Chapter 30 - The Russian part 2
Raphael POV
I drop my gun on the floor and lift my hands showing I was disarmed.
“Raphael, what a pleasure, my name is Julius” – he says extending his hand towards me to shake it. I
shake his hand moving my eyes around trying to find my staff and my men, but I can’t see anyone.
“I thought we were meeting tomorrow” – I say
“Yeah, about that, will you miss the men you sent to secure the place?”
My head is spinning. The bastard knew I was sending men there, leaving me with less security. It was
an ambush and I can’t do anything.
From the corner of my eye I see Maria, she is hiding through one of our secret passages, you won’t be
able to see it unless you know it exists. I sight in relief to know that she is safe but I am still wondering
where Olivia could be.
“Shall we have a drink and sit down and talk?” – Julius says and I nod my head.
I start walking towards the bar to grab a bottle of vodka and he laughs, loudly – “where do you think
you are going?”
“I am not taking a drink prepared by your men, so I am fixing myself a drink” – I keep walking and as I
have my back turned to them they can’t see me blinking an eye to Maria that I know could see me
through the mirror. She is inside my safe room behind the bar. And I know she is trying to get hold of
someone on the phone to come and help me.
“Fair enough, but you won’t mind one of my men going with you”
“I don’t give a flying fuck about your men Julius” – I say
I grab the bottle and one glass, I pour some vodka inside and some coke with a couple of ice cubes. I
walk from behind the bar and sit on my sofa.
I cross my legs and sit comfortably looking at Julius that takes a sit in front of me.
“I am surprised you haven’t asked about your girlfriend yet”
“I know you wouldn’t be stupid enough to hurt Olivia” – I say
“You are right, I won’t hurt her, I just took her as a warranty that we can negotiate a treaty”
“You want a treaty with me? Are you fucking out of your damn mind?” – I say taking a large gulp of my
drink.
“No, I am not my father and I don’t have a death wish. I know what he did and I don’t agree with him,
His death was, how am I going to say this, a blessing for me”
I lift one of my eyebrows looking at him and I say nothing. I don’t want to give anything away.
“Well, the man was despicable, and I hated him, I had to do as I was told because he raised me to be
the next leader of the Russian mafia, but I don’t want to do things the same way as he did, I see a
benefit in becoming your ally instead of your enemy”
“What will I get with that?” – I ask taking another sip of my drink and looking around the room at the 5
men pointing guns at me.
“I will help you to get rid of the English, I know they are trying to expand to America” - I have to admit
that, that is music to my ears. The Russians end the English, the Spanish have no problems with me. I
would be able to live a quiet mafia life without enemies.
“So, you will end them and take their territory leaving America in peace? In case I am at war with
someone you will send reinforcement and I will do the same, but there’s one thing, you will need to stop
the human trafficking.”
“That brings me a lot of money” – he says thinking about my proposal.
“I don’t do business with human traffickers” – I say
“Okay, I will have my lawyer get everything on paper and send it over to you”
“I want Olivia back, today” – I say
“I will give you the address of the Hotel she is in and I will allow all of your men to live if they allow me
to leave unharmed”
“No-one will touch you unless I give the order. So you are safe, I want the address”
“She is at the London Rio Hotel”
I grab my phone and call Joseph
“Boss, thank fuck you are alive” - he says
“London Rio Hotel, that’s where Olivia is, get the car ready I am going to get her”
“Sure boss, will be outside the building in one min”
I hang up and get up followed by Julius and his man that now don’t have the guns pointed at me.
I pick up my gun from the floor and put it back on it’s place.
I see them all leave my flat and I close the door running back to the mirror and opening it.
Maria comes out and hugs me.
“Are you okay?”
“I am son, but I got Rod and Carl bleeding here, I patched them up as best as I could but they need to
go to the hospital.”
“Get the doctor here, I need to go get Olivia” – I say planting a kiss on the top of her head and walking
out leaving her to deal with my injured men. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
I get inside the car and I drive like a crazy person. Olivia has been taken from me and I can’t breathe
without her.
I promised to protect her and first was Scott and now Julius.
I made that deal to keep her safe. That was the only way I could be with Olivia without her being in
danger.
After 20 min driving I stop my car in front of the Hotel and I walk to reception where I am greeted by a
blonde girl.
“Mr. Lockwood, please follow me, they are expecting you”
I nod my head and follow the woman towards the lift and she presses the penthouse button. She starts
to get closer to me and licking her lips. I keep my cool, I don’t want to piss off the Russians before
signing the fucking contract and before taking Olivia away from here.
When we arrive her smile drops as I didn’t make a move towards her and she walks towards a double
door and opens it. As I look inside and take my first steps I see Olivia running towards me and throwing
her body against mine. Wrapping her arms around my neck and I lift her up and she wraps her legs
around my waist.
I look around and I recognise one of the Russian men, well one of them is mine. And I smile. She’s
been safe all along and I allow myself to take a deep breath.
“Olivia look at me” – I say
She lifts her head from my neck and looks into my eyes and I smile. She looked scared and tired but I
know she was safe and I think she knows that as well as she wasn’t crying.
“Kiss me woman” – I say and without having to ask twice her lips met mine and my heart was about to
explode. Olivia was safe. My love was safe.
