Twin Tormentors By RARE

Chapter 58

LORENZO POV

The trepidation piled up with each heartbeat, my knee kept bouncing rapidly against the hard ground and my muscles clenched so tight I felt like I was going to have dead ass cramps all over my body. I didn’t even want to look at Verzi to know how he was, I already knew. He was a whole bughouse with emotions sending him over the edge.

A lot of things flashed through my mind like a tape recorder, the otiose trip to Milan, had it been Xander’s plan? To get us away from Ari so that he can take her? And my girl, where was she? Was she still… God forbid that.

I couldn’t even begin to imagine what I was going to be if anything happened to her. The loud rumbling of our Chevy Camaro sounded from a distance. I looked to Verzi to find him already gathering his paraphernalia with a very angry face. I felt for him, in more ways than he could ever imagine. I wasn’t being a dick for not being his shoulder. It wasn’t that and it would never be that. But I wasn’t the strong one this time, I was the weakest. And he had so much power to hold me up or else I was going to crumble. As soon as the sound was near, we piled out of the limo and ran towards the midnight black beast. We hopped on and Valerie stepped on the wheel, none of us said anything, but the tension in the car was so thick. While she was swerving and maneuvering through the heavy evening traffic, Verzi and I were busy clamping ourselves with our toys. Guns and blades. A small vibration made me halt, I fished my phone from out of my suit pants to find a text from an unknown number.

Opening it, I found the GPS with a red dot that was blinking.

“What?” Verzi asked from my side, I showed him the phone and his brows furrowed,

“It’s a location.” He pointed out. I zoomed in on the GPS to get a clear view of things. The location was at least an hour from where we were currently.

“To Ponza.” I barked at Valerie who stepped on the gas immediately,

“Boss, I think we shouldn’t just go there. It might be a trap.” Val warned looking at us in the rearview mirror. Be it a trap or not, I wasn’t going to take any chances. Our girl was currently all by herself in the hands of some psychomaniac who wanted to kill her. I didn’t want to think of the situation she might be in, I just needed to get to her.

“I’ll send people to check in first.” Verzi chimed in already punching on his phone. From then on, the ride was full of Verzi barking orders to his men to surround the place and see if there are any traps. 30 minutes later, we got a call from Ciello, that they’d found where she was kept and that they already surrounded the abandoned warehouse, waiting to ambush at our commands.

Upon hearing this, I felt a rush of relief washing over me. Whoever sentus the location, may

God be with him. I wasn’t sure of his plans yet, but I was thankful because he led us to our girl! I was sitting beside myself until Valerie expertly swerved the car into the parking lot a good distance from the warehouse. In a heartbeat, we were out with our guns ready to fuck anyone and anything in our way.

We were swift on our feet, very light without making even a sound. Although I so wanted to g o head-on into the building and maim whoever was in there, I didn’t want to do anything that would jeopardize this in any way. We had to be clever, we had to be su
