Mafia series: Innocence

Chapter 73

Brielle's POV

After I left the dining room I then made my way to the room I was staying in and I sat there for an hour or 2 just reading a book I had got from the house library. It was about 6 when I then saw a shadow from underneath the bedroom door and next thing I know a note was slipped into the room and then the shadow left.

I get up out of the bed and head towards the door to pick up the note.

"Meet me in the garden in 30 minutes."

There is only one person I can think of who gave me this note and I am praying that I'm right because he is my only chance right now. I go back to the bed and begin reading the book again to pass time, but I couldn't really focus on the book so most of the time was spent by me overthinking. I look at the clock to see that it has been 30 minutes so I throw on a hoodie and leave the room.

I will never call it my room simply because it isn't.

I peaked my head out to see if any guards were by the door and I was surprised and confused that I didn't see any. I am starting to think that the note wasn't from Martin and that this is all some sort of sick plan that Nikolai had set up.

I slowly made my way downstairs making sure to check every hall and every corner before walking any further, but I couldn't see anyone which only confused me further. When I entered the garden I didn't see anyone which caused me to furrow my eyes.

Was I wrong?

As I turned to head back into the house I bumped into someone and when I saw that it was Martin my body relaxed.

"I thought the note was from you, glad you changed your mind." I say while sending a smile his way but he was too busy looking around the garden to notice.

"We don't have that much time they are all in a meeting right now in Nikolai's office so we have to be quick." He grabs my arm and takes me to a more secluded place in the garden.

If they are having a meeting it makes sense why the house was pretty much empty.

"Why did you change your mind?" I asked once we were settled into our new spot. He looks at me before looking at the ground with nervousness.

"I saw how Mrs. Volkov treated you and I thought it would be the right thing to do, I have also heard you cry yourself to sleep many of times on my shift of watching your bedroom door." I look at him with my eyes widened.

I didn't think that they could hear me.

Now I just feel weak.

"If you want to get out of here we need to play this smart." He says as he pulls out a piece of paper and a pen.

'What's this for?" He hands the pen and paper over to me as he turns around so I can use his back as a surface to write.

"I need you to write a letter to your husband so I don't get killed when I enter his territory, hopefully." He whispers the last part that I almost didn't hear what he had said.

"Why are you going there?"

"If I can let him know where you are and that you are still alive it can give him some time to come up with a plan to save you, so that way you are free and i'm not caught." I nod my head slowly before placing the paper on his back as I begin to write.

After I am done writing Martin turns around and grabs the letter folding it before putting it in his pocket.

"It's already pretty late so I will have to deliver this tomorrow when he is at his warehouse." He says simply as he pulls out a lighter and a cigarette.

"How will you know he is there?" He looks at me before taking a hit from his cigarette.

"I have my way's with tech." I nod my head at him before giving him a hug which catches him off guard.

"Thank you." He doesn't make any moves which confused me but I then got the hint and moved back.

"You should hurry up and make your way back to your room before they catch you." I nod my head as I leave him to head inside.

The plan seems like a really good one and I really hope it works because I need to leave this hell hole. I cannot spend another day here I will lose my mind.

***

The next morning I woke up feeling as if a little bit of weight was lifted off my shoulders. I know there is still a long way to go but I am almost free so that is all I need to know right now. I get up and take a quick shower, after my shower I dry my hair and get dressed. I then go back into the room and I am not surprised when I see Nikolai in the room,  seeing him only makes me mad.

"did you have a nice shower?" He asked with a smirk on his face which causes me to wince at the tone in his voice. He has never touched me since I have been here but that doesn't mean that I don't have my eyes on him just in case he does try anything.

"What do you want?" He looks at me for a few seconds as he takes a seat on the bed while he was still facing me.

"Well one of my men has told me some news but i'm not sure if I believe him." His look sends shivers down my spine. His voice is now more dominating and intimidating. 

"Wheres Martin?" He asked as he looked at me with a serious face. How did he know or how did one of his men know, we made sure our conversations were in private so how could anyone have heard us.

"Who's Martin?" If he is just asking this question without actually knowing that I met with Martin then he would believe that I don't know who Martin is. He then slowly stands up and walks my way with no look of what he is feeling or thinking on his face.

"You want to know a little secret of mine?" He asked once he was in front of me. He then takes a strand of my hair and plays with it in his hands which causes my body to tense immediately.

"I have cameras all over the place." He whispers in my ear before he takes a handful of my hair in his hands he then yanks it which causes me to let out a painful cry.

"Now I don't know what the fuck you two had planned but I do know that Martin isn't here, so I am assuming that he went to that bastard of a husband you have." His grip on my hair tightens as he spoke.

"P-please stop." I managed to speak all though the more he tightened his grip the more my head began to hurt.

"I was going to spear you when I had Lorenzo in my sight but now that he might be here a little earlier than I had expected so I guess you two will be together after all."

"In the after life." The bedroom door then swings open with two guards and they make their way to us.

"Отведи суку обратно в подвал". he tells the men which makes them walk towards me and each of them grab my arms and begin to drag me out of the room.

(Take the bitch back to the basement)

"Don't touch me!" I shout as they begin walking me back to the basement.

I can't believe this is happening right now, but I can't help but still have a little bit of faith because if Martin hasn't gotten caught yet then he must be with Lorenzo giving him my note.

Lorenzo please come save me.
