Still Casey’s POVWithout all this information, Drake is simply operating on instinct, and his actions are messing with my already laid out plans. Tyler told me he was making plans to bursts into the two warehouses with some guys that he trusts. He was still trying to locate the rest of the buildings, but while his guys were investigating and searching for Austin’s secret warehouses, he mobilized some more guys and went to check out the two warehouses that we already know their location. They would have uncovered a huge secret that they would have used against Austin, but they were too late.Drake got to them before us, he destroyed the warehouses without thinking. I’m not sure he knows about the innocent girls and kids that are being held in one of these warehouses. What if he had killed them all, what if my kids were being held there, he would have burned down the building with my kids still in it. He doesn’t have all the facts, and I’m scared he is going to make a mistake that would
“I know Ty, I know how hard it must be for you to watch me being hurt by him and not be able to stop him. I’m glad you were able to control your anger and not try to stop him. I’m super proud of you Tyler, and I miss you more…Now shut up and screw me already!” I teased him jokingly, earning me a smack on my ass, as he walked over to my bed with me still straddling his hips. He placed me on the bed, kissing me so passionately.“Wait, Ty!How do we know when he is coming, are you sure he didn’t instruct his guards to keep watch on us?” I asked in fear.“No, my love. He went with all the guys because he is too scared of your brother. He left only us and the gatekeeper in the building. Besides, I put a tracker on his cars, if they are close by, it would trigger the alarm and warn us of his presence. We are safe my love, for now, I guess. Now shut up and let me work my magic on you!” he teased me back, earning a soft moan and a passionate kiss. We forgot everything happening around us, an
Drakes POV“What the hell is wrong with you, Drake, why would you come to my house without calling me first, are you fucking insane?” she screamed at me nervously, her eyes filled with punished tears. I would have ignored her teary eyes, I may have looked past her rudeness and her nasty words, but how on earth do I ignore the stench of blood that oozes from her body, how do I even ignore the bruises on her face and her body?She looks worn and weary. It’s easy to tell that she is passing through a lot of stress and agony. But that is not even the main issue here, I can’t be worried about her looks when it seems like her life is in danger. I think she is hurt, I can perceive the stench of blood, I just don’t know who is responsible for her misery and why she failed to inform me about it all this while, or am I just imagining it?“What is wrong, Sey-Sey, are you still mad at me because of what happened the other day?I said I was sorry, didn’t I?I already apologized for prying into you
Still Drake’s POVFrom her sad cries and rambling, I could tell that she doesn’t know where he is holding her kids. If they were in this house, I’m sure she would have run in to get them before he could hurt them. In my head, I kept imagining all she had been through, and how she had lived without her kids all this while. She must have been so traumatized by it, how did she survive it?I have always known that Austin Foster is a bastard. His history shows that he is not just a ruthless mob boss, but he also suffers from a serious mental disorder. I never thought much about it, I always thought that it is just a rumor that is fabricated by his enemies, just to discredit him and make him seem more dangerous. But with what I’m seeing here today, I’m pretty sure that every damn thing that was said about him is nothing but the truth. He is a lunatic, and a bastard. And when I finally get to him, I’ll make sure he gets exactly what he deserves.“Get everyone, pull out the boys from all our
Casey’s POVHe is hurt, I can see him bleeding in the arm and thighs, but I refused to show any sympathy to him when Tyler is lying dead in the car trunk and my kids are nowhere to be found. I ignored his pain, I didn’t even look his way. I just leaned on the door, letting my tears flow freely down my cheeks. He is ignoring me as well, but every often, I catch feel his eyes on me and I had to force myself to pretend to be furious at him. I know he tried to get Austin, and I know it’s not his fault that I found myself in that situation, but part of me blames him for leaving. I don’t know why I feel this way, but I just can’t help it. If he hadn’t left us vulnerable, if he had been here with us, protecting us like he always did. I’m sure all this would never have happened. He should have known better than to leave everyone in the hands of Riley. I could hear him speaking to someone on the phone, urging them to turn the city upside down until they are found. I’m guessing my kids were no
Drake’s POV We were lucky enough to get out of that building on time. As soon as I recovered from the shock waves, I ran towards my sister to make sure she was okay. Then we got into the cars and headed back to the city to meet with Liam and the others. Some of the guys were rummaging through the city, trying to find Austin, while the others were searching for my sister's children. Liam and the guys got to the warehouse and secret hideouts on time, but they couldn’t find her kids in any of those buildings. They found some boxes of weapons that were smuggled into the country just recently and some pretty young girls that were being prepared to be taken to the underground slave market. It means that they were at the right place, but there were no kids in those buildings. Just some teenagers and young adults that were ripe for the slave market. I was so distressed, I could see my sister giving up already, resigning herself to her fate. I was on the phone with Liam for almost forty-five
