A New Game of Chess

♟six♟

She's dead.

My body was tense. I was trembling. I couldn't move. I wouldn't move. I choked back my tears. I wouldn't cry. I refused to. I was in an unimaginable pain that I couldn't describe. My vision blurred and the room suddenly became dark. Everything around me seemed to stop existing. It was like staring into a black void.

I was snapped back into reality when the man spoke again.

"Any more questions?" he mocked. My eyes turned to him. I said nothing. I just stared at him blankly. Tears still filled my eyes but refused to drop. "Good," he said after my lack of response.

He slowly started untying my feet and started talking again. "Now, time for a proper introduction." I didn't give a shit who he was but I said nothing. "My name is Ezra, but you are only allowed to call me sir."

I'll call you whatever the fuck I wanna call you.

"I am the leader of this mafia, and you will respect me at all times, got it?" I stared at him and said nothing. As he got done untying my feet, he slowly got up while dusting his hands. In one swift motion, he grabbed my throat and brought me closer to his face. My eyes widened at his unexpected move. He squeezed lightly before saying, "I said you will respect me at all times, got it?" His voice was more aggressive than before. It was seductively demanding.

I nodded quickly.

"Words," he demanded.

"Y- Yes sir." my words stumbled. He let go of my throat and proceeded to untie my hands. I felt too numb to process what had just happened.

"Now," he finally said after untying my hand. "let me set some rules for you because you are," he paused and looked me up and down "troublesome." he finished.

"Rule number one. Do not leave anywhere without my permission. Rule number two. I do not like to repeat myself, so stay attentive every time I tell you to do something. Rule number three. Like I mentioned before, you will respect me and everyone here." He continued to list a bunch of other rules that I struggled to keep up with. "And my last and most important rule. Do not humiliate me. Especially in front of important guests. Do you understand?"

"Mhm."

"Words." he sounded more irritated.

"Yes."

"Yes, what?" I didn't respond. He chuckled and moved his mouth next to my ear, "It seems like you don't like to follow rules." He grabbed my jaw and tilted it up towards his face, forcing me to look at him. "I told you I don't like repeating myself didn't I?" His grey eyes now looked murderous as he clenched my jaw in his hands. I winced and finally replied.

"Yes sir."

"Good. Now I'm going to call one of my men to escort you to the room you will be staying in. Don't try anything funny." And with that being said, he turned around and pulled out his phone. His voice was low while he talked on the phone.

I searched around the room for any sharp objects without moving my body. My eyes came across Ezra's golden letter opener on his desk. I looked over to him to see his back still facing me and turned my focus back to the letter opener. In a swift motion, I grabbed it and put it in my hair. Ezra was still distracted.

Thank God I let my hair down today.

Shortly after, Ezra finished the phone call and turned back to me.

"One of my men will be here in a second, in the meantime, I will be taking another call. Sit still and don't disturb me, got it?"

"Yes sir."

I decided this would be the perfect time to assault him with the letter opener. I pulled it out from my hair and slowly got up from the couch. I crept up behind his tall figure and slowly raised my hand ready to stab him in the neck. Right as I was going to attack him, he turned around, caught my wrist in his rough hand, and twisted my arm so that it was on my back. Then he pushed my body to the wall while still holding my wrist. My juicy ass was now pressing against his front, and my chest was uncomfortably pressed against the wall.

Fuck my life.

"Did you really think you could pull that off?" His soft lips were pressing against my ear once again. "After the many assassinations attempts I've been through, this was probably the weakest one." he chuckled, sending shivers down my spine. "And if you're still planning on killing me, just give up now because the next time you pull that bullshit," he paused. "I won't hesitate to kill you." He planted a soft kiss on my neck before finally letting go. He took the letter opener out of my hand and turned his back towards me.

I was in such a daze but was interrupted by a couple of knocks on the door. The same one the two men used when they brought me to Ezra.

"Come in," he said. Two bald, muscular men walked in, and Ezra pointed to me.

"Come with us." one of them said. I hesitated before following them.
