The whole house watched in shock as the woman screamed at the Italian don. The staff, Alessandro's assistant, and his bodyguard were all stunned by her auilacity. No one had ever dared to behave so rudely with the mafia king and lived to tell the tale. Yet, Alessandro didn't even look angry at her. They all thought she must be someone very influential to hold such power over even the Italian don. When Mia stormed out in anger, Alessandro stood there, dumbfounded. His heart ached as he realized. what Adam Whitmore meant to her. She had jumped to conclusions and accused him of kidnapping the movie star. She didn't trust him, not even a bit. "Lucas!" Alessandro called out to his right-hand man. "Yes, boss," Lucas hurriedly stepped forward, standing in front of Alessandro and waiting for his order. "I need all the information about Adam within an hour, Where is he, and if he is actually kidnapped, who did it? Is that clear?" The Italian don ordered curtly. "Got it, boss. I'll be back very soon with all the info, Lucas replied and left swiftly. Though Alessandro didn't care about the movie star personally, he couldn't stand the hatred in Mia's eyes. It shattered his soul to know that she thought he was a heartless monster. He had wanted to kill Adam countless times and never thought he would want to see him alive so desperately-just to prove to Mia that he wasn't as heartless as she thought. He left for the office, but his mind was not focused on work. He waited eagerly for Lucas to come back with the information. True to his word, Lucas returned exactly in one hour with the information Alessandro needed to get Adam back. "He's been missing for more than twenty-four hours, and the police are also searching for him," Lucas reported. "But the strange part is no ransom is demanded till now." "Weird," Alessandro mused, his expression serious and deep in thought. "Who would kidnap him and not ask for a ransom? They could get a fortune in exchange for Adam Whitmore's freedom. After all, he's worth billions, and his movie producers would be willing to pay any amount to save the actor," Alessandro spoke as he tried to piece everything together. "It means only one thing: either Adam has planned it himself, or someone who has a score to settle with him has abducted him to take revenge, Alessandro added thoughtfully. "Which means either he's dead by now or is going to die." Lucas concluded grimly. "Shut up, Lucas. He can't die. I need him alive," Alessandro gritted out in annoyance. "Did you find out who abducted him?" "I pulled some strings and talked to an assassin gang. I found out one of their best men did it," Lucas informed. Alessandro's eyes lit up as he asked, "Where is he?" "I brought him with me, Lucas replied, pressing something on his phone. Moments later, the office door swung open, and two men escorted a tall figure into the room. The man wore a black T-shirt and tight Black pants, his face pale and eyes darting nervously around the room. skilled mercenary, tall and broad-shouldered, but before the Italian mafia boss, he shivered like a powerless person. "What's your name?" Alessandro asked in his cold and commanding voice. "Jean, Mr. Valentino," the man replied quickly, his voice trembling, clearly aware of the grave danger he was in. "I swear, if... if I knew Adam Whitmore was your your person, I wouldn't have abducted him," Jean stammered, desperation evident in his tone. "Adam Whitmore is not my person, but I need him alive," Alessandro demanded sternly, his gaze never leaving Jean's. "Where is he?" "I can take you to where I dropped him," Jean responded quickly, his horrified eyes wide as he looked at the Italian mafia boss, hoping for some mercy. "Good." Alessandro scowled as he stood up, picking up his suit jacket with a swift motion. Lucas grabbed Jean by the arm and led the way, the tension palpable as they moved. They drove through the city, the skyscrapers giving way to run-down buildings and overgrown fields. Soon, they arrived at the outskirts, standing before a deserted house that looked like it had seen better days. "This is the place where I was instructed to drop the movie star, Jean said, his voice shaky as he pointed to the dilapidated structure. Alessandro's eyes narrowed as he took in the scene. The house was a picture of neglect, with boarded-up windows and ivy creeping up its walls. The air around them was heavy with silence, broken only by the distant hum of traffic. Lucas and Alessandro exchanged a glance, both understanding the gravity of the situation. Alessandro's jaw tightened, a mix of anger and determination flashing in his eyes. "Lead the way." Alessandro commanded, his voice cold and unwavering, Jean hesitated for a moment, then. nodded, guiding them toward the entrance of the house. He knocked on the door three times as if it were a signal. Alessandro glanced briefly over his shoulder as he took out his gun. Lucas followed closely behind, holding his gun tightly and alert. The door creaked open, revealing a dark, musty interior that smelled of damp and decay. A filthy, bulky man poked his head out and asked Jean, "You showed up again?" Confusion was evident in his voice. "Yeah, I forgot something." Jean replied. But before the man could get suspicious and respond, Alessandro motioned quickly to his men and then leaped into action, firing the first shot. The guard dropped dead instantly. They quickly barged inside, expecting more resistance, but to their surprise, there was only one guard for the movie star. The thought made the Italian don roll his eyes inwardly. Maybe his captor didn't expect anyone to find him so easily. Alessandro's frantic eyes searched the dimly lit room and found Adam tied to a chair, bloodied and wounded, almost half dead.