Still Drakes POVI did not meet up with Liam as I intended, I have almost all the thugs, snitches, and drug peddlers in the street searching for that van. There is no way they can get those kids out of this city unless they switch cars. I’m hoping they are found before it gets to that point, I need them to be found before their trail goes cold.“Can I get their pictures?” I asked Casey, snapping her from her thoughts. She had been silent for some time, and I wondered what could be going through her mind. “I don’t have it, I’m not allowed to have their pictures. I only get to chat with them on video calls, and that is if I behave myself and try not to annoy Austin. He sends me their pictures once a month so I can forward them to dad and mom and stop them from asking too many questions about my kids and our well-being.I get distracted by their pictures, whenever he gives them to me, I tend to stare longingly at them for too long. That’s why he made me delete them immediately. But I ha
Riley’s POVHe is trying to play smart on me, I guess he has forgotten who he is dealing with. He has something to gain from all this, that is why he is withdrawing backward, covering his ass while I suffer. I tied reasoning with him, but he claims to be doing all this to protect his fucking brotherhood. I know that there is nothing can say to him that would make him change his mind. A lot of money and properties are involved here, and from the information, I have on him, I know that it is practically impossible to convince him to change his mind. He is a great fool that is prepared to do anything for the money. It is rumored that he sold his mom and his sisters into the slave market just to make a couple of millions of dollars that he still gambled away in the casino. He is mean and so fucking annoying. I won’t sit here and banter words with this lunatic, So I issued a stern warning to him, I warned him of the consequences of going against me and I left him to muse over everything I
Still Drakes POV“I'm so sorry, Drake. I was right there with you and I couldn’t save your woman. I failed you, and I failed Mia. Riley is a bastard, if he were still alive, I would have killed him myself. I’m glad he is dead, he is a fucking monster!You can’t blame yourself for this, Drake, it’s not your fault and it’s not her fault as well.” Liam let out sadly, trying to cheer me up.“I know it’s hard to believe that you just lost a child, but look on the bright side. Your wife is okay, and your brother will never hurt her again because you took care of him already. She is going to wake up in a few hours, and she is going to be okay, I promise. I was a bit busy when you walked in, that is why I couldn’t attend to her myself. You can relax your mind, Mr. Osborne, I’m going to take care of her, I’ll make sure she is okay, that is a promise.” Doctor Larry assured me. I could see her lying peacefully on the bed while the nurses cleaned her up. I can’t call her parents yet, I’m too asha
Still Drakes POV“You are Mine, you bitch!” he let out harshly as he kept hitting her across the face. After a little while, he reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a towel and he placed it on her nose, forcing her to breathe on it. I’m guessing that it is soaked in chloroform, and he wants her to pass out so he can rape her, just like he did with the other girls that Casey spoke to me about. “Riley!Please, stop!Please…” she cried miserably. He ignored her and he kept pressing the towel to her nose while his other hand skillfully worked on her button, trying to take off her cloth. I don’t know why my guards are taking too long, but I know I have to do something right now, or in going to regret this for the rest of my life. I gazed around me, and I saw my guys being held down just like me. Liam and I had the most guys, we had four guys on each person, and they were so rough and mean. But I know I can break free from them easily, I just need little assistance in taking them ou
Still Drakes POV“Kill me, Drake!You can hurt me if you chose to, lock me up and kill me if that would make us even. But leave them out of these, they are just my business partners, and they have no business with you. Let them go, Drake!I could get the Russian government involved in this, I could use you for assaulting my foreign business partners, and you could go to jail, Drake. Let them go and I promise…”“Oh, Really?Do you mind telling me what kind of business partners they are to you?Like, seriously, I want to know why you are pleading for their lives when you have never done anything like this for your family. Are your business partners more important than your family?” I asked him mockingly, earning me a hard look from him. His girlfriend was standing behind him, tapping on her phone. I guess she is trying to reach someone, or maybe she is trying to call the captains and confirm if they are truly in danger. I guess she doesn’t want to believe that her coalition with them is
