“No! She hurt him, Razor. She tried to take him away from me." I never remove my gaze from her as I tighten my grip around her neck. Her eyes widen with fear and pain.
"This isn't you, honey," Razor whispers in my ear, placing his hand on my forearm. "Demon wouldn't want you to do this. Let Uncle and I handle her. Let her go."
I shake my head for the moment refusing to release her.She tried to take him away from me...from us.
"No Razor, she tried to kill him, and now I'm going to kill her." I put a little more pressure around her neck as she struggles more against her restraints.
"Kira!"
Sighing, I look over at him but maintain my grip and pressure around her throat. "Will you make sure she pays for what she did to him?" I ask, keeping my grip around her neck.
"Of course. Your crazy ass uncle has already made plans." I laugh along with Razor as my uncle chuckles.
I lower my head and huffed. Natalia gasps for air when I drop my hand. I grip her by the chin, raise her head, and lean over and whisper in her ear. "While Austin and I are happy and raising this child that I'm carrying, you will be rotting in your grave. You deserve everything that is going to happen to you, and I hope God will have mercy on your soul."
I harshly remove my hand from her chin and take a step back. I smile at her as she looks me in the eye.
"Don't think with my death this is over," she whispers. "You all will die, starting with you."
"Well, let the motherfuckers come!" I scream. The threat means nothing to me right now. I want my Austin back and whoever did this to pay.
I turn around and walk over to my uncle. He places a kiss on both my cheeks and embraces me. "Mpwa you truly have the temper of a Sefu, but the grace of your mother. Go to my nephew and let me finish this. I’ll text you when I'm done."
I nod my head and walk back to Natalia with my uncle by my side. “Natalia, this is my uncle, Abasi Sefu." I smile as her eyes widen in fear. "I guess you’ve heard of him. Well, he has some business he needs to finish concerning you."
"So, you’re the one who has put my nephew in the hospital." Abasi points his machete at Natalia. Her body physically trembles in fear. I turn towards Razor and Natalia calls out to me.
"Please...please, you can't leave me here with him." Tears from her eyes mix with the blood from her nose, staining her once flawless pale skin.
"No need to beg. You’re right where you need to be. You will pay for what you did to Austin."
My uncle then runs his sharpened machete down the side of her face. As she begins to scream, I take a step back beside Razor and my uncle takes over the interrogation.
"You did good, Kira. Austin would be proud," Razor says, and I nod my head.
Abasi Sefu
Tilting my head to the side, I stand there looking at the youngest of Andrei Koshenko's children, Natalia Koshenko as blood now stains her whole body.
I remember attending her christening right after she was born, but now I must take her life just as I did with the rest of her family some weeks ago.
I knew her father from my earlier days when I was up and coming, and my brother, Kira's father, fled to America. Andrei and I grew up in the crime world together and considered each other friends, but for me, family always comes first, and my friend of thirty years tried to harm my only mpwa.
Some say I'm crazy and that may be the case. Bloodlust and power is something that I crave. I search for. But when it comes to family and protecting them, nothing is out of bounds. So, when my mpwa called for help, I knew she was in real danger.
Years ago, when my brother fled to America and changed his name, we rarely had contact with one another. Regardless of our separation, he always knew if my family needed anything, I would drop everything. He made sure my mpwa knew that.
The Koshenkos all died by my hands except for Andrei's youngest, his daughter Natalia. But when I have a job to do, I leave no one alive, and that includes women and children because they are the ones who will seek revenge for the death of their loved ones. And as it so happens, she has something to do with my nephew being in the state he is in. Today, she will die.
"You know, I remember attending one of your recitals when you were younger." I chuckle and place the small knife next to her face. "Andrei would always say, Abasi, old friend, my daughter has the voice of an angel. It's going to keep her from this business. I guess you were not lucky enough to escape."
"Please...please no more," she begs as blood seeps from her body. I pull the tip of the knife down her face. Her she screams fill the room.
"Tell me what I want to know, and all your pain will stop. Did you try to kill my nephew?" I pull the knife down the same cut I just made on the side of her face as she continues to scream in pain. "It's time to start answering my questions, young Koshenko."
With no answer to my question, I take a step back from her and shake my head.
"You are just as stubborn as Andrei, but your stubbornness will only increase your pain, child."
