The Fool

Chapter Forty-Three

"Maybe she wouldn't have been so easy if you hadn't deprived her of any form of life." Synns comment was followed with a blow to his jaw, causing the sound of the chains rattling to bounce around the room.

"If it wasn't for me, she wouldn't have a life" Levi growled.

"That's what you believe. I get that, but that girl deserves far more than what you've given her," Synn retaliated. Unfortunately, this earned him another punch to the stomach.

"As if you know my own sister better than me, she was merely a game to you," Levi gritted. Synn caught his breath quickly before speaking.

"She was never a fucking game to me. You think you have it all figured out, but you've just fallen in to the fucking lions den. I thought you were smarter than this, " Synn replied lowly with a shortage of breath, his tone mocking as he looked up at him through the hair damp with sweat that had fallen over his eyes. Levi was lived with this. He lunged for Synns throat, grabbing it forcefully. He looked at him for a moment, eyes blazing with anger.

"That's a nice smile you got there." Levi commented smugly. Synn tensed up at his words. By now, he could feel his heart beat rising at the mention of his scars. Levi noticed Synns eyes as they widened slightly with recognition. Levis eyes darted around Synns face, eyeing all the scars that littered his skin.

"Did Daddy give you that?" Levis asked, in a taunting Manor. Synn could hear his heart pounding in his ears at this stage as he forced himself to remain void. But, when Levi cocked his head and gave him a mocking pout, Synns snarled his anger and spat straight in his face. That was all Levi needed to send another blow at Synn. And another. And another. Synn couldn't even feel the pain as his emotions clouded any physical feeling he should have.

Suddenly Levi stopped his blows when his phone started ringing. He stepped away from Synn, breathing heavily, wiping his bloody hands on his suit pants before pulling out his phone and seeing it was Scott calling him.

"What?" He hissed, eager to get back to what he had started as he watched Synn spit out the blood that had formed in his mouth.

"Mr. King, you need to get back here now. There's been an attack, " Scott's frantic voice answered among the faint sound of screams and gunshots that could be heard in the background. Levi felt his face pale at the thought.

"Where's Aurora?" He asked immediately. The second Synn heard that his ears perked up and his heart dropped to his stomach. He didn't know what was going on, but he didn't like the sound of it.

"She's in her room -"

"Make sure she doesn't get hurt. I'm on my way, " Levi replied stiffly before hanging up. He began to walk with intention towards the door.

"Hey! What's going on?" Synn yelled, pulling at the chains around his wrists. Levi ignored him and kept walking, but this only pissed Synn off.

"Levi! What the fuck is going on!?" He roared desperately but he got no reply as Levi left the room and slammed the door shut behind him. Synn began desperately pulling at the chains as angry and worry grew inside him. He could only guess that his worst nightmare had happened. He had pulled his attack, and Synn was not there to protect Aurora. He needed to protect her.

Not long after his continuous failed attempts the door opened. Will stepped inside. He had been placed outside the door this morning when Levi arrived and could hear the sound of metal clanging from the room that was usually quiet. He had been informed on the attack and had a feeling Synn had a fair idea what was happening. Will began walking towards Synn who stopped his attempts to look at him. He was half expecting another blow once Will had reached him, but that never came. He certainly wasn't expecting Will to reach up and unlock his wrists from the chains. Synss arms dropped heavily to his sides. He rubbed his raw wrists as he looked up at Will with confused expression.

"You're the only one that can protect her. Go" Will said calmly. Synn didn't take the time to ponder over it. He legged it out of the room with only one intention on his mind.

To save his Mafia princess.
