Benji
Domenic's business meetings had finally been concluded, and we were on the private jet on the way to the UK to find that asshole's whereabouts and get Tiara out of there. I missed her so much.
I can believe I was so blind not to realize that something fishy was going on that night when Tiara was acting. I didn't know what Shaun Thomas looked like, only his reputation. The Thomas's were the worst mafia on this side of the continent. I had never seen him until the night he took Tiara away from me. I knew exactly who Kasapien Thomas was. He was the devil of hell here in Oz. He owned 70% of everything and Domenic the other 30%. He was the kingpin of Thomas International and whatever he wanted he got, including information on Tiara, someone had leaked to him about Tiara working at Big Bob's and I, for one, was going to find out.
I'm sure Dominic would want to know too. I've never forgotten that night when the love of my life was taken away from me.
They all entered the VIP Room and had settled down. Tiara looked disturbed when they walked in. It was like she recognized one of them and, just to prove my suspicion, I watched as she left the VIP Room, excusing herself to use the bathroom. Not five minutes later, one of the guys who had come into the VIP Room suddenly got up and left the room. He was tall, almost six feet and built like a brick s**t house. That didn't bother me. I could take down men twice my size.
I thought nothing of it at first. After ten minutes passed, I assumed he'd gone for a dump bug, then twenty minutes, thirty minutes had passed, so I decided to head out of the room. Tiara hadn't regimented in forty minutes, and I was panicking hoping that she was okay.
I was almost at the door when I was stopped by two of the bulky men that had come in with Kasapien.
"Move, before I move you."
"Good luck with that."
I turned to see Kasapien inches away from me. "Tell your men to step down, or they'll regret it?!" I warned them.
"Tut tut, tut. You're not going anywhere, Benji, unless I say so."
"I need to make sure Tiara is okay and safe."
"Oh, she's safe alright. My brother is taking care of her. Let's just say they are having a little reunion, then you'll have nothing to be worried about because you'll never see her ever again. She'll be back where she belongs, with my brother."
Hell no. "He'll have to fight me first."
"In that case, you'll have to go through all of us first."
I pumped forward. I had beaten more men than there were in this room before, and I would just get to Tiara and save her from that dickhead.
My punches landed on his face effortlessly, but it didn't last long, and he retaliated, landing a few punches and kicks which I retorted before his guards joined in. They were all stronger than I first anticipated. I fought harder than I ever had. I fell to the ground, and they punched and kicked me, leaving me bleeding on the floor.
"And you are the mafia? You're a disgrace to the world if you can't fight all of us. Your pathetic Benji Tiara will be better off with my brother again, at least he can keep her safe." He said before they all walked away, closing the door behind them, everything around me went black.
Big Ben had found me after closing and had patched me up saying that he had closed up. When I asked where Tiara was, he said that we were the only ones in the club, and he had assumed she'd gone home, and he was shocked when he had found me in the VIP Room alone, and unconscious.
The next day, we realised just how serious this s**t was. Not only had Tiara gone, but so had Stacey.
Big Bob tried to get in contact with Kristian but only got voice mail, which we found weird as HD always answered his calls, so we went to his and Stacy's apartment and discovered it had been turned upside down and Kristian was nowhere insightful, which meant they had been taken by the Thomas's as well as Tiara.
Domenic
I snapped my fingers in front of Benji. He'd spaced out for ten minutes or so. His eyes flickered then looked into mine. "s**t, sorry. I was miles away."
"It's okay, what were you thinking about?"
"Just how stupid I was to not realize that it was Shaun that night in the VIP Room. If I had, I could've reacted sooner."
"We all make mistakes, Benji, even me."
"Do you think we'll find her?"
"We will. We have the coordinates of the mansion he owns."
"Are you even sure that they are there?"
"The heat sensors say that there are at least twenty to thirty guards. Inside and out. There are five males inside and one female. Let's just hope it's not wrong and Tiara is there."
"And what if she isn't?"
"Then we beat the living s**t out of whoever is there, and make sure they tell us where Tiara is before we dispose of it."
"What about Shaun and Kasapien?"
"All in good time Benji, all a good time."
He nodded. "Do you think they had someone helping them? Someone on the inside?"
"Yes, I do. And when I find out who I'm going to tear them limb from limb, then tear them a new asshole before even considering asking why they did it."
"What if it's someone you know, someone close to you who betrayed you?"
"Then I will not hesitate in killing them. No one, and I mean no one, goes against Dominic Luppino unless they want to pay for their foolishness. And suffer the consequences."
He nodded. I think we both knew that there was someone other than the Thomas brothers behind this, and we were going to find out one way or another and that person or people would live to regret their decision to help the Thomas to take Tiara away from where she was happiest. I had tried and failed, now all I want to do is get away from that f****d up family and bring her home where she belongs.
