Mr. De Santis

41

Alessandro's POV:

"you wanna go after her and turn yourself in." Sage repeats my statement I made as he stands on the opposite side of the room, his hands waiving at me furiously as I lean back in my chair, deciding not to give two shits about his two cents.

"that's what I just said, is it not?" I give him a dead look, as if he's being ridiculous questioning me.

"you are gonna get yourself killed man." Theo sighs as he shakes his head, closing his eyes. "if not both of you would be killed in an instant that's what they want." he takes a deep breathe, "both of you dead.

In actuality, they were correct. But I couldn't simply stay put and carry out the original strategy. That is fucking absurd. What if Harley's body was discovered to be lying in a ditch somewhere? What if she gave up? She's well trained and got the skills.

She would remain silent even if they tortured her since it is against her sense of honour to provide information. One, even if you took out her fucking eyeballs, I know for a certainty that she would never in a million years break. And please understand that while Harley is capable of taking care of herself, she should not be imprisoned in a chair with no means of escape.

And please understand that while Harley is capable of taking care of herself, but not in a fucking cell tied to a fucking chair with no leverage what so ever.

What if she is in that fucking slip dress she was wearing, in a cellar, without a bra and no weapons, and she clearly couldn't give one a flying fuck about me, meaning I don't even know wha she's capable of right now especially after her parents died. She made it extremely apparent, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to rip the fucking heart out of everybody who even glances in her direction. if, as I approach her, I overhear a man attempting to fucking touch her.

may the lord fucking bless them because I didn't just get given the nickname il diavolo for nothing. he will fucking wish he was dead by the time I'm done with him.

my fists tighten around the arm chair rests, leaving imprints on the leather as I imagine some fat fuck getting even five centimetres within reach of her.

"she's not gonna give up my location, that's what they want and they'll do anything to get it." I grit out my teeth, wishing it was me in her place.

I rub my jaw as it clenches at the situation, I haven't slept but that's the last thing I'm gonna do. I don't give a fuck what I have to do or what I need to sacrifice until she's back in my arms. Even if it is the last thing I do.

"Why the fuck was she even out the house?" Sage sighs, muttering under his breathe.

"She was coming to find me." My eyes stare into the distance, not able to look at anyone as I say it.

Why is it always my fucking fault?
She doesn't fucking deserve this.

"Okay so we need a plan." Theo leans forwards, leaning his elbows on his knees. "How did they know she was out of the house?"

My eyebrows pinch together in confusion.

"Unless they were waiting until one of you left which doesn't seem to be the case because you were already out then..."

"Then we have a rat." I interrupt Theo. My face twitching as I come to the realisation.

Who the actual fuck has the nerve to be a rat. Especially under Harley's mafia and most importantly under mine.

when I find out who this rat is. lets just hope he said enough Hail Marys and the fucking lord above lets him die quickly.

hes a dead fucking man walking.

"Someone ratted out she left, they must've been close by. Close enough for them to catch up to her, cause a scene making her crash and boom." The last few words out of sages mouth are quieter than the rest. "They have her right where they need her."

"This is why she was coming to look for me." I throw the paper across the desk, landing straight in front of Theo, sage immediately accelerates forward and they both stare at the picture before them.

"This couldn't be..."

"That's not possible..." sage shakes his head. "He's dead."

"Or at least was." Theo adds to sages out loud thoughts. Both their jaws on the ducking floor.

I reach forward and take a sip of my scotch. I lick my teeth and click my tongue.

"Well he's fucking back and I guess you were always right about him" I gesture to sage. "Fucking bitch was always suspicious.... This just confirms why."

his name was Ryan.

Ryan wasn't your average guy, he was good looking even ill say. he joined our academy when we were kids, we all trained together. it was always the four of us. Theo, sage, me and Ryan, or should I say Dimitri. he was good a training. good at everything to be fair. but he wasn't as good as me. and that's what drove us apart.

right around 16, about two years ago Ryan had a lot to drink and so did I, problem was the fuckface didn't know how to handle himself on liquor, he went at me. starting with shitty little comment I chose to ignore then that night turned into a full on duel. sage and Theo were in the middle of it. obviously they had chosen my side because the kid was always kind of an asshole to them. long story short after a lot of blood, that was hardly mine the kid hit me where it would hurt.

he lay there on the fucking ground while I had a gun to his head and a knife to his fucking throat he tipped me off the edge. 'ill fuck that bitch.' his voice still lingers in my head. 'whats her name? Harley?' he smiled a mouth full of blood. 'ill fuck her and then just as she's falling asleep in my arms I slit her throat right there and then.' he spat out. 'ill do the one thing you can't. ill fucking kill her and ill smile as I do it.' I was so sure I killed him then and there. no one was gonna talk about Harley that way. no. one.

but I guess not, I was in a rush, which means he could've survived the bullet wound and well... here we are.

I whip her head in the direction of Theo and sage, out of my flash back completely. "Im going to get her. I don't give fuck about the logistics of any of it." I grit out my teeth, they groan in pain as I grind them together even more. "but she's getting out of there alive"

"are you two idiots in o this with me or am I doing it by myself because believe you me I will do it." I look at them both and I stand up out of my chair and open the desk drawer. grabbing two guns and holding them in the air checking both for amo.

"you really think we are gonna let you leave without us or any sort of plan." Theo laughs, "so you wanna go in there gunz blazing." he repeat the words I hope to Harley early today.

it makes my heart squeeze.

my star, we are so similar is scares me

"sit your big ass back down and lets sort out a plan less likely to get you both fucking killed." sage smirks and I look up at him, my gaze dragged away from the guns in my hands, I replicate his smirk and slowly stat sitting back down.

we are coming for you baby, please just hold on.

and don't give those fuckers an easy time star.
