WHO WILL SAVE YOU NOW • MICHAEL GRAY x READER

Chapter 7

Chapter 7

The first thing you did after opening your eyes was desperately gasp for air. The darkness around you was replaced by a beautifully decorated room. It looked quite fancy, indicating that your location was a house of somebody who owned quite a lot of money. When you tried to move you failed to do so due to the ropes that were used to tie up your hands and legs. You felt yourself panicking, unsure what to do to get out of the situation you were in. Someone would surely start looking for you when they noticed you were gone. The only problem was that no one knew where you were, including yourself.

The door flew open and you saw Sabini walk inside with his most trusted employee. The smile on Sabini's face indicated that he was very glad to see that you had been caught. After all, you were a valuable asset and a very powerful tool for negotiations. Kidnapping the daughter of one of the most powerful gangsters in Birmingham was surely a way to gain what he wanted. Every other parent would give their life for their child, yet as you sat on the stool you wondered whether the same applied to your father. There was a time in your life where you knew that he would do and give up anything for you, but ever since the death of your mother you weren't so sure. There was a huge strain between you and him like you were responsible for your mother's death which was not true at all. And as you sat on the stool you wondered whether your father would do anything to save you.

"Y/N Pierce. I have to say, this turned out even better than I expected it to."Sabini mumbled, grabbing a cigar and lighting it as he stood in front of you, his smile never leaving his face. It was more like a grin really; everything had gone according to his excpectations. Or like he had previously said, it turned out even better than excpected which left you feeling quite uneasy.

"Now the question is, what to do with you? Your father agreed to my terms, but that doesn't mean that I can't have some fun with you before letting you leave. After all, I didn't say anything about you missing a limb or two." He announced, taking a drag of his cigar before it hit your skin, making you let out a high pitching scream.

IIIIIIIIII

"Sir, Thomas and Arthur Shelby are here to see you." Lucas announced as he stepped into your father's cabinet. He was sitting behind his desk, his arms spread wide on the table as he stared in front of him. For a second there was complete silence as Lucas stared at your father, unsure whether Raimond had heard what he had said or not.

"Sir, The Shelb-" He started again, but stopped when Raimond Pierce grabbed his drink from the table and downing it in one go. He jumped up, walking out of the room and past Lucas. As he entered the main hall he saw Thomas and Arthur Shelby stand still, their eyes fixated on him. Without even blinking he went to Thomas as he grabbed him by his collar, inches away from hitting him which he desperately wanted to do.

"You were supposed to watch over her." Raimond exclamed as he stared into Tommy's cold blue eyes. There was no emotion in Tommy's eyes, yet he did feel guilty, not that he would admit that to anyone. He was supposed to watch over you, but he let his own vendetta get the best of him. Now, because of that, you were missing as no one had no idea where your were. If anything happened to you he wouldn't forgive himself. Besides, that would mean a war on his hands, more innocent blood on his hands which he couldn't bear to think about.

From the corner of his eyes Raimond Pierce saw Arthur step closer to him, ready to tear him off of Thomas. Thomas on the other hand did not even blink and for a second Raimond was sure that he did indeed want to get punched. Instead he let go of him, stepping away from Thomas and turning his attention towards Arthur.

"Sabini called me an hour ago. He wants 10,000 pounds for Y/N." He announced, his hand going through his hair as he let out a loud sigh.

"I'm going to meet him in half an hour.

IIIIIIIIII

A tear slipped down your cheek when Sabini stared deep into your eyes, a smirk on his face. Yet as you stared at him the only thing you wished was that your hands were free so that you could wipe away that tear. You were Y/N Pierce, and letting Sabini see you cry was humiliating to say the least. Sabini stepped away from you, turning his back towards you as he went over to a desk, taking a glass before smashing it against the table. Small pieces of glass flew everywhere before he picked up one of the small pieces, wrapping his handkerchief around it before walking back to you. He placed the glass onto your cheek, and as on cue you closed your eyes. You were scared, terrified even and couldn't dare to open your eyes. He applied slight pressure onto the glass, but not enough to cut into your cheek.

"Tell me Y/N, who will save you now?" He asked, a chuckle escaping his lips. You didn't reply, desperately waiting for the pain to come. But it didn't. Instead you heard a loud thud and as you sat in the stool you were hoping that when you opened your eyes you would see your father standing in front of you. But when you opened them the first thing you saw was Sabini lying on the ground, the back on his head bloody. For a second you thought he was dead before you saw his chest slowly moving.

The second thing you saw was Sabini's trusted employee also lying on the ground a couple of feet away from you. You couldn't detect any visible wounds on him which led you to believe that he was drugged or something of that sort. The third thing you saw was an unknown man, all in black, staring at you. In his hands was a bloody gun, probably the one that he used to hit Sabini with. For a couple of seconds the two of you stared at each other, him completely quiet while you tried to slow your breathing down.

Without any warning he started walking towards you, and when he reached you he cut off the ropes around your hands before doing the same to the ropes around your feet. The man was quiet, not saying anything or not even paying slight attention to you. The second he cut you loose you grabbed your wrists, wincing in pain, yet trying to hide it as well as you could.

"Did the Shelby's send you?" You asked, looking at him. His instant reply was a smirk appearing onto his face before he hid it, taking Sabini's handkierchief and wiping the barrel of his gun clean.

"You can tell your father that Mr. Solomons will contact him to figure out the reward for saving you." He said before walking out of the door, leaving you all alone into the room with an unconcious Sabini and his employee.
