AMORE

Lina

"I like this hairstyle" Bella whispered to Lorenzo, as she stood in between his legs and combed her fingers through his hair.

"I like you" he answered and smirked as a blush adorned her cheeks. He pushed her into his lap and kissed her cheek softly.

"I am getting uncomfortable" Diego spoke from beside Lorenzo and stood up from the couch they were sharing. Scar and Jasmine laughed, but were quickly hushed by Marco.

"Shut up Diego. Can't you see that we are doing something important" Marco scolded Diego, even though he was talking to everyone who was laughing. Khalid nodded to show agreement and started typing away on the phone.

Suddenly the whole atmosphere got serious again and Lorenzo stood up from the couch, settling Bella on his previous place. She admired as her lover came into work mode and rolled up his sleeves, revealing his muscular arms.

"Where is Adam?" he asked and looked at Khalid.

"He is outside in the warehouse giving out weapons. Our helper Ismail is there too so it's okay" Khalid answered, to which the drug lord nodded.

This was the moment Lina was supposed to call Lee and tell him about her abduction. She was nervous and everyone could tell by the way she flickered her gaze to Marco with fear. He tried to console her by rubbing her back, but it wasn't working. The whole team was ready and the weapon was being delivered to the men. Adam was working expertly and shouting out orders outside, while the others were surrounded in the living room. Jasmine had packed her bags and was being sent off to a hiding place outside Tabriz. Khalid didn't want to risk her and their childs life.

"What do I say?" she asked and looked at Lorenzo. She stood up from her seat and walked to him, but he pointed to the door; "Let's talk about it in there. come with, fratello" and walked off to where Lee couldn't hear anyone in the background.

The rest of the people were left in the living room and they started saying their farewells to Jasmine. she hugged everyone and even tried to convince Bella to accompany her. However, that didn't quite work. She had promised her Renzo that she would go back home with him and with that in mind, she hugged Jasmine closer and bid her farewell.

it was the sight of Jasmine leaving that made Adam halt in his steps outside. He stopped Ismail and muttered an; "I will be back" before picking up a gun. He started walking towards the house and didn't step in before he saw Jasmine sit down in the car. Not wanting to use too much time, he ran towards the backside of the house until he stood on the other side of the warehouse door. he could hear the conversation Lina was having and could barely make out her words by how much she was sobbing and stuttering. He pressed his ear on the door, but didn't get a response.

He cussed and looked around quickly. No one was there. he waited for a good minute until he no longer heard the conversation. He sneaked into the warehouse and started looking around for the mobile they had used. While Adam was searching like a madman, Lina sighed in relief. She had done it and officially started the war.

Lorenzo walked in front of her and took long strides to the living room. "Come on" he ordered and started walking towards the warehouse where Ismail was done handing out weapons.

"TABRIZ" Khalid shouted loudly, snatching everyones attention for Lorenzo. Everyone got the hint and made a crowd so they could get the orders.

"We have made the phone call and before we know it, the Lees will be here for weapons. Everyone will go on as if nothing has happened and there will be no mention of us. Am I clear?" Lorenzo asked with authority and people said their words of agreement. Some simply nodded.

While the Italian mafia members started walking to their hiding space with Lina, the rest of the Tabriz pretended to go on with their normal daily jobs. Before they could separate though, Lorenzo held on to Bellas hand and whispered in her ear; "You remember the promise, don't you?" to which she nodded and pecked his lips before running off.

The chaos that had stormed in China was brutal. Lee spat orders to his men and ordered for every prisoner to die. He had simply fallen bored by torturing them and now he had found another hobby. To his knowledge, Lina was still alive and was kidnapped by the Italian mafia. He shouted for his men to fix him a jet to Iran. He was on his way to collect the weapons to kill both Lina and the Italians and then he would take their dear Isabella. Oh, how he would torture her in those cells. He smiled at the pure thought of that.

Evil thoughts didn't only lurk in Lees head, because Adam had just found the mobile. He laughed and threw his back. "Say bye to victory Khalid. Now you will know how it feels to be backstabbed" he muttered and found the number that Lina had just called. Before his finger could click the call button, a hand touched his shoulder startling him. Adam turned around quickly to get his breath hitched in his throat.
