The Mafia Boss's Claim (Undergoing Editing,Do Not Read)

~Chapter 45~

Lucien's POV

After we found Scarlett's car on the side of the road with her mother and beloved dog in it.Luckily,they both were alive but with serious injuries.We haven't stopped searching for her.It has been hell,until now.Which brings us back to this very moment.Where a spark of hope lit inside me at a chance of finding my princess.

"You really had the balls to go against me.You know what happens to rats,Greg.You were treated like family!Your children are under my protection!Why?"I yelled in his face which was smeared with blood.

"Let my children live please,"came his pathetic response.Of course I was going to let the children live.I was not a complete monster.Suddenly,I am taken back to the moment where Scarlett discussed children.The crestfallen look on her face after I said no to children...What the fuck was wrong with me?That was the reason she was acting so distant.It was my fault she left because Catherine told her we were engaged.We were not.We were going to get engaged after my mot-Delores was certain I had disregarded Scarlett.I chop Gregg's thumb off in frustration and hear his cries of pain.

Oh what a stupid indecisive asshole I was.How wrong I was.A fucking coward...is what I am.

"Depends whether you tell me where they are keeping her,you rat,"I say lowly and chop off his middle finger.Again,his cries fall over deaf ears as he begs for mercy.

"San Francisco in an old,abandoned oil and gas factory.It's located in the eastern part.I don't know anything else Lucien.I just heard it from a guard.Please let me li-"I load the gun and shoot him in between his eyes and see his dead eyes fall me.He should've had known better.

"Ace,Kade,come clean this mess up,"I said and step away,blood covering my hands.I look down at Gregg's pathetic body and scoff to myself.I walk out of the cell and up the stairs of the cellar.I wipe my hands down with a slightly wet ragand throw it away.I pull out my phone as I exit the cellar and walk towards the house.I dial the number before pressing call.

"Ah el guapo.Fancy hearing from you so soon.I presume you need a favor?"I hear her heels click on the other side of the line as she talks.

"Andrea.Yes you are correct.I need help tracking down some oil factory in central San Francisco.I also need eyes on the area for the next forty-eight hours,"I say and enter the house.I walk to the elevator and up to Scarlett and I's room when I get off the elevator.I put the phone on speaker on the bed side table and begin undressing.

"Got yourself in a bit of a pickle or is it the chicka?"she lets out a little laugh and I sigh.

"So you'll do it?"I ask impatiently and ignore her assumption and walk towards the closet and pick out a black button down and black suit pants.

"Si.When have I ever let you down?You'll get the location in about ten minutes and you'll just have to send some of your men to plant cameras.After all,if you are going to attack you'll need to know their whereabouts,"I nod my head and sigh as I think of what Scarlett is going through.

"Thank you Andrea,"I say and she hangs up.After that I jump into the shower and scrub the blood off of my body.I take a moment to think things through as I stand under the steaming hot water.I am aware of the power my mother holds over me.I can only hope she doesn't go through with her plan...I don't understand,we had an agreement that if I merged with the Willow mafia and I'm absolutely certain that they would try to gain control of my mafia empire that she should leave Scarlett alone.

I dress myself after my shower and call a meeting in my office.I take a seat at the head of the conference table as my men take their respective seats.

"As you all know or heard,my woman has been kidnapped.With her mother in the medical room and the dog at a private vet.God knows that woman would kill me if her dog was not in one piece when she returns.We had a traitor,a rat.He had a family,we considered him a family but disloyalty resolves in immediate execution.From him I got a location.Ms.Guerrero is still making sure it's not a phony and locating different routes.I know who the kidnappers are and it will be difficult.

"Some may not make it out alive,but I want you to do everything you are capable of to bring back Scarlett.I have set up roles for you.Ace,obviously you will be hacking every security camera within a hundred feet radius from the factory as soon as we have confirmation from Ms.Guerrero.John,Kade,Haven and Luca,you all take turns monitoring the area subtly.The rest of you train your asses off.I don't want anyone lagging on this mission.Thank you,"I dismiss them and put my head in my hands.Never have I felt this helpless.We may have a location but there is always this uncertainty of whether she is okay or not.

Wait-Did she ask the question because she was pr-?There's no way...Suddenly,my body jerks as I realize the severity of the situation.I am not entirely sure but if it was the case-I wouldn't know what to do.

I got the call for confirmation.No time to go through with the plan.Time to get my princess back.
