CHAPTER 26:
BRYAN'S POV:
"F*ck! Why don't you just buy the store?!" I asked frustrated as she threw almost all the baby shirts from the hangers.
"Good idea! Oh - - but I don't have much money for the whole store" she pouted and went to the cashier, while I followed behind her from the many baby shirts.
_after 30 minutes_
Yes, it took half an hour to compute all those stuffs but it's not over yet....I had no choice but to buy the whole store and finally we're out of there.
I already called for a back up, I mean I called some men from Luca's Headquarters...Luca is a part of a Mafia or uhmm...he's actually a Mafia Leader. Yes.
Behind us now are Luca's men and Sla who carried the shopping bags, there are 15 of them all wearing a formal black suit.
"He'll be needing some toys!" Sapphire screamed as she ran again, f*ck!! She's too stubborn.
"Sapphire! Stop running around!!" I said loudly as she stopped and turned to face me.
"Carry me, then" she said playfully as I walked towards her. The shock on his face was obvious.
"N-no..that was a joke...Bryan you - - wahhh!!" I carried her bridal style as she Yelped out.
"Put me down! It's embarrassing!!" She whispered/yelled at me. I didn't listen of course, so he hid his face in my chest.
"Woooooooowww!!!!" The men behind us suddenly exclaimed as they headed towards the toy store. 'what the h*ck?'
They all gather inside the store and show Sapphire all the toys...d*mn!! Are they really from the Mafia???
"Edwin! That's not for kids!!" Sapphire yelled at one of them who was holding a knife or a dagger.
"But why is it there??" He asked confused while Sapphire kept on laughing at him.
"It's not funny, Saph" I sighed but she suddenly slapped the back of my head and everyone turned silent.
'Did she just slap my head?'
NARRATOR'S POV:
Little did Sapphire know that there is someone hiding behind the counter of the store, yes...and Bryan is already aware of that, together with the men.
Bryan and Luca's staff are secretly signaling, they don't want Sapphire to panic, so Slang is also secretly making a plan on how to keep Saph away from the store without her noticing the danger.
"Kitten, I think we need to go" Bryan said with a smile as he held her close to him. Sapphire immediately frowned and walked away from Bryan to the other side of the store...where the assassin is hiding.
Luca's men couldn't hide their nervousness anymore but forced themselves to smile and pass side by side, pretending that they're choosing some toys.
"Kitten...." Bryan sighed as he walked to the girl with a smile, but behind that smile...there is a hint of smirk hiding.
'Touch my girl and I'll end you with my bare hands' this powerful thought lingers around his mind as he grabs Sapphire in a hug and his dark eyes meet another pair of eyes down the counter.
Sweats started to drip from the man's forehead as he sat down on the floor under the counter while Bryan kept his glaring eyes on him. Bryan secretly signaled to the Mafia Men to turn around the counter and immediately slang followed, then picked up Sapphire who was still wondering what Bryan was doing.
"Edwin! Keep the knife...you might use it" Bryan smirked as he walked out of the toy store with Sapphire in his arms.
The Mafia Men immediately grabbed the man who owned the dagger that Edwin Saka had picked up and dropped it on the floor.
"Who are you aiming for?" Edwin asked dangerously as he grabbed the man's hair.
"There is no point in lying, so tell me who you are targeting and who ordered you," Leo, another Man from the Mafia said.
"N-n-n-I promised h-h-I won't s-tell!!" The man on the floor manages to yell, there is no one else in the store because Bryan let her go so Sapphire can pick whatever she wants but some st*pid Assassin came and interrupted this good day.
"Are you going to talk or are you going to help me?" Edwin pressed the knife on the man's neck as it started to bleed.
"I-I-I won't s-tell!!" Edwin smirked, he knows you can't kill a person inside the store rather inside the mall, so they drag the man out of the mall and take him to the headquarters where Luca and Lance are now.
"Oh...you guys done shopping?" Luca said as he put down the bottle of wine. His right eyebrow immediately arched when he noticed the man carrying someone else's back.
"What did we get back there?" Luca asked mischievously as he stood up. His eyes held power and danger as he glared at the man from behind.
"That man followed me to the Mall, I don't know who his target was and who ordered him... He didn't want to talk" Edwin explained as he stepped aside so Luca could get close to the man.
"How I wish little Saphie wasn't your target...because I will make you feel a painful d*ath" Luca whispered as he dragged the man to a room with one hand.
He threw the man inside a dark room and shut the door.
"You are an Assassin, right?" Luca asked with a devilish smirk as he walked around the man.
"Now tell me, who are you going to assassinate" the man gulp down, he can't hide Luca's fear...
"Just order me!!" He knelt down and started to beg.
"I-I'm aiming for the woman! Mr. Costales ordered me!" He cried out and Luca started to laugh.
"That old man again?! Bryan let him go the last time he ordered someone to kidnap my sis-in-law....now, I would love to see how he handles that stinky old man" Luca smirked as he turned around and walk out of the dark room.
"Tie him up! I'll get back to Yan!" He yelled, Lance couldn't do anything but to sigh.
"Here we go again" he said and stood up Then followed Luca.
On the other side, Bryan convinced Sapphire to take a break and they went to the Ice Cream Shop.
"Stay here for a minute, Saph...I'll just call someone" Bryan said to the girl as he stood up and walked a little far from her, but he could still keep an eye on her.
"They want your girl man" Luca immediately said which made Bryan angry
'Tss they want my girl?'
"Who?" Bryan asked.
"The old man from last time" Luca said simply as they both smirked.
"Alright, I'll handle him" Bryan immediately ended the call after that then returned to Sapphire. The girl is busy eating her chocolate ice cream.
'I'll end him tonight'
