Lydia POV: That scary bodyguard was called Dome and somehow it seemed like he was the head of all the other bodyguards. Ricky made him drive the car we were on and we headed to a location I didn't even know. Slowly those images I saw in movies before where a woman was kidnapped and brought to a secluded location, getting tortured and killed just flashed like a cinema screen inside my head. I instantly shook my head to brush away the thoughts. "What's wrong?" Ricky asked and slowly turned his stern face on me. He finally broke the eerie atmosphere inside the car, being the first one to talk ever since the car started moving. "Are your bodyguards always this scary looking?" I pointed at Dome. I saw him glance at me through the rearview mirror without a smile. Oh, gosh! It was so scary and I looked away instantly to avoid the short stare. "Dome here is my most trustworthy man. He used to be Cassie's personal bodyguard," Ricky explained still with his firm tone. He didn't seem like he
Riccardo POV: That was it! I couldn't stand this woman. I signalled the waiter to bring me the bill. I paid for it and just left her hanging. I didn't have the desire to bicker with her right now. Besides, I already got the information I wanted. I told Luffy to drive Lydia back to the company. I didn't want to sit in the same car with her because she was just too irritating. Who the hell she thought she was, dared to criticize me regarding my relationship with Cassie? She knew nothing about it, what my intention was and the problem that I needed to solve between the Rossi and the De Luca. I got into the car and told Dome to drive slowly. I just needed some time to think right now. Leo must have had her right now. If she couldn't be contacted any more, there were only two possibilities, either Leo disallowed her to use her phone or she already left the country. Regardless of it, the only way I could find her again was if I meet Leo personally. He held the information of her whereabou
Riccardo POV:"Give Cassie back to me," I went directly to the point. Leo instantly laughed at my demand as if he was mocking me."She's not with me," he said firmly later."Stop lying. I knew you asked her to meet you two days ago," I replied."I was. But the Rossi took her away before I was able to meet her," Leo seemed calm answering my question, it just annoyed me."Stop blaming this on the Rossi! Why would the Rossi want to take her away?! I knew she was with you right now! Give her back to me," I snapped.I didn't know why there were too many people who irritated me today. First, it was Lydia, then Carina and now Leo."How should I know that?! Why don't you ask your wife why she took Cassie?! Your wife was probably mad that you wanted to divorce her so maybe she wanted Cassie dead!" Leo snapped back. It seemed like he was irritated at me too."Stop making a fake excuse to me! I knew you had her! Her friend came to see me today and told me Cassie went missing after meeting you!"
Leonardo POV: It was after dusk when Luther came to my study at the mansion. "Sir, we found the spy. It was Adriano," he said. I nodded in understanding and just looked dejected for a bit. It felt like my heart got a pang at the information. All this time, I had treated Adriano like my own flesh and blood, just like Logan. He had been by my side, knowing all my plans and I never once would have thought he would betray me. "Take him to the torturing chamber," I ordered and Luther concurred immediately and went out to carry out my demand. I took a moment to process this and sat on my swivel chair behind the office desk. I opened the drawer under the desk and took out a red file containing all the evidence that linked Carina to Nicola's death. I didn't know when Adriano started getting close to Carina and how it happened. But to be betrayed this way and got my beloved Nicola killed was unforgivable. Slowly my hands trembled. I could feel an immense amount of rage filling my heart. T
Riccardo POV:It felt like my eyes just got opened. The evidence that Leo had was totally different from what I had. It was so detailed that I didn't think he was lying about all the accusations he had made towards the Rossi before. Did that mean that I had been deceived by Carina all this time?"That bastard over there was a spy for the Rossi. He was the sole reason why Carina was able to capture Cassie. Please, Ricky... Don't let this go on for too long... Wake up! You got to trust me! We can't just let Cassie die as Nicola did..." Leo sounded so desperate. He looked at Adriano referring to that man as the spy.I took the knife again and started approaching Adriano. I squatted down in front of him and had our eyes on the same level, glaring at him with murderous intention slowly lurking in me."Where is Cassie?!" I asked him harshly and he shook his head, refusing to speak."That walkie-talkie over there, it belonged to him. It wasn't one of our stuff," Luther spoke.My eyes began s
Cassandra POV:Cristian took me. That was the last thing I remembered. When I regained consciousness again, I found myself being taken to this abandoned factory in the middle of nowhere. Yet, my ears were able to hear the sound of water rushing the shore. So, I assumed this place might be by the sea and probably very secluded and far away.I didn't know how many days I had been here, but it felt like forever. My hands and my feet were chained to the floor and I had been lying flat like this for days. They only feed me water, no solid food at all. It was just plain water that honestly tasted like shit. It was probably drugged and not even clean because I felt like having hallucinations the entire time I was here. I couldn't keep track of the time at all. All I knew it was either daylight or night.Today, Carina finally showed her face in front of me. Previously, it was only Cristian and his men that attend to me. She entered the upper part of the factory, where I was held captive whil
Cassandra POV:"Why did you tear her face like that? Now it's turning me off!" Cristian complained again as he saw my bloody face.Carina glanced at him and just twitched her lips in annoyance."Then just cover her face with something. She's still alive so you can still play with her down there," she replied and just pointed her hand towards the part in between my thighs."Can I do it now? Leo's dead anyway," Cristian sounded impatient and began showing his lecherous gaze again at me."Wait up a bit. Let's just wait until Adriano returns here. I promised him that he would get his share from this bitch as well. He'll get sulky if you start without him," Carina halted his intention."Why do I need to wait for him..." he murmured under his breath but quickly shut his mouth when his sister shot him a glare."He helped us a lot, you idiot... Do you think we would be able to know what the De Luca did if not because of Adriano?" Carina berated him.Half an hour passed and Adriano still didn'
Riccardo POV:"We're here," Dome said and my eyes gazed up instantly.The sight of this abandoned factory just piqued some of my dark memories. My late father went here a lot in the past. Although the building was closed, he had used it as a place to dispose of bodies before throwing them into the sea. I didn't think it was just my father who did that. I think all the Mafia Dons had done the same thing, using this place for that purpose and I bet the Rossi siblings probably had this thought in mind regarding Cassie too."The lights are on upstairs. So did the ground floor. There must be people in there. Get ready with your weapons and stay calm," Leo advised.All our men began to get off their cars and held weapons in ready-to-fire positions. I and Leo got off too and we took the lead to march towards the building slowly. I signalled the rest to find someplace to hide first since we were planning of ambushing them silently. As I, Leo and Dome reached the closed entrance door, we sudde
