Austin finally reached the mountain.
Every step he took felt like his body was breaking apart. His legs trembled, his breath was uneven, and his entire body was covered in wounds. Blood stained his clothes, dripping onto the cold stones beneath his feet.
But he kept moving.
He had only one thing left inside him.
Hope.
His voice was almost gone, but he forced himself to scream.
"UMMA!!!!!!"
The scream carried across the mountain.
He used every remaining piece of strength he had left.
Inside the cave, Urlima was standing with Nikolai and the two groups when suddenly her entire body froze.
Her eyes widened.
She knew that voice.
"No…" she whispered.
Her heart stopped for a moment.
She turned toward the entrance.
"Go get him," Nikolai said immediately.
Urlima did not wait another second.
She ran out of the cave.
Juan, Addison, Sabrina, and the rest of the group followed behind her.
"Ozzy!" Urlima screamed.
The moment she reached the mountain, she saw him.
Austin stood there weakly, his bloody hands raised toward her.
They could see how badly injured he was.
His entire body was covered in blood.
"Umma…" he whispered.
Urlima's heart shattered.
"My baby…"
She ran toward him.
She slid down the mountain, ignoring everything around her.
When she reached him, she dropped down and pulled him into her arms.
"My baby… what has she done to you? My child…" she cried.
Austin's breathing was heavy.
He could barely keep his eyes open.
"Mama…" he whispered.
Urlima held his face.
"I am…..hungry. Please feed me, Mama," Austin said weakly.
Sabrina immediately rushed forward and gave him water.
"H…Here. Drink," she said.
Austin grabbed the water and drank it extremely fast.
Nikolai came down the mountain with the others.
"Mil, call them. There are her men after her in India. She is with the Bratva. She knows where Mila is," Austin whispered.
Everyone froze.
"She gave Mhaira 200 lashes on her body," Austin continued weakly. "The men beat her up. By tomorrow night they will come here to open the chamber."
Urlima's expression changed.
"Mhaira…"
Austin struggled to speak.
"I…Is the mask men… w…with diamond shaped on their mask…"
"Austin…" Urlima whispered.
Before he could finish his sentence, his eyes closed.
His body went limp.
"Ozzy?"
Urlima shook him.
"Ozzy? Ozzy!?"
Her voice became filled with fear.
Nikolai's anger exploded.
"200 lashes on her?" he said coldly.
He took out his phone immediately.
His hands tightened around it as he dialed a number.
The call connected.
"Hello?" the leader answered.
"You have two minutes to stop your men from touching my wife," Nikolai said.
His voice was dangerous.
"Or else I will step into that penthouse and kill you with my bare hands."
"GET THEM OFF HER!"
The leader chuckled.
"She is in my custody," she replied.
Suddenly another voice came through the phone.
"Boss! Boss! Boss! That girl is crazy!"
A member sounded terrified.
"She just knocked out all the men and tied them up. We gave her 80 lashes for us to keep going, but she ran mad!"
The phone was on speaker.
Then everyone heard it.
A scream.
A scream that echoed throughout the island.
Nikolai looked up slowly.
The sound was filled with pain and rage.
"Your wife is fucking crazy!!"
The voice on the phone laughed.
Then the call ended.
Nikolai stood silently.
His anger was growing.
Nihal and Rafsan came down from the mountain.
"Take him to the hospital. He needs medical attention fast," Nikolai ordered.
They nodded.
"Ozzy…" Urlima whispered.
Austin's hand slipped from hers.
Rafsan carried him over his shoulder.
They ran toward the boat.
Urlima looked toward the distance.
"That bitch is going to pay!"
She kicked a tree with all her strength.
The tree fell.
"Boss, what are we going to do?" Nathan asked.
Nikolai immediately took out his phone.
He dialed Rohan's number.
Meanwhile, Rohan was sitting with his family.
"Bro, it's Boss," Enzo said.
Rohan looked at the phone.
"Yes, Boss?"
"Rohan, some men are around your house," Nikolai said.
"They are there to kidnap Mila."
Rohan stood immediately.
"Shot them all dead!" Nikolai ordered.
"My side, Boss?" Rohan asked.
"Yes."
Rohan looked toward the window.
"They took Lily, and now they are after Mila. They are wearing masks with a diamond shape on them and the symbol is on their shirts."
Rohan's expression darkened.
He snapped his fingers.
"Get the guns. Take Mila upstairs. Hide her. We are getting ambushed."
"What the fuck!?" David shouted.
Rohan grabbed his gun.
Everyone immediately moved.
They ran into the other hall.
"Go! Go! Go! Go!"
The guns were loaded.
Catah, Ronny, King Mahadji, and the others prepared themselves.
"Ronny is the masked men?" Princess Ketaki asked.
"Yes," he answered.
She immediately took her gun.
A Winchester Model 70.
"Tf, how did you get that!?" Jaxon asked.
"Ronny isn't the only one in the mafia," she replied.
She raised her weapon.
Mila was still asleep.
"Poor child… what do they want from her?" Queen Ishwari whispered while rubbing Mila's hair.
Mila's pacifier fell from her mouth.
"Mama…"
She mumbled in her sleep.
"Grr… Mama up… come…"
"Shhhh. Mama will be fine," Atharva whispered.
"Amma will be fine, right?" Charvi asked.
"Amma will destroy all of them," Satyam said.
"Maa Kail is with her. They will all pay," Kishtore said.
"Five o'clock!" Brandon shouted.
Suddenly gunfire exploded.
Rohan shot five men.
They dropped dead.
Oyiva held Mila tightly.
One of the men burst inside.
She saw the knife in his hand.
She quickly hid it.
They grabbed Mila.
But Oyiva reacted instantly.
She stabbed him in the neck.
Then she kicked another man.
Another attacker shot her in the back.
Pain spread through her body.
They aimed their weapon toward Mila.
Oyiva covered her mouth to stop herself from screaming.
The attacker lifted an iron rod.
He hit Satyam.
"Ah!" he yelled, covering his mouth.
Rohan fired.
The man dropped.
"Via!" the children screamed.
Oyiva held Mila tightly.
Tears rolled down her cheeks.
Rohan's eyes widened.
He ran toward her.
He caught her before she could fall.
"I got you, Via," he whispered.
Both of his parents watched them.
"I think your son is in love," Queen Ishwari said.
"Is it now you know?" King Mahadji replied.
"I already knew. He couldn't take his eyes off her."
Rohan gave Mila to David.
"We are doomed if Lily finds out about this," Jaxon said.
"She is going to kill us all," Rohan replied.
He carried Oyiva upstairs.
"Stay with me, okay?" he whispered.
"Mila?" Oyiva asked weakly.
"She's fine, Via. You'll be fine too," Rohan said.
A royal physician arrived.
"Your Majesty, you need to leave please," she said.
"But she—"
"Rohan…"
"I'm fine, sir. Please go," Oyiva said.
Rohan stepped outside.
"Kishu? Are you okay?" Diya asked.
"My head is spinning," he replied.
Before he could say anything else, he passed out.
"Kishu?"
"Kishu!?"
Chandra and the others rushed forward.
They carried him into another room.
The royal physicians immediately began treating him.
The night had only begun.
And the enemies who wore the diamond masks were still coming.
