“Please,” Ella whispers. Her eyes drop to the floor. “You need to leave, or they will kill you.”
“I’m going to get you out of here.”
Her lashes lift and I see the tears in her beautiful blue eyes. “It’s too late for me.”
“Don’t you say that, you hear me. Because I will not stop until you and your sister are safe.”
“I’m sorry I lied to you,” she says softly.
“I don’t care about that. I understand why you did. None of it matters, okay. Come with me. You don’t have to stay here.”
Luca clears his throat. “That’s all very chivalrous and romantic. But you’re not the one calling the shots here. The only reason you’re not dead right now is because I’m not in the mood to fight the MC today. But tomorrow, it might be a different story, so I suggest you take the chance to ride away while you can. Alone.”
“Please go,” Ella begs. Her voice softly pleading. Her eyes violently begging me to walk away.
I’ve never been the guy to walk away when I could stand and fight.
But I know the best way to fight this is with backup. Unloading my clip into Luca’s face will probably get us both killed.
“Oh, for fuck’s sake.” Luca reappears at the door looking impatient. “You’ve heard my sister. It’s too late for her. Save yourself. They’ll kill you. Blah blah blah. I’m bored, so if we could move this along, please.” He pulls out a gun and points it at my face. “Or I might just put an end to it myself.”
I don’t flinch. I don’t hesitate. I don’t show him a second of fear. Because I don’t feel any fear for myself. Even with a gun pointed in my face.
I stare at him with a dead expression. “Pull that trigger and my club will find you, cut you into tiny pieces, and sink you to the bottom of the ocean. But don’t worry, the authorities will find your head. With your cock shoved down your throat.”
Luca’s expression changes in an instant, and he turns into a child who’s had his toy taken from him.
“You will show me the respect I deserve,” he screams. “Now get the fuck off my doorstep before I kill you.”
Across the foyer, Viktor clears his throat, and it’s enough to calm Luca’s tantrum before it escalates any further.
Luca glares at his sister. “Get rid of him, or so help me God, I will kill everyone.”
I look at Ella. My hands are tied.
“Please,” she begs. “You have to go.”
And without waiting for a response, she closes the door.
Every inch of me wants to stay and fight, and I have to force myself down the front steps and over to my bike. Because if I didn’t go, and Ella and her sister got hurt in whatever happened next, I would never forgive myself.
No, right now, I have to play my hand the correct way, and that means riding away from here to regroup with the Knights and figure out how I’m going to save the girl I’m in love with.
It kills me, but I climb on my bike and tear out of the Moretti estate at breakneck speed, vowing to bring hell to Luca and Viktor’s doorsteps for what they have done.
CHAPTER 60
Ella
The moment I close the door, I know my fate is sealed. And for a split second I remember what it felt like to be warm and safe in Lars’s arms, and my heart is grateful to have known what it was like to be loved, but I know I will never feel it again. Because today I am going to die.
I only pray Lars doesn’t die too.
The door clicks shut and Luca nods to Viktor. A cruel smile slides across his thin lips as he tightens his grip in Lucretia’s hair and starts to drag her away. She cries out and struggles against him.
“No, stop.” I scream. “Don’t touch her. Let her go.”
But he ignores me and yanks her down the hallway, her screams fading as they disappear out of view.
I turn to Luca. “Luca, please stop this. Where is he taking her?”
Luca’s eyes gleam with malice and excitement as he takes two predatory steps toward me. “Wherever he wants to.”
“Please, no,” I cry.
“I promised him virgin pussy. He’s going to get virgin pussy.”
I make a run for it, but Luca grabs me before I can make any distance between us, and throws me against the closed front door, knocking the air from my lungs.
I hear the sound of a car door and an engine starting. Please no. Viktor could be taking her anywhere and I might never find her.
My knees buckle at the thought.
Rage and fear collide inside of me. “You piece of shit. What have you done?”
Luca grabs me by the chin. “When the fuck are you going to learn that I can do whatever the fuck I want? I am the don of the Moretti Mafia.”
