Cruel love

Chapter 33 Enzo

When Arkadi took me captive in one of his torture house I was ready for my death. I knew that day would come one day. I wasn't a good man. I probably deserve death more than anyone. I will face it with my head held high.

They cut me, hit me, and drained my blood like a pig. They tried their best but they couldn't break me, some bones sure but not my spirit. I would never bow my head for these Bratva bastards. These fu*kers would never get me "is this the best you can do". That got me another kick in the balls. I laughed and blood poured from my mouth.

They were giving torture in different sessions. They would hit me for a couple of hours and then cut me and put their fingers inside my wounds just to accelerate the intensity of pain. Then they leave me to regain my senses back and then do that all over again. They weren't planning to give me easy or quick death. But then after a couple of sessions, they untied me dressed me and filled my limp body in a car. I smirked at one of the men sitting beside me "Changing scenery for our future sessions". That got me another punch. I laughed even in pain. I am telling you these Russians have the worst sense of humor.

They took me to a deserted warehouse. We were standing like we were waiting for someone. Had they invited someone special from Russia to torture me. Well good because they are clearly failing in their job.

But then a car drove inside and there was Dante, my men and Barbara in the car. What is she doing here. She looked like she cried a lot, her eyes were swollen and red. Tears fall down her eyes when our gazes meet. Looking at her warmed my heart and the pain of torture was gone. The real torture was to be away from her. These Russians torture couldn't hold a candle in front of it.

But it's not what I am thinking right Dante would never give a woman for my life. How could he agree for this. I was so angry. I growled in fury "Dante how could you do this you should have left me to die and never done this deal".

Arkadi said something about exchange but I won't do it. Barbara started walking. I didn't, I would gladly die to save her, I would never ever give her away to save my life. I could never let anyone harm her. But Arkadi said he would shoot her. I didn't have any options. I started walking, I will kill Dante with my own hands for putting me and her in this situation.

When she hugged me the world stopped. It was just her and me. I was in pain because my bruises were hurting under her strong grip. But it felt good. It felt so good, pain never felt this amazing. She was crying across my chest. I would kill each and everyone in the room who caused these tears. But then she told me to take a gun from behind her jeans. I smirked, Dante hasn't loosened his cunningness after all.

The shooting began. I was guarding Barbara with my body. But then from somewhere a bullet hit her and she screamed. That broke me. That bullet fu*king broke me in the way Bratva bastards couldn't.

I couldn't hear anything, anyone. I took her in my arms. The pain that I never felt filled my chest. Then Arkadi was standing beside her telling her that she was his daughter. I was shocked that he was getting insane with his age. What is this drama now.

I didn't care I just wanted her to be safe. I took her in my arms and put her in the car. "Dante drive to the hospital, you better be quick". She left her consciousness, I was constantly checking her breathing and slapping her cheek to regain her senses but she wasn't responding. I was kissing her nose and forehead "I will not let anything happen to you sweetheart, I will keep you safe, just hold on". She was only hit on her arm but she had lost a lot of blood. What if she couldn't make it. My eyes are burned at the thought, am I crying.

When we reached the hospital I rushed with her in my arms towards an emergency. Nurses took her in I.C.U. in a stretcher and didn't allow me in.

After a few minutes Arkadi also came with his men. I am going to kill him later, but right now only Barbara matters. I was watching her being operated through a small window. I never left the spot even for a moment.

When doctor came out after the operation and told me she was out of danger I took my first breath of relief.
I rushed inside the room. Arkadi came too. I will rip his head off if he keeps going with his nonsense father daughter story. Why the fu*k is he doing that anyway.

He told his entire story. Apparently he was in love with Kiara, Barbara's mother and Barbara is her daughter.

I was shocked and speechless. Barbara was like that too. She didn't speak, she was frozen, but her heartbeat was going crazy. Nurses rushed to call the doctor. The doctor rushed in to check her nurses kicked everyone in the room out.

We were waiting outside. My eyes met Arkadi. How is that possible how could he be the father of Barbara. He is the boss of the Russian mafia and I am the capo of the Italian mafia. This whole thing is so fu*ked up.
