***LONDON’S POV***
I was having breakfast when Reaper and Sinner badge into the house, their eyes filled with fear as they peruse the space, once their eyes land on mine, I see the relax a little as they rush towards me.
“We need to leave now. There is a cabin at the other side of Sicily, Zane wants you and the girls there. Take Dante,” Sinner says and he stomps into the house.
I gentle deposit the ceramic mug down, steaming coffee still in it.
“Why? What is going on and where the fuck is Zane?” I demand frowning.
Lisa hands me baby Dante while she rushes upstairs to make a bag for him.
I had woken up to an empty side of the bed, and after the good sex I shared with Zane last night with his secrets leaking, I expected him to still be in bed with me when I wake up, but no, he was gone.
“We don’t have time to explain now, but I promise to tell you everything shortly,” Reaper mouths out.
A full scowl was evident on my face now as I spoke a sharp no to him.
“Why the fuck…” I trial my words when Don Russell, Alex and Rio hurries downstairs, all three men wearing black suits and a black cloak, giving them an air of mystery.
My stomach churns and I feel it deep in my bones that this is bad, whatever this is, I mean, whatever is going on with Zane is bad news.
“Do as the men tell you, London. You need to look after your son now,” Sinner bites out.
“No, I can’t when I don’t know what is going on,” I spit out fiercely.
“That or I will have to knock you out myself,” Don Russell says, his voice stern.
This is the first time he is raising his tone at me, and my eyes bulging in shock, I wonder how to warn him off.
Nodding, I look at the ladies and they all have little weekend bags with them.
“I’ve packed you a bag, we should leave,” Lisa says rushing down the fleet of stairs.
“Good. Sinner, you drive them, Reaper will look out behind you,” Rio says leading the way outside.
Fresh air warms my face and I am grateful for my hoodie, giving me some sort of warm. But then, I still feel extremely cold when I think that my man is somewhere, he could be anywhere.
“Did Zane ask you to move me away?” I demand holding my breath in front of the car.
“Just get in the car, please,” Sinner begs refusing to say anything else.
Hating this for him, I snarl and climb into the van behind Lisa.
She has Baby Dante now, trying to secure him in his car seat.
“He knows what he is doing, I promise,” I hear Alex says as he stares at me.
He better knows because I am about hurting him for going MIA on me and our son,” I blurt out.
“I will let him know you are mad at him,” he says politely, walking away.
I get into the seat and fasten my seatbelt, the ladies warm eyes get at me and they start making small conversations.
“I love the reserved houses though, I bet we will be able to have warm water to bath because my ones are freezing now,” Cecily shrieks out her attempt at bringing a conversation very much welcomed by the group.
“Yes. Also, if they have electricity, I would like to charge my phone, there is this Prada bag I will love my husband to buy for me,” Casey growls as she flashes her phone, showing it to us.
I don’t join in the conversation, what they fuck will I say? I barely know if my husband is alive or not.
Instincts get me mad and launching forward, I use all the strength I have to wrap both of my arms on Sinner’s neck and squeeze.
“Get off me, London, do you want us to have an accident?” he ask fighting to keep his cool on the road as he wades me off his neck.
“I am not letting you go until you tell me where is Zane and why he is making you evacuate us,” I bark out and he sways some more.
The ladies now have fear in their eyes and their voices are small when they beg me to be rational and let go of Sinner’s neck.
“Let him go, London, please,” Mia cries out, her face tinging with pink.
Sinner was now swaying into the road and out, and I know we risk being pulled aside by the police if that continues.
“Answer me, Sinner, goddamn it,” I cuss tightening my grip on his neck.
This time, he speaks up.
“Richie Antonov… I believe he had him and he is being tortured at this very moment,” Sinner says and I release my hold on his neck.
He shocks and coughs, all while his eyes not leaving the road.
Baby Dante is crying and Lisa is trying her best to comfort him.
All these sounds resonating in my head gives me a migraine and grabbing my head for a minute, I feel several sensations twirl in it.
“Zane confronted Richie Antonov? I thought he said he told him No for a meet up?” I ask fear thick in my voice.
“Well, yes, he did, but Zane Vincenzo is as stubborn as a mule, he wouldn’t take measures against Richie and because of some fucking honor, Zane thought he could trust Richie enough to walk into his building and have a talk with him, then walk back when he is done,” Sinner shoots out, anger evident in his voice.
So, Zane walked into the lion’s den then knowing he had almost zero percent possibilities of walking away free.
I should kill him for being they stupid if Richie doesn’t do that for me first.
“We have to go save him then. Reverse the car,” I blurt out.
“No. He asked me to take you and the ladies to somewhere secured,” Sinner says honestly.
