Arcado POV
Glaring at him, I twisted the knife in his hands while he screamed out in pain. Dexter, Skyler and Eli were all standing beside me with their arms crossed over their chests as their expressions were stoic. No matter how much times we tried to crack this mother fucker he wouldn’t even talk instead he would annoy us to no end.
“Tell me, was it really worth it laying a hand on her innocent soul?”, I hissed at him, scratching his chest with the knife.
“Oh it was, I really enjoyed her crying for help”, He lifted bloody head up and smirked at me.
This motherfucker was really sick who needed to die this minute, but I wouldn”t give him the satisfaction of an easy death instead I would make him bleed and watch as his eyes slowly loose their color. My anger rose as he didn”t even flinch when I punched him and I scratched the torture device across his neck causing him to cry out.
“Let me have a turn”, Eli said and stood next to me.
Glancing towards him, I signaled for him to begin and he looked towards Kulah with a growl. Quickly getting into action, he got his gun out and shot him on the leg without a second thought. He thrashed around in the chair, his voice turning scratchy as he continued to scream.
I watched with a smirk on my lips as Eli continued to torture him not even giving him a minute to breathe. I knew he was getting carried away, but the look on his face told me he wanted more blood on his hands and who was I to deny that? But he knew he couldn’t kill the bastard yet.
Sighing, I sat on the leather chair and sipped my wine. My eyes flickered over to Kulah as he cried out for help. Yeah keep screaming mother fucker no one will hear you or help you. I didn’t even want to be here, I wanted to be with Griselda cuddling in bed together, but the doctor told me she needed to rest as her body was still weak.
The minute her eyes opened in that hospital bed, my heart leaped in my throat in happiness as I saw that beautiful hazel colored eyes. The fear on her face broke me to pieces when the doctor told her she was shot. She didn’t even waste time as she glanced down to her stomach and when she saw the bump, he whole posture relaxed and a sweet smile rested on her lips.
Before I met her, I was such a vile man that people hated, I heard people call me arrogant, full of himself but most of all a killer but they didn’t know the real me. I just wanted to protect the innocent from evil and my family who were the most precious thing in the world. I first thought the mafia was my family and that I had to give them all I could.
But when I first met her, she was an angel in disguise and she changed my perspective of everything. She gave me a reason to live and a reason to love. She was the first person to even break the barrier in my heart and I’ll be damned if I ever give up on her. No matter what we go through from now on, we’re going to get through every obstacle together.
“Arcado, do the honors”, My attention snapped towards Eli.
Kulah was now disgustingly naked as he shivered in the cold. Stalking up to him, I gripped the knife in my hand and scraped it against his lower stomach. He writhed in pain and tried to scoot his chair to get away. Crouching down, I spat in his face and lowered the knife towards his crotch.
“Please don’t do this”, He had the guts to plead.
“Oh now now, don’t be a cry baby”, I clicked my tongue.
“No matter how much she pleaded and begged you, you didn’t stop, instead you enjoyed it, now let me enjoy this”, I growled and cut off his dick without a second thought.
His screams shook the walls as the tears poured out of his eyes. My satisfaction rose a mile and I smirked towards my men. They were watching with a calm expression on all of their faces and some of them were chuckling as Kulah”s tears dripped down to the floor.
“Eli, finish him”, I ordered.
I really wanted to be the one to kill him, but I had to respect Eli as he was Griselda’s brother and he wanted to be the one to kill him. I watched as he held out his gun in front of Kulah”s face. His eyes widened in fear and he gulped looking anywhere but at the gun in front of him.
“This is for Griselda”, Eli hissed and a shot was heard around the room.
Shouts of happiness were heard the minute Kulah”s head snapped to the side and his lifeless eyes stared back at me. Chuckling, I made my way towards Eli and slapped his back in gratitude. He smiled, his face turning calm and his whole posture radiating happiness.
“Clean this mess up”, I commanded my men and strided out of the room.
Making my way up the stairs, I opened the door to our room and my eyebrows furrowed when I saw the empty bed. Looking around the room, my eyes landed on the bathroom door and I walked towards it. Opening the door, my eyes widened as I saw Griselda standing near the sink with a pained expression.
“I think our baby is coming”.

I just love Arcado”s cruel side lol.
