HATE AND DESIRES (mafia enemies to lovers romance )

CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR

Vi's PoV:

I wake up with a sharp pain in the back of my head. I try to move my hands but they're tied to the arms of the chair I rest in.

I look around to see that I'm in some kind of basement.

My heartbeat quickens.

No, this is not the time for a panic attack. I breathe deeper to calm myself down.
Let's just say I don't have a good experiences with basements like these.

Now that I think about it, it looks familiar. Don't tell me....

I try to struggle out of the chair but it doesn't work. I look up in the corner. It's dark but I can see a little light. It must be a camera.

That means...

The door opens and a masked man walks through.

"Finally awake." He says.

"Let me out of here." I demand.

"But you just got here." The asshole mocks me.

He comes closer to me. Then he looks at my hand and takes off my alert bracelet.

"Can't have that happening again."

"So they were your friends, the guys who kidnapped me before? Gotta say, you need better ones. I can still remember their screams as I killed each one slowly." I try to appear confident.

"Do you know who I am?" He asks.

"Yeah. You're king, right? You're the one the guy we captured identified."

"Yes well, you got it wrong. I'm not king, I'm his most trustworthy server. Dan Sayers." He says.

Then he takes off his mask and I immediately recognise the face. He's the guy who captured me when I was little.

"Remember me?" He asks, smirking.

I gulp. My breathing getting faster.

"You've grown into a fine woman since then. I wonder how you'll feel.." he says as he walks around me.

Then he comes upto me and brings his face close to mine. I want to throw up. I turn my face to the side as I find it difficult to breathe.
"Not yet. There's much more I he needs to do."
He says.

"Who?" I ask. "Who is he?"

"You'll know soon." He says and walks out.

I start to hyperventilate. I try to calm my self down.
Name things I can see. Feel.
Chair, Zip tie on my hands, My necklace....the one that Alex gifted me....

Wait.

My necklace. I remember Alex telling me about it.

Flashback:

"Good morning, Vi." He looks at me. We just woke up.

"Hi.." I say tired.

"Where's the necklace I gave you?" He asks. Looking at my neck.

"I took it off." I say as a matter of fact.

"Don't take it off again. Wear it." He says looking concerned.

"Why?" I ask.

"Because it's not just a necklace. It's a safety device. I designed it myself. It's like your alert bracelet. Except, this one will not only tell me your location but also, once you press it when you're in danger, I'll be connected to my systems and I'll be able to hear everything around you through a speaker hidden in it." He explains.
