Burn Loot Chapter 53
Dino sat in silence, his muscles taut, his mind a storm of thoughts. Across from him, his mother clutched her hands together, her face pale in the dim glow of the overhead light. The black SUV sped through the darkened streets, the city lights flickering like distant stars.Tomas drove in tense silence, scanning the rearview mirror for signs of pursuit. Alejandro had been left behind, but he wouldn’t stay down for long.Dino’s shoulder burned where Alejandro’s knife had grazed him. He pressed his fingers to the wound. It wasn’t deep, but it stung. More than that, it served as a reminder—this was no longer a rivalry. It was war.His mother shifted beside him, her hands trembling. Her dark eyes, so much like his own, were filled with something he had never seen before—grief.“Dino…” She exhaled shakily.He turned to her, expecting relief. Instead, he saw sorrow.She swallowed hard, her voice thick with emotion. “I never wanted this for you.”Dino frowned. “You didn’t want to be rescued?

Pacing the length of his office, Dino's fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white. Isabella, sat on the leather couch nearby, her hands wringing together in silent distress. He could feel her gaze on him, filled with worry, but he couldn't stop moving. Elena was out there, in Alejandro’s hands.His phone rang.Unknown Number.Dino snatched it up, pressing the device to his ear. “Who is this?”A slow, mocking chuckle slithered through the line.Alejandro.“Dino, Dino, Dino… You really should’ve known better.”Dino’s fingers tightened around the phone until it nearly cracked. “Where is she?”Alejandro sighed dramatically. “You always go straight to the threats. No pleasantries? No ‘hello, dear brother’?”Dino clenched his jaw, his blood boiling with barely restrained fury. This wasn’t the time for games.“I swear, if you touch her—”“You’ll do what?” Alejandro sneered. “You’re too late, Dino. She’s already mine.”A rustling sound. Then a voice. Weak. Pained.“Dino…”Elena.Din

Sanchez stepped out of the Escalade limousine and walked straight to where the boys were awaiting his arrival for his instructions. Tied to a chair and blindfolded was a man in his forties with blood stains all over his body, evident of the severe torture he has undergone.“Has he spoken yet?” Sanchez asked, signaling for a cigar smoke. ” He is still proving stubborn, Adrian spoke; he is the top henchman of Sanchez's echelon of hoodlums.“Remove the blindfold,” Sanchez ordered the boys. “You think you can double-cross me, you nitwit?” he asked, pointing his walking stick at the man sitting under their torture. ”Are you ready to speak to save your life?” Sanchez asked, stooping low to give him a lower gaze.The man spat at Sanchez’s face; immediately, his boys began another round of beatings as he began coughing blood. While the boys were still at it, a call came through for Sanchez. “Have you seen the whole package”?,he asked the caller before ending the call.“Adrian, you can dispos

The rain fell visibly heavy in Sanchez’s estate; Emilio Capello’s heart is in turmoil just like the brewing storm outside. Sanchez’s study was dimly lit by a single desk lamp as he sat in a black leather chair. Sanchez, the most dreaded drug lord of Central Genoa, with a glass of whiskey in his hand. His blue sparkling eyes were glued on Capello, who sat like a man about to be hanged.“Emilio, you look like shit,” Sanchez said in amusement.Capello restrained his fingers from clutching a fist. The last few months have seen him drown in financial ruin; his thriving car import business is left with no trail. His last hope, the shipment from Miami to Italy, had sunk; he is now left with unpaid debts. Hospital bills pile up as his wife, who is undergoing treatment, is still in a state of coma.Sanchez had extended his hand once, under the guise of friendship, and lent a loan to him. The time is due for the debt to be paid, and Capello is empty-handed as he has no hope of paying.Capello r

Sanchez swirling his drink with an air of satisfaction, leaning back on his chair. "niña,you are not enjoying this moment" he mused, his voice sounding silky like a sharp blade. "This ought to be a joyous and memorable night for you."Elena curls her fingers in her palms. "Joyous?" she repeated snortingly, the word forcefully past the lump in her throat.Sanchez’s gaze flicks to Alejandro, who watches the conversation with mild amusement while standing close to the fireplace with a glass of whiskey in hand. "You are betrothed to my son at last. A perfect match fatefully designed."Fate.Elena had a sickening feel. "Tell me it isn’t true." She turns to her father hoping he refutes the claim.Capello rubbing a hand over his face exhaled deeply. He looked older and more fragile tonight this can’t be the man she knew growing up with lots of admiration for "Elena—”No replyCapello hesitated; slowly nodded in affirmation “it was decided a long time ago while you were still a child.”Th

The estate’s grand hall was filled with echoes of clinking glasses and laughter, as the night was fast approaching. Inside, women adorned in diamonds whispered secrets behind painted lips, while the men bartered over power with fine wine. Wealth, blood, and control were the foundations of this world.Everything was different,as the dim light shone over the balcony.Elena's gown was shimmering under the soft glow of the garden lights as she stood before Dino.Her voice remained steady as her chest rose and fell with quiet fury."I need your help."Dino, expecting this, had seen the desperation in her eyes back in the hall, with her hands trembling against her dress when she realized the truth. Before she could speak, she had already been sold.Tightening his jaw "It's not as easy as you think.Elena chuckled. “It has never been, has it?”Dino's gaze shifted past her, beyond the balcony, where the city stretched in the distance. Out there, people lived free. He always dreamt about that k

