Drake’s POV
“Oh my God!
Drake!
Put it down!
Put it down, man. You don’t know what happened and you are not thinking straight.
You are going to kill him, man!
Put down the fucking gun!” Liam yelled continuously, trying to get me to stop. But I couldn’t hear a word of what he was saying, or maybe I did, who cares?
I refused to stop, I unlocked the safety switch of my gun, and while my boys tackled his guys outside, I sneaked in with my gun help in position, ready to face my brother or any other person that is involved in what is going on with my wife.
Mia…
I don’t know what I’ll do if anything ever happens to her. Why is she this stubborn, why won’t she just listen to me, why can’t she trust me?
I’ve tried to be the best man I can be, I’ve never done anything to push her away or to make her feel like she can’t talk to me. I’m always there for her and I fucking give her everything she needs. What I don’t get is why she never listens to me, and why she feels the need to lie to me and withhold vital information about what is going on around her. I think she is overlapping her boundaries. She has no idea what could have happened to her out there.
For crying out loud, what if they kill her, what if she is used to get to me, how on earth would I live with myself if my enemies get to her?
I was so angry when I got those pictures. It’s almost felt as if my bother has fulfilled his promise. The pain in my heart was making me pissed as well. I was so angry at Mia, and Riley, and the boys I asked to look after my woman!
She had asked them to lie to me, and they fucking listened to her. When I couldn’t reach any of them on phone, I had to search for their car and their phones by tracking it through the GPS. It took a few minutes before we got their location. That few minutes seemed like a few hours to me, the pain in my heart increased with every second.
My mind kept conjuring different scenarios, I kept trying to imagine what could be happening to her, and I wondered if she is still alive because I no longer know my brother, I don’t know what he is capable of anymore. If she rejects him, he could get furious and kill her. He doesn’t react well to rejection, even when he was still a good kid. Now that he is working on the instructions of a Russian maniac, I’m pretty sure that he would be too happy to kill her, just to get back at her and spite me as well.
We kept tracking them for almost fifteen minutes, and when we finally found them, we discovered that Riley was not alone like the picture suggest. He was in there with Loretta, and they had a few Russian thugs keeping watch outside the premises. It is a restaurant, and it is supposed to be rowdy, but it wasn’t. It was isolated and empty. There were only a few cars in the park lot, and there is no way we can sneak in without being seen.
It’s a good thing that we were out on a mission so we packed enough ammo in our cars. We attack them from the main entrance, we opened fire rapidly, taking out the guys keep watch outside the restaurant. I saw William lying on the floor a few miles away from the parking lot. There was a last lying beside him with her face to the ground.
My heart skipped a beat when I saw them from afar. She looks like Mia, they have the same hair, same skin tone and body. I could hear the sound of shooting as my boys got engaged in a gun fight with the Russians. I couldn’t concentrate anymore, I need to know who she is, and more importantly, I need to know if she is dead or alive. I felt cold all over, the fear of the unknown was making it harder for me to concentrate. I don’t know what I would do if anything ever happens to Mia. I would fucking go insane.
“Watch my six!
Cover me!” I yelled at Liam and the guys close to my position.
“Drake wait, watch out!” Liam called back to me as I ran towards the bodies. I did not listen to his warning until a bullet whizzed past my ear and another one grazed my thigh. I looked up and saw three of the Russian thugs, facing me squarely, with their weapon pointed in my direction. I didn’t need to be told twice, I need to give my boys the space they need to shoot back.
With me in their way, they couldn’t return fire, so I fell flat on the floor immediately, getting myself out of the crossfire and I rolled over and started shooting back at them, forcing them back as well. Two guys fell down dead while the last guy got hit in the knee. He ran back to take cover and nurse his injuries.
That gave me the opportunity to resume my mission, I got up and ran towards them, I could hear voices around me and I knew that my boys were coming behind me a well. Liam split the guys, he sent some of them to secure the premises and make sure we don’t get any surprises, the he led the rest of the guys as they followed me to the other end of the parking lot where l sighted the two bodies. This is why he is my second in command, he knows how to read my mood, he knows when I’m not in the right frame of mind to think straight. He doesn’t wait around to be ordered to do his job, he rakes charge of the mission, and he instructs the guys on what to do. He thinks and makes decisions like me, so I’m not bothered that he will make a mistake and get us all killed, I know what he can do and I trust his judgement always.
