Taken By The Mafia Lord

Though he looked amused, there was a dark, dangerous glint in his eyes that made her thank God that she wasn’t the one at the receiving edge of his anger. In one word, Daniel seethed silently and it didn’t look pretty unlike the panicking idiot that had her by the throat and used her body to shield him.

He feared Daniel, Arianna could smell that off him and it left her confused. Was Daniel really that good at killing people? Was that why he feared him? Maybe she shouldn’t rejoice that much, what if Daniel killed her afterward? No, he was holding business with her papa so she was safe, for the moment. Natalie made a mental note never to provoke him – if she survived today.

“Have you come to collect your woman? You couldn’t even wait a day, is her pussy that sweet?” He sneered.

Whoah, whoah, what the hell? Natalie was offended. Where was that coming from? What gave him the impression that she was Daniel’s whore? She still hasn’t even understood why the man even targeted her in the first place because as far as she knows, she and Daniel were not together – and would never be.

“Hey, asshole, I think you’re mistaken -” Natalie nearly choked when the man tightened his grip on her neck and she saw a shift in Daniel’s expression. Surely, he wasn’t concerned about her, right? Well, even if he was, it was only because she was his client’s daughter and he was the reason she was here. Yeah, he only cared about her because it would affect his business with her papa, Natalie told herself.

“Why don’t you let her go and I would make your death less painful?” Daniel finally spoke up and if it wasn’t for his taut body, she would have found his nonchalance offensive. He looked relaxed even when the man was almost choking her.

“Make my death less painful?” He scoffed, a crazed look in his eyes, “You might be able to do that but I would take a piece of you with me,” He laughed and the next thing Natalie knew, a gun’s muzzle was pressing against her temple and her blood ran cold. She was going to die. God, she was going to die!

Her heart began to pound faster while her palms were clammy with sweat and the moment Daniel took a step forward, he pressed the gun further against her temple and it did nothing to calm her nerves. Step back, you idiot! Does he want to get her killed?!

.....

“Really? Can you do that?” Daniel tipped his head to the side with a smile. Wait a minute, an actual smile? Was he kidding her? He was goading the man, not calming him! Daniel would cause her death.

To prove her point, she felt the man’s nervousness increase, and the gun’s muzzle was now biting into her skin, leaving an imprint. This was it, she was going to die because of Daniel’s caustic mouth and stupidness.

“I’m going to end her life before you end mine,” The man said as if to assure himself that he was in control here and not Daniel.

“I have snipers in place already and you should watch your back because that red dot from behind would end your life quicker than you could pull your trigger,” Daniel smirked devilishly and Natalie felt the moment the man’s grip loosened as he turned to see what he was talking about.

It all happened in a split second because the moment he turned his head, Daniel winked at her and call it instinct or something, but she knew that there was no sniper behind them and the wink was a signal. Signal for what? Natalie had no idea but she was not sitting around to find out.

The man turned back with rage when he discovered that there was no window in his position but a wall, he had forgotten that thanks to his nerves and Daniel just tricked him which wasn’t good. With Daniel here, he knew that he was fighting a losing battle, however, he swore to hurt Daniel in the process too. He had to kill that woman.

However, that single turn of his head was a mistake and the opening Natalie needed to turn her fate around. She only hoped that this wouldn’t turn out to be a mistake. So she slammed her head back into his jaw and the man cursed, his grip losing around her neck. Unfortunately, he was quick to resume control, his finger curling around the trigger, ready to blast her head off but Daniel was faster.

Bang!

Daniel fired, the shot catching him straight in the hand holding that gun so he had no choice but to drop it with a curse as blood seeped instantly from his finger and Natalie was able to escape from his clutch. She ran to safety and crouched down, covering her ears with her palms as the second shot rang out.

The second shot destroyed his kneecap and the man’s scream echoed throughout the warehouse making Natale close her ear further. She was not a huge fan of violence and this one was playing out right in front of her. If Natalie didn’t fear Daniel before, she had a good reason to do so now as she watched the brutal execution.

“When I make an offer, I make sure to deliver it. I told you I would make your death less painful, you should have taken up the offer when it wasn’t too late,” Daniel told the man as he approached him with the stance of a predator. Daniel was in control and he knew that.

“Go to hell,” He sneered.

A shadow fell over Daniel’s face as he said, “Don’t worry, that’s where you’re clearly headed.”

Bang!
