It has been a week since we caught Ryder, he was not ready to spill the beans but I made sure he does.

“Ryder just tell me why or else I will make sure you will have a painful death and you know I am serious,” I shouted.

“Fuck off, you are just a piece of shit who doesn’t deserve to be a mafia” He chuckled on the last part.

“Okay let’s see” I took a knife and chopped off his right index finger which he uses to shoot a gun and then took another knife and stabbed it on his hand.

“Ready to talk?” I said with a smirk but he didn’t bulge.

“I thought of you as a family but you betrayed us so I would not even think once before giving you what you deserve,” I said and I can see he is getting scared now. I took a knife and started heating it on fire and when it’s all heated, I stabbed his other hand with that.

I continued my torture till he broke and told me that the Russian mafia wanted to acquire us and he thought I am an easy target so he sent Ryder to kill me and my men to lead here. Well, that was stupid. After he spilled everything about Sergei, the leader of the Russian Mafia, I took another knife and cut his throat in one go. I walked out satisfied with the information I got and asked Sam to check about this Russian mafia.

“He is a powerful brat and tries to capture mafia gangs by force. He tries to kill the leader or forcefully marry their daughter in order to do so.” Sam told me.

“Okay now we have to wait for his move and what about that another guy?”

“He’s not found yet which means he must have told Sergei about our secrets.” He said which is true but I am more worried about Ava now.

“Sam make sure Ava has good security she is in danger if they try and take revenge on her,” I told him and he nodded.

“She is different Arthur but you really need to tell her about all of this you know.,” Sam said and I started to remember her face, her smile…

“She is my little sister now and if you hurt her Arthur I will make sure I will be the first one to punch you,” He said sarcastically and I chuckled.

“I think you are in love, don’t be late to tell her that Arthur,” Sam said and left me shocked. 

Am I in love with Ava?

It's time I see her. I know she will be angry at me and will take extra efforts to apologize. I called the guards who are 24/7 checking on her to know where she is and they told me she is in a cemetery and just by knowing that scared me.

“What the fuck she is doing there? Is she alright? You better do your job right or else even god would not be able to save you from me” I shouted.

“Boss she is in sitting in the middle of two graves and reading a letter”

“What? I need you to tell me what’s in that letter and make sure you call me when she reaches back home” I ordered and cut the call. 

What happened Ava? I hope you are alright.

A few moments later I got a picture of that letter by that guard and when I read that, tears formed in my eyes, and I couldn’t help but think about my Ava. 

She needs me right now and there is no fucking thing in this world that’s more important than her. I asked the guard to keep the letter where it was and did some work that needed to be done because I am not coming back anytime soon. 

I told Sam everything and he understood that Ava needed me so he assured me he will take care of everything behind my back. I changed to a white T-shirt and ripped dark blue jeans with black shoes and took out my red Ferrari. I stopped to get some flowers for her and chose randomly as I don’t know what she likes.

As soon as I rang the bell of her place I took a deep breath and she took more time than usual to open the door and as she did she was shocked to see me. I can see her hair was wet maybe because of shower or rain I am not sure, her face was pale and she was wearing a tee and shorts.

“Hey,” I said and she responded but she was angry at me and I saw that in her expression which for the first time she was not trying to cover.

“Can I come in please?” I asked and she nodded so I went in and gave her the flowers which she took and got busy putting it in a vase.

“Ava I am sorry for leaving like that and not talking to you for a whole week, it was something important and needed my full attention...” I said, she nodded but was not responding instead she made a drink for both of us and drank her in just one go.

“Ava look at me is everything alright?” I was worried for her now please tell me about it baby, pour your heart out.

“I am okay, just that today is the death anniversary of my family and I just came back from the cemetery so not in the mood to talk,” She told me but I was more concerned for her now, she was sounding very low.

“It's okay you can cry if you want,” I said because I know she would.

“I wish I could, but I will not” 

What? 

You have not cried?  

“When was the last time you cried?”

“When I had a fight with my mom for some stupid reason and my mom didn’t talk to me for a day” 

To say that I was shocked was an understatement. She’s keeping it all inside which must be eating her up all the time!

I hugged her.

I just assured her that I really am sorry and I will not leave her on her own. I didn’t say anything else just comforted her. She pulled off a few moments later and said “Thanks” I smiled seeing she is feeling better.

We sat on the sofa and I pulled her closer so that she can rest on my laps and I can see she quickly fell asleep. I was watching her for like 3-4 hours until I fell asleep too...
