Leo was in gym bruising his knuckles in punching bag. Yet another day, yet another perso, yet another situation and his mod was spoiled. He always tried his best to control his nager but he just can’t seem to.

He was about to punch again but before his fist could connect with the sandbag, a hand hold his. Leo got angered and without even looking up, he made a fist and turned around to punch whoever tried to stop him.

Before his fist could even touch the person, Leo was on the ground with the man’s knee on his stomach.

“Control your anger!” Alessandro, the eldest Romano brother asked his younger one.

“Sandro!” His eyes went wide on seeing him “Sorry I…..” He tried to say.

“Enough!” Sandro said giving his hand to make him stand up “Look at this man and observe him. He is Dante, the informer of Russians. He will be crucial to reach Russians.” Sandro said giving him an envelope and left.

  Leo went back to his room and took a shower. He came outside in towel and got ready for the mission his brother handed him. He open the envelope and saw him visiting his cafe every Friday at 1 in noon.

As he left his room, he collided with his younger sister Alessa .

“Where are you off to sorellina?” he asked with furrowed brows.

“Cle.” She said and ran off to their elder brother’s room.

Leo looked at her running and smiled “Only if I had the ability to express my emptions , maybe I would be able to show her how much I love her.” He sighed and left his mansion.

After getting on his bike, it didn’t take Leo too long to reach the café where that man could be find. He parked his bike away from anyone’s sight .He lit a cigarette and leaned on his bike, observing the owner of the café through the galsses of the café.

While he was busy noticing the actions of the Dante , his eyes went to a soft boy standing beside table in front of glass window. His eyes squinted on seeing Vivaan in waiter’s uniform taking order. He couldn’t understand the reason behind Vivaan’s presence in this café and that too as a waiter.

He quickly took his phone out of his pocket and dialed Samuel who was appointed as Alessa’s personal bodyguard.

“Yes boss.” Samuel said frantically from the other side

“You did the background check on Vivaan?” Leo asked in a calm and composed voice.

“Yes boss.”

“Send me the details .” He said and saw Vivaan leaving the table “ And do a further check, each and everything about him, even the background of his family.”

“Is there anything wrong sir?” Samuel asked confused with his demand.

“Do as I say.” He said and cut the call

Just when Dante gets out of the café and Leo put on his helmet ready to follow him. As Dante was about to sit in his car, Vivaan came running and gave a paper to him. Dante smiled and patted Vivaan’s back while his hand stayed there for more than a moment while Vivaan tried to move back. Leo tightened his hold on his bike and bore holes with his eyes in Dante.

Dante sat in his car and left . Leo looked at Vivaan for the last time and put feet on his pedal looking at the back of Vivaan going inside café with his hand slightly shivering.

Vivaan went inside the café and stood at the counter while his mind went back to the event happened a moment ago. Dante is his employer and he is not strict like other employers out there but his touch was never comfortable for Vivaan or any other colleague of him. His hands were still shivering as the person on counter gave him the bill. His eyes were still on bill and his mind somewhere else.

A hand placed on his shoulder and he looked up frantically. His colleague who was also like a brother for him , Aaron standing there with concern all over his face.

“Are you fine, Viv?” He said caressing his shoulder “I saw that bastard’s words and hand.” He said with both his hands on his shoulders.

Vivaan sigh a breath “I can’t leave this job bro.”

“Don’t worry. My friend told me about the hiring in a new high end cafe. I talked to him and he can pull some strings for us both.” He said with some hope behind his eyes.

“I hope we could get out of this.”

Aaron ruffled Vivaan’s hair “Don’t worry viv, your bro will get you out of here.”  He said and ruffled his hair as he put the bill in his hand and gave a push on his shoulder to move.

While on the other side, Leo was still following Dante. It was a deserted road with long trees on the side and only Dante’s car with Leo’s bike could be seen on the whole road. Leo increased the speed of his bike to reach to the car.

A black leather jacket with black jeans ,adidas sports shoes and black helmet covering his face was hiding his identity fully. He put feet on the pedal of his ------ bike. He slowed down his bike beside Dante’s car and knocked on his window.

As the window of the car rolled down, loud sound of music blazing reached leo’s ear.

“What do you want fucker?” Dante shouted.

Leo smirked under his helmet . He pointed his index finger at Dante and then at front causing him to put a sudden brake.

Two G wagon were standing in the middle of road blocking it completely with some bodyguards standing in front with guns in their hand. He looked at his side and saw the bike stopped back at some distance already.

One look at the car and Dante knew these car belongs to no one else but The American Mafia.

“No way I am going to die today.” He said as he started his car again and decided to try his fate completely.

He put his feet on the accelerator. As his car moved, he felt a little bump and all his tyres flat. He looked in his rear view mirror and noticed ------. The car went out of his control and collided with a tree.

The ----- of the car prevented him from getting into any injury but he was not safe for too long. After getting his car bumoed into a tree, he looked to the side and saw the guards moving towards his car. He quickly locked his car and grabbed his phone quickly in the hope of getting some help.

Leo looked at the man playing tricks even in this grave situation and smirked at him.

“ Put the petrol around his car.” He said   “ Even I want to see his resistance.” And finished while bringing a lighter out of his pocket.

One of the guard brough the can of petrol from the back of the car and spreaded it all around the Dante’s car. Dante looked at the can and the man who had a sadistic smile on his face as he poured the petrol all around his car.

Leo walked towards the car with the lighter whirling around his hand. He looked at Dante shivering through the back of the car and smirked at his scared self.

Leo bring out a cigarette from his pocket and put it between his lips “Let’s see how much of burn can your body actually handle.” He said as he lit his cigarette and threw the lighter towards the petrol traol.

The petrol catch the fire in a blink of an eye and soon the car was surrounded by large flames. Not even some minutes later, the flames reached his car.

Dante left his phone and dashed out of the car. Once he saw the intensity of flames on going out of the car, he stepped back. And he knew that he is gonna die soon. And with the less hopes of getting saved , he jumped in the fire while covering himself with his coat.

He felt the burning sensation in his body as he crossed the fire but what was waiting for him outside of the fire was much harsher and heart wrenching than anything.

Out of the fire was standing , His death (Slow but Scary).
