Chasing Gravity ( BOOK 1)

3

Suddenly there were some exciting footsteps and a cheerful "Yeah" behind Gravity, that made her turn, to see an over-excited Andrew. He was jumping like a fanatic, looks like the incident four years ago had a huge effect on him. Seeing him Gravity smirked and said " Oh mister Andrew! what a pleasant surprise, how are you? how long has it been!" Seeing her smirk so confidently, Andrew furiously walked towards her and slapped her hard enough to make her lips bleed, though she succeeded in maintaining her balance, after all, she was a trained martial artist. The slap made Gravity grin, but before she could say anything, some men came and dragged Andrew back while a pair of arms turned Gravity back to face the armed leader and the mysterious men behind the curtain. " What is your real name?" asked the leader, Gravity framed a porker face and didn't answer at all. The question was asked thrice with the anger in the Leader's voice growing each time, and finally, he shot a bullet which went right past Gravity's elbow forming a thin line of blood as if a papercut. Still, Gravity was as calm as a saint, but this made Fabian whimper, he looked at Gravity with concern and fear, She looked back at him as if signaling him to calm down, which quite evidently worked. The leader was called by one of the mysterious men and after discussion, the leader ordered a man to tie up fabian's eyes. This made Gravity grind her teeth, she knew how weak-hearted Fabian was without her.So the question was asked again, at this Gravity replied " Rebecca" maybe the leader guessed it to be a lie so he shot the gun on the ground which made fabian scream out " ssshe is Gravity, I am Fabian." Then began the saga of lies by Gravity followed by gunshot by the Leader, and finally the truth by Fabian. the questions being :"How old are you?", "36", gunshot "26, wwwe botth arre 26""Full Name?", "don't have one, I am an orphan" gunshot, " mmiler miller Gravity miller, Fabian Miller"" How are you both related ?" " my boyfriend, just with the same surname", gunshot," her adopted brother"After this Andrew screamed, "What the fuck are you doing! asking her hand in marriage? You took fucking four years to catch them! Just kill them most brutally and give me back the heirlooms they stole They were the only things left with me from my dead family!" Listening to him Gravity looked directly at the men in the curtain and asked " you guys asked me 3 questions, can I ask you two?" one of the men nodded, thus Gravity continued "All right 1st question can I please know all the details of the contract you guys made with Mr. Andrew?""Nothing much, Mr. Andrew paid us 500 million pounds in exchange for the heirlooms and paintings you stole from him. That is very much it nothing more" replied a man wearing a smart Armani. This made Gravity nod thoughtfully, then she turned towards the mysterious men and asked " since I am not returning the paintings and jewels, for I no longer have them, you guys are gonna kill me, do I get the last wish?" At this, the men nodded.After a while Gravity had a huge smile on her face, jumping like a child Gravity said " You see, I have hit a lot of people with a lot of things like baseball bats, tasers, chairs, feet, and many more, but I have never held a loaded gun in hand, can I please get that as my last wish? please!!" "We have to ask our client for this" replied the Leader, at this Gravity turned back and said " common Mr.Andrew! scared of a girl now? I mean what can I do? They will all protect you! You are their client, aren't you? I mean think of your prestigious family name" This was enough to excite the pompous Mr. Andrew. He took the loaded gun of the bodyguard who stood right beside him and walked furiously towards Gravity, as soon as she got the gun in her hand, within 5 seconds Andrew's body was on the ground because of the perfect headshot Gravity made with the gun. She then bent down on the body and said " The contract had nothing about your protection moron, we just discussed it" Saying that Gravity threw the gun back to the rightful owner and faced the mysterious men and said, " Even though your client is dead, I suppose you will need to fulfill your contract, I do not have the items in my possession any longer, I sold them to Mr. Drew the American illegal art and artifacts dealer for about 1500 million pounds, I will transfer the amount to you guys right away, and if you still want the items you can contact Mr. Drew, that ends all our communication I guess, no need to drop us back me and Fabian can manage, but yeah next time try calling us without killing our men all right, they are a part of the family so..."Saying that Gravity was about to move towards Fabian to free him from the chair when a loud No was heard all of a sudden and the curtain opened, the two men had a strikingly similar appearance, just one of them was at least 40 years older than the other one, but both amazingly hot in their respective ages! Gravity's eyes caught the younger guy, she slowly scanned his body by her eyes before resting on the place between his legs, it was huge without a doubt! Seeing the position Gravity was focusing on made the guy cover it with his hands, this made Gravity chuckle before finally looking directly staring into his grey eyes. " I don't think I am doing anything that will make you my enemy, even though you killed my 20 men, kidnapped my brother and me, disclosed my identity in front of so many people, insulted me and my brother with gunshots, we still just want to quietly leave! May we ask what the reason is behind such a treatment?" At this the old man said" very well Miss Gravity Miller, you will get the answer to all your questions in the private lunch organized for you by me and my son, Its a pleasure to have you among us and we the Righello family welcome you to stay with us for some days"Righello Family! That rang a bell which made Gravity look at Fabian in shock who was staring back at her with huge eyes. Righello Family, the family of mafias since their previous 70 generations! The royals of the underworld, 71st generation the crown prince Leonardo Righello a proper killing machine since the age of 15, the family had some mysterious incident 6 years back which lead to the death of the Mafia queen aka Leo's mom. Since then Leo especially has been maintaining a calm profile, but still, they are the deadliest people to mess with probably on the whole planet. Why will they invite Gravity and Fabian to lunch! What was going on!
