“Ana…” My heart and mind filled with hope and pride knowing she wasn’t giving in to them.
“I didn’t see her but she’s in there. I just know.”
“Who has my daughter, Nicolo?” Victor asked calmly and as rationally as possible.
“Chad.” There it was, the blow I had been waiting for, the man my wife claimed to be harmless had her, and he had the audacity to stand beside us and offer his help to find her, to bring her home when all along he wasn’t planning on it.
“Should I call Miles?” Nicolo asked.
“No. Nobody outside this house finds out we know where Ana is, not even the girls, no matter how worried they are.”
The girls practically lived with Florence and Victor whilst Ana was gone. They did all they could to help but there wasn’t much they could do in all honesty. The one thing I knew they’d do was be there for her when we brought Ana home. It was time to bring myamorehome.
We stormed from the office towards the meeting room. The second we arrived all eyes fell upon us.
“We’re bringing her home.” I smiled. “Nicolo found her location.”
“Well done, Nic!” Red smiled, and for the first time, I noticed the men who adored Ana gradually light up.
“Nobody outside of this room should know about her whereabouts,” I ordered.
“That includes my wife.” Victor spoke from beside me. “I will inform Miles the second we have Ana, and not a moment before.”
“How bad is it, Boss?” Gino asked from behind his computer screen.
“Five men including Chad.” All heads snapped up since all the men in this room knew him as one of Victor’s most trusted.
“He’s always been obsessed with our Ana.” Artem, head of Victor’s security, rose from his seat. “We never thought anything of it since we knew they grew up together, but the older they got, the more he offered to drive her places, he always knew where she was. We thought nothing of it, but I apologise for not putting two and two together.” He hung his head as if in shame, but it wasn’t his fault. Chad was unhinged, I saw it the moment we met. I knew he was bad news.
“Artem, this is not your fault, you are the most loyal man I have, and we’ve been through some shit together and you will not apologise for something you couldn’t have seen. Nobody would have imagined he would have done something like this, not even me. I invited him into our home when he lost his parents because my daughter begged me not to leave her friend alone and all was fine until her eighteenth birthday when she told him she was set to marry Lorenzo at the age of twenty-one.” He captured the attention of everyone here. “We will bring my daughter home and Lorenzo will end Chad’s life, but the four others are mine, no matter who they are.”
“Can I play?” Red asked with a sinister smile.
“Yes, I’ll let you play before I end them.” Victor winked.
Tonight, I would hold her in my arms, make her see how much I love her, and how much I was drowning without her.
“So, Boss, what’s the plan?” Emmet asked with a lethal glee.
“Half of us will head in on foot, we don’t want to alert them. The rest will wait by the cars at the road, but the moment we’ve secured all five men and Ana, you may drive up and collect us,” I ordered. “I will bring Anastacia home; I want Chad and the others taken to the warehouse. Once Florence arrives to watch Ana, I’ll meet you there and that’s when the fun begins.”
“Perfect. I’m looking forward to it.” Red smiled as he leaned back in his chair.
Today was the day we would bring my girl home.
Chad didn’t answerme when I begged him to take me home.
“Chad, take me home… please,” I pleaded again, my voice cracking with each word.
“No can do, I’m afraid.” He smiled, and I felt sick.
“What do you mean?!” His fingers twisted into my skin as it burned beneath his touch almost instantly. “Chad, you’re hurting me!”
“That wasn’t my intention. I apologise.”
“Great! So, let go!” I snapped as I struggled in his grip.
“Ana, you’re making it worse!” He slammed his forehead against mine, hard enough for me to stop thrashing. “I’m not taking you home, nobody is coming for you either.” He laughed with a proud look painted on his face. “It’s you and me from here on out.” He smirked as he brought his face to mine. I could feel his breath on my lips, and it took all I had not to vomit. “Anastacia, you are mine, not his.” He went to kiss me, but there was only one man I’d allow to claim my lips. I turned my head abruptly as he pecked my cheek.
