The cars formed a shield, blocking our bullets as more vehicles arrived behind them. Men emerged from the cars, taking cover and aiming their guns at us. Yet, they refrained from firing.
Rage surged through me when I saw who it was. He approached me with a dark expression on his face.
“Where the hell is she?!” He shouted furiously, and my jaw clenched.
I saw red and stopped right before his face with a sinister look. He aimed his gun directly at my head, and I did the same to him.
“You’re in my territory. That’s a fucking death penalty.” I growled, my finger ready on the trigger.
“Where the hell is she, Bellavia?!”
“Leave while I will still spare your life, Vasiliev.” I sneered.
In any other circumstances, I would have shot him before he could even step a foot out of the car. However, I didn’t have the time to start a war in the middle of my driveway with more pressing matters at hand.
Vasiliev stepped closer, red dots from laser sights dotting him. I knew my men had taken control of the situation from the roof. Still, Vasiliev remained unfazed by the number of guns pointed at him.
“Pull the trigger, and you’re all as good as dead. You’ll never find her.” I promised. Nestor, one of his men, stood behind Vasiliev, his gaze sharp and gun at the ready.
“I’ll ask one more time before I create a bloodbath. Where. Is. She?!” He roared.
“Leave my territory. I don’t have time to deal with you.” I said, my patience wearing thin. I would have to deal with him another time.
“A bloodbath it is, then.” The distinct sounds of weapon racks sliding into place filled the air the moment he uttered those words.
“Antonio! Order the kill on Jacinta!” I shouted. Vasiliev clenched his teeth in anger at my directive.
“Are you really going to kill the mother of your woman?”
“Yes. The place is packed and guarded with men. One call, and she’s as good as dead.” I threatened with a smirk.
Vasiliev let out a laugh, disbelief evident in his expression.
“Let’s see what Althaia has to say about you threatening to kill her mother.”
“She won’t believe you. She thinks her mother is already dead.”
He squinted his eyes.
“Tell me why you faked her death, Bellavia.”
“That’s none of your business.”
“Oh, but she is my damn business! I’m not leaving until I get what I want.” Vasiliev growled. My jaw clenched. Of all days, he chose today to show up and be a pain in my ass.
“To protect her. From Gaetano.” I decided to disclose. Fury flashed in his eyes as a dark look overtook his face at the mention of Gaetano.
The sound of groaning and shuffling caught his attention. His eyes snapped to Michael, who managed to get on his feet.
“Gaetano’s dog. Hand him over.”
“No.” I scoffed. If Michael knew something, I wasn’t letting him go.
“Althaia... Cara... We need to go. He’s going to kill them.” Michael grunted.
Vasiliev looked at me with questioning eyes. I let out a frustrated sigh and pinched the bridge of my nose at Michael’s lack of awareness at the moment.
Vasiliev’s eyes scanned the area, a crease appearing between his brows.
