♥ Chapter 18 ♥
05:50 '' Elara's room. '' Valley City. '' Zefinopolis
Axel Knight.
I let out a groan of frustration at being woken up once again, this time by the insistent ringing of my cell phone. Careful not to wake her in my arms, I manage to pick it up and see that it's Yenki.
'' Yenki, this had better be really urgent. '' I whisper in a low tone.
''Axel, we have a huge problem.'' His voice sounds worried, making me instantly alert.
''What's happened?
'' Jenny and the other women from the house of prostitution have been kidnapped by an unidentified group!!!
I'm speechless for a moment, struggling to keep my voice under control so as not to wake Elara.
'' What?
He remains silent for a few seconds.
''I'm surprised you're not shouting or swearing.
Careful not to wake her, I release myself from his embrace and walk away to the bathroom.
''What the hell happened, Yenki?
I demand, now in a more serious tone.
''Oh, you're back.
'' Yenki, damn it, I'm not kidding! Speak up!
'' Sorry, back to the point. On the cameras, we saw a group of men shooting at our security guards and taking some girls. We only managed to capture one of them, the others escaped. And we also have a photo of one of them, you can tell he's the leader.
'' I'm on my way.
I hang up and leave the bathroom, rummaging through Elara's closet and finding the clothes she bought for me. I quickly get dressed and grab a pen and paper to leave her a note. Furthermore, I leave the room carefully, heading for the boss's room.
I knocked on the door several times, agitated.
'' What the hell is this? '' Mr. Dante opens the door, irritated. '' Axel? I hope you have a good...
'' Sir, we have a big problem. The women from the house of prostitution and Jenny from the main nightclub have been kidnapped by an unidentified group. '' I interrupt quickly.
'' What!!? What the hell!
'' Yenki got a photo of one of them, and they took one too. He's in the basement.
'' I'll go with you, let me change.
'' Right, boss. I'll be in the car, waiting. '' I nod and hurry out.
I ran downstairs and out of the mansion, heading for my car.
Who are these lunatics? Oh, I'll make them pay for this, that's for sure.
My car door opens, and Mr. Dante slides in, taking his place next to me. Without wasting any time, I set off in the direction of the shed.
''What the hell happened?'' He asks, with a seriousness that makes it clear he's not joking.
'' I'm still trying to piece together the details, sir. Yenki called me on alert, informing me that there was a serious problem. It seems that a group broke into the house of prostitution, killing our security guards. We tried to catch them, but we couldn't get the women back.
'' At least you managed to capture one of them, right?
Yes, sir. Yenki said he has a photo of a guy who seems to be the leader.
'' Good. That one's going to sing. I'm looking forward to playing a bit. '' He lets out a mischievous grin.
I sigh, knowing what that implies.
''Sir, if he reveals where the women were taken, and if it's outside Zefinopolis, will we still go after them?
'' Of course we will, Axel. They are the property of Zefinopolis, and they belong to me. No one can take my girls from here with impunity. '' He replies, with icy determination.
I realize how much he cares about the women because he has promised them security.

We arrive at the shed and get out of the car, entering the place with determination. The tension in the air is palpable when everyone sees us, especially with Mr. Dante by my side.
"Where is the bastard?" he asks, his voice icy.
''In the basement, sir.'' Yenki replies, visibly tense.
''Come on, Axel.'' He starts walking towards the basement.
'' Yes, sir.
We follow in line, with Yenki and Drusk right behind. When we reach the basement, Dante opens the door with chilling determination.
'' Well, well, well. Look what we have here, it's Mr. Kidnapper. '' He says with a sinister smile.
The guy is tied to a chair.
''Go to hell. I won't say a word!" he replies, with a defiant smile.
Dante lets out a dark laugh.
'' Ah, perfect. That only makes things more fun.
He heads over to the torture table and picks up a box of needles.
Yenki and Drusk promptly obey, untying the man and removing his clothes as ordered by Mr. Dante. The man tries to struggle, but it's no use. Soon, he is tied up high, unable to escape. I watch as Drusk takes off his clothes, revealing a tense, sweaty body.
Dante puts gloves on his hands with a look of contempt.
''I don't want to touch you without these, it would be disgusting. The only person I touch is my beautiful wife.
'' I'm not afraid of you, you bastard! '' The man shouts at Dante.
Dante's cruel smile only widens.