Griselda POV
A jab at my back made me whimper out in pain as I stared at my reflection. My hands clutched my baby bump tightly, at only eight months I was fairly large and the doctor told me the baby might come early. Arcado still hasn’t come in to our room and the pain in my back was making it hard for me to breathe.
When I asked Arcado if he wanted to know the gender, he said he wanted it to be a surprise but he had an instinct that it was a girl. But I argued it was a boy because I always craved sour things. He said it was nothing and shrugged it off, somehow he wanted a girl.
Whenever he was with me, he always spent time with the baby holding my bump or laying his head on it. He would stroke it gently and would talk to the baby about his day and most of the time, we would feel the baby kick and move a little. I would always stare at his eyes which were filled with joy, love and happiness.
“Ugh”, I groaned when I felt another jab in my back.
A little while my water broke but I still wanted the baby to stay inside for a little while so I shrugged it off and went back to bed. But when the pain seemed to get worst I couldn’t stand it and made my way inside the bathroom. I didn’t even know what to do so I just stared at my reflection for quite a while.
The door opening caught my attention and Arcado peeked his head inside. A nervous smile crawled up on my lips and I turned towards him, his eye brows were furrowed in confusion as he fully made his way inside. Another jab was felt and I took a deep breath to calm myself down.
“What happened Mi Amore?”, He walked up to me.
“Don’t panic, but I think our baby is coming”, I inhaled deeply as his intoxicating scent clouded my mind.
He froze midstep and stared down at me with his jaw slacked and wide eyes. Shaking his head, his pace quickened and he gripped my hands tightly while standing in front of me. His eyes held fear in them and I gave him a slight smile, while leaning up to peck his lips.
“Alright, what are we waiting for, let’s get to the doctor quick”, He wounded his arms around my legs and waist, carrying me bridal style.
I squealed “Put me down, I am heavy”.
Not even listening to my protests, he ran out of our room and towards the stairs. Sophia’s eyes widened as she stared up at us. Giving her a smile, I gulped when I felt three jabs in my back. Exhaling deeply, I laid my head on his chest. Arcado”s eyes connected with Sophia.
“Go get the baby’s things”, He ordered and without a question Sophia ran up the rest of the stairs and disappeared into our room.
“Oh my god”, I yelped as I felt the baby move quite a few times.
“Are you hurt?”, He had worry etched on his face.
“Just a little”, I panted.
The doctor’s quarters came into view and Arcado rushed up the stairs carefully with me in his arms. The nurses sprinted to our side and helped Arcado to put me to bed. Once I was settled the doctor checked my vitals and how far I was.
Getting out a latex glove, he ordered for me to take off my pants causing Arcado to growl at him. Placing my hands on his, I gave him a nod and he took off my pants. Changing me into the hospital gown, he once again settled me on the bed and gripped my hands tightly.
“You’re already ten centimeters dilated so you can begin pushing”, The doctor instructed.
Gut wrenching fear gripped my insides and I wanted to puke but I held it in and nodded my head towards the doctor. Taking a deep breath, I connected my hands with Arcado”s, gripping it tightly. Kissing my knuckle, he stroked it and leaned down placing a kiss on my forehead.
“I am right here, Mi Amore”, He whispered.
His hands grasped my hand tightly and I let out an exhale while beginning to push. It was painful to say the least, but I had to do it for my baby. I wanted to hold her in my arms and pepper kisses all over her face while she slept peacefully. Closing my eyes, I let out another push and a scream.
“Keep pushing, I see it’s head”, the doctor encouraged.
“I can’t do this”, I sobbed out.
“Hey hey, look at me, you can do this, just hold eye contact with me and don”t think of anything else Mi Amore”, His eyes shimmered with tears.
Taking a deep breath, I pushed once more with all my might and heard the most beautiful cry ever. My tears were endless as they flickered over to my baby. Letting out a sob, I held my hands out to hold my baby.
“Congratulations, it’s a girl”, the doctor beamed happily.
He placed my daughter in my hands and I let out a little gasp as I looked at the most beautiful baby in my arms. She let out a wail, but when I gently rocked her, her mouth opened a little and she let out a soft sigh.
“Hi there little princess”, Arcado kisses the top of her head.
His face held tears on them and when they glanced at me, they shone with so much happiness. He smiled and captured my lips in his. Pulling away, he gazed at our daughter who was breastfeeding peacefully.
“Thank you for giving me the most beautiful life”.
