He pulls the gun so quickly that I can’t match him. He shoots at me, and a dart hits my neck. I pull it out and look at it. “What… is this?”
“Goodnight, lover boy,” Darius says before I pass out.
My head feels heavy when I come to. I’m strapped to a chair in a rather uncomfortable position. I groan softly when suddenly a bucket of icy water is thrown over me, and I gasp, now awake.
I look at Darius standing in front of me with the bucket. “Hello, sunshine.” He grins happily. “Like your new accommodation?”
I look around. I’m in a house, no, not a house, a garage.
“I need to take a leak. Feel free to look around until I’m back.” He walks out of the room, and I look around. The garage door is closed, but I bet it’s in an abandoned house that no one lives near. It’s what I would do.
I think about Elena, about how much trouble she’s going to be in when Darius is finished with me. How heartbroken she’s going to be to find out I’m dead. I know I love her. I don’t want anything bad to happen to her.
I wish there were something I could do to stop this shitstorm that I started, but at the same time, I don’t regret it because it brought Elena and me together. She’s the sexiest fucking Mafia bitch I’ve met, and I’m damn lucky she’s been mine for this short time.
I hear footsteps, and Darius walks back into the room and takes out his cell phone. “Smile, dickhead.”
I look up and smirk. “You’re lucky this isn’t hand-to-hand combat, or I’d wipe the floor with you.”
“You’re not going to goad me into releasing you, Arseny. The truth is I beat you. I pulled one over the best enforcer in the business. The precise, the perfect, the anally-retentive Arseny Milov. I am better than you in every way.”
He takes out a knife and holds it to my throat. “A part of me just wants to off you now. I could say you attacked me, and it was an accident. I wonder if your brother would buy it. He’s become so weak since he’s become a father. Your whole family is pathetic.”
“Leave them out of this,” I murmur. “They’re twice the man you’ll ever be.”
“Oh really? Because I don’t have some fat bitches by my side.”
“The only fat bitch I’ve seen is your little brother. What is he, three hundred pounds? And a short shit.”
“Leave my brother out of this,” he nicks me with his knife. I feel the blood dripping down onto my shirt.
Lesson learned. That’s what the new scar means. Lesson learned. I won’t be taken by a fool like this again. If there is another time, that is.
“What do you think your Uncle Emery will do to you when he finds out what you did?” I ask, looking up at him with my hair hanging in my face.
“He’ll reward me. In fact, I plan to give you to him as a gift. The man who kidnapped Elena.”
“I didn’t kidnap her. She came willingly. Again and again.” He punches me, and I spit out some blood. “Sorry, I didn’t realize it was a sensitive topic.”
“Don’t talk about my cousin like she’s some little whore,” he says.
I smirk. “Your cousin isn’t a little whore. She loves me, Darius. And when she finds out that you have me, she is going to tell your entire family to kill you.”
“She hasn’t got it in her,” Darius says, but I can see I have him spooked.
“Believe me, you don’t know what she’s got in her. How did your hand get hurt?” I ask, looking at his bandaged hand. “Was that her? Was it the knife I gave her?”
He glares at me and takes out his phone again. “I’ll consult my uncle before she has time to get back to him. You’ll be dead before she can shed a tear to my uncle for your life.”
I watch him pace back and forth. “Hi, it’s Darius. Can you come to Long Street House? I need all of you here—Uncle Emery, you, Kyle, and Sevan. I have a gift for the family. Okay, okay, I’ll call him, but get Kyle and Sevan here. Okay, bye.”
He turns to look at me. “That’s three out of four. Let’s see what my uncle has to say.”
“Does he trust you? Your uncle? Cause he’s not going to when he hears you’ve been putting out hits using his name,” I chuckle darkly.
He puts the phone to his ear. “Uncle Emery, hi. It’s Darius. Can you come to Long Street House? I have a gift for you. I have the man who kidnapped Elena in my custody. Yes, it’s definitely him.”
He hangs up and leans against the wall. “It’ll take them half an hour, but they’ll be here.”
