*SILIA*When I listened to this man’s voice I could at once recognize him as my captor from the strange words he had spoken in my ears moments before I had blacked out.From the way he had spoken to me then it looked like he knew me but I couldn’t for the life of me remember him.I had never once seen this face before…Green eyes angry and burning under the dim light over the door looked lethal. It was as if merely from those darkened and narrowed jewels one could determine the unsaid wrath that he was going to bring them. The aura shrouding him was of no ordinary man and for a second I wondered if I had been in a worse situation than I had thought.Greg, who had been ready to hit me, had cowered at the thunder of his voice and was hiding behind the blonde man who barely lifted his gaze to stare at the new predator.“I asked a question or do you fucking want to die,” the mystery man spoke again this time calmer in his tone but still very angry.The bald man who had been the last one h

*DRAVEN*“What the fuck do you mean she got kidnapped? How could that happen?” I asked storming in the room unable to decipher the message I had been sent. It was hard for me to believe that Silia got kidnapped in the short distance between the diner and the café that she had to make to meet Alfeo.I had been so careful with her protection all this while then how could a few minutes of her away from my eyes had caused this to happen?Was it Lisa behind this again?I couldn’t make sense of my thoughts. They clouded in my head and buzzed around while my heart hammered in my chest wildly at the images of Silia being tied and kept captive. Images of her terrified eyes accusing me of the situation haunted me.I could barely keep my emotions in check and I was pretty sure I was going to murder someone by the end of this day if I was unable to find Silia.“I don’t know what exactly happened but when I reached the café she wasn’t there and when I searched the area for her I found this guy in

*SILIA*I don’t know for how long I have been kept captive here but from the meals that I get three times a day I believe that it has been four days now.I had refused to eat in the beginning but Luca wouldn’t take no for an answer and had forcefully fed it to me with a spoon, threatening me to feed it to me with his own mouth if need be me. I might have called bluff if it was anyone else but he seemed weirdly excited when he proposed that and I couldn’t afford to check whether he would really go through with it or not.I am pretty sure I would vomit all over him and make him do something worse than what he already does.“How is my beautiful lady?” the metal door creaked open with the horrifying sound of that one man who I had come to hate almost as much as Lisa.I didn’t respond back bracing myself for a kiss or a grope like he usually would. My eyes closed and since I had lost my freedom on the second day of trying to make a dash for freedom when he had opened the door I stayed tied

*SILIA*When my eyes watered enough to get out the soot and dust I blinked it rapidly to get my vision right only for me to shut it close once again at the spectacle before me.Was that what I thought it was?Shuddering from what I had seen I slowly opened my eyes to see a single cut hand bleeding and detached strewn on the ground near the rubble undoubtedly belonging to Lily.“No. No. No! This can’t be, Lily!” I shouted struggling in my seat to get out of my ropes and somehow go and search for her. I wanted to believe that the hand wasn’t hers and I wanted to believe that she was safe but the gut wrenching sight before me wasn’t helping the case even a little bit.In my struggle and my worry to get out of my bounds I fell from my chair and tried to somehow shift towards the debris, to do something but soon after I smelt a pungent odor as blood seeped out from under the pile of cement.“No! Lily! Please!” I shouted somehow wishing to see her or even hear her say something.There was n

*DRAVEN*“I am sorry but we had to pull our men back,” Alfeo said as soon as we reached there.“What happened here?” I asked, slamming the door in frustration, understanding well enough that even though we had got the place right, we had been a little late.Smoke rose up from different directions and when I took a few steps closer I could see that the entirety of one side of the mansion had been blown up with bricks fallen here and there. There were bodies strewn here and there like logs. Crumbled walls with fires still burning in a few places.“Wear this, the police and reporters will get here soon,” Diana said, bringing a cap and a set of sunglasses for me, making me notice only then that they had worn their own too with masks. Putting on the items along with a mask that I carried with myself.The police weren’t there yet and neither was the media but there were people crowding around the area chattering and watching while I recognized a few men of The Ravens hiding and lingering in
