Queen Of The Underworld

chapter four

Bound by Shadows

Delphine's POV:

Alessandro, Amore, Alessa, Lorenzo, and Aurora walk into the cell, The three girls sit down and Alessandro and Lorenzo lean against the walls.

"How would your boss feel if you gave us information?" Amore asks, "He would kill us or at least try to," Isabel answered.

"We want to make a deal with you four," Lorenzo said, looking at me. "Why?" Antonio questions, "Because we need information and you are going to give it to us one way or another and in exchange, we will give you our protection," Lorenzo says, still looking at me.

"Can you all give us a minute to think?" Isabel asks looking at Alessandro, "You have five minutes" Alessandro says, in a low tone, and they all walk out.

"I think we should take that deal," Antonio says looking at me and Isabel and Matteo nod their heads in agreement. "Are you out of your rabbit ass minds we are not joining them" I say looking at them like they're crazy.

Because they are.

They have to be crazy because there's no way I'm working for Alessandro Russo, never in a million fucking years.

"You're just saying that because you don't want to take orders from him," Isabel says.

"Don't you want your revenge for the eight years of hell Adonis put you through?" Matteo asks in a quiet tone. I almost didn't hear what he said, we all looked at him shocked.

We all just look at him for a minute

I haven't heard Matteo speak a full sentence since the day I met him, which was eight years ago. Matteo isn't the talkative type. He prefers non-verbal communication over verbal communication. You'll be lucky if you get a full sentence out of him, he likes to stick to head nods, hand signals, sign language, or just one-word responses.

"Exactly so if anyone can help you get your revenge on him without dying it's Alessandro, so just accept the deal, We probably only have to kill a few people it's not like we haven't done this before," Antonio says moving around in his chair uncomfortably.

"He is right," Isabel says, looking from her brother to me. "Fine, we'll accept it," And just as I said the last word the cell door opened, and Lorenzo and Alessandro walked back in. "Have you made a decision?" Lorenzo asks as he sits down in the chair in front of me putting a brown folder on the table.

There's just a table separating us from him, Alessandro just stands in the doorway. I look at Antonio and nod my head signaling for him to speak. "Yes, we have.." He trails off, "We will take you up on your offer." He says looking at me

"Amazing," Lorenzo says, picking up the brown folder and placing four papers on the table in front of us. "What hand do you write with?" Lorenzo asks while looking at Matteo. "He writes with his right hand" Isabel answers, and Alessandro walks over to Matteo, taking the handcuffs off his right hand and handing him a black pen.

"Do you all write with your right hands?" Lorenzo asks looking at me, "No, those two write with their left and I write with my right," I say, gesturing to Antonio and Isabel. Alessandro walks over to them and takes the handcuffs off their left hands.

Then he finally gets to me and stops, "Are you going to try anything when I take these cuffs and zip ties off?" Alessandro asks, looking at me with a blank expression. "No, I couldn't even if I wanted to, That wouldn't be a smart move now would it?"

Alessandro doesn't say anything, he just takes out his knife, cuts the zip tie, and uses a key to unlock the handcuffs. As he was unlocking the cuffs the cold medal of his rings touched my hand.
