Ava p.o.vDuring the ride home I couldn't process anything, my mind has completely gone blank. I couldn't even breath properly, I was finding it hard to digest the fact that Marco is missing and probably in danger with whoever took him.Why him, I asked myself blinking back my tears, He's just a kid for heaven's sake, I couldn't even begin to imagine how scared, confused and sad he most be feeling right now. He must be shivering in fear and curled up in a corner scared out his mind seeing so many unfamiliar faces armed with dangerous weapons around him.The deep and silent growl that vibrated from beside me had me turning to Vince, he had a calm expression on his face. But his tense shoulders and his fist clenching on the steering were what gave him away.Although, I couldn't see his eyes since his gaze his focused was on the road, driving with incredible speed that has my heart leaping out of my chest. I know his eyes would be fill with different emotions.He doesn't want me to see
Ava p.o.vOnce inside our room, Vince slammed the door shut with unnecessary force. I flinch from the impact, I gulp fearfully as Vince angrily pace the room. I wonder if he's angry at Kara or just angry about the situation we are in.I wait patiently for him to calm down, he took a few deep calming breaths. Stalk towards me, stopping an inch in front of me and pulling me into his arms. I quickly wrapped my arms around his neck, resting my head on his solid chest listening to his heart beating rapidly."You're the only one keeping me sane." Vince buried his face in my neck, sniffing on my neck. I run my hand on the back of his head in attempt to provide some sort of comfort, and reassurance that everything will be alright."Seeing both you and the baby safe is what's keeping my sanity, and I want it to be that way." He pulled back a little, looking me in the eyes before pulling me into a heart wrenching kiss. I quickly return his kiss, putting all my emotions into the kiss as much as
Ava p.o.vMy heart clenched harshly against my ribcage, my whole body went cold with dread. Fear paralyzed me as my phone beeps again, indicating a message just dropped. The phone is right in front of us on the bed, but I didn't have the courage to pick it up and check what was sent.We both stare at it for a few minutes before Kara had the courage to pick the phone."Cooper fleid" Kara read out. I inhale audibly, not out all relief with the information because it's a signal for us to leave. And fall straight into his trap, I know this is all a set up and it's very dangerous but I have to take this risk.Maybe it will buy us some time for Vince to come to our rescue, even then I can't sit still and wait for Vince to save us, I might as well plan our escape.Having gotten some courage, I took the phone from Kara in time just as another message came in. "You have thirty minutes to get out of the house, two miles away a car is waiting for you guys. And be sure to give your phon
Ava p.o.v"Ava! What's wrong." Kara panicked, gripping my arms to keep me stable from crumbling down. "Pain." I gasped, I suddenly felt drained, all the adrenaline disappear leaving extremely exhausted. I just want to lay down and sleep, a short whimper left my lips as the pain suddenly intensifies crawling up around my ribcage. Then go back down to my lower back, causing me to double over.I grip Kara's hand tight for support, and wrapped my other hand around my waist as if to sub-press the pain."Oh my God Ava! For a moment I forgot you are pregnant." Kara exclaimed in fear, there confusion and fear in her voice. Even I am scared too, I don't want anything bad to happen to my baby."Me too." I have also forgotten that I am pregnant, damn Vince for putting me in the situation he could have waited for at least a year before having a baby. That's one of the reasons I was against having a baby now because I am a target right now.Now I regret all the running stunt I had put on, but I k
Vincenzo p.o.vThe look on Vincenzo's face when he stormed in, was gloomy and raging storm. It has everyone walk around on their toes, and those working focus more on their job. Or should I say pretending to be focused.He walk straight into the elevator, the elevator took him to the top floor. Opening directly in a room filled with his best hackers and trackers. Each one of them were extremely focus on their job, knowing too well not to step on their already pissed boss's way.Vincenzo stop behind Oliver, the man in charge of this department. He was tense as he sense his boss dangerous aura."Boss." He greets composing himself."Who did it." Vincenzo dismissed, going straight to what brought him here."Nikolai Vladimir." Oliver answered. Vincenzo clenched his fist, straining himself from hitting something, anything.The rage in him burns in flames, He had expected Nikolai Vladimir to come to him, but what piss him off was that Marco was now entangle in this cat and mouse chase at suc
Ava p.o.vDanger and anger was what actually got me all scared, and ready to run faster than Usain Bolt any minute.I felt myself shake as our eyes met, I gripped Marco against myself to gain some kind of reassurance, as my whole body trembled in fear.The blonde hunk paced towards us, his bodyguards part way for him like the red sea. Before expertly surrounding us, immediately, I felt trapped even though I was already trapped."Hello, Sweetheart." He greeted. His soft melodious voice danced to my ears, his voice is as smooth and sweet as sugary drinks."Ava Sophie Marcus, is it?" He cocked an eyebrow. "Oops!" He slap his hand over his mouth, forging having forgotten something. "Sorry, Ava Vincenzo Alfonso." He laughed merrily as he corrected himself, as if he didn't have a care in the world. But those sexy and attractive blues eyes says something else, something dark, dangerous and scary. This Blondie wasn't to be messed with, I can already sense the danger within him from miles.An
Ava p.o.vWhip.Whip.Whip.The sound of whip and TV were the only thing that could be heard in the silence of the room, I was drained of every last bit of strength I have left.The image of little Nikolai slowly and painfully carving Vince's back, drawing the letter V on Vince's back. Vince screamed and begged Nikolai to stop, but that little wizard laughs merrily as he continues doing his work.For once in the last ten minutes the whipping stopped, I had screamed my voice out with Vince earlier while watching that horrible scene. And now I think I lost my voice, I glanced at Marco for the first time since the TV was turn off, to see him cry as him watches everything.I wish he didn't have to see this, to see both his Mom and Dad been tortured. He must have watch the recording as well, I wish I can change everything. My regret is that this whole ordeal will leave an imprint in his mind.He is going to be traumatized.I closed my eyes, trying to catch myself."I've always wanted to de
Vincenzo p.o.vEverywhere went silent, it's was deadly silent as nobody had expected Vince to kill someone outside the duel. It's a clear challenge, clear as daylight.Vincenzo has always been a reasonable man, however, when someone crosses the line. The ruthless predator came out and nothing was going to stop the catastrophe from happeningNikolai boiled in pure rage as he watched one of his own drop dead, he wasn't expecting Vincenzo to make such move. But what he didn't know was that, Vincenzo would not tolerate anyone who lay their hands on his woman. It's was a clear death mission, which Vincenzo didn't fail to give the guy that hurt his woman.Ava gasped in shock, this is the second time Vincenzo has killed someone in her present, it's only fair that she's still not used to such things."We need to get you cover because we're about to get down to business." Dante grinned, the excitement and eagerness was clearly displayed on his face. Like he has been starved of his favorite mea
