Love Wins Over Lust

Chapter 23

Liam was going insane when he couldn't find any news about Aurora.

"How is that possible, they didn't vanish in the air!" He snarled at his man.

Ryan came to Liam. "You need to think with a clear mind."

"I can't keep thinking with a clear mind, my wife is with him. Anything could happen to her, she is alone

unaware of the reality of our world. What do you think will happen to her and I couldn't even find out

who this masked man is? Where is he, I can't find out anything? "

Ralph walked out of the room. He knew Liam would not allow him to screw his plan but he had to try

one last time. For the sake of love and friendship.

He called Alexandrio once again and to his surprise he accepted the call at the first ring. "Alexandrio,

Do us a favour and ask Dmitry to help us in catching the masked man. He kidnapped Aurora. Liam is

losing his mind. If anything happened to Aurora he would not think about any relation or anything…"

Alexander looked at his wife who was sitting beside him. He knew if she came to know about Aurora,

she would not be able to handle it. She loves Aurora like a sister. "Alexandrio, you know Liam will never

forgive Dmitry and the revenge will be on him."

Alexandrio closed his eyes. Ralph was telling the truth. Liam would not see right and wrong when it

comes to revenge. "I will be there soon and then I will talk to Dmitry," he sighed. "Ralph, I am not

promising anything but I will try."

"That's all we can do, Akexandrio."

Ralph was about to end the call but stiffened when a hand clasped his shoulder. He turned and found

Liam standing there, his eyes dark and calculative. "Mute," he mouthed.

Ralph did what he asked and looked at him. "Ask him where he is."

Alexandrio was still talking over the phone. He could feel the vibrations of it. Ralph shook his head but

he knew nothing he would say right now was going to work on Liam.

"Ask him!"

Ralph unmuted the call. "Alexandrio, the city is not safe. The attack on Liam and now Aurora. I am

sending the security, tell me where you are? We have received a warning from the masked man that he

will hurt everyone related to us."

"I am at Allan road."

Ralph closed his eyes as he watched Liam pulling his phone out and calling his men. He ended the call

and blocked Alexandrio's number. "Sorry pal but my hands are tied."

Liam ordered his man the things he wanted them to do. He went to the balcony of his penthouse and

gripped the railings tightly. He was feeling a heaviness in his chest he had never felt before. Friendship,

love, emotions. He never cared about them but she changed everything. She changed him.

Alexandrio's friend when his eyes went to the cars behind him. All were black, there was something

fishy about them. He was a trained mafia soldier, he understood these tactics far too well. "Damn!" He

punched the steering wheel in anger. Emily jumped in her seat seeing his actions.

"Xandro?"

"Sweetheart, please don't speak for some time," he said and increased the speed of his car. A bullet hit

the rear mirror breaking it making Emily scream. "Xandrio what the hell is all this?"

Alexandrio glanced at the mirror to see the number of cars. Three in total and bullets were fired from

every one of them. Emily cried in horror when a bullet hit the mirror on her side. "Xandrio…"

"Relax Emily. I won't let anything happen to you," he whispered but inside his heart was thumping in

fear.

He ducked her head down to save her from the bullets. "Emily, call Liam and tell him about the attack

on us. Do it fast, sweetheart."

Emily nodded, her eyes wide in a panic she dialled Liam's number with shaking hands. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Liam watched Emily's number flashing on his mobile screen. He didn't answer and let it ring. Suddenly,

Aurora's words rang in his ears. "I can die for my friends."

He gritted his jaw and ignored the call. "I am doing this for you Little one. Only for you."

"He didn't pick the call, Xandrio I am scared. I am so scared."

Alexandrio didn't have his gun with him. He would have done something but now he was empty-

handed, he kissed Emily's head and kept driving the car. He was calling Ralph but his number was

busy.

He didn't have any other option. Every second was precious. He looked at his wife, "Dial Dmitry," he

ordered her but she was in a state of panic but she managed to dial Dmitry 's number.

"Emily?"

"They will kill us, please do something."

"Who? What are you talking about? Where is Alexandrio, Emily?"

Emily let out a horrified scream when the bullet hit glass inside the car. "Dmitry, the masked man

attacked us. He warned Liam that he would hurt everyone related to him. I don't have anything with me.

There are three cars, brother. Bullets are fighting. I am trying to drive but luck is not in my favour."

"Impossible, he would never…"

"He did, Dmitry…"

"Xandrio…" Emily cried as a bullet hit the window glass. Alexandrio ducked his head down while trying

to hold the phone to his hear.

"Nothing will happen to you, Xandrio. I will kill that some of a bitch if a single hair is harmed on your

head."

Emily cried as the broken glass hit her back. Dmitry made a dangerous sound in his throat before

ending the call and dialling The Mexican head.

Alexandrio hit his car to the assassin's as he tried to move ahead of them but they took over and now

his car was surrounded by three cars.

Emily cried as they were pulled out of the car. Alexandrio eyed the gun in their hands. "Leave her, do

whatever you want to do with me but leave her."

A sharp pain ran through his head as one if the man hit him with the butt of the gun.

"Please don't. I am begging you don't hurt him…" she cried falling on her knees. A gun was placed next

to her temple and the sight scared him to the core.

"Dmitry won't be happy…"Alexandrio said, knowing well that his brother had an alliance with The

masked man.

The man who was standing behind Emily laughed at that. " as if our boss cares!" He said, spitting on

the ground and hitting him again with the gun.

Alexandrio's eyes fixed on her Emily was shaking. She was looking at Alexandrio being beaten.

"Please don't hurt him. Do whatever you want to do with me but don't hurt him."

