Taken By The Mafia Lord

Chapter 478

478 Taken By You

This new found relationship between her and Daniel was weird yet exciting at the same – even though it wasn’t supposed to be. He intrigued her and she longed to learn more about him, however, Natalie still put up her guards. She couldn’t entirely trust him, that was for sure. The man was trouble and a criminal, those were enough reasons to avoid him.

He kept his promise of not telling her mother what she was up to and for some strange reasons, none of his men patrolled that area whenever she wanted to sneak out as if they already learned her routine. They knew whenever she snuck out and made themselves invincible giving her the illusion that she was able to sneak out easily. However, Natalie was no fool and knew that Daniel had a hand in it. Why was he doing this? It was confusing as hell.

At the same time, Natalie made sure no one was able to track her activity. Lately, she has been feeling eyes on her and because she didn’t want to draw attention to Edward, she made sure to lead her stalker away before she made it to their dates – or his place. She knew this was all Daniel’s doing and felt protective towards her boyfriend. Daniel was a dangerous man and she didn’t want him messing around with Edward.

Today again, she felt those eyes on her and walked in circles for about an hour before she was able to confuse her stalker. What was Daniel’s problem? What does he want with her whereabouts when he claimed he would keep her secret? What if he was lying and was reporting her activity to her father?

However, her bad mood was washed away after she spent time with Edward. Natalie couldn’t explain it, but whenever she was around him, she felt at peace. Edward reminded her of home, warm and cozy, unlike that annoying criminal Daniel that manages to get under her skin. And why was she even thinking about that asshole? Gosh, she had to stop this.

The evening came too soon and as agonizing as it was to separate from Edward, she had to go home before it was late. Thanks to sneaking out of the house, Natalie didn’t drive which meant that she would have to catch a bus and a damn taxi afterward to get to her place. After the last incident where she unhappily got acquainted with Daniel, Natalie learned never to be learned. Moreover, her mother might ground her once again if she hung out too late.

Although she was sure her mother probably had no idea that she was out alone – Daniel always managed to cover up her ass. Why does he do that? She has no idea? He was probably so bored with his big scary attitude that he decided to play nice for once. That was not her business. As far as it worked in her favor, it was none of her business.

Natalie was standing by the bus stop alongside other people waiting for the bus when a car suddenly stopped in front of her and before she had the chance to ask questions, two men jumped out of it with their faces covered and got a hold of her on both sides.

“Wait?! What?! What is going on here?! Who are you?! Where are you taking me?!” Natalie threw questions after questions, while struggling against them. However, it was no use because the men were stronger than her and they pulled her towards the car while the witness watched on, without doing anything.

.....

Seriously, fucking humans! She was getting kidnapped right in front of them and they weren’t even making any effort to rescue her?!

Honestly, Natalie thought at first that it was Daniel’s men pulling some sort of cruel prank on her until she saw the cold look in their eyes and knew at that moment that something wasn’t right. However, Natalie didn’t have to worry about people rescuing her because they pressed the drugged handkerchief against her nose and she lost consciousness.

When Natalie finally came around, she was seated down on a metal chair with her mouth gagged, her hands and legs tied up and she was unable to break out free. What the hell was going on here? She knew that her father’s ambition put the whole family at risk of being kidnapped and used to demand ransom which was why their mother emphasized their safety, however for such a thing to happen in a foreign country where she was hardly known was shocking. Of all places to be kidnapped for the first time, she never thought of here. Natalie assumed that she was safe, but that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore.

Natalie made loud noises in the back of her throat even with the clothes painfully digging into her mouth, restricting her from making a coherent speech. She needed an explanation and was going to receive one whether those assholes liked it or not. She was in some sort of abandoned warehouse. Geez, why do these psychopaths have to use creepy places like this one? If they killed her here, it would take long for people to identify her until she began to rot.

Her noise finally paid off because one of the men who she surmised as the leader with his intimidating aura came in and she looked at him boldly. Her mother always scolded her about the fact that she was too damn stubborn for her good and right now, she wasn’t going to fear this good-for-nothing scumbag. She was a Valeria, and they knew no fear because their money could solve all of their problems.

The leader came around to yank down the gag around her mouth and she flexed her hurting jaw before saying casually,

“Name your price, my father would have it delivered in the blink of an eye. However, you might have to reconsider the way you treat me around here else you might regret it in the long run.” There was a threat to her voice but the hardened look in the man’s eyes told her that he was anything but intimidated. Alright, that was going to be a hard nut to crack.

The man chucked all by himself, “Now I see why he’s taken by you. ”

“Eh?”
