Bound to the mafia Chapter 133: Running Out of Time
Michael’s POVMy eyes moved from the door to the windows, then settled on the iron protectors covering them. An idea struck me.I raised my gun and began shooting at the iron bars, targeting the points where they were connected to the wall. The first few shots only made the metal vibrate. I adjusted my aim and fired again. One of the connections finally gave way.“Michael, hurry!” one of my men yelled. “They’re increasing in numbers!”“I can see that!”I fired the remaining shots until the iron protector came loose. Then I grabbed it and pulled it away from the window.“Help me move her!” Two men rushed over, and together we moved Mrs. Ashford towards the window.“What’s the plan?” one of them asked, glancing nervously towards the door.“We’re going down.” I pointed towards the bed. “Move everything you can. Block that door!”Immediately, the men sprang into action. We pushed the bed against the entrance and piled whatever furniture we could move on top of it. The banging against the

Ava’s POVI washed my face, changed, and hurried downstairs to meet Michael and the other men waiting beside the car. The moment I got in, we drove straight to the mountains. By the time we arrived, it was already six in the morning.We didn’t waste any time. We climbed into the helicopter, and within minutes, we were on air. I watched as the men began preparing themselves. Some strapped on their body armor, others checked their guns and loaded their weapons. The metallic clicks of weapons being prepared filled the helicopter.Michael handed me a bulletproof vest. “Here. Put this on,” he instructed.I took it from him and quickly slipped it over my clothes, adjusting the straps. “Is everyone ready?” Michael asked, looking around.“Yes, sir!” the men responded almost simultaneously.I glanced out of the window. The mountains were gradually disappearing beneath us as we headed towards our destination. By the time we reached the hotel, it was seven.From above, the building looked like a

Ava’s POVFour men stepped out. My eyes immediately settled on one familiar face. The same man. My fingers tightened around Michael’s hand. I quickly lowered my head, hoping he wouldn’t recognize me.The man approached us, his gaze shifting between our car and the two of us. “Why is your car parked here?” he asked, narrowing his eyes.Michael didn’t hesitate. “We’re looking for somewhere to stay for the night. We have to get on a ship tomorrow, but unfortunately, the hotel over there is fully booked.”The man glanced briefly at the hotel before looking back at us. “Oh, I see. We can take you to another hotel. There’s one not too far from the port, if you don’t mind.”I exchanged a quick glance with Michael.“Oh! That’s really nice of you guys,” Michael responded with a polite smile. “But we can manage on our own. Don’t worry, babe. I’ll make sure we don’t miss tomorrow’s ship.” He gave my hand a gentle squeeze.I immediately caught on. “Of course, darling. We still have enough time,”

Ava’s POVFortunately, some of Michael’s men were already positioned nearby, waiting for him to make a move. The moment the vehicle pulled out, one of them immediately followed.Michael pressed his communication device. “Never loose sight of that vehicle. And what make is that?.”“Grey Range Rover,” came the response.“Alright. Keep your distance. We’re right behind you.”We hurried back to our car and drove after them, relying on the directions coming through Michael’s communication device.The further we drove, the quieter the surroundings became. The busy streets gradually gave way to a lonely pathway, with fewer vehicles and barely anyone walking around. Then, from a distance, we spotted the Grey Range Rover.It was parked beside a small building. Michael slowed down, observing the surroundings before speaking into his device.“We have to stop here, boss. We don’t want to raise suspicion.”He parked the car at a reasonable distance, and we got out. The area appeared to be a local
Bound to the mafia Chapter 129: A Lead at Moonbay Port
Ava’s POVI wrapped my arms around Vindell, pulling him into a tight hug before rising on my toes to capture his lips. He returned the kiss, his hands settling around my waist.When we finally pulled apart, I rested my palms against his chest. “One more thing. Draft another file for Mr. Blackwood.”His brows drew together. “What is it again, Ava? Don’t tell me you’ve come up with another one of your brilliant plans.”I chuckled. “Think about it. If I end up having news, wouldn’t that be something? So, while you pretend to go in there to surrender yourself, you’ll actually be carrying more bullets.”He stared at me for a moment before a chuckle escaped his lips. “Bullets? You must think you’re some kind of superwoman.”“I’m not trying to be a superwoman. I’m simply making sure we’re prepared for whatever happens.” I tilted my head, holding his gaze. “Besides, I’ve been recording those calls. That’s enough evidence to expose Mr. Blackwood and Kate for kidnapping, illegally influencing p

Ava’s POV“Then explain why the movements are so deliberate.” I said, pointing at the video“People move their hands when they talk.” Vindel replied “Not like that!” I took the phone from him and opened the page again. “Look. I searched for ports beginning with those two letters. There were several with C, but Moonbay is the only one I found beginning with M. And look at its logo. That half moon resembles the C her hand was forming.”I zoomed in on the logo and placed the phone in front of him. “Don’t you see the connection?”Vindell studied the screen “Moonbay Port,” he muttered.“Yes! Crescent Berger owns it. What if that’s where they’re keeping your mother?. Can we do a thorough search on Moonbay?”“Ava, it will be pointless.”My smile gradually disappeared. “What?”“I just have today. No time.” He pushed his chair back slightly and stood. “I’m sorry, Ava, but I can’t risk it anymore. I have to start fabricating Mr. Blackwood’s evidence, and that’s not an easy feat. Whatever I pro
