Ariana's pov~
Soon enough we were heading for the shallow waters below. Serena lunged at me with the butter knife, she held me down with her other hand under the water. “Serena!” I screamed I battled as the water entered my nose and mouth and I couldn't breathe, I struggled with her arm as she tried to stab me but missed, anger engulfed me, this bitch just tried to kill me!I pushed her off my body with every force I had in me, the water took her deeper, but she crawled her way and lunged at me again.
“You crazy fucking bitch!” I cried as i pushed her off me again.
“You have always been a fucking thorn in my side” Serena yelled grabbing my neck and trying to strangle me under the water.
I heard running feet enter the water and soon the two men were separating us, Silvio grabbed Serena by her neck and pulled her out of the water to the shore.
We watched as Silvio's eyes turned bloody, as his hands held firmly around my sister's neck, she started to struggle and tried to free herself from his hold.
“Silvio, let her go” I cried, but he wasn't listening, his mission was to kill serena.“Silvio let her go, you are killing her!” Vincent exclaimed charging at him but he pushed him hard until he fell into the water violently.
He turned in horror and moved away from silvio
I saw as life was almost leaving Serena’s body, I hated Serena just as much as she hated me but I didn't want her dead.“Silvio please stop! You are killing her! Let her go!” I screamed, gathering myself from the water and lunging at him. He turned to look at me as I held on to his big arm and pulled it away from Serena's neck.
“It's not worth it, I promise!” I yelled hitting his arm, I turned to look at Serena, her eyes were full of fear, it gripped her body as she struggled under silvio’s hand around her neck, she looked at me desperately as her eyes pleaded for mercy.
“I will kill anyone who lays a hand on you! I don't care who they are!” He said very coldly
“Silvio please…” I begged looking at him as tears dropped from my eyes and into the raging waves crashing at our feet.I saw his eyes relax from my touch and he let Serena go, Serena fell to her knees in the water and gasped rapidly for breathe,
“Are you okay?” I asked, touching her shoulder lightly, she shrugged it away with the little strength she had.“Silvio!Why did you do that? You almost killed her, she's a bitch!, bitches can't fight back, I thought you were a man Silvio but I guess what they say is true” Vincent started as he gathered himself and his weak back up from the water.
I saw Silvio's face change again, into pure rage.
I was terrified, I wondered what he would do next. “Tell me Mr Vincent vignette, what about me do they say is true?” He inquired as he put his left arm behind him, I saw him clutch something, and my intuition is never wrong.“I'm not afraid of you silvio, I have my men all over your island, the moment my heart rate starts dropping they will descend upon you and kill every last one of the insignificant rats who live in this slum!” I heard Vincent's baritone voice sound cold as he threatened silvio.
But Silvio didn't let that little insult come between him and his rage, he looked furious.
“You should be” he said calmly
“Be what?” Vincent asked looking around, he looked like he could jump out of his clothes at any moment. “Afraid, you should be very afraid of me, even I am afraid of myself sometimes” he replied bringing out the gun.“You can't kill me, you need me for this deal and you know it, look let's forget about this mishap, I really don't care about the bitch, she can fuck good though, but that's about it” he mentioned.
“That is not a good way to speak to a woman” silvio mentioned, he cooked his gun and Mr Vincent readjusted in his steps.
“Excuse me? Are you defending the bitch you just tried to kill, are you truly insane Silvio!” Mr Vincent asked.
The two men were opposite each other now and it was a standoff, I saw Vincent slowly reach behind him, I looked on at Silvio who had been blinded by rage.
“Silvio, please stop this, let's go” I called out to him, but he didn't turn, the gun he held was pointed at Mr Vincent's head .
I moved closer to him until I was standing i At the side. “Silvio!” I called out to him as I stood a few inches away from him before he killed anyone. He looked down at me, his now soft face took over his rage. “I need you to stop this please it's not worth it, he didn't do anything wrong” I retorted, Silvio laughed, for the first time I saw him grin from ear to ear.“Go on Vincent, tell this nice lady how we do business and why we need each other” I heard silvio say, Vincent hesitated before saying
“ women don't need to get involved, they just spend the money and don't care where it comes from” he grinned.
