Chapter 36: "If you can't kill the dealer, steal his most valuable possession"

A/N: That jaw clench *swoon*

**//**

Jordan

My jaw dropped wide open as I scanned my now destroyed home.

It was entirely covered in flames and smoke. There were police cars in sight and firefighters had just arrived. A barricade tape surrounded the premises and Marianna was nowhere in sight.

I rush to the nearest cop, in absolute panic and worry.

"What happened?" I yell

"Sir, please calm down_"

"Calm down? My house is in flames!" I exclaim

His expression sterns.

"One of the neighbours called about half an hour ago about a rising fire next door. When we got here, it was practically engulfed in flames" He says in a monotone voice

"What was the cause?" I ask

"Unknown, but we did find a huge hole in the living room wall"

"Where's Marianna?" I ask

"Who?"

"A girl-the girl-she was in there-I left her in there" I stutter

"Sir...the house was empty"

"No no no no" I repeat as I pull at my blond strands of hair

My eyes widen as realization hits me.

"That son of a bitch" I spit

"Execuse me" The cop retorts

Ignoring him, I march back into my car before slamming it shut.

I furiously dial a number into my phone before pressing it against my ear.

"Hello, Mr.Silk how may I help_"

"Book me a flight to Chicago"

"Sir is everything alri_"

"Now!" I hiss

"Of course sit, I'll get on it right away"

Jackson

Loud talking coming from outside my office catches my attention.

I look up from my paperwork in confusion.

"Move the fuck out of my way!" I hear a male voice yell

My door slams open and Jordan comes marching in, pure anger radiating from him.

He scowls at me before stopping a few feet in front of my desk.

"Where the fuck is she?"

"Who?" I ask

"You know exactly who the fuck I'm talking about?" He yells

I raise an eyebrow.

"Who pissed in your boat? Calm down" I chuckle

He marches around my desk and pulls me out of my chest by my collar.

I push him off of me almost immediately.

"I know you took her, Jackson.

We had a deal" He hisses

"Marianna?" I question

"Who the fuck else!"

"I thought she was with you" I answer

He lets out a chuckle.

"You think I believe you?" He spits

"You don't have to believe me_"

He pushes all of my stuff off of my desk.

"Listen here, and listen good, Jackson. You have five minutes to return me what's mine_"

"If I had Marianna, you think I'd bother to hide it? I'd rub it in your face" I hiss

"Who else would take her? huh!"

"I don't fucking know. You lost her, not me" I defend

He spins around as he furiously tugs at his hair.

"I'm gonna kill whoever took her, I swear to go_"

"The more time you spend dwelling on the matter, the higher the chances are that she's dead"

He freezes before slowly turning around to face me.

His eyes widen.

"What?" I snap

"Antario" he whispers

My eyes widen.

"No, that's impossible. He's vanished off fo the face of the earth"  I reason

"Think about it. He's been out to get you for decades now"

I shake my head.

"What would Marianna have to do with this?"

"If you can't kill the dealer, steal his most valuable possession" He says

"Marianna?" I question

he nods.

I slowly sit back down.

"But, why her? I mean_"

"Because you love her"

I look up at him.

"Nonsense!" I spit bitterly

"It's the truth Jackson"

"Shut up"I yell as I spring out of my seat and stand inches away from him.

He nods.

"I'm gonna go find her"

I scoff.

"Oh please, you know Antorio has never been seen before. No one knows what he looks like" I say

"I'm not gonna let him kill her" He says with determination

With that, he turns around and storms out of my office, leaving me standing there, in defeat.

Do I love her?

Of course not!

I don't love.

Marianna

I feel hot and warm at the same time.

I can't see anything.

Feel anything.

Or hear anything.

Where on earth am I?
