"117 edan road" "harpers being tortured"
I didnt know whether to trust this man but if what he said was true I was going to rip whoever hurt her limb from limb. We now had a location and after he ended it I got to work. I called Logan and had him get our men ready, then I had the tech team look up the place. Then I grabbed max who was currently in the guest room with jess. After aria and the incident I explained everything and he felt bad knowing he went undercover and she did what she did due to it. It wasnt useless though we did find out that aria had married a year ago but after 3 months her husband filed for a divorce and left her penniless. After she became a contract killer and quickly learnt money.

Now we were all in position waiting to storm the place. We had no idea what to expect. "Max, logan with me. Ethan go with group B, Dylan and alec group c" I order and they do so. This was it.

We enter, it was quiet, too quiet. "Trap" max mouths questioning it.
"This is fucked up, I wont let you harm her again" a shout from upstairs came. Someone was here. "Upstairs" I mouth and point to max and logan to go. A few more men of mine come from a different entrance and I motion half of them to follow max and Logan. Yes we werent exactly sticking to the groups but they were mainly groups of entrance. Group B however had the place surrounded, if anyone left they would kill them. Group C used the back entrance.
I start to look in rooms with the help of some of the men. "Boss" I hear one of my men shout. Fuck. I said no shouting. I quickly made my way to him ready to reprimand him but hes stood next to a door, he had picked the lock and now held it wide open. "I think shes inside, someone is down there" he whispers. Fuck. The basement. I head down the stairs, I notice him walking behind me, his gun out as protection incase it was a trap. I felt immense pride of my men knowing they would fight for me even if I did treat them like shit over the past month. My gun was also pointed as I carefully walked down the steps. "Boss, a light" he says and flips a switch. A single lightbulb switched on and what I saw, i never wanted to see again. My sweetheart was laid covered in blood, her clothes torn. She was unconscious. "Boss" I turn around and glance at rob "yeah" I ask. "I'll let the guys know we found her" he says and i agree. He goes back up while I go towards Harper.
"Sweetheart" i shake her trying to wake her. She doesnt reply. I look at her closely and see her hair as been unevenly cut, like it was cut half way thro then stopped and cut again the other half, so uneven lengths. The fucker will pay. I pick her up, she barely weighed anything and I noticed her bones starting to stick out again. "You're safe now" I whisper and kiss her forehead. Fuck. As I do realization hits me. The hair, the cuts I did this to aria, granted I only cut her once but apart from that it was looking like it was her behind this. That means she took the anger out on my love. If I had never done what I did then Harper may not have been in this condition.
I reach the entrance and see all my men standing waiting, I notice dead guards scattered around. In front of max was aria and a guy, both tied and gagged. "Fuck" max exclaims and runs towards us. "This is my fault, if I had been there a few minutes earlier" he says looking down at her. "Dont, it wasnt your fault" I try to console him. "I'm so sorry harper" he reaches out to move a stray hair from her face but instinctively I pull her closer her, I couldnt help it. He surprisingly doesnt take offence and chuckles "I'm glad to see you dont plan on letting my sister go" and then turns and walks to aria and the guy. "This one admits he kidnapped her and aria was the one to plan it" he informs me. "Remove their gags" I order and they are removed. "You, who are you" I ask looking at the guy. "Sam sir, aria found me a while back promised me 1 million if I helped her get back with her ex, I signed a contract, I was desperate for money I didn't realise it meant kidnapping" he quickly said. That voice, he was the guy who rang me. "You're the one who called me, why" I say. "I heard your girl scream, I never ever want to be the reason someone is harmed so I had to" he replies and looked up, his face goes pale as he spots Harper in my arms. "Oh shit, is that. No.no.no. I'm sooo sorry" he said gasping at the sight of her. I took a deep breath, hopefully I wont regret my decision. "Why did u need the money" I ask and he replies sadly "my sister is ill" and i sigh " I'll give you 1 million but I never want to hear or see your face again" I say, my men looked in shock. "Thank you, thank you so much. If I can ever do anything for you just let me know, I owe you." He says. Aria has been awfully quiet, I turn to see her looking pissed. "I cut her tongue out" max shrugs and I smirk "ethan sort sam out with the money. Logan, max take aria to the warehouse basement lock her up" i order. "The rest of you, get rid of the bodies.
