I paced in my office hands twitching angrily at my sides, Marco had been transported to the hospital with gunshot wounds to his stomach and shoulder. Ace leaned against the bookshelves observing my movements, I thought of all the possibilities on who took her...the Russians were the obvious answer but it didn't make sense. The feud between the Italian and Russian mafia was solely drug-based in recent years, though I remember the situation regarding Adrienne a couple of months back...could it be Leonid?

"Capo?" The door opened, Gio walked in carrying a tablet.

"What do you have for me Gio." I spoke approaching him, a scowl plastered on my face.

"I reviewed the footage from the store, she was taken by the looks of it chorlofoamed..."My jaw tightened, as I waited for him to continue.

"We are still working on facial recognition on one of the men, the image is very distorted." I glared at him

"Do you have any other information for me, Gio? Or just the fact my wife was chorlofoamed?" I hissed angrily, I watched as Gio stepped back.

"Gio, come back later." Ace spoke from behind me, turning my attention to him. Once the door closed he sighed, before speaking.

"Ares, getting angry at everyone isn't going to make Adrienne magically appear." I scoffed.

"That's fucking obvious Ace." I spat before I paused rubbing a hand over my face, "I just want my wife back." I let out a defeated sigh.

"I know, and we'll get her back." He spoke patting my shoulder comfortingly.

"Ares, what happened!" The door opened as my mama rushed in, my papa trailing behind her.

"Adrienne has been taken." I muttered walking to pour myself a whiskey.

"That's obvious son," she glared "what information do we have on her kidnappers?" Before yanking the bottle of whiskey from my hands.

"Nothing, absolutely fucking nothing." I grumble.

"Well you need to get your ass into gear then don't you. You need to find your wife and your baby." She spoke firmly, I froze looking up.

"What baby? Is Adrienne pregnant?" I frown, was she pregnant? And why hadn't she told me?

"Fuck." Mama curses, "I assumed you knew, she found out yesterday." Mama informed me.

"Well I didn't know." I grumble, grabbing the bottle of whiskey from her hands.

"Son, the only advice I can give you in this situation is, don't lose yourself and use the resources given to you. Ask for help from other mafias, you'll just owe them a favour." Papa spoke, he gave me a pat on the arm.

"But you'll get her and the baby back." He added before grabbing mama's hand.

"Call us with updates please." Mama asked before hugging me.

Once my parents left I sat down at my desk swirling my whiskey around my glass. My gaze set firmly on my phone, before I picked it up dialling Andrea's number.

"My friend, what can I do for you?" He spoke his German accent prominent when he spoke English.

"Adrienne was taken this morning, by 5 unknown men. Have you heard anything about it?" I asked tapping my finger on the glass.

"That is a shame to hear, unfortunately I haven't heard of it within my connections. Though I am more than happy to offer my men to help ensure Adrienne's safety." His tone was firm and professional.

"I'd appreciate that a lot, I owe you." I sighed, before downing my glass.

"Keep in contact, I'll travel over with my men when you need me." I thanked him.

"Good luck." He spoke before ending the call.

I drove to the warehouse calling a meeting with my men, informing them of Adrienne's  disappearance and what our next plans going forward were.

I rubbed my forehead a heavy feeling weighing on me, my head ached and I felt nauseous. I blinked but my eyes felt heavy, I froze when I realised what had happened. My breath hitched and my eyes widened, I looked around my surroundings an anxious feeling of dread set in the pit of my stomach.

The door opened and a man unknown to me walked in, his eyes were set on me. My stomach clenched at the creepy look in his eyes, he moved closer to me causing me to back away.

"You're a hot one aren't ya, I'm sure boss wouldn't mind if I had a taste." He grinned, I didn't understand what he said but I could tell what language it was...(imagine it's Russian 😭)

He grasped my arm his grip firm and dominant, I let out a shaky breath.

"Why am I here?" I spoke trying to keep my voice firm and not let my fear show.

"Why would I know, though boss seems quite intrigued by you..."he grinned pulling me up.

I tried to pull my arm back which caused his grip to grow tighter, I wanted to go home...I wanted Ares. He dragged me from the area I was in up some stairs before we stood in a modern foyer. He began pulling me through the foyer until we made it to a set of large wooden doors I could hear voices behind the door, my panic lingering in my gut. I froze as the door opened I kept my feet firmly planted on the floor, with a harsh shove I stumbled forward catching myself I turned around glaring at the guy. I paused my heart racing as I turned my gaze back to the group sitting at the top who were yet to stop their conversation. They looked up once the door clicked shut, their eyes piercing and dark.

"Is this her?" One asked, looking me up and down, his expression was unimpressed.

"Yes, this is her." The man behind me nudged me forward for a shove.

"Hm, I'll get boss then." He spoke standing up he approached me, placing a finger under my chin he tilted my head up his eyes locking onto mine. His eyes full of disappointment and resentment, I kept my nails pressed firmly into my palms so I wouldn't do something that could risk my life and the babies.
