Chapter: 25Lila’s POVI was huddled up by the head of the bed, with Leo standing by the door when suddenly, he froze. From what I had observed from my obnoxious and mean husband, Armani, he was afraid of no one. So, what could his friend, Leo, be fearful of?My scared eyes watched him as a hawk as he retrieved his hand from the silver door handle, still staring at the door like it had an answer embedded in it.The next thing that happened went by so fast that it was hard to take note of it. One minute, Leo was standing by the door, his handsome features backing me, and the next, he dashed into the closet, closing the door quietly against himself.I could see what he was running away from when the door was pushed open, and Armani stepped in, looking as menacing as ever. He had worn a jacket over the dark outfit he had on a few hours ago when he was torturing me in the basement.Intense fear overpowered me again as he strolled further into the room, his eyes on the window at the far end and on the

Chapter: 24Leo’s POVThe bar was silent the minute Armani stepped out, leaving me to my thoughts. I knew the right thing to do was to down my tequila and head over to my mansion. I had a lot of papers waiting for me in my office, and my cousin, Greg, was throwing a party that needed me in attendance.But for some reason, I couldn’t leave Armani’s mansion.My mind kept going back to Lila, wondering how she was doing. I had almost broken the glass to shards with my hands when Armani mentioned that the Donald clan had planned to get through to him through Lila.It felt strange to me because usually, I barely paid attention to Armani and his ways. We made the best pair ever, and it had worked for me over the years. While he was excessive in torture, I preferred slow and steady planning. The effect was always more brutal. But that didn’t mean I didn’t condone it when Armani inflicted torture on people.Although I find it boring, I still watch him, enjoying the thrill and relief it brings to his face.

Chapter: 23Armani’s POVIf Leo wasn’t my friend, his head would have been hanging on a stake right at this minute. No one dared to walk into the torture room, especially after I gave strict others to be left alone with my wife. When it came to torturing Lila, I basked in the feeling – one that her father handed to me on a platter.“Your business is in the rest of the mansion, apart from here, Leo,” I sternly muttered, half-expecting him to take the cue and get the fuck out of the basement. Instead, he came closer with a muscle jutting in his chin, like he was displeased at what I was doing.Leo had always been the one with the most human feelings, but that didn’t mean he was nice. While I tended to react on the spot, Leo brooded over it each time someone crossed him. He preferred to map out his plans slowly, punishing the offender when he least expected.We were polar opposites, yet we worked so well together.“Your business doubles as mine, brother,” he said, chuckling. Giving Lila a once over,

Chapter: 22Lila’s POVIt wasn’t my first time getting locked up in the torture room, yet I couldn’t stop the shivers from erupting through my spine. Nobody could ever get used to getting beat up almost every day because their father couldn’t keep his greed in check. Fuck James Brown!I could hear the footsteps of his men parade in the torture room, and I was scared that they would drag me to the center of the room again. I felt a sharp pain through my wrist where Armani had pulled me as if reminding me that it could happen at any minute again. Against myself, I wondered if Bella was doing okay. I hadn’t heard from her since the last time I was at her house, and with Armani threatening to do something bad to her if I stepped one toe out of line again, I couldn’t help but wonder if he actually went through with his plans. The torture room was located in the basement of the mansion, so sunlight barely came down there, but at least the only thing I could hear was Alexa’s voice each time someone

Chapter: 21Armani’s POVThe silence that reverberated around the room irked me to the core, and it took everything within me not to smash something against the intruder’s head. My men knew how much I hated silence when I asked a question, and this stranger was just getting on my nerves. “Did you lose your tongue on the way here?” I bellowed, glaring daggers at him. I enjoyed watching him cower in fright, his head almost touching the ground. Usually, I would ask him to be thrown into the torture room until he was in enough pain to force him to talk. But with everything that had happened today, I surprisingly still had adrenaline pumping through me, mixed with a little boredom.This fucker here could entertain me today, especially since Leo rudely interrupted my sweet time with Lila. Sitting on the white couch, I snapped a finger to the housekeeper hanging around, and a glass of iced scotch was in my hand in a minute. I put the glass against my lips, taking my precious time to down its content.

