Chapter Fourteen
She was getting uneasy and fidgety while trying to sleep, thinking about Angelina. Angelina was living in this house for a long time against her desire. Why did Lamberto agree to help her now? Why didn't he go against his son when he kidnapped her? Was he playing games or What? Would they really let her go or would they kill her? Would Hebrew treat his wife the same? On the other hand, she was glad he wasn't going to marry Angelina but also worried about the girl who was being part of his cruel life. He would definitely make her life hell. What about the new girl? Shouldn't she warn her? She was peeping at the clock again and again. When it was a few minutes to complete two hours. She stepped out of the bed. She dressed up in black jeans and a full sleeve dark top. She carefully put on her shoes. Her hair was tied in a high ponytail. She picked up Liam's car keys from the small table and left the room. It was midnight. There weren't guards at this hour.
She waited in the parking lot. That was all she could do. She saw Lamberto and Angelina leaving the house. She chased them. They stopped to get in the car. She effortlessly found Liam's car. She didn't know its name but it seemed stylish to her. She unlocked it and got in the driver seat. She turned the keys. She followed their car. She was careful and alert all the time. She was driving at a safe distance from them. She didn't want to be caught. She wanted to see her safe and happy. She had reached the woods with the one-way road. It was surrounded by forest, thick and tall trees. It was dark in the car and outside. But the moon was enough. On her way out of the house and while following them, She wasn't getting good vibes from it. That was the reason she chose to chase them. She yawned and she was feeling tired. She glanced at the GPS of the car.
" San Francisco... " She whispered.
She turned her eyes on the road again. She saw them stopping the car.
" Why did he halt in the middle of the forest on this void road? She hid the car in the woods. She wanted to call her friends and Liam. She couldn't as she didn't have a phone. She didn't shut the door of the car as she was injured and this sneak out needed fastness. Cautiously she climbed down her car. She felt her wounded feet wet.
" It started to bleed. " She frowned and continued to walk. She stopped at a distance so she could watch them. She moved her gaze around. She could see a warehouse beyond the wood. Why would they bring them here? She glanced back at the car. She sucked in her breath when she saw Hebrew getting out of the car.
" I knew it. " She scowled and murmured.
She moved toward her car.
" Why are you in such a hurry sweetheart! " A loud voice called her from behind.
She turned back to see, " Hebrew! " She winced.
" I saw you. When you get in the car. " He shouted. He just smirked, evilly. He was twenty feet away from her. She ran back toward her car without glancing back. She climbed into her car.
' Thank God I didn't close the door. ' She called in her mind.
She locked the car and checked the back seat. Fortunately, she was the only one in the car. She ignited it. She made its move ahead and hit the Hebrew with it. A sharp squeak jumped from her lips. She reversed the car and sped up. Angelina and one girl came out of the car. She hit the Hebrew car from the back.
" Get in the car. " She shouted, opening the passenger door of the car.
The first time she wasn't guilty of hitting anyone. It benefitted her. Lamberto had run toward Hebrew. They jumped in the car. She locked it and speeded away.
" Liam will kill me. " She mopped.
" Hello, I'm Miley. " Girl smiled but her face was showing fear.
" Wow! What's your age girl? I was expecting a five years girl. " She was shocked.
" I'm turning sixteen soon. " She sped up her words
" Where are we going? " Angelina asked.
" I don't know. Where this road leads us. " She said.
" What about your husband? " Angelina asked.
" Wait! You're married. " Miley winced.
" Going to. " She paused, " Do you have a cell phone and any cash? Perhaps we need it. "
" I have a cell phone. " She said
" Can I make a call to my friends? Let me see if they can help us. " She licked her dry lips and quickly glanced back to check.
Liam was flying in her brain ' He will come back from the party, and found me and his beloved car missing. He is gonna piss off. '
" Sure," she said and unzipped her pants.
" What are you doing? " She almost shouted.
" She hides her phone in her secret pocket," Angelina said, her voice was shaking with fear.
" You are looking calm. Are you used to it? " Miley asked her.
" No, I'm astonished at myself." She watched her in the rearview mirror. She asked him to dial a number and put it on the speaker. It was ringing. She picked it up on the fifth ring.
" Who's this? " Ana's voice came as she was sleeping.
" Ana! It's me," she said.
" Rose! How are you? I'm missing you girl. Why didn't.... "
" I don't have time for all this. I'm in trouble." She instantly said.
" What! What do you mean by trouble?"
" Listen to me, Ana. " She almost commanded him, " Call Liam. Tell him I'm moving out of San Francisco. Hebrew and Lamberto are the reasons for it. They are chasing me. Tell him not to share this with anyone. It would put me in trouble. Can you do that? " She chewed her lips and waited for her answer.
