Chapter Sixteen | Bonus Chapter
*Hello all! Here is a bonus chapter and a peek at Ted and what he does.*
Ted
I awoke to a pounding in my head. The last thing I remember was having Violet on my lap as my hands up and down her silky legs as my lips moved over her soft skin. After that, nothing. I was still in the room I had her in, only I was lying on the floor. I used my elbows to lift myself up, only to get dizzy. Slightly shaking my head and bringing my hand up to my face, I felt something wet and sticky on my fingers. Moving my hand in front of me, I saw blood on my fingers and hand. Cursing to myself, I slowly got up, only to stumble onto the wall. Placing my forearm on the wall to steady my balance, I blinked my eyes to focus on the scene in front of me. Looking out the cracked door, I could see Cody lying there, not moving.
"Fucking hell!" I muttered as I used the wall for support to walk toward the door. Looking down, I could see the rise and fall of Cody's chest. Thank god he was alive. I needed him if I was going to get Violet back. That little slut thought she could out smart me? Me? She has another thing coming.
"Cody!" I called as I used my foot to move his leg. He didn't move at first, but after nudging him a few more times, he jolted awake.
"What the fuck man?!" He groaned as he grabbed his head. Lucky for him, it looked like he was only knocked out from a choke hold.
"They're fucking gone!" I spat, furious at the fact they got one up on me. Where the hell were my guys when all this happened? I needed an emergency meeting stat. "What?!" Cody sat up quickly, grabbing his head. "How did they get past the others?"
"I don't know.” I cracked my neck. "We will find out though." I gritted my teeth as I squinted my eyes out to the training room where everyone was supposed to be.

I had all the men that were with us at the facility on their knees in front of me. I could see the fear in their eyes as they shook with fear. Me, on the other hand, was filled with rage at that point. When she got away, she would go to the feds and all my hard work would go down the drain. I can not let that happen. I have to get her back and keep her quiet. No, she does not know what I do, but she doesn't need to know. The only thing she needed to do was keep her legs open for me. "Anyone care to explain what the fuck happened back there?!" I spat as I walked down the line of trembling me, my gun in my right hand on my side.
No one wanted to speak up. They knew better than to piss me off. If they said the wrong thing, they knew it was a bullet to the head for them. Tapping my gun on my thigh, I stopped in front of one of my men. "Chavo." I stood in front of him as he looked up at me with nervous eyes. "Anything to say?" I glared at him.
"No, Capo." He lowly said. That was all I needed to hear to put a bullet in his head. As his body fell to the floor with a thud, I saw all the other men tense up. I slowly backed up so I could see all of them.
"Let that be a lesson to anyone who dares to cross me." I said with authority. "Cody." I called over my shoulder. "Clean this up. We have a meeting in an hour."

"What the hell do you mean 'you lost the shipment'?!" I shouted as I stood from my desk. We were back at my mansion in West Palm Springs going over recent shipment orders.
"It was there when I checked last night, Capo. I swear!" The pathetic piece of shit Cody hired to over see shipments sputtered out. I was done with excuses. Not having Violet with me was making me even more irritable. Not wanting to deal with the sorry excuse, I took out my gun and put a bullet between his eyes. Yes, I know, there goes another employee. Cody will just have to look for better help. No more excuses. As I was cleaning my gun, Cody walked into the room. "Another one?" He ran his hands over his face in frustration. "He was even better than the last one." He said in exasperation.
"Well, if they didn't lose my shipments then there would be a problem." I shrugged, opening my drawer and placing my gun in the lock box. Cody walked over to my bar and poured some whiskey, walking over and handing me a glass. He took a seat in the chair in front of my desk as I said in my office chair.
"Any news?" I asked. Cody has someone on the inside at the FBI who told us every move they made regarding us. So far, nothing has been said.
"If she said anything, it was not to the feds. She probably went to the local PD and that would take longer since they don't have shit on you."
"Good. We don't need anymore snitches in the mix." I exhaled as I gulped down my whiskey. Recently, I found out that it was one of my closest men who helped Violet get away. Once I heard that, I went after him. I called him to my office and, well, he didn't leave alive. Flashback
It had been three days since Violet got away. Three agonizing and painful days. I was pulling my hair out at how she was able to pull this whole thing off. I checked all the footage I had and there was nothing. She didn't talk to anyone but my men when they were watching her. As I was looking through the files on my men, something caught my attention.
"Anthony Siciliano. 24 years old. Cleveland, Ohio." I read from the file. Ohio. Why did that sound familiar? Looking at Violet's file, I saw it. "That son of a bitch." I gritted my teeth as I crumpled the paper in my hand. Taking slow and deep breaths, I opened my drawer and got my gun out. Placing it under his file, I called for him to come to my office. Hearing a knock on my door, I allowed entry.
"You wanted to see me Capo?" That two timing son of a bitch asked. It took everything in me not to put a bullet in his head right now.

