Last Chance Given

Eleven

“I am sorry for your loss, Conner” Ayden started,

“But you will understand in the future that it was the best thing for you” he finished, and the door slammed shut as he left the apartment.

Conner placed the oxygen mask on my face, I started to breathe in the gas as my heartbeat started to stabilize,

“We will be transporting you back to the base as we will leave the fake body here, for the police to find and publish it on the news. We have prepared for Layla’s parents to put on a show. I have already paid them off,” Luca spoke as he carried me in his arms bridal style,

I opened my eyes I stared at his chin. He looked down feeling my stare,

“You don’t have to thank me, I will be here through it all,” he smiled as he kissed my forehead.

I tried to raise my hand to touch his face, but it pulled on my stab injury,

“Be careful, you are still bleeding,” he chided me as we board his car. Soon he drove us to the mini hospital that we set up here as we did worldwide.

“Boss! We are ready to start patching her up,” the doctor said as he rolled me to the surgery room to patch me up. I was put out for the surgery.

I woke up hours later, in my room in my mansion back home.

“Hey,” I turned to see Luca leaning against the doorframe.

“Come here” I patted on the mattress beside me, he sat down,

“I have something to tell you after this mission ends, will you wait for it until then?” I asked him. He stared into my eyes deeply trying to figure out serious I am. I let all my emotions flash in my eyes to show him my true feelings for him.

“We have removed the scar; it will not affect the next part. Also, your dad is looking for you” Luca kissed my forehead, smiling at me slightly.

I am sorry Luca; I hope you will still love me after the mission ends. Till then, lets’ keep each other safe. I kissed the locket he gave me.

I was at my office, looking through the files. I was brought up here after having lots of debates with Luca. I told him that my family should not know anything about my injury at the moment. He finally agreed to let me act as normal.

“Boss, your father is here” Liam poked his head into the office, notifying me about Cristian’s arrival.

“Bella,” he greeted me,

“Cristian” I greeted him back, he flinched at me using his name. I know he hopes that I will call him dad, but I do not feel comfortable yet.

“How was your mission?” he asked me calmly,

“It was more than a success,” I kept my answer simple with a tight smile,

“When will you be coming back home?” he asked in a small voice,

“I will not be coming back to that house, Cristian,” I answered, making me look up in shock,

“Yes, I think it is for the best. No one wanted me in that house. If they really want me as their sister, they have to work to prove it,” I said,

“I am not going to beg for anyone’s love. I am not going to change myself for anybody, I am going to keep living the way I am living at the moment,” I ended the conversation.

“I understand what you are trying to say, can you at least allow Zion to come home to spend time with all of us” Cristian commanded making me chuckled.

“Cristian, I am not holding him, hostage, here. He is here on his own will, he can leave at any  moment he wants,” I smiled,

“Liam, ask Zion to come down to meet Cristian at the cafeteria. Do not disturb me as I will be busy,” I told him my requests.

I started on the paper works that needed my approval. Some documents need to be redone. It took me fours hours to complete most of them. I then called a meeting for the spawns to plan out the next part of the mission. We will be connecting Conner through a secured line that we created for ourselves.

“Hey Conner, how’s things going on there?” I asked him as the call connected,

“Hey guys, so far. I am spending the day training like I am venting out my depression through physical. Father believes that my heart is too broken for me to fall in love again” Conner giggled.

“That is great. You have to slowly gain his trust, with his trust you can slowly gain the strength in your mafia,” I advised him,

“I understand that Bella,” he said with an understanding tone.

“Bella, be prepared. I heard rumours that father has begun to create plans to kidnap you and torture you,” he warned us,

“Thank you for the warning, We will keep an eye out here” I assured Conner. We hang up after sharing details.

“Guys, I wanted to create, a GPS tracking chip that is too small to be detected by any detectors,” I spoke to the team,

“I can inject it into my veins and you guys can use it to track me, without alerting the enemy,” I voiced out my thoughts,

“We can try to see if we can infuse any weapons into your shoes and necklaces” Luca voiced out his ideas.

We begin to share ideas that will keep me safe during and after the k********g. I will well be prepared for any kind of situation.
