Abandoned Soul (Complete)

fairytale casino part 2

Haley

Once Gabe had me all set for the evening, we all met by the front door and with kisses and hugs all around we moved to the cars. I was riding with Owen tonight along with Kota. They were the way in tonight,not sure how they managed to get on the list of the elites tonight, Victor said that even he couldn't get us in.

When I asked Owen about this he said nine invitations came through messenger to hand out to us. He's not sure who exactly sent them but he wasn't going to turn in down as a way in.

We heard the Russians run the place ,but upon reaching the doors and valet it was definitely a mix of people. 

The men wore suits and uniforms alike pending there job, the guards here were bigger than Nathan and North. Who the hell runs this place. But when Owen showed them the invites and they looked us over,they nodded but not without a smirk, we proceeded through the metal detectors and proceeded into the grand entrance. We took in the massive foyer and proceeded towards the front desk to see if we can see the ballroom for our wedding. The woman names Anna according to her badge called over a large guy in a suit and he introduced himself as Alessandro and he would be glad to show us the ballroom. He asked questions like the amount of people,what's e had in mind. But also warned us it was booking up fast. They just opened how could they book up that quickly. I was glad when Sean asked, Alessandro just smiles and answered, all it takes is the proper connections and that the people couldn't wait for it to open.

As we followed this guy through twist and turns,I notice the amount of security in this place. Upon approach of the elevators we were told the banquet room is up on the third floor. We watch as one of the elevators closed, but from the quick glance we noticed it was a private elevator and who ever just entered had what looked like a couple of large wolves with them. Yikes.

I asked about that, and he said that elevator is only for staff and the owners private quarters in the penthouse. They are here for the opening. He even gave us a Stern warning that if anyone even tries to get up there without permission, it would be a miracle if they survived. While the wolves are there,they won't attack without command or their humans are being physically attacked. I guess they were a gift to the head of Russia from their fiancee for protection when they are not around.

I watch Owen give a silent command that the moment we feel it's safe for north and Victor to check it out. Victor has already tried to get into their security system but even he couldn't hack it. And with that we proceed to the ballroom, and the moment we walked in it was perfect. Looked absolutely like a fairytale wedding dream come true. With twinkling lights and flowers hanging, to the solid wood floors and bar,it was perfect and we all agreed that this was the place to make it happen. He said we could book it now but the earliest is about six months from now. And he wasn't sure which dates were available. While the staff books it. The owners I guess make sure every thing is right according to the details.

Alessandro proceeded to tell us that the owner herself designed the whole place. And I couldn't help but be in awe as we got a tour of the upper floors since we were there.

Gabe

What the fucking hell, I couldn't believe this place and how elaborate it was decorated. Everywhere you turned was exquisite. Definitely to bring in the elites. I wish I could meet this woman that decorated it so I can compare notes with her on some of the stuff I've been working on. But according to Alessandro she is only here for the opening and even then we might not see her. Apparently she's a very private person,but those who do know her think very highly of her,says she has the brightest smile around and can bring anyone to the knees with her charm and beauty. Only one person before Haley I knew could do that,but we chased off with our words and actions putting her into complete darkness from what we heard. As I look to the woman holding onto Owen and Sean I can't help but smile at the way she picked up the pieces and put us back together again.

Victor

Ugh, it's driving me nuts not to be able to hack into their security system,everything I tried ends up being a dead end and I have no favors to use to even ask for help from Corey. How did we get this low in our favors,that Ashley waters mission gave us plenty even after the favors we used for her, that is a name none of us can never truly speak of again. We thought she was cheating and come to find out, we were the ones actually doing the cheating, but we were so far gone into a relationship with Haley to even think about fixing it with Sang, and before we even realized what was happening she walked out that door and we haven't seen or heard from since. No one seems to know how to find her and since she's a ghost she seemed to blend in well wherever she went. Not that my team actually went looking for her, it was like we really didn't care at all and when we showed more interest in Haley we pretty much kicked her to the curb without any care almost like we.were happy she was gone.bit why after all these years am I thinking about her. Maybe because with the tour of the hotel itself it was fit for a princess and at one point she was mine. Haley.may not have that title but she is my sweetheart..

Upon reaching the upper floors of the hotel I can't help but wonder about the elevator that goes to the penthouse apartment at the top and exactly what the owners look like, we know the Russians own it, if I had to guess most of the bodyguards we have encountered were Russian,some even looked Italian but last I knew they didn't get along with each other,maybe that is just a ruse.

Kota

When we were given the tour on the upper floors where the suites were I couldn't help but notice the large man coming out of the private elevator. Must be a guard, but when he looked at me, I couldn't think but he reminded me of Raven from the Toma team so must be Russian, but the person he was with was definitely as big as him.

When he notice me.looking his way he raised a eyebrow but smirked at me like he had this big secret. He then turned to another guy I hadn't even noticed spoke to him. And left that third guy looked at us and proceeded back into he elevator. Whoever is up there must be even more important than we thought. Because when they got in the elevator downstairs they had the wolves with them,but I didn't see them come down with the large men. Must be upstairs with the woman.
