°MORALITY°

Chapter 23

The one word to describe the Jones' household: Chaos.

Everything was turned upside down.
The only person who was capable of doing that was their precious girl, Delilah.

*****
After his soccer practice, Tyler arrived at the parking lot expecting a furious Delilah since he hadn't informed her about his practice, but was surprised to see the space empty. Thinking she was with her friends or picked up by one of his brothers, didn't pay much heed.

"I'm home. Has Delilah arrived yet?" Tyler called out as soon as he reached home.

"I thought she was supposed to come with you." His mom replied from the kitchen.

"I thought either Tristan or Ashton picked her up. Maybe she's with Sofya or Tony."

"Ashton has his tournament today and Tristan is still in his office." Enzo replied, coming down the stairs.

"Just call her friends and make sure she's with them."

"Yes mom."

Tyler proceeded to call her two friends to find out that she was not with them too.
Panic began to set in. Grandma and Grandpa had left for Italy, whereas his dad had gone out for some business.

This was not going to end well.

*******

Tristan ran a hand through his hair, loosened his tie, unbuttoned a few buttons on his shirt and laid back on the chair, sighing.
It was a long day of work that didn't seem to end.
But the thought of going home and seeing his sister made him smile. He still remembered the joy that he and his brothers felt when they got the news that they would be having a sister.

A knock sounded on the door, interrupting his train of thoughts.

"Sir? I've brought the files you asked." His secretary announced entering his office.

"Keep it on my table, thank yo-" He was interrupted by his phone ringing.

The word "Home" flashed on the screen of his phone. Thinking that it was his impatient sister asking him to get home fast, he immediately picked up the phone smiling to himself.

His secretary, Benjamin, a new recruit never imagined to see the day where he would witness his boss smiling. A full-blown smile. To say he was utterly surprised would be an understatement. He was flabbergasted. It made him curious about the reason behind that smile.

"Yes sorella, I was just going t- WHAT!?"
Benjamin was startled. His boss' mood just did a 180, and he didn't want to be caught up in that. He felt it best to leave the office and give him privacy.

Tristan on the other hand; his blood was boiling. He felt rage and a bit of fear after receiving the news that his baby sister just got abducted.

"I'm coming home right now." With that, he rushed out of the building without a word, leaving his confused employees behind.

At home, the lot was collected. Tyler consoling his crying mother and his father, furiously shouting at the phone.
Lorenzo was on a call as well, informing his parents about the possible abduction.
Ashton had left in the middle of his game as soon as he got the news and was on his way back.

"Its that fucker Victor." Alexander spat out with contempt.

"I've got a location on him Uncle." Matteo was a tech genius and could suck out information from every possible place.

"Gather the men, we are going to tear that figlio di puttana apart." Tristan was trying his best to stay calm but failed miserably. (Trans: son of a bitch)

Alexander's phone rang, displaying an unknown number. He already knew who the person was.

"Victor, you are not getting out of this alive." He stated calmly with a dark promise.

"I'm excited for our reunion, Alexander." Victor replied with a dark chuckle before he hung up.
