Chapter 1:
Guard 1 p.o.v
"I need to see her, step aside!" Lord Antonio addresses me. Why can't this bastard just leave the poor girl alone. He's done enough to her already. 3 years I've guarded this girl, and ever since the day I saw her strength, I swore her my loyalty. She had become a little sister to me. luckily, after what he and his asshole twin did to her, I have orders from the real boss around here, his dad.
"I'm sorry, Lord Antonio, but I can not allow you entry. You will have to take this up with your father. My orders only allow him or the doctor entry." I answered. He couldn't do s**t to me. I was following direct orders from someone above him. I just managed to keep the smirk off my face as he turned to walk away but stopped and looked back.
"Remember who will be your boss soon enough, once I've married that little b***h, this kingdom is mine!" He growled out before turning back and carrying on down where he came from. He didn't love the girl inside. She had just become an obsession for him. A forbidden fruit he has never been allowed to touch, alto that never stopped the violence she received over the last 3 years. After the latest beating, I knew we had to act soon. She had all we needed to buy our safety from another family, even if it only brought hers, I'd be happy.
"Why didn't you just let him in? I am sure the little princess is fine, I mean, she can't be that ill!" The second guard Chris asked. He doesn't know the s**t I know. Even though he's been on her security detail for 8 months, there's a lot that has been hidden from him. He hasn't been accepted into the inner circle of this family yet. The family were still testing him out, but even they didn't know what I knew about him... They will, but not until it is too late to do anything about him.
"You don't know s**t all about it, You may think you have got within the inner circle of the Moertti's, but you haven't, not yet! ... She's no princess... Not anymore, not for the last 3 years! So keep ya mouth shut on s**t you know f**k all about!" I growled back at him. Surprise written on his face. I needed to check on her, and after over hearing his latest hidden phone call, I knew I would need his help to get her out of here.
"You wanna know the truth! The s**t that's been hidden from you from the moment you became her second guard? Let me show you!" I turned to the door and unlocked it. Grabbing his arm, I pulled him inside. Once again, surprise was written all over his face.
"What the living hell happened to her?" He asked as I watched his eyes. Seeing for the first time, this beautiful girl, covered head to toe in bruises. A support strap like cast on her left wrist from a minor fracture.
"The handy work of Antonio and his twin Ashton... Remember 2 or 3 weeks ago you were given 4 days off because Kiara would be home learning the tradions they were using for the wedding?" I paused while he thought back. Nodding I glanced at her then looked back at him.
"Well, As you know she has to remain untouched, a virgin for the wedding. The twins decided it was time she learned a thing or two for after they were married. Now they cant touch her but they can touch others and they forced her to watch, for four days." I took breath as i remembered the screams coming from that room. Trying to imagine the horrors she would have seen.
"I had to stand guard outside and whenever she would be allowed out, she would be so white, shaking. Lord knows what she saw or was subjected too but the day after they forced her to go for a wedding dress fitting... Well she must have had a flash back or something because all of a sudden she ran... This! what you see here, is a result of them catching her." I looked back at her. She is heavily sedated at the moment to keep her pain levels down and allow her to heal. I checked the look on his face and he was shocked again.
"Now, I know you have been planted here... I know the purpose is to take her... The family you work for want to use her against Moretti, maybe even flip her to your side but she doesn't need flipping, she is already on anyones side against these bastards... She is also worth much more than you know information wise... We have been collecting info over the last 3 years in order to try and buy mine and her safety within another family. Now I don't care for mine, just hers." I could see he wanted to speak so i let him. no point in giving him the whole pitch yet.
"Why do you care so much for her, and Im guessing you want my help getting her out which is why you haven't said anything to anyone yet, about who the f**k i am?" Chris answered. At least they sent someone who wasnt a dumb fucker.
" 3 years ago i was brought on as her guard while she was to undergo training for her role as mafia wife. When they told her that was what was happening, that she would train for 3 years and then she would be married off to Antonio.. The girl stood to her full height of 5"3 and told them all to f**k off! Hahaha. She looked so f*****g strong, determined! Marcellus obviously couldn't stand for the disrespect, throw her in segregation. She still stood strong for weeks, i was so impressed. no matter the beating, lack of food. She still refused. In the end i started to talk to her through the door. I convinced her the only way to fight was to give in, accept their training and use it against them... I promised if she did this i would stand at her side, i would help all i could... She acted like a real Mafia Queen with no training, she gave no inch. Thats the one i will follow in this life... Since then she has become like a little sister... We have a plan to get her out but im thinking that if we mix in whatever you were planning, we will have a high success rate my only question is, which family are you from? ... She has a top 3 family she intended to approach with our trade offer. Im hoping your boss is one of them so which family?" I stood on guard, i still had both hands behind my back and unknown to him my gun was in my right. If he didn't give me the answer i want, i will be dropping him.
"Baracetti." Was all he said. I smiled and exhaled a breath of relief. Thats the family at the top. The number one enemy of the Moretti.
"Plan?" I asked next.
"In an hour my guy attack one of your werehouses... This place will be left short handed. I was to knock her out and carry her out while others attacked the front gate." That could work but dangerous at the same time.
"Instead of going out the front we trigger the alarms and go to the safe room with her. No one will question that... There is a secret exit out and Kiara is a computer tech wiz. She has already got programs set to deactivate cams and doors to get out... Luckily she trusted me with the codes. You get your guys to meet us at the safe house address... By the time they open the safe room doors, we will all be long gone!" I smiled. as he nodded.
"A tech wiz you say. Boss will definitely have a use for her." He smirked.
"Ill send updates, you get her ready, 1 hour, no more than one bag." He said as he exited her room. I walked over to her and bent close to her ear.
"Ill have you out soon sis." I kissed her fore head and grab the go bag we talked about. Sliding both laptops inside and sat it near the door. I walked out and locked the door once again. Chris came walking back and stood at my side.
"Address" He whispered. I typed in on my phone and let him watch. he nodded and sent it to someone. Seeing him glance at his watch i saw there a timer running down. Seeing 30 min i started doing a my weapons check. After watching me he copied. Good! She will be leaving one way or another tonight and if he want ready not my problem. She is number one priority and i didn't need him to get to the Baracettis. With him yes it would be easier but if its a choice, well she will win... Let the clock tick down...
