Ch 47

Astrid's pov

"Come on! Punch me harder!" Luca said.

"I don't wanna hurt you, I'm stronger than you think."

wed been working out and training in the big boxing rink for 2 hours. I was borderline exhausted, and Luca wasn't going easy on me.

He'd been training me for the last few days.

It was now the day before my birthday, and we had plenty of stuff to do before we go to the island.

"Come on, hit me!" He said demandingly.

Me being fed up, i hit him as hard as i could, causing him to soluble over and laugh.

"I don see whats funny." I said, recording him on the ground, and posting it on my insta story."

"Baby, your hilarious. I think it's time for a snack." He said, breathlessly laughing.

He placed his hand on my lower back and led me to the kitchen, where a maid was preparing us chicken, and white Mac and cheese.

The maid moved to clean the living room, while i hunched over on the counter, checking my instagram messages.

I heard the sound of a picture being taken, and i saw Luca do something sneaky.

"I reloaded my instagram to see an array of pictures of me on his page.

The caption said "photo dump for the loml."

Luca hadn't posted in months, ever since the wedding.

The tea pages are gonna have a party with this.

The pictures included me sleeping, me doing my hair, me cooking a meal, and me just now, along with many other pics of us through the days.

"I would be so angry at you if this gesture wasn't so cute." I said to him.

He was smiling so much that his dimples where showing.

We sat down at the table, and ate, laughing our asses off at a video of somebody falling hard.

I looked at the time and saw that we had 5 hours until our flight.

"Aw shit, shouldn't we be packing for our flight?"

"That's all handled, just wear something comfortable for the flight."

I washed my dish, and headed upstairs to pick out an outfit.

After my long shower, and overdue self care routine, i blew out my hair.

I decided on a juicy couture tracksuit with white air forces.

I straightened my hair, trimming it in the process.

Luca came in with nike sweatpants and a woman beater, with a gold chain a round his neck that said my name.

"I haven't given you a gift in a while, so here." He said, handing me aa Cuban link, and a diamond necklace that said his name.

I ran up to him and hugged him, he took advantage of this and grabbed my ass.

"Our little trip is gonna be so fucking fun." I said.

"I know you probably don't want to hear this, but you must have your gun and knife on you at all times astrid." He said, handing me both.

The gun didn't have s much trauma with it as i thought it would.

I put the gun on my waistband and the knife in my thigh, under my sweatpants.

"That's my girl.' He said, with a smirk.

We went down to the garage and got into one of his many cars, and sat with the ac being the only sound in the car.

We pulled up to lucas fathers house in an hour.

My anxiety skyrocketed.

Luca turned the far off and got out, looking concerned when I didn't even remove my seatbelt.

A tear slipped my eye and my breathing started to decrease.

I quickly climbed into the backseat and tried to steady my breathing, but it just got worse.

The door opened and revealed Olivia.

"Astrid, I understand how hard this is for you, but we have to face this shit hear on, we CSNT hide forever from trauma. You have a whole team by your side, you have me, Luca, and a whole bunch of other people who would die for you to live. Your okay astrid, deep breaths." Olivia reassured me.

Damn, it did help me.

Luca stood outside of the car and rubbed his temples.

He's been doing that a lot lately.

He held my hand as I walked inside, greeted with the sight of cleaning maids in skimpy outfits, and Eugene with his wife.

"Well well well, if it isn't my daughter in law. You've been okay right?" He asked.

"I've been alright." I said, still cooling down.

"Alright, let's get some business ready before the trip. When you two came back, be ready to get into work and be ready for some missions and planning. We can't slack off, we've already lost a few million in the last month." Nikolai said.

That's when I heard it.

A gunshot

Right through the pillar behind me.

I didn't hesitate to pull out my golden gun, neither did the others.

We cautiously took place and located the car, hearing only the sounds of eachtoher s breaths. 

I spotted 5 range rovers with several people in each.

Outnumbered.

"Over there." I croaked out.

Nikolai got a heavy duty gun and ran upstairs, going I noticed by the outside people.

Me and Luca shot through the spaces of the windows at the people sitting outside.

2 down

5 down

8 down

There was a rush of ecstasy coasting through my body. Something I had craved.

My new addiction, blood.

I shot until my bullets ran out, then I heard the powerful machine gun from Nikolai, killing the rest of them off.

Or so I thought.

I grabbed my knife, feeling someone behind me, and stabbed into them, not caring who it was.

Glad it's not Luca.

I turned around to see a Russian man with a black gun, dead in the ground.

"We need to leave, Now."

"But what about the others."

"There headed to the bunker. Our safest option right now is to be on that fucking island."

I ran with Luca to our car and we drove a fair distance to the airport.

Thank god I still had my fucking life.
