Devil's Daughter

Chapter 7

Blake's pov:

"I know who has her."

My sentence hangs in the air and Valentina takes fast steps towards me.

"If  you're playing games Blake I swear to God-"

"I'm not. I'm not I promise." I look directly into her eyes saying the sentence with the calmest voice I can.

"Boss I really need to-"

"Leave the room." Valentina orders and without another word the man leaves the room leaving her and I again. "Who has my sister Blake?"

"Gerald, Gerald Smith."

"Why the fuck would he have her?" She asks in confusion.

"My guys got him on tape saying he will turns us against each other by doing something to Lily." I explain seeing her eyes showcase confusion by a slight furrow of her eyebrows.

"But why?" She asks almost in a whisper.

"That's why I wanted to meet you , I don't want your sister hurt she's just a kid." I express truthfully as her eyes find mine. For a moment she shows vulnerability as her eyes look into mine ready to fills with tears any minute. However she shakes her head stepping away from me and turning around to face the door. Her back is turned to me.

"Val, I can help okay? Let me help." I softly say and she turns around very slowly this time her jaw is clenched and her eyes look angry.

"If you play games with me Blake," she begins stepping forward again and grabbing my jaw to force my eyes on hers. "I swear to fucking God I will kill you and anyone you love."

"I'm not playing." I reassure her, the grip she has on my jaw becoming more and more painful. The throbbing in my ribs from earlier hasn't stopped either. Her cold hazel eyes stay on mine for a moment longer before she lets go of my jaw.

"You stay tied up tho." She says.

"Ohhh kinky." I playfully joke seeing a slight smile on her face.

"Blake." She warns. "Behave please."

"Aw and you said please." I tease again but once a catch her serious glance I shut my mouth. "Too far?" Val doesn't respond to me instead she thinks for a second before meeting my eyes again.

"What do you need to get me that audio?" She asks.

"I don't know. Just my phone I guess." I shrug my shoulders, which make me realise my ribs still hurt. "Hey Val, my ribs are killing me, can I get checked out by someone?"

"After you get me the audio." She responds pulling out my phone from her pocket. "What's your password?"

"123456."

"Seriously Blake?" She looks at me with a 'come on' look. "You're a mafia boss and you're password is 123456?"

"Exactly."

"That's so bad." She chuckles.

"Why?"

"Cus it's so obvious." Val responds.

"And cus I'm a mafia boss everyone thinks I have a unbreakable password so no one will ever try 123456." I explain and Valentina laughs.

"You're something else I swear."

"Smart is the word you're looking for." I say and she shakes her head.

"Who am I calling?" She asks.

"Jay."

"Alright. No tricks Duarte." She warns as she tries to find Jay's contact.

"Yes ma'am." I answer in a silly voice. She gives me another 'come on' look. "Sorry gosh."

"Alright tell him to send you the file." She orders putting the phone up to my ear amd as she does so she pulls out a gun from her waistband holding it in her left hand pointed straight at me.

"No need for that." I say.

"Talk on the fucking phone Blake."

"Alright." I try and hold my hands up in defence but I forgot they are tied.

The line rings 3 times and Jay finally picks up.

"What's up?"

"I need the Smith recording." I say and Valentina nods motioning for me to go on.

"Want me to send it to you here?" He asks his voice indicating he's probably about to sleep.

"Yeah." I answer. "And I'm staying with a girl tonight so can you tell Jack to lock up the bar?"

"Consider it done boss."

He hangs up and Valentina pulls the phone away from me. The gun however is till pointed at me. I look at the gun and all of a sudden I feel sharp pain straight through my ribs.

"Fuck!" I exclaim trying to bend down to soothe the pain.

"What is it Blake?!" Val comes over quickly kneeling in front of me and dropping her gun.

"My ribs fuck." I answer my head starting to spin from the pain.

"Hey hey hey, let me see." She says softly pulling my shirt up a bit and as she does she discovers a bruise over my ribs. "Shit."

"Please Val, it hurts so bad." Tears begin to for at the brim of my eyes as she softly traces her fingertips over the bruise.

"You'll be okay don't worry." She softly reassures. "Jake, vieni qui velocemente!" She shouts and the door opens revealing a man who rushes in. "La stiamo portando in ospedale. Portare la macchina in giro." She sternly orders and Jake runs out again.
"Jake come here quickly!" "We are taking her to the hospital. Bring the car around now."

Valentina quickly undoes the restraints on my legs and those on my arms. Lastly she undoes the ropes around my chest. I bring my hands to my ribs trying to soothe the pain but it's not really helping.

"I'm so sorry Blake." Valentina apologises sincerity in her voice.

"Fuck, it's fine."

"The car will be soon I'll take you to the hospital."

"That's not nece-"

"Shut the fuck up. You might be the devil's daughter Blake, but you ain't dying cus of me."
