Mafia's Agent Lover

Five.

Antonio's P . O . V

I pretty much got little or no sleep through out the night as I remained on that very thin line between sleep and consciousness and that wasn't because I in any way felt threatened by the stranger present in my room, not at all.

It's more like a habit for me.

All I waited for was that hour that announced the breaking of dawn when I could pay Luca a visit and get to the bottom of all what's happening and also find out a thing or two about my little visitor who seems to be fast asleep all tied up on her chair.

The clock struck 5:00 Am and I got out of bed. It wasn't exactly bright outside yet but I couldn't wait any longer.

With that, I threw on my signature appearance of a button down long sleeved black shirt with black matching pants, a black coat over, a pair of black shoes and sometimes a hat but I excused that for now.

Bright colours made me sick in the stomach and my plans for Luca isn't particularly bright so the look compliments it all.

"I'll be back for you" I whispered more to myself as I looked in her direction for a split second before I carried out of the room and all the way down to the dungeon where I ordered Luca be thrown.

By the time I got there, Marco and Stefano were already present down there behind the iron bars with the badly beaten Luca suspended in the air with his both hands and legs chained from each sides and his head hung low.

"Good Morning Boss" the men on guard of the dungeon greeted the very moment they spotted me and that aroused the attention of Marco and Stefano including Luca to my presence and I smirked wickedly at how terrified Luca looked on spotting me as I stepped into his cold dark cell that was illuminated by an almost dim bulb that was just bright enough to let him see the rage in my eyes.

"Good Morning Boss" Marco and Stefano greeted and held down their whips as I approached further with calm calculated steps.

"Any word from him yet?" I demanded immediately, not once loosing eye contact with Luca.

"He hasn't opened up about anything yet" Marco replied and I deepened my smirk.

It's Time to have some fun.

"Untie him" I ordered and he was down sprawled out on the ground in no time from how roughly he was freed from the chains.

I yanked him up by his shirt and had his back against the cold concrete wall of the dungeon and he shrieked with fear and avoided eye contact with me and that only pissed me further.

"Make him seat" I ordered and let go of his shirt then moved back a bit to watch with my hands crossed as my orders were being carried out.

In no time, he was in the middle of the cell all tied up on a chair giving the interrogative vibe and I found my mind traveling back to the tied up person in my room.

I shook off every thought of her I was getting and brought back my focus to the situation at hand and then the thoughts that she really could be here for Luca struck me again and I landed my fist flat on his already bruised jaw without warning.

"WHY?!" I roared out and he remained silent just like I had expected and I got pushed to unleash the very worst on him.

I turned over to look at Stefano and nodded once at him and he bowed curtly, understanding my message.

He left to carry out my order and returned few moments later with a pot of burning hot coal and a steel iron rod with a triangular shaped bottom all red and hot from the burning flames of the hot coal.

I watched his eyes widen with horror as I pulled out the hot rod and stepped closer to him.

"No No... I'm sorry Boss" he yelled but I paid no attention to him as I ripped off probably his first three buttons with one hand as I yanked on his shirt in order to leave his chest bare to me.

He was shaking vigorously on his chair but there's only so much movement he could manage with how firmly held to the chair he was by the chains.

"I said, Tell Me WHY?!" I said through my teeth, spelling each word out before I drove the hot rod right to his chest and he roared out in agony from the impact.

He was screaming so loudly at such early hour of the day he could most definitely awaken a den of dead lions.

"They left me no choice!" He yelled and I released the rod from burning into his chest any further.

I threw down my weapon into a halfway filled bucket of water and watched as the water made a sizzling sound and emited a great deal of smoke before I returned my attention back to the Heavily panting Luca.

"What do you mean?" I inquired

"They took my son! And they promised to kill him if I didn't comply with them" he confessed and I didn't know whether or not to be more annoyed.

"Why didn't you come to me?!" I demanded and snatched his jaw in my hand.

"I'm sorry Boss, I just couldn't risk my son's life, he's the only one I've got" he replied and tears rolled down his eyes and I couldn't tell whether they were for remorse or from the pain inflicted on him or probably from the fear of loosing his child.

"Now, you're gonna tell me just exactly where they are! I'll make them pay for trying to steal from me and for what they did to my men" I continued with my both fists now balled up in annoyance.

"They still have my son, if I tell you, they're gonna kill him" he replied, not at all hiding his hesitation to let me know about the southern raiders whereabouts.

"Luca, you've worked with me for several years and you do this to me? If they took your kid you should have just told me and I would have made sure to have him back at all cost! They are our enemies Luca, what made you think they wouldn't harm your kid after all?" I questioned in a high pitched tone and his eyes opened widely when realization hit him.

"I'm so sorry Boss" he replied and bowed down his head.

"Now tell me, where are they?" I demanded.

He remained silent and that pissed me off. I snatched a bottle of alcohol and emptied the content all over his wounds and he screamed out once again in agony and his screams echoed through the walls of the dungeon.

"Where the F*CK ARE THEY?!" I barked out one more

"At the borderline between here and Symphore, they set up Camp there" He replied in a rather timid voice.

"Leave us" I ordered after a moment of silence and everyone was out immediately leaving just me and the barely recognizable Luca.

"The woman, who is she?" I demanded in a straight voice wanting to have my doubts cleared at the moment.

"What woman boss?" He replied and managed eye contact with me.

"Don't try to act dumb with me Luca" I warned and held his throat in my hand.

"I have no idea what you're talking about Boss" he replied through my strangling hold.

"A woman was here last night trying to kill me just after you were brought in here, who is she?" I explained further

"I swear to you Boss, I have nothing to do with that" he replied and I didn't know whether or not to believe him.

"If I find out you're involved with her somehow, I'll kill you myself" I declared and kicked down his chair before leaving to Join the others standing outside awaiting me.

"What do we do now Boss?" Marco inquired once I joined their group.

"Have him fed once daily and stop with the beatings for now" I ordered the head guard of the dungeon before turning to face Marco and Stefano.

"Lead a troop to the border line, we'll launch an attack on the southern raiders and make sure the boy is rescued at all cost" I ordered.

I wouldn't spare even a single one of the southern raiders.

"Yes Boss" they chorused and left.

After stepping out into the open, I realized it was pretty much dawn already and the sun was almost out but one couldn't really tell down there in the dungeon.

I heaved a sigh and carried along on my way back to my mansion but stopped briefly just as the guards on watch greeted me.

"Gather round boys" I ordered and in no time, I was surrounded by dozens of them all still fully armed.

"You're not to leave your positions for exchange of shifts till the next batch is already on ground. Got that?" I ordered Wondering why it never crossed my mind before.

That probably is because no one has ever dared come into my house that is not until last night and I needed to bridge that little gap.

"Yes Boss" they all chorused and I dismissed them with a wave of my hand and carried on along into the house where I strolled up into my room only to discover sleeping beauty was still yet to awaken.

With the natural rays of light hitting on her skin directly, it looked like she shone and her dark hair which was all over her face from how low her head hung shimmered like it contained tiny pieces of dark diamonds.

I walked past her to the full length mirror by the edge of my room just very close to my closet to keep myself busy taking off my coat.

I was rolling up the sleeves of my shirt when I heard the sounds of her chains hit against the steel chair which announced a movement from her and I turned over to glance at her immediately and found her scanning my bed with those hawk eyes.

"Ah, you're awake" I called out and she turned sharply to glare at me and I feared she could wring her own neck with how much she forced it.

Perfect. It was about time she opened those eyes.

More than anything, it's about time I get to know just exactly who the actual hell she is.
