Matteo's pov- She's gone, she's really gone. They took her away from us again, my chest tightened as memories of my time there began to resurface

I sat in a corner, not paying attention. The beatings, she won't be able to handle them. What if they touch her like they touched me?

Tears blurred my vision and I buried my face in my hands. I felt someone touch me and I looked up to see Xander

"It's gonna be okay" he said in a gruff voice

"No it's not! They're gonna hurt her like they hurt us fuck!" I snapped in frustration, clutching my hair tightly

"She's strong, stronger than us. She'll be fine" he said but it sounded like he was trying to convince himself. I looked at him and saw the tears in his eyes

Seeing his tears made mine fall rapidly. A sob left my lips and I buried my face in my hands again. If there is a God out there, please save my sister

"Calm down Teo. S-she's gonna be okay" He said and pulled me into a hug

"She won't be able to handle it. You know that Xan, those punishments, the beatings, oh God the beatings!" I mumbled in his chest as more tears fell

"Shh it's alright. Everything's gonna be fine, Tony will get her back, he has to" he said soothingly

"Will she really be okay?" I asked and he fell silent

"She'll be fine" he said after some time

Antonio's pov- We received a call from the gate saying a strange car had arrived. I knew it was the Cobra leader

"Let him in" I said and hung up. I ran my hand through my hair tiredly

Shortly after the call, the door bell rang and Dom opened the door and the leader of the Cobra gang walked into our house

"Don Antonio" he said with a friendly smile

"Derek Frost" I said back with no emotion

"So what happened over here?" He asked, making himself comfortable on our couch

"My sister has been kidnapped" I said in a low tone

"You already found her? Mafia princess?" He asked and I noticed her friends expressions changing

"Dad did you say mafia princess?" The boy asked

"Yes son, we are currently standing in the house of the Italian/American mafia" Derek said nonchalantly

"Bloody fuckin hell" the boy said again

"That doesn't matter. Your son said something about being able to help" I cut in before they could say anything else

"Ah yes, we will help in any way we can" he said

"I thought the Cobras withdrew from our borders?" Stephano asked as he eyed Derek, eyes filled with suspicion

"That was my father, I have nothing against your mafia. Infact I'd like if we renewed our partnership, allies?" Derek offered

I thought about in for some time before nodding and shaking his hand

"Then it's settled. Let's get your princess back" Derek said

Gabriella's pov- I was woken up by water being splashed on my face.

"Would you look at that, the princess is finally awake" i heard a familiar voice and I looked up to see Lexi or should I say Viktoria

"Hello cousin" I said with a sarcastic smile and her face darkened

"Do not fuckin call me that you bitch. You are not my cousin!" She yelled and I laughed

"Girl chill, why are you so worked up?" I asked in fake concern

"You talk alot for someone who's just been kidnapped. Aren't you scared?" She asked in genuine confusion

"Not really" I said with a shrug as I looked around at the dirty basement

"You could've done better I mean this place smells like shit" I commented and she glared at me

"Fuckin watch your mouth!" She said and slapped me. I looked back at her with a bored expression on my face

"You think you're so tough huh?" She asked and brought out a knife, waving it in my face

"Oh fuck I'm so scared" I said sarcastically and she sneered at me. She stabbed the knife into my thigh and I groaned lightly

"Where'd you get that knife? It's actually really good" I said as I looked at the knife in my thigh curiously

"Shut up! Just shut up. You're supposed to be scared!" She roared in anger

"You don't scare me. It's that simple" I said

It was the truth, having dealt with Luke and facing all that, her torture seemed weak to me.

"I'll handle her Viktoria" I heard another familar voice and turned. I froze when I saw Luke

Sweat beads formed on my forehead, my heart beat raced in panic. I clenched my jaw trying to calm down

"My dolly, how are you darling. I missed you so much" he said as he walked closer to me. Viktoria took a step back with a smirk on her face

I glared at him, not allowing him to see the effect he had on me. It always got worse when he could sense my fear

"I know what you did to my daughter" he said darkly, his eyes shining with malice

(TW-Torture scene ahead, please skip if you're uncomfortable)

He removed the knife from my thigh harshly and I winced in pain. My vision blurred with tears and I pushed them back

"Does that hurt darling?" He asked with a sick smile on his face

I kept quiet and he backhanded me, grabbing my face roughly in his hands

"Answer me when I fuckin talk to you" he growled at me

He took a pair of pliers from the table and I closed my eyes, already anticipating the pain

He grabbed my hand roughly and slowly ripped my nails off. I groaned loudly as I trashed in the chair

"Shut your fuckin mouth or I'll make it worse" he warned and I clenched my jaw, trying not to make a sound

"Now darling, you remind me so much of your mother. I miss her you know, she was such a foolish woman" he said as he looked at me.

