Betrothed To The Mafia Lord novel Chapter 278

Luca’s POV

Now that both my hands were empty at that moment, I lifted both hands and placed them against my face, and then I screamed into it a little, feeling like I needed a little outlet or all the I was starting to feel stabbing into my chest. I couldn’t let loose like I actually wanted to because I was currently in public for one, and also couldn’t afford to have a breakdown at a time like this, when I was supposed to be very strong and emotionless now that I was searching for my baby brother.

He doesn’t know how to defend himself, doesn’t know how to do a fucking thing that involves violence, how was he going to be able to cope with being kidnapped? What if it was someone that had been wanting to do this for a long time, the stupid person might decide to torture him at these just for the fun of it, and the funniest unfunny thing about all these was the fact that Armani was never involved in any of this, and I had a feeling that it was one of my dad’s stupid enemies that might currently be behind this. I started to make my way outside, walking through the hallways and almost taking a wrong turn because the whole damn place was almost confusing seeing as it all looked alike and I wasn’t really paying attention to what I was currently doing at the moment, and my mind was in a really far away place.

I made my way outside, sighting James in the next moment and alongside him stood about five men whose attires gave them out instantly, three out of the five men were air forces officers.

“Hello, Mr Ricci.” The first one who stepped forward immediately started to speak, he was dressed in the uniform of the air forces. I nodded my head once at him, and my hands were currently shoved deeply into my pockets. I didn’t bother to receive his handshake and watched as he slowly retrieved his offered hand after a few seconds.

“Someone kidnapped my brother right here in the airport you’re in charge of.” I started to speak in the next moment, being super aware of the fact that James had come around to stand beside me and his arm was brushing against mine a little.

“We’re not sure of anything yet, nothing is also confirmed yet, we’re going to have to go through some things first before we can come to the conclusion that he was indeed kidnapped,”

“Are you joking with me right now?” I asked the officer almost immediately, blinking at him the next moment.

“I’m sorry sir. That’s the way things are done sir, because we’re not sure if he's indeed kidnapped or not.”

“Are you saying I’m telling a lie?” I asked after a couple or moments, shaking my head and letting out a little scoff.

“I never said that, you’re putting words into my month, sir.”

“What he meant was that it could be that your brother left the airport himself, on his own, it might not be that he’s kidnapped yet.” The second officer decided to chip in at this very moment, and I averted my gaze from the first office to the second one.

I remained quiet after that, allowing all what he had just said to sink into my head, and I started to roll that option around inside of my head. We left the airport together, and I don’t remember him coming outside with us… could it be that he decided to leave the airport on his own when I had gone to speak with some air forces inside their office along with James?

Fuck, Armani… What have you done?

I puffed out a deep breath and turned away from the men, taking a few feet away from the men who were all staring at me in the next moment, feeling as James accompanied me almost immediately.

“Have you tried to reach him via call phone?” James asked after a few seconds of the both of us standing beside each other in silence without doing a thing: I turned my head around instantly to stare at him, blinking a little as his words sank into my head.

That’s true… I haven’t called him yet!

“Why didn’t I think of this? I haven’t called him yet.” I said to James the next moment as I started to fish out my ohhhw from my pocket almost immediately. I started to dial his number, feeling my heart hammering against my chest and ribs and feeling a tiny bit of hope start to rise up inside of my heart.
