Hey. I'm glad you decided to try this book. This authors note will be short. I'm new to wattpad and every vote and comment will really, really, really help.

I began writing on wattpad to take the first step in my writing hobby. I really had no expectations, didn't even expect to finish it. But i did, and you, readers, have helped me a lot. Writing has now become an integral part of me.
I know I still have a lot to improve on but at least I have the urge to keep going on.

English isn't my first language, so there will be grammar errors in this book, which I will correct as soon as possible.

This story involves swearing and violence. But I'm going to avoid going into complete gore.

Let me know what you think of the story and how I can improve it.

Lots of love,

Xoxoxo
Shade.

Jake woke up to a severe headache and the feel of dried blood across his cheek.
Through his half-opened eyes, he saw a man standing beside him with a knife in his hand. Jake squinted trying to see more clearly in the dark as his heart began to beat rapidly.

His hands were tied behind his chair. His legs, however, were left free. Clearly, he wasn't much of a threat to the man.

The last thing he remembered was being cornered by five guys he'd never seen before in his life and then everything went black.

"Good, you're awake." The man said as he began pacing around the room."I was afraid you were going to make a bigger fuss getting kidnapped, but looked like you're not as stupid as you look."

Jake didn't understand. What would he know that they would need?

"I think you have got the wrong person." He said as he tried to struggle out of the ropes. " I don't know anything."

"Yes. Yes, you do." He replied, barely paying attention to him. " I want to know about your friend or sister or whatever."

Jake's thoughts immediately went to only one person but he still asked, "Which one?"

"You know which one. Your pretty friend." He said slowly. "Diana. Dear, dear Diana."

"What do you want of her?" Jake asked gritting his teeth. He was really protective of his younger sibling. Anyone would be. And this man seemed to be the epitome of evil.

"She is a very important person and my boss wants her back. So, it's my job that he gets her." The man said. "But it's also my job to protect him. So if she is a threat, then I will have to take care of that."

Back? Jake wondered.

The man dragged a stool and sat right in front of him. He had a scar running down from his eye across his left cheek.

"So, you are going to tell me everything you know about her and trust me when I tell you, if anything you say is a lie... my face is the last thing you'll ever see."

Hey guys. Did you like this chapter? I hope you did. Oh and don't forget to vote and comment. Thanks for reading.

Keep in mind that this is the prologue so it's pretty short. The length of the chapters will increase as it goes on.

||A/N||- (update, 17 April 2019) Thank you guys so much for deciding to read this book. I hope you like it. I reached 50K reads about a week back and honestly, damn. This was my first book and it was mostly written because literally every book I came across on wattpad was about a crazy rich Mafia guy who fell in love with a woman and just had to get her. To be able to complete the book, itself was a big deal, to be able to reach out to a big audience was an even bigger one.
Anyway, hope you like it.

"Punch harder."

Diana gritted her teeth as she continued jabbing at the punching bag in front of her. She was punching as hard as she could. It had almost been a week since she was brought to that goddamn place.

"Alright. Take a break. I'll be back in five." Sid said as he threw her a face towel and a water bottle from the fridge.

Sid was her trainer; the only nice person in that hell hole. Though that was probably because he was the only one who could beat her up and not get in trouble with the boss. Cause it was just "training". At least he didn't give her weird looks like the others did.

She heard a click of the door getting locked as he left. She placed the cold bottle against her knuckles and almost let out a moan. She still had bruises from the early training. The first few days, she had no idea they had a training room. Sid had taken her outside and made her punch a tree, without any gloves.

Then, Diana refused to eat anything or train; giving them clear ideas on where they could shove up the bread and weapons. Later on, she realised she could do with a bit of training. Cause if she got a chance to escape, she wouldn't want it to fail because she was a skinny little girl who couldn't fight.

The training room was pretty big. Even though she was kidnapped and she probably shouldn't have liked it there at all, she liked the arena. At least compared to the dungeon that she slept in. Okay, it wasn't exactly a dungeon. It was furnished but there is no way light could enter the room at night.

"The boss says not to strain yourself," Sid said re-entering. Diana rubbed the sweat off her face and stood up to receive the next set of orders.

The boss.

This guy made it seem like she was an important person but still refused to meet her or tell her why she was kidnapped. And whenever she asked Sid when she could meet him, she got the same answer, "Soon."

And before she could argue, he would start yelling out orders.

"Do 30 crunches," Sid ordered.

That was probably the best exercise. It let her be alone with her thoughts and also she didn't have the fear of getting her face punched in. But on the bad side, she had never bothered to exercise before so this left her with pain in her abdomen making it hard for her to move, stretch or laugh, though the last one wasn't much of a problem.

After about three hours, she was taken back to her room. Usually, she went back and found darkness and a plate of stuff they considered edible. That day, however, there was someone else. Her heart stopped when she saw him.

