My Masters' Nightmare, Season 1 / Episode 14 by Marita A. Hansen Page A

The Donatelli twins attacked her when she was
younger, almost killing her. She wanted to send out word to Christo
that she was still alive so he would come after her, but I refused
to let her. That’s probably why she took off without telling
me.”
    “ Does she know where the
Donatelli Don is?”
    “ No idea .” I turned to Camila, holding my
phone out for her to take. “Contact your uncle. If he has Rita, I
need to know.”
    She took it and rung through. After
several seconds, she hung up. “He’s not answering.”
    “ Try your other
uncle.”
    She entered the Padre ’s number, then put the phone to her ear.
“ Zio ,” she said, saying uncle. She paused, a frown creasing her
brow. “Who is this?” Her eyes widened. “Why do you have my uncle’s
phone?” Her face dropped, then rage took over her features. “You
give her back or I’ll hunt you down and kill you!” A burst of curse
words shot out of her mouth. She removed the phone from her ear and
keyed in a number.
    “ What’s happened?” I
asked.
    “ The Black Russian has my
sister, Matteo, and my uncle Michael. He said he owns them, then
hung up.” She put the phone to her ear.
    “ What about Christo and
Thierry?”
    “ He didn’t mention them.” She
started talking into the phone: “I will pay for my sister’s return.
Call me,” she said, sounding like she was leaving a message. She
hung up a second later, her attention returning to me. “If he
doesn’t call back, you have to help me save my sister. I don’t care
about the others, but Andriena’s too sweet to be with a man like
that. She’s already been brutalized by the Santini
soldiers.”
    “ I’ll get her back for
you,” Jagger said.
    “ How?”
    “ The Black Russian likes me. I
can work out a deal in exchange for her return.”
    “ Then call him,” she said, holding
out my phone.
    I snatched it out of her hand before
Jagger could take it.
    “ Frano! Give it back,” she
yelled, trying to get it off me.
    I stepped back and stuffed it into my
pocket, snapping, “Stop it! I’ll deal with the Black Freak when I
get back.”
    “ I can do it,” Jagger replied.
    “ No. Only I can speak to
him.”
    “ Then phone him,” Camila said.
“It’ll only take a few minutes.”
    “ It’ll take much longer than
that, plus Rita’s in worse danger if she’s gone looking for
Christo. It can wait for now.”
    “ No!” She turned to Jagger.
“Please, baby, you have to call him for me.”
    I pointed a finger at him. “If
you listen to her, you’ll end up with the Black Russian’s cock up
your culo .”
    Jagger’s eyes widened. “Watch what you say
to me!”
    “ I’m not insulting you. That
Black Freak will lie through his teeth to get you, like he did with
Raphael. I bet he’ll offer Andriena as long as you go collect her,
then once you set foot inside his home he won’t let you
leave.”
    “ He let me leave the last time
we visited .”
    “ Only because I agreed that the
Black Guards could come with us, otherwise you would still be
there.”
    Jagger frowned. “I thought they
came to protect me from the Padre .”
    “ I led the Black Freak to
believe that so he’d let you leave. I gave him the impression you’d
return with them. When he realized it wasn’t going to happen and
his guards were powerless here, he started offering all that money
for one night with you.”
    “ Fuck, I had no idea. Then how are we
going to get Andriena back?”
    My mind went to Alessandro’s brother.
Brando was a hired gun, who could get in and out of the most secure
places without being detected, even high security prisons. He’d
killed a convict in a hit, then had broken a crime boss out, the
escape sheer brilliance.
    “ I have someone in mind who can help us,” I
said, “but before I talk to him I must find Rita. I can’t
concentrate on anything until I have her back.”
    “ But the Black Russian will be hurting my
sister,” Camila cut in.
    “ My woman first, Andriena
second,
