Chapter 6

Author: Cloudseeker
I gave Axel a look that was almost a smile. "Upset to see me alive? You've already started looking for someone new."

"That's not true, Anna! I had to do it!

"They said they'd hurt me if I didn't give you up! You wouldn't want to see those guys hurt me, right?"

I laughed calmly. "Of course not. I'd like to be the one hurting you instead!"

Axel's face turned pale in a flash, and he quickly sent the girl next to him away.

When he faced me again, his expression turned stormy, and he glared at me with fury. "Even though I have no idea how you got back, do you really think a nobody like you can take me on? That's just ridiculous!" Axel eyed me with a mean glint. "You're worth so much. I could sell you once, and I can do it again!

"If you dare to spread this, just you wait for what I'll do!"

I could not help but laugh. "Axel, you're really shameless. Just wait. Payback's coming!"

Axel obviously did not take my words seriously. He figured I could not lay a finger on him. He kept on w

    Adrian looked pretty grim, but he still put on a smile for me."Fiona, don't stress. I'll track him down and make sure he learns what it costs to mess with you!"Just focus on your studies. I've got everything else covered!"I could not help but smile.It was not long before they found him.Adrian came to me, beaming with pride, hoping I would pat him on the back for what he had done.I could not shake the feeling that he had let Axel try to run away on purpose.Just one crime was not enough to make Axel really hurt. He needed to be slapped with more charges.This godfather's tricks were way more sinister than I ever thought possible.In the video Adrian sent over, Axel was sobbing, begging to be set free.Then, he started talking about the good times we had shared over the years."I really do love Anna! I just got mixed up and made a mistake. Please let me go!"I need to see Anna. I need to say I'm sorry! We were so happy together. I can't believe she'd just drop me!"Let

    Footsteps echoed outside the door, and then it swung open.Axel's eyes widened in shock at the sight of the person who walked in."Mr. Lyon?!"I could not help but let out a giggle. Almost everyone knew who the youngest mafia Boss around was.However, actually meeting a mafia Boss and recognizing him was rare."Axel, how did you know he's the godfather? You said you didn't know those people, right?"Adrian came over and casually put his arm around my waist. I shot him a look but did not pull away, and he stood a little taller, clearly feeling more confident.Axel looked panicked, his eyes shifting everywhere."I-I know a lot of people!""You sure do. Not only do you know me, but you also know my casino contact."Adrian let out a scoff, and Jack tossed a photograph of Tony at Axel's feet.Tony looked miserable in the photograph, too sad to look at.Axel was so scared he dropped to his knees, scrambling for an excuse."I-I was forced into it!"Tony said you were the one who

    Adrian signaled, and the others were taken away. The only one left was Tony, who had grabbed me first when I was dumped at the casino. His arms and legs had been broken, and he was shaking uncontrollably. "Axel must have fled back to his home country. He always bribes the thugs with money when he's caught. I got a cut, so I let him go."I was wrong, Mr. Lyon. Please forgive me. I won't do it again!"As Tony said that, he could not stand any longer and fell to the ground. Someone dragged him out.Adrian looked at me, his face serious. "Fiona, don't worry/ I'll make things right for you!"I'll bring that Axel to you!I shook my head."No. I want to take care of it myself!"It would be embarrassing if I could not get my revenge as the Sawyer family's only daughter.Adrian understood what I meant, his eyes full of love for me."Fiona, I admire your determination, but can I have a chance to make things right? I'll be the best help you could have. Just tell me what you need."I l

    In the car to the port, I was tied up and dumped in the back seat. I watched as Axel was freed from his ropes. He pulled out a card, handed it to two goons, and walked off."Axel, you liar and cheat!"I yelled until my throat hurt, tears and spit flying.One of the goons punched me in the head, and the world spun.He was about to hit me again, but a phone call interrupted him."You idiot! Stop the car now!"Adrian's voice burst from the phone, making the driver jump and slam on the brakes.In a flash, a black sedan zoomed up to us, skidding to a halt with a dramatic swerve.The door swung open, and there was Adrian, his face a mask of panic.He rushed over and gently pushed the hair from my face, shaking all over."Fiona! I'm here, Fiona!"I managed a weak smile for him, relieved that I would not have to face death.However, a moment later, darkness took me, and I passed out.When I woke up, I could not tell how much time had passed. My body felt like it had been through a

    "We found Ms. Sawyer's passport and ID near the casino, all torn up."Adrian was furious."You idiots! Why didn't you tell me sooner? Where is she now?! Find her!"If anything happens to Fiona, you'll all be shark food!"I heard fast footsteps.They were coming my way!I forced my eyes open, feeling a new strength.I followed them but only saw Adrian and his crew rushing into the casino.His Underboss, Jack, spotted me."Mr. Lyon, a woman escaped during all the confusion."Adrian scowled, glanced at the dirt on me, and looked away, not giving me another thought."This doesn't matter! Just deal with it. I need to find Fiona now."'I am Fiona. I'm right here!' I wanted to scream.However, when I tried to speak, only blood spilled out.My face was a mess of blood and so swollen I did not even look like myself anymore. Adrian did not even recognize me.I felt so hopeless as the bad guys closed in that I just sat down on the ground.However, Adrian suddenly stopped walking.
