The Lost Mafia Queen

Chapter 14

Nick

I looked at the man sprawled out in the floor.

"Have you fed him?"

"No"

I nodded and walked over to him. I grabbed a bunch of his hair and pulled him up so that he was facing me.

"What did Igor want with the girl?"

"Go to hell" he replied. Hmm.

"Oh you are gonna see hell if you don't tell me why he wanted her"

"I don't know"

Oh so be it.

"Luke hand me the pliers" Luke handed me the pliers and I smirked at the man.

Half an hour later I wiped the blood of my hands and looked at the man again. "Since our little fun time is over, care to tell me why he wanted her?"

He looked at me in disgust and spit at me.I wiped it off, took a knife and slit his throat.You do not mess with me.People don't call me ruthless without a reason.

"Adrien, take care of this mess"

"Yes boss."

I walked out of the cell and went to my room to take a quick shower. After I was fresh, I decided to get some work done in my office.

It has been a little over a week since  I came to America to check up on my businesses here and to find out who has been stealing from me. My job here is done and its time to go back to Italy. And Jo and Caroline are coming with me. I had their passports made.All I had to do is tell Caroline. I took my phone and dialed Luke.

"Yes boss?"

"Bring Caroline over to my office."

"Yes boss"

Why can't people just say yes or no?

A few minutes later, someone knocked on my door.

"Come in"

Luke walked in followed by Caroline. She had on a worn oversized hoodie with a pair of ripped jeans. I have to remember to get her and Jo new clothes. After all, she is living with me.I told Luke to leave and her to sit. She sat opposite me and stared at me.

"So, are you close with anyone here?"

She arched an eyebrow and answered. "Yes. Ashley my best friend and roommate."

She had a roommate?Shit. I should have more research. This Ashley girl could have gone to the police by now. Although the police wouldn't dare to look our way, I did not want a hassle.I opened one of my drawers and took out her phone and pushed it towards her.

"Call and tell her that you are moving to Italy"

"I don't wanna lie to her"

"Well you won't be lying, darling." She stared at me in confusion and then realization dawned and her eyes widened in shock and then came the anger.

"No I cannot do that. This is my homeland. I was born here. My par-" she immediately closed her mouth. Curious. But I decided to leave it for a now.

"You are coming with us, no matter what. Unless you want to die.But am sure thats not an option for you, so I suggest you to pick up the phone and dial your friend" I said although I had no intention of killing her.

She picked up the phone and called her.

"Put it on speaker mode"

She nodded wordlessly.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

"Hello? Car? Where the hell are you? It has been days. You did not even leave a note. Are you okay?All your clothes are gone. Where did you go?"

Wow. This girl actually cared for her lot.

"Hey Ash, I..um ,I am great. Things there were not working out for me..I needed a change, so I decided to move to Italy"

This girl was really good at this. After a long pause.She asked in a small voice."Forever?"

Caroline looked at him and I just stared back at her. She sighed. "Yes"

"But car...um OK. If you are happy, I am happy"

"Thanks Ash. I really have to go now"

"Bye Car, will miss you so much" With that she hung up.

"Happy?" a lone tear slipped from the corner of her eyes.

"I-"

Without waiting for an answer she stormed out of the office.

And I felt helpless.
