Chapter 18

Crystal's POV:

Today, I asked Alex to meet me. I don't know what would happen in the future so I just feel like telling him everything about myself. I hope he won't react too much.

I was sitting in the Cafe near Empire Group. It's the first time I'm feeling so nervous damn, I wasn't nervous when I confessed. Maybe because I'm afraid he will leave me.

He entered the cafe. I waved at him and called him there. "Alex, I wanna tell you something about me", I said nervously. "Sure", he said. "Not here. Let's go to my Villa", I said and he nodded. We headed to mu Villa.

"Yeah, tell me", he said once we settled on the sofa in the living area. "Alex, what do you who I am?", I asked. "CEO of Empire Groups and C.E Groups", he said and I nodded. "You remember everyone called me Princess in the restaurant?", I asked and he nodded.

"I'm the Mafia Princess of the underworld", I said and his eyes widened. "Y-You are that ruthless Princess?", he asked and nodded. "See, I might be ruthless and merciless but it's just for the people who try to hurt my loved ones or me. I will never hurt you so please don't be scared of me. I myself will die but I'll not let anyone hurt you", I said but he didn't seem convinced.

"You think I'll believe? Everyone says that you kill without thinking twice", he said. "I.... I'm not what they say... I mean I don't go on killing innocent people...", I tried to convince him.

"What did you do to the girl who flirted with me?", he asked. I looked down and said in an inaudible voice, "I cut her hands and ripped her eyes." He looked at me and asked, "What? What did you do?"

"That's not important. I'll not let anyone hurt you or Alen. That's more important. I just want you to know that I'll never hurt you both at any cost", I said but he didn't seem to believe me. "I swear I'll never hurt you", I said to him.

"I thought you're nice even though you seemed cold but I never thought your truth would be like this", he said. "I'll change for you, if you want but please don't look at me like I betrayed you because I can never betray you", I said.

"But you did", he said. "You betrayed the trust of the small kid who always says that you're the most nicest person. You betrayed me by not telling anything about you earlier. I never thought that you'd be like that", he continued.

I took my gun out and pointed towards him. "Are you going to kill me now?", he asked but I nodded in no and gave him the gun. "Since you think I betrayed you, kill me because Betrayal is a sin and sins are unforgivable", I said.

"You think killing can end everything?", he asked. I knelt and said, "It's the rule of Blood Empire, my gang that whoever betrays you will have to die." He looked at me with disgust and said, "You're impossible."

He got up and started going out but my bodyguards stopped him. "I'm leaving for Libya tomorrow", I said. "What do you want me to do then?", he asked. "Nothing, I wish I could hear you say you love me because I might not come back", he said.

"Why?", he asked. "I don't know. Maybe I might die because it's a difficult mission. If I don't come back please don't hate me too much", I asked. "...", he was silent. "Let him go", I ordered and my bodyguards moved aside. "Even if you want to go I won't let you. Baby, you can't run away!", I said to him.

I went home and got ready for the mission. We discussed about the plan and everything. First, James and dad will go to Italy to take care of Lorenzo as he has been messing around from a few days. I and Sean will be going to Libya to take care of the matter there about Aabid.

Aabid has his gang base in Libya as it's easier for him to do illegal things at some place there which is less guarded. He is on the top list of people doing illegal things.

"So, I, Jacob, William and Sean will leave in the morning", I said and everyone nodded.

Next morning, I got ready and went to the airport. The private jet was ready. "Take care. Don't get into trouble", James said and I nodded. "I know what happened with you and Alex. Don't worry, everything will be fine. I'll take to him after the mission", he said. "Hope so", I sighed.

"If he doesn't understands I'll kidnap him for my baby princess", he said and I chuckled. "Keep smiling", he said with a smile and kissed my forehead.

We boarded the flight and all the way I was just thinking about Alex and Alen. He didn't call me or come to meet. Was he really angry and upset with me? I never betrayed him. I'll make him understand once I'm back.

We reached Libya and went to our Villa there. We rested for a while and next day, I discussed everything about the next step. "We can't do anything until they have those people", I said to him.

"What's the next step?", William asked. "We gave to get into their base tomorrow. The mission in Italy will be over by tomorrow then we'll start here", I said to them and everyone nodded.

"I'm going out. Don't follow me", I said to my bodyguards. "But princess, it's dangerous for you to go out now", they said. "I can take care of that", I said and they didn't have any option but to obey.

I was walking when I saw some guys picking up girls forcefully and taking them in their van. I followed them with my car and it was some abandoned building. I got out of my car and saw those men taking the girls into the building then they came out again.

I looked around my surrounding and checked if anyone was watching then I climbed onto the walls of the building. It was easy for me as I was wearing shorts and tee with boots. I went inside to find about 20 girls there. All chained.

"What's happening here?", I asked to one of the girl. "la 'afham al'iinjlizia (I don't understand English)", the girl said. "madha yahsul hna? hal aikhtatafak shakhs ma? (What's happening here? Did someone kidnap you?", I asked.

"hwla' rijal eabid (Those are men of Aabid)", she said. I gave a confused look. "'iinahum yukhtifun alfatiaat min alshawarie wayaghtasibunana kla yawmin (They kidnap girls from street and rape us everyday.)", she said. I gritted my teeth and clenched my fist in anger.

"laqad qutiluu hataa eayilatna. 'iinahum ghyr 'iinsaniiyn (They even killed our families. They are inhuman)", another girl said. "ln 'urhamahum (I'll not spare them)", I said with gritted teeth.

"min 'anat? (Who are you?)", a girl around 18 year old asked. "'ana 'amirat alealam alsuflii (I'm the princess of underworld", I answer and they gasped. "la tuqaliq , ln 'awdhik. (Don't worry, I won't harm you)", I said and they looked at each other and then nodded.

I discussed a few things with them and then I left assuring them that I'll save them. I can't let that man destroy so many innocent lives. Tomorrow, we'll be doing as planned. Tomorrow is the day of judgement.
