Kidnapped by the Mafia novel Chapter 28

Shane knocked on the door as I abruptly put the letter back, still in slight shock from the revelation I had received. With a 'come in' from me, he opened the door and popped his head in. He looked around the room in caution before sliding in with a tray of food.

He set it down on the desk in front of me after I pulled away the letters, he was quick to turn around ready to leave but I stopped him. In need of company to take my mind off of things.

"Are they okay?"

Shane stiffened, turning around and offering me a weak smile that weakened my own.

"We can't get in contact with them right now Donna, they're engaged in combat at the moment."

I nodded slowly loosing whatever appetite I had developed over the span of 2 hours which were spent fretting, overthinking, a bit of crying, and a lot of praying.

"They're going to be okay Donna, they've dealt with things like this before and came back perfectly fine."

I swallowed to moisten my dry throat and looked up at him, he seemed unsure and that didn't assure me at all. Noticing my gaze, he sighed, running a tired hand through his hair before his face went fully blank again.

"It was never this severe before."

My heart dropped at his words, eyes widening as I stared up at him. I could've sworn that he regretted saying that the moment he noticed my glistening eyes.

"W-What happened over there?"

Shane's face softened as he looked at me. With a sigh he turned around and walked to the door before closing it. He came back to stand before me and with a gesture from me, sat down on the couch furthest from me.

"Do you know of the abductions the boss's father conducted."

I nodded my head, forgetting all about the food as he started explaining everything to me.

"Well, by the time the boss found out about the girls his father brought here, they were already dead and the practice had stopped a few years back so the boss couldn't do anything about it."

This was the part that Severus and Edward had already told me about. I remembered Severus regretting not being able to protect them and swearing to protect me.

"Open the door."

He commanded to the guards standing by the door, they looked horrified as they saw me. One of them reached to draw their guns but was stopped as my husbands father moved his gun to my side.

"We don't want the Donna dead because of you now do you? You won't betray your boss like that, right?"

He mocked with a snicker as the men shared looks. I wanted to say something like: 'it'll be okay' or pass them an assuring smile. But I couldn't manage that over my slow fading conscious. I wasn't sure if I could make it out of this one. The person who had saved me the last time and trained me for fighting was following close behind us. Obeying every thing the man holding me captive was saying.

Not because he was bound to, but because he wanted to. I couldn't wrap my head around the scene that took place in my bedroom. Couldn't get the image of him holding out the bullets as if they were a prize, out of my head. The deadly smirk at his face had relayed his intentions and I knew that he wasn't going to lend a hand. At least not to me.

With reluctance, the guards opened the door and the man chuckled. Pushing me forward and walking out of the estate. Edward got inside a car in the drivers seat while I was forced into the back one. The mans hand firmly tightening around mine in warning if I tried to run.

Once we were on the road, he pulled the gun away from me and sighed. Leaning back, he undid his coat buttons and threw me an unnerving smile.
