The Daughter Of The Mafia Boss
Chapter 21

-I want to know what your intentions are, boy.

Dylan walked with Violet on his back, who kept complaining and hitting him, although he was surprised that she didn't use all her strength to do so. He knew she could hit him more violently, but she still didn't do it. They both went to where they left the car parked, he already had a lot of problems with Violet, then with those thugs who were after who knows who and on top of that he had the suspicious appearance of Emma. That was another inconvenience he would have to deal with.

Her showing up out of the blue just to tell him she wanted to see him. Emma was more than clear that their engagement had been called off long ago, and that she had no intention of resuming anything. He had no choice but to replace her and question her, but in the meantime the proper thing to do was to get rid of Violet. He needed to return her home and avoid dying in the attempt.

-Put me down once and for all, Dylan, don't behave like an old man.

-I'm doing it for your own good, so you'd better get used to the idea that I'm not interested in you.

Liam watches the path Dylan was taking and worried as his car was parked a few miles away from those guys, he looks up from the peephole thinking what to do. He had to get the car out of there, he quickly gets to his feet grabbing his rifle when out of nowhere he hears the sound of the safety of a gun landing right on his head. The boy stands perfectly still, as he can't figure out who the person behind him was.

-Put the gun down," he is ordered and he obeys.

Dylan was walking down the hill when he suddenly stops halfway, something was not right, everything was too quiet. -Dylan, put me down," Violet asks him with a tone of voice that was thinking about it, "I don't think we are alone. -It seems so.

Out of nowhere the noise of a helicopter echoed in that mountain, Dylan looked up in the direction of where it came from, focusing on a small black spot in the distance that was rapidly approaching.

-It's not such a secret place after all.

-That's not my father.

-Then we have company, we must go now.

He puts Violet down and they both run to where the car was parked, but then the helicopter from far away unleashes its fury on their car. They shot the car to pieces, the couple hid under a huge pine tree waiting for the helicopter to pass. -How the hell are we going to leave? -Dylan held Violet's body protectively.

-We should run to the gun room, we'll be safer there.

-Violet, it'll be the first place they'll check.

-Believe me, there's more to it than meets the eye.

Dylan barely agrees, so they make a run for it. When they were inside they both loved each other of all the weapons they could carry, Violet watched Dylan carefully, it was really curious that he knew so much about all that. She was curious to ask him but she didn't think it was the right time.

-All right, we'll go out and take down some idiots.

-I don't think it's wise for you to go out, if something happens to you......

-What? You think my dad would kill you if he died? -Actually that wasn't what I was going to tell her, but it was best to keep her comment to herself and let her believe what she wanted, it was best for both of them.

-Whatever! -He answered coldly, which caused a great shudder in Violet's chest, for a moment she thought he would say something else but he didn't. "You're dead anyway.

-You're already dead anyway," the brunette replies, putting a cartridge into her gun, then smiles at him, "Let's go get them.

Dylan thought she was crazy like her whole family, but for some strange reason he felt like he was attracted to her particular way of being. His life was taking a turn he didn't want.

[...]

-Where are they? -A guy asked Liam, who was kneeling in the middle of the forest, surrounded by a lot of guys dressed in black.

-You expect me to do the job for you, why don't you replace out for yourselves," The guy smiles at them as if mocking them all.

Who had asked him the question looked to the side as if looking for some kind of confirmation, the other guy made a sign and that's when Liam was hit right in the face with a rifle butt. A significant amount of blood spurted from the boy's mouth and he spat it out immediately.

-You're going to have to improve your techniques, mate.

-Where are they? Don't waste my time any more.

-You'll get nothing from me.

While Liam was getting beaten up and his life threatened, the boy hoped and counted that Violet had already left the mountain. He was trying to buy time for her to come down.

But Liam's wishes were far from being fulfilled, as Violet and Dylan circled the mountain, watching the invasion from their vantage point. There were many men surrounding the house. -They activated the motion detectors.

-What about that?

-My father or Reece has to be aware of this by now.

-Well, I hope they get here soon. There's too many of them for the two of us.

-I know...

They both loaded their weapons, looked at each other for a moment and nodded. Violet was still very surprised by Dylan's attitude, that man was no mere professor! If she got out of there alive she would have time to replace out who the hell he was... then they both heard the sound of knocking, they turned in that direction looking with their eyes to see what it was about.

Behind some rocks Violeta could see a group of guys making a kind of circle and in the middle was a person she knew very well.

-Liam! -She whispers trying to take a step but Dylan's hand on her shoulder prevents her from doing it.

-They'll kill you if you come down just like that.

-They'll kill him if I don't come down. He's here because I'm sure my father sent him to keep an eye on me.

-We'll save him, but we'll go together without attracting anyone's attention.

Liam was beaten relentlessly, but still he didn't let his guard down as he knelt there taking blow after blow. With the time that had passed he hoped his sister-in-law was far enough away. Maybe it was time for him to teach those little shitheads a lesson. By the time the guy got tired of hitting him he managed to spit and tried to wake up a bit.

-Do you want more? Or would you rather talk now?

-I'd rather we play some more," Liam smiles.

The guy didn't seem to have much patience for him, so he pulled out his gun and pointed it at Liam's head. As he was wearing a hood you couldn't see his face, but Liam suspected he was really pissed off, it was time to act before he was killed... as the safety is removed from his gun, he thought about attacking, but out of nowhere something happens that leaves him still in place.

The man falls to the ground with a hole in his chest, and followed by him, the rest also fall. Some gave them time to become alert and started shooting in all directions. Suddenly in the middle of the confrontation Violeta positions herself next to him, firing in all directions, but accurately.

-What the hell are you doing here?

-Here, get on your feet and let's get out of here.

The girl held out a gun and helped him to his feet, as he did so several men came up behind her and apparently the young Morgan didn't notice them, but someone else did.

-VIOLETA! -Liam shouts at her as she senses the men approaching, but given her injuries it was impossible for her to shoot in time.

She turns around to defend herself from the guys running towards her, then out of nowhere someone shoots them in a matter of seconds, knocking them to the ground lifeless. She looks in the direction they were shot and realizes that Dylan was the one who did it. -Let's go," she orders watching her.

-What about this one? -Liam ends up getting to his feet.

-That's what I want to know, let's go now.
