Ruthless

Chapter 2

Xander's POV:

Since I am staying at one of Keanu's hotels in the city, it is a quick drive to one of Fred's clubs. I had flown in two days ago from Italy just for this mission. I was offered to stay with Keanu in his house, but decided he was giving too much and I didn't want to take advantage of his kindness.

I parked down the street at the club, as I walked I admired a black Lamborghini that was almost exactly like the one I had.

I entered the club and was met with blasting music and blinding neon lights. Women danced from poles all around, but I had no interest. Don't get me wrong I am always down for a night with a girl, but right now I was getting revenge on the men who took my sister from me. I was not going to get distracted.

I went to the bar and got a water, my eyes scanning the club for Fred. When I found him, I made my way back outside. If my information was right he should be out for a smoke soon. I started taking in my surroundings when I saw someone.

They were so well camouflaged I wouldn't have even noticed them if I hadn't been looking around so in depth.

They were up on a smaller bars roof. I couldn't make much out because the black they wore blended in with the dark surroundings. What I could make out was the barrel of a gun. I try to keep myself calm as I circle around the far side of the building and swiftly scale the small building until I am on the roof.

My mind is going crazy with possibilities on why there was a sniper on the roof outside the club I was on a mission in.

Did they know I was coming? They couldn't have...

Once I was on the roof I heard a door slam. I quickly made my way across the roof to where I saw someone laying in the ground aiming a gun right at Fred.

I had to act fast, I needed Fred alive.

I lunged towards them and pulled them backwards, climbing on top of them and pinning their arms down with my knees.

I'm left shocked when instead of a well built man that I had expected, it was a small girl. She had something pulled over her nose so I couldn't see her face too well, but her icy blue eyes looked almost white, reflecting the moonlight. She had long black hair that was tied up. She was very small, probably not over 5'1, and very skinny.

She must have noticed my distraction, because she brought her knee up and nailed me in my crotch before spinning me into my back, now on top of me. Only this time she had a gun and was pressing it to my forehead.

"Why are you here?" She asked me in a harsh tone. When I didn't respond she pushed the gun a little harder into my head.

She doesn't say anything, she just glares at me, almost like she doesn't know what her next move should be. If I'm being honest I don't know either. I should just try to kill her right now, but for some reason I can't bring myself to.

A second later a strong beam of light is cast on us, she jumps off of me and we both turn to see what it was.

The bar owner. I bet he heard us from below and went to come check it out.

"Please stop making babies on my club before I call the police." He demands, obviously he had not seen the gun she had aimed at me.

He turned off his flashlight and made his way back down to the ground. When I turned back around, the girl was gone.

Audenzia's POV:

"Have I ever told you how gorgeous you are?"

"Please just leave me alone" I sobbed, knowing what he was in here for. Fred always came for the same thing: sex. At least when Victor would come in here he would just beat me up, Fred was so much worse. He took my virginity when I was five, and has been nonstop raping me since then.

He slapped me across my face, "I never said you could talk, bitch." He yelled before throwing me onto the ground and ripping off my clothes.

All I could do is cry, I was too weak to fight. If I screamed nobody would hear me, I would just be tortured even worse.

There was no escape.

I woke up in my bedroom covered in sweat. It took a few minutes to catch my breath and remember that I am safe now. Last night seeing Fred again was harder than I wanted to admit. He was just walking around without a care in the world and that bothered me so much.

I still get nightmares, but not nearly this bad or realistic. It was like I could feel his hands on me...touching me.

Quickly, I got out of bed and went to my bathroom to take a small dose of PTSD medication. I only take it when I have a bad nightmare, even though I'm supposed to take it every day. It makes me feel weak, like I'm still powerless.

I get dressed and head downstairs to find my three brothers making something in the kitchen.

"Look who decided to get up" Isaac jokes, cracking an egg on to a pan.

"Where is Mom and Dad?" I asked

"Mom is out running errands or something and Dad is in a meeting." Gray answered.

"Who is he meeting?"

"Xander Romano" Gray was about to explain who that was but I already knew. The Boss of the Italian Mafia.

"I didn't know he was in town" I say, making conversation to get more information about this, "why is Dad meeting with him anyway?"

The boys all just shrugged, "All he said was he would fill us all in later."

I nod before swinging the fridge door open and grabbing an apple.

"What are you doing today?" Rian asks, walking over and sitting on the kitchen island stool. I shrug before remembering I had some targets I could take up. "Probably take a few jobs."

"You know he is being very active lately, making almost twice as many attacks on our warehouses. I don't know if it's safe to keep doing this." Isaac tells me.

"I'm not a child" Is all I say before going upstairs to shower and get ready to take a few jobs.
