“Oh, sure,” I breathe. “Have you learnt something about Angelo?”

“I’ve his location,” she says, sounding slightly far-off, as if she’s in a lifeless spot. “When you can simply meet me, I’ll take you to him.”

“I’ve my daughter,” I say, and Aurora chuckles.

“Carry her, it’ll be pretty to see her,” Aurora says, and I chew my lip.

This all feels slightly bizarre, however within the wiseguy way of life, issues get bizarre generally, proper?

“Ship me your location,” I say, and hurry to get Chelsea within the automotive.

Chelsea’s simply sleeping within the backseat as a result of it’s nonetheless fairly early within the morning, and after we pull as much as meet Aurora, it’s a reasonably great way out of city.

I get out of the automotive and Aurora steps ahead, and I’m shocked that she’s what seems to be a pure blonde with blue eyes. I assumed she was Italian.

“Good day,” she says, smiling. “The place’s the infant?”

“She’s within the automotive,” I choke out, feeling like one thing’s mistaken.

Abruptly, the world goes darkish as somebody places a bag over my head and ties my arms behind my again.

I scream and slowly understand that Aurora isn’t Aurora in any respect, however somebody making an attempt to kidnap me and my daughter. I battle and scream and chew but it surely does me no good. I’m nonetheless dragged right into a automotive and I can hear Chelsea crying.

“Don’t tie her up,” I plead. ”Simply let me maintain her. She’s too little to assist me.”

There’s simply silence and I can’t see something due to the bag, however then Chelsea climbs into my lap.

Somebody secures us with a seatbelt and I relaxation my again in opposition to the seat as we drive away. After some time, we cease they usually take me out of the automotive. By the sounds round me, we’re at an airfield of some kind, and I’m compelled to climb some stairs whereas Chelsea holds my leg. The place are they taking us?

I do not know the place I’m or what to do, my ideas going in every single place. Have they got Angelo, too? Does Nico know that we’ve been taken? Certainly he’ll be suspicious after I don’t reply my telephone.

On the flight that appears limitless however might be simply over a few hours, all I can take into consideration is Angelo, and hope that he’s all proper and that he’ll come after us. Even when his love for me isn’t actual, I understand how a lot he loves Chelsea.

“Don’t fear, Mama,” Chelsea whispers. “Papa will save us.”

I transfer my head to press in opposition to hers, nonetheless with the bag over my head.

Once we land, we’re once more put right into a automotive and pushed away.

Because the automotive pulls to a cease some time later, all is silent round us. We’re taken inside a constructing and I’m tied to a put up or pilar whereas Chelsea climbs into my lap once more. This have to be a warehouse, however the place, solely god and my kidnappers know.

It looks like hours earlier than somebody takes the bag off of my head, and I’ve an instantaneous headache from the sudden lights.

“The place’s your husband?” the lady asks me, and somebody barks one thing at her in what appears like Russian. “The place is Angelo Bianchi?”

“What do you imply?” I groan. “I don’t know the place he’s. I used to be in search of him.”

“We captured him,” she says, “However he received away. I knew you’d know the place he was. What girl isn’t her husband’s keeper?”

“I do not even know who you might be,” I whisper. “Why would I let you know something?”

“My identify is Anastasia Ivanov,” she says, like that’s imagined to imply one thing to me.

I do know of the Ivanovs, they’re massive within the Russian mafia, however I don’t know an Anastasia.

She sighs. “Dmitri’s sister,” she says, and I gasp.

Dmitri Ivanov is head of the bratva in New York Metropolis, and he’s identified to be ruthless.
