Pick me, Choose me, Love me

(10). Initiated

Narrator's POV

After all the training Ren had done she still felt the hunger, like she needed more from boxing. She had been training with Lilith for a month, fighting professionally but it just wasn't enough for her. She loved the rush of adrenaline from a landed hit, even getting hit made her feel alive.

She expressed her concerns to Lilith and was given the opportunity to join "Faventia" Renesme went on with the decision weighing on her shoulders...and eventually said yes.

Now Lilith is taking Renesme to dinner as celebration to welcome her into the mafia as the new recruit.

Renesme's POV

My hands and face are still bruised with some light purple marks from my fight last night. A few cuts on my face, I don't there are any that will leave a permanent scar...wouldn't want to scare off Jake so quickly I care about him and his daughter. They have slowly become the normalcy in my life that I desperately need right now.

Lilith told me the dinner tonight was just to say congrats to getting into the mafia "Faventia" meaning Malcom in Latin.

I'm not sure what I will be given to do but I see this as an opportunity to get stronger, and it excites me to imagine the feeling of the other person's blood mix into my bruised knuckles as I bash their face in. They say when you love the job you do it becomes a drug.....well I'm taking full dosage.

Narrator's POV

Lilith didn't want to put Renesme through the whole fighting process but she couldn't be picking favorites or she would lose the respect of those inferior to her. For second in command respect is mandatory from anyone other than Mason.

Lilith fought her way from soldier to now second in command and her skills displays it.

Mason, well he obviously was a sexist prick who were doubtful of Renesme's capabilities because she was female. Proving his ass wrong by facing six men unprepared without weapon, one having a gun. Despite all the remarks they made about her she kicked ass.

Ren was briefed on what they do...which is vague. Ren was given rules

verità
onore
rispetto

Truth
Honor
Respect

Renesme's POV

"This meeting is to officially welcoming new member of Faventia. Same rules apply to everyone here. You will address me as sir, my second in command Mam or whatever she wants but respect is a must" the other men seated around him seemed to scared to even blink in that man's direction.

"If there isn't anything else to say meeting is adjourned" he stands with his glass of whiskey in hand and pass it over to who seems like his cleaning lady. I would introduce myself to him but something just tells me that if it were up to him alone I wouldn't be here.

It doesn't matter how I got here the point is I am here and loving the feeling.

After being initiated into Faventia I had to stay in the estate. Tonight is my first night without Jake. Don't get me wrong I love waking up and him forcing himself to get up with me at 5am just to laugh and talk to me while I get ready, but I need to touch his skin see my reflection in his adorable eyes.

This morning he actually ate because he knew I wouldn't eat until probably after gym in the night worst I have a match tomorrow, well he doesn't know I fight in matches yet or postponed our dates to join Faventia but still. I am slowly getting attached and I just want to know more so that I can find some fault because so far this man is perfect . I miss him
