I step in because Eros looks like he’s going to squash this guy.
“Next time make sure you buy a VIP ticket.” I say to him as I make sure he walks out of the club.
“What’s with these jackasses?” Eros frowns.
It takes about thirty minutes to get everyone out. And now the real party can begin.
CHAPTER FIFTEEN

“We’re going to go to the bathroom and then grab a drink. Don’t worry, I’m not going alone. Giovanna’s going with me. Do you want a drink?”
“I’ll go with you, I won’t go into the bathroom.” Tristan chuckles.
We all head towards the bathroom, Giovanna and I go in while Tristan and Grady wait outside.
“You two are adorable.” Giovanna says to me.
“Thank you. I’m a lucky woman. You and Declan are too. I still can’t believe I’ve gotten to meet both of you.”
“Are you a Redhawks fan?”
“Yep. Since the day I was born.” I chuckle.
We wash our hands as I turn to grab some paper towels, I feel someone come up behind me.
“Both of you will come with me. If you scream or make any gestures to your security? I’ll shoot you both.”
I look at Giovanna and she’s staring at whoever’s behind me. I don’t recognize their voice at all and now I’m afraid. I look around for Tristan, he’s going to think this was his fault. But it’s not.
“Do you really think you’re going to get past our security?” Giovanna frowns at him.
“Well, yes. Do you think they’re going to take the chance that either of you could be shot? The wife of the famous Declan O’Reilly? The daughter of the great Enea Mancini? Please. They won’t take the chance that I would shoot you. And believe me, I will.”
I’m trying to figure out how he thinks he’s going to get the two of us out with just him. But that question is answered as another guy comes out of one of the stalls. He’s pointing a gun at us.
“Did you fall asleep in the fucking stall?” the guy behind me snaps at him.
“I was waiting.” He shrugs.
“Remember. Cooperate and you’ll both live. Otherwise your sons will be motherless and you? You’ll just be dead.”
I look at Giovanna, she nods at me. I take that as we’re going to cooperate. But I don’t know what will happen outside. Tristan isn’t going to just let him take me. And I’m guessing Grady won’t either. They push us towards the door.
Giovanna is the first one out, I see Grady and Tristan looking at us. Giovanna shakes her head at Grady. The look he gives her is one that tells me that he knows what she’s saying to him.
“You realize that this place is filled with our men, right?” Tristan says to the men behind us.
“Well your choices are you either let us go with them or we kill them.” He cocks the gun and puts it to my head.
I gasp as a tear falls. When the texts would come in, it scared me. But nothing like this. I never let myself believe that it could come to this. I look at Tristan and mouth ‘I love you’.
Grady steps to the side and watches us walk by him. They get us out the side door and into a car. They both get into the front seat, so of course Giovanna and I both try the door handles.
“You can try to escape. But you won’t get out. Child locks are a great invention.”
I grab Giovanna’s hand and hold tight.
