The minute he hugged Diana, Karter let out a breath he didn't even realise he was holding in.

The scene was chaotic. There were people running all over the place. It seemed to be set for a wedding.

They turned to run back to the gate when he saw viper standing in front of them. He had his gun out. Before Karter could blink, viper shot.

The bullet didn't hit any of them. It hit a guard standing behind them. The guard had a knife in his hand which looked like it was going to be stabbed into Diana's back.

Karter looked at viper shocked, but not for long. He pulled out his gun and pointed it at him.

"Alex. Take her to the black car waiting outside the gate. Fox is there." Karter ordered

"Yes, boss."

Viper put his hand down. He walked up to Karter. He stood right in front of him with the gun in between them.

He looked into Karter's eyes and muttered something, Karter wasn't sure that was loud enough for anyone else to hear.

"Protect her."

He then walked away without turning back.
Karter pushed his way through the crowd. It was a good thing that the crowd was there. He could leave without having to kill a lot of people.

Once he reached the gate. Karter looked back to the building.

Viper saved his sister's life twice already.

Viper was standing on the side doing nothing to protect his men. Karter walked to him and pointed the gun to his back.

"Your father kidnapped her. It's only fair I do the same." He muttered into Viper's ear.

"Yeah, it's only fair." He replied with a smirk tugging his lips.

"Walk."

Viper walked ahead of him. No one seemed to realise what was happening.

At the gate, Sid stood there in front of an empty car.

"Tell them to pull back." He told Sid. He nodded and left. Karter pushed Viper's head and made him sit in the back seat of the car. He got in beside him and ordered the driver to start.

Diana and Alex must have already left. He hoped she wasn't injured or anything.

"How long before they realise you're missing?" Karter asked him looking straight ahead.

"One or two days" Viper replied. But it sounded more like a guess than a statement.

Karter raised an eyebrow at him.

He chuckled. "What. You think because I'm the son of the mafia leader, I'm suddenly everyone's favourite? Have a distant father and you wouldn't be so surprised."

Karter didn't reply. If he had a choice he would easily have picked an easier life than to run a mafia. Even though he was good at it. One of the best ever. But the grass always seems to be greener on the other side. So he didn't reply.

His phone buzzed.

Alex.

"What." He spoke into the phone.

Where are you? We have to leave.

"I'm almost there."

Alright.

Karter cut the call.

"I know you're kidnapping me and all. But where exactly are we going?"

"Safehouse," Karter replied

"Safehouse." Viper repeated like he was trying to believe in it.

*****

"Get out." Karter told viper as he got out the car.

They reached the airport. Em was waiting in front of his plane. She ran up to him to update him.

"Diana had a knife stabbed into her thigh. We will get it checked once we reach there, but I don't think there is anything to-" she trailed off as she saw viper get out the car.

"Get him in the plane." He told her as he walked into the plane.

Diana was pacing back and forth inside.
Her face filled with relief and she saw him enter.

"Oh thank God." She sighed.

He looked at her dress and raised an eyebrow. "You're wearing pink." He noted.

She looked at him with her eyebrows raised like really bro? You want to discuss this here? Right now?

Karter smirked. He had to get used to being treated like this. His whole life people had feared him. Even when he was a kid.

There was a time when one of his father's guards had pushed him by mistake. He wasn't hurt very badly, but his dad lost it. He shot him right in the head. His father didn't even bother to think about his five-year-old son standing right beside him.

After that none of his friends were allowed to play with him. Their parents wouldn't allow it. Karter understood that. That was the reason he was even more excited about having a sister.

He turned to the pilot and told him the location.

"We need to leave now." He told no one in particular.

"Yeah, we do." Em entered with viper behind her.

Karter looked at Diana trying to pick of emotions from her face when she was him. But he couldn't. She had an excellent poker face.

But she did raise an eyebrow.

"I'm being kidnapped." Viper muttered. He walked up to the fruit bowl placed on the side table and picked up an apple and started cleaning it on his sleeve.

He took a bite. "So shall we get going or what?" The pilot asked.

Karter could feel Alex's eyes on him the enter time. But he didn't look back.

"Yeah let's go."

*****

Karter tried avoiding Alex as much as he could. But it was a small plane.
Finally, he gave in.

He sat down in front of Alex.

Alex lifted his eyebrows but didn't say anything.

"You were supposed to protect her." Karter spoke softly but full of anger.

"It's not me that you're mad at, Karter." Alex replied.

Karter ground his teeth. Alex was right. He was mad at himself.

"Karter." Alex started. Karter looked at him. That's when Karter realised that his best friend looked broken. He looked hurt. Not physically.

"What happened?" He asked.

"I'm in love with a woman who loves another man." He replied. "I need help."

Karter didn't reply. He couldn't possibly help him with this. If it was any other girl he would have, without a blink of an eye. But the one he likes, he couldn't interfere.

"I need help to get over her." He continued.

Karter nodded. "You need your wingman." Karter smirked.

Alex chuckled. "Like I need a wingman." He swept his hand over his body. "You think I need a wingman. This body? Right here?"

An air hostess came to them to check whether they needed anything.

Before she left she winked at Alex.

"Looks like your back," Karter noted.

"Let's just say I never left." He replied. "Once we reach, we're hitting the club."

Before Karter could say anything, Viper sat down beside him. Viper was easily the same build as him.

"So. Vex is Diana."

"Vex?" Karter asked.

"Yeah, that's how she introduced herself to me, the first time we met."

"Yeah, then she is."

He nodded. "And you are her brother?"

"How'd you know that?" Alex asked.

"It's pretty easy to figure out. Except for the eyes, I guess she is wearing contacts ?"

"Yeah."

"Does she have black eyes by any chance?"

"No. She has caramel brown ones like Karter." Alex replied.

"Oh." He said. He looked confused.

"Why are you asking?" Karter questioned.

Viper took a breath.

"Because apart from the eyes, she is the exact replica of my mother."

Yayay. Finally finished Karter's chapter.

I hope you liked this chapter.