"Emily! Nothing will happen to me or you. Keep quiet," he once again received a hit, this time on his

jaw.

"The offer is not bad, shall we take turns on her."

Emily's eyes widened in horror hearing that. Alexandrio couldn't control himself and punched the man

who was hitting him. "Raise your hand again and I will shoot your wife."

Two men ganged up together and started beating him. Alexandrio took the beating for his wife. The

man was about to pull the trigger as per the orders given to him by his boss but before he could do it, a

bullet hit him in the head.

Emily screamed when bullets started raining like water from the sky. She ran to her husband,

Alexandrio ducked her head and covered her body, shielding her from the bullets.

Liam kept firing bullets till he killed every single one of the men who attacked Alexandrio. It was

calming his anger, his bloodthirsty mind felt satisfaction for a little while but he still cracked for blood.

Blood of the masked man who dared to lay his hands on Aurora.

"You alright?" Liam asked his friend who was on the ground protecting his wife. Alexandrio didnt pay

attention to Liam and checked on Emily. She was a nervous wreck, shivering badly all over and crying.

"Emily, look at me, you are fine. We are fine. Look at me, sweetheart." He said placing his charming

smile on his face. Emily shook her head, he was bleeding all over. She touched the wound, "they hurt

you…"

"I am fine. See Liam saved us both."

Emily hugged him tightly. Alexandrio nodded at Liam. "Thank you, pal, for saving us."

"What are friends for? Come, it's not safe to be here. We need to be home."

Liam took them to his father's house. Ralph was already there and trying to ignore his father. He was

stunned seeing Alexandrio alive and Liam helping him with walk.

He ran to them. "Alexandrio!" He helped him, his eyes found Liam's who looked away from his

scrutinised gaze.

"I will help him, bring the first aid box and call the doctor, fast," Liam ordered his brother. Ralph nodded

his head and followed his order.

"How is all that happened?" Ryan asked.

Ralph was cleaning the blood over Alexandrio's head. Alexandrio glanced at Liam and recited the

whole story to Ryan. "I will not leave that Masked man alive."

"Alexandrio, talk to Dmitry. He called me," Liam said. Alexandrio nodded and was about to call his

brother when

Thomas sprinted inside followed by his most trusted men. "Liam!"

The people who tried to stop him were held at gunpoint.

Liam was enraged seeing him behaving like a boss in his city. He had tolerated enough of him and

Ethan and he was not "That's my house and my men you are pointing the guns at, Thomas." Liam

warned him.

"I have the guts to kill you in your city and your house, Liam. You failed to protect my niece. You only

know how to talk big but when it comes to walking on your words you don't follow the talk. He has my

niece and you couldn't do anything!"

Emily's eyes widened. "Aurora is kidnapped!" She was stunned. Alexandrio held her close to him. She

looked at him in question but he shook his head "later."

Liam fisted his hands. "Don't interfere In my marriage, Thomas…"

"This marriage happened for her protection. What kind of man are you…"

Liam didn't let him finish the sentence. His gun was out and pointed at Thomas' head. Ten guns were

pointed at Liam's head. Ralph and Ryan had their guns out and some were the numerous members of

Liam.

Liam glared at Thomas. "I can kill you right now, Thomas. In a blink of a second and none of your men

would be able to save you. Aurora is not your responsibility anymore. She is not only your niece but

also my wife. I will save her from everything which could harm her. But don't you dare come to my city,

stand in my territory and try to scare me. Liam Knight will not tolerate this." He gritted out.

Thomas nodded. "Then save my niece because if anything happened to her. You will be dead too, Liam

Knight."

"Nothing will happen to her. I will not allow anything to happen to her but you can die, Thomas. You can

die at my hands. Don't forget that."

Emily was stunned seeing these many guns. They were talking about killing each other as if it was not

a big deal. She glanced at Alexandrio but unlike her he didn't look shocked.

Liam downed his gun and glared at Thomas' men. "If you don't want to die, don't show your weapons in

my city and definitely not in my house."

The men glanced at Thomas who nodded and downed their guns. Ryan and Ralph did the same and

did their men.

Liam went to Alexandrio. "Can you talk to Dmitry now and ask him about the Masked man? Or he is

still not ready to believe how dangerous that bastard is even for you and him?"

I played this gamble because of Aurora. Don't disappoint me, Alexandrio. Don't make me regret

changing my decision.

Alexandrio nodded and called his brother. "Dmitry."

"Are you fine and Emily?" Dmitry demanded in a sharp voice.

"Yes," Alexandrio once again glanced at Liam. "I didn't have a gun with me, brother and I couldn't do

anything because they had the gun pointed at Emily."

"I will cut him into a thousand pieces and feed them to dogs, Alex. I will…"

"Dmitry, we owe it to Liam. Help him, brother. For me, for my conscience, share the Masked man's

information. Please. His wife helped and supported Emily. She is innocent in all this, he kidnapped her."

He heard Dmitry sigh. "Alright, but I have a condition."

Liam fisted his hands, furious that he was trying to negotiate. He started speaking but Alxandrio

stopped him from doing so with the shake of his head. "What condition?"

"Leave from there. Go to the USA but leave Canada. Now!"

Alexandrio agreed. "Alright. I will."

"He is in Dawson hiding in the same hole with Juan," Dmitry told him the location of Juan and the

Masked man.

Liam's eyes gleamed. "Wait for a few more hours, Little one. Your husband is coming to save you and I

will burn everyone who dared to lay a single finger on your body." He was going to take his revenge,

brutally.

Liam didn't wait for a single second before leaving to bring his wife back. The woman he fell in love

with, madly and badly.
