The Mafia's Limping bride

CHAPTER 5 – Emergency in the safe house.

Triston’s POV

“Boss, are you on the way? How long will it take to come here?” I was in a meeting with the Russian Mafia about a new weapon deal when I got the call from Marco. I wouldn’t say I like it when someone or something disturbed me when I am on a dealing level, but the secretary had to come since Marco requested it as an urgent call.

“F*ck Marco, I am in a meeting. For how many f*cking times do I have to tell you that don’t disturb me when I am in a meeting” I secretly yelled to him walking to a corner of the room.

“Sorry boss, but this is urgent. You should come and see this” I didn’t like his tone. His confidence in this matter was at a bottom level. I felt it in his voice.

“What’s the matter? You got the kid right? Did police chase you?” I rubbed my forehead.

“We got the kid, no the police didn’t come no one didn’t notice us, but…..” this makes me anxious.

“But what Marco? Don’t waste my time” I gritted my teeth to the maximum and said.

“Boss, just come and see. I will explain everything” I cut the call and threw the mobile to my secretary. Something big must have happened, otherwise, Marco never called me like this.

“Gentlemen, next Wednesday we will do the deal. I will do an online transaction after checking the goods” The Russians agreed to the deal. It’s a million-dollar deal for the year and I worked hard to get this deal for us.

I left the room to reach the safe house. It will take another half an hour for me to reach. I can have my dinner on the way.

“Boss, where are we going now? To the mansion?” Chris asked. Chris is my driver.

“Chris, to the safe house and don’t stop at any cost. Don’t f*cking keep your foot on the break, even for the traffic light, but do care if a kid crosses the road” I said taking my iPad out from the bag.

You must be wondering why I care about kids when I kidnap a kid. k********g rich kids is to pump the money for the business. Taking a few million from their dads won’t fall into their pocket. I made sure that the kid was fine until we released the kid from our safe house. I asked Marco to give me enough food and water to the kid with a toy.

I didn’t have a proper childhood. I lost my parents in an accident that happened at home when I was seven years old leaving me the only responsible person to take care of my sister Bethany. She was four years old when we lost our parents.

The house caught a sudden fire and Mom and Dad couldn’t make it out of the house. They pushed me out with Bethany. I wished thousands of times that I and Bethany were swallowed too to the fire that day. Living without parents was so hard until we grew up.

Chris was driving the car faster. I dialed Marco’s number, but it didn’t answer. I wanted to make a video call and know what’s the situation there before I went, so I could prepare on the way, but the b*stard didn’t say a word about the problem.

“F*ck!” I cursed from behind. Chris looked at me from the rear mirror.

“Everything all right boss?” he asked while looking at me and the road from time to time.

“Marco isn’t answering the phone and the f*cker is not telling me what’s going on there” I licked my lips impatiently.

“I am sure there isn’t anything that you can’t handle” he smiles. Chris has been with me for the last eight years. He came to me when his family was killed by another gang. He wanted to take revenge, so I fulfilled his wish. Since that day he wanted to serve me. He has been honest with me for the last eight years, but according to my business, I can’t trust anyone. That’s what my mentor said to me all the time.

We arrived at the safe house around 10.00 p.m. I asked Chris to wait in the vehicle until I came back.

“Good evening boss!” it was an unfamiliar face to me. I stopped my way and looked at him with a surprise mixed face.

“Who are you?” I can say that he was a very young one around 20’s.

“I am Marco’s niece! He brought me here when I said that I am interested in the mafia” My eyebrows raised slightly when he said so.

“What the f*ck? where’s Marco? Marco” I gritted my teeth and yelled Marco’s name. The young man seems terrified by my roar. I saw Marco running towards me at full speed.

“Marco, how many times do I need to tell you that when you recruit someone to the organization meet me first, but you have taken him without my knowledge” I keep yelling at Marco.

“Boss, he is my niece, that’s why….” I showed my palm to make him shut.

“Marco, don’t f*cking answer back to me. When I say something, I encourage my men to follow it. Whatever the rules I have applied are for our good. I don’t care about being a niece or whoever. Do not repeat this action in the future” I pointed my index finger angrily.

“Sorry boss, it won’t happen again.” Marco lowered his head.

“How old is he?” I looked at the young man and scanned him from top to bottom. I felt that he was gonna pull a stunt. I raised my chin a little on him and walked inside.

“Where’s the kid?” I kept one arm in my pant pocket and asked walking inside.

“Boss, the kid is inside the usual room, but…” Marco’s but made me stop on the way and turned my head to see his guilty face.

“Marco, you better tell me what are you hiding otherwise I am gonna blow your head with my f*cking gun!” I clenched my fists. I was pissed to the bottom.

“Boss, we observed the kid for more than a week and we found that he was the last one to get down from the bus. There was no one in the bus except the old driver, but today….” He was scratching the back of his neck lowering his head.

“Marco, don’t be a p*ssy, tell me what happened. Don’t test my patience Marco” I shook him by holding his collar. I feel that my eyes will come out of my eye sockets soon.

“Boss, unexpectedly there was a teacher to today. I don’t know where and how she came” I pushed him away. My facial muscles were shaking, I was fuming with rage.

“So, what happened?” I c*cked an eyebrow and asked.

“We had no option other than bringing her here too!”

My patience level was gone. All the barriers were broken after hearing what Marco said.

“I want to kill someone, I will shoot whoever comes in my way. Find me a one to kill!” I rumbled. Why do they all the time test my patience?

“Are you telling me that you have brought a woman here with the kid?” I asked.

“Y…yes, boss. We didn’t have any option. We couldn’t kill….”

“You f*cking idiots. Where is she now?!” I wanted to smash Marco’s head for this foolishness.

“Marco, I thought you were a responsible man, I thought that I could trust you when I gave you a target to finish, but you are not second to a p*ssy! Where is the woman now? I want to see her!”

“Boss, she is with the kid. We gave food and water to both of them. This way come here boss” Marco lead the way to the room. I was huffing and puffing and walking like a dragon who is gonna blow a ball of fire at any time.

Marco pressed the secret code to enter the room and opened the door making my eyes widen with the scenery.

The kid who was kidnapped was kneeling in front of a woman who had fallen on the ground in a pool of blood flowing from her head. I have seen blood and it’s not a new thing for me, but I don’t know how and why my feet wanted to walk towards her.

“Please help her, she fell on the ground and hit her head on a corner of the table and she is not talking to me now” The kid seems terrified by the scenery.

Her face was covered by her hair and her body was turned to the right side covering her face.

“Marco, take the kid away. I will call Zane to handle this matter” Marco tried to take the kid outside, but he was struggling.

“No, I don’t want to go. I want to stay with Ms. Carol” Marco was trying his best.

“Marco, it’s all right, leave him. Kid, you are Avin right?” I asked while kneeling in front of the fallen woman’s body.

“Yes, because of you this all happen. Ms. Carol can’t walk without her crutches. She wanted to walk to the washroom, but then she fell. This is all because of your fault!” he started to hit me with his tiny fists.

“Listen, if you stay calm only I can ask for help to treat her” I looked at his eyes and said. He quickly understood that I was not lying. He nodded and slowly sat on the bed.

I slowly removed her hair from her face and turned her to the upside to see her wound. The blood from the wound has soaked her hair and the right side of her face. I felt that a wave of sympathy was flushing out from my heart.

But why? Who is she to me? I saw her for the first time.

I took the mobile out of my pocket and dialed Zane’s number. After a few seconds, he answered.

“Yes, I need you to come to the safe house right now! There is an emergency!”
