" Yes. Alright. Good." She only said three words before hanging up her cell phone. She turned to face the group again but this time she turned super cheerful like she just received a happy news.

" Who was it?"

" I don't think you should know but they told me about some known disturbances in far side of the city. We Bratva never openly survey uninterested people but we know quite a lot about different markers in the city. If they start to make a move we know something is happening." Anastasiya added.

" I also talked with someone named Steve. He told me that he would soon send me their location. He said he worked for boss." Raphael interjected.

" You talked to Steve already that means he didn't exactly go there without informing anyone. What should we do then?" Mayra asked.

" Nothing. We should leave him alone for now. No, we should stay far away from him as possible. I am sure he also wants us to the same." Kayla looked at each of them before declaring. She knew they should act oblivious so as to not raise any suspicion. She didn't know who would come after them if they made their presence known.

Such things could easily got out of hand if they were not careful.

" She is right. This is my time to shine. You should head home and wait for the good news." Anastasiya announced and said it with a determined look. There was no playfulness in her voice like she turned into a completely different person after the phone call.

" What should I do? Should I go back to my hotel?" Disha asked suddenly. She didn't know if she would be able to get away safely. They felt like kind of people who would do anything to bury the truth.

" You should come with me. I will send you to his residence on the way there, it would be easier that way." Anastasiya added.

" You are not going to harm me right? I mean, I can just forget this ever happened." She looked around meekly stating her obvious fear about this whole situation.

Everyone looked at her for a second before they started laughing out loud. It was good to use humour to dampen the tension, Disha provided just the right amount of it to calm their mood.

" Honey, we are not that kind of people. Why would we ever try to harm such a pretty girl?" Kayla commented with a slight grin. Read new adventures at empire

" Stop it! you are making it worse." Mayra nudged her with an angry look.

" Alright, we don't have much time. I will go home and discuss these things with my father. We have to have a strategic meeting in push came." Delphina also added with a serious tone.

She knew Samuel and trusted him completely but at the same time, she wouldn't let her recently acquired empire crumble if something did happen to him. She was anxious about him but at the same time, she couldn't ignore her company afterall there were many people who would be depending on her.

" You should also take her with you. I will also go back and talk to my father to see if he knows something about this. I am sure he wouldn't turn down his own daughter's request." Sharon commented while pointing toward Alexis.

The circumstances urged them to mend their previous strained relationship. Even though Alexis was an enemy of some sorts, she could become a perfect asset for Delphina in dire situations.

" We should also go. We couldn't leave them in the dark. I will make up some excuses. There is also the matter of Elise being feeling left out these past few days. She is missing him terribly which is why we have to be there to sooth him." Mayra spoke for both her and Kayla.

Kayla only nodded knowing this time, she wouldn't be much help to him. If she did get her friends involved they would surely ask for her source of information. She knew it was not wise to stir up the pot without discussing things with Samuel after all he left them out for a reason.

Raphael first decided to escort everyone back to their home before joining Anastasiya on their destination. Meanwhile, Anastasiya was busy calling favours trying to gauze for any signs of trouble. All she knew was approximately fifty men heading to that location fully armed.

They even had a large vehicle with them which could be holding sufficient firepower to level a small town. Whatever they were planning was not going to be pleasant. She hopped into her Lamborghini and called Ivar.

It's been few days since their dinner and when she met her nine year old son, Alexei. She knew from their pattern, they would still be in the city for a week probably because her son liked to play around for few days before returning back to Russia.

She was only allowed to see her son for one day each month, that was part of her punishment for defying orders but right now she was feeling restless. She couldn't let anything happen to Samuel, her only hope to get back her son for good after all he was the only good thing that happened during her marriage to that bastard!

" Hello? You know you are not suppose to contact me right?" Ivar's solemn voice came through the speaker. He heard the loud rumbling of powerful engine but it didn't shock him, he knew just talking with her was him breaking the rules.

" I know but I need your help. Just point me in the right direction. I have some money to splurge." Anastasiya said in a flat tone.

Ivar sighed, he thought she finally snapped and wanted to do something about her son but it seemed she wanted his help with other things but right at that moment, he felt something was wrong.

" You know, if you are trying to trick me you will pay dearly. I might be tolerating your behaviour but others are not happy seeing you have fun in this foreign country, their idea of revenge is a lot brutal than just keeping your son hostage." Ivar warned her not to play any tricks. He knew unlike her bizarre appearance, she had a sharp mind. If not, she would have died long time ago.

" Damn it bastard! I don't have time to argue with me. Just send around twenty men. I will send you the location, they have to be discreet and skilled. I don't want this leaking out to 'them'."

" About the pay-"

" I don't have a upper limit. Just tell them the mission is dangerous and they should be prepared for anything. You have one hour." She said her piece and hung up.

Ivar looked at the screen for a while contemplating if he should help her or not. She might be a conniving women but she was never so desperate for anything other than her son. He finally decided and started shifting through his contacts to find a suitable candidate.

" Now, I have to think about whether to tell this to those old bastards or not." He clenched his head mulling over this thought.

In the meantime, Samuel came out of the room along with three girls to meet the others. He barely had time to clean himself before he felt a heavy thud which came from downstairs. He knew what it meant, someone had broken through the heavy metal door!
