“Hahaha. Do you miss your friend that much?” Draco’s voice sounded loud over the phone.
“Why are you with Sapphire’s phone?” Clyde asked. He could tell who was talking just from his voice, he’s been threatened with a gun by that guy.
“Funny question. Since you were the one who led me to her.” Draco chuckled.
“I led you to no one. Where is Sapphire?” Clyde asked.
“She’s in my custody. If you wanna save her, convince her to work for me.” Draco said.
“Why would want to work for you?”
“Because I’m the boss. Convince her or she’ll remain in my custody until she agrees to work for me.” Draco said sarcastically.
“You let her go or I.....”
“Are you threatening me?”
“Let her go. Take me instead.”
“But you’re not the computer genius are you?”
“Please let her go. I’ll convince her.”
“You can come see her tomorrow alone. Any word about this to the police and she’s dead. I don’t have tell you…..”
“I know.”
“Good. We have a deal.” Draco said and hugged up.
Clyde sat on the floor weakly when the call ended and Giulia caressed his shoulders.
“What’s wrong baby?” Giulia asked.
“She’s been kidnapped.”
“What? How?”
“I don’t know. I have to go find her.” He said and tried to stand up but she held him down.
“Stay. If she’s been kidnapped, inform the cops.
“I can’t. It would only make things worse. He’s someone with huge connections to the police.”
“Clyde don’t leave me. You always leave me for her. I’m your girlfriend.” She cried.
“If I don’t find her, do you think you’ll still have the luxuries you have now?! She’s the reason we have all this, she’s the brain and I’m the action. I need her to make money!” He yelled and she flinched.
“Fine! Do what you want! I’m out of here anyway. Go find her. And you’d better find her in two days and bring her back. If you don’t you’ll find another brain or we’ll end.” She said and wore her gown quickly.
“I’m sorry Giulia. I didn’t mean to yell at you.”
“Keep your sorry ass to yourself.” She said and left.
“Fuck!” Clyde cursed.
..
Draco dropped the phone on the desk close to Sapphire. He had ordered his men to keep her in a room in his quarters. He normally kept people he captured in his dungeons but she was a different case. He couldn’t put her there.
“Why don’t you just throw me in your dungeon or something?” She scoffed.
“I need you to work for me not warm my dungeon.” He said coldly.
“He’s not going to come.” She muttered.
“Who? Your partner?”
“He’s not going to come. He knows it’s a waste of time. He knows I won’t work for a killer like you.”
“Like me?” Draco chuckled.
“I will never work for you. I’m a private contractor, I have the right to reject a client.”
“So is that what you’re doing? Rejecting me?”
“Yes.”
“Well we’ll see about that when your friend comes tomorrow.” He said and turned to leave.
“He won’t come.” Sapphire whispered but his ears caught her words.
“What? You’re his partner. Why won’t he come?” He asked and she chuckled.
“He has this crazy girlfriend who hates me for no reason.” She scoffed.
“I see. Let’s see if he wouldn’t come see you tomorrow.” Draco said and left with his phone.
“Fuck!” She cursed as she lay on the bed. It was surprisingly comfortable.
Back in Draco’s room, Derrick walked in holding his gun in his left hand.
“Heard you brought a chick in.” Derrick said.
“She’s not a chick. She’s the best computer freak in Italy.” Draco said.
“You want to use her to get into Pietro’s estate?”
“Yes.”
“Are you sure that’s the only reason?” Derrick smirked.
“Yes. Why else would I bring her?”
“I don’t know. It’s been years since I saw you with a woman, so I was wondering….”
“Well stop wondering.” Draco scoffed.
“It’s been eight years, brother. If you don’t want to find love, find a good woman to keep you warm at least.” Derrick said and he chuckled.
“Look who’s talking about love. Do you love Knife?”
“No. She’s a whore. She’s just my bed warmer. I haven’t found love yet but when I find it, I’ll surely know.” Derrick smiled.
“I’ll take your word for it.” Draco said and he chuckled.
“Believe me, I’ll know.” He smiled.