Jake.

"What are you doing here?" She asked fearing the answer. "Did they hurt you?"

"No. I'm fine. For now." He said taking a deep breath. "I'm glad you're okay."

He pulled her into a hug. His heart was beating so fast, Diana could feel it.

"How'd they find you?" She mumbled into his shoulder.

"They found me before you." He replied, pulling away from the hug and looking away, "Asked me about you."

The way he said asked, she assumed it wasn't a normal talk.

"What did they want?" She asked.

"I don't know much. But I do know that the boss or whoever he is, wanted you. And now he's got you." He said worry clear in his eyes. " Do you think this has to do with your..."

He didn't have to finish the sentence cause we both had only one thing in our mind.

"I don't know. Maybe."

Whether it had to do with her real parents or not, Diana was adopted by Jake's parents after hers were apparently killed in a car crash. But a little digging done by Jake a few years back proved that theory wrong.

If rumours were true, her real parents were the most feared couple in town.

And they seem to have finally found her.

The above video is the trailer for this book made by Haadiiiyah !!!

A cover I made.

"What's the news?"

"They got her, sir. She is inside their headquarters, training, right now. "

Sebastian took a deep breath. He nodded, dismissing the informer.

The infamous Diana.

The only time he had met her was in the hospital when he was about a year old. There was a photo of him holding her on his lap looking up at whoever was taking the picture.

"Thinking about her again?" A voice interrupted his thoughts.

Andrew.

Sebastian's best friend. The only one he could truly trust in that place.

"I need to meet this goddess." He went on, dragging a chair to sit beside him. "No girl has ever made you think about her so much."

"I don't even know her, Andrew. I'm just worried."

"Why would you be? She is safe. She goes to school like any other eighteen year old. I mean, the only problems she should have is probably boyfriend/girlfriend trouble or passing an exam or getting into college. Right?"

Sebastian didn't reply.

"Right?" Andrew asked again.

Sebastian averted his eyes from Andrew's gaze.

"Oh come on, Seb!" He exclaimed as he got up off his chair with his hands up in the air. "It's the one thing I asked you not to do."

"I had to!" Sebastian snapped back. "It was either that group or this one. And trust me she is safer there."

"What are you talking about? That's the enemy. Why on earth would you think she is safer there?"

"Because if my father gets a hold of her, he will kill her."

"Because of the marriage thing? Shouldn't that just help? Why would he kill her when she is betrothed to you?"

Sebastian didn't reply. According to the rumours that went about the mafia, the both of them were betrothed to each other. It was probably just a joke between the two best friends, his mom and hers. And it probably wouldn't have been made that much of a deal off. If they were both still alive.

Just then someone knocked on the door. "Permission to enter." A high pitched voice yelled. Brianna.

"No!" Sebastian yelled back.

"Who is that?" Andrew asked. He had been out of town for a couple of weeks for managing the opening of another club.

"The reason my father would kill Diana on sight." Sebastian replied.

The knocking started again. "Permission to enter."

"No!"

"Sebastian, I can do this all day," Brianna replied.

"Ugh." Sebastian groaned as he got up from his bed and opened the door for her.

"Hey, sexy." She said walking inside.

"Hello." Andrew replied.

"That was for me." Sebastian told him.

"Was it? Now come on Seb. Was it really for you?"

Sebastian rolled his eyes at him.

"Hey, aren't you good looking." Brianna said, looking at Andrew.

"Yeah, I am. Also reserved only for boys." Andrew replied getting up to kiss her hand.

"Ugh." She replied. " Why do all the hot ones have to be gay."

Sebastian cleared his throat.

"Oh, right." Brianna said looking at him. "The boss wanted to talk to you."

"About what?" He asked.

"How am I supposed to know?" She shrugged indifferently.

Sebastian got up.

"Okay. Introductions. Brianna, this is Andrew, my best friend. Andrew, this is Brianna."

"Wait," Andrew said. He got up and walked to Sebastian.

"Why would she be the reason..." he whispered into his ear.

Sebastian walked towards Brianna. She was doing her nails. He tried to control rolling his eyes or gaging at the smell of nail polish, as he asked her to come to him. When she did, he put her arm around her and turned to Andrew.

"What?" Andrew asked

"We are going to get married when I turn 25." Sebastian said.

"Wait. But..."

"Yeah."

"But the other one is still..."

"Yeah."

"But he doesn't know..."

"Yeah."

"Oh."

Brianna looked lost. " What are you pieces-of-shit talking about?"

"Nothing. Go back to painting your nails." Sebastian said.

×××

Sebastian took a deep breath.

"Permission to enter." He said after knocking thrice.

"Come in." A gruff voice replied from inside the room."

Sebastian walked inside

"Hello, father."
