He stands there, calm and composed, a sinister smile playing on his lips. “Hello, Dion. I see you’re finally awake.”
“Ánte gamísou.” I almost fucking growl at him. “Where is she?”
Andrew chuckles, stepping closer. His face is shadowed, but I can see the cold glint in his eyes. “Aria’s fine—for now. It’s you we need to worry about.”
I buck against my restraints again. I want to free my hands so I can strangle this cunt once and for all. But it’s useless. The ropes are too tight.
Andrew’s voice cuts through the stale air of the room. “Seems like those little threats I sent you weren’t quite enough to keep you in line. And as for Aria…well, it appears she’s become quite stubborn herself. Even the threat against her brother doesn’t seem to faze her anymore.”
Skatofatsa.
“Ti thelis, Galanis?”
“What my family is owed, what I’m owed,” he replies calmly.
“You’re not owed shit. Get these fucking restraints off me, maláka.”
“Tsk tsk.” He shakes his head. “I think I like seeing you tied up, Loukas,” he says, kneeling in front of me. “What I want from you is to leave Aria alone. She’s an integral part of my plan.” He grabs my chin roughly, forcing me to look at him. “And you have been sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong. So, this is just a little reminder to mind your own business.”
I jerk my head away and spit in his face. “I’m going to fucking kill you.”
Andrew startles and bursts into a fit of laughter, wiping the specks of saliva off his cheek. “It’s funny how you think you have the upper hand, Loukas. You’re in here,” he says, gesturing around the space. “While your dear love is out there,” he adds with a smirk, pointing up.
I’m getting tired of his shit. “Tell me why the fuck I’m here, Galanis. What have you done to Aria?” I grit out.
He flashes me a sinister grin. “You really don’t know?”
“No,” I snarl. “I don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.”
“You should know already that I’ve been keeping an eye on you, Loukas,” he admits. “Eyes and ears. Watching your little escapades with Aria. You two make quite the pair, but I needed it to stop once and for all.”
I knew he had been watching her, watching us, but it suddenly dawns on me just how much he has been an eye on her. I should’ve known that Aria’s fiancé, having so much on the line, would make sure that his investment was secure.
I grit my teeth, frustration boiling inside me. But I have to stay calm, to think clearly and find a way out of here. To make sure that Aria is okay.
“Where is she?” I ask again through gritted teeth.
Andrew’s smirk widens, and he takes a step back, as if savoring the moment. “She’s fine.”
“What the fuck do you mean? She texted me for help.”
“Well, I did a little thing to her phone called hacking,” he explains as if talking to a child, chuckling. “I installed a tracker and got into her text messages…”
The realization hits me like a punch to the gut. How did I not realize that Aria texted me from her phone and not the burner? She was never in trouble. It was Andrew who sent the message, manipulating me, using her as bait to lure me into his trap. Anger surges through me, hot and fierce.
My hands clench into fists, the ropes biting into my skin as I struggle against them once more. “You fucking cunt!” I shout.
A wicked grin twists his lips. “Surprised?” Andrew sneers, relishing in my shock. “I must say, you were easier to fool than I expected.”
My entire body trembles with fury. “You sick bastard. What have you done?”
Andrew’s laughter echoes off the damp walls. “Nothing. Yet.”
“You think you can put your hands on her and get away with it?” I growl, my voice low.
He leans casually against the wall. “What are you gonna do about it, Dion? You’re tied up in case you forgot.”
My muscles scream in protest. “When I get out of these shackles,” I say, my breath coming in ragged bursts, “you’d better watch your back.”
