Betrothed To The Mafia Lord novel Chapter 41

Luca’s POV

Aria: I need help, immediately.

I rose up to my full height immediately and started to type in a reply immediately. I faintly heard Matilda informing me that the coffee was ready as she placed it on the counter, a few feet away from where I was standing but I paid her no attention as I immediately sent the text I had typed down.

Luca: What’s happening???

On getting no reply after a minute, I sent another one over immediately.

Luca: Where the fuck are you?

I dragged my left fingers through my hair and turned around, heading out of the kitchen and heading towards the door leading outside immediately.

I sent another text as I stepped outside the house and slammed the door close behind me.

Luca: Aria? Fucking reply my texts right now.

“Good morning, Mr Ricci.” Two voices echoed beside me and I glanced sideways to lock gazes with the two guarded whom I had assigned to Sofia. I nodded my head at them and alighted the small amount of stairs immediately. My driver was already thankfully waiting for me outside the car and a guard instantly tugged open the back seat’s door for me and I slid into the car immediately, already typing in another text for Aria, my head was starting to pound once again.

Luca: C’mon! Where are you?

My mind was already tightening up as so many emotions swamped me up at once, regret was the leading emotion amongst the other emotions.

Regret that I had failed her when she was little, and might end up failing her again now that she was all grown up and had reached out to me for help.

Just why didn’t I ask for her friend’s address yesterday?

And now it was either I head over to the Vante’s mafia directly, or head over to one of my warehouses where one of my security leads can trace her location from my phone through the latest text that had come in this morning.

“Where to, boss?” The driver had asked without glancing behind me and after contemplating and weighing the pros and cons, I asked him to drive me over to the warehouse. Sending a quick text over to the guys at the warehouse to get all the needed equipments ready, l kept on sending Aria texts while trying hard not to think about anything really bad happening to her.

We arrived at the warehouse and I alighted the car even before it got fully parked and was making my way into the warehouse immediately. A lot of greetings echoed around me as I made my way into the warehouse and I nodded my head absentmindedly as I walked deeper into it until I arrived at where I was looking for.

Letting myself in immediately, I handed my phone over to one of the guys which he quickly connected to a long wire while the one sitting behind the lots of computers started tapping away, his fingers moving fast against the keyboard while his eyes never left the screens for a second – the only time his eyes moved behind his glasses was to glance towards another screen which had on a blank image with something that looked like a thin white like moving around on the screen.

“Something happened, boss?” One of the three guys that were currently in here asked me and I shook my head while tugging on the roots of my hair. The one who had asked the question pushed a chair towards my way and I grabbed it and sinked into it gratefully.

“I’ve almost gotten it… the location is moving, it’s currently moving.” John, the lead guy of the security team which was based on computers operating and everything that involves it– suddenly said and I perked up in my seat, staring at the screen to see a red glowing circle that kept moving towards a really long line.

“This is the person you were looking for, and they’re moving at a really fast speed, which means the person is either running from you, or the person is being kidnapped…?”

“Fuck!” I mutter loudly and tug on the roots of my hair hard, scrubbing that same hand downwards, over my face.

“Is it someone you’re after, boss?” I and a few of the guards could go after the person and bring them to you.” The third guy who had offered me the chair to sit on started to say and I shook my head as a small sigh escaped my lips, going directly into my palm which was still covering my mouth.

“It’s someone I need to find immediately, some bunch of assholes have most definitely kidnapped her, which was why she sent me that last text before the phone probably got seized from her.” I said to him, knowing the rest of the team were all listening in.