"Yes." I nodded as he walked toward my desk. "Have a seat." I motioned to the chair in front of my desk. I watched as he took a seat, looking as cool as a cucumber. The only thing that gave away his nervousness was the sweat on his forehead. "I am going to ask you something and I want you to be completely honest with me, understand?" I said in a stern and authoritative tone.
"Yes Capo." He nodded like the good dog he was. If only he knew he was not leaving this room. I already knew what I needed to know and I knew he was going to lie to me about it.
"I noticed on the cameras that you spent a lot of time with Violet. Why is that?" I watched him closely to see any change in his body language.
"I was tasked with watching her while you and Cody were out." He answered. Correct. But, why he was talking to her is what I really wanted to know about.
"Very good." I nodded in approval. "The conversations? Were they necessary?" I raised a brow. I could see him tense at that. Did he think I would not find out?
"That was..." He started to stutter. Got you now fucker. "....she was..."
"She was what?" I pressed, getting more irritated with him. He was a dead man, it was only a matter of time.
"She was confiding in me. All I did was listen. I never said anything to her." He tried to defend but I did not buy it. He would always be gone for hours after we got back when he was done 'listening' to her. "If that is true, where did you go after that?" I moved my hand under the files and placed my hand on my gun.
"Home."
"For some reason, I don't believe that." I smirked as I sat back in my chair. "I think you were helping her to get away and were trying to turn my men against me since you are the next highest after Cody." "That is not true! I have always been loyal to you!" He raised his voice to me. Did this motherfucker just raise his voice at me? I don't think so. Time to end this.
"I know who you are to her, Anthony Siciliano of Cleveland, Ohio." I spat. The look on his face was priceless. He knew he was a dead man walking.

"That means nothing!" He stood up, reaching in his coat. Too bad for him, I was faster. I pulled my gun from under the files and pointed it at his head.
"You said you were always loyal. You were. Until she came. You knew her and lied to my face the whole." I was seething with anger. He went to open his mouth to say something, only to have a bullet between his eyes. End Flashback
It was a few hours later and we were at one of my warehouses awaiting some shipments. Cody found a new guy and he found my lost shipment that the other ass lost. That would have been an easy 50k loss if not found. We were all standing around the tables as the last palate was brought in.
"Everything is present and accounted for, Capo." Fallon, the new guy Cody hired, said as I looked over the tables.
"Perfect." I rubbed my hands together as I looked over everything. I easily had 500k worth of money and drugs in front of me. This would put me ahead of that ass DiNozzo. He was the next biggest in this line of business and this deal will help me a lot. Once I get my big deal done, I will be ahead of him for sure.
When everything was said and done, my men got everything ready and took it out for transport to our buyers. It was only Cody and I in the warehouse when we heard something upstairs.
"What the fuck was that?" I snapped my head up, drawing out my gun.
"I don't kn-" Cody was saying when the room was flooded with men. These were not my men. No, they were the local PD. Crap! There were too many of them for Cody and I to retaliate against, since all my men left.
"Ted DiBiase. Cody Sawyer. You are under arrest." The one who seemed to be the lead said.
"On what grounds?!" I barked as one of his men placed Cody and I in handcuffs.
"For kidnapping and rape." He spat in my face, his eyes filled with hatred.
"That bitch." I muttered under my breath as Cody and I were led out of the warehouse and to an awaiting van.
"All clear Sir. Nothing is here." Someone said as they came out of my warehouse.
Thank god my men were meticulous. No one was going to catch me with anything. All they could get me with was carrying, even then I had a permit. I was not dumb. As Cody and I were put into the van, I looked back and prayed that my empire would not fall while I was there. Once the doors were closed, I made a vow to myself. "I will get you back, Violet, and you will pay for what you have done."
