(One Month Later…)
It seemed like Olsen never cared about the safety of Freya any more, giving Vincenzo chances to keep hurting her the most. Olsen's hesitation to surrender himself had gotten Vincenzo to the point that each passing time he looked at Freya, he had a thousand reasons to make her suffer for the sake of her brother.
He made sure she never left the cell until he said so. And even when she did leave the cell, he interrogated her with questions. What annoys him the more is the fact that he wasn't getting the answer he needed from her.
Despite having such a heartless brother like Olsen, the only thing Freya couldn't do is to expose his hiding place to any one. She knew even if she had to tell Vincenzo, it wouldn't make her free from his nest. She has heard a lot about mafia's, they aren't the easy going type of people.
Speaking out of experience, Olsen wasn't soft when it comes to revenge. He takes life like it didn't matter. He hunts life and slaughters humans like animals. The one that happened right before her eyes, Olsen pulled the trigger, blowing off the head of his victim. He had asked her to close her eyes but she had them opened, sending the victim to his early grave.
She refused to talk to him for two days after the incident. It was then he explained to her what he does for a living. Learning he is a gangster was the most difficult thing for Freya. But what keeps surprising her is the fact that she found it difficult to tell Vincenzo a shit about where Olsen stays.
"I'm gonna ask you for the last time, Miss Bred, where does your brother stay?"
Tears had already stained her face, he wasn't only interrogating her, he was threatening her. He was likewise torturing her, but she knew she had to endure every thing. "I already told you, asshole… I don't know any thing." He landed a resounding slap on her cheeks.
"You still haven't learned, have you?"
Freya chuckled which eventually turned to laughter. Vincenzo stared at her disgustedly. "What the fuck is funny, huh?"
"You are. You are funny, Mr Vincenzo Ferdinando." She said, mentioning his name in full. "Do you think you can win by threatening me? What makes you think that my brother will surrender to you?" She scoffed. "It's already a month now, and yet Olsen hasn't shown up, do you still think he will?"
He pulls her head, dragging her close to him. She groaned painfully, holding the lower part of her hair to ease the pain. "Of course, he will. Maybe I haven't gone so far with you that's why he takes me for granted. After I am done with you, I will make sure he watches every single video of how I make your life miserable. After I am done with you, and after I have taken your life away, I won't stop hunting him until I find him."
"Trust me, you won't find him. Where he is, not even your silly tracking machine can find him."
He smirked evilly. "Now I see, there's some thing you're not telling me. But don't worry, I'm gonna get it out from your mouth."
He lets go of her hair, looking at the guard who is in charge of torture. "Don't stop until she spits the words out. I need an answer before night falls." He ordered.
He looked at Freya who was now shaking in fear. "We'll see who is smarter now." He walked out of the room, leaving Freya in the hands of the not-so-friendly looking guard.
He dragged her to sit on the metal chair, locking her both hands and feet. Freya screamed for help, but the thick walls of the room made it impossible for some one outside to hear her voice.
"Where is he?" Asked the guard. "Where does he stay?"
"Fuck you!"
He covered her face with a cloth, pouring water into her mouth. He stopped, taking off the cloth from her face. "I'm gonna ask you again, where is Olsen hiding?"
"Fuck… you."
Again, he covered her face, pouring a large amount of water in her mouth. She was shaking as he kept pouring her water. He finally stopped, her face had turned dark red. She coughed, spitting out water from her mouth.
"Still won't talk?"
"Wait. Wait, I'll talk. Just don't… don't continue again."
"Where is he?" He asked again.
She was breathing heavily, trying to catch her lost breath. "He's… He's…. He's presently in your home, pointing his goddamn gun at your family. And he's waiting for you to walk out of that door before he pulls the trigger right on their heads. That's where he is, asshole."
He didn't find it quite funny, he pulls the cloth on her face, pouring water into her mouth. And when he saw she wasn't going to talk, he kept pouring until she had taken so much water. She passed out.
She was woken by the splash of water on her face. She coughed a large amount of water out of her mouth and she was surprised to see herself alive. She had almost thought she was dead. She looked at her both hands, they were still locked to the metal chair.
Vincenzo stood by the dark corner of the room, his both hands fused into his pockets. "You really are stubborn, I'd admit. You still won't confess where Olsen is?"
"You should just kill me already, I'm not saying a shit." She said as a matter of fact.
Vincenzo walked to her side, the lamp above her head illuminated on his face. He looked dead-killing with his dark eyes down on her. "Why? Why would you be so tough to defend some one who has already forsaken you?"
"Because I know Olsen, he's gonna come back for me."
"And what makes you think he'll walk out from here alive?"
Now that was a question Freya couldn't give an answer to.
