Hector’s POV

As soon as we landed, Dorian had organised transport from a contact that he had in Libya. Within minutes we were being transported by a convoy of cars to Moretti’s hide out in Tripoli.

I looked at Xander who seemed to be checking his weapons every five minutes. “We are going to get her back this time Xander. He’s not expecting us at all.” I assured him.

“I won’t be satisfied until Soraya is back at home and Moretti is in a deep dark hole, bleeding out every day for the rest of his life.

“Dorian says that Moretti and his entourage arrived about 30 minutes ago. They had with them two women and a third woman joined them.”

“We have to do this quickly and as quietly as possible and be out of here. We don’t own the local authorities. Xander said.

“Don’t worry about that, Dorian has taken care of that. They will look the other way and report this as a drug related crime with no witnesses.” I informed him. “Dorian is getting very good at this, he is cultivating very good alliances. Remember a few years ago when we were saving him every other month because he would get himself in a bind.” I tried to crack a joke but Xander was too tense.

Xander’s phone rang and he put it on loud speaker. “There’s a private entrance around the back of the building. Three guards, a silencer should take care of them. I have two snipers on the roof of the building across from where Moretti is incase he thinks he can get away again. My men are in position. How far are you?”

“We are ten minutes away, wait for my signal Dorian, don’t fire until I get there.” I instructed.

“Copy that.” He hung up.

Soraya’s POV.

My head was pounding and my vision was blurry. I could hear a woman yelling and Moretti laughing like a psychopath. I tried to focus my vision. I was laying on a bed with my hands still cuffed. Sofija was nowhere near me. I could remember what had happened so that probably meant I didn’t have a concussion even though my head hurt like crazy.

I tried to sit up but my head felt so heavy and it was a little hard to do so with my hands behind my back. The yelling woman’s voice sounded so familiar, it wasn’t Sofija’s. But I had heard it before, I couldn’t remember where.

“You lying son of a b***h! You told me you would care for me and that we were together!” The voice cried out. “I am not going to be a w***e for your your friends, I would rather go back to California.

It was coming from outside this room I was in.

“How are you going to get there? You belong to me now, you sold your soul to me sweetheart and I own you now.” Moretti was enjoying himself. His tone was so cocky but he was laughing arrogantly as well. “If I say you sleep with these men then you do it now put on that dress.”

I heard someone walk into the room, luckily I was facing the opposite direction of the door. I closed my eyes and pretended that I was still passed out.

“She’s still passed out.” I could hear Nikolaj’s voice but he wasn’t alone.

“The boss says if she’s not up in the next three hours or so then we might have to toss her. He’s planning on putting a bullet in her and just dumping her body somewhere.” This other man said.

My b***d ran cold. How long would it take for Xander to replace me this time, I was running out of time.

“You think she’s brain dead or something? I mean I hit her pretty hard. Way harder than I meant to.” Nikolaj sounded very concerned it was actually shocking.

“What’s wrong with you man, so now you are growing a conscience of some sort? She’s just another bitch.” The other man commented.

“A nice b***h, she’s not like the other broads we take care off. You know if I had a hon, I’d want her to be like this one. Pretty and tough.”

“You are acting funny and the boss better not hear you say that.” His friend chastised him.

“Anyway if I were her I’d also not wake up, I mean if she does we are going to drug her up and put her on a bed for those men to lay with her.” He said.

I didn’t expect for anyone to touch me, I felt a cold hand caress my cheek and I flinched. I opened my eyes Nikolaj was looking at me.

“Welcome back to the land of the living, I was starting to think you were brain dead.” He looked disappointed but also relieved. He walked up to a bag that was on a corner table and took out a dress. He threw it at me. “Put this on cupcake, don’t make me drug you and strip you myself. You don’t need shoes.” He took off the handcuffs.

He left the room with the other man. Tears started to run down my face. ‘Xander? I put up a fight as long as I could. Where are you?’ I couldn’t stop the tears from running down my face.

I would rather he beat me up to death, I would not put on that dress willingly. I would not serve myself up to those men willingly.

A few moments later Sofija was pushed into the room with another woman, it was Leticia. They both had on short revealing dresses. Sofija looked like she had been drugged because she was smiling weirdly and she could barely stand up straight. Leticia looked at me and had the gall to look embarrassed. She had been the first one to betray Xander by running to Moretti.

