twenty year old boy had instantly felt something when he had looked at the fifteen year old girl whom he was destined to marry. Over time that something turned into undeniable attraction and love from both the sides.

Benjamin started to behave gently around Aurora though he was still a ferocious savage for his enemies and the mafia world. He started calling her Ruri. He never wanted to hurt her or do anything which will ultimately end in her getting scared of Benjamin. Their mutual attraction turned into love over years as they continued seeing each other, even though under the strict surveillance of her parents.

But along with the growing feelings for Aurora, Benjamin wanted achieve one more thing. His own land, which had been under Ndrangheta's rule for more than decades. He wanted to become the ultimate leader, the Don of his own kingdom rather than just an Underboss ...  and that's where it cost him everything.

He succeeded to entangle Ireland from Ndrangheta with the help of his father, Cathal Kavanagh, but ended up loosing his one true love. The day they were supposed to get married ended up as the day of bloodwar between the Ndrangheta and Ireland. In front of his own eyes he saw how his Ruri said yes to the priest when asked whether she wanted to marry Andrew Morgan or not.

He was forced to watch as the soliders of Ndrangheta beat him to a pulp and chained him in a room from where the altar was clearly visible. He was gagged and tied with chains as he saw his love getting married to the man he despised. Andrew Morgan didn't hesitate to give him a smirk that day, when he stole away his love.

But he wasn't a fool, he had also seen Aurora's haunted look and puffy eyes, her blank face. She never wanted to marry Andrew and that was quite visible in her eyes.

When he was thrown away on the sea shore of Ireland by the soliders of Ndrangheta, bruised and battered ... his side face burnt due to the torture that Andrew Morgan inflicted on him,  he decided that day to return soon in much stronger form. He promised himself that he would take his Ruri away one day.

But that day came too late and when he saw his Ruri again, 22 months later, when she was heavily pregnant ... ready to give birth to Morgan's heir anytime. Benjamin didn't see reason and logic as he turned into a raging bull ... and charged at Andrew to kill him.

But Aurora didn't let him, as she stood between both of them, her hands pushing both of their's chest as their guns were aimed at each other. Aurora didn't want anyone of them to die that day. She love Benjamin even at that time, but somewhere her love for Andrew had grown stronger within those 22 months. Much stronger than the love she had for Benjamin for 4 years.

Go away ben, we can't be together anymore ... you are too late. Aurora's words broke him beyond repair that day.

That's what it took for Benjamin's heart to shatter. That's what it took for Benjamin's love to turn into hatred. That's what it took when Benjamin decided that he would never let them live in peace. He was more than just in love with his Ruri, he was obsessed with her. He knew she was his soulmate.

And the day he killed her with his own bare hands was the day he cried bitter tears. He cried as he saw his love taking the last breath of her life, but was happy that she had managed to separated her from Andrew.

Taking a small case out of his pocket he opened the lid and glided his fingers over the stands of his Ruri's hair. The last token he had of his love.

Benjamin had loved Aurora fervently and fiercely, with so much passion that even after her death ... he still couldn't erase her away from his heart.

A broken moan of pain broke his trance as his eyes snapped towards the girl was lying on the floor. He kept away the case in his pocket and didn't bother to wear his mask that covered the burnt marks on his face. He was ready to end this once and for all.

His still remembered his last promise to Aurora. To never kill her son, but he didn't promise to never break him.

Sarah's eyes fluttered open in the dark room but she was numb. Too numb to react to any situation, all she wanted was to die. She had faced so much by this time that nothing could affect her anymore.

"Finally awake?" Benjamin snickered as he kept his left ankle over his right knee and sat back on his throne.

Sarah didn't look at him cause she knew he had something up his sleeve. She still remembered the words of those two men that she had heard in her semiconsciouness. Benjamin would play his trump car but Sarah was prepared for everything now. Nothing could affect her anymore.

When Benjamin didn't get any reply, he smirked. His plans had worked and now Sarah was just a hollow shell. He had sucked out every iota of her existence out of her.

"Well, if you are already awake, it's time for your final test."

Sarah still didn't show any reaction.

"Draven!" As soon as Benjamin roared out Draven's name, he strode inside the cell. His face dark as his clothes, a gun tucked in his hand.

With a sickening grin Benjamin took the empty loaded silver gun in his hand, and grazed it's barrel with his thumb. He had planned the perfect way to break Sarah's sanity.

Mock execution.

Benjmain knew very well how much Sarah was scared of gun. She basically had hoplophobia and he knew very well from where that came from too. He himself was the reason of it.

Signaling Draven to go away Benjamin stood up from his throne and made his towards the crippled figure of Sarah. Dark bags covered her eyes, her skin sickly pale and several bruises on her face and body ... her fingernails were dry with blood.

Sitting on his haunches he eyed the girl, his ultimate ticket to break Chase Morgan, the daughter of Robert Wilson.

Sarah haunted eyes were fixed at a wall in front of her. She was sick of everything that she wasn't even shocked at the sight of Benjamin's face for the first time. Nothing mattered to her anymore  not even her own life. If possible, she wanted to die a quick death rather than to suffer anymore.

Benjamin grasped Sarah's hand and she gasped out at the sudden touch. Shrieking out, she snatched her hands away and crawled back tucking her chin behind her knees, her body shaking.

Benjamin howled out a twisted and dark chuckle. He got the exact reaction he was looking for.

"Now, you don't have to be shy Sarsh Wilson. It's not like I am touching you for the first time." Sarah whimpered, fat tears rolling down her cheeks. She thought she wouldn't react anymore, but unfortunately her body wasn't supporting. She loathed Benjamin with every fiber in her body.

Pushing himself on his feet Benjamin sauntered towards Sarah and pulled her up by her shoulders. She yelped and thrashed in his hold but became still at one single slap from him.

