Chapter 17

Vivian "Get my car," I ordered my man, "And track, Max. He is in trouble." I ran my fingers through my hair. Fuck! I should not have let her go. She was in trouble.

"What happened, bro? Is everything alright?" Ava touched my shoulder, searching for an answer.

I nodded to her, "Take care of Harley. I have something urgent to handle," I gave her a quick smile and hugged her one more time, "Don't go until my back," I said and walked out. Harley was enjoying her party and looking thrilled. I glanced at her one more time before walking out of the mansion. My man had already parked my car waiting for me. "Call John and Brett and inform them I need them to come quickly. Does Leo have tracked the call?" I didn't call Leonardo, but I knew that my man would have already informed him about Max and Kiara.

He nodded. "He said that all this happened near the LGA, but he cannot find the exact location. He is on the way to you," Leo had a soft spot for Kiara and he must have been worried after hearing this.

Before I could enter my car. Alice's Mercedes was entering through the gate.

Fuck!!

I did not have enough time to explain it to every person right now. She came out with her forever smile. "Hey," her eyes studied me before my car, "Where are you going? Is there anything important? Even more important than your daughter's birthday?!" I didn't understand whether she was questioning or stating.

For a few seconds, I thought to snap, mind her own business, but I smiled, "Yes, it is important but not important as my daughter's birthday. She is enjoying her friends, so I thought, why don't I enjoy my whore?"

She cringed at my word. "You're disgusting!" she hissed and walked out of my sight. For a few moments, I had forgotten that Ava was there, too. Alice and Ava had never faced each other since that incident. I sighed soundly and looked back at her. But she had already disappeared into the house. These three women would drive me crazy. I opened the door and climbed in.

After half an hour, Leonardo and Harmony joined me, and John was following us. "Have you tracked them, Leo? Name the place," I said through the phone, waiting for his reply.

"I couldn't find the exact location, but I'm trying my best, boss. I just need a few more minutes," he said.

"You've already got thirty minutes, Leo!!" I snapped and disconnected the call. The next moment, Brett's number appeared on my phone screen. I quickly picked up. "Did you find Max?"

"Yes, Boss. We've found him. He has a bullet in his knees and a few bruises. We are extracting more information from him, but we have to take him to the doctor first," he said.

"I'm coming to him. I assume you've taken him to our doctor and made sure he would get proper care," I sighed in frustration. Max was loyal to me for six years and I couldn't let him suffer because of some other person. The person who brought us trouble. Kiara. I couldn't risk my single man's life for her.

I pulled the car into the underground garage and killed the engine. My men were already waiting for me. I shrugged off my jacket and handed it to one of my men. "Where is Max?" I asked them.

"Now, he is fine but unable to walk because he got shot in his legs," I knew that.

Brett came out, "He is waiting for you, Boss," he said, and I nodded to him.

We entered the room. The Doctor was checking on him. I approached his bed, examining his leg, which was wrapped in bandages. He has a few bruises on his face and swollen eyes. "How're you feeling?"

"Better," he said heavily, groaning with pain. "I'm sorry. I tried hard to stop them, but there were four and we were only two. I was unable to save her," there was regret in his eyes.

"Don't say sorry. If you're sorry can change anything, then I consider you sorry," I said simply, "Who were they?"

"I...I don't know, but I heard they were taking her to Chicago."

Chicago.

Eric Wilson.

I fucking know that.

"Do you remember anything about them? A car number, color anything..!!"

I needed some more clues to convert my suspicion into truth.

I stared into his eyes, and I got my answer. Before he could say anything else, I cut him off, "Take care of yourself," I turned to Brett, "Where is Leo??"

The door banged open, and Leo came in without delay. "I've tracked those fuckers. We need to catch him before they can harm Kiara," Harmony stood beside him, but she seemed unhappy. Because she didn't want me to save Kiara. I didn't know why she hated her so much.

