"That shouldn't be right" Ella's mother started
I just rolled my eyes
She's going to make a scene
"My husband promised that Ella and Max would keep everything"
I chuckled
"Well he lied" I simply said
Then Alex and Artemis approached me
Anthony was raiding the kitchen for food, snacks anything he could get his hands on
"We have a problem Aurora" he started
This must have been important since he called me by my full name
"What is it" I asked
"The old residents of this house" Alexander started looking over at Ella, Max, Evelyn and Lucila
"They have a warehouse with a bunch of kidnapped kids and by the way you can tell that they've been... we'll you know" He says
He didn't want to say it and I have a good image of what he meant
"Don't say anymore" I told him
It was disgusting, what they've done to those kids
"Alex stay with Anthony here to keep the old residence in check and Artemis you're coming with me"
I ordered them as I walked out signed for some of my people to stay but for most to follow me
"We are saving those kids Arty" I told him
He agreed
"That's what we are going to do darling"
"But I have to ask what do you plan on doing with them?" He asked me
"We'll give them the choice to leave, if they choose to leave, we will take them home and if they don't have a home then we'll find them a good family/foster home" I started
"Those who wish to stay they'll be trained, master a weapon and train them to become the best child assassins the world has ever seen"
"Seems like you have this all planned out" Artemis chucked "But you do have a good idea"
"Of course if we force them to stay they might turn their backs on us and could plan something against us"
I nodded
——
Artemis and our men went through the front
That would be a good ass distraction hopefully enough for me to take the kids to safety
As I walked more through the halls I heard crying
There was two doors and by the look of the warehouse these would be.
"Matteo do whatever it takes to open those goddamn doors and take the kids to safety" I ordered
"Sì signorina" he replied as he shot the door handle and went in
I heard I lot of crying coming from the other room
I tried to open the door you know the normal way but of course it was locked
I shot the door handle and it came open
They had them in cages some in cells
The look they had on there faces when we entered the room was of tear
"Unlock every damn cage, cell and take the to safe now"
That wasn't a request it was a goddamn order I wasn't leaving any kids here
Now the kids were crying even more
"LEAVE US PLEASE"
"NO PLEASE"
"HELP PLEASE"
"PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU"
The kids were screaming that it broke my heart
"Listen kids I'm not going to hurt you" I spoke in a loud voice
My doctor said I couldn't really scream so this was the best I could do
They calmed down a little but many still hesitant
"None of us here are going to hurt you" I spoke "We will get you out of here just please trust us and I know that's probably hard for most of you but I want to help you and get all of you out of here"
After a couple of minutes we managed to get all of them out of the cages and cells
"Take them to our safe house" I ordered
"We killed most of them" Artemis says coming out of the warehouse
"What do you mean most of them"
"Well we didn't kill the leader of this whole operation" Artemis said
"Good" I told him walking back inside of the warehouse
And as promised there the pathetic bitch was tied to a chair
"How pathetic" I spat
"Here you are tied to a chair about to get killed"
"What do you want" he spat
"Straight to the point I see" I smirked "I remember you, you were my fathers right hand or so you were"
"Who ordered for my mother and aunt to get killed!"
He stayed silent for a moment before he talked
"Your father he ordered the attack, he even got one of the American mafias to attack them"
"Which American mafia?" I asked I was already pissed so I need him to answer now or I kill him
"Xavior King helped your father kill your mother and aunt they died begging your father not to harm the children"
I punched him right in the jaw
"They died begging for mercy" He repeated I punched him again
He started to cough up blood but he continued to talk with a sadistic smile
"Your mother and aunt are pathetic"
I had enough he was tormenting me
I pulled out one my daggers and began to stab him repeatedly
"You have no right to talk about my mother nor aunt like that" I spat and he was dead
I walked out and saw Artemis was waiting for me
"Let's go darling" he said putting his hand over my shoulders
He lit a match and handed it me before nodding, I threw it behind me where the whole building was scattered with gasoline
I was covered in blood and god I need to change
"We're going after Xavier King" I spoke as we got into the car
"As you wish Darling" Artemis said smirking "He will be dead by the end of the day"
"No arty" I told him
He toward me with a puzzled look as if he was trying to figure out why
"Me and Anthony kill him personal" I explained "I will destroy everything he has ever done"
