Saved By Him

Chapter 24

20 minutes earlier:

Valentino Moretti

I watch as she whispers into Felix's ear, "Why don't you show me how beautiful I am...in my bedroom" I hear through the ear piece.

Change of plan. I don't like where this is going.

"Well then let's go princess" he responds, taking her wrist in his hand and leading the way.

I immediately stand, feeling my fists clench as I observe the bastard's grin.

I couldn't decide whether it was the sight of him or the sight of them together making my blood boil. But either way, I wanted nothing more but to rip his fucking organs out.

Isabella's eyes suddenly connect with mine as she turns her head, "Come after 5 minutes. He should be unconscious by then" she says.

I nod, and the words "Be careful" leave my mouth before I could even acknowledge what I was saying.

Do I really care about her safety? Or is it because she's a pawn in my revenge?

I see her nod, before they're both out of my sight. And I guess my questions are answered as I feel my heart twist, not liking her to be out of my sight alone with him.

As I hear Vincent speak to Isabella, I notice some security gathering in the corner of the club.

I start to look around for Lorenzo, but I don't see him anywhere.

It's been a while since I saw him. Not to mention he didn't even give the spiked drink to Isabella. Instead he sent someone else.

Don't tell me he's fucking with some girl or I will really kill him.

But then again, he knows how serious I am when it comes to times like this.

I take my phone out, calling him and sending some text messages. When I notice they don't deliver, I realise there's something wrong.

The connection was fine just some minutes ago. Even yesterday at the club it was fine. What's suddenly happened?

"Vincent? Lorenzo? Can you hear me?" I call through the ear piece, but no response.

"Isabella?" I call, but the same outcome.

Fanculo, these ear pieces need some sort of connection to work. (Fuck)

This could only mean someone has purposely disabled it.

I look over to the security men, and I notice there's more now. They're gathered around something, but I couldn't tell what it was from here since it was crowded.

I walk towards it, making my way in between people. As I get closer, I notice there's a body where the security were circling around.

I keep my distance, not wanting to be suspicious since no one went near it apart from the security.

People danced and walked past it without a care, giving them no attention. Perhaps thinking that it's just some drunk stranger who has passed out.

But I knew better. And for the first time since her, I felt fear as realisation takes over me.

Isabella is alone with Felix. And there's no way he'll be passing out anytime soon, since he wasn't given the spiked drink. Instead this fool was given it.

I wanted to punch Lorenzo for not doing his job properly, but at the same time I was worried for my brother.

"dove sei?" I mutter under my breath as I look around. (Where are you?)
