All Chapters of One Night, Now He Wants Me.: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Iris pov.It looked like a snake, but as I got closer I had a better view of what it was. I smiled as I slapped myself, trying to wake my somewhat sleepy self.“It was just wire, you worry too much girl.”My brain tried to attach meaning to it but could not, so I exhaled through my nose and turned back around.‘You're being dramatic, Iris.’ I thought to myself.That was the voice I'd inherited from years of talking myself out of reasonable fears. The same one that had told me Mike loved me and that Lena was my person.I kept walking towards my car, which was on the far end of the parking lot. For some reason, it felt like a long walk this evening. I pressed the key fob and my car lights blinked orange, twice.When I got in, I pulled out my phone and called my mother first, the way I always did when I left the office late. It was our thing a holdover from the days when I used to call her from the university library at ten p.m. to let her know I was alive. She'd pretend to be annoyed,

Vince's pov.“What did you just say?” I asked Phil, with a raised voice. “You should not joke around with things like that.”Phil cleared his throat and tried to make his voice steady, but ended up stuttering. “Boss, it has been uhmmm verified.”“What is verified?”“Iris being kidnapped.”I stood up from the bed and held him by the collar, pinning him on the wall. “Repeat what you just said.”Phil looked like he was choking, but still managed to answer me. “Boss, Iris has been taken.”I let go of him and tried to calm myself down, because I was tempted to shot everything in my sight. “What happened?”“We pulled up a CCTV of her taking a detour from her normal route, when I had some men check out the path she took.” He paused to catch some air. “They found her car and it gave off the vibe of her being forcefully taken, from the look of things.”“Did you try reaching her on phone?”“Yes boss, but the call did not connect.” Phil looked scared of me, but I couldn't not blame him. I felt l

Vince's pov.“Yeah, I know she's affiliated with the mafia because of me. Can you tell me something new?” I blurted out, almost upset but trying to keep my emotions in check.“It's not that boss.” His eyes were sparkling, now that I paid closer attention to him.“What the hell is it?” “She has mafia blood running through her veins.” He broke the news to me, in a calm tone.“Careful what you say now, there are some things you can't just joke about.” I warned Phil, as I rubbed my temple.“I'm being very serious, boss.” He cleared his throat. “Her father is Carmine Vito, the one and only Carmine.”Shock spread through my face, until it was evenly distributed all around. “The man I had always revered until his sudden disappearance?”“Yes.”“How is that even possible?” I managed to ask, trying to keep up with everything that was happening. “Iris and Carmine? That's not even her last name, what happened exactly?”“We were digging up on Iris as you instructed, when we found some anomalies.

Iris pov.When I opened my eyes, the first thing that hit me was the stench of sweat and blood together before I tried to adjust to the dim lighting in the room I was kept in.“How long have I been out for?” I asked myself as I tried to move around, then noticed I was tied up.“Wait a minute, have I been kidnapped or something?” I shook my head. “Maybe this is some kind of surprise or event planned for me, because I haven't made anyone angry to warrant this.”I moved my head to the side and tried to think harder. “Vince would never try something like this, it's too low and besides this doesn't even look like his place.”“Mike would not even dare try this, he would have to take permission from his perfect woman and I'm certain the vixen, will say no to it. Who could possibly do this?”Suddenly the thought hit me that, I could be in actual danger and none of the men I had considered, were even aware of it. I tried to stay calm, but only held it in for a minute before I screamed out loud

Vinces pov.“Boss, we found her.” Phil informed me, making my eyes to open.“Let's head out!” I thundered as I stood Phil looked at me for a second. “We can handle the rescue operation ourselves, you don't have to get involved. What if something goes wron—”I did not allow him to finish the words, before cutting him off. “She's already in danger and you expect me to choose safety?”“I'm sorry boss.”“Get everything ready, we're going together.”This time he did not try to argue. “Yes boss.”Within minutes, he had prepared my men and gathered all we needed as we headed out towards the location they had tracked.When the car came to a stop, I looked around and observed that it was some good distance away from where people lived.“Do you think gunshots will travel very far from here?” I asked Phil.“It's hard to tell, but I find that very unlikely.” Came the response.“Let's move in.” I signalled to my men as I took the lead.My boots hit the concrete like thunder as I kicked in the sid
