Isabella's POV
1 hour later
"But what is up with this gun, and this torture technique Isabella?" Nicholas asked me as we sat in the car and i sighed
"Right after i gained my consciousness in that room, I started to remember my dad's words. I realized there were a lot of things he used to tell me when i was younger and these were a few of them" i said truthfully
"But these aren't the most normal techniques a normal person learns" he said lost in his thought
"What about you. What's with your gun and your warehouse?" I asked him and he gulped visibly
"Nicholas" i repeated his name and he looked at me with no expressions on his face
He looked around trying to stall time but realized i was stubborn and wasn't gonna drop the topic. He sighed and sat looking directly at me
"I am part of the mafia Isabella" he said calmly and i felt my heart skip a beat
"you're what?" I repeated my brain's question in case i heard it wrong
"I own mafia. Cadogan' is not just a name in the hotel and architectural bussiness, but its a big name in the Mafia world" he said calmly and i blinked at him in surprise
"So your- your family is the mafia?" I said stunned
"Technically its only our family. Not my extended family." He said
"But your dad never-"
"You don't tell people all this plus Mafia is not something that can get you all the stability. I didn't want to be a part of this so i started my own bussiness but somewhere in my heart i know i belong here. I was born for this" he said with pain in his voice and my heart hurt for him
He regrets being involved in this and hates how much he fits in this at the same time
He loosened his tie in stress opening his shirt button in progress and my eyes fell at the tattoo on his shoulder
"Why is it a three inter collided triangle tattoo?" I asked curiously examining the tattoo and he looked at his shoulder
"It represents rules, principles and ethics. The three things that make every Mafia family different"
"Oh so is it the same three triangles for every mafia family?" I asked
"No it's different for different mafia, The Cadogans' are represented by this" he said pointing to the tattoo
"A tattoo that represents a group they are part of" i say understanding the point
"Precisely yes, it's just so that you look the part" he says a little casually and i smile.
After a few minutes of silence we decide to go back home and so He drives me back to my home
"Thankyou for helping me today" i say to him and he looks at me, his gaze turning soft
"I'm glad you called me. Also Isabella whatever happened today you shouldn't tell anyone until i find something" Nicholas says and i nod
"Call me if anything happens" he says and i promise to do so and then get out the car
I get inside the house and go to my room. I change then come back down to check on my mom who is sound asleep
"Isabella?" Jenny looks at me surprised and i look at her with the same expression
"You're here right now?" She asks me stunned and i look at her
"Where else would i be?" I ask confused and let out a laugh
"Oh um. Nicholas's place i guess?" She says jokingly and i roll my eyes at her
She joins me for dinner and we talk about our usual days with me leaving the abducting part
"You want to pull an all nighter? Its a weekend" i say to her and she gets excited
"Omgg we haven't had one in years! Lets call for pizza later and watch a movie." She says excitedly and i laugh
"Let me set the projector in my room" i say and we both make our way upstairs
I set up the projector as Isabella looks through my closet to find something to wear
"Im wearing this. I hope you don't mind?" She says showing me a shirt
"All yours use whatever whenever" i say as i set up the wires to the laptop and she laughs
She comes back in the room and i look at her
My eyes travel to her waist as she is buttoning up the shirt and i see the unique spider tattoo she has
My brain recalls our conversation with the men we kidnapped earlier
"The person who ordered us to kidnap you had a weirdly designed spider tattoo somewhere low around their waist . We didn't see the face but the voice sounded one of a girl" The man's frightened voice surrounded my brain
"Isabella" Jenny snapped me out of my thoughts and i looked at her
"Let's play the movie" she said and i nod playing the movie laying down beside her
Jenny has the same spider tattoo on the same place that the man described seeing on the person who gave them the order
