These men are all huge, terrifying, ruthless creatures and seeing them so vulnerable, especially Lev, is breaking my fucking heart all while my best friend, my literal other half, is missing.
“Come on Lev, let the doctors have more room.” I say as I pull on his shoulders to get him away and give the doctors space to keep working on Dragna.
He releases Dragna’s hand and stands to his full height so quickly I have to step back from him so I don’t fall over.
“FUCK!!!” He screams like caged animal and the remnants of my heart left in tact shatter into pieces.
“Lev please, come over here. Just give them space.” I tell him, grabbing his hand and pulling him to the other side of the room.
He walks with me, scrubbing his free hand over his head while he squeezes my hand and looks down at me, tears streaming down his face.
“Ivan I need an update on Willow. Right fucking now.” He says as he releases my hand and strides towards a group of their men.
I had gotten up from the bed I’m sharing with Gigi and Mia to get a cup of tea because I couldn’t sleep and a minute laterthe house was in utter chaos because a tracker had gone off on Nikolai’s laptop saying Dragna’s vehicle had been damaged.
Lev raced to his car with some of the other men and a doctor while telling me to stay put. I waited anxiously for a few minutes before going and waking the girls up and telling them something has happened. They are currently back upstairs waiting for updates but I couldn’t stay away no matter how sick I feel and heartbroken I am.
I’ll never get the image out of my head seeing Lev return with Dragna and seeing the man who always looked like nothing would be able to take him down, receiving CPR and having doctors all around him working to revive him and stop the bleeding.
This is all so fucking crazy. What kind of life is this where you have round the clock doctors on hand and you need a top of the range OR in the houses you own incase something goes wrong because you can’t go to a normal hospital.
I hate this.
I fucking hate it.
Willow was nowhere to be seen where they found Dragna, it’s as if she just vanished only leaving behind her shoes and her necklace which one of the guys found just down from Dragna’s car.
Someone has taken her and they’ve killed Dragna too unless a complete miracle happens and he somehow survives this. Fuck, I’m going to throw up.
I look across the room right to where Lev is standing talking about who could possibly have Willow and at the mention of her name coming from their mouths, I vomit everywhere. Lev rushes to me and lowers me to the ground, holding my hair back and smoothing a hand down my spine.
“Ali cat, it’s okay. Get it all out, it’s okay. I’m here and I fucking swear to you we’re going to find her okay? And nobodywill ever take her from you again when we get her back.” He cries into my shoulder as he speaks.
This man who everyone is so terrified of, who is a giant, who kills people, tortures people and fights in a cage for a living, he’s crying with me over the two people we love most in the world while he repeats his words about finding Willow over and over again, trying to convince himself as much as he is trying to convince me.
“Lev we have an update.”
I look up from the where Lev’s lay me down on the floor to where Mikhail stands over us with his phone out.
“It’s the Italians. They have Willow.”
No.
My dad?
My own father… he has Willow? He did this to Dragna? My breathing turns rapid and I look around at the men’s faces in disbelief, not believing my dad would do this.
I try to speak, to scream, to do anything, but all I feel is bile rising up my throat and I vomit again before everything goes black.
