THE VENDETTA.

Chapter 5

Back at the Penthouse

Mitchel and Hadrian are seen arguing.

Surprisingly, Mitchel's voice is unusually loud and bold as she vehemently speaks out to Hadrian

"You may be a billionaire, but you don't want to mess with these people".

Hadrian from where he is seated on the bed shoots back in a calm voice

" what do you know about what I want".?

Mitchel reels down from where she stood and squats in front of Hadrian, trying to make sure they make eye contact

"I know you want revenge",

Hadrian who has been avoiding her gaze suddenly looks directly at her

"Revenge? Yes, I do want revenge, and what is so wrong with that"?..

Mitchel pushes backward a little and pauses for a moment before answering.

"It's going to get you killed...do you..do you want to end up like your father".

Like she feared he pushed her away in anger before turning to bark words at her,

his hands pointing in disdain

"b***h, don't you talk about my father.. I pay you for s*x and not to give me opinions".!

But she got up with tears in her eyes and her back against the wall

"Yes I'm a worthless hooker, but yet you flew me out of Romania,

I'm a common stripper yet you hoard me like a property and won't let me out of your sight" she made to speak more.

But he cut in

"Stop, stop "

"No, I won't stop".

She continued, coming closer to him as he backed away, turning his face not to look at her

"You know the truth and I know the truth"

She paused for a moment

"You know I love you, Hadrian, i can't watch you die, and even if you deny it...I know

, you can't bring yourself to the truth about your feelings for me".

At this point, Hadrian screamed loudly

Banging his fist on the wall aggressively till it bled

"Stoop" he screamed

Mitchel stood firm but when she showed signs of fear and tried to take a step back

Hadrian turned to face her and grabbed her by the waist giving her a passionate kiss, they broke free but she returned the kiss and went on for a while before he let her lips go and placed her forehead on his,

" you mean the world to me, Mitchel, since I saw you in Romania I have loved you, and I am not ashamed to say it, but promise me that you will be mine."

His eyes were faced downwards as he spoke,

She took time to lift his head, by now the blood from his fist trickled down her forehead

"Hadrian I love you, I promise I am yours alone...but I can't lose you to the cartel,

I lost my family to the mafia in Romania".

"I know Mitchel, I lost my father to them. I have plans Mitchel, just trust me, do you trust me"?.

She nodded her head in agreement before placing it on his chest as he held her tightly in his embrace.

Just then a knock came at the door

"Who is it" Hadrian asked

"Boss, it's Crage"

Hadrian made for the door and opened it,

Craig entered, followed by

a CIA detective and a good friend to Hadrian.

"Welcome Marty" Hadrian exclaimed giving Martel a hug

turning to look at Mitchel he said with a look of determination

"I'm not alone in this Mitchel, this is my team and together we will rescue Rava bring down the cartel and free this city once and for all."

Looking across the room to ensure Everyone agreed with his plans, he pushed a button on the war and a door slid open from what seemed to be a wall surface, only Mitchel appeared shocked because it dawned on her that she didn't realize how serious, he is about his plans to go after the Fibonacc's,

Looking around this room, the walls were filled with paper plastered across it with photographs and documents pinned to the wall.

On the table were high-grade ammunitions which were surprisingly licensed to the Dunst family.

"Now I would like Martel to give us a rundown of what we need to know and what do not know" Hadrian spoke up stretching his hand towards Martel

The lanky but stern-looking Martel stood up straight to address everyone, his eyes piercing through the room, he looked intimidating, like someone who has seen a lot of the dirt and evil in this cold world.

"Before anything I would like to say that I have a personal investment in this operation, i lost a sister and a Close friend to this Mafia network" he paused for a minute, his voice dry and hushed.

"I took permission from my superiors, to follow this case without the crowd and supervision of the Agency, so we have the protection of the law and I thank Hadrian for this chance".

He turned to face Hadrian, a weak smile broke out from the side of his face before speaking

" What we know is that the kidnappers are demanding 100 million dollars as Rava's ransom,

we know that they have a connection with Fibonacci but the extent of that relationship is not yet defined,

We know that Know one knows much about El Fibonacci, and I know that we are going to be the ones to bring El Fibonacci to book.
