   Julius's POV

"She just went inside boss"
One of my men informed me from the other end of the phone

"Okay.
Just stay at your posts and keep me updated"

"Yes boss"

I had installed security to keep a close eye on Vera.
It's been easier ,seeing as she spends most of her time in the garden within my men's reach and eye range.

Yes it may be creepy but I couldn't risk it.
They may plan to ambush home while I'm at work ,although their attack will be futile. My house was built like a fortress but still, I couldn't take any risks.
I couldn't risk her.

I found it very difficult to do basically anything when I remembered I had kissed Vera last night under the influence.
I wasn't heavily drunk,I remembered small pieces, but the kiss was the part I couldn't forget.

I had no idea what she thought about me now.
It would be so awkward now.

I was stressing over it and not paying attention to work matters; why Cyrus decided to stay home yet again.

He has been doing it alot lately and I'v been suspicious of him.
What I was suspicious of him about I had no idea. I just had this feeling something was not right.

A few hours had passed and I was finally able to sign papers for our goods departure and review some other documents.
I decided to check up on the guards.
Non of them were meant to enter the house but one. He was my head of security ,Lionel.

"Lionel.
How is everything going?
Where's Vera now?"

The other end was silent for a while before I heard a shuffling noise

"Boss.
There's a big problem"

I stood up remotely, my heart thumping in my chest with anticipation.

"What problem Lionel?"

"Vera has been kidnapped"
My heart sank.

"Are you sure!

Check everywhere!
Hell!!
Check her room if you have to!"

"Boss.
Mrs Juliette and I have checked the whole house but she isn't here and the living room is a mess"

My blood was boiling as my mind went through different experiences she could be going through right now

"How the fuck did this happen!
Your units were all standing guard so how the fuck was she kidnapped and non of your morons noticed!"

"Sorry Boss.
There was just no mischievous or odd activity going on."

"What happened in the last fucking hour.
Did anyone leave the house!?"

"Yes boss.
Cyrus left the house about two hours ago"

"Okay!
Send out search cars.
Cover the area.
Vera has to be found!
Half of your men should stay back and watch the house"

"Okay boss"

My mind was racing as I dialed Cyrus's cell

"Boss?"

"Cyrus.
Where the fuck are you!"

"What's the matter
Boss?"

"I asked you a fucking question now give me a fucking answer" I roared through the phone

"Boss I went to deliver some of our goods to the borders myself.
We have been receiving complaints that the last shipment there were three to four crates missing so I went to supervise.
Everything okay boss?"

I put down the phone.
If it was only Cyrus that left then how did they go in and out without any of the guards seeing them.
My phone rang and I picked it

"What the fuck do you wa-"

"Oh now.

Slow your roll Mr Chrysantos.
You shouldn't have such a hot temper"
Ludwick's oddly calm voice came through and it angered me

"Fucking bastard where is Vera.
You better not have harmed a hair on her head"

"You see Julius.
By killing Vera I would actually be doing you a favour.
You know in this line of work.
It's mafia before family
Mafia before love
And mafia before life.

And as I can see here very clearly you have put your love for this girl before the mafia and that is not a good thing now is it Julius?"

"Where is she!?"

I tried my best to stall him as I told someone to track his location through the phone he used.
As long as it was on it could be tracked which was what was being done

"Calm down Julius.
I'll let you talk to her but you'll have to say your last words.
She's been crying
She's really being a nuisance "

I heard a metal door being rolled and a thud was heard before I could hear audible sniffling and quiet sobs as it broke my heart.
A knot formed in my chest as I heard her cries

"D-doll?"

"J-julius
P-please please save me"
She choked on her tears and it broke my heart all the more.
I couldn't bare it but it meant I got her location then I could endure it

"Don't cry doll.
Everything will be alright "

I needed this more than ever.
I wasn't even sure if it was going to be alright all I knew was I was going to do everything in my power to save her and at any cost, my life inclusive

"I-i'm scared p-please"
The more she begged the more my heart broke into smaller pieces

I got a message that the location had been found.
I silently sent out a group to sweep the perimeter and wait for me.

"Don't cry doll.
Just keep talking to me.
You'll be fine
Don't let anyone see your tears.
Your my strong, feisty doll"
I tried the best I could to help her calm down in such a situation but i didn't know if she had any injuries on her.

"Awwn
That's sweet.
Well times up"

"No p-please"
I heard her beg then a lash sound came and I heard wimping .
My blood boiled.

"What the fuck was that!"

"I told you she was being a nuisance.
A lash on the face would do her some good  don't worry about it"
I balled my hands into fists and my blood boiled

I swear if i get my hands on him I'll snap his neck like a twig

I heard the metal door close

"What do you want Ludwick.
I'll give you anything"

He chuckled and it only made my blood boil the more

"Come here and we can discuss.
But if you don't come alone your lil doll goes to Disney Land "
I could sense a sinister smile on his face

"Okay.
But till then do not lay a hand on her or else you know what I can do.
I'll hunt you down and burn you till your skin peals "
I put down the phone satisfied I was able to instill fear in him.

I rushed out with my suit jacket and informed Aldonis and Lionel to stay hidden

I was on my way