“They are just bitches, they are just entertainment, you throw them out when you are done” I looked at Vincent horrified that I had shook hands with this guy earlier .“you are just a mean old bastard” silvio said,”it's time you retire”
immediately, as he concluded his statement Vincent had grabbed my neck from behind and pointed a gun to my head. I feel a Strong metallic death coming.“ if I don't get my chopper down here to pick me up I'm 10 minutes, your bitch gets one in the head” Vincent announced.
“Silvio!” I cried as Vincent pulled me towards the sandy shore. “ you know, I've been curious about one thing,” Silvio asked, following Vincent's head around with his gun as he moved it behind My head.“ I have eyes everywhere, so how exactly did you know I was on this particular island? No one knows I'm here and I never gave you the location for the meet” he inquired.
Mr Vincent was hesitant before he started muttering gibberish, I looked at Serena who had been trying to signal me, she put her arm Close to her mouth and made a biting expression, and it hit me.
I waited for the right moment and then I bit his arm around my neck, I held on tight with my teeth until I drew blood.
He pushed me away and then Silvio took his shot.He didn't miss and Mr Vincent fell dead in the water, the blood oozed out his brain and into the eager, waiting waves
“We have a few minutes before they find out their boss is dead, we need to leave the island” Silvio said, fear shook my entire body, I glanced at Serena who threw me dagger eyes. I was cold and I felt dizzy, before I knew it my eyes were closing and I hit the water.When I opened my eyes I could hear the mechanical whirling of a chopper’s wings,
I sat up from where I laid and silvio turned to me.“you got Me worried love, you are in a chopper now, we left the island” silvio informed me.
I heaved a sigh of relief, I looked around and saw my sister wrapped and curled up in a corner.That's when it hit me, someone was missing!
“Fuck Silvio! We left Fiona behind!” I cried.
Mateo’s POV ~I watched her stir on the queen-sized bed, she sank deeper into the pillow, nozzled in her face and pulled it closer. I glanced at Julius who had cleared his throat but it seemed that she was one of those deep sleepers men complain about.I walked around the room as I watched her stir again, this time she spread herself across the big bed and snored gracefully. I walked to the other corner and intentionally let a vase crash to the floor, then sprung up immediately, she rubbed her eyes and looked around the room.“Ma... Mateo” she murmured, she looked around the room again and gasped, she put her hand over her mouth to stop her from screaming.“Sleep well, Fiona? I can tell you enjoyed every moment of it” I started sitting close to her on the bed, and she looked around again this time panic spread across her face.“Are you expecting anyone?” I asked again bringing out my gun and placing it on the bed, I watched her face freeze up at the sight of my handgun.“My father
Ariana’s pov~I never thought I would see this beautiful island again, Malta, her beautiful seas called to me, finally I'm home.The chopper landed on a private helipad, and Silvio helped me out of it. I looked around and breathed the sweet Maltese air.“Why Malta?” I asked, “We could have gone anywhere else,” I inquired taking the hand offered as he led me through the doors of the smart house, the door and light functioned automatically.“I had a feeling you wanted to come home, don't you miss it? He asked, pulling my arm close to him.“I do but I don't think my apartment is still there,” I said with a pout, nostalgic memories about my little apartment in Valletta almost brought tears to my eyes.“But isn't this the most obvious place anyone who knows me can find me?” I asked casually looking around and waiting for one of Mateo’s people to jump out from one of the white couches I was about to pass through.Silvio laughed. “I promise you no one knows you are here, this house belongs
