Chapter 35: Chapter 35

Adrianna POV.

After dinner, I walked back to my room. When I was done taking all the rubbish from the bed, I decided to have a shower even though I had not gone out today. But I will have just a quick one.

After half an hour, I was done. I tied my towel around my body and walked out of the bathroom to my room. I could even sleep naked tonight. I am so lazy to get my pajamas.

(At midnight.)

Who is shouting this early morning?

Did they have to ruin my sleep?

I pulled myself out of the bed and walked towards my closet. I picked a blue booty short and a black baggy tee-shirt. I later walked out of my room towards where the noise was coming from.

"What's with all this noise?" I asked as I entered the living room. I found everyone was awake, apart from Ivan.

"Ivan…." Abigail tried saying but she was crying.

"What about him?" I asked now fully awake.

"He is gone," Mike said and that is when I lost it.

"What the hell do you mean that he is gone?" I snapped.

"There was an attack in the house but they attacked our men silently. That is why we didn't hear anything. When Abigail went to check on Ivan, she found she was missing and that is when we realised all our men were dead," Ace exclaimed. I nodded my head because I was afraid that if I speak, I will end up hurting someone. But who was I kidding? I ended up speaking anyway.

"Are you sure your mafia is the most feared?" I asked angrily. "Honestly you have a mole in your mafia and still haven't noticed. Pray to God that I get that kid in the next forty eight hours cause if I don't, I will kill you," I told him.

They were all shocked but I didn't care. I got out of the house and towards my car. I have gotten close with that kid even if I am not close with his family. Who can hate such a joyful kid? I drove towards our penthouse. It didn't take me long to arrive. The house was dark and silent. I guess Ivy is sleeping. I don't want to wake her up cause it is too early and I am sure she slept late.

I walked to my room and got to my computers. I would have used the one at Ace's mansion but this was more secure than that one. I hacked the mansion's security footage but at that time they were already hacked. I tried everything CCTV in the mansion but it was the same.

"Didn't you keep some cameras at Ivan's bedroom for fun when he requested you to?" Flare asked.

That is when I remembered. I tried getting into it but unfortunately, it was more secure and I had to use the computers at the mansion so I went back. Walking inside, I met them still in the living room. They had worried faces and wondered what to do.

"What if we can call The Poison for help?" Mark asked and I halted. There was no way I was going to risk being found out so the only way is not answer their call.

"Adrianna, where are you rushing from and to?" Alex asked. As much as I wanted to talk rudely to him, I couldn't. He wasn't Ace. Debating whether to tell them or not, I finally decided to.

"I was over the penthouse. I tried getting into the security footage but at that time, they were already shut," I said.

"So what are we going to do now?" Abigail asked and I rolled my eyes. Ace glared at me and I returned the glare.

"When I was installing cameras in my room, I was with Ivan and he had pleased me to do so in his room," I said and they all turned their attention to me.

"You mean his room has hidden cameras?" Mike asked and I nodded my head.

"Not only that. But for anyone who has tried to get into the room, you have noticed something detects you," I said and some of them nodded their heads while others had confused faces.

"I also did that to his room. I was so sleepy that I didn't hear it beeping. Anyways, it should capture who it was even if they are in masks," I said.

"How is that possible ?" Paul asked.

"Technology," I said and he nodded.

"He wasn't supposed to get his hands on Ivan apart from various people. That means the guy who took him is injured," I said.

"I…I saw blood in the room," Mike said.

"There should be. I need to access my computers to see what happened to the room. I will notify you all when I find something which can help us," I said and walked away from them before they asked me other questions.

I got into my room and locked it to avoid disturbance. I logged in my computer and found some many notifications. I heard a knock at the door but I ignored it. I looked at the notification and saw what I was looking for.

Derrick Valdamir and Henry Vasiliev.

Brother to Elijah Valdamir. But who was the other guy?

"Who got hurt?" I asked.

Henry Vasiliev

"Do you know who the mole is?" I asked and it started searching. It came negative, which means the person never spoke to the Russians while in the mansion or the compound.

"Derrick's location," I said and it started hacking on various systems so as to find it. After ten minutes, the location was there.

Via del street 1.9km from Revi

"Adrianna, please open the door," he shouted on the other side.