…
The next day, Clyde was getting ready to go the address Draco texted him when Giulia walked into his apartment unannounced.
“What are you doing here?” He asked.
“Can’t I visit my boyfriend’s house anymore?” She scoffed.
“I didn’t mean it that way. I just…” He sighed.
“I’m just worried.” He continued.
“About who? Sapphire?” She asked jealously.
“Yes. I don’t how I’m going to convince her.” He sighed.
“You’re going to meet her? I’m coming with you.”
“No! He said I should come alone. You can’t come with me.” He said.
“I don’t care. I’m coming with you.” She said and picked her purse which she had dropped earlier.
When Clyde could no longer persuade her to stay behind, he hesitantly went with her.
“It’s a motel.” Giulia whispered when they got to the address Draco directed them to.
“Just don’t say anything when we go in, please.” He said with pleading eyes and she nodded.
….
“Well seems calvary came to the rescue with his girlfriend.” Draco said as he watched them from the room opposite the garage.
“What?” Sapphire asked surprised.
“Let’s hope he can keep her quiet.” Draco muttered.
Clyde entered the room with Giulia who kept clinging to him. She held him tighter when she saw the men with the guns.
“Clyde Salvatore, pleasure to meet you.” Draco said with a huge smirk. He had his back turned on him so they couldn’t see his face.
“Sapphire.” Clyde muttered when he saw her sitting on a couch. Her hands weren’t tied, she doesn’t look one who was kidnapped but he knew well enough that it was a trick. Even if she wasn’t bound, trying to escape would mean the end of her life.
“Hey Clyde.” Sapphire said before glaring hatefully at Giulia who was with him.
“Go on. Talk to her and don’t try anything stupid.” Draco said.
“Let me talk to her myself, baby.” Giulia said and Clyde said.
“Let’s leave the ladies alone.” Draco ordered all his men out including Clyde but he stayed in.
“What do you think you’re doing?” Sapphire asked.
“Making sure Clyde doesn’t talk to you.” Giulia smirked.
“What do you want Giulia?”
“I need to do whatever he wants and save Clyde this whole trouble.”
“You want me to work…………”
“Yes. Do whatever he wants you want to do and save my boyfriend the trouble of coming to see you here again.”
“Is that what you came here to say? Is that why you came with Clyde?”
“Did you want him to come alone so you could seduce him? No way! You’d better do what he wants or I’ll find another partner for Clyde. He’s my boyfriend after all.”
“And no one’s trying to take him from you. You’re self centered. I hope Clyde doesn’t realize what a damage you are to him too late.” Sapphire said pissed off.
“Oh come on Sapphire, just do what the guy asked.”
“You know what, gorilla? Find another partner for Clyde. Don’t ever show your face here, I’ll rather stay with an asshole who kidnapped me even if I’m not going to work for him than spend another second with you.” Sapphire yelled.
“Well I’ve always known you were a bitch.” Giulia said and stood up. “I know what Clyde means to you, I know how long you two have been together and I’m going to make sure that you never get to see him ever again.” She whispered.
“You can hide him in a shelf, I don’t care. I’m done caring.” Sapphire scoffed. “I’m done talking to her. Take me back.” Sapphire said to Draco.
He said something to his men through his earpiece and he turned to face them. Giulia’s mouth was wide open when she was his face.
“Is he even human? Gosh Sapphire’s going to see this beautiful face everyday. Only his face makes me wet.” Giulia said within herself.
“Sapphire please work for him. You know Clyde needs the money and if you’re gone, where would he get money from?” Giulia said pretentiously trying to Get Draco’s attention.
“Find him another partner.” Sapphire said and Draco took her out through the back door.
Few minutes later, Clyde came in alone and Giulia feigned tears.
“What happened?” Clyde asked concerned.
“I hate her. I tried to talk to her and she slut shamed me. I’ve always told you she’s not a good person. How are we not sure if she planned all this with him?” She cried.
“She didn’t. Where is she?” Clyde asked.
“Is that what you’re worried about?” She asked and he nodded.