Freya had been up since 3 am, tiredness heavy in her eyes as she attempted to soothe her crying twins. No matter what she tried, it seemed impossible to lure them back to sleep. She had already breastfed them, changed their diapers, and rocked them for what felt like hours. Yet, the unfading cries continued. It had been nearly a week of sleepless nights, and her patience was wearing thin. She was bothered their cries would wake the neighbors, or cause the maids and servants from sleeping.The clock on the wall taunted her as the minutes dragged on. The twins, Vicente and Olsen, were only a few months old, and Freya's motherly instincts were struggling to keep up with their demands. She whispered soothing words to them, tears of tiredness welling up in her eyes. She was sleep-deprived and emotionally drained, and it felt like there was no end in sight.Thankfully, Vincenzo had always been a rock of support through these trying times. He woke up with her every night, offering a shoul
"Vincenzo?" "Hey baby, how are you feeling?” Vincenzo asked.Freya sits next to Vincenzo, while holding her big tummy. He is rubbing Vincenzo's back, because he knows his back pain is killing him but still refuses to stay at home. "Can't sleep baby? Are you alright?” Vincenzo asked, worrying because Freya's face shows pain. "I don’t know but my tummy is hard rock. Feel it....bmammm...” Freya is holding a grunt. Vincenzo placed her hand on the baby tummy as Freya said. It is hard rock and it's not normal. Vincenzo is watching her sternly, aware of the situation, and he's getting ready to jump on any situation. "Get me a wheelchair now!” Vincenzo said to Myra through the intercom. After a few seconds, she barged right in with the requested chair. Damon signaled Myra to help him to pick up Freya on the chair. They rushed him to the hospital. —"Mr. Ferdinando, please follow me.’ A nurse came out, asking him to follow her. Vincenzo just did as told and soon he found himself in
Freya walked down the aisle like a stately queen, arm in arm with Pablo. Her hair was arranged into an elaborate style on top of her head, and her pink ballroom dress swished almost silently on the carpet aisle. It was a glorious day for a wedding. The trees were a perfect green and sparkled with leftover dew from that morning. A perfect June day. A song ran through her mind, making her smile. For they say when you’re married in June, you will always, always, always be a bride! She watched the young bride sprinkling the last pink rose petals on the aisle, then sitting down. She then looked at her bridesmaids dressed in flowing, scarlet, knee-length dresses. They were all there smiling… Her eyes met with Myra, who was putting on the brightest smile. She was her chief bridesmaid. “Congratulations.” She mouthed.“Thank you.” Freya mouthed back, her cheeks burning with a smile.The priest then started with the matrimonial vows as she stood face to face with Vincenzo, he was appearin
"Congratulations, Miss Bred, you're two weeks pregnant."The words kept resounding in her head. Happiness filled her inside, she couldn't wait until Vincenzo returned. She had wanted to phone him to tell him the good news, but then she wanted it to be an official announcement.When she returned home, she asked for Myra who was pretty busy in the laundry room. However, she sent a maid to call her."Tell her to meet me in my room." I said,Just as she walked into her room, changing her clothes, Myra offered a knock on the door."Please, come in." She permitted.Myra entered. "You sent for me." She said, "Yes, please. I have something interesting to show you. You'll love it, trust me."Myra was already curious to know what this interesting thing would be. "Okay. I'm waiting."Freya took her bag from where she had kept it, she opened it and brought out the white folded paper, handing it to Myra who at first, gave her a curious look."I hope I am safe?""Of course, you are." Freya smiled.
Freya had woken up earlier than usual. She was ready for the day's training. She looked at Vincenzo who was still asleep on the bed, his back facing her.For the first time, she took her time to admire the Lion tattoo on his back, they were fucking beautiful.After a long while of admiration, she went to the bathroom for a shower. Before she was out, Vincenzo was up. He looked at her, his eyes halfway open from sleep."Where are you going?" He asked, yawning."Do I have to remind you where I am going?" She asked back as she pulled her trouser up to her waist."Oh." His eyes closed. "I'll talk to the driver to take you to the warehouse then.""You seem tired, how was work yesterday?" She asked, her hands hung on her waist."Just the usual. I'll be fine." He assured her.She was done dressing, now ready to go. "I'll give you a call when I reach the warehouse." He nodded his head. "Just take your time and relax, you can skip work today.""I have an important meeting with a colleague, I c
"I might not make it here on time, so I'll talk to Stephen to take you home after the training. But just in case I make it on time, I'll pick you up myself.""Okay. Just take your time and do whatever you want to do. I'll be fine.""You be a good girl, okay? Pay attention, I know it's gonna seem a bit difficult but trust me, you'll live it when you learn it.""I know. Thanks for accepting me as a part of your group, I will make you proud. I promise." She promised."Take care of yourself.""You too." They shared a kiss before she left, waving goodbye at him. He did the same before zooming off for work.When Freya arrived at the business warehouse, her heart pounded in excitement. It feels more like a dream come true, a moment she's been waiting for a long time ago. She knew that this training session would be different, more intense and probably be the best she'd ever had. Since Vincenzo has promised to introduce her to the world of firearms, a skill she knew she needed to master to s
