The Start of an Era

Chapter 5

I knew it was him the minute I saw his tattoo and I knew he was up to something in the café. Either he wanted some easy girl who would give herself up to him or he wanted to distract me from something. I thought it was the first, but clearly I was wrong. He might own the biggest mafia in the world, but he is too blinded by pride to see the smaller things. Like the fact that he was just playing. I spot my getaway van across the street but I do not make it clear that I am walking towards it because I know Christian’s men will be after me if this does not work out and if they catch me I cannot get Armand in trouble.

I was about to cross the street when something pricked my neck and instantly fell into darkness.

The sound of metal banging together wakes me up and I have a huge headache. As the memories come back to me, I hastily sit up but regret it when I feel the headache worsen and that is also when I notice that I am in some kind of cell. I looked around and saw that it was empty and thick metal bars kept me inside. I stand up but get pulled down again by a weight on my ankles. I look down and see that my feet are cuffed and the cuffs are fastened to the wall. Just great! “Well that is freaking amazing!” I say to myself, but jump a little when someone answers me “It is, isn’t it beautiful?” I look up to see that there is a man in a cell that is just across from mine. He was also cuffed but with his arms as well. He stood against the wall with no shirt on and s***h marks on his chest. He looks about 30 or somewhere around there. He was not the most handsome guy that I have ever seen, but he was not that bad to look at. He had blond hair and brown eyes and he smirked at me. “Well, at least I got it better than you.” I said, smiling at him, but it did not reach my eyes, as I am trapped in a cell of the biggest mafia in the world and, over all, people who are trapped in cells are bad people so there is no reason for me to trust this person. He chuckled at me and said in a mocking voice “Yeah… you got a point there.” I looked around the place only to see that it was like a mini prison, but instead of walls between cells there were bars. There are two rows of cells on each side of the room with a pathway in the middle. There were about five cells on each side. It was quite empty in here. It was me, the mysterious guy across from me and an unconscious guy in the cell right next to mine.

“So tell me… how do I get out?” I asked in a sarcastic tone, knowing that he had tried to escape at least once. “Oh sweetheart…there is no escaping.” He laughed evilly… well tried to. “Okay that is awesome.” Just as I was finished talking the door to the mini prison opened and four men along with the guy who was in charge back at the apartment walked in. “Great you are awake.” He exclaimed and I gave him a sarcastic smile. “Yeah you know had to get my beauty sleep.” I stood up as they entered my cell. “Great so now you have two choices. Either you come with me willingly or we simply do it the hard way.” He looked at me as if there was no doubt about which choice I was choosing, so I decided that I would surprise him this time. “As fun as that sounds I would really like to see where this is going… plus I think I hurt enough of you for now at least.” I said and he smiled sickly at my response. “Great.” He says as two men step forward and open the cuffs on my legs. They each grab one of my arms and I do not put up a fight as I know that I am on their territory and the chances that I will die are pretty huge.
