My eyes felt extremely heavy like they were glued shut, there was this ringing in my ear and I had a splitting headache. It was like someone had hit me over the head with a ten tonne brick, these were the first things I noticed once I had woken up. I groaned and turned to bury my face in the pillow when I noticed how funky it smells, my pillows smells like chocolate vanilla scented candles, opposed to this one which smells like wet dirty dogs. I fight to open my eyes despite them feeling so heavy and the pain in my head.

"Good, she's awake" I heard someone said.

Frightened by the voice since I definitely was not expecting anyone else here with me, I scrambled up on the bed before my eyes landed on the culprit.

I looked at him with confusion as to what the hell he's doing here and where the hell I am, I looked round the room noticing it looked like some rat infested motel. Then I remembered me seeing Snakes at the restaurant before everything went black. The bastard must've knock me unconscious then brought me here, wherever here was.

"Its great to see you finally up, now we can talk" Snakes said.

"What are you...where the hell am I?" I managed to get out even though my voice sounded hoarse most likely from my dry throat.

Its officially now, I'm definitely the queen of getting kidnapped.

"You're back at my current place" Snakes replied.

"This is where you stay?" I asked looking at the place in disgust and wrinkling my nose. "It looks and smell like something died in here".

"Yeah, something probably did" Snakes said as he looked around as well. "Now back to business".

" What do...ow!" I stopped talking and clutching my head as the pain rise again. "What do you want?"

"Didn't know how easy you'd passed out so had to hit you a bit hard" He said pointing to my head.

"What the hell did you hit me with?" I hissed at him as my fingers massage a bump that has form in the side of my head.

"Not much, just this" Snakes replied pulling a gun.

"You hit me with a gun!" I shrieked at him only to have the pain intensify as a result of my own shriek.

"Keep your voice down" Snakes replied aiming the gun at me causing my eyes to go wide. "Another outburst and I'll be force to pull the trigger"

"What do you want?" I asked cautiously.

"I was getting at that before you interrupted me" Snakes said. "Now I'm sure you probably know by now that your boyfriend and the entire Cavelli group is after me".

" I don't know anything, Gio never... " I started but was cut off.

"Shut up and let me finish" Snakes said pushing the gun further in the direction of my head. "You don't talk unless I tell you to. Now as I was saying, you're most likely aware of them being after me for over a week now. If I wasn't swift enough to get away as quick as I did and able to hide out here I'd be dead already. Everything was working out quite fine until all of a sudden I have men, whom I had called brothers before coming after me. Ask me why?"

"Why?" I asked biting the inside of my cheek as I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Because they had their heads stuck way up in Cavelli's ass they can't even think for themselves. If he sys jump they jump without question, well I'm sick of it so I decided to try and make my own group be my own boss" Snakes said to me.

"And what does any of this have to do with me?" I asked him.

"Didn't I say you weren't supposed to talk unless I told you to" Snakes yelled walking closer to me with his gun still aimed, I had to resist the urge to roll my eyes at him. "This has everything to do with you. Remember when you saw me at the restaurant and I told you not to say a word to Cavelli about seeing me there? Well I can't help but think, someone here must've disobeyed me and run there mouth"

I continued chewing the inside of my cheek and staring at him, waiting for him to continue.

"Just to be clear here, that someone is not me. So what do you have to say for yourself about that?" Snakes asked glaring at me.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't..."

"Shut up, I don't want to hear anything from you" Snakes said cutting me off.

This guy is definitely crazy, no doubt about that.

"Now as you probably know, my accounts somehow got frozen and I'm not able to withdraw any money so as you guessed, I'm broke" Snakes said. "So here's what's going to happen, I told you I'd slit your throat if you ever said anything but I just realized you could be of great use to me in more ways than one. Pretty soon that boyfriend of yours is going to realized you're missing".

Wait, how long was I out? I turned to looked at my watch only to realize its gone, along with all my other jewelry and the bracelet that Gio had given me.

" I got rid of them" Snakes said watching me. "Those are probably long gone across another city by now. Knowing you were a mafia bitch those jewelry were probably bugged or tracking devices. Especially if any of them came from Cavelli, wasn't going to take the risk".

