RECLAIMED BY THE RUTHLESS MAFIA のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

LUAN'S POV (The Previous Day)Klevis slammed the door of the torture room behind him as he left. For a moment, I stood in the torture room, my knuckles aching from the punch I had given him earlier. My anger hadn't subsided - not even close. Suddenly, a feeling crept up in my chest.Regret?I quickly pushed it away.As a leader, regret was something I couldn't afford.It was a sign of weakness and I wasn't in any way weak.Finally I made my way out of the torture room and walked down the hallway. Although my steps were slower, my mind was restless.The house felt too quiet. Too empty. As if I was the only one living in it.I made my way to the room to look for Vera, climbing the stairs two steps at a time.Empty.The room was empty.There was no sign of Vera anywhere.The bed was nearly arranged. The curtains dances to the rhythm of the wind.My jaws clenched.I moved to the bathroom to search for her but it was empty.I checked other rooms in the house, still nothing. A feeling o

Klevis's POV When Luan’s name appeared on my screen after the text message I sent, a smirk appeared on my face.Fool. I thought you didn't want to take my calls. Now look who's calling. I thought I answered the call immediately and told him the situation at the warehouse. I waited until I saw the flash of the headlight of his car from afar before rushing into the warehouse.I carried out just two of the cartons of the products in the warehouse before Luan's men rushed in to assist.I pretended to look weak as I stumbled out of the warehouse, getting Luan's attention. When he saw me, he rushed over to my side to help me, asking me to leave the rest of the rescue to the other men.By the time the men were able to put out the fire, some of the products had already been consumed.Luan gathered the men around and gave them a day off to enjoy themselves at the club, all bills on him.The men cheered in excitement but I was still upset. If Luan was upset about the all fire incident, he w

KLEVIS'S POVThe car stopped a few meters away from the cabin, the trees perfectly hiding us.I had turned off the engine to avoid raising attention to us. The woods felt too quiet.I stepped out first, scanning the surroundings. The cabin sat crooked among the trees, smoke-stained walls almost hidden by vines. If I were a man on the run, a place like this is exactly where I would hide.“He’s in there,” Luan said beside me, his voice tight with anger. “I can feel it.”I turned to him slowly, measuring my words. This was the moment. One wrong sentence and everything would crumble.“Luan,” I said, lowering my voice, “You shouldn’t go in first.”He frowned. “Why not?” he asked.“This man burned a warehouse. He didn’t hesitate. That makes him reckless and dangerous. If there are traps inside, or if he’s armed, you’ll be walking straight into it.”“So will you,” he countered immediately.“That’s different,” I said, forcing a small smile. “You’re more valuable than I am.”He scoffed.

LAUN'S POV.I lost Klevis in the woods and tried all my best to find him. I even shouted his name as loud as I could. I already began to regret why I had agreed to his plan in the first place. Now, he was going to take the fall for me. Hearing the gun shot shattered my heart. For the first time in a very long while, fear gripped my chest. I have never felt that scared in years. The last time I felt that way was when my sister was being tortured when we were kidnapped as kids. All of these and more went through my head as I sat a little far away from Klevis in the hospital room. What was it called again? Yes, a ward. I watched Klevis lay there unconscious and helpless. I watched him fight for his life all because of me.I felt bad and my conscience judged me badly. Did I really deserve Klevis’s love and loyalty? That should have been me on that bed! I should have been the one shot by that good for nothing intruder but sadly he had to take the fall for me. I watched him from where I sat

LUAN.“Why would I try to escape?” I asked him. “Nobody knows yet.” He replied.I didn't bother saying another word to him because there was no point. I walked to the bathroom even though I had a hard time figuring out where it was. These people here were just crazy because all of them gave me different directions to the bathroom. I had to figure it out myself. As soon as I got inside, I pulled out my phone from my pocket on my right hand side. I unlocked as fast as I could. I went to my contact list on the phone application and searched for my lawyer's contact information. All I had to do was input his name on the “search contacts” bar. On the first dail and ring he picked up. “How may I help you Don Valdrin?” He asked.“I'm in so much trouble, I just need you to use your influence to hold these policemen off…” He didn't let me complete my statement before he cut in, “slow down. Tell me everything.” As soon as he said that, I heard Agent Peterson’s voice. He has just walked into the