Chapter: 20Armani’s POV“It wouldn't look too good for me to come out covered in your blood, now would it be darling?” I asked, with a smirk plastered on my face as I tightened my grip around her wrist.“Armani!” The same voice from earlier called out violently from behind me as I heard hurried footsteps coming from behind as well.I clenched my jaw as I let go of her, glaring at Lila in front of me, watching another figure approach us from the dark. For some reason, I could tell whoever it was happened to be someone familiar from the sound of their voice in the dark.“You have to chill out man!” The familiar voice scowled coming into the light, and just when he did I realized who it was standing right in front of me.Leo!!!…“What do you want?” I asked, my voice coming across colder than intended. Leo quickly had his eyes on her behind me, avoiding my menacing gaze and then he walked past me as he had her pulled back up to her feet dragging her onto the car.Caring motherfucking Leo.I loathed

Chapter: 35The men come back again to my cell still in arguments about on whether to harvest my organs Or not. Earlier the other man had spotted my pack sign and informed the masked man of which pack I belonged to and it would be a problem if it was later traced back to them. He informs him of how dangerous it would be to their operations if they were to have a run in with the other pack and suggest they let me go so as to avoid any problem in the near future.“Do you know we are already running short on our deliveries this month and you want to let one go? An expensive one at that. If we get this one it’ll be worth ten others and that would be enough to spare us from the big Boss wrath this month. I know you clearly remember what Hal the last time we failed him” The masked man turned to his companion and he looked awayI had a suspicion as to why they were putting on masks and I guess it had something to do with their punishment. I wanted to feel bad for them but they had taken countless of liv

Chapter: 34I wake up with a banging headache and the metallic taste of blood in my mouth. I can feel it ran down my face and was roughly treated. The room is dark and it does not look like there is any light in view and I struggle to recollect what was the last thing that happen. It comes in bit and pieces. I remember being on a call with Amaya and then I remember flipping and losing the phone. Next thing I remember is being lifted and dumped and the back of a truck and it all went dark. As the last memory comes in I call out for help and no one answers me. I call out a few more times and no one answers me.I think back to home and how I left things recently contacted Amaya and Trevor is with her. Trevor. I remember that I have not beards from my son in a long time and by now he will be worried and here I am in a dark room that I don’t know where I am. I call out for help so more and the calls turn into screams as no one seems to respond m. I let out an ear piercing scream which echoes of the wa

Chapter: 33It takes a lot to convince Amaya to take care of Trevor and make sure the boy is comforted and isn’t suspicious of his mother’s disappearance. It’s going to be a big job as I know that Trevor is a really smart kid and it’s not going to be long before he starts asking the right questions about his mother and when he does not get the right answers he is going to start getting suspicious and worried. It’s already been a day since he heard from her last and it’s already been too long for him.I also plan on talking to him to get him relaxed a bit and might even go see him to comfort him in person to distract him all of this in midst of making plans to get his mother back home. It’s all he can think of at the moment. We all gather in the room making calls and plotting to get her back. Everton has a contribution from Cole, Drake and Elena even chips in occasionally. Amaya is one a call with Trevor trying to do her best to make him not suspect what is going on. From the distance he can see h

Chapter: 32“What do hell do you mean by that Amaya” I asks again and she turns to face Drake for an explanation.Drake keeps his head down in shame and I’m so close to losing my cool with him if he does not start speaking.“Drake if you don’t start speaking I swear to God that I’m gonna…”“It was yesterday and I needed to go for a meeting out of town but decided against it and needed a representative so chose Alexa to go represent me at the meeting…”The more Drake talks it becomes clearer that sending Alexa out was all a rouse to get her out of town so I would not see her as they concluded the deal. I can’t believe that he would do this sort of reckless thing just to keep her out of sight from him. The more I listen to him the more I want to break his stupid face.He finishes and no one says anything about it. Cole looks away not wanting to be involved and from his actions I know that he was clearly against this but was ignored so he’s leaving him to carry his cross.“You claim you love her but

Chapter: 31Authors POVDrake is restless as he has not heard from Alexa in over a day and tries calling her but it keeps going to voicemail. He wonders why she didn’t call when she arrived but then again thought could he blame her. After all she did not want to go and he made her go for this so it only makes sense that she would not want to talk to him. He paces around his room unable to get some sleep and is filled with regrets as to how he acted towards he. He thinks that he should have been a more matured person and not let petty rivalries get in the way of their relationship. He is lost in thought of how much of a good person she has been and how she navigates the struggles of being a single mother. He thinks about Trevor also and feels guilty, at a time she would have brought Trevor for him to look after and now he does not even know where Trevor is as she is away which is also his fault. He tries calling again one last time and it goes to voicemail.“Alexa when you get this I want you to k

Chapter: 30Author's PovAmaya was really excited to watch Trevor and I could understand that, he could be sweetheart but when she tried to inquire about my situation I have to deflect it and ask about her and her family, what she had been up to and work. I know that it does not make up for the lost time and how I handled things but I’m glad that we could do this right now. She tries again to inquire and I know that I can’t keep deflecting what happened for too long.“So how is your boss?” Amaya asks“He is doing okay” I reply lightly“Is he the one sending you on this errand?”“Yes he is, but it’s a really important meeting and he’s sending me to handle it. I guess he trusts me that much and I won’t let him down”.“He must really be a good man for you to really want to deliver this for him”“He is…”We both end say our last and I tell her that I’ll see her in a bit while I put together my things and have to go get Trevor’s things and also talk to him about my journey for the next few days. It’s
