Escaping him (On Hold)

CHAPTER 27

"Listen damn it, I have distracted Rico for a few hours so all you have to do is take her to the doctor's appointment and I'll do the rest like we planned." I heard the other person on the line say.

"Okay boss, anything else?" My bodyguard James replied.

"Just make sure the baby is okay or we will lose Rico forever and that means your life." I heard James sigh and not say anything else.

I woke up with a jolt. I looked around the room remembering where I was.

"Who hired James to try and kill me?" I whispered to myself.

The man on the other line didn't sound like Giorgi or Don from what I could hear. Don wanted Naledi dead which is why it didn't make sense that he wanted her safe.

I sighed and got out of bed. I showered and wore a silk robe.

I took a deep breath and left my room. I walked to the changing room and picked out a red lingerie set. As I was putting the bralette on, Sofia ran in.

"Girls go to your rooms and those who don't have a room must stay in someone's room." She breathlessly said.

"What is going on?" I asked in confusion.

"I don't have time to explain. Just know that shit is going down." She managed to wheeze out before bolting out of the room.

I discarded the bralette for my robe and walked out of the room. I headed to my room and stood by the door, hesitant to go in.

"Why is this happening all of a sudden? Something isn't right." I said to myself. I turned away from my door and walked into the direction of the dungeon. Sofia did say that shit was going down and I wanted to know what it was.

I calmly descended the stairs that lead to the dungeon and stopped when I heard a commotion. I peeped around from my position and saw Don sitting on an arm chair holding a whiskey in his hand. The man towering over him caught my attention.

"Where is she?" He demanded.

My breath caught in throat at his words. He was better and he was there for me. It was happening.

Don laughed unbothered by the gun that was pointed at his head.

"Donatore I am not playing games. Where the fuck is she!" He roared in the empty bar.

He smirked menacingly. "Wouldn't you like to know."

Marco took the safety off his gun and aimed it at Don's cock. "I will not hesitate to shoot you..." the rest of his threats were in Italian and I huffed in frustration.

Don flashed a grin. "If I remember correctly, this is what you wanted; her working and making you a shit ton of money. What changed?"

"I'm not discussing this with you. You know what changed." He growled. Don knew that he hit a nerve and he wasn't letting Marco forget that.

"I'll tell you where she is only after we talk about her." He looked at me with a smirk. I quickly moved out of sight. He knew I was there and he was taunting me.

I took a peak to see Marco sit down.

"Marco you know that she's supposed to be here because you planned all of this. Why did you rescue her when Giorgi took her?"
