The Crimson Point

Chapter 24- Calm before the storm

ELIJAH LUCIANO POV

After Giovanni informed me where my little princess was, I ordered...well demanded Dante to drive to a little pizza shop which was 10 minutes away.

My kitten can run far, she must be really tired. When I bring her back to our home she can rest all she wants in my arms.

Dante kept glancing over at me, I was mad at him, I was mad at everyone. My kitten is supposed to be protected and safe, yet she escaped me. She left me!

The car ride was filled with silence as no one wanted to upset me anymore. Enzo was fiddling with his fingers, Leo was texting some bitch or whore, and Matteo was playing with his knife as if it was a pencil.

Dante quickly turned the corner onto a busy street. A neon sign that had a phone icon caught my attention as it was the restaurant my kitten was at.

I ordered my men to be stationed at the front of the building because I knew I would have her in my arms shortly. I already miss her touch, her warmth, she calmed me down and I needed her right now.

I got out of the black SUV in record time. A path was created as citizens knew who I was, but most importantly what I do and what I can do.

All their faces held fear, some children hid behind their parents, some people looked at their feet not daring to look at me. Everyone was shaking in fear as I walked straight into the crowded restaurant.

I couldn't see my princess anywhere. As I stood at the front of the shop my men came up behind me. I raised my gun towards the ceiling and shot one warning shot. This got everyone's attention.

"Where is she?" I yelled out to no one in particular. Everyone was in shock as I approached a shaking waiter. He looked young, he had a strong jawline with dark blue hair.

I placed my gun towards his head, not hesitating to kill. I would kill anyone who knew where my kitten was.

"Sir please calm down! Who are you talking about?" A middle-aged lady questioned, slowly approaching me in her tight black dress which is causing her breasts to spill out.

"My kitten! Where the fuck is she! I know she is here! She used your phone!" I spat out still holding the young boy by the caller as my men held their guns ready to shoot everyone.

"T-the small g-g-green eye-e-d lady?" The waitress stuttered.

I nodded. She knew my kitten, she knew where she was, and yet she wasn't telling me!

I got angry and pointed my pistol at the middle-aged lady and released my grip on the young boy. He ran towards the back near the kitchen.

Her face scrunched up in fear as she pointed to the back which held the restrooms. I motioned for my men to clean up this mess and I headed back towards the female washrooms.

I heard faint movement as I tried to twist the locked doorknob. "Kitten, open up the door, please! I promise I won't let anyone hurt you!" I begged as I heard her little sobs escape her perfect mouth. I hated how she cried. I hated that I might be the cause of them.

Those tears broke my cold heart, I hate to hear and see her tears, I never want her to be sad ever again.

I heard movement but they were becoming fainter, it sounded like she was... escaping.

I kicked down the door and walked over to see my princess escaping through the tiny window above. She was so close to escaping till I grabbed one of her ankles and started to pull her back in.

'She won't leave me again.'

I started to pull her small body until her other foot kicked me so hard in the face I started to bleed.
