CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

ADRIAN’S POV

I was meant to fly back to the states but for some reason, I stayed back in Malta. Our goods had been returned with no trace of the people who took them. It was from dead end to dead end while we were trying to find the perpetrators. I couldn’t spend my time there while they were trying to find them. I had more important business to attend to back home but I didn’t leave.

It had been almost twelve hours since I sent Isabella a text message. I also called her several times but of course, she didn’t pick up. I was beginning to question if it was all worth it to make my mum happy.

I took out a cigarette from the pack and brought out my lighter from my back pocket. The cigarette sat between my lips while I snapped the lighter open and lit the cigarette. I inhaled deeply and let the smoke fill my lungs and I tilted my head back and exhaled into the early morning breeze.

The sound of the door opening distracted me. Seb joined me on the balcony.

They’re weak.”Julius slid one hand behind my shoulder and the other beneath my thighs and carried me bridal style. I winced at the contact.“Are you okay?” He asked but I couldn’t speak. I didn’t have the strength to.“Now’s not the time for questions. Let’s get her to a hospital.” Sebastian said and started walking towards the door.Julius follow

I struggled and finally opened my eyes.It was dark but I was sure it was bright as hell outside. I tried to move but I realized I was bound to a chair. My legs were tied and another rope was wrapped around me tying me to the chair.I tried to scream but there was a cloth in my mouth. I rocked the chair trying to break free but I only made it worse because I fell to the ground along with the chair. Pain shot through my body when I hit the ground. I couldn’t even cry because my body was too tired to do that. I was hoping desperately that someone would come, so I would have an idea of what I got myself into. I laid on the ground helplessly until I heard a door open from behind me. The lights also came on and I heard footsteps approaching. I looked around and it looked like I was in a warehouse, an abandoned warehouse. The
