Zach's PoV:
The Choppers moved towards the South, I have been observing the moments and tracking down things. Vehicles and troops have been split.
We have not left a place or clue to search for Irene, my heart has been hell bent on throwing all the negative signs about Irene's safety to me and I kind of don't want to believe in them, though I know what it's predicting could be true owing to Irene's capabilities.
As much as I know her, she is neither a trained fighter nor does she even know self-defense, and even before I could understand from whom I am seeking help, I kept praying to keep her safe.
I have no idea whether God exists or not, but right now that's something I don't care. With every turn my Car is taking, my eyes vigilantly searched for Irene.
I haven't received any news yet.
Matteo has been kept under the observation of Derim, the one who earned a reputation for being the Devil when it comes to the punishments.
Derim has put Matteo on the nails.
"Darren, any developments?" I asked Darren.
"Not yet Capo… But it will be soon" assured Darren.
I know he is tensed too. I am tensed too, if Matteo could backstab me, anyone can.
All it takes is single thought and what if Darren or everyone teams up? Of course, not every time they are going to have the same thoughts and feel the same respect.
I am ready to die, I don't fear death but right now I am experiencing fear, and after many years. The last time I remember being scared is for my father and now I am scared for the well being of the person who is the daughter of my arch rival.
"Capo.. we are getting a call from the Deltas" hissed Elif.
"What is the matter, did you find any clue?" I asked as soon as we picked it up.
"We could find torn pieces of cloth and according to the information these were the pieces of clothing, Irene Ranallo was wearing before she went missing" they spoke.
"Show that to me," I asked.
He displayed the cloth to me before the screen, I shut my eyes and remembered how Irene was wearing the same coloured dress when she asked me to allow her to the plants and how irrationally I screamed at her.
I was embarrassed with the fact that I slept over her and shared the same bed. With Marie giving me enough and unwanted attention, I didn't want any more embarrassment further nor I wanted Irene to think I had a small soft corner for her.
Hence I choose to scream at her. Now I feel absolutely bullshit for doing so.
"Go.. search her. Find her as fast as possible, she is very important. Her well being is important" I alerted them.
"We are on it Boss" they added.
"Call other troops, connect with Alpha and Beta, ask them to round the place, separate the sniffer dogs with the troops" I ordered.
"On it Boss, sending the information" they added.
Darren took after from me.
I am pissed at the fact that for some time I couldn't concentrate on Matteo, he couldn't plan all of this in a day, so he must have had this plan going back from some time.
He was the one who came up with the idea of abducting Iril Ranallo, so he wanted to rule the throne through this way, so there is much more to it. I need to look how far his ideology must have spread and how many people turned his support.
Anyone who must have supported Matteo in this is a potential rival for me. They all must be now agreeing with the Ranallo's. I need to be careful.
I need to see until where the roots are spread. Matteo should be saved, he knows the information now, he will see slow death. He will give me all the information needed because he has to.
The deals, the mess he must have done behind my back, nothing seemed important to me now compared to Irene's safety. As we moved forwards towards the way our troops are searching I hopelessly waited for a miracle to hear that Irene is safe.
Though I know the truth that we are not humans but beasts I wished Matteo would have been a little human towards that girl at least due to her inability to communicate.
The mobiles rang and I picked it up in an instant. My heart raced.
"Capo" his voice seemed low.
"Yes," I breathed.
"We located her" he sounded low.
"How is she?" was the only thing I could ask.
"Sir, we sent the location. You please be here" he didn't answer my question.
"Borag, I am asking you something. How is she?"
"She is alive Boss" was all he answered,
"How did you find her? What was happening?" I barked.
"Sir.. it was" he breathed.
From his condition I could sense things must not be okay.
"She was being molested by the time we reached here Capo and we killed that asshole" Borag sounded low.
We are inhuman, we don't feel a thing. It is rare to see my men emote and here I am seeing them getting emotional for the person of the family who is our common enemy.
"Is she okay?" I managed to ask.
I didn't get any reply from him. He just looked away.
"Please reach here Boss," he said.
My heart clenched… not for a second I could feel sane, molested? How can someone be such an animal? How must Irene have taken that? How do they get the heart to do this for any woman?
When you forcefully try to have sex with a girl when she cries saying No, how can you do that? It's worse than any crime ever.
Our wheels rolled in the direction, my heart is in wrecks, I couldn't understand anything. All I understand is worse has happened to Irene and I can't face that
