Chapter 205
Sebastian was driving to the location where Mr. Leroy's car was parked.
He had gotten the message from Zeno and immediately set out to find him.
Mr. Leroy must think he was a fool, he had known all this whole that he was involved with the Mafia. That was why he did a background check on him the moment he came to Paris; he found out all his hideouts, and he knew the exact one he had taken Zeno. However, he never suspected that Mr. Leroy would be the one they'd been searching for; his records never mentioned that he'd been affiliated with Zeno's parents; if he knew, he would never have let Cassian near Zeno, and he would definitely not have gotten involved with the Leroy's.
He had asked his father's men to send his mother home before asking Andre to drive him to Zeno's location.
His phone rang for the third time and he decided to answer it this time, "Father," he spoke.
He frowned as he listened to what was said.
"You've messed up big time, son, and this time, you can't blame me for not being together with Zeno in the end. This time, it's on you, unless you manage to find a way out for yourself," his father said.
Sebastian frowned, "What do you mean, Father? Tell me something if you know something, Father?" He stared at his phone and realized that his Father had ended the call the moment he finished speaking.
"Damn, drive faster, Andre," He sighed, tapping his feet on the floor of the car.
His phone rang again, and he quickly answered it, thinking his father was calling back, but frowned when he heard Sakura's voice.
"Hi, Sebastian, I've just arrived -"
"Well, talk later, Sakura. I've got to manage something right now," He ended the call and threw the phone on the other side of the seat.
His eyes remained on the road until their car stopped in front of the small building where Mr. Leroy was hiding Zeno, but, something was off.
He quickly got out of the car and frowned; from the door of the house, he saw men lying dead; their blood was still flowing slowly, indicating that it had been a long time since they were killed.
"Check-in," He ordered Andre.
Andre nodded and pulled out his gun before stealthily going inside the house.
He soon emerged and shook his head at Sebastian, "Same as outside, boss," He informed.
Sebastian couldn't understand what was happening; he stepped into the house and realized that the living room looked messed up with hikes on the walks and sofas, glasses broken, and tables broken.
Someone else was here, probably Mr. Leroy's rival, and had taken him away with Zeno. He knew they were still alive because he could only see the bodies of Mr. Leroy's men lying around the floor.
Whoever this rival was really unarmed Mr. Leroy, they left no survivor.
He was about to leave the house when he saw Zeno's shoes beside the sofa, he quickly picked them up and marched toward the exit.
"Boss, I think a phone is vibrating in his pocket," Andre pointed to the man lying in front of the door.
"Get it," Sebastian said and left the building.
Andre quickly went over to the man and fished the phone out of his pocket, "I'll be damned," He muttered and quickly hurried over to the car.
He got in and handed the phone to Sebastian, "Boss, it's Zeno's phone," He said.
Sebastian took it from him with a frown; the man must have taken it from Zeno when he realized he was sending him a location; too bad he was dead already; he would have loved to kill the man himself.
The phone suddenly vibrated and Sebastian read the message on the screen.
He sighed and handed the phone to Andre, "We have just ten minutes to get to that location," he said.
"On it, Boss," Andre said and stepped on the gas, driving away from the massacre scene.
Sebastian was quiet but his head was loud with wandering thoughts.
Who got Zeno now?
Was he alright?
What do they want?
Andre kept to time; Sebastian was surprised to see his car pulling up in front of a mansion, a beautiful one at that.
And for him to be amazed by the mansion spine volumes of how luxurious it looked.
The moment their car parked in front of it, they were surrounded by armed guards.
Again, Sebastian was surprised that someone was trying to match up with his wealth.
"Boss, we're surrounded, how do we get out of the car?" Andre asked quietly, looking around at the mean bodyguards who were standing around their car.
"Unlock the doors," Sebastian ordered.
If they wanted to hark them, they wouldn't have let them drive all the way in, and they were the ones who asked them to meet here, so they weren't going to hurt them.
"Yes, boss," Andre replied.
Sebastian slowly opened the door and stepped out of the car, his hands raised beside his head to show that he came in peace.
One of the guards approached him and searched him from head to toe, taking out the guns he found in his body.
"You're Mr. Sebastian?" The bodyguard asked.
Sebastian smirked, "You know it," He replied.