“He took her out through the back. I guess he’s taking her back to his empire. You don’t have to worry, I’ve talked to her and she promised to do whatever he wants so she could get out of here on time.” She lied.
“Really? Okay.” Clyde said excitedly. “Let’s go then.”
“Yeah let’s go.” She smiled widely.
“Stupid boy. You’re not going to see her for a very long time. She’s going to stay in there for a very long time and by the time he finally releases her, we’re going to be far away from here. I’ll make sure I have you wrapped around my fingers, fool.” She said within herself and smirked evilly.
Draco took Sapphire back to the empire and locked her up in the room he prepared for her. He went to the training ground to supervise the new recruits who were brought in yesterday.“Hey Draco.” Knife called running towards him. His face hardened immediately he saw her and he turned to leave.“Did she just call him by his name?” Pierce, the assistant head analyst asked.“She has got some guts.” Molly, the head analyst scoffed.“Draco.” Knife held his right arm and he pushed her off roughly.“I’ll take the first time as a mistake. The second, stupidity. Touching me, a death wish.” Draco said with red eyes.“I wanted to talk to you about something.” She pouted.“Are you crazy?!” Draco yelled and she gasped.“What’s going on here?” Derrick asked as he walked in and Knife ran to him.“I tried to talk to him and he lashed out…..” She lied.“Boss, that’s a lie. She called Lord Draco by his name and she held him with her filthy hands.” Pierce said.“Baby they’re lying…..”“You did not only d
Sapphire became bored after working on the computers for nearly four hours. She decided to take a stroll around the empire but she discovered that the door was locked from outside. “Stupid boss. Do you think for a genius for nothing?” She quickly got the laptop close by and tapped some keys which opened the door. “Gotcha.” She chuckled.She used the elevator to go the grand floor where some members of the gang were seen walking about.“Who are you?” Knife asked when she bumped into her.“Oh hi, purple bitch.” Sapphire muttered when she saw the all purple tattooed lady before her.“Who are you? Are you a new member of the gang , floor member perhaps?” Knife asked sarcastically. “Actually I’m in a higher rank than you’ll ever be.” Sapphire scoffed.“Oh I see you’re that bitch Draco brought in some days ago…..”“What did you just say?” Sapphire asked walking towards her slowly.“Hey Sapphire.” Molly called excitedly running towards them.“You’re….“Molly. You met me the other day remem
“ You’re making it worst.”“I don’t need you to protect me.” She said and stepped forward.“So you got a feisty mouth too?” Derrick smirked.“So sad of you to just notice. What rules were you talking about?”“She’s a higher member of this gang.”“I don’t remember joining the gang. Was that in our agreement Draco?” “No.” Draco sighed and she laughed.“OH so that means I don’t get to obey any stupid rules I don’t know about. Or did you recruit me without informing me?”“You work here now. It means you’re a part of this team.”“Well I wouldn’t try to put it that way. Cause you might live to regret it.” She said and he gasped.“No one has ever talked back at me.”“I’m glad I’m the first. I’ll keep on getting on your nerves. Since we’re all don making ourselves clear… I won’t touch your whore again if she doesn’t cross my part and you won’t belittle me to being a member of your tiny club.”“Tiny!”“Great we understand each other perfectly. It was nice doing business with you.” She smirked
NEXT DAY, ITALY.Clyde was with Giulia in his apartment. They were both watching a movie when they heard the doorbell ring. Giulia quickly rushed to answer the door and she met a woman on all black at the door. “Who are you?” She asked rudely and the woman scoffed.“Who are you?” The woman asked and pushed her way into the apartment.“Hey you can’t come in here! This is trespassing.” Giulia said after her but she ignored her.“What’s going on?” Clyde asked as he walked in on them.“Boo.” Anne said like a baby.“Anne.” Clyde said shocked as she pulled him in a hug. “Did you miss me baby?” Anne teased and he chuckled.“More than you can imagine.” He said and broke the hug. “You didn’t tell anyone you were coming.”“I didn’t know I was coming.” Anne smiled.“I’m still here.” Giulia coughed behind them.“Clyde honey, take my bag. Be a gentleman.” Anne said and Clyde quickly took the bag from her.“Anne, this is Giulia, my girlfriend.” Clyde introduced and Giulia who was already fuming