"Then let's go," I already had two guns and a knife, but I needed more in case of an emergency. "Asked, John, a couple of guns," I nodded to Brett, and he obeyed immediately. Harmony followed us, but I stopped her. "You don't need to come. John and Brett are coming with me," I stated in my authoritative tone, and she nodded without objection.

I was driving my car at top speed. I needed to reach Kiara as soon as I could. I had told her I would let nothing happen to her. My phone rang, and I quickly picked up. "Have you got any information?"

I heard a familiar laugh from the other side, and my eyes quickly scanned the number. Fuck! Eric Wilson. Fuck. Fuck. My hand slammed the steering wheel hard. "Where the fuck is that girl, Eric??"

Again he laughed, the ugliest laugh I had ever heard. "Finally you forget, Bella. You move on," he sneered, "I knew that. I knew this from the day my sister died."

I gripped the steering wheel even tighter as if it would break at any moment. I wanted to hit something hard. I wanted to break his nose with my bare hand. But I couldn't because of her promise. I wanted to let out all my anger and grief. He was fucking talking about my wife. "Never talk about her," I said calmly. And this calm was more dangerous than the volcano eruption. "Don't ever fucking bring her into this, Eric. You know the consequences. You know who I am and what I can do with you!!" I warned him. "Now tell me, where is she?"

"I've told you, Vivian. I'll take my sister's revenge. I won't stop until I bury you 100 feet deep down. You know she'll be happy to find you in heaven," he let out a chuckle, "Then, let's begin with your whore."

"If you are a real man, then fight with me, asshole, instead of a woman. She did nothing to you. Then why the fuck you took her?!!"

"She killed my three men, and you killed my one man for her. As far as I can see, she is not fucking innocent. And don't ask me to leave her because you know me better, Vivian. As the boss of the mafia, you know the rules of the mafia world. If you ask me to spare her life despite her doing, then you don't deserve to be the boss of the mafia, Mr. Vivian Miller."

"Do whatever you want to do, Eric, and I'll do what I should do. I'm a mafia boss. I must fulfil my promise at any cost."

"Then save her from my haunted dogs. Probably she would be lying on the bed and naked and my men are on their way to her. Into her tight cunt! Save her, Vivian. My men will fuck her she will not be able to let any men near her for ten years," he laughed even louder and disconnected the call.

If I had not promised Bella, then I would have killed him five years ago. I could not break her promise. She had never asked about her daughter and my well-being instead she had asked for her brother. I could not break the last thing she had ever asked me. I was speeding to the car. I phoned Leo, "Leo, give me their exact location!!" Without wasting a single second, he gave me the exact location. It was 12 kilometers away. After ten minutes, I stopped the car in front of an old and abandoned house. They thought no one would notice this place. Fucking idiots. Nothing could be missed in my eyes.

I nodded to John, who was checking his gun. Leonardo had a gun too, but he would not come with us. One man should stay out of guard and warn us. I, John, and Brett walked inside silently. My hands were craving to kill them and to beat the shit out of them. The first man came out with a knife. But before he could do anything, I grabbed him by the neck and killed him with a single twist of his neck. "Yes, Fuck" I gritted.

The other man came out with a gun, but John hit his gun before he could shoot us. Brett managed another one with his long knife. I raced up the stairs, taking two men at the same time. Fuck, how many they were? And the next moment, I heard a woman screaming. Kiara. I ran towards the room and John and Brett were following me. I crashed the door. A heavy sound filled the room immediately. I pulled out my second gun and shot every person. A man ran towards me, but he froze after recognizing me. "Vivian." he looked like he had shit in his pants. I pressed my gun against his temple and shot him.

After knocking every asshole, my eyes were searching for her. I went to another room and there she was. She was lying on the bed, unconscious and naked. Fuck. I immediately pulled out my jacket and wrapped it around her body.

A man was crawling on the floor, his knee was bleeding. I approached him and sat on my knees. "What did you give her?" I grabbed him by the hair and slammed him against the floor.

"R_Roofie," he stammered and in the end, I gave him a peaceful death.

