LOGINBack in the security room.Fidelia stared at the screen in horror, her hand covering her mouth. "Oh my God. Mia and Maya"Andrian's sister was seriously injured and her best friend was on her knees with a gun to her head, with blood on her face. Because of her."Andrian, what are we going to do?" Her voice was rising with panic.Andrian said nothing. His face was unreadable at this moment. But his hands were clenched so tight his knuckles had gone white."ANDRIAN!" Fidelia screamed, grabbing his arm.He suddenly slammed his fist down on the table with such force that the monitors shook. Then he took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, his chest heaving.He didn't want to believe it. Even after seeing all the signs, all the evidence Kira had presented, part of him had wanted to ignore it. To believe Mace was still loyal. That there was some explanation.But there wasn't.Mace had killed his own men. Mace had betrayed him. And now Mace was using Mia and Maya as bait."How lon
Andrian led her safely away from the building. Then they stopped to catch their breath."Are you okay?"Fidelia looked shaken but nodded. "So what do we do now?""We need to reach the security room." Andrian pulled out his pistol from where he'd hidden it under his jacket. "I need to get the cameras back online and contact my team."Fidelia's eyes widened. "You have a gun? You brought a gun to your wedding?""Yes, I do.""What are you doing with a gun?""Because I need it.""Wait—did you know something like this would happen?""How would I know our wedding would be raided by my enemies?" Andrian moved forward cautiously, checking corners. "I just made preparations in case of trouble. I always make preparations.""Hmmm. That's... actually..." Fidelia adjusted her wedding dress, using it as an excuse to not finish her word."That's actually what?" Andrian pressed."Actually okay, I mean.""I can see the lie in your eyes. You wanted to say smart.""Ahemm... So what's the plan?" She cover
Zayn stood in the center of the main hall, surrounded by terrified hostages, and he smiled coldly.The fear he was causing the terror and chaos he caused, he loved it.‘Fear me, bow before me’ He said in his mind as a smile tore widely across his face.His men had searched every room in the immediate vicinity. No sign of Andrian or his new bride."They're not in this building," one of his lieutenants reported. "We've cleared every room, every closet. They're gone."Zayn's jaw tightened with frustration, but he nodded calmly. "Then expand the search. This island isn't that big. Check every building the guest cottages, the pavilion, the boat houses, everything. I want them found within the hour.""Yes, sir." The gang member barked orders into his radio, and teams of armed men began fanning out across the island.They two gans members rushed forward to meet Zayn and Victor.“Boss, two of our guys were knocked out in one of the rooms and I think it was Andrian seeing as a clothing was tie
In the private room, Andrian heard every word through the door.His teeth ground together. His hands balled into fists.They were hunting him and Fidelia. Using innocent people as leverage.And his father and grandmother were now being held as hostages."Andrian," Fidelia whispered. "What do we do?"Andrian looked at Fidelia, seeing she was at the point of panicking. It was obvious she'd never experienced anything like this before, but he was rather calm.Years of training and real fights as a Mafia boss had prepared him for situations like this. He just had to think of a way out."Fidelia, calm down." He placed a hand on her shoulder, seeing how she was shaking and terrified."We are going to get through this.""Andrian, they have guns. Several guns. And we can't contact the cops." It was obvious why she was scared."That's why I need you to calm down. Breathe." She did as he said."Do you trust me?""What... no. I barely know you." Andrian's expression went blank. "But looking at th
Midway after Kira's call dropped, Andrian tried contacting Mace, but the network link was dead. His phone showed no service, not even a flicker of connection.His hand moved to his watch as he tried switching to the backup system, then the emergency line. Nothing. Even the satellite phone linked to April's independent network wasn't responding.It felt like something was jamming everything."Fuck," Anderan muttered. "April, are you there?"There was no answer.It was as if every network on the island had been shut down.He checked the Fidelia's phone and it same result. They were about to step outside the room when the gunshots erupted.BANG! BANG! BANG!The shots came from the main hall, not far from where the family dinner was happening. Screams followed, rising into chaotic panic."What the hell is going on?" Fidelia whispered. Fear was already settling into her voice. This was the first time she had ever heard gunfire this close. No one could blame her for shaking.Andrian edged t
Fidelia thought she saw someone thay looked like ber briefly but the person vanished oiut of sight. so she threw the thought at the back of her mind.The wedding party went on everyone doing one or two after the celebrations and all the whole Richardson and Crawford family all moved together to have dinner together even the Carson Family joined. Staring from Elijah, Eleanor, Clarissa Damien's mother who just arrives, Helen, Aunt Hela, Damien, Charles, Maya, to the Carson family, Silas and his father then Crawford Family, Alice, Derek and Bridget.Oh yeah including the Husband and WifeThis dinner was called upon by Eleanor Richardson the chairwoman of the Richardson Corporation, literally everyone had to give her face and appear. “Ahem” She used her spook to tap her cup getting everyone's attention. “Thank you everyone for coming to showing up to my Grandson's Wedding and for this dinner. The reason I call it was to unite the three family. Richardson, Carson and Crawford. Well alth
