Untamed (A mafia story)

Chapter 44

Earlier that day

Cora had just gotten home after leaving Dimitri's house, which she left not so happy but then it wasn't as bad as the other times she had left there in tears.

She hoped the whole place would be quiet judging from the fact that they were setting an ambush of some sort for Dimitri, but to her surprise it wasn't.

The whole place looked busy as usual, but Enzo's car was nowhere to be seen and so was her sister.

She quickly used the opportunity to go down and check on Ivan, at least she could use his company now, and she was still trying to come to terms with how she was gonna tell him that his cousin was here in Rome, planning a rescue mission

But to her utter surprise, the basement was.... Empty, even the guards left to guard the place were missing.

At first she panicked, what if they'd killed him.
Did she make a mistake by stopping Dimitri from coming?
If anything happens to Ivan, Dimitri will not take it lightly.

"Positive thoughts Cora, he's not dead, maybes they just moved him" she tried to reassure herself and also steady her breathing.

She had to find out where they took him to, and to do that she had to put her acting skills to a test.

Time to act like her sister
She adjusted herself and went back upstairs

She spent a good minute behind the walls preparing herself and giving herself a pep talk, it couldn't be that hard right?
She did it for almost six months with Dimitri, she could do it for just a few minutes with Enzo's men

After a good while, she decided it was time to walk out and have that talk with them.

The first two people she found on the couch in the living room, immediately bowed their head in respect, okay this is going well, they already think she's Cara

She awkwardly gave them a Curt nod top before clearing her throat.

"You there, where's...." She paused a while gaining the attention of the man with dirty blonde hair, she contemplated if it was okay to call Enzo by his name or simply to refer to him as her husband, the men in front of her were already looking at her expectantly, waiting for her to complete her sentence "where's my husband"? She tried not to stutter.

They both exchanged looks before looking back at her "He went out Donna" the one with the dirty blonde replied her and she straightened her back

Okay that was a close call, no more slip ups Cora

"The prisoner, where is he"? She asked finding her voice much firmer this time.

They exchanged yet again another look of uncertainty, wondering why their Donna would be here questioning them.

"I asked you both a question"? She raised her voice a bit, wincing in her own head how loud she sounded, this was not her at all, the earlier she get this over with, the better

"Uhh.. we don't know Donna, the boss took him a few hours ago, didn't say where" the dirty blonde answered for both men
At least she knows he's not dead yet.

She gave them a nod before walking back upstairs, the info she got wasn't much but it's enough to let her know that Ivan is still alive, Enzo just changed his location, probably because he knows Dimitri is coming for him.

Present Time

He didn't know if he should sit or stand for what he just heard.
He was looking at her but his thinking had spiralled out of control.
