Isabella's POV
Marko's eyes blaze with anger after the mocking tone I use.
"Even if you hide me under the ocean, my Sydney will always find me." I taunt enjoying it. "Do you know why?" Marko's eyes don't leave mine but I notice him clenching his fists from the corner of my eye. "I am his. And he'll always destroy whoever touches what's his."
The gunshots increase and become louder. Marko screams in frustration and I smirk. "He'll get you Marko Russo. And I'll be the one to end you as he holds you down." His eyes shift to my belly and I see a smirk form in his mouth.
"I see the water Ringo gave you is working." I furrow my eyebrows in confusion until.
"What water? And who's Ringo?" I question. There's no water I was given.
"The drinking water that you ate with your 'lunch'." Marko clarifies and makes a sign of quotation marks on the word lunch but I start laughing.
"You mean the water he poured on me?"
"WHAT? You didn't drink it?" I shake my head no and laugh. "He said she drank the whole bottle." He says to himself but I catch the words.
"Ah. The taste of betrayal. How is it?" I mock but he comes and slaps me hard. Ouch! Could've just told me it hurt rather than showing me. I spit out the saliva mixed with blood in disgust. 'Now I have an aching cheek too.' I groan internally.
He yanks me and opens the chain around my wrist. "Let's get going! " He takes his phone and calls someone. "il cazzo di elicottero è qui?" (Is the fucking helicopter here?) He stops talking and eyes me. "Porta Ringo al quartier generale. È una talpa." (Get Ringo to headquarters. He's a mole.)
I don't understand anything but his grip on my hand tightens making me wince. My tummy is now hurting and I'm so worried about my baby. Oh Sydney. Where are you?
"Hurry up, fucking bitch." Marko sneers and moves even faster.
"I can't." I want to tell him my tummy hurts but I don't. He might take it as an advantage. He moves the rusty bed to another side revealing an old door on the ground. "Brilliant." I praise mentally. We go through the secret door to the underground. I take longer since I'm pregnant and in pain.
"Fucking slow down Marko. I'm pregnant." I hiss when he pulls me roughly but of course, he doesn't care. The narrow underground route is so dark and smelly. I wonder how he's moving so fast without a flashlight on.
"I'm tired." Can't he see that? I'm struggling here. We finally reach a locked door. Marko lets go off my hand to take out what I assume are keys. Should I fight him now since I'm free? But my baby... Before I finish my thought my hand is yanked roughly again by his stiff and rough hands. Sydney is a Mafia lord but still has soft hands. I'm so tempted to ask Marko if he works at the construction site. Who knows. He might be a builder? But uses his bare hands without something to protect them to carry the stones.
'No, no, no don't think of how he got those bad hands Isabella. Focus.' I scold myself. we climb up a lot of stairs for about five minutes and end up behind another door. I hear something like blades slashing through the air on the other side the door.
Marko opens the door with another key and pulls me to follow him. Oh no! We're going into a helicopter. Looks like I'm flying with Marko. "Where are you Sydney?" I mutter under my breath as I rub my belly soothingly with my free hand to release some pain.
Marko orders something in Italian and turns to me aggressively. "Get inside. No funny business." He tells me sternly.
"You're funny." I retort but he only moves aside and a large man covered in tattoos takes me. "Don't fucking touch me." I hiss.