"My Dad gave me that watch " I said through clenched teeth.

"Its upsetting I know, but couldn't risk them tracking you and coming here so I had to dump them in another vehicle going across town" Snakes replied.

Now I really hated him more than I did before. He had threw away my belongings. That watch was given to me by my Dad, Gio gave me that bracelet and those earrings and necklace were matching diamond pairs which I had bought myself and they were expensive. It was like throwing away thousands of dollars. And speaking of not wanting to be tracked, well I wasn't sure how long now I've been gone but I'm pretty sure Dominic is now on the trail here if he isn't still too mad at me. Considering I was talking to him when Snakes apparently knocked me out he's probably well on his way by now. What this guy doesn't know, is that I myself is a tracking device since I still had one implanted in my arm. And when Emilia noticed I haven't returned I'm pretty sure she's called Gio by now, so if this guy doesn't hurry up and kill me and fled he's in big trouble.

"Now as I was saying before, you could be of great use to me. Instead of getting rid of you, I could just keep you for my own, see what he found so interested about you" Snakes said and I looked at him disgusted. "Sure you're pretty and all but I really have to wonder if that was all. On the other hand I need cash, and if you mean anything to the big boss, I'm sure he's going to do anything to get you back which includes paying quite a ransom to get you back. If he values you enough I'm sure we could work out a deal where in exchange for you, he'd pay me and let me go. What do you think?"

"I think you're a freaking sick asshole" I said to him reaching my hand into my boots.

"Yeah maybe I am" Snakes grinned and coming closer to me. "But first I want to see what it is that leads a supposedly ruthless mafia boss to a fragile weak pathetic female like you".

"How about I show you?" I said before pulling out the baby gun I had in my boot and hitting him across the head with it.

"Oww! Bitch!" Snakes yelled clutching his head as he stumbled back a bit.

I used that opportunity to kick him in the chest causing him to fall backwards unto the floor. I wasted no time in pushing myself up from the smelly piece of old bed despite my headache and stood up. I saw Snakes trying to reach for his gun that had fell out of his hand when he had fell, and trying to get up. I quickly fired one shot right in the hand he was reaching with and another in his left knee.

"Ow! Bitch! Bitch!!" Snakes kept yelling writhing on the floor in agony.

"Believe me hun, I've been called worst" I said as I stood over him. "Whose weak and pathetic now?"

"You... You I'm going to kill you" Snakes panted trying to sit up but I stepped on the knee I had just shot making him drop to his back once again.

"Yeah yeah says the guy who currently looks like the weak pathetic bitch he had called me" I said to him before kneeling down in front him one foot still on his injured one. "So how about we make this less painful by telling me where I am exactly"

"Go to hell bitch!" Snakes shouted before lunging at me and grabbing me around the throat.

The force caused me to stumbled back and his good hand still had a whole lot of strength was cutting off my breathing. I had to use all my strength to swing my hand with the gun hitting him in the head once again causing him to let go. I scrambled back from him firing a shot which hit him somewhere in the stomach and causing him to fall back laying still on the ground. I clutched my neck coughing as I tried to catch my breath. As I had managed to stand to my feet, the door of the motel room fell in to the floor revealing a frantic looking Gio, Dominic and surprisingly Lucas.

"Gio... I must be dreaming" I started to smile glad to see them but surprised to see these guys here together.

"Lexi watch out!" Gio said withdrawing his gun.

By the time he had fired his gun, I felt a sharp pain in my left shoulder around the back. I cried out as I fell to my knees clutching the area. I noticed Gio had fired a couple more shots behind me before rushing towards me as well as Dominic. I pulled back my hand and noticed my fingers coated in blood.

"What..." I started saying in confusion from the intense pain in my back and the blood on my hand now.

"You got shot" Dominic said in a panic voice confirming my suspicion.

Omg she got shot! 😱😱😱😱 Is she gonna make it? How bad is it? Guess you're going to have to wait on the next chapter to find out.
