Zavi's pov.
I drove home with speed after I got the text from an unknown number, I knew it was Andrea telling me something was happening to Nora.
I reached the sitting room and grabbed Will from behind.
"Where is Nora?." I asked, my eyes gradually flaring up with anger.
"She's at Sean's party." He replied, almost immediately.
My heart tightened as I clenched my fists, "You let her go to Sean's party?."
"Nora wouldn't listen to me, she just left.."
I grabbed my gun out of my trouser and pointed it at his face.
Alec quickly blocked my way, "Hey man. It would be fine if we do this some other time. Like right now, Nora needs our help more than anything."
I bit my bottom lip and lowered my gun, I walked out on them quickly.
I drove to the venue where Sean's party was, determined to blow off someone's head. The rage I felt inside me was gradually building up inside me, all I could think of was seeing Nora.
I walked into the music-filled place, passing by many people as my eyes darted around for Nora.
I saw Irene but didn't see Nora anywhere. I grabbed Irene and she turned around, her eyes widened when she saw me.
"Do you see Nora?." I asked.
She pointed at a booth and the chairs over there were empty.
"I saw her here a while ago. Where did she go?."
Her eyes searched through the crowd and none of us saw Nora.
I saw her bodyguard running up to us with Nora's purse.
"Where's my wife?."
"Sir, she felt tipsy and decided to go home, so I left her with Melissa to go get the car ready."
My eyebrows rose, "Who the fuck is Melissa?." I growled.
"Melissa's Sean sister." Irene answered, "She's also Alice's best friend." Alec added, coming closer to us.
Haha, they've got to be kidding me.
I turned to Nora's bodyguard, "You dare let my wife out of your sight?." I growled, walking menacingly towards him, he stepped back, but before he could escape, I fired my bullet at him.
The hall went silent as he dropped dead. I fired four rounds on the ceiling and everyone screamed.
The gunshots echoed loudly around the room as everyone kept their head low in fear of me.
"Where's Sean?." I yelled.
It didn't take long before I saw him raising his head and walking out of the many people surrounding him.
I walked closer and grabbed his collar with rage, "My wife was taken from here by your very own sister. And if anything happens to her, even if nothing happened to her, consider your sibling dead." I pushed him away and he stumbled and fell.
I looked around once more and left.
***
The last time I felt this way was when Matteo took Nora. That time, I didn't think well before wasting everyone who blocked my way. And now, my father took her, the Gambino rebelled, they are fucking dead once I see them, all of them will die by my hands, I promise that.
The anger which flowed through me was completely murderous.
"I don't know what to say, bro. But we've got your back, I think it's time we end your father, this time for good."
Irene walked into the room, with her laptop in her hands.
"I found a location. I found Don Lucien's hideout. "
I turned around.
"Good. We will leave now."
"Can I come?." She suddenly asked.
I turned and looked at Will.
"No, you fucking stay here. You go nowhere, okay." Will told her.
Alec added, "You stay here, it's extremely dangerous out there."
"We don't have the fucking time, let's head out," I stated, feeling restless as I walked downstairs.

Nora's pov.
I felt the tingling sensation as my body finally began to gain control. My head ached and my body felt numb. I didn't know where I was because it was pitch black here and I remembered seeing Alice before blacking out.
I can't believe Melissa spiked my drink and gave me to Alice. I'm going to deal with that bitch if ever I come out of here alive.
I was in a familiar condition, I had been taken too many times, hell I felt worse when my half-brother took me. I was just going to prepare for the worst. Yeah, I was married, I've enjoyed happiness, and I knew it wasn't going to last. I had braced myself to die when I married him, I knew how dangerous his work was.
I lay, curled up against the cement of the floor waiting for the worst to happen, it was Don Lucien's handwork, I knew who wanted to kill me.
Before I was afraid of death, I hated to think I was going to die, but now my only hope is Zavi, as long as he is alive and okay, I am fine wherever I am.
If anything happens to me, Zavi would become a shadow of himself, he would become a monster, it was what that man wanted, he wanted a monster like him to rule, and Zavi wasn't going to be, I made him an angel, so he wanted to kill me so Zavi could become a devil.
"You're going to die, Nora." A familiar voice echoed through the cell. I knew her, it was Alice.
I said nothing, I won't stoop too low to beg, if she wanted to kill me, let her get it done very fast. I'm more than ready to embrace death.
The sound of her footsteps intensified, I pushed my body up the floor and pressed my back to the wall as I sat.
Suddenly, someone flickered up the light, and my eyes dimmed, adjusting to the brightness. My eyes met Don Lucian, an older man standing beside him, and Alice, they were all standing looking down at me, Alice had a smirk pasted by the corner of her lip.
"You…I know it's you." I almost choked out. That man that I had insulted in the dining at his house, was my father-in-law. The father of my husband wants me dead.
He came closer and knelt in front of me, "You made a mistake not walking away when you had the chance to, child. You also made a mistake going ahead to tie the knot after my warning."
I scoffed, "At least, you know I married him, it's a win-win. Even if I die, I will die being your son's wife."
My mouth was a running tap, it never ceases to run out of what to say.
He frowned, "That's you. You speak a lot, that's how you know a weakling." He spat.
He stood straight while I looked up.
"Zavi will kill y'all. He won't spare any of you."
"I don't care, I don't care if he kills us, as long as he's back to his senses, I don't care. That alone makes us mafias. We aren't afraid of death."
I curled my fists, "And I'm not afraid to do this right now."
I sent a surprising blow across his face, "I'm not a weakling, never forget that."
I sent another blow across his face, cutting his side lip. "And this is for being a dick of a father."
He looked at me, with rage and sent a deafening slap which made me fall back to the cold floor.
He went low and withdrew his pistol from his trouser and shoved the cold barrel of the gun to my temple.
"How dare you raise your hand on me?." He growled, his other hand went to my neck and tightened around my neck.
I laughed, "Women are not weaklings, that's to show you what we're capable of."
He squeezed my neck until I was short of breath, my eyelids closing and opening slowly, before I could give up on breathing, he threw me across the room.
I went rolling over as I rested at the feet of Alice, "I won't stoop so low to do this," He turned and began walking towards me, he stopped in front of me and handed the gun to Alice.
"You forget something, father-in-law. The moment you kidnapped me, showed how low and shameless you are." I scoffed, "You think I'm afraid to die? Do what you want and join me in hell, you mentally deranged bastard." I spat.
Alice cocked the gun, pointed it down to my face and I closed my eyes, ready to embrace death.
"I love you, Zavi," I mumbled before I heard her pull the trigger.