I laughed out loud. “This is so pitiful. You put yourself in this situation. How does that saying go? Cutting off ones nose to spite the face? I wiped my tears as I laughed. “Gosh Leticia! Isn’t this funny?”

“Shut up!! I don’t know why you are laughing because those men are about to force themselves on us.” She yelled.

“Cupcake I said put on the dress!” Nikolaj came back and yelled out.

“You are going to have to drug me.” I continued laughing.

“She’s crazy, she’s lost her mind” Leticia stammered.

He left then a few minutes later he came back with a syringe that had some liquid in it and walked up to me.

I ducked as he extended his hand to grab me. “You are irritating me cupcake.”

“Stop calling me that! I’m not your cupcake.” I hissed at him.

He got ahold of me and managed to inject me with the liquid. Before I knew it my body was slumping to the ground and I didn’t feel like myself.

Xander’s POV

As soon as I gave the signal, the snipers silently shot the three men by the entrance. We went into the building, charging at anyone that came towards us. We used silencers as we shot our way in. This place looked like it used to be a club, it was three stories high and Dorian had informed us that they were probably holding the woman on the second floor where the VIP rooms used to be.

As the bodies of Moretti’s men fell to the ground I searched the place thoroughly with Hector right next to me. We went up the stairs with more men noticing us and running down to shoot at us. That’s when the commotion started. I let Hector and the team take care of them as I ran up the stairs shooting anyone in my way.

There was a door a few steps away from the stairs, it seemed that the place was sound proof, when I opened it, that’s when everyone inside heard the commotion coming from down stairs. There were seven men in the room including Moretti and they all were circled around what looked like a king size bed with three women on it. They looked shocked when they saw me and fearful when they registered what was going on downstairs.

The women looked like they were incoherent. Soraya was one of those women. They were dressed in skimpy dresses.

Hector came in and stood next to me.

“If you know what’s good for you, you will step away from that bed.” I snarled at them.

Moretti quickly yanked Soraya off the bed and held her up in front of him and then suddenly he pulled out a knife from his pocket. He placed it on her throat.

“You come any closer and I will slit her throat. I swear I will.” Moretti growled at us. Soraya’s head lolled forward. The bastards had drugged her. She looked so disorientated, she could barely focus on anything.

“I told you I would replace you Moretti, I told you what I’d do to you if you dared defile my wife.” The other men looked shocked and frightened. It was like it was only registering in their minds at that point who I was.

“You don’t scare me Adamos.” He smiled.

“It’s easy for you to say that when you have a helpless woman to shield you. This is why I could never do business with you, a big talker but really you are a coward. Anyway I don’t want to kill you, I have a big surprise for you. It’s back in Greece.” I smiled back at him.

I noticed Sofija slowly move to a sitting position, she was drugged too but she wasn’t as bad as Soraya.

She had tears on her face as she looked at me. She got off the bed, stumbling a bit. She stood next to Moretti. He smiled. “Looks like your sister is still on my side.” He chuckled. But as he chuckled she launched herself at him and Soraya fell to the bed. Hector started to shoot at the the men there. I followed suit. We each shot three in succession. I was about to turn my attention to Moretti when I noticed Sofija’s body slump to the ground.

I ran towards Soraya as Moretti backed away. Hector held the gun at him. He shot him on the leg and he fell to his knees, the knife falling out of his hand, Hector went forward and knocked him out by hitting him on the head with the gun. He ran towards Sofija as I was about to carry Soraya. A man rushed into the room and fired some shots, two landed on the woman who was next to Soraya on the bed and the other hit me on my chest as I tried to cover Soraya. I g*****d out.

Dorian came in and shot the man from behind and he slumped over and fell to the ground.

“We need to get you out of here, Sofija doesn’t look too good, I think he might have punctured one of her organs or something. Hector yelled. I’m going to try and stabilise her. Dorian make sure Xander doesn’t bleed out.” I looked around me, that’s when I noticed that the third woman was Leticia. The bullets had landed on her head and chest. There was no way that she survived that.

“Soraya, Angel I’m here.” I g*****d. “I’m fine, let’s get her out of here. I carried her and walked out.

A few moments later, we were headed to the choppers that were waiting to take us back to Greece. Hector managed to stabilise Sofija for a bit. “I’m sorry.” She said as tears ran down her cheeks. “I’m truly sorry Xander.” I ignored her.

I wanted to make sure Soraya was fine, that’s all I wanted. To get her home.
