《To New York》Chapter 32
Advertisement
Amanda got out of the car and slammed the door behind her, I swear this woman works on my last nerve. If it was anybody else, I probably would have killed them by now but it's her . I sat in the car for a few minutes, trying to calm myself before starting the car. I was about to pull out of the restaurant when my phone rang, I picked it up from the cup holder and looked at the caller ID. I smirked when Amanda's name displayed on the screen. I slid the green icon left before putting the phone on my ear.
"Are you ready to sto--" I started but got cut off by a screaming Amanda, causing me to instantly sit up.
"LEONARDO HELP ! HELP ! I'M BEIN-" the line got cut off before she could even finish.
"NO ! NO ! NOO ! " I screamed while punching the driving wheel . I tried calling her phone again multiple times but it went straight to voicemail, my heart rate escalated. I knew that one of rivals or someone that has it out for me took her because I know for a fact that Amanda doesn't have any dirt on her. The feeling of guilt and regret was weighing down on me right now, if only I could turn time back.
I grabbed my phone from the passenger seat and dialed my father's number, it rang twice before he picked up.
" L'hanno presa, hanno il padre di Amanda" (they got her, they have Amanda father) I said before driving away from the restaurant.
Amanda's POV
" Amandaaa, wake up sweetheart ." I heard a man's voice say and someone slightly tapping me on the cheek. My eyes shot open and a pair of green ones were looking straight into mine causing me to nearly jump out of my skin. I stared at the man before me, he might have the most beautiful eyes but he sure was ugly. Half of his face was burnt , badly ! except for his eye area and he had multiple scars but the worst one, which is probably the biggest one went from the top of his left eyebrow, all the way across his face to the bottom of his right jawline. He chuckled at me examining his face, I broke eye contact and looked away. I tried standing up but my hands and legs were tied to the wooden chair, I kicked and wiggled trying to set myself free but the knots were tight as hell.
"Don't do dat sweetheart, you'll get hurt and we don't want dat to happen now, or do we ?! " His deep Columbian accent didn't go unnoticed, I watch a lot of telenovelas so trust me, I know a Columbian accent. I didn't respond, just rolled my eyes at him and that seemed to piss him off because grabbed a hand full of my hair and yanked it. I screamed in pain as my sculp started to burn.
" When I talk, you listen and when I ask a question, you answer. Is that clear Ms Gaffley ?" he yanked my hair even harder when he said the last part, tears started pouring out of my eyes now.
"YES ! YES ! YES!" he let go of my hair and started to massage my scalp, easing the pain a little but I couldn't help but continue to cry . He moved from behind me and came to kneel before me. He put his hand under my chin, forcing me to look up at him.

" I don't want to hurt you Amanda but don't tempt me sweetheart, or else I'll kill you. " he said while moving strands of hair away from my face gently. I, being consumed with fear, just nodded, not trusting my own voice enough. I bit my lip, holding back my sobs.
" Great ! Turn the lights fully on, untie her and chain her to dat wall " he took off his suit jacket and rolled his shirt sleeves up, what ?
" N-No ! I think I'll be just fine on this chair, t-tied up and... stuff. " I said stumbling all over my words. His laughter echoed around the room, causing me to shiver. His men untied me and dragged me to the other wall,chained me to it to the loose chains . The chains were hanging from the ceiling and they were heavy. One of the men took out a pair of scissors from his back pocket.
"No please don't cut me, please d-don't ." I said backing up against the wall. The men in the room chuckled,i must have missed the joke.
" I'm not going to cut you, at least not yet." he smirked before reaching for one of my boots. He cut it open and removed it from my foot, Oh my Go- he could've just untied the flippen strings. He did the same to the other and then pulled my jeans down, leaving me in my sweater shirt .
" You sick pervert, don't fucking touch me or I swear ..."
"Amanda, your job here is easy. You tell me what I want to know and you'll go home, you don't, then you die ." the man from earlier said while pacing back and fourth, my eyes went back and forth, following him.
"Where are they located ? " he asked calmly as he lit his cigar, who's they ? I stayed mute, not knowing what to answer. He pulled on his cigar while stepping closer to me, trapping me between him and the wall. When he was close enough to me he blew the smoke on my face making me cough uncontrollably.
"See, if you tell me what I want to know Amanda, you'll be a free woman " he grabbed my face, speaking directly into my ear . His hot breath set a disgusted chill down my spine causing me to whimper.
"Where are the Reigns located ? " my eyes widen and I bit my lip to stop it from quivering. His ashy hand lowered down to my throat and he squeezed it, cutting off my air-flow.
"and don't bother lying to me because I know you work for them and also that you're Leonardo's whore, so surely you know the answer to my question." he stated, letting go of my throat making me gasp for air.
" You must have the wrong girl because I'm not Leonardo's or any body's whore and I'm sorry sir but I can't give out my employer's address, that's confidential information. Is there any other quest- " just then, the man kicked me in the gut, knocking the wind right out of me. I fell on all fours, one arm clutching my stomach as I gasped for air, drops of blood leaving my lips.
The man snapped his fingers and the chains started to pull me up until my feet were barely touching the floor, my arms burning from being stretched.
