Devil's Daughter

Chapter 16

Blake's pov:
Flashback:

"Blake what do you mean we are done?" Valentina asks, her voice barely audible from small sobs that she lets out. I look at the broken girl who is sitting on her bed, tears of my own building in my eyes.

"We can't be together anymore mi vida." I whisper, not daring to make eye contact with her. "I'm sorry." I turn around, starting to leave the bedroom but a tug on my arm stops me.

"Stay, please." Val quietly whispers my back still facing her. "Please Blake I-I can change please." I force my gaze to the floor, bitting my lip and trying so hard to stop the tears that are ready to leave my eyes. I have to act cold towards her, it's the only way to save her and my family.

"I'm sorry Valentina." Calling her by her first name felt wrong, very wrong. With thise words I reluctantly left the bedroom, tears that spent so long building in my eyes finally escape and I barely make it to my car before I'm a sobbing mess.

"Fuck! Fuck!" I exclaim, hitting my steering wheel while sobbing. I feel so many things right now sad, angry, dissapointed but most of all empty as I know I will never have her again.

Somehow I managed to drive back to my bar, I hurriedly enter immediately walking over to the bar. "Two shots of whiskey." I order and the bartender nods. As he walks away I reach into my pocket looking at my AA chip for staying 6 months clean. Half of the duration of my and Valentina's
relationship. I toss it in the trash as my two shots arrive. "Keep them coming."

Present:

"Boss we got his location." One of my men says as I walk through the warehouse door.

"Hey you," one of the men passing by me immediately stops. "Get Val in here right now." He nods rushing away as I walk over where a computer is laid out with a location of a house.

"It's his house and we believe Lily is in there." One of the five men says.

"Blake what's going on?" Valentina says as she walks to us, clearly out of breath from the crying she's been doing.

"They got him."

"What?" She asks surprised. "Where?"

"His house ma'am." The man with brunette hair manages to reply first. "And we have footage of a SUV taking someone out of it while they are unconscious."

"Let me see." Val commands and the man turns his screen to her.

A video is in the late hours of the night and it showcases two men carrying Lily out of a SUV into the house. Her body looks almost lifeless. Valentina's head hangs down and i can tell she's fighting tears.

"Send us the address." I order and they nod. I place my hand on Valentina's back, rubbing it soothingly. "Let's go." I say.

"What?" She confusingly asks, her green eyes meeting mine now.

"Let's go get the son of a bitch that hurt your sister."