Dino gripped his mother’s arm and pulled her behind him. The air in the dimly lit corridor was thick with tension. Gunfire rattled through the estate like a war drum, signaling Sanchez’s men closing in.Elena’s voice crackled in his earpiece. “Dino, Sanchez is sending everything he has at you. You need to move. Now!”Dino exhaled sharply. Sanchez wasn’t running. He was hunting.Dino turned to his mother. “Stay behind me.”She didn’t argue. She knew what was at stake.Tomas’ voice came through the comms. “Dino, we have a way out through the west wing, but we need to hurry.”Dino glanced down the hallway. Footsteps. Multiple.Then—a familiar voice.“Going somewhere, brother?”Dino’s blood turned to ice. Alejandro.Brother Against BrotherDino turned. Alejandro stood at the end of the corridor, flanked by two armed guards. His suit was impeccable, but his eyes—wild. Cold. Unhinged.His smirk was razor-sharp. “You really thought you could just walk out of here?”Dino stepped forward, shie

Dino stared at the grainy image of his mother—bound, unconscious, and in Sanchez’s grasp—and stood motionless. The tension in the room was suffocating, but inside Dino, a deadly calm settled.Elena clutched his arm. “We have to move. Now.”Tomas crossed his arms. “Sanchez is baiting you. If you walk into this without a plan, you’re dead.”Dino nodded slowly. Sanchez wanted him desperate. Reckless.But Dino wasn’t Alejandro. He wouldn’t charge in like a madman. He would play this carefully.Dino turned to Tomas. “We need intel. Where is he holding her?”Tomas exhaled sharply. “I’ll put my contacts on it.”Elena’s voice was firm. “I want in.”Dino met her gaze. She had fire in her eyes. Determination. But this wasn’t her fight.“Elena—”“I’m not staying behind.” Her voice was steel. “Sanchez took everything from me too. Let me help.”Dino studied her. She wasn’t afraid. She was ready.Finally, he gave a slow nod. “Alright. But we do this my way.”Tomas’ phone buzzed. He glanced at the s

A Desperate EscapeThe night air was thick with smoke and blood. Gunfire rattled in the distance, echoing through the compound as bodies littered the ground. Dino’s vision swayed as he and Elena staggered toward the south gate. The gunshot wound in his shoulder throbbed with every step, but he forced himself forward, driven by sheer will.Elena’s grip on him was tight, her breathing uneven. “Just a little further,” she whispered, her voice trembling.Dino gritted his teeth, ignoring the burning pain. He wasn’t worried about himself. Sanchez was still out there.Every second counted.They reached the outer courtyard, where the shadows stretched long under the flickering floodlights. Dino’s earpiece crackled, and Tomas’ voice cut through the static.“We’ve got movement—get ready.”Dino barely had time to react before a figure emerged from the darkness.A gun raised.Elena gasped, gripping Dino’s arm.Dino reached for his own weapon—Too slow.A gunshot rang out.A body collapsed.But it

Dino’s heart pounded. Elena was in Sanchez’s grasp.A gun to her head.The dim hallway was filled with smoke, dust, and the distant echoes of gunfire. The compound was burning, but Sanchez stood unaffected, as if the chaos around him didn’t exist.Elena’s breath was shaky, her body rigid. But her eyes—her eyes were defiant.Dino took a slow step forward, his own gun raised, unwavering.Sanchez smirked. “Don’t be stupid, Dino.”Dino’s grip tightened. “Let her go.”Sanchez chuckled. “And why would I do that?” His fingers flexed around the trigger. “You don’t have a shot. And even if you did, you wouldn’t take it.”Dino’s mind worked fast. Sanchez was right—he had no clear shot without risking Elena.But that didn’t mean he was out of options.A distraction.Dino flicked his wrist, sending a blade flying from his sleeve.The knife sliced through the air, aimed at Sanchez’s gun hand.Sanchez jerked his arm away just in time—but it was enough.Elena reacted instantly.She slammed her elbow

The Ghost from the PastDino stood frozen at the threshold of the grand room, his pulse a slow, dangerous drumbeat in his ears.Miguel.The man he had once trusted. The man who had vanished years ago.Now, he was here, alive, seated at the head of the cartel’s empire.Dino’s mind raced. Sanchez was no longer in charge—Miguel was.Alejandro smirked beside him. “Surprised, hermano?”Dino didn’t answer. His silence was razor-sharp.Miguel leaned forward, a glass of whiskey in his hand. He studied Dino, his expression unreadable. “It’s been a long time.”Dino’s voice was cold. “Not long enough.”Miguel chuckled. “You always had a sharp tongue.” He took a slow sip, then gestured to the empty seat across from him. “Sit. Let’s talk like old friends.”Dino didn’t move. He wasn’t here for negotiations.He was here for Elena. For his mother. And for revenge.Alejandro sighed dramatically. “Still so tense.” He strolled over to the bar, pouring himself a drink. “Let’s make this easy. You give us

The jet’s engines hummed as it soared over the Gulf of Mexico, slicing through the night like a phantom.Dino sat in his seat, silent, his fingers curled around his pistol. The weight of war pressed down on his shoulders.He wasn’t just heading into Sanchez’s domain.He was walking into a trap.The PlanTomas leaned in from across the cabin. “We land in two hours. Sanchez’s compound is locked down tight. Perimeter guards, drones, snipers. The whole damn place is a fortress.”Dino nodded. “And my mother?”Tomas hesitated. “We’re still trying to confirm her exact location, but we have a lead—a secondary building near the docks.”Dino’s grip tightened.She was close.Tomas continued, lowering his voice. “Alejandro made his demands clear. No backup. No men. Just you.”Dino smirked. “He thinks I play fair.”Tomas exhaled, shaking his head. “We both know he has something planned. You’re not seriously going in alone?”Dino glanced at him. “You, Marco, and the rest stay hidden. Wait for my si
