You just got played.
I looked over my shoulder and I see Ricardo quickly looking down as he muttered 'sorry', but masking his real voice. I roll my eyes and look back to the waiter.
He's staring at him and I have to clear my throat for his attention. "I'll have chicken strips and fries, thank you." I force a smile. My attitude changed real quick knowing one of them are here. I pass him the menu and look towards Vlad. "Surprise me." He says and then looks towards his drink and takes it, while taking a tiny sip, but then downing the whole glass. "And more of this."
"Yes boss." He quickly leaves and I take a deep breath in while I get comfortable on the seat. "How many men work for you. Clearly you have men working for you, but like, I guess you can say 'undercover'." I said air quoting undercover while taking a sip from my tea.
"I rather not say. Not until I know your name." He said while he played with the empty glass while looking at me.
"Mhm. Don't trust me?" I raised an eyebrow.
"There's many people I don't trust, including you. You never know." He said as he face was turning dark, and his eyes slowly turning emotionless.
"Why, I clearly don't even know my name. How can you not trust me? I'll probably forget what we were talking about."
"Why do you want know? Mhm, for that guy that walked in. Or should I say one of Vincenzo's men." Now his face went completely blank while he sits back and stares at me. My heart complete dropped while I breathed out in a whoosh.
"W-who?" My hand clamped harder around the glass and my muscles tensed.
"We've been through this before Ever. Vincenzo always plays the same cards. Nothing new. Same trick, same thing. It's not hard for me to see his men. It's not like he hides his men good. And this, this is childs play. You set yourself up by drinking the tea, that my men just drugged. You just sent yourself up by coming with me. Like come on. I thought that the guy was smarter. I had you looked up the minute you went with Vincenzo to Leo. My men are everywhere. My eyes are everywhere. I have eyes on everyone. No one is unseen. Like Vincenzo. So, good night."
My body was turning limp and I couldn't knock myself out of it. I started to relax my hand and slump against the chair and my eyes started to turn droopy.
"I...i...."
"No. Go asleep, I'll make sure Vincenzo knows." I heard yelling and I looked at Vlad and see him standing up pulling out a gun from his waist band. "I'll make sure." He aimed it at me but my head slammed down, making me sleep.

~Vincenzo~
"Where are you now?" I asked as I walked towards the balcony looking out to the ocean.
"Well, Ricardo went in, and I'm still waiting outside." Edwards said.
"Well, get her out of there. I don't want her there anymore. Take her out now." I clicked and clenched my jaw as I held the railing.
Time was ticking and the wind was blowing through my hair and blew gently across my face. I tapped my foot as I watched the waves crashed and I was getting irritated.
Eating lunch with him!? What the actually fuck!?
I looked down to my phone and was about to call Edward but he called me first. "What!" I said. I was already flustered and annoyed. I wanted to leave this damn place.
"Guess who figured it out again."
"Don't fûckin play with me."
"Why would I play with you. They shot two people in here. Took her. Vlad is out of sight. Me and Ricardo barely made it out. Open your door." I clicked and rushed towards the door.
I swung it open and I see them rushing in and pushing past me. I slammed the door shut and grew furious. "YOU COULDNT GET HER!"
"There's a thing called getting drugged and snatched away Boss." Ricardo said while he took a deep breath in.
"They drugged her!?"
"Well that's clearly what I said. So-"
"Shut the fuck up! Do you know where he took her!?"
"I told you on the phone." Edward said, "he was out of sight. I didn't even get to see because I was too busy trying to survive."
"SO HE HAS HER RIGHT NOW!?"
"Well do you see her-" I pulled out my gun and shot him in leg.
He screamed in pain while collapsing on the floor. "I already been shot in the ass by you!! Now my fuckin leg!!" He screamed.
"Shut up before I shoot you in the other leg." I looked back to Edward and grabbed his shirt and pushed him towards the laptop here.
"Find her." I grabbed my phone and started to make phone calls. I'm calling my men.
*****
I had to fly back. I didn't want too, but I had too.
I rushed in the club and walked up stairs.
I slammed the door hard against the wall and that made him jump with the girl on his lap. "Get out." She quickly rushed out and I slammed the door closed.
"No why the-"
"Shut the fuck up."
"What the-"
"Listen!" I stood in front of his desk while he looked up at me. "I need you to grab your men. You're coming with me. We need business to attend to."
His eyes lit up while he stood up. "So, who's messed with you?"
"Someone who's going to be dead now." I turned around and walked towards the door. "We're leaving in two hours Leo. I expect you there at the jets."
"I'll be there Boss."
*****
I did that with all the clubs I owned and I went to the main frame and grabbed more men in main floor and other halls that I knew my men worked at or just relaxed there.
****
I had some of them grab guns and ammo while I had other load the jets.
We were all ready and it was me who said to go or not. I waited for all the men to pile in the jets. We had fûckin twelve jets filled with men.
Looks like we are going to fûckin war.
Well, maybe we are.
No one messes with me. I never had anyone take a women from me. This is the first. How the fuck do I let that happen?
Oh right. I fûckin let jealousy get in the way.
Once the jets were filled, I walked towards the first one and climbed in. Leo and his men were piled in the back, and they left one front seat open for me. I took a seat and that's when I told the pilot to go.
Let's go to fûckin war.