“Holy Fuck!
Oh, Shit!” I cursed out loudly when I saw the face of the girl lying besides William. It’s Mia’s sister Carrie, the playful, jovial Carrie that lives a carefree life. I heaved a sigh of relief when I confirmed that it was Carrie and not my Mia. I would have gone mad with anger if it had been Mia. Don’t get me wrong, this is also bad, and I feel so sad about this. She shouldn’t be treated like trash, she should not be lying on the floor like a fucking whore.
“What is she doing here as well, how did she get here, and why the fuck would she get involved in this drama?” I thought within me as I checked her thoroughly to see if she had a pulse. There was no pulse, I couldn’t feel it on her veins, and when I leaned down to check if she was breathing, I found myself yelling in anger because she wasn’t breathing anymore.
She is dead…
“I’ll kill him!
I’ll fucking kill that idiot!” I yelled out in frustration. She is not supposed to die this way, I’ve failed her and I’ve failed my father as well. He put me in charge of the company because he trusts in my capability. I married Mia because her father wanted our family to use our numerous resources to look out for his girls and protect them. They are supposed to be under my protection, and now one of them is dead, and the other one is still missing.
“If Riley could do this to Carrie, then what is the fate of my mate?”
That is the only question on my mind right now. Carrie was only minding her business and living her best life. She has no issues with him, and as far as I know, they have never been a confrontation between the two of them. The only connection they had is Mia, and after his relationship with Mia ended, they had no connection anymore. I’m guessing that the only reason why she would come here is because of Mia.
Her sister must have dragged her along with her, just the way she had dragged her to the club the other night. Who would have ever thought that Riley would have her killed?
“Boss, we found them, we found your brother and your wife. They are in the restaurant, and your wife is lying on the floor. She is either unconscious or dead. I can’t tell if she is dead or alive boss, you need to hurry, your brother is trying to take off her clothes. What the hell is wrong with him?” he let out furiously, before ending the connection. I guess he didn’t mean to say that out loud, it just slipped from his mouth.
Who would blame him, I also have the same question in my mind, I can’t believe that Riley could be this obsessed with her body, I can’t believe that he would rape her even as she is unconscious. Did he lose his senses at some point in life, how did we fail to notice that he is a fucking psychopath?”
I left Carrie lying out there in the open, I can’t focus on my grief for her when I still don’t know if her sister is dead or alive. I’m going to make him pay for what he has done today, I don’t fucking care if Mia is still alive or dead, I’ll still make him pay for killing this innocent girl.
“Where are you?” I asked the guy who just told me that Mia and Riley are still inside. I need to confirm his location so I can see what is happening inside. I can’t just go running in, not when I’m not sure what I’ll be meeting when I get inside. He directed me to where he was hiding by window. I took off from where I was and ran straight to his location. And I confirmed the report he just gave me.
It’s true…
Its really true…
I saw Riley, standing over Mia’s unconscious body, caressing her. He is sporting a hard-on, and his hands were all over her, squeezing her boobs. Her clothes were off, she is wearing only lingerie, the same lingerie she was wearing as we made love this afternoon. He leaned down and started kissing her, smooching her boobs and moaning alone as he did it.
“How do you fuck an unconscious woman, like, how crazy is that?” I thought within me. This is wrong, in every sense of the word. I can never unsee this, I just can’t believe that he would try to do this to a girl he claim that he loves.
He is insane!
That fact is for sure. But that is not an excuse for all the things he did today. I’m going to make him pay for this. I’ll make sure of that, glue can’t escape my wrath, not this this time. He has gone overboard this time.
I counted four Russians standing around, keeping watch. There were some hostages huddled up in the corner, I guess that is why they are so bold. They think I won’t come in because of the hostages, they think I would turn away to save all those lives. As if?
If only they know that I don’t give a fuck about those people, I only need my woman. They can be casualties of war for all I care.
And Loretta is there as well…
That sick bitch!
She stood by the corner recording all this, I felt do repulsed by her actions. How do you stand and watch them hurt a girl you used to be friends with, do you live with yourself after this, how do you even sleep at night?
“We are moving in, kill everyone with a gun, but take Loretta alive, I need some information from her.
