Chapter 129
Antonio’s men assembled at the rendezvous point—the spot he had chosen for them to meet.Engines roared to life as black SUVs lined up in the dim morning light, each one loaded with men who carried not just weapons but a fierce resolve. Antonio stood at the front, his commanding presence towering over the group with his voice steady yet burning with fire.“This isn’t just another mission,” he said, his eyes sweeping across the faces of his soldiers. “They’ve taken Matilda, and that means they’ve declared war. Today, Ravenport will learn what it means to touch what belongs to me. No hesitation. No mercy.”The men nodded with hardened expressions, adrenaline already coursing through their veins. Once Antonio gave the signal, the convoy roared forward, tires gripping the cracked asphalt as they sped toward Ravenport.The journey was brutal. The roads were narrow, twisting, littered with potholes, and the weather seemed determined to slow them down. A heavy wind howled across the lan

The following morning, Antonio sat at the edge of his desk in Bellagio Group when his phone rang. He answered without hesitation.“Mr. Morris,” came the frantic voice on the other end, “there’s been an incident at the hospital.”Antonio’s pulse spiked. “What kind of incident?”The voice trembled, struggling to hold composure. “It’s your sister, Matilda. She’s been kidnapped.”"What?"The words slammed into Antonio like a freight train. For a moment, his hand went rigid and his phone pressed to his ear as his heart lurched violently in his chest.Cynthia was sorting some documents a few steps away when she heard the man’s voice through the speaker. Her eyes went wide, and she moved closer as she began to understand what he was saying.Her face drained of all color and a strangled cry tore from her throat, echoing through the house. “No! Matilda! No!"Antonio didn’t even flinch. His fury burned too hot for shock. He tightened his grip on the phone, his voice sharp and dangerous.

Inside the van, Matilda lay slumped in the corner, her body weak, and her breaths shallow. Her wrists were bound with rough cord, and every bump in the road sent pain shooting through her fragile frame. The men who had kidnapped her spoke in harsh whispers, especially when they recognized Matilda as the same girl they had once abducted.“Why are we even bothering taking her back to the den?” one of them muttered in irritation.“Look at her. She’s half-dead already. What use is she to us like this?”Another man sitting in the back, his face hidden beneath a black cap, leaned forward. “He’s right. We’ve taken her kidney. She’s sick too—we all know she’s got that incurable disease. Who’s going to pay good money for a body like this? Even her organs won’t fetch a price.”A third man who was older than the rest, with a scar running from his ear down his cheek, narrowed his eyes. “Then what do you suggest? We can’t just toss her on the roadside. That would attract attention.”The man in

Within two days, representatives from the loan company arrived, armed with legal documents. “We are here to collect the collateral agreed upon in your loan document,” one of the agents said flatly. “Your repayment for this month has not been met, and we have no choice but to proceed.”Elaine’s hands trembled as she glanced at the papers they held. Her desk, which only yesterday had been a symbol of her hard-fought progress, now looked like a battlefield. She had worked tirelessly to bring Green Deal Solutions back from bankruptcy, putting in extra hours, negotiating deals, and convincing clients to stay on. And yet, within a matter of days, her efforts seemed meaningless.“I… I’ve tried to call Mr Harry Gibson,” she stammered. “He assured me that I wouldn’t have issues this month.”The agents exchanged glances. One shook his head. “We can only act on the terms of the agreement you signed. If you cannot meet the payment, we take the collateral. No exceptions.”Elaine’s heart sank

Antonio’s fingers curled into a fist on the desk. His eyes hardened, but the corner of his mouth lifted in a cold smile. “Elias… let me ask you something.”“Yes, boss?”“Are you afraid?”There was a pause on the line, a silence that spoke louder than words. Then Elias gave a nervous chuckle, the kind of laugh that masked his fear. “Boss… it’s not about fear. It’s about survival. From what you just told me earlier, nobody faces them and lives. If we push too far, we’ll be putting not only ourselves but our people at risk. That’s why I’m saying—leave them. Don’t go near them. Since someone related to us has once been in their custody, it’s better to step back. Our job should be to make sure none of our people ever fall into their hands. That’s how we win. Not by charging into the lion’s den.”The words settled like acid in Antonio’s chest. He slammed his hand against the desk, the sound echoing through the quiet room. His voice rose, sharp and furious.“When did you become so chick

Antonio’s jaw clenched the moment Matilda’s words left her lips. His chest rose and fell in uneven bursts, anger boiling through him until his hands trembled at his sides.“Where?” His voice was low, but it carried the weight of thunder. “Tell me the name of the town where these bastards are hiding.”Matilda, pale and weak from her ordeal, turned her head slowly on the pillow. Her eyes, still clouded with pain, trembled with fear as she studied Antonio’s expression. She swallowed before speaking.“They keep their camp on the outskirts of Raventon. It’s an old industrial area… warehouses and broken-down factories. That’s where they took us, where the girls were kept.”Raventon. The very sound of it tasted like ash in Antonio’s mouth. He had heard whispers of the town before. It was a place most decent people avoided altogether. Hearing it confirmed from Matilda only solidified his rage.He leaned forward, his fists pressing into the mattress beside her. “I swear to you, Matilda
