Mafia's Assassin

Chapter 29

"Take her ring and inform Makhail, he needs to bury his love" the men nod.

My feet carry me through the doors to the Manor where I search every room to no avail. Grabbing a horse I ride to our thinking spot noticing the distant flapping white paper in the breeze, an arrow holding it to the tree.

Have you seen this man ?

My horse races back to the Manor where I dismount and flee to the servants corridor finding Antonio laying on the floor, fingers and face broken

"Antonio !" Scooping up his head I lay him in my lap "Antonio can you hear me ?" He coughs and splutters marking my pants in red

"Help ! Send help now !!" His hand covers my own

"Em .. Emilie wait .." his breathing laboured while I try to sooth him "They knew, they knew where he was .." my brows frown to his

"They knew where he was, they didn't need me to tell them .." my eyes flick to his noting his seriousness

"Antonio what do you mean ?"
"There's.. there's a traitor among us .."
"Who .. who Antonio ?" My fingers tighten at his collar but he had already become unconscious.

I sit in my chair as my tears roll freely from my cheek, unsure who I can trust in the place I once considered everyone my family. His picture laid staring at me, his strong jaw shaded with stubble. I feel uneasy as my fingers draw and swirl on my stomach

"Emilie .." Mary enters the room holding a tray of cotton wool and water.

"Mary" I try to soften a smile but it doesn't reach

"Nico ?" I shake my head no as I turn to the window

"I should never have left.." her arms encase mine as I lean my head to her shoulder

"I must admit you really need to stop looking for danger when all you need to do is talk" slowly I nod to her reasoning, she was right after all.

"Leave, I need to think" nodding she stands from my desk, closing the door behind her. Sitting there a while I stare at nothing but the wall and decide this isn't going to get my husband back alive. Placing my phone to my ear I dial

"Hello"
"Long time .."
"I need to see you"
"Met me at the club"

**************
Pulling in Nicos men one by one, I talk through the strategy, dates times and locations in which we plan to hit and scower, with me working along side them until we found my husband. This plan was set to happen fast as we were already losing a day and by the time tomorrow came we was ready.

"Okay suit up lets go !" Climbing into the back of the black SUV we hit up every location and I was about to give up hope when we arrive at the last one. An abandoned factory, one of the Russians old ventures that fell through with their deals made with certain people across the water.

"Wait here, I'll give you a shout when it's clear" nodding I watch the door close and spend some time checking my emails. My phone rings

"We are ready" climbing from the car I walk alone towards the building and inside I find myself center of the room  Matteo not far behind.

"Found anything ?" I watch as his head shakes no when three men come from the shadows, surrounding me

"Matteo who are these men ?" My eyes alert as I take in the men drawing the gun from my belt when it's taken from me

"I wouldn't if I was you.." my gun now being placed in the belt of another

"You really sold us out huh ?" Shaking my head while gritting my teeth.

"Believe me Emilie it wasn't my plan but then again .. you never was" a breathless laugh passes my lips

"So Nico deserved punishment did he ?" Matteo begins to circle me

"No.. but a friendly fixable beating just to remind him what his family was really meant to be, not hooked up on the likes of your kind"

"Which is ..?" Frowning to his hardened features

"Meant for extinction, well best case scenario for you is to be locked in a room for breeding" I scoff at his wording

"So that's all I am to you an object with no other suitable purpose but to breed ?" His face turns sinister

"It was .. but you kept getting in the way .." Raising his hand his men step forth "Don't worry I'll tell Nico you said bye" and with the drop of his hand his men fall limp around him. Shock registers first to my calm complexion

"Oh don't look so shocked Matty" collecting a fallen gun as a tall board man appears from the shadows to my left

"You really didn't think after all this time I'd really be that easy to kill did you ?" Popping a hole in his foot as he wails to the floor

"You see you were foolish to betray your family"

"And what ? Your here to collect on that betray ?" His lips pulled into a small smile

"No" Shaking my head "this revenge isn't mine to take," Tilting my head "it's his"

The blonde broad steps forward, his eyes glistening with bags under the blue.

"Help me find what I need. Please bring my family home" outstretching his palm I place the diamond ring center and watch as his fingers circle the jewel, leaving Makail to his sorrow and revenge.