I walked to my weapon base and picked the weapons that I knew I would need. I later walked to the closet and wore a black jeans, black pull neck, black boots and a black trench coat. I applied some makeup and later walked out. I walked past him and I knew that he was following me behind.

When I got to the living room, all eyes snapped to me.

"Derrick Valdamir and one of their men," I said and they had shocked faces.

"You know Vincenzo, if Elijah's brother can get to the mansion, do you think your mafia is strong?" I asked and started walking.

"Where are you going?" Amelia asked.

"To find Derrick of course," I said.

"Who will you find him and you don't have his location?" Alex asked.

"You all think so low of me!" I said.

"Ace, don't forget what I told you. The time is clicking. If I fail to find him, say your goodbye," I said and walked away. I really didn't need their help.

My phone started ringing and I answered it.

"Ria?" Ivy asked.

"What?" I asked.

"Why were you in the house?" She asked.

"Weren't you asleep?" I asked.

"I was but I heard someone closing the door and I woke up to check and saw your image in the cameras," she said.

"Yes, I was. Apparently, Elijah's brother got into the mansion. Him and his men killed Ace's men and took Ivan," I explained.

"What?" She yelled.

"I know. I just found Derrick's location and I am off to his place," I said.

"Derrick as in Elijah's brother?" She asked and I nodded my head.

"Adrianna!" She shouted.

"Sorry. I forgot you weren't here. Yes he is," I said.

"Okay. Backup is right behind you. I will find out where you have reached," she said and disconnected the phone.

This girl never learns. Driving like a mad person, I arrived after an hour. It was really a long drive but I had to do this.

Stepping out of the car, I loaded my gun and walked towards the building. It was heavily guarded. Deciding to have some fun, I took out a weed and lit it and leaned against my car.

"Ire, get rid of them," I said and I watched the men fall down one after the other. When the path was clear, I walked into the building. It was silent and dark but had dim lights. I searched every apartment till I was in the last one. Opening it, I heard someone cuss. I kept my gun steady as I walked inside.

There he was, Derrick Valdamir.

"What is a pretty lady like you doing here?" He asked.

Ignoring him, I looked at whether there was any camera in the house and fortunately, they were all looking in another direction. I wondered whether they were working in the first place.

Taken care of! Flare said and I chuckled. Ivy!!

"You have something which belongs to me!" I told him.

"I don't think so," he said.

"Ivan Moretti?" I asked and his eyes widened. "I am sorry for the loss of Henry."

"Who are you?" He asked.

"Wrong answer," I said as I shot his leg.

"Tell me where the kid is. I am not in the mood to torture someone this early morning so you better answer me," I said as I stabbed his other leg, making him scream in agony.

"Yo…u…are lu….cky. I had not taken him yet to my brother," he said.

"Good. Then I guess he is in this house right?" I asked and he nodded.

"How does it feel to be someone's puppet?" I asked him. He shot me a glare, making me chuckle. "Annoying right!"

"Anyways, I want you to call your brother right now," I told him.

"Over my dead body," he said with pure hatred evident in his eyes.

"Ooh, trust me. You will be in a few," I said as I walked towards him, picking his phone and calling Elijah.

"Derrick. Why are you calling? You already told me you have the boy," Elijah said on the other end.

"Yes he did but I am going to rescue the kid," I said.

"And who are you?" He asked.

"No one that you should know at the moment but you will soon," I answered.

"How about we negotiate?" I asked.

"I can never negotiate with the Italians," he said.

"Then I am going to kill your brother," I said and he chuckled.

"Do you think I care about him? He is useless to me. If I gave him a simple task to carry out and he failed. He has never done anything right," he said with disgust in his voice.

I looked at Derrick and saw that he wanted to cry.

"Man up. Men don't cry," I told him and he looked up at me.

"Elijah you are just a fool. Dumb. You really think he is useless right? Why didn't you do the task for yourself then?" I asked him.

"If I get my hands on you woman, you are going to regret it," he said and I chuckled.

"I will kill you before you make me regret it," I said coldly as I disconnected the call.

"Now, take me to where the boy is," I told Derrick.

"How can I walk when you have already injured both of my legs?" He asked.

"I don't care, you can crawl. Now move," I said.

He was really testing my patience but the good thing is that I will still kill him.
