Nobody to Somebody

Chapter 45

I went to look for the girls to tell them that I wanted to go home. I pushed through some sweaty people, and luckily, I found Sky first. She looked like she was in a bit of a situation with some guys.

They looked familiar. They had tattoos on their knuckles, and I watched as they tried to grab Sky senseless. These people were new. Although, the tattoos seemed familiar.

Willow was nowhere to be found, and I had no weapon with me except for well me. I lurked behind the guy, and I put him inside a headlock. I felt his body tense. For him not overpower me, my hands grew tight around his throat.

"You will regret that." He said, and I noticed that he had a Russian accent. I turned to look at the guy over the neon lights, and he was the same guy who used to work in Vinogradov. Who well now works for  Matteo because of the whole taking over thing.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, and he chuckled. "Doing what my original boss told me to." He said, and he must be referring to Vinogradov. That means he must be deceiving Matteo behind his back.

He threw me on the floor and hovered over me, his pocket knife in my peripheral vision. When he took it out, he chuckled darkly.

"Where's Willow?" I asked, and his chuckle became darker. "She's in a better place." He said, and it came to the realization that they took her away.

I kept quiet and I felt that someone was going to come. I hope even as drunk as Sky is, she could at least call for help. "What was your plan?" I spat at him.

"To take over." He said in the same vicious tone. Come on, Sky. Anytime now.

Someone who I least expected to come to my rescue but he came. His eye came in peripheral vision, and he saw the situation I was in. My eyes told him not to shoot just yet.

Instead, Luca yanked him off me, and I now know that he is stronger than this jerk. I got up with his help. I was stupid enough not to take my phone with. I couldn't borrow one from Luca, so I looked down on the little cockroach squirming under Luca.

I swipped his phone from him, and I already knew the pin to his phone. Blake had told me that the phone's IP address could be their password so they could be tracked. I scrolled, and I looked for Matteo's contact numbers.

"Hello." He answered in a firm voice, showing that he thought it could be the tyrant calling.

"Baby. It's me." I said, and he immediately started panicking. I saw Lucas's face turning into a frown because I called him baby. I suppressed an eye roll from feeling awkward. I just kissed my boyfriend's twin who might have feelings for me, so this is a very interesting birthday.

"Where are you? What's happening?" He asked, and I rubbed the back of my head because I already saw where this was going. My smile became sheepish because I'm expecting to get shouted at.

"I'm at the club, but the thing is that Willow is nowhere to be found, and I found Vinogradov's minion who tried to kill me." I stopped there because he'll know if I continue and go to the part about Lucas well then... we'd both be dead by now.

"I'll be right there." He said, then hung up. I never asked him to come here. I was just updating him.

I threw the phone back at the lying figure who was powerless under Lucas's hold. I could see that he was weak. A shallow person who was hiding under another man.

"You need to go." I said firmly to Lucas, and any other woman would kill to have the opportunity I have right now. "No. I fucking care for you to be left with Matteo." He snarled, and I put my hands on my hips.

"Well. I love him." I snapped, and I couldn't believe that I said those words out loud. "Okay, Kyla. If you want to do it the hard way, then let's do it the hard way." He stepped away and started walking back.