" You know Amanda, this rivalry that I have with the Reigns isn't even about business anymore, it's personal now. They took something from me, something I held Dearest to my non-existing heart. Trust me, I searched for them everywhere but they always managed to stay off the radar , well that is until I heard from a little birdy that Leonardo was in town with you. " he grinned when he said the last part.

" Now! Tell me, where are they ? My patience is running kind of thin little girl "
" Wait ! So you're telling me that with all the men you have, none of them have been able to locate the most popular family in the world ? Hey ! A piece of advice brother, find you a new crew . They clearly can't do their job right because if the tables were turned, I guarantee you that the Reigns would have found your ass real quick. They definitely wouldn't abduct a " little girl " to do their dirty work for them like a bunch of pussies . " i smirked at him as he stood before me, fuming.
" Okay, that's it " he said shoving his fist into my gut before slapping me across the face. He grabbed a handful of my hair and sent multiple blows to my face. A painful scream escaped my lips and blood trickled down my chin. He banged my head against the wall making me dizzy. If my mouth wasn't swollen shut, I probably would have told him what he wanted to know, the pain was starting to be unbearable. With my head hang low, tears started to come out of my now swollen eyes.
"You won't say anything huh? Okay, let's dance then sweetheart. Milo pass me the whip" within seconds I felt a leather whip come in contact with my bare thighs. I didn't even have the strength to scream or cry so I kept my mouth shut and took every hit .
My body became so numb from all the beatings that I zoned out, this is definitely not how I thought my life would end. I swore up and down to my parents that when I came to New York, I wouldn't hang out with the ' wrong people' but look at me now, chained to a wall, bruises covering my body, all in the name of love. Everything was going so perfectly in my life, well that's until I started working for the Reigns. After that everything took a turn for the worst.
My whole body was covered in bruises and cuts. Blood dripping from my head, all the way to my now dangling feet, making a pool of blood beneath me.
"You got that on tape ? Send it to him ." I heard the man say before he began to laugh, a sickening and hysteric laugh.
"You hear that? Your little boyfriend is going to see this and maybe, just maybe he might reveal his location. Well that's if he really cares about you, which I doubt but it's worth the try ." he said pulling my hair, forcing me to look at him. With the little strength I had left , I spat blood on his face before smirking. If I was going down, then I had to go out the hard way.
" Fuck you and the Reigns, you all can go to fucking hell " I said barely getting the words out because of my swollen lips. At this point, I honestly didn't care about anything. All I could think about was how heartbroken my parents will be when their daughter comes home after months, in a body bag.
" Go to fucking sleep " he barked before he elbowed me on the face, making everything around the room spin. I didn't even bother to fight the darkness, I let it consume me.
Leonardo's POV
"Leonardo, Elijah said somebody left this at the restaurant for you and it came with this note too" Luciano said handing me a DVD and a note. I opened the piece of paper and read the sloppy written message
What a loyal "employee" you have here, and I thought only members of your mob were supposed to be this loyal to someone like you.
I ripped open the paper and handed Leo, our tech guy the DVD.
"Play this, NOW !" Leo was quick to insert the DVD, clicking the file and viewing the video on the disk. Everyone watched the video in horror as Amanda got beaten to near death. I watched as someone barked questions at her, questions that could easily expose me and my family , questions that could leave us vulnerable but she kept her mouth shut.
I watched as Amanda screamed and begged for mercy with chains on both of her wrist, her hair was covered in blood and so was the rest of her body.
"FUCK !" I screamed, slamming my fist into the table.
"Switch that shit off ! Track it, do fucking something, j-just find her ! " I said before getting up and leaving the room. It's been 7 hours since Amanda's abduction and the whole family was here from New York to help me find the barstards that took her, also to keep me sane because I was slowly loosing my mind. I stepped out of the house and sat on one of the chairs that we had on the porch. I sat there hopelessly for nearly hours while watching the snow fall . My phone began to ring, bringing me out of my thoughts. Answering the unknown number, I heard breathing on the other side.
" Leonardo, it's been a long time " I heard that familiar voice, making my blood boil instantly.
" Rosco ! It's been a long time for a reason, now what the fuck do you want from me ? I'm not in the mood. " he let out a humorless laugh before scoffing.
"Oh no Leonardo. I'd watch what I was saying if I were you, especially since I have your woman and I have to give it to you man, you sure know how to pick them. This one is feisty, quite an eye catcher ." he said and I knew he carried a smirk.
"Rosco If yo- I swear to God, when I find you" I said through gritted teeth .
"Ooo, I'm so scared ! I'm literally shaking in my boots right now- FUCK YOU LEONARDO ! YOU KILLED MY WIFE ! NOW I'M SUPPOSED TO CARE ABOUT YOUR BITCH ?! N- YOU KNOW WHAT? I CAN FORGET ABOUT EVEN LOCATING YOU AND JUST KILL HER, JUST LIKE YOU DID TO MY WIFE " he barked through the phone before he hung up.
" Cazzo stupido idiota ! AH ! " I threw my phone ground.
I have to find her, Devo trovare la mia bella Amanda !
Hey guys, I hope you are doing well and I hope you enjoy this chapter. ❤️ My mom is in Hospital so I probably will be M. I. A again but I love you guys.
