Fire And Ice (Lost&Found Series)✔

42. KNOCKS ON THE DOOR

XENIA'S POV:

"Xenia." I hear Xander call my name.

I look up from the floor and directly into his eyes silently acknowledging him.

"Will you be able to deal with it all?" he asks.

"I lost my entire family. This is nothing." I reply pointing towards the room.

He nods and leaves me alone once again in his home office.

Michael's family still was not ready to believe that Adrian is dead so I told them that I would take them to the cemetery tomorrow.

Michael himself was locked away in a cell next to his sister's.

"XENIA!" The door bursts open after a few minutes and somebody pushes my body towards the floor in a flash and I hear a gunshot echoing through the empty office which was followed by the sound of glass breaking.

I gasp and look up to see Xander shielding my body with his.

"Cazzo." he cursed.

The bullet had pierced through the window of his office. Had he been even a second late, I would have been shot and dead probably.

"Are you alright?" he asks checking my body for any bruises.

I nod silently and ask "What is going on?"

"I received a call two minutes ago from Levi Marinato. He threatened to kill you and finish us all. That fucker. He knows that Michael has been captured." he informs.

"I want it to be over Xan, as soon as possible." I say.

"It will be." he nods and embraces me.

I close my eyes and relish the moment. I don't know if we will be doing this in the upcoming days.

"They are coming, Xenia." Xander whispers.

"Let's face them." I say after a long pause.

He says nothing in return rather holds me closer to him for another moment before finally releasing me and taking me out of the room.

"Is she alright?" Leo comes running from the other end of the hallway.

"Yeah." Xander replies.

Leo looks at me for confirmation and I nod my head with a small smile. None of them knows about my pregnancy yet.

"Leo, prepare the men. Tell them it's time." Xander commands.

Leo stiffens yet mumbles a small 'yes' before charging in the opposite direction.

"I am-" I start but Xander cuts me off.

"Scared. I know. Do not worry I will be there with you on every step of the way." he reassures.

I nod and we make our way towards the basement and into Michael's cell.

"Bring Amanda here." I order the guard.

"Guess you got the call." Michael laughs.

"Of course you would tell him before coming back here. One loyal dog you are." I smirk at him.

His face turns into an unpleasant scowl at my statement.

"So Michael, why did you betray us?" Xander asks taking a seat on an empty chair in front of him.

He shrugs in response.

"Oh don't give me that 'I woke up one day and decided I wanted to put my loyalty elsewhere' crap." Xander says.

Before he could reply, the door opens and a guard drags Amanda inside and throws her to the floor.

Michael starts to struggle against his restraints as soon as he sees her. Her droopy eyes land on her brother and tears well up in them.

I walk towards her and remove the gag from her mouth.

"Go on. Ask him." I encourage her.

"D-di-did you really do th-that?" she asks looking at him with hope in her eyes.

She was still hoping that what we told her was a big fat lie. Silly girl. Does not she know that hope is a dangerous thing. It could destroy your mental peace.

"They are lying to you." he shook his head.

"Fuck off Michael. Tell her the truth." I spit.

"I. Did. Not." he grits his teeth.

"The truth." Xander growls.

"Like I said-" he starts again but Xander gets up from his chair causing it to scrape against the stony floor and grabs Amanda by the hair taking out his gun and aiming it at her temple.

"Fucking tell the truth." Xander shouts.

"Fine. I did it." he shouts back in the same pitch.

Pregnant pause.

"You bastard! Did you know what I had to go through because of you? Just because I am your fucking sister." she cries.

"Do not worry. They won't live long." Michael chuckles.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"The Russians are of course coming." he replies looking smug.

"I will give you a fate worse than death. You would wish you had not done that." I grit my teeth and walk towards him with pliers in my hand.

He smirked "You can act tough all you want. You and I both know little Xenia can't do it." he cooed, disgustingly.

I returned his smirk "Whatever the fuck helps you calm your non-existent balls."

He frowned and within a second I took the gun out of my waistband and shot him in the balls, clearing his confusion.

His girlish screams echoes in the entire basement making me cringe in disgust.

Xander thrusts Amanda away and stand silently in a corner for a while.

"You know we killed both of the people who were spying on us and giving you information which you were trading to Russia in return for money of course." Xander informs.

Michael pales at this but does not open his mouth.

"And we will win. You remember that." His voice drops to a lower, threatening level.

Michael gulps and struggles against the chains once again before hissing in pain.

"Leave her alone." Michael breathes out.

"She stays." Xander growls.

The next day I took Cheryl to the cemetery needless to say, it was catastrophic.

Right now I was sitting next to Angelina in the back garden and sipping on our tea quietly.

"I really love your son. He means everything to me and more." I sigh.

"I can see it." she smiles placing her hand above mine.

"Angel I am pr-" I was interrupted by the sound of multiple gunshots.

The door to the backyard slid open and one of the men came in our view panting heavily he said those dreading words "They are here."
