I roll my eyes and lift my feet onto Seb's couch, ignoring how he explains some break in to his soldiers just a couple of feet away from me. I press play again seeing that I almost beat my high score in crossy road.

This game annoys me so much, like I didn't even mean to press the screen and the stupid duck moved anyways.

I only started playing it to scare Ivy but then I started playing whenever I got bored, which seems to be a lot in the past week that me and Seb have been here.

I can't even face time Ivy because of this thing Seb put into my phone, to keep anyone from tracing it and hacking our location. No one should be able to message or call me unless they're really damn good at hacking. Seb's words not mine.

I let out a harsh breath as I watch my stupid duck get run over by some car, I swear i'm good at this game but sometimes I kill the duck just for fun.

I turn my phone off and let it fall onto my stomach, turning my head to watch Seb order the people around. Funny that they have no idea how he is when we're alone, a big, cuddly, soft and adorable boyfriend.

But as of right now, I watch how he glares so hard at the man he's directing that glare towards and he might as well be pissing his pants.

Pulling down my nike baseball cap to rest over my whole face as I close my eyes, resting my hands behind my head as I think.

I wonder where Nico is, like is he even okay?

Seb told me- no, sorry. Seb was telling the men and I eavesdropped on him telling them that Nico has been missing and all they have is some sort of note that has the 'ransom' they want for him, the time and place. Poor Nico is up for ransom, how'd he even get into this position?

I wonder how much money they want.

He'll be fine, he's crazy and he'd never let himself die before he finishes his weed and molly.

I hear the door of the conference room open and then after a few seconds it shuts again, the sound of footsteps quickly leaving the room as if they're scared Seb might blow up on them if they don't get away in time.

I groan when the hat is lifted off my face and the lights from the roof fill my vision, I go to reach for my baseball cap but Seb simply tosses it to the side.

I glare at him and he ignores it, "you're going back to the house." he uses his capo voice on me, the one he was just using on the men that ran for their lives. I cross a leg over the other before raising an eyebrow at him.

"Fix your tone," I demand of him, he's worried for Nico and I can see it on his face but that doesn't mean he'll be given a free pass to talk to me in such a rude tone.

Like I've said before, sometimes my amant switches himself out for the arrogant and much...Ruder Seb, but it's nothing that bothers me. I like all of him, even though this side of him is kind of annoying.

His jaw flexes but he doesn't say anything, I take a deep breath whilst getting off the couch. He crosses his arms over his chest and my eyes find his, "we'll find him, don't worry." I whisper.

Tugging his arms away from his chest, he lets out a small sigh as I wrap my arms around his torso. My hands sliding over his black button up as they slip into his blazer, and I place my head against the crook of his neck.

"Not we, I will and I need you to go back to the house." I roll my eyes as he speaks with a clipped tone, not one that shows much of any emotion, I grab his arms and wrap them around me when he doesn't hug me back.

When I don't say a word and wait for him to add a 'please' and kiss me he mutters something in spanish under his breath. Those muscular arms tighten around me as he rests his chin on the top of my head.

Finally getting somewhere.

"I need you to be safe, mi vida." Seb pauses and forces our eyes to meet as he tugs me back, I stare into the blue eyes I completely adore with my whole heart. His colder and more closed off expression and tone slowly fade away as he runs a hand through my hair.

A small sigh escapes my lips when he twirls a sandy blond strand of my hair around his finger, "can you please go back to the house?" he asks much nicer than the last time and I feel the corners of my lips tilting up.

I reach up, resting my elbow on his shoulder as I brush a piece of his dark hair away from his face. "Anything you say, amor," the words leave as a small whisper as I push myself up onto my toes and place a soft kiss on his lips.

His fingers comb through my hair and I practically sink into his body, kissing the corner of his lips next, "don't die," I kiss the tip of his nose.

The small laugh he lets out causes my eyebrows to furrow, "you have a way with your words, don't you?" he asks, and the sarcasm in his voice shows me my amant is shining right back through just like I wanted.

But before I could say anything the door swings open, Aleixo walks in as he fixes the blazer he has on. I rest my forehead against Seb's shoulder and groan at the sight of Lexi, I don't hate him. I know what he did in the club months ago was wrong but he apologised and showed me he was actually sorry.

And he quit drinking after that, so I guess it's genuine.

He's also one of Seb's most trusted men and I trust him, he kept me safe before and I know he'd do it again with no doubt.

"Stop being dramatic," Aleixo murmurs from behind Seb's body.

I let out a huge, dramatic breath before moving back a step and making eye contact with Seb again. He gives me a small smile that might as well be rare for others before setting a kiss on my lips.

My hands slide up his chest and I hear Aleixo mutter something inaudible. I ignore him.

Grabbing onto Seb's collar before tugging him down towards me so his ear close to my lips, "the second all this is over, I'll show you my way with words." I whisper, smiling when I hear him in suck a harsh breath.

Before he could even have the time to process what had just happened, I pulled back and fixed his collar. "Okay, bye now." I plaster a grin on my lips before pecking his lips and walking towards Aleixo.

God, I love playing with him.

I run my hand through Goose's fur while tapping my screen slowly to make sure the damn duck gets across the road without getting run over by some car.

I hate this game.

Then why're you playi-shut up, you're gonna make me lose.

Bitch.

Thank you

I groaned loudly before tossing my phone onto the bed beside me when my duck got run over by a train. I couldn't move, there was a car right in front of me, the game is rigged.

Goose lifts his head from my thigh and looks at me, tilting his cute head to the side a bit and I shrug. He huffs before resting back on me, I'm bored.

