Betrothed To The Mafia Lord novel Chapter 277

Luca’s POV

“Where’s Armani?” I asked a frozen James who slowly pulled away from the entrance of the car which he had been about to get into, a few seconds ago. I got down from the car as well, feeling my stomach start to feel really nauseous at that moment. It felt like I was suddenly feeling sick and dizzy, it didn’t help that I had felt like this some time ago before Armani had arrived, when I had been thinking something had happened to the place he boarded.

I turned around to face James, and as soon as I saw the panicked look on his face, I felt everything inside of me drop into my stomach at that very moment.

“Where is he?” I asked James really slowly after a few moments, walking really slowly until I was standing before him. James didn’t know what to say to that and so I turned around and started to scan my eyes around the whole opening in the next moment.

“Where last did you see him?” James asked me as soon as he came to place his hand firmly on my shoulder. I wanted to shake his touch off me in that moment but didn’t feel like I was emotionally strong to do just that.

“He was… didn’t he accompany us outside?” I asked after a couple of moments had passed with me trying to rack my brains earnestly.

“I’m still trying to find out if he did. I’m not sure, I don’t think I remember seeing him coming out of that building with us.” James continued to speak in the next moment and I turned around after a few seconds, focusing my gaze on the supposed building.

“Let’s go back in there then, perhaps he’s still in there?” I said to James, knowing that I was badly wishing and praying for all what I had just said to be the truth and nothing but the truth. My mind just needed a little glimmer of hope, something to be able to grasp onto, something to be able to use in having a little hope– but James didn’t help when he still looked really skeptical, and also swept his gaze over the whole place before starting to speak.

“Let’s head in there then. You can go search some places while I start making some calls, and also alert the people working here that we’re looking for Someone.” James started to speak once again, with his hand on my shoulder, almost pulling me along him for the first before I was finally able to put myself together and make my way into the building on my own– all what James had just said had been able to help me out a little in getting myself back together.

I started to tell myself that there was no way someone could have been able to take him in just a few minutes time… but then I do know that a kidnap can take place in a fleeting second, which was making me feel even more queasy and panicked, as I walked deeper into the building. There are a lot of security cameras located around the whole place, if worse comes to worst, I was going to have to demand a glance through the cameras, to be able to get to the bottom of this.

But then, that’s only if the person who might have done the kidnapping isn’t inside of the building as well, disguised as one of the air forces. The air left my lungs the next moment, as soon as those thoughts started to swirl around in my head and mind, painting out images that were doing nothing but making me get more panicked. It didn’t help that I was already starting to feel guilty at first, some hours ago when I had thought something had happened to the plane which he had boarded. I wasn’t done with letting go of that regret and guilt yet, and then this was happening.

If something happens to him, I wasn’t going to ever be able to forgive myself. Because I had managed to keep him safe all this while, only for me to give him the permission to come back here, and then this was happening – before he had even gotten to meet my wife, before we’ve even managed to leave the freaking airport!
