Entangled With The Mafia Lord

Auden’s POV

Did he just say Lucas? Lucas?

“Fucking say something, Lucas! Or help me the fuck up.” The guy moaned out again and their said leader crouched down beside him and touched his throat with his fingers as if inspecting the said broken throat.

“You’re not going to be standing up, you’re not going to be leaving here either.” The leader said lowly to the dude from Xobra but I heard just fine. I threw a glance at Tristan whose eyes were almost bulging out of his eye sockets, our eyes locked for a moment before we both glanced away, there was no time for those at this point.

“What? Help me up, man!” The dude who I thought was Xobra’s leader said harshly, a ting of terror obvious in his voice.

“I asked you to let me handle all the talking, I asked you to leave Auden the fuck and not edge him until we at least get what we came here for, but you forget all those things the moment we walked in here, now look at you… you’ve always been the one to go against orders and do exactly what you want, I knew from the start anyway, I just kept you around for a reason because you’re a really sick fuck, just the perfect thing I need for an assistant.” The leader guy said to a currency wide eyed sick dude whom I still don’t know the name of.

“No, no. We signed a contract, you promised. You can’t just push me away from the plan when we’re almost about to finally get it, you know you need me…” The guy continued to frantically say but trailed off when the leader suddenly shook his head and pushed to his feet.

“Wait for me in hell brother,” The leader said coldly as he shot the guy three times in his chest, I watched as the xobra guy’s eyes blew wild in surprise before he got shot.

I felt like spitting on his now dead body in disgust, God forbid I feel any ounce of pity for people like this. I turned my eyes away from the blood already flowing slowly from beneath his body.

The leader turned around and whispered something to the third who nodded his head and went back to keeping any eye on Tristan who was currently standing beside me.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Lucas.” Tristan spat out beside me and I glanced at his but he didn’t even notice my gaze, his whole focus was on the leader guy who was currently tapping the gun in his thigh.

We both watched as he inserted his gun into his pocket and reached behind him to pull the mask off and I blinked, the breath hitching in my throat before coming out of my mouth in a quiet pant as Lucas’ familiar face stared at Tristan and I.

“Yeah, Tris?” He answered quietly, not a hint of his former self visible, not teasing glances and jabbing words. The Lucas staring back at me was way different from the one I’ve known for years, way different from the guy I considered as family. The one staring at us appeared really cold and way different from the one I trusted completely.

“Fuck you, man.” Tristan muttered and Lucas only laughed before coming to stand before us.

“I’m guessing you were the one who left the note pinned with a knife and the other one upstairs in the house.” I said flatly as it all hit me, it all finally made sense. Lucas only snorted with a raised eyebrow. “Of course that was me, who else could be that smart?”

“And you were also the one who sent those guys to come demand of Nicole from me for their boss the day you were driving Aria and I passed shortcuts after I almost got shot at, at the office.” I continued calmly.

“That was actually the people I was working with, they decided to plan without me and attack you at the office before also tailing after us stupidly when I was busy driving you around, stupid bunch of people, I’ve ended them already.” He scoffed offhandedly, his gaze never leaving mine. I blinked once before glancing sideways, uncontrollable rage swelling from the depth of my stomach. I squeezed my hands tight to bring a little bit of control over my brains.

“And to think I was worried about you yesterday, not knowing you were the one behind everything from the start? Wow. Fuck you, man.” Tristan spat out angrily and Lucas placed a hand on his shoulder which Tristan immediately shrug off and at the same time shoved angrily at Lucas’s chest but Lucas only stumbled, a small sick laugh bubbling out of his mouth.

The Lucas staring back at us looked unstable and sick in the head… just why haven’t I seen this coming?

Come to think of it, there’s been telling signs although.

Fuck.

Now that it has been shoved directly in my face, everything was starting to connect to each other, starting from the night we went to get Nicolas, to how long we waited for him to come get us, down to when he completely disappeared until I called him, and after returning from Pedro’s place, he disappeared completely again.

“You’re not saying anything, Auden?” Lucas asked around a laugh and I kept on staring blankly at him without saying a word, hearing him call my name sounded weird as fuck. I was already used to his calling me ‘Boss’ only for him to call me my name to my face while clearly laughing at our expenses.

“Well, since you’re decided to go dumb, I’m gonna ask one more time. Where the fuck is the real diamond?”

I shook my head slowly, my fingers tightening into fists at my side, “I don’t have it with me.”

“Liar, you fucker. You didn’t leave it back at home and at the safe house because we’ve looked everywhere to no avail, which means it has got to be with you undoubtedly, so where the hell is it?”

“It’s seriously not here.” I replied and Lucas laughed for a few seconds before gesturing at his remaining partner who nodded and sprinted up the stairs to my horror.

“What the hell are you doing, Lucas? Why is he going upstairs?” I screamed at Lucas as I made to go after the man but the feeling of a gun barrel pressing into the back of my head stopped me.

“Oh, so now you can talk? He’s going to go bring your babies down here. I wonder how you and my homie, Tristan, would feel if my partner y’know, take them one by one before you guys, and believe me when I say that it won’t be pretty one bit.” Lucas’ cold voice cut into the haze surrounding my brains and I turned back around until I was staring into his eyes, I was taller than Lucas which made me tower over him.

But he was the one with the weapon here, which has automatically made him twice as tall than I am.
