Saved By Him

Chapter 30

Isabella Rose

My mouth parts yet no words come out. I was too shocked to even form words.

I must be misunderstanding this whole situation. My assumption of who he is must be completely wrong.

I was stuck with Alexander for five years; I would have known if he did have a brother.

"My mind tells me that you have assumed correctly. Clever woman" he smirks.

"I don't know what you mean" I state, looking around to find Valentino.

"I think you do, Isabella" he replies shaking his head slightly.

Great. He knows my fucking name.

I guess no more acting.

I sigh rolling my eyes, "Of course you know my name".

"I do, and I'm sure you're dying to know mine" he claims, making me scoff.

"Dying would be exaggerating, but go ahead" I respond, eyeing him for any threat.

But he just stood there, relax and calm. By the looks of it, unarmed too.

"Antonio. Antonio Ivanov" he states, not forgetting to add his last name for God knows what fucking reason, as if I wasn't already aware.

Well at least Valentino could hear his identity, from where ever the fuck he is.

"Right, and how come I never saw you in Russia during my...stay" I ask curiously.

"Let's just say that me and Alexander don't get along very well. And the fact he's older doesn't help either. You see it started when-"

"I'm not asking for your whole sob story, just get to the fucking point" I interrupt, rolling my eyes.

His blue eyes narrow in annoyance, clearly not liking being interrupted. They were the same colour as Alexander's eyes, and I had to look away since I despised it.

He completely looked like a younger version of Alexander; blue eyes, blond hair, similar height. It was scary how much they resembled each other, just Antonio with more younger touches.

That was enough to put me on edge.

"You want me to be straight to the point, then fine. I fucking hate my brother. I want him dead just as much as you do." he snaps in anger.

My eyebrows furrow in confusion but then realisation takes over me, "You want to rule the Russian mafia, that's why".

He tilts his head, "correct. And I want him dead due to the humiliation he caused me. Belittling me, pushing me away from business and then completely banishing me from Russia" he sneers.

"And how were you planning to do that?" I ask raising my eyebrow.

"I've been building my own little gang. Trying to get as many men as possible, including that one man your friends have taken back to Italy in a damn suitcase" he responds.

"Felix" I whisper, surprise more evident in my tone than I wished for it to be.

But Felix was on Alexander's side?

Who was Felix planning to take me to?

He smirks, "Correct again kotyonok. I must admit, you're good at this".

"This was all a set up" I say, my gaze falling to the floor and then to my surroundings.

If he knew about us kidnapping Felix - and that Lorenzo and Vincent have taken him back to Italy - then does he know Valentino is with me?
