*DRAVEN*“How the fuck is this possible?” I shouted, the expensive glass crashing against the wall, the shattering sound reverberating through the men standing before me. They flinched and almost instinctively took a step back.They feared me but of course this much wasn’t enough.Taking out my gun I shot the person who had just informed me about their failure.It's almost going to be a week soon and they still haven’t found Silia. It seemed like being with Silia had made me a little more amiable and tolerable. They must have forgotten who I was before she had come along and what a monster I became when she was gone. This would teach them to know how important she was for their own safety.The bullet didn’t make a noise because of the silencer but once he fell down and blood seeped through his clothes the rest of the men rose up in a chant for mercy and forgiveness.“If you don’t want to end up like him then go and search for her! Don’t dare come back until you have find her or at lea
*DRAVEN*“I am sorry but we had to pull our men back,” Alfeo said as soon as we reached there.“What happened here?” I asked, slamming the door in frustration, understanding well enough that even though we had got the place right, we had been a little late.Smoke rose up from different directions and when I took a few steps closer I could see that the entirety of one side of the mansion had been blown up with bricks fallen here and there. There were bodies strewn here and there like logs. Crumbled walls with fires still burning in a few places.“Wear this, the police and reporters will get here soon,” Diana said, bringing a cap and a set of sunglasses for me, making me notice only then that they had worn their own too with masks. Putting on the items along with a mask that I carried with myself.The police weren’t there yet and neither was the media but there were people crowding around the area chattering and watching while I recognized a few men of The Ravens hiding and lingering in
*SILIA*When I came back to my senses I found myself in a room that distinctively looked like a motel. I couldn’t be very sure though and so staying put I pulled myself up into a sitting position only for the door to open with a bang and make my heart jump out of my mouth as I slipped back down.“Finally you are awake,” Luca said with a smile as he locked the door behind him and rushed up to me and sat down on the edge of the bed, “Are you feeling better?”I was disappointed when I saw his face, hoping that it had only been a dream when I had thought it was him that had come to save me. I really wished that it was Draven.“Yes but I still feel queasy,” I said, making him get up and give me some bottled water to drink. I know I shouldn’t trust what he gave me but he looked really relieved to see me awake and I was thirsty.“You scared me when you fainted like that,” he mumbled, taking the bottle from me when I was done drinking.“Is Lily alright?” I asked, my voice feeble from the exha
*DRAVEN*“Is she really here?” I asked as soon as I reached Alfeo who I had sent to check out a site while I had gone to look into another one.“Yeah you were right about it. They didn’t bring many men here, only two guarding the front and one in the back,” Alfeo said pointing to the two men sitting outside the motel with cigars in their hand.“What about the situation inside?” I asked noting that because of the sudden attack from Fedelta it had become easier to infiltrate and save Silia now.“I don’t know about that but from what I learned the whole second floor had been bought by a single person so that must be where he kept Silia,” he said and I nodded looking at all the covered windows of the second floor.“Alright we’ll take the back gate, it isn't going to be that hard to get in,” I said, making him follow me and round the motel where we found a single guy drinking through his flask while ogling something on his phone.“Do you want me to take him down?” Alfeo asked and nodding a
*SILIA*“I can’t believe you did this to the right hand man of The Ravens!” Diana laughed as we walked through the secret training base for the Mafia under the Calix building.“That asshole had it coming his way when he dared to kidnap me but he really messed with me when he forcefully kissed me,” I muttered remembering the kiss with an acrid and distasteful feel in my mouth.“Honestly I am also a little astonished that Draven let you do this,” she said as I led her through the corridor and to where Luca had been captured and kept.“Oh he was alright with it,” I said, hiding a smile as I recalled the intense love making we had done after the twenty minutes of crying I had done when he had brought me back home with him. He hadn’t just been alright with my decision of course he was really jealous, possessive and protective about the whole debacle and with the perpetrator still breathing alive in his own building he was a lot on edge than I would have liked.But he had turned that energy
*SILIA*“What was that just now?” Draven asked, looking slightly dazed as we took the elevator up to his office.“Just a little mental torture,” I said smiling at him. “He hadn’t hurt me physically as much as he did mentally every time that he touched me or tried to brainwash me into loving him.”I didn’t realize but a frown had taken over on its own and seeing that Draven said, “Let me overwrite that memory.”Pushing me against the cold walls of the elevator he kissed me. I fought for control, my body turning hot at his touch. After staying away from him for so long it was as if every time that he touched me he was quenching a thirst in my body.Our tongues slid against each other, gently caressing, massaging and sucking. I wanted to take control again like how I did before but as soon as he realized what I was doing he brought his hand down to my thigh and gripped it, making me gasp at how close he was to my crotch. He then pushed a knee gently against my excited entrance, leaving i
*SILIA*“Only ten days are left,” Gavin said, making all of us sigh in frustration.“That's too little time and we still don’t have any clue about where Romani might be,” Nick mumbled, having joined the Mafia unable to stay away from this life after getting so deep into it once again.“No we don’t give up hope here, we can still turn the situation around, we just need to think from another perspective,” Diana said, making me nod along but if truth be said even I was losing confidence with how little time we had left.“If it makes anyone feel good then at least the Ravens aren’t in any position to even care about this game when they are already so deep in their own troubles,” Alfeo said, making me nod along.“Not to forget that the Phantoms don’t seem to have any clue about Romani too, although they have become more frantic in their searches,” I said, frowning near the end.No matter what anybody said or did it was clear that we were all on the edge with how close we were to winning an
*SILIA*“Yes! She was right about it,” Gavin shouted barging in through the door with Nick trailing behind him. The two of them looked really spent and when I was about to ask Nick what happened but he put up a hand before me to stop me from speaking.“My eyes have been fried from staring at a screen for around thirty six hours now and I fear that if I even blink it shut it isn’t going to open anymore,” he said and then mumbled under his breath, “That's why I hate Mafias.”“So what did you find?” Draven asked and the rest of us huddled closer to his laptop that he had brought with him.“So far we have learnt about a small vineyard that is very exclusive and is situated on the island called Martha’s Vineyard. It is registered under another woman’s name so it was hard for us to track it down but we finally did. The label vine that it makes there is called, ‘Dives Uvae’ which also means rich grapes in Latin.”“A silly name if you ask me,” Alfeo muttered in between to which Diana laughed