ARIANA’S POV~I bled all the way to the hospital and I had never seen Silvio look this worried, I had to calm him down most of the drive, he yelled at his driver one too many times and I felt guilty for it.The pain had subsided by the time we reached the hospital but the blood didn't stop.Finally, I've lost it, my other child is gone? Am I even fit to be a mother?Maybe it's a good thing it's gone, being born to an asshole and uncaring father like Mateo would have ruined its life eventually.The nurses rushed over with a gurney the moment the car screeched into the Emergency room, I was wheeled in immediately.A few moments later the doctor came in, asked the basic questions and told me I needed to do another scan to check what was going on with me.I didn't want to pretend like everything was okay, I already knew that I'd lost my baby.“I already know I've lost it, just clean me up doctor I'd like to leave as soon as possible” I stated, Silvio took my hand in his. “Love, please le
Ariana poV~“Why the hell do you have my sister tied up Silvio!” I yelled running to her, he instantly pulled me back and held me down. “Let me go! You are hurting her!”“stop moving! You heard the doctor!” he yelled back, the sound of the chopper blades dominated everywhere making it hard to converse.I looked at Serena who had tears pouring down her face, she looked at me with fear in her eyes, I know I hated her but it hurt me to see her tied up like a goat being prepared for sacrifice.“Silvio please untie her, she doesn't deserve this” I pleaded, he was quiet, he looked at his second in command Marcus who still had the gun to her head.“I need to question her, she knows more than she’s letting on,” Silvio said, nodding at Marcus, Marcus put his gun away.“Silvio you are hurting her please free her hands, take that shit out of her mouth” I yelled.“Stop yelling! You are stressing the hell out of yourself!” he yelled back, holding me back as I tried to run to my sister again.“I wi
Mateo’s pov~“Ariana!” I yelled after her, shocked to hear her voice when we traced Dmitiri here. I yelled her name again as the chopper took off flying further away, she was almost in my grasp, Silvio that bastard, I will kill him for daring to take what belongs to me!“What was she doing here!” I turned to Julius, “we will find out” he answered turning to Alfredo, he pulled him close and whispered something to him before Alfredo turned and left.“We were chasing down Dimitri, we got solid information that he caught wind of Silvio in Malta” Julius responded. “I think he found out Silvio sent Igor to you, and now he is dead” he added.“I know this! I need to know how Ariana got involved! I want Silvio dead Julius! I want you to Drag his dead rotting flesh and drop it at my knees!”I was furious. I started pacing around the rooftop, I looked over the horizon and I saw the chopper up in the air flying further and further away.“She didn't look well! What did Silvio do to her? Did you
Mateo’s POV ~ “What the fuck happened? What are you doing in the middle of the damn ocean?” I inquired handing her my jacket to cover her exposed, shivering body.I watched as she sat on one of the seats and covered herself, her body soaked the seat and dripped to the floor.“Well?” I inquired, she looked at me before readjusting in her seat.“I was on the chopper with Silvio” she started, her voice shivering as she spoke, “he had me tied up, I got free and I jumped, I couldn't stay a second more with that murdering bastard” she added, I watched her body language as she spoke, her eyes turned red in fury as she mentioned the name of the man I wished to kill.“And Ariana?” I asked again, passing her a bottled water Alfredo gave to me, she hurriedly took it and gulped down its contents.“You need to get her away from Silvio, I saw him slip something in her drink” she mentioned.The words rang like church bells in my ears confirming what I already knew in my heart was true, Silvio was t
Ariana’s povExactly ten minutes later, Silvio was leading me through the hotel lobby, I saw Aleid shoot me a confused look, but I couldn't tell her anything.After all, I was just as confused too, then I saw her leave where she stood and walked towards us and stop us in our tracks.She had a gentle smile as she waved at me. “Are you checking out ma'am? I already have everything ready for the trip you asked for, to see the locals” she mentioned, looking at me intently as she spoke. I smiled before looking at Silvio, searching for answers to this question.“Let's see how it goes after tonight, excuse me” he replied, moving past her and walking out of the revolving door.We got to the Mercedes Benz the valet had brought up front, I stopped just after he smiled and opened the car door.“I'm not going Silvio if you and Mateo want to kill each other then go ahead and do so, but I don't want to be dragged into it, I want to stay at the hotel” I started, I watched his reaction, he clenched
