Seeking Vengeance🔖

~8~ Bring out the guns

Dedicated to lystrandra. She wrote the very first book I read on wattpad. It was called "nerd in disguise: blood bound". It was awesome!

Surprise! Happy reading.

"So Giovanni, tell me about your wife and kids". Alcina asked awkwardly. Giovanni gave her a 'seriously?' look. Alcina was trying to stall him. In this little time, Giovanni had put on a tank top and shorts.

"Wait,why didn't you fall asleep when I gave you drink?" She asked seriously.

"It's simple dear. I never drank it". He shrugged as he walked to a drawer and pulled out a gun. "When you turned to check your phone, I spilled it. I knew something was up and..."

He was cut off by a thud outside the door.
"Alcina! Alcina!" Someone shouted from outside the room. It was Leonardo, he was banging on the door furiously trying to break it down. She siezed the opportunity and lounged at the door screaming for help.

"Leo! Help me! Help..". Giovanni grabbed her hair and yanked her back. Tears gathered in her eyes because the root of her hair stung. Her made her to face him, still holding her hair, he said.

"If you know what's good for you bitch, you'd shut up". Alcina struggled. His grip on her hair was painful. "Now move!" He dragged her to the closet and moved some clothes out of the way revealing a door.

A secret passage huh? Smart.

He gave the door a hard shove and it swung open revealing a descending flight of stairs. He made sure to bolt the door and just as he did, there was a bang from the other side of the door.

The walls were worn and there was dust everywhere. The place hadn't been used for a long time. The wooden stairs creaked and complained from the weight of the two of them. The stairs seemed to go on forever.

They finally got to another door. Giovanni tightened his grip on her hand before cautiously opening the door. Alcina found herself in an empty hallway, probably another wing of the massive mansion. Giovanni took the left dragging her along, her heels were inconveniencing her.

"You know I just intended to organise this little party to cool some steam. But Leonardo, poor little Leo just had to delve into my business..."

They ran into a group of five. And on impulse, they all took fight stances. Alcina guessed they were Leo's henchmen because they all lounged for Giovanni.

A hefty one in the group landed a blow square on Giovanni's jaw and he lost his grip on her wrist.
In his struggle, the flash drive fell out of his hand and Alcina snatched it off the floor as soon as she could. She took this opportunity to make a run for it, having no clue where she was heading to. She heard gunshots behind her but couldn't stop to look.

She found herself back in the grand ballroom. The room was in chaos. Everyone was fighting one or more people. No doubt the Moretti family against the Ricci's. As Alcina took in the sight in front of her, she never thought or imagined that she would ever find herself in the middle of a Mafia fight. In all the chaos, she spotted Elena's dark hair at the door where Giovanni had led her through to his room.

Seeing that being unarmed in this situation wasn't wise and made her vulnerable, she searched for a weapon of some sort. She picked a broken bottle, it wasn't much but it was something.

Keeping to the walls of the room, she made her way to Elena. Looking behind her, she saw Julian speaking to Giovanni. What could they possibly be speaking about right now? That was the least of her worries right now because as she turned back, she came face to face with a henchman.
