NYSSA'S POV:As soon as darkness fell, I heard the engine of a car pull up next to the garage. I struggled against the ropes that bound me to the pillar once more, swearing inwardly as I fought for my freedom. In the past year, my life had gone from one unexpected twist to another. How did I just leave Roman Adams and now I was being kidnapped by Hugh, a boyfriend who I was sure I had left in the past? What did he have to gain by kidnapping me?The stranger who had been in charge of me approached, this time with two other men by his side. He pulled the rope off my mouth, then smiled at me. “It's time, woman. You're coming with us.”“Where…where are you taking me? I demand to know where I am being taken!”The two men who followed him loosened the ropes that bound me, then raised me to my feet. I wriggled impatiently in an attempt to be free from the harshness of their hands as they held me in place, but it was in vain. The stranger in charge retrieved a pack of cigarettes from his

ROMAN'S POV:I ran out of my study, acting purely on instinct. I got to Charlene's red convertible in time before she pulled it out of the garage. And without caring, I pulled my Glock from the waistband of my trouser, then pointed it directly at the windscreen of the car. “Get out of the car, Charlene. I want your hands where I can see them.”She stopped the car and opened the door slowly, the confusion evident on her face. Even Paul, who stood about a foot from me, stared at me as if I had gone mad. I didn't know what I was doing at that moment, but I felt strongly that it was right, so I continued anyway. “What's this, Roman?”I pointed the gun at her now, then gestured to the house with it.“Get back into the house.” When she hesitated briefly, I barked at her, my voice a growl. “Now!”She walked to the house slowly, her hands still in the air. Paul walked closer to me with the air of a man who was about to object, but seeing my countenance, quickly changed his mind. I kept m

ROMAN'S POV:In all my years of meeting Adrian Giovanni, I had never seen him look so angry and helpless at the same time. The mention of the Walkman clan had an effect on him, as if rescuing Nyssa was now impossible. Leonardo, his right hand man who was standing next to him shook his head. “I don't believe this, boss. What does the Walkman clan have to do with Nyssa Dimitri? She doesn't even matter in the grand scheme of things. How is it possible that Mr. Walkman wants her all of a sudden? Something isn't right.”I stared at him in disappointment. “Are you saying I'm trying to lure you to the Walkman's estate?” I turned to Adrian, ignoring Leonardo completely. “Even if I wanted to kill you, Adrian, trust me it wouldn't be this way. I gain nothing in luring you away from your home and killing you somewhere else…”“Allow me to think!”Adrian cried out, interrupting me. The veins on his forehead popped out dangerously, as if acknowledging the stress he was going through mentally. H

ROMAN'S POV:The moon was up in the sky when the first sixty men got into the five vans that was supposed to transport them to the Walkman estate. Adrian, who was their leader, barked orders to them as he got ready to enter one of the vans. I walked up to him, watching emotionally as men who didn't even know me personally were probably going to their deaths for a cause that wasn't theirs. “Roman.” Adrain called as the first couple of vans began to move. He was in the passenger seat of one of the vans, and in the driver's seat was his most trusted right hand man, Leonardo. “As soon as I breach the gates, I'll send the signal. You and the remaining men can start driving to the back gate now. That way, it'll make it easier for us to attack.”I nodded, grabbing his hand in solidarity. “Thank you for this, Adrain. Thank you.”He nodded and grinned at me as the van began to pick up speed. I stood from where I was, watching the five vans leave the Giovanni estate. The signal once the b

ROMAN'S POV:With every shot I fired into the main house of the Walkman clan, I prayed that Nyssa Dimitri wasn't caught in the crossfire. Just like we had expected, the Walkman clan had one of the best defensive structures amongst the other mafia families. Adrian and the sixty men had managed to penetrate within a mile of the gate, but with heavy shots pinging off the men and reducing their numbers as time slipped by. “I don't know if we can make it, boss. I've…I've never seen a very organized defence like this in years. They're so so good.” Paul crouching next to me, held his rifle in a manner that suggested that he was already tired of doing so. He popped two shots in the direction of some Walkman men who were crouched next to the main building. “It's the explosives they're using. They have constructed mines in places we don't know and if you don't move carefully, you'll find yourself blown into bits.”Paul shook his head as he glanced at the moon and then back at the watch on
