BOUND TO HIM (Book II: Captured series)

16. Logan

"How did you loose him?" I always thought I had the most capable men on my team. A bunch of lads that I could close my eyes and put my trust in, after all I did handpick each and every one of them. Yet this is the second time I've been let down and I'm a hairline away from loosing my shit.

"I just left him for five minutes—" I raise a finger to silence him.

"I'm going to ask again because I had made it very clear, you do not leave him alone for one fucking second. So tell me how the fuck did you loose him?" I snap, anger oozing out through my pores.

The man in front of me cowers away as I glare at him. Scared to say anything he just stares down at the floor beneath my foot, while my eyes scan the empty shipping container that only holds a chair. I pinch the bridge of my nose, scanning the scene.

"He couldn't have made it out on his own..."

I was never the one to make empty threats and I had kept my word of making John Costello regret going against me. Starting with his allies, one by one I turned them all against him. Within a matter of weeks I had managed to ruin his business to the point that he wouldn't be able to make deals with anyone in the country. But that wasn't enough to satiate my hunger to destroy him completely, so I brought him here. The plan was to keep him away from Elle for the rest of his life and I had managed to do that up till now.

My mind's racing to pin a person that I might've missed and would still be willing to help Costello. Did he pay someone? Can't be possible! There's no way he could've communicated with anyone from here. So how the fuck did he manage to slither out?

"Should I step up the security? I'm sure he will try to get back at you" Isaac questions, standing behind me. I had no doubts about that, but I also knew his target would not be me. By now John must know, the only way to really get to me is by going after Elle.

"I want two more men along with Doyle, they will be Elle's shadow, day and night. And I want you to secure the building, no one goes to see her without my permission" I order, running a hand through my already disheveled hair.

I'm still contemplating what I'm going to do with Elle, she's probably going to give me an earful when she sees my men guarding her building. Knowing how worried she gets with her brother's security, she's mostly going to spend sleepless nights for the rest of her life. That only meant I have to find Costello soon.

"Hunt him down and don't come back until you have him" I glare at the man in front of me.

My phone buzzes and I seriously wanted to chuck it against the metal wall of the shipping container, but I hold my anger in, answering the damn thing with a grunt.

"She really has a death wish this time" Elon's usually spirited voice is stone cold, a rare moment in my opinion and truly bothersome.

"What are you talking about?" I ask.

"Do you know where we're leaving from? Elle's office! She fucking arranged a meeting with father"

She wouldn't!

"What did she say?" I blurt out my next question.

"No fucking clue, she kicked us out. And father won't say a word" He sounded annoyed. I'm glad it wasn't only me who's loosing their goddamned mind today.

"You know what that means, right?" His voice turns quiet for a second and I knew exactly what my father's silence meant. He's about to bring her down and he's going to do it in the most ruthless way possible.

"Are you still there?" I question, my legs already moving to get me to my car.

"No, we left like five minutes ago" And he decides to call me now.