“ Hey Pierce. " Molly called after him when she saw him come out of Draco's suite. “ Molly. " He smiled shortly. “ I was looking for you. "“ Oh really?" “ Yes. Have you seen Francesco?" “ That silly tech guy, no. I think Lord Derrick sent him on an errand. " “ Lord Draco needs him." Pierce said and she rolled her eyes. “ He'll be back soon, I guess. “ She muttered. " The new girl...."“ What about her? “ " She's cute. I like her. “ Molly said and he chuckled. " You like every cute girls Molly. One would mistake you for a lesbian. “ He said and she pulled his right ear." Just say you like her asshole. “ She spat. " Like who? She could kill me if we get into a fight. Did you see the way she attacked Knife? “ He scoffed and she let go off his ear. " Just don't use such words on me again or I might pull out your ear this time. “ Molly glared at him. " Yes ma.“ Pierce winked. " Tell Francisco to see me when he's back. “ She said and walked away. " Love her ass. “ He whispere
“ Why do you want Pietro so badly?" Sapphire asked. She had begged Draco for a cup of coffee to help her stay awake.“ He has something that belongs to me?"“ What? Your mother? Gold? Money? Drugs?"“ My child. " He said and she gasped. “ Is that why you recruited me? To find your child?" “ Part of."“ How is he?"“ She? Four." “ Oh.." Sapphire muttered. “ He sure has history with young girls. " She chuckled. “ So I've heard." “ I'll help you. From now on, I'll be fervent since this is involving a child. "“ If it wasn't?"“ I don't work for killers, remember?"“ I know why I hate you but why do you hate me? I mean you barely know. "“ Youre just like my father. A ruthless killer who gets anything he wants. I hate you all." She scoffed. “ I haven't been ruthless. "“ But you are. Ive worked in the underworld too and I've heard a lot about you and your brother. From what I've heard, you're even more ruthless than he is. “ " Hmm..“ He said and stood up. " Goodnight. I expect impr
“ Are you okay now?" Draco asked for the umpteenth time after helping her settle down .“ Yes. It was just a slight cold." She said and he chuckled. “ Really? Maybe you should go back."“ Are you crazy? I almost turned into ice block in that cage. " She said dramatically with her eyes wide open and he laughed.“ I thought it was just a slight cold. “"Well I was being sarcastic." She rolled her eyes. " Just stay away from my brother from now on. “ " Do you think I'm a spy too? “ She asked out of the blue. " What?“ " Your brother called me a traitor. “" Ohh.... “" He said something about my father. “" Why didn't you say you were Fernando Luca's daughter? “" My name says it all. “ " No one has ever seen your face. “" That's because my father hid me carefully. “ She shrugged. " I was once part of the kidnapped kids at Pietro's estate. “" You were? “" That's in the past. I'm feeling light headed."“ I'll leave you to rest." “ Thank you mob boss." She winked. Draco left the
Sapphire was already half an hour late for an appointment with a big shot company. She drove roughly into the drive way and didn’t wait for the car to stop before coming down. “Lady watch it.” A lady screamed as she almost hit her.“ Sorry.” She said as turned off the car. “I’m in a hurry.” She said as she ran into the company’s building.“You’re late.” Clyde said when she met him at the hallway. “ They went into the elevator together and Clyde tapped the top floor.“I know. Did you keep them busy?” She pouted.“You’re lucky you’re the best in the industry. ““I’m glad I could keep them. I still have to pay my boss for the damages.” She sighed.“Why don’t you just quit that job? You have enough to live off for now.” Clyde said thoughtfully and she glared at him. “That job is the only thing keeping the police off my back. Do you think if I wasn’t working as a bartender I wouldn’t have become a major suspect?” She scoffed.“You’re a licensed scientist. No one would suspect you that ea