The bodyguard didn't like his reply, he frowned, "If you want to proceed inside, you will have to answer all my questions, are you, Mr. Sebastian Orion -"
"Sebastian, you kept to time. What's going on here? Get your men away, Kelvin, we've been waiting for him inside," Nana came out from the mansion and went to Sebastian; the bodyguards made way for her as she approached.
Sebastian was first surprised before realization dawned on him.
"Nana?" He called with narrowed eyes.
Andre, who was standing beside Sebastian, couldn't believe his eyes; he wondered why he never suspected the sweet old lady.
She hooked her arm around Sebastian's and started to lead him inside the house; Andre slowly followed them behind, not after giving Kelvin a victorious smirk.
"Zeno's been waiting, took you long enough to find him," Nana chuckled.
Sebastian shook his head, "His parents, huh?" He asked as they walked through the huge door.
Nana shrugged, "You'll find out," She replied as she led him into the massive living room.
Sebastian's radar immediately found Zeno, comfortably sitting on the sofa, his back facing him.
He knew Zeno was still unaware of his presence, so he quietly removed his hand from Nana and slowly approached Zeno. However, as he was about to place his hand on Zeno's shoulder, he felt a gun behind his head; his eyes were rather focused on Zeno's fed ey
"Don't lay your hands on my son, Sebastian Orion," He heard a man's voice behind him.
Zeno immediately snapped his head behind him and met Sebastian's frozen gaze, he quickly moved his gaze to the person behind Sebastian.
"Dad, what are you doing?" Zeno asked cautiously.
"You cried?" Sebastian asked calmly, focusing on Zeno's red eyes, ignoring the gun behind his head.
Zeno walked around the sofa and stood beside his father, "Take the gun away from him, Dad," He said in a calm tone.
"This is why we hid our identity from you, Zeno. We've protected you for years, just for you to form and end up with a Mafia, life is dangerous; you can't survive the cruelty," Mr. Evander said, anger simmering in his voice.
Zeno scoffed, "I would have been dead two years ago if not for Sebastian's protection; at least he was honest about who he was; that's why I fell in love with him. If you didn't want that to happen, you should have never left me in his care in the first place," He reasoned.
"Love?" Mr. Evander chuckled.
"There's no such thing as love for a young Mafia. He's bound to break your heart, either from external pressure, or family pressure," Mr. Evander cocked his gun.
"Does that mean you cheated on your poor wife when you were younger, Mr. Evander?" Sebastian turned and stared right at the gun, his eyes calm.
Zeno muttered a gun, "This is not the time to get cocky," He frowned at Sebastian.
"Don't worry, babe, he's not gonna kill me, he knows it'll hurt you, and he wouldn't want to hurt you more than he'd already done," Sebastian smirked.
Mr. Evander chuckled, "I dare you to say it again," He pressed the gun harder against Sebastian's head.
Sebastian was about to speak when Nana dragged a woman to the scene, "Ask your husband to stop his madness this instant," Nana said to the woman.
The woman sighed and approached Mr. Evander, "Quit being a child, Carlos, let the kids be; you have Mr. Leroy waiting for you down there," The woman smiled at Zeno before pulling the gun out of Mr. Evander's hand.
Sebastian knew without a doubt that she was Zeno's mother; he was a striking image of his mother; he even had her blue eyes.
"But -"
"No buts, Carlos, go attend to Leroy, and you can come join me and the boys later," Mrs. Evander said to her husband.
Mr. Evander gave Sebastian a pointed look, "Jeep your hands away from my son, Son of Orion," He warned before waking away.
Zeno sighed in relief and hugged Sebastian tightly.
"I told you they were inseparable," Nana whispered to Zeno's mother.
Mrs. Evander smiled and cleared her throat, "Hello, Sebastian, I'm Irene, Zeno's mother," She introduced herself, offering him a handshake.
Sebastian slightly lowered his head in respect and shook her hand, "Nice to meet you, Irene," He kissed the back of her hand.
Irene smiled, glancing at Nana, "Please, sit down, Sebastian. I might have saved you from my husband, but that doesn't mean I approve of you and my son. Unless you prove otherwise, please, let's get sitted," She took Zeno's hand and led him away from Sebastian.