How does someone even kidnap a Nico, actually he probably went willingly because he thought it would be fun. I doubt they literally kidnapped him, because if they did then they deserve some 'top niconapper' award.

That man is crazier than crazy, he would cut off their fingers and carve out their eyes before letting them touch him and they somehow managed to capture him?

"Goose, do you think they actually niconapped him?" I ask the dog as if he'll reply, my baby looks at me before waiting a second in silence. A loud bark is all he lets out before resting his head on my thigh again.

I hum, nodding my head and crossing my arms over my chest. "I think you're right," I sigh. He's definitely right about this one, "I agree with you, I think they might have blackmailed him and forced him to go with them."

He's so smart. Not Nico, Goose.

Wait, if 'kidnap' is now 'Niconap' then wouldn't 'kidnapping' be 'Niconapping'?

You're not funny.

This is why I call you a bitch.

I was about to reply to the very rude comment consy made but before I could, I heard something falling onto the floor downstairs.

Goose jumps off my leg and stands on the bed facing the door, his guard position and stance up as he growls. My eyebrows furrow while running a hand through his fur, trying to calm him down.

But before I could tug him close to me he jumps off the bed, I gasp as he runs out of the room and I push myself off the bed.

Fucking hell Goose.

I don't even think before running out of the room myself, Aleixo had left because Seb told him that no one could find this place so how the hell is there sounds coming from downstairs?

I catch a glimpse of Goose's tail as he turns the corner at the bottom of the stairs, "Goose, stop." I yell-whisper but he doesn't halt in his beeline to wherever he is going. If anything he speeds up, running to wherever the sounds of footsteps are coming from.

I ran down the stairs and even before I could round the bottom of the stairs and run after the dog I heard a groan along with some struggling. What the actual fuck is going on?

A few seconds later the sounds stopped as I also stopped in the middle of the hall, looking around for where Goose could have gone, and who the hell is in the house.

I looked around me and the second I heard footsteps coming closer to me from behind I grabbed the white glass vase from the table beside me, dumping the flowers on the floor before holding it upside down.

Where is Akira and her combat fighting when you need it?

"If you hurt my dog, I swear to god." I warn whoever is in here slowly, turning around to face the direction of footsteps.

A tall person in all black walks around the corner and my grip on the vase tightens, no mask or anything, instead he's wearing a suit with a white button up under. Looking at me holding the vase with some sort of disgust.

Maybe he's the bitch here...

I agree.

"Where is he?" I snap asking about Goose. No one would be sick enough to hurt a dog, would they?

The man shakes his head at me whilst fixing his sleeves, "this is who my son chooses to bring into his home?" he questions, his blue eyes running over my body with an annoyed look as his hand starts pointing at me

Looking down to see my attire is also decent so why the hell is he blabbering like this? "Look man, I have no idea who you are, so just give me my dog and we can talk this out." I offer and he scoffs.

I hate people.

Wincing when I realise I left my phone upstairs so I can't even call Aleixo for help anymore, it's all me now.

"What is it with my son, and now even you and that stupid dog?"

Hold on...

His son? He isn't...Oh my god, he is, isn't he?

Normally I would have looked good and made sure that Seb's parents liked me but after how he told me they hurt him, I could care less. He didn't tell me exactly what they did but I know they did enough to turn my amant into who he was when I came back months ago.

Before I could say something, someone walked into the hall from behind me and I cursed the house for having so many hallways, I looked over my shoulder with a glare.

But it melted as soon as I saw him literally drop an unconscious Goose onto the ground, my eyes widened as Goose hit the floor with a loud 'thud' sound.

I could care less about the vase I dropped onto the ground and ran over to Goose, running my hands over his fur as I pressed my middle and index finger against his neck, looking for a heartbeat.

Fuck, fuck fuck fuck.

"I'm going to kill you," I breath out, the person who dropped Goose on the floor steps over him like he's dirt on the ground and stands next to the man I presume to be Seb's dad. Disgusting that he'd do this to Goose, knowing how much he means to Seb.

"No need to be dramatic, it's just passed out, we only used acepromazine" Seb's father rolls his eyes and my blood almost boils when he calls Goose an 'it'. Bitch ass motherfucker.

Before I could snap back to that, he cut off my unspoken words. "Now, if you don't want me to empty out all my bullets on him, you'll get up, and come peacefully with me." he fucking smiles as his lap dog looks down as if he's ashamed of what he's just done.

He should be, a dog, they hurt a fucking dog and now are threatening to kill him. Sick.

"What is wrong with you?" I grit as tears fill my vision, I hug Goose to me and run a shaky hand down his side as he lays on the ground, lightly breathing.

He chuckles, and the second I hear a gun reloading my head snaps towards him. Seeing he's far from joking with me about shooting Goose. Jesus, what the hell is wrong with this man? "Five seconds to decide, you want him to live then stand up and let Walker chloroform you" he nods to the man beside him.

Lamest Abbynapping ever. Not now.

I take a deep breath, my brain isn't even working but all I know is that if I don't stand up right now they'll kill Goose.

I lean down and press a kiss to Goose's fur, hoping someone will be here by the time he wakes up and checks if he's okay.

I get up and the man holding a gun to his son's dog points for Walker to do the job, I watch as he pours some chloroform on some cloth and walks closer to me with a look screaming 'sorry'. Instead of being sympathetic I glare at him.

My jaw locks when he grabs the back of my head and forces the cloth against my nose, goddammit please someone be here when Goose wakes up.

I don't fight it when I know there's no way I can get out of this situation, black dots fill my vision and my eyes fall to him tucking his gun away.

Walker grabs onto me when I start falling, the last thing I remembered before everything went dark was how he smirked at me, how he whispered 'I win'.

What the hell?
