Crimson Vendetta

CHAPTER 25

ACE'S POV

I want to kiss those lips again! I know that it's never going to happen again but her lips are so addictive. I closed my suitcase and exited the room. At the same time, Viv walked out of hers.

Our eyes met. She gave me a tight lip smile. She walked towards the elevator and I followed her keeping my distance.

"You find anything?" I asked trying to make small talk. "Umm yeah. Just how much debt he is in and how much money he took from Orson 2. And the rest of it is in Italian so I really can't understand it." She said.

"I will take a look on the plane," I mumbled. "Okay."

We didn't talk much after that. Not on the plane. Not after we landed. Not in the car when I dropped her at home.

Then I saw a message from Sawyer. He sent me an address.

You might wanna come and take a look at this.

I drove towards the address. I am in no mood to deal with drug dealers. I parked my car and walked inside. It was dark and damp in that place. I walked down the stairs and in a few seconds I spotted Sawyer. And two men tied up.

"What is it?" I asked. "I want to show you something!" Sawyer said. I nodded and followed him. I told my men to watch over them.

As we went further inside the room started to get narrower. Then there was a long metal gate with a broken lock on it, "who are they?" i asked as Sawyer opened those gates.

"They are Silas's men." I walked in and It was just dreadful. The sight of dozens of women caged in
like animals. "How long they have been here like this?"

"Around a month." A Month. Seriously! How many women have lost their homes because of him? I don't know how to put out words for this. This is my first time coming across human traffickin. How could I've not know? This is my city. How many women have lost their homes, trafficked to other countries? God! I should've know!

"Free them and make sure they reach their home safely! I will deal with those two." I said. "And update me when all of them are home. Sawyer, I want you personally taking care of these women!" I added.

I walked outside of the door and towards them. All tied up I took out my gun and aimed at one of them. "Sorry Sorry...." The other guy whimpered. The one I was aiming at had a neutral emotion he looked like he already knew what he was getting himself into.

"He trades this woman and earns a lot of money." He cried. "I figured," I mumbled. "He says good quality more money." He mumbled. How can a person be so fucked up!

"Kill us. We are dead anyway." He spat. I didn't think for a second and pulled the trigger. And then aimed at the other one and killed him too. "Send their head to Silas," I said to one of them. He nodded and pulled out his knife.

"Not with a knife! With an axe." I reminded them. He dropped the knife and looked around for an axe. Luckily he found it in the corner.

" Send me a confirmation after you mailed it." I said and walked out of that building. It's a pretty messed up place. This world. I'm no different. I kill people but I know the difference between right and wrong. It's still wrong but it comes with a job.

Suddenly my phone started ringing. It was Owen.

"Yeah?" I said answering it. "You know Viv? She dropped off some files. Also, Can I ask her out pls!" He said. "No!" I answered "And what files?" I added. "It's written in Italian! Dude! And please she became insanely hot since high school and I'm single."

"NO! And send me a picture of the file." I said. "Okay but only if you let me go on a date with her. I'm only a year younger than her."

"Owen I said No! And send me the picture." I huffed. "Alright, But I'm still asking! And you hate her you won't mind!" He said and hung up. I'm going to kill him if he ever goes near her.

Then my phone rang again. It was Max this time. I need a nap. "Hello?" I said answering it. "How did the trip go? Found anything." He asked. "Yeah, a lot of things for starters Orson has a younger brother who is involved just like him," I mentioned casually. "Then Viv and I kissed and pretended like nothing happened. Then we were attacked by Orson's men."

"Hold up You kissed Viv?" He asked. "Yeah but-"

"But You want to pretend it happened!" He took the words out of my mouth. "Yeah, I will talk to you later! I'm driving!" I said and hung up. I can't talk about her right now. If I do then I won't be able to think about anything else and I can't afford that right now.

I drove towards the home. I translated the remaining files, some of them were in Spanish so I left those ,And then went upstairs to my room to take a shower. I checked my schedule and there was nothing much to do so I fell asleep.
