Taken By The Mafia Lord - Chapter 768

768 Over For The Luciano Family

“Let me go!” Winters shouted and struggled fiercely with the strange people who had taken her. Call it a feeling but she knew they weren’t back in her city anymore considering they have been driving for hours and her bum, no, entire body was sore from the ride.

She had been transported a few times and one of them involved a trunk or so, because she couldn’t brace herself and hit her body hard each time it went through a bump or braked without warning. Not to mention that the driver had not exactly been gentle.

It must be the people that she hacked from, Winters thought. After all, she had offended a lot of people in her line of business and she had more enemies than allies. Finally, one of them must have finally caught up to her – and she knew deep down that nemesis would catch up to her one day.

Winters only wished that Akim was safe, wherever he was. She shouldn’t have agreed to date him knowing deep down that she couldn’t stay around in a place for too long. However, Winters loved him and for once, she thought the universe would have mercy on her especially now she decided to go down the right lane and give her a happy ending. She guessed not.

“I said let me go!” She blindly elbowed the one that was by her right, having felt him. Winters was blindfolded throughout the whole journey and couldn’t see a thing.

But then a punch to the stomach knocked the breath out of her lungs and Winters gasped in pain, hunching over. They didn’t even give her time to recover and dragged her along. It took a while but Winters was relieved when they deposited her roughly on a seat. At least, she could try catching her breath now.

The blindfold was snatched from her face and Winters had to squint her eyes against the blinding sunlight. It took her time to adjust to her surroundings and when she could see clearly, Winters realized that she was seated at a dining table.

It was a long rectangular table and Winters discovered that she was seated at the far end while the head seat was empty; she was the only one in the room.

“I’m sorry you weren’t given the best reception,”

…..

Winter’s head whipped in the direction of the voice and stared at the man coming towards her. She didn’t know him, which made no sense. Why would someone she hadn’t offended kidnap her?

She knew the faces of the people she stole from and the possibility of them coming after her – which was why she stole carefully until now. Perhaps he’s a relative of the victim and has come to avenge his loved one.

“Killing me would only rid my mortal body but it would not give you the vengeance you want,” Winters said all of a sudden causing the man to stop at once.

His brow lifted in surprise, “That’s new,” He said, “Most people in this situation start by asking who I am and what I want from them. You are quite interesting.”

“Does it matter who you are when all of your intentions are the same?”

“That’s quite logical, but not everyone in your situation can possess such an amount of self control in the face of trouble. That’s why I said you are interesting….” He stopped in front of her, and said with a smirk, “Marcel’s brilliant wonder maker.”

Winter’s eyes widened in shock yet narrowed in the next minutes as she scrutinized him.

“Who the hell are you and what do you want with me?”

He smiled widely, “In the end, they still ask the question.”

He took a seat, turning it so he could face her and sat down. Crossing his leg over the other, he revealed to her,

“I’m Richardo Santi and I believe that this is our first time meeting.” He thrust out his hand for a handshake, but Winters only looked at the hand without taking it.

Richardo withdrew his hand, saying as if it was nothing,

“I believe you’re still mad about the way my men treated you and I totally understand. But you should know there is a need for that and the news has to get to Marcel.”

Hearing Marcel’s name from the man’s mouth for the second time sent off warning bells in her head. Something was not right, Winters could tell. Could it be that Richardo was an enemy to Marcel? If that was the case, then she was toast. Winters was in unknown territory and she didn’t exactly have a plan B.

Winters opened her mouth to question her once again when a voice spoke, coming in their direction,

“Richardo, where are you and what’s -” Macy trailed off when she came into the dinning, her eyes widening when they connected with Winter’s.

“Y-You!” Winters recognized her right away. She should have known that the bitch would betray Marcel.

Closing her eyes, Macy cursed under her breath. Damn it.

Watching their interactions, Richardo stood up and leaned against the table, facing the both of them,

“Oh, I see, the both of you finally meet.” He smirked knowingly.

Folding her arms across her chest,

Macy faced him with an unsmiling face, “What do you think you’re doing? She knows no face, which means my identity is not safe anymore!”

“Oh come on, Macy, we both know that it’s only a matter of time before your cover gets blown anyway. So think of this as a timely warning and get away from there now that you still can.”

Macy expressions changed, was that supposed to pacify her? This was not how everything was supposed to go. Richardo was taking things too far – he even involved Winters now and revealed her involvement before the time was due.

“Also, don’t you think that my plan is brilliant? If Marcel comes for her, he dies. And if he doesn’t, his little wonder maker would have no choice but to reveal his criminal dealings to the FBI with evidence and boom, it’s a much worse fate because the Luciano family would be over once and for all. ” He cackled villainously while the blood drained from the faces of both women.
