Chapter 6 Why They

When her car stopped at the location that was sent to her through message, she bit her lip in confusion as in front of her eyes was the abandon house whose front face was completely covered with the stems of the plants that were planted around it, the grass was long and needed to mow, the air was tensed and scary around this house she picked her phone and open the message icon to ensure the location is correct.

'Are you sure the address you sent is right?' she typed the message and waited impatiently for the reply when her phone beeps, she quickly unlocked the screen and open the message that was from the same number.

'Don't waste the time and come out of the car, your son's life is at risk' her eyes opened wide in horror and she swiftly came out of the car not even glancing around her she passed through the main gate of that house but hardly she had taken few steps on the track, someone came behind her and bind the thick cloth on her eyes making her vision blind, she slapped her hand on the hand that was around her shoulder but the man was strong and she was like a small ant in front of him.

'Be co-operative and your kids are safe' another threat defeated her and she let the man take her where he wanted to, just to save her kids she can bear all this.

'Mommy!' she was walking with two on her either side not knowing where they were taking to her and just because of her sons she kept her mouth shut, but suddenly she heard the voice of Logan, though it was faint but it was enough to tell calm down her heart and mind that she is now with her boys, she rubbed her right hand on her skirt nervously.

'Logan?' she whispered his name.

'Logan, Ethan, you guys are here?' she yelled, but instead of their voice she heard the manly laugh from behind, making her body stiffen, with that the blind on her eyes was removed making it difficult for her to open them up instantly she blinked few times to adjust and the first thing her eyes caught were her boys hanged with the help of rope from ceiling, their hands and legs both were tied facing their back to the floor, her heart sink at the sight of the scene her babies were in, not very far from them lays Natalie, her hand and legs were also tied but she was not awake.

'What did you do to her? And why have you kept my boys hanging like this? What wrong have we done to you?' she yelled at the number of men that were standing at the corner of the room and around his boys.

'Amazing, you truly love them huh?' Autumn looked at the man with sour face who walked and made his appearance in front of her, he was wearing branded light grey color formal suit with brown shoes beneath it, bringing out the charm of his muscular body, but right now at this moment Autumn just find this man awful.

'They are my kids, how dare you touch them and hang them like that' she gritted her teeth and grabbed the color of his shirt demanding the answer, seeing the tears in her kids eyes she had lost all her temper and the only thing she wanted right now was to kill this man who was the reason of the pain her family was in currently.

'Let her be' Giovanni's man quickly rushed to hold her but he raised his hand and wave them off.

'It is nice meeting you, Ms. Autumn Banner' making his collar free from her grasp he smiled bitterly, something from his action was making her restless a bad vibe she could feel coming off from this man.

'Who are you and what me and my family has to do with you?' Giovanni chuckled and clapped applauding her.

'You have already repeated your question so many time since I have called you, don't you think if I had to tell you I would have on first call' shoving his hands in his pants pocket he mocked her.

'Listen, I am not here to waste the time, tell me what you want?' she was losing patience which would not be right and wise.

'I don't want to waste the time either, but I have called someone and waiting for his arrival, I am sorry dear lady you have to wait until then' resting his right hand on his chest he bowed his head in teasing way making Autumn to clench her teeth.

'Who is that someone? And when will he arrive?' she was eager to get this done quickly and take her family out of this dirty place, her worried eyes captured the weary condition of her boys and unconscious body of her only friend.

'Well I am in more hurry than you but looks like the person doesn't care for someone's life' sighing and shaking his head in disappointment he asked his men to be ready for his next order. Seeing them taking positions around three of them with knife in their hands she panicked and looked at the person who was bossing around them with hatred and tears in her eyes.

'Why are you doing this to us, what have we done to you, tell me?' she bends her knees on the floor and shouted at him before started crying, the situation was out of her mind, if it was all about someone else than what was the purpose of bringing all of them here, they never had break any rules in these past four years nor they had fight with anyone, she and Natalie always preferred to leave a peaceful life then why this was happening with them.

'You have the key of success and getting rich overnight in your hand' crouching down Giovanni murmured to her causing her to look at him with jerk and confusion playing in her eyes.

'I was right, you don't know that, what a shame' shaking his head he stood and called his other two man to come forwards and tie her down with the pillar next to where Natalie was tied.

'Wait and watch carefully and you will get all the answers of your questions in few minutes' whispering in her ears Giovanni back off when he heard his brother Salvatore coming inside and shouting.

'Alessandro has reached' a sinister and cruel smile made his way up on his face.
