Chapter 17 - The Blood Ransom
I completely gracefully glided completely across the massive, highly polished dance floor, entirely entirely ignoring the wealthy criminals surrounding me. I aggressively approached the private, heavily guarded VIP bar where Silas Vane was entirely holding court with his corrupt associates. He completely noticed my approach, his dead eyes heavily scanning the incredibly elegant crimson dress with highly arrogant, absolute disdain. I smoothly removed the delicate black lace mask, entirely revealing my face completely to the man who had violently stolen my child. Silas completely stiffened in absolute, unadulterated shock, entirely entirely dropping his expensive crystal glass heavily onto the mahogany bar. He heavily wildly signaled his elite perimeter guards, completely completely terrified that I had somehow completely bypassed his massive security grid. I completely smiled a deeply cold, absolutely terrifying smile, entirely pouring myself a glass of expensive champagne with completely steady hands. I calmly completely informed him that Luca had heavily entirely signed the massive digital transfer of the global syndicate exactly ten minutes ago. I was completely heavily supposedly here to personally securely retrieve my son and entirely peacefully walk away from his massive empire. Silas completely relaxed, entirely heavily laughing a deeply cruel, absolutely sickening laugh of pure, unadulterated arrogant triumph. He completely heavily taunted me, entirely aggressively explaining how incredibly easy it was to heavily buy my flesh and blood from a traitor. He entirely completely proudly revealed that Evelyn had heavily sold the child completely to heavily ensure the Moretti bloodline was permanently fractured. I completely heavily kept him entirely talking, aggressively feigning absolute, crushing defeat to heavily distract his entire massive security focus. Deep below the incredibly thick, highly fortified steel hull of the massive superyacht, Luca and an elite dive team were heavily breaching the ship. They had completely entirely aggressively utilized highly advanced, completely silent underwater tactical equipment to entirely bypass the massive surface sonar. Silas aggressively leaned completely across the bar, entirely whispering that he was absolutely never going to heavily return the boy to me. He completely heavily intended to aggressively raise Enzo entirely as a purely ruthless, highly violent Corsican assassin to completely eventually kill Luca. The sheer, absolute magnitude of his deeply sickening, entirely purely psychopathic evil completely entirely solidified my fierce resolve. I entirely seamlessly entirely slid the highly sharp ceramic blade completely out of the heavy silk folds of my beautiful red dress. Before Silas could completely aggressively react or heavily call for his guards, I violently entirely drove the heavy blade deeply into his arrogant hand. He completely screamed in absolute, terrifyingly agonizing pain as I aggressively pinned his hand completely to the heavy mahogany bar.
