Claimed By The Don

Ava p. o. v

Once inside our room, Vince slammed the door shut with unnecessary force. I flinch from the impact, I gulp fearfully as Vince angrily pace the room. I wonder if he’s angry at Kara or just angry about the situation we are in.

I wait patiently for him to calm down, he took a few deep calming breaths. Stalk towards me, stopping an inch in front of me and pulling me into his arms. I quickly wrapped my arms around his neck, resting my head on his solid chest listening to his heart beating rapidly.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“You’re the only one keeping me sane.” Vince buried his face in my neck, sniffing on my neck. I run my hand on the back of his head in attempt to provide some sort of comfort, and reassurance that everything will be alright.

“Seeing both you and the baby safe is what’s keeping my sanity, and I want it to be that way.” He pulled back a little, looking me in the eyes before pulling me into a heart wrenching kiss. I quickly return his kiss, putting all my emotions into the kiss as much as I was feeling his emotions in his kiss.

“I want you to remain in this room until I’m back.” Vince spoke as soon as he pulled away from the kiss. I frown, aren’t we supposed to be working together in finding out Marco’s whereabout? I know I’m not gonna be of much help but I just try my best, I can’t just sit here waiting and not doing anything.

I can’t sit still, I want to help.

“It’s not an option Cara,” Vince say strictly, pulling completely away from me. ” You will stay here and wait for me to come back, and don’t you dare think about doing anything behind my back. You don’t want to find out the consequences.” His spoke in warnings but his eyes plead for me to obey, so I gave a quick nod to ease his mind.

He gave me one last long kiss before walking away, he stopped at the door looking me all over again. He gave a warning glare before disappearing through the door. I took a breath suddenly feeling cold, I’m now feeling the emptiness of the house.

I walk to the bed, crawling to the center and pulling the thick duvet over myself. Just as I was feeling comfortable, my phone pinged  Signaling an incoming message. I picked my phone from the nightstand, I double tap on the screen to wake it and indeed it’s a message.

But from an unknown number, and the number was hidden!! Which means I can’t see the number, not can I call or track it. I frown, not knowing if to open it or not. Curiosity get the better of me and I clicked on it.

Fear paralyzed me.

My heart leaped in my throat as I fought the raising panic.

I braced myself as goosebumps suddenly arose on my skin, I broke out in cold sweat as my insides tremble in terror.

It’s a picture. A picture of Marco sitting on a chair, both his arms were tied on the armrest, his legs were tied together and was blind folded. Although he didn’t look all scared like I had imagined but he still look scared.

He isn’t crying or trembling with fear like I expected, but he’s shaken up. Besides that he’s quite normal, almost as if he knows that he is been kidnapped.

Realisation sat on me. He knows! I sniffled quietly, tears threatening to spill, I choke back a sob. I couldn’t contain myself anymore, I broke out in sobs.

I felt my heart clenched against chest.

The door to my room open but I couldn’t bring myself to look at who has entered the room.

“Ava, I’m sorry for… Ava?” I heard Kara spoke before coming to my side of view. “Ava, are you alright?” She sighed feeling quilty.

“I know what I said back there must have upset you, but I  sincerely regret everything. I’m just scared for Marco. Please forgive me” She said, her voice thick with remorse.

“No!”  I forced out through the tightness in my throat.

“Huh…. Oh… Ava I’m really sor….” She dropped her head down as she spoke, eyes teary and voice waver.

“Kara! Look” I raised the phone up for her to see, she slowly raised her head up. Immediately her eyes went wide, she quickly crawl on the bed and snatched the phone from me. Grabbing on the phone as of she could bring Marco out.

Watching her reaction made me tear up more, both kara and Marco are both innocent they shouldn’t be going through this much emotional pains.

“A message just came in.” Kara beckons me forward, I crawl beside her.

‘ don’t you dare show this message to anyone if you want to see your sweet little son alive, my patience isn’t limitless. Don’t dare me.’

I gasped as I had already shown Kara, terror stab in my chest. I remain rooted in place as fear consumed me.

‘ I see you’ve already showed your sexy little sister in law, but that should be that last person. And one more thing, don’t forget to take her along with you later when I send for you later. See you in two hours.”

I almost choked on my breath, Kara cower into me seeking comfort and reassurance which I myself seek.
