Keeping It Together

Chapter 31

Blake

I watch as Austin drove off, with Hope, Hayden, Jordan, and Gio.

Austin had informed me that they were heading to a doctor friend of his to check out Gio's wound which I was fine with as long as he keeps me updated.

"What we gonna do with her?" Dean asks, not hiding his anger.

Rome smirks, twirling the knife in his hand. "Let me have a go at her," he says, with pleading eyes.

"Do as you wish," I told him, and he smirks, starting to make his way inside. We all followed him, already knowing what he was going to do to her.

When we reach inside. Carl was already inside. He insisted on coming after Roman gave us a call.

Roman was the one that told us the address of where Hope was being held.

One of my men was found tied up, in the back and when I couldn't find Hope, I immediately started to lose my fucking mind.

If anything was to happen to Hope. I wouldn't know how to live with myself, know I had something to do with her death.

"Well hello Celeste," Rome smirks, pulling out his knife, and then points the knife at her and then at Nicolas whose names we got from Jay. He continues doing this, an evil smirk on his face as he watches her squirm.

Finally, it stops at her but that was just to spook her. With fast reflex, he stabs the knife into Nicolas's shoulder.

The poor boy screams, but lucky for us his mouth was occupied with a white rag.

"Getting into Mafia business was a tricky move, and a stupid one also. Tell us your reason and we let you live," Rome removes the cloth, and Nicklas spat on him.

"You killed my father, you bunch of psychopathic assholes!" He yells, tears falling down his face.

Rome stared at him, clicking his tongue. He turns to us, raising his eyebrows. "Did we kill this poor boy's father?" He asks sounding hurt.

Rome never liked meeting the family of people we killed. "What's your name?" Carl asked.

Jay stood by the door, a cold glare on Nicolas. "My father was Micheal Cage," and that was when it click.

I let out a laugh. "You're the son of the ass that Roman killed?" This made Nicolas mad. "My father isn't-"

My brother shot him, in the head before he had the chance to finish his sentence.

"Well damn," Carl says, staring at his now lifeless body.

Rome turns to Celeste.

"Now what to do with you?" He seems to be thinking, then he lifts the gun. "Any last words?" He leans closer and then chuckles when he realizes she had a cloth in her mouth. "Too bad," and he shot her in the head.

"Now let's go see our baby sister," he tells both Jayden and me, as he walked out of the house with a smile on his face as if he didn't just murder two people.
