Abducted By Lust *Book 1 of the Köhler Series*

Connections

Luca wanted to hear Victor's claims. Especially if that meant he knew who could have been behind this mess. It wasn't a game he wanted to play, and neither of them had the time or the energy to fight over dumb shit. His only plans were to find the enemy and kill them, and he didn't know who it might be. "Well, out with it! Who is it?"

"Well, I think I know who it is. Saxon could be your cousin, figuratively speaking. Lina was to be your aunt, and I believe he was her son. I only met the woman once, but Mila introduced us, and she told me she was your aunt. I didn't believe it because you looked nothing like the woman for her to be your mother's twin, and now I see why." Victor spoke, making Axel scratch the back of his head. It seemed he wasn't buying the story or knew something different than what Vic spoke of. But this also meant Lina knew about Mila's secret.

"That's not all... once he woke in my basement, the fool rambled about not letting his mother down. Or he let her down something along those lines. I just thought he was crazy and talking out of his head because I had him drugged. I know he mentioned something about Mila having something over his head, and using him to shoot Luca, rape Adele, and killing Liam was an accident. No one was supposed to be in the home other than Adele and the guards. I think there may be a connection, Luca. What if Lina somehow knew Mila's secret and was using it to control her? Or forced her to do it."

"I thought the same thing, but it still doesn't excuse what she did. See if you and Kel can dig up more information on Lina. Like whom she's married to, if she is, and any other children she may have. I want an address and a full bio of the bitch and Penelope. Saxon, too, if you can get it. I need the rest of you to do a full sweep of all our homes and report back with what you find."

Everyone nodded as Luca thought back about what Lina told his wife. She warned that Mila wanted him, but that was a decoy, causing Adele to be paranoid about the wrong situation. None of it was about him, but it didn't matter, still the bitch was crazy. That much he knew for sure. No one forced Mila to rape his father, she did that on her own and for a different reason, but one thing was sure. All the attacks were masterminded by someone else, and it didn't matter how Victor tried to spin it. Everything Mila did was of her own free will.

"I'm sorry, Vic, but the shit Mila did was her acting on what she wanted. No one forced her into shit. Mila didn't let anyone tell her what to do, but I believe someone knew her secret and held it over her head. Still, it had to be someone she trusted more than you or Saxon... like another family member. Axel, could there be a possibility somebody lived that day at the warehouse—"

"Or someone got away," Luca spoke, cutting off Erik, making the man shrug as they watched Axel ponder their questions. It was possible since he was running off of adrenaline, and there was no way he could keep an eye on his surroundings. If it was a possibility something like that could have happened, Luca needed to know, but he was sure everyone his father left lying on the floor was dead, and if they weren't. They died when Axel blew up the place. No one had enough time to make it out unless they ran beforehand.

"It that happened. I have no idea who it could have been."

"Then it's research time. Victor, you claim to be a genius at this. Let me see you work your magic. Barbra, how well are you digging into people's past? I know Victor is going to need help."

"Luca, I'm a psychiatrist, not a hacker..."

"That's not what he means, Ma. He wants you to read over people's medical records." Exactly, Luca needed someone who could decipher anything with medical terminology. Most mafia stuff was written up as if a doctor did it, but slightly different. He could decipher codes, but it was time he didn't have. "Then I can do that."

"Good... Then, let's see what we can find and who we need to kill. Just to let you all know, I don't give a damn who this may be. They came for my family, and I will kill them like so. Everyone you see in this room at this moment is my family, and if I don't see you on a daily basis, then it's a fuck you, and they die."
