Emerald

34. My Girl

Nicholas POV.

'' You were given a job '' I declared seething and picked up my favourite knife from the table as I twirled it around.

Anger filled my veins when I received news that my emerald was hurt. The promise that I gave her would have almost been broken if that man had not saved her. Looking more into the incident I realized that my men who I'd told to take care of my jewel were slacking off.

'' C-Capo, I-I swear we did guard her.'' One of them said shaking in fear.

'' Really? Then why didn't you pull her back! '' I questioned as my voice boomed through the basement.

'' I appointed all five of you to do one thing! That was to guard My emerald! '' I yelled and they flinched in fear knowing I was capable to slit their throat in seconds.

'' Hang them upside down '' I ordered as Theodore proceeded to follow my command.

I removed my Rolex and rings placing them on the table as I rolled my selves up. Looks like I will have to slit them into their places.

'' Capo Please! Mercy! '' One of them screamed and I flinched.

I hate screamers.

I hate the way when a man scream's for mercy.

I turned around slowly approached them it was difficult to decide on which man should I first carve. Then I realized that out of all five of them the last man was awfully quiet.

I walked towards him and placed the knife on his neck and stared deep into his eyes as tears streamed down his face. He closed his eyes and shivered in fright.

Looks like he will be the first kill

'' P-Please capo, I beg you. '' He said pathetically.

I closed my eyes as it drifted to her ankle it had swollen up and turned red the pain she must have felt when she would walk, my girl wasn't even able to open the door properly without limping.

It was at that time I knew, I wanted blood and I was a thirsty beast for it. I wanted to kill those who failed to protect her.

Without sparing another glace slowly pierced his skin with my knife and watched out the skin separated from each other and the crimson blood pooled out and fell on the floor with drops. I could feel satisfaction enter my blood and I darkly smiled at the thick liquid that coated my hands.

His vocal cords were still not touched by my kife yet, I applied a little more pressure and his wails turned into sobs I was nearing closer to harm his vocal cord.

'' Fratello! they are innocent,'' Lucien yelled as he walked into my basement. ( Brother )

'' It was a diversion. Someone wanted to kill jade and they were aware of the guards following them.'' He said holding pictures in his hand.

'' They distracted them very smartly, One was the lady who asked for directions, another one tried to start a fight. It was a well-thought plan.'' Lucien said and I scoffed.

'' Let them go,'' I said and after a few minutes, I heard bodies falling on the ground.

'' Theodore take him to Sebastian,'' I spoke.

'' Si capo '' He answered and dragged the leaking body by his arm to the door.

'' Don't you get my fucking carpet dirty with his blood! '' Lucien screamed and I rolled my eyes.

'' Athena,'' I replied and he nodded his head holding his temples.

'' Send them to my office and get this checked,'' I said as I walked out of my basement and into my office

I sat on my back leather chair starring out into oblivion thinking about my emerald. My computer screen was right in front of me burning my skin I groaned and turned to face it, reading the documents and presentations that were sent to me by my assistant.

'' Any lead? '' I asked Lucien who entered my office with Marco by his side.

'' None. They all looked like decent people with normal questions.'' He replied and I rubbed my temples feeling the heat rise to my skin.

'' You said it was a well-thought plan? '' I asked him Lucien sat on the chair in front of me, he pushed the pictures in front of my face.

'' It is.'' He said smirking.

I looked at the one pictures of traffic police halting all the cars and not letting anyone go forward. The next picture leads to a red car speeding on the road towards the zebra crossing where jade stood.

'' The traffic police allowed only one car to pass through, that was the red jeep, the driver was a well-trained assassin who went missing from Darkhan,'' Marco said placing his whiskey on my table.

'' Darkhan wheres that? '' I asked leaning forward.

'' Mongolia. '' Lucien said looking up from his phone and showing me a google search of the place.

'' The man who saved jade has no trace on him in this town,'' Lucien spoke firmly

'' Must be a tourist. '' I said looking at the picture of the man, but it was a click from the back so I could catch a glimpse of how he looks.

'' Government. Assassins and a missing case. Looks like a lot of money.'' I said and poured a glass of whiskey for myself.

'' Mafia? Although there are too many enemies to pick from the pond.'' Lucien said

'' Businessmen? There's a good chance that this could be another red dot.'' Marco said lowly.

'' Jade doesn't seem the type to mess with someone. Plus the people who she has dealt with are pretty clean'' Lucien said and put his phone in his pocket.

'' Too clean for her good,'' Marco replied I raised a brow at him.

'' Get the traffic police, his face looks quite familiar to me,'' I said looking at Marco and handed him the picture.

'' Your new toy... But I want him alive.'' I said and watched as my brother smiled darkly and walked out.

My eyes concentrated on the picture of the man who had his back facing the camera. He saved my emerald for some reason I felt an itch on my skin when I looked at the picture something wasn't right here. Picking it up I pushed it towards Lucien who looked up at me with a question dangling in his mind.

'' Find him,'' I said and he nodded his head picking up his glass of whiskey and he walked out.

My mind wasn't able to concentrate well at the given responsibility my hands were coated with blood and my shirt stained with tears of mercy. I picked up a cigar from my drawer lighting as I inhaled the cloying obsession

Every time I closed my eyes the soft brown locks would distract my peace, her warm honey deep eyes would ignite a fire in my soul. Every living part of my body craved her I wanted her in my arms and my grasp right now. Her aura and mere presence set my mind to a frenzy, her delicate body and soft lips feel exactly like how heaven should feel.

I feared that if I reached out to her too harshly I would hurt her but every time I touched her soft milky tan flesh, I could not help but get a little greedy with my emerald... I glanced at the car keys on my table as I grabbed my coat.
