Zoey p. o. v
It was silence between us after Roman instructed his men to prepare to transport us from here, the wait and anticipation was draining.
“Boss, the van is ready.” One of Roman’s men informed him.
Having no clue where you are at and where you been taking to is scary enough.
“Good.” Roman nods, he has been restless. Glancing at the wristwatch on his wrist, “Get them out of here.” He instructed making his way to the entrance.
Aside from Roman who looked nothing close to be in the mafia, the rest of his team was different, these men doesn’t seem like a gang.
like some random criminals picked up by him to form his own team, they lack the unity Marco’s men has.
I saw Camilla cowered back into her seat, as she was approached first. My heart raced with fear, these men are rough as the unchained us. I tried to buy time for Marco to get here, if they succeeded in transporting us to another location then it would be a difficult task for Marco then.
“I need to use the restroom.” My voice quavered an attempt to come out as helpless and frightened.
The man bringing us hissed in irritation, “We don’t have time for that.”
“Let her, we don’t want her delaying us further.” Roman surprisingly fell for my trick.
He must be confident about his ability and mission, he maybe thinking that since Marco is out of the way. It will be easy to deal with us, what he forgot is that before Marco come to power there was someone in that position. Someone who taught Marco everything he knew about the mafia world.
The same person that built everything the Alfonso family has, Vincenzo Alfonso and his brothers, Dario and Dante Alfonso. With them around the Alfonso family can never be defenseless.
“Hurry up, we don’t have all day to wait on you.” The man growls from outside the restroom.
I ignored him, buying as much time as I could even though it won’t be much. I’m at a disadvantage, been pregnant has limited my movement as much as possible resource, there’s a limit to what I can do right now.
“Get the fuck out, you don’t want me to drag you out.” He his for the fourth time, I sighed and came out. “Took your sweet time in there bitch.”
We joined the others, mom and aunt Tricia came to my side. Holding me close to them, and rubbing on my back comfortingly.
“They didn’t hurt you, did they?” Mom whispered to me, stroking my hair as we moved.
“No, I’m fine.” my hand went over to my tummy rubbing it, I don’t want any harm to come to it.
“Don’t worry, no harm will come near it while we are here.” Aunt Tricia reassured referring to my baby.
I nod with a tight smile, just as we near the entrance a commotion erupted. Everyone of us stopped, shouts and scuffles filled the air.
Adrenaline rush through my veins, my heart beating rapidly. I wonder if Marco has finally arrived, I didn’t have to wonder for long as the door flew with a great force.
Two of Roman’s men fell through the broken door and lands few steps before us. They didn’t struggle nor made any signs of movement, they lay flat on the floor lifeless.
“Fucking bastards.” Roman hissed angrily, His eyes turned red and frightening. His demeanor has went to a whole new level, his fists shook just as the rest of his body. “Get them back to position.” He growl at his men.
His men quickly took us back to our previous positions, bonding everyone with the chains and electric except me.
“Why aren’t you coming in since you had the balls to show up here.” Roman yelled furiously at whoever it was that ruin their plans.
“Your invitation is intriguing, but we are not here for that.” The voice that spoke sounds oddly familiar, but definitely not Marco’s.
I would recognise Marco’s voice even in my sleep, then whose voice is this? We weren’t able to see who can as they remained outside, from our view.
“My job here is to stop you from leaving, the one who will accept your invitation is coming.” He spoke again, and this time it clicked. Uncle Dario.
It seems like Mom, Aunt Tricia and the rest has recognised the voice before I did. The relief expressions on their faces proved it.
Even I am relieved, if uncle Dario is here that means Marco isn’t far behind.
“Do I know like I have the time to wait for your shit?” Roman replied clearly losing his patience.
“You won’t be waiting for long, he will be here.” It Luciano playful voice came. ” And there he is.”
The loud sound of cars approaching reach my ear.
Marco is here.
