GREED

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

"Well we are here" Eric murmurs, taking in the appearance of the area. It did the same and something was wrong it was oddly silent not even a dog could be heard just then I heard gunshots behind us. 

"f**k they followed us!" Eric cusses and parks the car we couldn't run anymore the road ahead was a dead end and it was surrounded by guards who were armed. 

"Come on you can hide inside and I'll try hold them for a while" he said casually and grabbed my hand. He pulls out his pistol and reloads it. 

He leads me to my house and I unlock the door with the spare key I was given by Zack. I had a bad feeling once the door was pushed open the air left my lungs and I was left stunned. 

I was surprised to find my family held at gunpoint. 

I let a small gasp when I saw Cassandra and Kenzie crying uncontrollably. 

"Oh no my babies…" I sob tearfully and clamp my hand over my mouth to stifle my cries. My heart was longing to touch and embrace them. 

"Mommy I'm scared" Cassandra cries. 

"Mama…" Kenzie sobs trying to reach out to me, but the guards hold her tight while struggling to escape his tight grip and my heart literally shatters. 

How could anybody have the conscience to hold a small innocent child at gunpoint. 

I went on my knees. I needed my girls unharmed and I was more than willing to negotiate a deal. I didn't care about the inheritance or money, it just brought more pain and suffering in my life. 

I wish grandpa had taken his money with him and this danger could have been avoided and everyone would have been safe. 

"Please don't hurt my kids, they are innocent, they don't even know what's going on. Just let them go. I'm more than willing to give you enough money." 

The guard nodded and informed the mastermind of the plan that I was willing to negotiate a deal. He eyed me carefully and shifted his gaze to Eric sending daggers at him giving him a murderous glare. 

"Drop your gun on the ground and get on your knees" the guard snarls angrily. Eric c***s a brow at him a smirk plastered on his handsome face. 

"I don't have a gun and the mafia doesn't answer to anyone including you. I'll personally teach you some manners." 

ERIC'S WILLDER POV 

This guard was so f*****g annoying and I had the urge to blow out his brains it would be a very nasty scene chunks of him splattered everyone his blood forming an endless river. 

The guard scoffs. 

"Don't play games with me fucker just drop the f*****g gun or else I'll kill your girlfriend in front of you" he said bitterly and pointed the gun at Christina my Christy. 

He had crossed the line now by involving Christina and I was going to make him pay a heavy price. 

My gaze lingered on his ugly face and he smirked once he knew that he had found my weakness. He thought he won. 

I took out my gun playing with it like it was a toy before I dropped it to the floor or tried to snatch it away from me. 

He had a big, but it was time to shut him up permanently. I didn't like his guts and he was so full of himself trying to boss me around. He didn't take his eyes off me and I did the same he needed to pay and suffer. 

"I said drop the f*****g gu-" I fired my pistol shooting two bullets into his thick skull and he slumped to the floor lifelessely. 

The other guards immediately got alarmed and they all pointed their weapons at me like I was a target. 

"Shoot me and this place will go up in flames when my clan members find out that you killed their mafia" I said coolly provoking them on purpose. 

They were about to fire their guns, one of them stopped before they could pull the trigger. 

"Don't fire the boss wants him alive, don't get under your skin and lastly keep an eye on him, don't let him provoke you," one of the guards admitted and took my gun. 

His gaze lingered on face . It was respectful and at the same time a bit shaky I could see that he was terrified. 

"I know you're the new mafia, but please your cooperation will be much appreciated and stop killing our men when they answer back." 

A sly smirk curved my lips. 

" I won't promise anything and my actions don't need to be justified. You've done more terrible than I have. "

" For starters you kidnapped Christina and made her ligde a living hell and that's a red flag. "

He tenses. 

" I will hunt you down," I whisper. 

Guards recovers fast from my threat and walks away his such a f*****g coward. 

We were put in the same room, precisely the living room because it was very spacious. 

The guards kept monitoring my movements and I felt my stomach churn if something horrible was about to happen. 

I had a bad feeling about this keeping us one room was dangerous, but it had some advantages. I moved swiftly and the guards kept watching me carefully. 

Noble Augusten had gotten me into so much trouble by making me mafia in the first place. My life was simple. 

I just wanted to get a job, have my own house, car and travel the world with Christy everyday. It would be a new adventure for us. 

I'd protect her for the rest of my life, but all those dreams died the moment I became mafia. I needed to think about what others needed and protect the territory. 

I had to be cold and heartless just to be able to rule with an iron fist to lead my soldiers. 

I had to put the Bhavana first, it was my responsibility now.
