A Good Girl's Confession

Chapter 23: I'm Hurt. Deep Down Here!

*Drake's POV*

As my sunlit room starts to creep through me, I can feel the adrenaline fueling up my consciousness. My eyelids alertly flung open as I scan my surroundings. And a very familiar scent wash away the remaining sleepiness I have.

I turn towards her direction and I find myself face-to-face with the most beautiful girl I have seen in her morning face. Her sleeping self is nothing but pure innocence and peace. The paleness of her skin being kissed by the sun looks like a shimmering alabaster. The small movement of her lips as she breathes look so damn cute that I find myself smiling.

When I'm about to slide off my bed because I want to cook Lauren a special breakfast, my phone buzzed. The screen flashes an unknown number and I picked it up, curiousity flaring.

"Hello?" I answered hesitantly.

[Well well! If it's not the high and mighty little Constanza]

The malicious voice on the other line taunted me. I can feel the impulsive thing inside me protesting. I'm just containing my anger since I should stop.acting out of impulse.

Before I have my response, I walk out of the room afraid of waking up Lauren.

"Who is this?", I respond calmly trying to be so sure of my choice of words, as I trodded towards the wine cellar that me and the BBG members used to hang out with when were 11.

[Care to sold a soul to the devil?]

He responds that makes the hair on my back stand. I'm really talking to the devil himself. The well-known mafia leader of Japan. The adoptive grandfather of Mariah and the foster father of the one I nearly killed when Keith was ambushed. I can't find my tongue to answer. Even my cool has left me at instant.

"Stop beating around the bush Ishiru! Tell me what you fucking need", I hissed not able to contain my ill-feelings.

[Whoah! Getting feisty already huh? Don't you dare use that kind of tone on me! Your father may be on move for your family's safety but who knows. Don't push me so hard Brayden! Leave Lauren's parents alone!]

"And what if I don't huh? Your hitting the wrong family Ishiru!", I said proudly.

He let out a full of humor laugh. "Don't be so sure little Constanza! I've been in a mafia world for 20 years and nothing like you can put me down", he also responds in pure confidence.

"Then bring it on. I'll always be on tge ready. Just do remember! I'm always one step ahead of you", I said before shutting the phone off.

I may be an 18 year old boy, but underestimating me is not really the best option to choose.

Game on! I will do everything just to bring Lauren's life back. And if even I would stand again a devil incarnation, I would never ever back down. I'm a Constanza and it's a shame if only some sort of an expert mafia man would made me bowed down on my knees.

With my game face on, I trodded towards my room to check if Lauren's up. I also send a message to all my boys and let them know the real situation. Now that's everything has changed and the fight is no longer between only Ishiru and I, he had made a war that would away his life.

As I have entered my door password, an empty room greeted me. Lauren is nowhere to be found and I know that there is only one person who stole her.

"Dyl? Stop kidnapping my girlfriend, can you?", I said on the video access of Dylan's room. Everuthing I said outside will be heard through that screen.

I waited for an answer, but there's none! I can't barely get when did she take Lauren on this early time in the morning. My sister is really annoyingly crazy most of the time. She's 20, yet she acts like an 11 year old girl.
