Ruthless (BOOK III) COMPLETE

CHAPTER 24

HAYDIN

*SLAP*  My head forced to the right with the slap she gave me. "How could you let him find the microphones!?" She slapped me again, this time making me bleed. "Nora, this isn't going to make her talk." I spit blood out. "He saw the damn microphone! I think you forget he's the fearless leader in the world. Of course he's going to notice little things!" She choked me up against the wall. "What did you whisper in his ear?" Her nails dug into my cheek. Lie Haydin. "I told him that I want nothing to do with him," she let go of my face and paced back and forth. "What do you need me for? You've already taken the one thing that meant the most to him, what does keeping me here have to do with him?" She smirked at me. "Oh dear Petra, you have yet to understand why you are here,"

She looked up at the men who held my arms. "Take her to the dungeon." She walked away, leaving me kicking and screaming all the way down to the dungeon. They chained me to a wall, leaving me there, screaming for help.

"No one can hear you, it's soundproof." I looked over to the corner and saw a woman who was bruised and dirty. "Wh-who are you?" She faced me, and I gasped. She had bruises lining her face. "Y-you're......"

"Alaina Vincenzo."

"So let me get this straight, Haydin is living with the bitch herself to protect us? What the hell is she protecting us from?" I ran my fingers through my already disheveled hair. "She couldn't explain it to me there. They had her bugged so she was only able to get some information out before the Russians came looking for her." Dad paced back and forth. "Why is she taking it this far after 10 years? What is she planning? That's what we need to figure out first."

"I need to find Haydin and get her out of there before she ends up getting herself killed." I pulled out my phone and dialed a number. "Well it's about time you called, you know I was beginning to worry that you started being a pussy." I rolled my eyes. "I need you to get here as fast as you can Aurora." She sighed, and mumbled something under her breath. "Fine. I'll be there within an hour." She cut the call. I faced my family again. "We're gonna get Haydin back, and we're going to rid the world of every Smirnov that walks this Earth."

I didn't get the chance to tell her how I felt back. Fuck. This is why I never get attached to women. My love died when my mother died. What if her love is just as equal as the love your mother gave you? I shook the thought out of my head, and focused on the task at hand, and that was killing the Russians starting with Nora ending with every single Russian that had something to do with my mothers death. But there's something at the back of my mind here. My mother. She had blonde hair when she died, and the picture at the gala, she had dark hair. What the fuck?
