Chapter 94
Leonardo De Luca
I narrowed my eyes as he approached Alfonso, “Landon.” He nods sharply.
Landon stops and sizes him up for a second and I held onto my breath. “Alfonso He potentiall
in response. “This shithole is what you thought had
Alfonso straightened his sleeve. “You’ve been here what, all of three seconds? I’m the one who started his clubs from literally nothing. This place has a lot of potential. It needs some work done on it all right but I see the vision”
Theard a cold
old laugh and I wasn’t surprised. Landon is just a cold motherfucker.
“Right.” He nods. Landon’s eyes dart around the large room, across the boxes. When he looked in my direction. 1 ducked just in time.
“Well, if you say so. Alfonso.
I don’t know if it’s the way he sounded but something doesn’t sit well with me. My head moves out slowly to take a look at them again. We were only waiting for Alfonso’s word before bouncing on him.
“Would you like a tour?” Alfonso suggests, his arm gesturing to the rest of the warehouse.
Landon grunts in response. “This place looks like it’s going to fall over at any second. Where did you find this place?”
“Online,” Alfonso said shortly
I watched as Landon walked around Alfonso and glanced at the walls, hands tucked behind his back. I keep my eyes focused on Alfonso. Any second now, he should say the signal for us to move in.
Blood roars in my ears. Landon is so fucking close and I just want to blow his damn head off.
“Landon, I already run a successful club. You know we would make good business partners.”
All of a sudden, the warehouse comes alive. My gun is drawn along with twenty other people in the room including Russo as we point and aim at Landon who’s now glancing frantically at us.
Alfonso also has his gun drawn, aimed straight down between Landon’s eyes. “Rut not good enough I guess Alfonso spits.
Then suddenly, Landon starts laughing, surprising all of us. I tried my hardest not to pull the trigger but I just knew something g wasn’t right so I told myself to hold off
He dramatically wiped fake tears from his eyes and I could already tell that Alfonso was beginning to get agitated. This wasn’t the plan and he’s beginning to look like the fool.
“You think you’re smart, Alfonso but you’re way too predictable.” Landon cases his laughter and returns to that cold and gloomy voice. “Oh, I suspected what you were planning. I knew you might try something as dumb as this but I didn’t think you’d go through with it,”
Alfonso growls in his direction. “You’re dead. Landon”
Alfonso began to squeeze the trigger when Landon began to tutor. “You don’t want to do that”
“And why the fuck not?”
don’s face makes my blood run cold.
The smile on Landon’s i
Landon turns his head and locates my eyes within seconds, “Ah, Leonardo!” He throws up his hands in the air. “I knew you’d be here with your sidekick
Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Russo quirked an eyebrow in my direction but he didn’t look away from our target. I resisted the urge to spurt some insults at himn
Alfonso prods the gun against Landor’s temple. “Again, I wouldn’t do that” Landon spat
Alfonso jabbed the gun to the side of Landon’s head and that sick smile still didn’t leave his face. “Why?” Alfonso growls
“Because I have something I’m pretty sure neither Husso nor Leonardo would want to part with
Chapter 94
I could feel my blood run cold. Russo stepped closer and Landon’s eyes flicked to him. “What the fuck are you talking about, you motherfucker!!”
Landon chuckles under his breath. “Bring her in“” He yells, his voice echoing off the walls sharply.
God please, no no. Let it not be who I’m thinking
Outside, the sound of feet protesting against gravel filled my ears, then a struggle and a yelp. I grit my teeth, preparing for the worst Time moved in slow motion and by the time I saw two men dragging someone into the warehouse, my knees almost gave way when I realized that the someone
was Alessia
Her lip is busted and her eye is bruised.
Fuck! How much more of this can she take?
She looks incredibly distressed and my heart lurches for her. Parts of her clothing are ripped and she’s barefoot
How on earth did Landon get to her! We did our possible best for her to be well hidden. What happened with Dante? And the other guards?
A growl escaped my lips but I stabilized my hands as I kept the gun trained on Landon’s face. I wished I could just pull the trigger but that would mean a bloodbath and Alessia might get caught up in the crossfire. I can’t even bring myself to look at her right now.
I promised her that Td fucking protect her!
She attempts to fight back but she only tugged along aggressively by the two men, their fingers making marks on her bare skin. I grind my teeth again because the last thing I want to see is her being treated like this.
No one hurts Mia anymore.
“That is why,” Landon says smug
If I thought my blood was roaring before, it’s fucking erupting now.
The stupid son of a bitch!
I should’ve known better. He likes to play. This had always been just a game for him. He never changes.
“What do you want?” Russo growls.
Alessia is shoved to the ground. She was unable to keep herself up as her hands were tied behind her back. She whimpered into the dusty. floorboards. The next thing I know, a gun is cocked and aimed at the back of her head.
She glances up and our gazes mees. I feel my throat constrict at the sight of tears in her eyes. She’s begging me with her eyes to do something. Anything.
I felt like a useless man at that moment. I couldn’t move as my feet felt deeply rooted to the ground. Cazzo!
Cazzo!
My heart feels like it’s been torn out of my chest just seeing her like this but I also know that if I act out, just one slight mistake, and she’d get killed
Think smart, Leo. Think smart!