"Behave! I don't have time to play with you." Benjamin roared out and yanked the gun out of his coat.

Sarah's bloodshot eyes widened as soon as she saw the metallic object. Cold sweat broke on her forehead and her limbs started trembling. Horrific memories rushed back into her head and she stumbled at its force.

"Take it." Benjamin commanded but Sarah didn't complied. She shook his head, and shut her eyes in fear. As if all that was happening was a  horrible nightmare and soon she would wake up.

"Take it right now or I won't hesitate to shoot your belly!" As soon Benjamin's words registered in her head, her eyes snapped open.

"No!" she blared, covering her belly with her hands. Benjamin's lips turned into a sadistic smirk at her reaction.

"Then, take the gun," he gritted, his olive green eyes turning darker with each second with excitement. His plan was working and he couldn't wait to see her ultimate doom.

With shaky fingers Sarah took the gun in her hands. But before the idea of shotting Benjamin could come to her head, two men appeared beside him and pointed their guns at her stomach.

Sarah trembled in fear, not for herself but for her baby. She wanted to die and be in peace but not at the cost of her baby.

"Now Sarah, just before you plan on doing something funny with that gun, let me tell you something. This gun contain only one single bullet and you won't be able to kill all three of us with a single bullet, now is it?" Benjamin mocked as he pointed at the gun in Sarah's hand.

He wanted to play with Sarah and snap her mental balance. A mock execution could lead to fatal outcomes, not one being physically injured but turning into a maniac. The gun was definitely empy but Sarah believe what Benjamin told her.

Biting her lip to stifle a cry she couldn't bring herself to look at the object she was petrified of. The gun trembled in her hand and her legs were shaking. Any minute and she could faint.

"Shoot yourself."

As soon as she heard Benjamin's words, everything froze for her.  Her stomach churned violently  and the tip of her fingers turned cold.  A painful lump formed in her throat. Her head whipped up towards him and for the first time in her life she stared back at the icy olive green eyes, which had haunted her life since she was 3 years old.

"What?" she whispered, unable to decipher anything else.

"Shoot yourself in the head or else I will shoot your baby," Benjamin threatened pointing his gun at her stomach. Sarah's lip parted, but she wasn't surprised to the core. She knew Benjamin had planned something worse for that day.

Shaking her head she aimed her gun back at Benjamin, though it trembled in her grasp. Both the men beside Benjamin pointed their gun at Sarah, but she didn't drop her glare.

"What difference does it make!? The moment I will shoot myself, my baby will die! Better finish you pathetic excuse of a human rather getting died at my own hands!" Sarah bellowed, every pain, anger, frustration, torment and rage bursting out of her pores. Her eyes turned bloodshot as she gritted her teeth.

Benjamin smirked and the ugly burnt mark on her face looked more deadly. A scar of his battles.

"I am very true to my promises Sarah Wilson, and right now I am promising you ... the moment you shoot your head I will call my doctor and cut the baby out of you."

"No! You won't! You are a bastard and I know you will kill my baby too!" Sarah roared out, the gun trembling in her hands as she pointed it firmly at Benjamin. Her abdomen was paining severely, and so were her soles. Her body was weak and it was unable to bear with the adrenaline rush.

"You know how true I am to my word, don't you? I am sure Chase has told you about it."

As soon as Sarah heard Chase's name, her mind blanked. She recollected the day when Chase told her the story of how Benjamin killed Aurora but kept his ultimate promise.

To never kill Chase.

Benjamin saw the change in Sarah's expression and knew his plan was working. Sarah won't die but she will be broken beyond repair after this day.

"So, at this moment I, Benjamin Kavanagh is promising you to never hurt or kill your baby. It will be safe and sound, but only if you shoot yourself in the head right now."

Sarah's mind broke into a conflict. She wanted to live her days happily with her love along with her baby, she wanted to get married and live happily ever after in the mansion, she wanted to get Lexi and her papa married, and last but not the least she wanted to finish the master piece of their life along with Chase.  But not at the cost of her baby.

Her maternal instincts kicked in. History was repeating itself as a mother was getting ready to lay down her life for her baby. She made the final decision.

Taking a deep breath, she pulled the gun which was aimed at Benjamin down, and circled her other hand around her belly. Raising her head she looked at the ceiling as if sending her last prayers.

"I am sorry papa,  I am leaving without saying a proper goodbye to you. I am sorry Chase, I couldn't finish the masterpiece of our life I promised with you .... " she wheezed on her breath, and bitter tears rolled down her cheeks.

"But lastly, I am sorry to you my baby... Mama couldn't see you and embrace you. But I love you more than anything ... " she sobbed and broke down. Every sign of flight had left her body and she prepared herself for the extreme sacrifice. Her ultimate doom.

Benjamin watched the whole scene with extreme delight as everything was coming to an end. The war would finally be over and Chase Morgan will be doomed.

"Enough of your drama now, shoot Sarah."

Sarah opened her eyes and looked back straight at Benjamin for the first time in her life without cowering back. Her crystal blue eyes glared at his olive green orbs as she cursed the felon.

"Go to hell, you monster."

Muttering the words she aimed the gun at her temple and shut her eyes. Taking a broken shallow breath in, she pulled the trigger.

A bang resonated in the room and everything else turned deadly silent.

Hello lovelies 😅😅

I know you guys are extremely mad at me that I vanished for an entire month, but I swear. This chapter was the hardest for me to write. Sarah's pains, Chase's anguish everything else was pushing me down .... and that's what it took so much time. 😭😓

Now back to the story,

Any idea who is the one taking in 3rd person POV?

Why did Draven called?

Did you like the part where I exposed Benjamin and Aurora's short lived love story?

And finally, the gun was empty ... right? Any idea what went wrong there?
