Our angel

Fifty seven

A/n: TRIPLE UPDATE WHAT😱

My head is killing me. I'm not sure how I've been able to feel pain and hear but I've been laying here a while.

I haven't fully regained consciousness yet but as I said I can hear what's going on. I haven't heard Santiago's voice yet but the men were mentioning him, he's definitely in this cell with me.

My eyebrows furrow together as my eyes slowly peel open. I'm met with the sight off a crusty, cracked ceiling. Typical of the Russians can't even look after their property.

As I slowly sit up I begin to take in my surroundings. I'm in a dungeon type room, locked with a metal door.

"Fantastic" I whisper to myself before closing my eyes. Although I haven't been here before this room has a very nostalgic feeling about it and not in a good way.

Suddenly the sound of groaning enters my ear shot. I whip my head, too fast as it still hurts, to see Santiago pushing himself up from a lying position.

He looks like crap. Fresh blood drips down his face not to mention his busted lip. What the hell did they do to him.

He suddenly sits up right in panic and searches the room but when his eyes land on mine he relaxes.

"Arianna are you hurt, I swear I'll kill those bastards" he tries to shuffle over to me but groans in pain holding his rib. Broken rib or internal bleeding. Who knows.

"Santiago I'm fine don't stress your body, although my head hurts like a bitch. I will be catching that asshole who wacked me across the head... twice" I utter as the memories come flooding back.

Santiago lets out a weak laugh followed by a cough. "You're funny" he tries to say but it comes out croaky.

I'm about to reply when the sound of voices and rustling can be heard from behind the door. "Go and get my brother, they're awake" a familiar accented voice speaks.

Me and Santiago spare a glance at each other, both recognising that voice. Igor is here and so is Anotaly... am I really going to see him again, after all this time.

The door is suddenly pushed open and a group of 5 men walk into the room. Santiago averts his gaze however I don't. I keep my head high.

"Well well well, the prodigies are finally awake" Igor mumbles smiling down at the two of us. Igor has never really bothered me, it's clear Anotaly is the mastermind even though Igor is the boss. How pathetic.

I keep my mouth shut observing the men. I don't recognise any of the men apart from one. Charles DuPont, French mafia don. He's working with the Russians which isn't surprising in the slightest. I knew he was a slimy bitch from the start.

"Now now Arianna, we've known each other for years and yet you choose to ignore me" Igor laughs before taking a step towards me.

"Get away from her freak" Santiago suddenly interrupts. I look over at him to see him getting onto his feet.

My eyes go wide as Santiago raises his hand and punches Igor directly in the face. Igors head whips to the side in shock of what just happened.

Of course Santiago is suddenly pistol whipped by one of Igors men. He falls to his knees but manages to stay conscious.

"Hey you big bastard, do that again and I'll kill you" I yell to the man who goes to hit Santiago again. He laughs before putting his gun away and backing off.

"I didn't expect such Hostility from Luis son" Charles speaks in a fake posh accent. I can't stand his bitch ass.

"Do you think we'd be friendly with someone who sucks their brothers dick and a good for nothing traitor " I scoff staring at the two.

Ivgor looks insulted but Charles is the first to react. He walks over to me before grabbing my neck pinning me to the nearest wall.

"You should have respect for me little girl, I'm the only one here against killing you... but that might change if you say anything like that again" he growls. I look in disgust as a piece of spit connects with my cheek. Disgusting.

"Add wife and child beater to that list as well" I chuckle much to Charles resentment. He lets go of my neck, only to send a backslap across my face. I react as one of his rings scratches my face.

"Charles enough, my brother wants her unharmed" Igor interrupts glaring at Charles who looks like he's about to burst a vein.

"I'm proud of you Igor, for once you're giving out commands instead of having them shoved down your throat by Anotaly.. it's about time you grew a backbone" I utter wiping the blood off my face.

"You little-" Igor begins to growl but is cut off by Santiago's obnoxious laugh. At least he's present.

"Anna, you're too much" he states before lifting his head up, staring directly into my eyes. He looks crazy right now, with blood dripping down past his hazel eyes. He's sweating so his hair falls over his forehead. Why is that.... Kind of hot.

"As you said Santiago, I'm a funny person" I utter shuffling closer to him. I'm nearly close enough to touch him.

"What's funny is these clowns expect us to take them seriously.. as you said they're clearly stuck in Anotalys ass" Santiago chuckles before taking a shallow breaths.

"ENOUGH" Igor yells shocking me slightly. I suddenly feel myself being hauled up by the arm and pushed over to the other side of the room.

"Both of you shut up and listen" Igor says before a bunch of guns are pointed in mine and Santiago's direction. "Don't move".

Suddenly the door to the room is pushed open. An eerie silence falls across the room and I know exactly who's entered the party.

This time my head automatically lowers to the floor. I hear a few breaths hitch as slow footsteps begin to approach me.

Someone's standing over me. All of a sudden movement can be heard and a rough hand grabs my chin lifting my head up.

I'm overwhelmed by the smell of alcohol, cologne and cigarette smoke. A smell I know too well. A smell which haunts my dreams.

"Beautiful Arianna, open your eyes for me" a gravelly voice stings my ears. I already feel panic arise in me and before I can stop myself I open my eyes to be met with the monster that ruined my life.

Anotaly Volkov.