I knew he was trying to get a reaction out of me so I kept quiet. He pressed his hand to the wound on my thigh and I bit my lips harshly to prevent myself from making any sounds

He smiled viciously as he looked at me. He grabbed his favorite whip, my eyes widened slightly when I saw it, it was the same whip he used before

He raised it and brought it down harshly on my back and a whimper escaped my lips

"What did I tell you about not making any noises?" He asked as he brought it down on me harder

Tears fell from my eyes as I felt the skin on my back tear open.

"Count for me sweetheart" he whispered in my ear. I counted, feeling my vision blur from exhaustion.

"That's enough Luke. She can't die yet, you know that" Viktoria intervened just as he was about to strike me again

He grunted before dropping the whip and landed a punch on my jaw, causing my head to snap to the side

"I said that's enough!" She yelled at him and he took a step back

She walked closer to me, crouching down and eyed me in disgust

"You look so ugly right now. It's a shame, you and I would've been great friends if only your brother didn't kill my father" she said venomously

I raised my head weakly and smiled at her. "He deserved it" I whispered as I felt myself slipping out of consciousness

Third person's pov- Three days had passed since the italian mafia princess was kidnapped. Word had spread around that she was kidnapped by the Russians

Antonio was conflicted, having no idea what to do. He was currently in his office, head in his hands, frustration evident on his face

"I think we should tell the others" Dom suggested as he walked in. His eyes widened slightly, seeing the state of his older brother

"I already told them. They're on their way" Antonio said tiredly

"You should rest Antonio. You haven't slept in three days" Domenico said, feeling worried about his brother

"How can I rest when our bambina is gone?"

"If you don't rest how the fuck are you gonna help bring her back?" Domenico asked harshly, feeling tired of his brother's stubbornness

"I know but-"

"No buts. You are going to rest" Domenico cut him off and he sighed before nodding

Domenico's phone beeped and he looked down at it

"Grandpa said to inform you that they'll be here in half an hour" he said

"Okay. Any progress?" Antonio asked Domenico

"Nothing. Every lead leads to a dead end" Domenico said, rubbing his face restlessly

"Have you tried hacking into the school's cameras? Just in case it catches them leaving?" Antonio asked, hope swelling in his heart

"I already did. Those bastards deleted every footage, I tried getting them back but I can't" Domenico said

"I think it's time we contact all our allies for help" Domenico suggested

"You're right, it could quicken our search" Antonio said

Both of them exited the office and went down for dinner. All the brothers sat with moody expressions on their faces.

"I'm inviting our allies for a meeting. We need all the help we can get" Antonio said and they all nodded

"They'll come to the base tomorrow afternoon. Please be ready on time and don't misbehave" He said and they nodded again

"Why would we misbehave? They're gonna be helping us so we won't do anything stupid" Stephano assured him and he nodded

When they finished eating, the door bell rang and they opened it to see their cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents

"What is this I hear about my piccolo being kidnapped?!" Their grandfather asked in a grave tone, his eyes turning a few shades darker

"She got kidnapped at school" Antonio said with his head down, feeling guilty

"Any leads?" Their grandfather asked with a glare

"Nothing yet"

"So you're telling me, my granddaughter has been kidnapped for three days and you still haven't found anything useful?!" Ricardo snapped angrily

"We're trying grandpa" Domenico said exasperatedly

"You trying is not good enough! Gather the men, blow up all Russian warehouses around the area. I don't care how, I'm taking charge now"

"We can't do that grandfather. It could put our sorella in more danger" Alessandro reasoned and Ricardo let out a deep sigh knowing he was right

"Do whatever you must. We need to get her back immediately" he said and sat down, rubbing his chest

"Grandpa calm down please. Xander go get him some water" Leonardo said

"I'm holding a meeting with our allies tomorrow" Antonio said and Ricardo nodded

"Hopefully something good will come out of it" he said and drank his water

"Everyone go to bed. Tomorrow is gonna be a long day" Antonio said and went upstairs, head hung low
