Taken By The Mafia Lord

303 Steal Arianna Back

Elijah was able to get Cindy off his tail. How? You might ask. Well, he told her that he needed to concentrate on his career and made a written agreement to date her when she clocks twenty.

Well, Elijah was not scared of that agreement coming to bite him in the ass later knowing that he would be out of this household before she even clocks nineteen.

Once he gets close enough to Marcel, he would then snatch Arianna right under his nose and back to his arms where she belongs. He could already see the crestfallen look on Marcel’s face the day he would defeat him.

Elijah planned to break Marcel’s spirit in such a way that he would never forget his name, the phantom ghost. He would be his nemesis and a legend he – Marcel – couldn’t overthrow.

Elijah was currently back from the boot camp and slid the key into the hole when he noticed something was wrong. Someone had come in before him.

Aside from that, he could feel eyes watching him from the outside and he had no doubt that the ones watching him now were from the Luciano family.

He risked his exposure during his stay at the boot camp and now, Adele suspected him more than ever. He would have to do something about that – something that doesn’t involves killing her and making it seem like their rival did it.

Right now, Adele was crutial to his plans and he was going to admit it, her talent was too good to be wasted. Yes, even a cruel mercenary like him had a soft spot for women like every other male out there.

However, even upon knowing that he was being watched, Elijah behaved naturally and pretended not to notice them. His current residence was a block apartment and he went in without looking back.

.....

But as harmless as Elijah looked when he was outside, his expression hardened when he went in and he quietly locked the door from the inside. Whoever broke into his room was not leaving this place alive.

For someone who had an intruder, probably a killer in his apartment, Elijah didn’t even swoop into a search to ascertain where the killer was hiding. He simply went into the living room and plopped down on the sofa with a loud exhausted sigh. He was so tired.

With his hand over his face, Elijah gradually fell into a deep sleep or so the person who intruded into his house was thinking because he finally came out of his hiding place.

Unfortunately, the intruder, now turned assassin, who had a knife with him, stepped lightly and slowly in the direction where Elijah was lying.

As soon as he got there, the assassin lifted his blade and brought it down to stab him. However, Elijah swiftly stood up at the last minute and he ended up stabbing it into the armrest.

Elijah punched the assassin in the face but he dodged it and only managed to kick the knife away from the reach of the both of them. He was about to fight the assassin off when the man in question took his mask off.

“I should have known it was you,” Elijah sighed, “You are the only one who does a good job of clinging to me like glue. Does my brother have nothing to do these days you no longer serve him?”

The assassin was no other than his brother’s assistant, Jason. Yeah, the man caught him again. Not that, he wasn’t expecting it. Jason was his teacher and knows his tactics.

“Why? Who were you expecting? Your girlfriend?” He teased him intentionally.

“Sorry, but my girlfriend goes through the front door and does not break through into my apartment like some thief,” Elijah taunted him while heading to the fridge where he brought out two cans of beer and tossed one to Jason who caught it nicely and opened the other for himself, taking a drink.

“What happened to your face? You let someone defeat you in a fight? Shame on you, all my lessons must have been for nothing,” Jason teased him. He knew whatever happened, Elijah let the person win.

“To win is to lose and to lose is to win,” Elijah didn’t make sense at all but he said it to keep the conversation going before they started another fight that would end up with him seeking another safe house. He knew what his brother’s assistant was here for.

“What are you honestly doing here, Elijah?” Jason asked him after another sip from the can, “I have been watching you and it doesn’t make sense at all. Why did you infiltrate the Luciano family, you do know you’re playing a dangerous game right now?”

But Elijah looked at him with a grin, “If I told you, would you help me or try to drag me home again? And to be honest, this is my last hiding place and there are Luciano people right outside my door, keeping a watch on my movement. Whatever you plan to do tonight, you would only end up revealing my identity,” He told him seriously.

“Try me,” Jason urged him.

Seeing his willingness to listen, Elijah lowered his guard, just a little, and sat down on the sofa.

Jason was sitting on the armrest as he began, “Honestly, it’s just like every typical story out there. I fell in love with a fair maiden, however, as you know, she got the attention of my enemies. And now, I’ve got to get her back.”

“You’re sure, she’s the one?” Jason asked. Although the young master was not a player, he has had many women over the years. He wanted to know if the woman was worth the trouble.

“As sure as hell. There’s no one I would want to spend the rest of my days with except her.” Elijah confessed.

Jason sighed and said, ” Madam Natalie is back,”

He nodded in understanding, “No wonder brother wants me back.”

“You know how much she cares about you,” Jason added, “All of you,”

“I know, and I’ll come to see her when I’m done with everything. So tell me, are you helping me or not?” Elijah asked him.

“Where do I start?” .
