Lucian couldn't go against what Jessica had said openly and order his men to close the gate, as no one would be leaving until after the feast.Just as everyone entered the house, Raphael stood up and greeted them as they stared at him. The house became silent with no one saying anything, only for Ryder to break off the silence.“Where have you been?” Ryder asked as he walked up to Raphael, who stood quietly staring at him.Raphael, upon seeing Willow and Jessica together, then rushed over and held Willow with a smile on his face. Raphael made sure no one could notice his anxiousness as he looked around.Seeing Willow with Jessica, Raphael knew then that something had gone wrong at the warehouse. He looked around, wondering if Diana had been caught also, with his grip still on Willow.“Are you okay?” Jessica asked curiously.“Yeah, I'm fine.” Raphael repl
Chapter 181 Jessica's POV.I got to the entrance and stood staring at Lucian's car as he drove in, just as I was about to call out his name, only to see some other cars coming in with him. I stood staring at them, wondering who they were.I watched as the car all parked. I walked up to Lucian's car as he opened his door and stepped out of it. Lucian wasn't showing any reaction on his face as he looked at it with a strong reaction.I looked around as everyone else got out of their car and stared back at me. Lucian then stood beside me and asked how I was doing. I shifted my gaze at him and hissed, looking at Lucian.“Where is the willow?” I asked curiously with a sharp tone.Lucian kept his mouth shut, not saying anything as I stared at him, although he didn't show any response to my question and turned his face to the others.Gray then walked down to where Lucian and I were standing and openly said that he brought Willow out as she might be feeling all alone in the c
Chapter 180 Jessica's POV.I had rushed out of the house with the guard and then headed straight to the supermarket to meet the manager again, although the guard had tried talking me out of it, I had already decided to do what was on my mind.I head straight to the supermarket; upon arrival, as I stepped out of the car, the guard then rushed to me and asked that we go back, as the boss would be returning soon; he wouldn't be happy to not see me at home.Lucian had gone to get back Willow, and even though he didn't tell me openly, I heard whispers, but then again, a thought came to my head, leaving me wondering if he was going to fully get what he wanted.“You don't have to worry about that; your boss wouldn't be angry. Moreover, moreover I'm trying to assist him in my own way, so there's not going to be a problem.” I spoke, taking a deep breath.“But still…”I stopped the guard before he could continue his words, as I knew he was about to keep up with his discouraging w
Chapter 179 Author's POV.Diana screams out so loud with Lucian stabbing her head; the pain became more excruciating as he left the knife in her hand and moved it slowly just so she could speak.Ahhhh.Screams aloud.Lucian stares at Diana, who kept to herself, not giving in to what he wanted, as she believed speaking would mean giving up the only bargaining chip she had to keep her life.Diana realizes from the looks of things that Lucian won't forgive her this time, as he had warned her before that messing with his family will mean she'll be killed by his hand.“Where is the willow?” Lucian asked curiously while staring at Diana breathing strongly.Diana has lost lots of blood as she struggles to breathe while holding her strength up. She slowly raises her head up and stares at Lucian, seated and looking at her without any remorse.“I actually didn't think you could do this to me.” Diana spoke, struggling with her words as she stared at Lucian.Lucian scoffe
Chapter 178 Diana's POV.Lucian's grip around my neck tightened as I struggled to pull myself away from it. I stared at him from behind the mask, wondering if he would kill me upon seeing my face or not. He wasn't ready to let go, squeezing my throat strongly.“Who are you?” Lucian asked with his hand still on my throat.Arrg… arg“Let me go.” I spoke out, struggling with my words, hitting his hand continuously.I could hear gunshots everywhere, so intense that I knew everything I planned finally came to an end. Unfortunately for me, Raphael had already left before Lucian arrived. “I never thought that the one who could have the guts to kidnap my family is a female, a woman. Actually, actually I'm wondering who is behind you.”“Because there is no way a woman would dare mess with me all by herself, I did think that I brought my men to deal with a woman… what a joke.” I spoke with an angry voice.“I can't say anything; I'm shaking Let go, else I'll die.”“Can't
Chapter 177 Lucian's POV Everyone rushed out, heading to the entrance with the Mafia bosses and their men. I called Damon, Carl, and Gray to the side as they stared at me with their eyes wide open.I looked at them without saying anything. Gray looked around and turned back to me with Carl and Damon not saying anything either, although I knew very well that they were wondering why I called them.“What's going on, boss?” Gray asked curiously.“Yes, boss, you suddenly called us here separately and aren't saying anything. Is there something about the plan that you don't want others to know?” Damon asked, staring at me.I sighed.“Not really. The plan is as I have said, just a little something I need to do. I'll be going to see Lucian with him before coming to join you guys at the warehouse.” I replied, nodding my head.Carl then spoke up, asking if I intend to tell Jessica about finding out where Willow is, as he opened up that it wouldn't be a good idea, although
