CHAPTER TEN: HIS DEATH WILL BE FAST BUT NOT PAINLESS.

Book:The devil’s new plaything Published:2025-2-9

DIEGO’S POV
His death will be quick, I will tell them to make it as quick as possible, he is my brother so that is the least I can do. I watched as they tied Damian to a pole at the slaughter ground in front of the mansion. We all sat on high up stadium seat, he stood beneath us struggling, his eyes was blindfolded.
Damian struggled but of course he cannot fight off five hefty men.
I looked over at Valentina who was sitting next to me, she had her eyes behind her palm, trying to avoid the sight of Damian being killed. I felt angry starting to brew within me, does she like him? Is that why she doesn’t want to see him hurt?
“If you look away even for one second, I will slit your throat.” I said, enraged. She has her own punishment coming, I would like to watch her suffer for choosing to still stay with Damian even when she got better from the gunshot wound.
They are both traitors, traitors deserve no mercy.
After Damian was bounded to the pole, five loaded were passed by gloved men to the five appointed shooters. Let the show begin.
“Damian Fernandez you have been charged with treason against the mafia king Diego Fernandez, do you plead guilty?” The first gun man asked.
“No! I would never betray my brother!” He answered. The first gun man shot his gun and the bullet landed on one of Damian’s foot. Enough to hurt him but not enough to kill him. I said fast not painless, this is the fastest it can go because we all still have to enjoy the show.
“Ahhhh” Damian screamed in pain. I felt Valentina flinched, I looked over at her to make sure she wasn’t close her eyes, she had tears streaming down her wide opened eyes.
“Damian Fernandez you have been charged with being disloyal to the mafia king Diego Fernandez, do you plead guilty?” The second gun man asked.
“No! I have never been disloyal to my brother Diego!” Damian said with more vigor. The second gunshot from the next man went off and the bullet landed on Damian’s other foot.
Damian yelled in pain. Interesting.
The third charge was called.
“Damian Fernandez you have been charged with attempting to steal a property belonging to the mafia king Diego Fernandez, do you plead guilty?” The third gun man asked.
“I would never do that, Diego please believe me! I’m your only brother, your twin brother, your only sibling for crying out loud!” Damian yelled. He is being manipulative, I hate manipulators. I signaled for the third gun man to shoot him at a closer range so that it can be lot more painful than it should have been.
At this point Valentina was crying very intensely. Good.
The bullet landed on Damian’s left hand.
This is my father’s favorite game, he calls it ‘no way old’ because there is literally no way out. Pleading guilty or not does not save the offender from getting killed. It is a death sentence but it is much better to die after claiming that you are innocent, nobody wants the stain of treason to the mafia king on them, it hunts a person even after the grim reaper has completed his task.
“Damian Fernandez you have been charge with attempting to reclaim on of the mafia king’s whore, do you plead guilty?” The fourth gun man asked.
“No! I would never betray my brother for a cunt!” He yelled. I gestured for the fourth gun man to place the gun directly on Damian’s palm to intensify the pain.
Nobody calls my whore a cunt but me.
Damian yelled in pain. What a shameful sight to behold.
The last gun man placed the gun on the side of Damian’s head, ready to blow his brain off.
“Damian Fernandez you have been charge with planning a usurper against the mafia king Diego Fernandez by using his whore Valentina as a tool. Do you plead guilty?” The fifth gun man asked.
Damian said nothing.
“Do you plead guilty?” the fifth gun man asked again ready to pull the trigger.
“I know this is no excuse but I was not in the right frame of mind.” Damian started, the fifth gun man was ready to take the shot and end Damian’s life forever but I gestured to him to stop, I want to hear what this pathetic fool has to say.
“Ever since we were young father has always favored you Diego, he basically groomed you to be the next mafia king even though I am the older twin, I don’t blame him or mom for favoring you though, I have always been the lesser twin, the mentally deranged, bipolar abomination. I don’t blame them for always choosing you over me, I would pick you over me too. So Just this, kill me! Maybe in my next life I would be an adequate offspring to who ever would birth me.” Damian ended.
The fifth gun man looked to me to give him the go-ahead. I did not.
“Release him, he is not even worth the mercy of death.” I finally said. I would have to think of what to do to him later. I looked over at Valentina, she was crying and shaking profusely like she was dumped in the Artic ocean. That is pathetic but that thought gives me an idea for her punishment.
“Take her to the blue room. Her punishment will begin momentarily.” I ordered one of the guys near me.
“Let me go!” Valentina yelled. Crying, kicking and screaming. I hope she has a lot more tears left because her punishment is going to be brutal not as brutal as Damian’s but also not easy.
