로그인Grace's PovI heard distant voices like they were talking far away from me but yet close. The voices were not familiar but at the same time familiar.Then, after some time, there was silence.Then a single voice. It was very faint. Familiar. I could barely even hear but some words were a little audible. Sorry. Miss. LoveThen I heard nothing again. It was like the voices in my head were dead. I tried to move but I felt a weight on my hand. I wanted to move the weight away but I couldn't. My hand was bound by a rope. I tried to move my legs but it was the same thing.“Who is there? Help!” I yelled, my mouth moving but no sound was coming from my mouth. I screamed again, but my voice bounced back against the wall in the room.“Please help me!” I shouted despite it. The door flung open and a tall man entered, the only light entering the room blocking his face from my view.He stood in front of the door after shutting it, looking at me tensely.“Help me please,” I pleaded but still n
Silvano's Pov “Silvano,” Luca's voice pierced through the room and my head snapped to the door. “She is responding,” he said, breathless like he had run all the way to where I was to tell me. Thank goodness. I sighed in relief as joy exploded in my chest and I smiled faintly before remembering Ivanov was about to call the name. I turned to him but saw his eyes were trained on Luca at the door. Should I wait to hear the name or go to Grace? I thought as I stared at Ivanov.It was hard to choose because I wanted the bastard's name so badly, I could already feel the rush of breaking the bastard's bones but I also wanted to be there for Grace. I wanted to be the first face she sees when she wakes up and opens her eyes, so I can tell her I have got her. That she was safe. I stood there staring at the man, not knowing what to do. “Silvano,” I heard Luca call me from the door. Antonio stepped closer to me and touched my shoulder, bringing me out of my thoughts.“You should go to her
MINUTES BEFORE RESCUING GRACESilvano's Pov IN RUSSIAThe black SUV drove along the countryside, the air inside the car thick with fury and adrenaline.I stared out the window, but all I could see was Grace's face, the image of hope in her eyes before I crushed it and the state she could probably be in. Since I knew what they did to her, I could barely function well or think straight. I would see her face anywhere I turned to, and I would hear her voice even in my dreams. It was driving me crazy. It wasn't easy finding their location but we eventually did. It was fv¢king Russia. We never thought of it for a minute.I wanted to storm there immediately, I knew their location, but my men stopped me from messing up our plans.If not I would have been on my way to rescuing her instead of being on my way to my warehouse.They were in an underground house on the outskirts of an industrial town, thanks to Valentina's rapid deployment of the DIE protocol. Twelve hours I gave her to find th
Silvano's Pov “I am not weak,” he said, gritting his teeth in anger. “Of course you are not. You are just a weakling. She didn't even flash her b**bs at you and you are already spilling your name. It makes me wonder what more you are willing to spill on her behalf.”“You bi*ch. You tricked me,” he screamed at Valentina. “No. You allowed yourself to be tricked. Now, Ivanov Dmitri, tell me where he is?” I asked.“I don't know who you are talking about,” he said. I nodded. I knew he was going to do that. I wish he would continue to be stubborn because it meant the fun was just starting.The anger I have been holding back would be channeled on him slowly, satisfying me of breaking him but not executing him. “Oh, you do,” I said, leaning back in the chair with a glint dancing in my eyes as I looked at him. “You know him too well and you are going to tell me his name,”“You can't force me into telling you what I don't know,” he said. “Yes, I can,” I said. I looked at Giovanni, signalin
Silvano's Pov Two hours went by, and Valentina hadn't given me any name yet. Those two hours I sat beside Grace's bed, staring at her, hoping she would open her eyes any moment. But nothing. There was no reaction from her. I looked at her wrist and noticed bruises and cuts. She was tied up for a long time. The mark of the bound was evident and it caused something furious in me. I looked back at her eyes and it calmed me a little. My phone beeped, and I looked at it. Valentina sent where the second-in-command bastard was. I looked back at Grace. “I wouldn't be gone for long. I just want to take care of something,” I said to her, even though she wasn't hearing me, and squeezed her hand. I waited for some seconds, hoping she would squeeze my hand back in understanding but she didn't. I sighed before bending and kissing her forehead. I left the room and found Luca outside waiting for me. He stood up as he saw me come out of the room. “Don't let anyone in except the medical team
Silvano's Pov The doctor's words sounded like a fresh stab of cold terror. I stood there listening to the doctor, the feeling of suffocation passing and getting replaced by a terrible, clear-headed calm.The panic had drained me, leaving behind a core of cold, sharp feeling in me. Luca was still talking to the doctor, getting all the details about her but my mind was absent. The only thing I cared about as I stood there absent-minded was finding the man who had torn her apart.I turned away from the doctor and Luca and walked slowly down the hall. I entered a room and headed to the bathroom. I needed a mirror to see the man who had failed her. I entered the bathroom and went to the mirror, gripping the sink while I stared at my reflection. My eyes stared back at me, almost unrecognizable. My eyes were bloodshot and hollowed out of fear. My jaw was clenched so tight the muscles in my neck stood out like ropes.I opened the tap and washed my hands under the running water before usi
