Untamed (A mafia story)

Chapter 15

Both men stared at each other with great contempt, one with a purpose, the other just because he could.

Enzo would never understand why Dimitri hated him this much, he'd never done anything to cross him, ever since taking the position of Don, after the sudden and mysterious death of his father.

Dimitri had been the ruler of the Russian mafia, way before Enzo took over from his father, but this hatred directed towards him was something he never understood.

But now he felt like, Dimitri was just jealous of him, because he was married to one of the most feared women in the underworld, that was why he kidnapped her, or rather her sister, thinking it was her

His eyes moved from Dimitri and landed on her, she looked frightened, scared and timid, like she always looked.
Yes she looked like his wife, but they were different in so many ways, she was shy, timid and inexperienced, especially with mafia things, but his wife was bold, outspoken and very skilled.

He knew she'd had to have endured a lot from Dimitri, he knew how heartless he can be with hostages.

Dimitri saw how his gaze moved from him to the woman standing beside him, he smirked when he saw the pained expression on Enzo's face.

This is what he wanted, he would bring them both to their knees for him
They didn't deserve his pity or consideration.
His hold on her tightened because he wouldn't be taking any chances tonight, she was his and it'll remain that way until he said otherwise.

"Well well, if it isn't the husband of the year" Dimitri muttered with a smirk, Enzo tensed at that and Tatum stepped up to reduce the tension.

He had set up this ball to expand his allies and not to have them killing each other, he'd heard of the rumors but never thought it true until he saw her tonight with Dimitri.

She looked exactly like they'd all told him, the stories and tales, although he couldn't see her face, he knew from her body that she was a beautiful goddess.

"Dimitri, keep it together, no murdering each other remember" He muttered stepping closely beside Dimitri.

Cora was dumbstruck, he was here, Enzo was here.
How badly she wanted to ask him if her sister was here too, she wanted to free herself from the devil's grip and go with Enzo but she couldn't, unless of course she wanted to die.

Her eyes moved around the hall in search of Cara but she came back unsuccessful, her eyes landed on Enzo again and he had a look of sadness and regret for her.

Tears were blinding her vision so she quickly looked away.
Enzo knew she was looking for her sister and as much as he wanted to speak to her, he couldn't because Dimitri was already walking away with her in his arms.

He was not stupid, he knew he couldn't do anything rational, Dimitri wouldn't bring her out here without setting a few things in place, he couldn't risk her life.

He clenched his jaw as his second in command stepped beside him
"What should we do boss"? He asked and Enzo just looked at him before looking back at Dimitri and Cora's back disappear in the crowd.

"Nothing" he breathe out and his second in command just stood there clueless, he didn't understand why his boss would ask them to do nothing, this was their Donna's sister, and they all knew how much her disappearance had affected their Donna so much

"But boss...." He started speaking but his capo cut him off

"We can't risk it Gabe, the moment we do anything, he'll kill her" he explained to his second in command.
If anything happened to Cora, Cara won't take it lightly, they had to thread carefully.
