Kidnapped by the Mafia novel Chapter 29

"Don't worry beautiful, once this is over I'll take proper care of you myself."

I flinched away from him when he reached out to hold my face. His expression  hardened as the previously mocking smile disappeared completely from his face. I gulped in fear as he assessed me from head to toe. Still too weak to utter a word, I couldn't exactly get words out because my jaw felt numb.

I knew it wasn't broken because I had tried to move it earlier. The only thing I felt was pain with a bit of relief when I realized that it was still moving. He clicked his tongue in irritation before pulling out his phone.

"I'm sure your husband would love to hear of this."

I froze at his words, looking in the rear view mirror to try and catch Edwards eyes, but he didn't even spare me a look. Instead he continued driving as if he hadn't just helped someone kidnap not only his Donna but also his Sister-in-law.

He put the phone on speaker as the ringtone blared through. It took a minute before the phone was answered. He didn't speak but I heard him panting on the other side, followed by a groan that had me inching closer to the device as if trying to see him through it.

"Awe would you look at that, son? your wife is worried about you."

He mocked with a humorless laugh as the breathing on the other side paused.

"Why is she there father? What have you done to her?"

The man shrugged with a sinister smile.

"Why would you assume that I've done something to her... yet. I've got all the time in the world to make proper use of your wife son. But you don't seem to be fairing well over there, everything okay?"

It was a growl, an animalistic and definitely frightening growl that emitted from the other side. Representing both the pain that he seemed to be in and the Rage. I went to speak up and noticing this, the ex-boss moved quickly, pointing the nozzle to my head and tsking in disapproval.

"I swear father if you dare lay so much as a finger on he~"

"Will my guns nozzle do."

He cut Severus off and everything went silent as we waited for a response. Severus seemed to have frozen up for a while.

"Oh and she might need an ice pack, will you be caring enough to have one sent to my cabin?"

A few rounds of bullets sounded from the other side. Severus cursed under his breath and we heard ruffling on the other side before a whole barrage of bullets seemed to be unleashed.

"What.Did.You.Do.To.Her?"

*****

I froze as I met his eyes, he was glaring past me, at the man who held me hostage. He was smirking as Severus stood straight. Somehow succeeding in masking the pain with anger.

"Well Well, what do we have here? Prince charming comes running to the rescue of his princess."

Severus gritted his teeth, about to retort but he stopped short when his eyes landed on me. Particularly on my cheek, the next thing I noticed was the storm that brewed in his eyes, it seemed to have gotten worse as he pieced together what had happened in his absence.

His eyes then moved to Edward and his face went blank, I felt the supposed betrayal that he hid from us. His eyes narrowing to slits as he took in the gun pressed against me, in a non to discreet way.

"Let her go."

He gritted out, wincing when his chest moved quickly due to his words. The father hummed in fake thought, bringing his other arm around me to hold me in place.

"How about no?"

He replied rebelliously, letting out a manic laugh.

"Let.Her.Go. father, she has nothing do with this, this feud is between me and you."