I returned to Kiara. Her body was shivering, and she was whispering something under her breath. I carried her in my arms carefully, and she rested her head against my chest. John and Brett joined me but didn't look at Kiara because they fucking knew what I would do with them. They tried to see her body. We got out and Leonardo reached us. His eyes fell on Kia, but he quickly averted away, "I should get the car," he said and walked away.

I placed her in the passenger seat before adjusting myself in the car. I glanced at her one more time. She was laying against the seat, her eyes were still closed, and her breathing was slow, and her lips were trembling. I sighed soundly and started the car.

After forty-five minutes of driving, finally, we arrived. Leonardo, John, and Brett went back to their work, and I brought Kia into her apartment. The elevator clicked open, and I entered her room. I placed her without looking at her. My jacket was wrapped around her body, but not enough to hide everything. I glanced at the room. My gifted phone was still there untouchable and the packet of money I had given to her was on the table. The designing stuff I had arranged for her, purse, shoes, and dress everything was untouchable. I ran my fingers through my hair. She didn't look like a gold-digger; she didn't look like a hooker, but she looked like an assassin. Why did she come here? Why did she always get in trouble?

I heard her groan, and she rolled to the other side, exposing her body. Fuck. My eyes caught something from the long and ugly scar which began from her hip to her upper thigh. Her butt was visible, but my eyes were fixing on that scar. I wanted to run my fingers over it and asked her how she got that scar. I closed my eyes, but I didn't fuckin care. I grabbed the blanket and threw it over her body.

I pulled out my phone and called Ava. "Come to the address I've sent you on your phone," I had no other option besides calling my sister. I couldn't call Alice, probably she would be with her husband and kid.

Twenty minutes later, Ava arrived. "What happened, bro?" She asked, worried. "Harley has been asking about you. I've tried hard to put her to sleep," she sighed with frustration, "You know what, there is no doubt she is your daughter. Short temper."

I smiled at her, "Ok, I need your help," she stared at me with surprise.

"My help!! You've never asked for my help."

I ran my fingers through my hair. This was going to be awkward for me. "I need you to shower someone." I caught her eyes, "Shower to Kia. I mean Kiara and dress her."

She searched my eyes but didn't find anything. "I'm wondering how long have you been fucking her. She faints down," she let out a small laugh, "I'm just joking."

"This time is not for joking!!"

She frowned. "What happened to her?!"

"Some guys kidnapped her and tried to rape her by swallowing her roofies. She is unconscious and naked. I can't do this. You know me very well. I can fuck naked women, but shower, it is not my thing."

She gave me a cold look. "Shut up, bro, and tell me where she is?"

I directed her to Kiara's room. I slipped my hands into the pocket. "I'm waiting for you here."

She nodded and went into her room. After thirty minutes, she went out with moist eyes. I quickly stood up. "What happened to you, Ava? Does she hurt you?" I clenched my hands into a fist and moved toward her room.

"How could she hurt me, bro?" She looked into my eyes. There was a pain in her blue eyes. "She is scared. And she is not unconscious. She has kept her eyes closed because she doesn't want to see her rapist. She kept whispering don't rape me, don't rape me. She is broken right now. I think she was raped," her throat constricted.

"No, she wasn't raped!! I arrived there on time, and they were only faint."

"Maybe she was raped in the past," she looked back at her room, "She is in poor condition, bro. She needs someone. And I think it's your responsibility to help her. Don't leave her alone. You saved her, it means you care for her. And please, don't deny it."

I narrowed my eyes on her. "I have been saving women from sexual violence and I'll save them until my last breath. I saved Harmony and Alice. And now I've saved Kiara. There is nothing like I care about her. I don't fucking care if she would die or live, but I care if she was taken against her will."

"Then I'll take her with me for a few days," she said with a hint of hesitation.

"No," she didn't know. Kiara had killed three men. She was not what Ava thought about her. "I'll take her with me."

"In your mansion?" She gave me a questioning look.

I nodded to her. "In my mansion."
