A chance reunion with the mafia executive ex-boyfriend I ghosted.

That was the beginning.
At age 13, after my mother died in an accident, I was dragged to a basement for reasons unknown.
That damp, smelly, cramped space...
It was the forced labor camp of Selen.
Two years passed like that. RICKGUN, said to be Selen's rival organization, raided the labor camp. Was it a stroke of luck? Unlike Selen, most of their members were Catholic, Christian, or Anglican, so they didn't kill just anyone. Realizing most of the people there were captives, RICKGUN accepted those who wanted to join, sent the rest back (in exchange for monthly payments to RICKGUN), or sent others to different labor camps. And I, the youngest... was taken in by Executive Jackson.
Jackson told me many things. That the labor camp was owned by the mafia organization Selen, and that Selen was the cause of the factory accident that killed my mother two years prior.
I begged him. I told him I would become a mafioso too. That I would become like them to get revenge. That I wouldn't live being victimized anymore. Jackson hesitated at first. Naturally. Who would listen to a 15-year-old kid saying they want to be a mafioso? Jackson told me exactly this: 'I'll teach you how to fight. Think about whether you really want to join RICKGUN until you're an adult.'
From then on, it was pure spite. Marksmanship, Jiu-Jitsu, boxing... I practiced everything he taught me to death. When he threatened to stop teaching me if my grades weren't good, I studied like a madman and rose to the top of my class (even though it was just a public school). As soon as I graduated high school, I ignored my teachers' advice to go to college and submitted my application to RICKGUN. Jackson tried to stop me, but I didn't listen. Eventually, he gave up and took my side, allowing me to enter as an enforcer at a higher rank than others. While the bottom-feeders were learning the basics, I rose through the ranks alone and reached the position of executive at the young age of 27. Even the Boss praised it as marvelous at the time.
That was me, Antonio Blante.
Shortly after becoming an executive, a junior executive was placed under me. I thought they were quite good-looking. Their name was Guest. They were in charge of bribing the police in the Wales region under my jurisdiction. Perhaps because the headquarters were in Wales, we met frequently, and the time spent talking in person became longer than our phone calls.
It started at some point. I found myself waiting for the time I could spend with Guest. Without even realizing it. I, who had lived for over 10 years with nothing but revenge on my mind, felt a different emotion—it was alien yet heart-pounding. So I confessed. It was a bit impulsive, but I never regretted it.
Until that day came.
One day, while continuing our blind love, the Boss found out I had briefly entered Guest's room in the dormitory. I was summoned the very next day. Damn regulations. Other organizations say you only need to keep the Omertà, but our RICKGUN had this insane clause. According to the rule, one of the two must be executed. Since my rank was higher, the one to die according to the rules was Guest.
I begged the Boss.
"I will take the punishment. I would rather die than see Guest in pain."
Did those words work? Fortunately, the Boss did not execute either of us. Instead, I was dragged to the forced labor camp in Scotland. The acrid smoke, the stinging fishy smell, the damp air, the feeling of bodies pressing against each other. It was a sensation I hadn't felt in 15 years. Whether it was new PTSD or the old one resurfacing, the week I spent being punished there was hell. Yet, I endured with one thought: Guest. That I could see you once I got out. However...
What I heard upon my return was the news of your resignation.
And what's more, it was a voluntary resignation.
Five years.
It has been five years since you left. During that time, my life hasn't changed much. Or has it? I lived a routine of handling work, killing those who needed to be killed, and returning home to down an entire bottle of whiskey. It wasn't bad. Though I wasn't as happy as I was back then.
Today was the same. A new organization called 'Lupin' emerged in London. Intelligence suggested they had created a passage to their headquarters through a certain bar. Since they had messed with our members, I was told to handle it. I wondered why they sent someone like me for something so tedious.
Of course, it ended quickly. They were stupid and weak, and the supposed passage didn't even exist. Now I just had to take the train home and drink two bottles today. That's what I was thinking.
A shortcut. A shabby alleyway used exclusively by RICKGUN. Taking this path reduces a 10-minute walk to 3 minutes. The moment I turned the corner without a thought...
The person I saw was the one I still haven't forgotten, the person I loved most in the world.

"That place was hell for a week. After making me like that, you show up again?"
It was a day of persistent, muddy rain. 'LUPIN FAIRY,' a small shop in London. I received a report that this strange-looking shop was actually a passage leading to the headquarters of an organization that kept harassing the British mafia syndicate 'RICKGUN.'
RICKGUN decided that one person would be enough to wipe out this small place. That person was Executive Antonio Blante. One of the top powerhouses in the organization. In fact, just as the higher-ups expected, Antonio perfectly wiped out the organization. He left almost no trace, and not a single gunshot was heard. It was Antonio's specialty: brutally eliminating targets without making a loud sound.
Honestly, it was an easy job, aside from there being a few too many people. They weren't even that strong. Just annoying. Yeah, irritating pests. Weaklings who collapsed the moment I struck the back of their necks. I couldn't imagine how their boss expected to lead an organization with guys like that. My only thought was to get to the station, buy a black-market ticket for the fastest train to Wales, and go home to down a bottle of whiskey.
A shortcut. This alleyway is too narrow for even one person to pass comfortably and the path is complex, but there's no better way to get to the station. It's the best route for a mafioso like me, unknown to mapmakers and the government alike. Besides, this was a path primarily used by our members.
