CHAPTER 67
With no say in what was happening as Don Massimo had already made up his mind to go with Elena, Angelo stood with a broken heart and watched from a distance as Elena was helped into the car and was taken away.
“The faster we get her home, the faster her treatment will commence.” Don Massimo said with a wink. ” Take care, son. Go find your sister. I’ll be waiting at home for you.” Don Massimo said to a destabilized Angelo before turning to some of his men.
“I’ll leave these few men with you. Work with them and in less than 24 hours, I want her home. Do you understand me, Angelo?”
“Yes, I do.” Angelo finally responded with a depressed sigh before Don Massimo walked away.
He didn’t have to be so downcast. If he came back home with his sister, Eva, then Don Massimo will release Elena back to him. M he needed to do was to find Eva and all would be well.
“What are you waiting for? Get in let’s go bring back Eva.” He screamed at the guards as they all entered the nearest car they could find while he retreated to his own personal car.
“Let’s go!” He charged his driver and leaned back in determination. He was going to find his foster sister no matter what.
*****
Back at Klaus Lair, Eva kept tugging at the chains that held her hands bound furiously. Hoping that her anger would miraculously break some place and she would be free but they still held her bound, just the way he had left her.
Even if she managed to escape the chains, this secluded room wasn’t one that someone could escape from. Where would she run to? How would she climb down the window of this tall building? That would mean death.
Minutes later, Angelo and his men arrived the Klaus Lair which was heavily guarded with armed guards.
With his truck load of men, both from his lair and those of Don Massimo, Angelo stepped down from the car with his entourage and he knew storming the place would not be a bad idea for them as they were more in number.
With his men following behind, he strolled to the front of the gate and met face to face with the head guards.
” Where is your boss?” He asked in a tone that meant business as he poured the spoke from his pipe on the guards face, but there was no response as the guy just stood there facing him squarely.
“I’ll assume he ain’t around, because of he was, I’m sure he would’ve stuck out his cursed face by now.” Angelo said to the guard again.
“I’ll advice you to leave before something you don’t like happens.” The head guard threatened and Angelo smiled at him and whispered.
“It is too late.”
Then he turned to his crowd of men which included Don Massimo’s men.
“Raid this house and bring Eva out. Don’t come out until you find her.” He growled at them and before his last word was out of his mouth, they barged into Klaus Lair.
Angelo watched with a smile as his men subdued all the guards as they were obviously more in number. Guns rained their shots the area as the power struggle went on.
Klaus men fell one by one, even when they were few, they still fought back, with all they had. Refusing to give up the fight even in the face of defeat. That was the believe of a true guard and warrior.
It didn’t take long, Angelo’s men were inside the building within a twinkle of an eye. No matter how Kalis men fought them off, they still raided every room and scattered everywhere looking for Eva.
It wasn’t long before they found her, as she was smart enough to know they had come for her and had begun to scream as loud as her voice could allow her.
Even when two of the guards came in to shut her mouth, she did not relent as she kept screaming and hitting anything she could find so that the sound may be heard.
“Miss Eva?” The guards called and when no sound was heard, they broke through the door like they did the others and the two guards that were stopping her from making a sound was shot dead.
“Miss Eva. Are you okay?” The guards asked and she nodded as they found her clothes for her to put them back on.
“Who brought you guys? My dad? Is my dad here?” She asked excitedly.
“No, we came with Angelo.”
“Is Angelo here? Angelo!” She exclaimed and ran out of the room, without giving a care if a guard was out there.
“Hold on Miss Eva, let’s walk in front of you. Miss Eva!” The guards kept calling and running after her, shooting whosoever stood in her way or tried to react to her.
Dead bodies lined the floor as Eva ran out to meet Angelo. She found him outside leaning on one of the cars and looking at the building waiting. And when he saw her, he sighed in relief And smiled back as she walked briskly towards him.
“Hey! Look at you! Looks like they were feeding you there.” He teased and tried to talk to her but she was busy looking inside the car.
“What is it? Who are you looking for?” Angelo asked her.
“Elena! Where is Elena? I figured out that if you were here then she would be here with you too.”
” Oh! She isn’t here.” Angelo responded simply.
” Okay! I was so excited at the thought of seeing her that I ran out that way.” She hissed.
” What?” Angelo was surprised.
” You ran down here just to see Elena?” He asked her again and she nodded.
“That’s really heartbreaking. Let me take you to dad first, after that you’ll see Elena.”
” No! I want to see Elena first. Is she okay? Did something happen to her? ”
” Elena is fine. let’s go to dad first. Elena is with dad. “
