Leonid crossed his leg as soon as he took his seat in the chair. Sean was connecting his computer to the television that was resting against the wall. He had received a call from Viktor, and the caller informed him that they were on their way to Yuri's house.Leonid was filled with curiosity as he patiently waited for them to retrieve Yuri's daughter. Anger had a camera in the hairband he was wearing, making it easier to observe their every movement. They had also given him some hairbands to distribute to Amelia and the rest.They hadn't informed Leonid about it; Satan had just given him the information. Satan and Saint had left to deal with Jonas. So far, he hadn't heard a scream from the room where Jonas was being kept. Perhaps the men were questioning him peacefully. Leonid knew Satan wouldn't let Jonas off easily, considering the torture he had endured from him.If Viktor were present, he would likely share his thoughts on what Satan might do to Jonas."It is connected now." Sean'
Satan pulled the sack off Jonas' head. "Hello, Jonas."Jonas's eyes widened, fear flickering in them, before he quickly averted his gaze. He knew Satan wouldn't go easy on him since he had tortured Satan.Saint prepared for the torture, choosing to handle the necessary tools for Jonas. He understood his brother well, knowing he might kill Jonas before they had the chance to question him.Satan's gaze lingered on Jonas's face, a grin spreading across his lips as he observed Jonas's futile attempt to conceal his fear. Too bad, his eyes betrayed him, and fear radiated from them."What do you want?" Jonas questioned. "You can go ahead and kill me or torture me like I did to you. After all, we are the same, and we will always be."Satan nodded as he reached out for a metal clip. "You're right, we are the same, but you said something wrong. We're not actually the same because I am worse than you can imagine."Saint leaned back against the wall and waited. There was a switch next to him, and
The helicopter descended, coming to a halt on the ground. They were 20 miles away from the building; stopping closer would draw attention from the men guiding the little girl.Anger stepped out of the helicopter, assisting Amelia even though she didn't need it. He reminded her of Satan, the one who had always protected her.Emmy and Emma exited the car. Emma scanned the surroundings. The headband remained on their heads; they understood its purpose, which is why they kept it on.Anger provided them with weapons in the helicopter. It was what they would use for protection—knives, blades, and guns. Amelia chose a blade over a gun; she had no idea how to handle a firearm. That was the choice the ladies made since they couldn't use a gun.Ace closed the door, waiting for Viktor. The six of them then headed in the direction of the building, with the E-twins leading."Do you think this is going to go as planned?" Amelia whispered to Viktor, uncertainty lacing her voice.Viktor's gaze shifte
Anger pushed Emmy aside. "Get out of the way."Mila collided with the floor, the knife missing her neck by half an inch. Emmy's eyes widened with surprise as she stared at the girl in front of her. She had not expected Mila to be worse than she had been previously.Amelia slowly backed away from Mila, with Emma next to her. From the look in Mila's eyes, Amelia could tell that she was mentally ill. Or perhaps she was feeling dejected or unwanted. The only way to calm her down was to assure her that everything was going to be alright.Viktor pulled out his gun and aimed it at Mila. "I have a gun; drop the knife."Mila was quiet, and then she croaked into laughter. "You have a gun, but you can't shoot me, but I can stab you."She lunged at Viktor, aiming the knife at his leg. He dove out of the way and knocked the knife from her hands with the base of his gun. The knife fell next to Amelia's feet, and she kicked it away, far enough that they could never find it."Now, do you have a knife
Leonid's head snapped in Reaper's direction as he heard Yuri's voice. He wondered what Yuri had to say to them. Sean, returning from the kitchen with two trays of food, walked faster to listen."Leonid Vanderbilt, I know you have Jonas with you. You'll regret it if you don't let him go," Yuri yelled.Reaper and Leonid exchanged glances, and Leonid nodded for Reaper to answer the call."Who the hell is Jonas?" Reaper asked. "Who are you?"They watched Yuri's expression on the screen; he looked like he was ready to punch them through the phone. Perhaps Jonas meant a lot to him."Don't play dumb! You have him. If you let him go, I won't pester you anymore."With the reaction on his face, the men knew he was lying. He was just saying that to get them to hand over Jonas."What makes you think Jonas is with us? You just gave him away; we had no idea he works with you."Yuri began pacing around. "Don't give me that! Jonas would never betray me."Reaper shrugged. "Okay, we don't have him righ
His father had already bought him. Satan was trying to make sense of what was happening. He had thought that he was going to do whatever he wanted to Jonas, but it seemed that luck was on Jonas' side. Satan folded his arms. "How are you sure that he won't disturb us anymore? He literally kidnapped the ladies and tortured me." The saint stepped closer to put a hand on Satan's shoulder. "Since Boss is letting him off, we should too. Besides, not everything is settled with violence; Yuri already paid for his son's release. We still have his daughter, and he can't do anything about it." Satan wasn't going to listen; he still had a bad feeling about Yuri. "What if his daughter betrays us?" "She went through a lot," Viktor chimed in. "She thought her father abandoned her; I don't think she will be willing to go back to him. She will like it better here." Satan shrugged. "Fine. I will let Jonas go, but you have to release him yourself." Leonid stared at Satan and smiled; he knew Satan w
Leonid stood up to his feet. "I will go get him along with Amelia."He held Amelia's hand and walked out of the living room. The outside was filled with guards like it had been; they made way in the middle for Leonid and Amelia to pass. A private jet was in the middle of the compound, and Shelby was just getting out of it.Lilith was not there with him; Leonid wondered where his mother was. He wondered why his father left his mother and came alone.Two bodyguards came out of the jet with Shelby and walked alongside him as they headed for Leonid, who was approaching him. Shelby had a smile on his face as he got to them. Leonid opened his arms wide to receive his father, but his father pushed his arms back and pulled Amelia into a tight hug."How have you been?" he asked.Amelia's eyes darted to Leonid. "I can't breathe."Shelby let go of her and glanced at Leonid. "I think a shake would be better."He grabbed Leonid by the hand and nudged him in the shoulder. "What about what I was cal
Leonid remembered that they had poisoned Yuri. Sean was right; if they didn't administer the antidote, he would die. Leonid glanced at Sean."Do you have the antidote?" he asked.Sean nodded gently. "Yes, I wouldn't poison someone without having the antidote.""Give it to him," Leonid ordered. "You might as well release Jonas in the process."Sean sighed. "I still think Jonas might cause enough trouble for us."Leonid guessed that too, but he was sure Yuri would take care of Jonas. Besides, he still had Jonas' sister, and they weren't going to do anything stupid.Even though they might do something to hurt him and Amelia, he was going to protect her again, like he had just done. There were a lot of people there to protect her.Viktor watched them. "Well, I think Jonas won't disturb us. We still have his sister, but the only problem is that he might come for her."Leonid glanced at Viktor. "I will only let her make her choices about who she wants to go with. If she chooses to go with h
