You're Mine 'Amor'!!

Chapter 31: Right Under MY NOSE!!

(Mature Language 18 +)

Alexander and Xander shared a knowing look at each other while Erasto's and Cynthia's gaze was still stuck at Cici's painful photographs. They both knew what must have been going through both Erasto's and Cynthia's minds. Sierra had her palm clamped over her mouth as soon as she saw Cici's photographs and read the little note that her sister-in-law is alive!! Alexander rose up from his seat immediately while keeping his gaze locked with Xander.

"Be ready and meet me here in 5 minutes!! We will leave immediately. We won't be taking the bodyguards for Cici's sake. Do you understand Xander?"

"Yes dad! I understand. I will be there! We will finish them off and bring Cici back." Xander replied back in a same composed tone like Alexander's.

Their little conversation broke Cynthia's and Sierra's revere.

"What are you saying Alexander? We can't..." Cynthia tried to say with a broken voice but Alexander shot her a look that shut her mouth immediately. She knew he was way beyond the term 'angry'.

"It's not up for discussion Cynthia. We have no time and we need to act fast! I am going to get 'our' daughter home!!" Alexander's voice boomed in the entire room while he made his way towards their room in crisp steps.

Cynthia shot a tearful concerned look at Xander and followed her husband in an instant. She knew how Cici's death had affected Alexander. And now knowing that, it all was fake and was some kind of a sick revenge game, she knew Alexander would be blaming himself for all this. She knew she had to calm him down before he goes into self-blaming mode.

Xander rose up immediately and made his way towards 'their' room in hurried steps while Sierra followed him not before looking at Erasto.

They were so caught up that they totally forgot an extremely angry and a hurt man still sitting on one of the chairs. This ferocious Italian man was still looking at his wife's painful pictures and a fresh set of angry tears started clouding his vision while his jaw tightened more and more with each passing second.

"Xander?"

"Xander??"

"XANDER!!!!" Sierra yelled in a louder tone trying to grab his attention and she was somewhat successful.

"WHAT???" Xander snapped back looking at her for a second and took the stairs in a fast pace. They were really running out of time and he could not afford to lose even a second.

"Xander, just calm down for a few seconds. You are scaring me!" Sierra said running behind him to catch up with him. He was already on the first floor and was she still stuck in the middle of this unnecessary staircase.

"I am really sorry if I am scaring you Sierra but I can't help it." Xander shouted back and opened their room door. She huffed and ran behind him. He was already in the closet and started unbuttoning his shirt using his left hand while his other hand was busy looking for 'on-field' clothes along with his bullet proof jacket.

"Xander!!" Sierra said in breathy whisper while clutching the side of her stomach and huffing. She badly needed exercise routines.

Xander turned towards her and gave her a set of clothes to change along with a bullet proof jacket for her too. It was the same jacket which she wore that day when they had sent her out to trap Mason. Xander had particularly insisted her that day to wear it. He started putting on his pants while saying "I just learnt that my sister is alive and kept as a prisoner."

"I understand what you are saying..." She said while dropping off her frock standing in front of him just in her grey lingerie. Even though he was busy getting ready he did look at her with a longing look. It was not a look of lust, it was a look which would only flash because he was scared somewhere that he might lose her today if things didn't turn out well.