" You are scaring me." Ana squeaked.
" Just tell him what I say. I can't cling to the phone the whole time. " She demanded.
" Okay. I'll do it. " Ana said.
" Thanks, Bye. " She murmured.
Her eyes filled with water. There was no time for tears and to show weakness. She wiped her eyes with her shoulders and fixed her eyes on the road.
" You can drive back home, just take my daughter with you. " Angelina broke the silence.
" No wayyy..." She and Miley squeaked at the same time.
" Don't worry about me. Liam will not harm me. But I'm not sure about..... um. When I'll be sure you both are safe. I'll drive back home." She said, She still remembered his threat. She couldn't endanger anyone's life. She was thinking of selling his car and gave the amount to Angelina.
" Are you sure? Liam is more dangerous than the mafia." Angelina said.
" Mafia? " She squeaked and halted the car with a jerk. Hacker's words echoed in her mind.
" I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say so. " Angelina contorted her face.
" Search his car. Maybe! Find something or some cash. " She told Angelina and started the car again. None of them tried to look back for a single second because of fear.
They nodded. They both started to search for help in his stylish black car.
" I found some cash and a gun. " Angelina said.
She looked at her hand and felt the depth of scare in her chest.
" I love this sports car. " Miley laughed.
" Thanks to this. We could make out of their grip." Angelina said, putting her hand on her heart.
She was sure about one thing. High security, camera everywhere, his commanding attitude, gun in his car, people feared him, including the monster like Hebrew. He's undoubtedly the mafia. She wanted him to confess it in front of her which he would never do, she knew it.

" I know how much you hate it. " Danil said.
" It's not hatred. I don't need a mafia tag to prove my strength and power. " He said.
He knew the rules of the Mafia. Only a legal son could be the heir as he was a child from the girl his father loved. It was Danil who should be the heir and on the Mafia throne. Only a few people knew the reality of Liam. Nicholas Rodriguez declared, his wife gave birth to twin boys. Danil and all mafia members believed him as he was the mafia boss. He was famous for his wit, cunning, ruthless and merciless behaviour and brain plus power. People called him Alpha at his back. All called Liam his second version with improvement.
" Every single person in this hall is aware of your capabilities. I can bet, brother. No one will dare to look in your eyes except your lady love." Danil winked at his brother and smirked. Danil bottomed up his drink.
Her name pulled a big smile on his face, " I'm done here. " He said, putting his untouched glass on the table.
" You are not drinking, brother. Do you happen to be teetotal? " Danil grinned silently.
He shook his head while smiling. He didn't wanna drink as it was hard for him to control his feelings for her. She didn't like the smell of alcohol. He clearly remembered her contorted face when she asked him, was he drunk?
" It's not that? I should go back to the room. She just loves to call troubles to hit her. " He said and patted his arm.
" As you wish, brother. " He said, picking up another glass.
He nodded at him, " My brother is your responsibility, Traves." He said.
" I'm not a toddler. " Danil raised his eyebrows, through the glass.
" I don't give a f***. I'm leaving my men behind. " He said and walked out of the club. Mansion was on the other side of the road. He did not need his car.
He was moving through the parking lot. He darted his gaze around. He couldn't see his Bugatti anywhere.
" Where is my car, Danny? " he asked with a growl.
" Let me check this, sir. " He hurriedly went to check it.
Is she alright? He thought and rushed to the mansion. He went into the elevator. It opened with a beep. He stepped out and scudded toward his room. The door was not locked. He found the bed empty. He checked the washroom. It was also empty. He raked his hair in frustration.
' Maybe. She can be with Angelina,' he thought.
He was moving fast with his long strides. He found Angelina's room empty too.
" What the fuck is happening? " he slammed his palm off the door. It banged with the wall and came back at his face again, making him piss. This time he hit it with his strong kick. Some part of it broke and part from its support.
" Sir, ma'am came to the parking lot and got in your car…." Danny came with the CCTV footage of the parking lot. He saw Rose fleeing away with his car. It made his blood boil in his veins. He kicked the wooden door again with more force. It hit the ground. His face was red with frustration and rage.
" Locate her. Send helicopters to find her in every corner of the city. " He shouted the orders. He took out his phone and ordained his men to find her.
Avidly, he was watching Danny run his fingers on the laptop and waiting for him to track her location. She had gotten under his skin. He couldn't afford to lose her. She had been his life.
" Sir Here is ma'am," Danny said, breaking the chain of silence, turning the laptop's face toward him.
He walked into the elevator. He did not wait for his bodyguard to hit the button. He punched the button to the terrace, where his helicopter was waiting for him. His phone vibrated in his pocket. Perhaps they might find her. He never prayed, but he was praying for her to be in good shape. He hoisted the phone to his ear.