Riley’s POV“Get the fuck out of here, Riley, and stay the hell out!I don’t want to deal with your silly ass today, I ain’t got time for shit!” he yelled in my face, making me snicker in disgust. I got reliable information from a trusted source. I was informed that Austin Foster is in Drake's custody, and I’ve been asked to take him out as soon as possible. He is a threat to everything we have worked so hard to achieve, so he has to go. I’ve been trying to force Drake to fight back, I wanted to see how far he would go, I want to see if he would hurt his own brother. I know he would never treat me like he treats his other enemies. But I want to know the length he can go to hurt me, and that is why I’m daring him to fight back. The last time I’d dared him this way, I ended up in jail for a while, and then I was out again. If throwing me in jail is the worst my Mafia brother can do to me, then it’s safe to say that I own this city. I can do whatever I like in this city and he would not
Still Drakes POV“Loretta fooled me into thinking that she loves me. She came up with this perfect plan to steal from her bias and elope together. I fell for her tricks and her lies, I never knew she is such a terrible person, I never knew she could turn around and betray me. We had so much in common, and I was so stupid to think that it is true love. But now I know better, she never loved me and she would never love anyone in this lifetime because her heart is filled with greed and evil. If you want to get to the Bratva insurgencies and your brother as well, I would suggest you seize her and force her to spill everything she knows about them.” Justin told me firmly, then he handed me a briefcase that contains all the information he just shared with me, and even more than that.“Loretta stole these files when she used to work for Austin Foster. The plan was to get everything we could lay our hands on, then when we are safely out of this city, we would use the information on these file
Drakes POVHe has been daring me since Austin left this city. I guys the rumor is true after all. My own brother Riley is now a pawn to some freaking Russians who only wish to kill use him and then kill him. He abandoned our family just to become a puppet to these bastards.Wait, what the hell am I even saying?He did not abandon our family, if he did, then he wouldn’t be trying so hard to destroy everything our parents have worked so hard to achieve all their lives. His determination to ruin this family is so great, if I were one of his bosses, I would give him an award for being so tenacious. I get the reports of his attacks every fucking day. He keeps killing my boys, sending me a message that I don’t even understand. My boys are so fucking pissed off by his actions, they keep watering me to give them the order to take him out, but for some weird reason, I can’t seem to do that. I don’t think I can ever give them that order, I can’t even begin to imagine it. He may be an idiot, but
Loretta’s POVJustin left me…He set me up and ran off with all the money we were able to gather after Austin was deported to Russia to face justice in his homeland. He tricked me into believing that we are in this deal together, I never thought I could be outsmarted by a guy, I never even thought that Justin would ever betray me, I never saw him as a guy that could hurt a fly, I thought I could use him, but he ended up using me, and then he set me up with the Bratva insurgency, the same guys that dealt with Austin Foster and forced him to flee out of the city.The last time I had a decent conversation with him was when I told him about my sexual attraction to Drake Osborne. I indicated my interest in Drake, and I told him I wanted to get him to screw me, but he had been so pissed about it. I could vividly recall his exact words to me when I first mentioned it to him. He was like,“Now you’re making me angry and jealous, Rett. Why would fall you for another guy when you have me all to
Still Mia’s POV“I’m not sitting around for you to do everything for me, Drake. I’m bored and I’m so fucking tired of sitting around the house, doing nothing. I need this contract, you know what this contract means to me and my family. I don’t know what I’ll do if the contracts are not awarded to us. I need to be there, I need to be sure that I did everything possible to get that contract, please Drake, just take me with you. I promise, I won’t do anything stupid, I won’t do anything to ruin your hard work, I’ll be good, I’ll be reasonable, I promise.” I kept pleading with Drake as he sat in the dining, having his dinner. Charles, Casey, and their kids were sitting around the dining table as well, but I couldn’t care less. I just want to leave this house and I want to resume work. I’m sure they understand my frustration, they know how long I’ve been enduring this boredom and they sympathize with me as well. But Drake doesn’t seem to care about my feelings. Sometimes I feel he is still
Mia’s POV“I told you to sit back and let me hand this contract, Mia. I got it under control, I can get you that contract, I promise you. I’ve gotten past the initial stage and I’m confident that my pitch is too great to be dismissed. You can stay back and let me get you this contract, then after I secure your contract, you can resume at your new office building.” Drake implored, trying so hard to convince me to stay back at home and rest.It’s been five months since I had that terrible encounter with Riley and his whore Loretta. Drake has been by my side all this while, and I’m so glad that was able to heal faster than anyone expects. The doctor had been so amazing to me and my family. When he saw that I was ready for the surgery, he didn’t wait for Drake's permission before he could take me into the theater. He carried out my surgery, even before my husband could sight the consent papers. He took a great risk, just to save my life. Drake said he is being so nice to us because he want
