33 | Mateo

Iris's POV

It's already been about 4 hours there , wonder how he is doing right now. He is probably taking all of the oxygen from the tree tied to him.

Guess he will have a good source of air and won't suffocate to death. But I honestly should have added a slap too as a goodbye gift but I didn't think of that. My plan is amazing , was amazing but it could have been better.

God , why didn't I think of that. It would have been the cherry on top of the cupcake. Nevertheless , I still manage to get that motorbike of his , it's the latest model and I really want to get it.

And I mean I do have the money but I rather take his than spend my money on it , makes sense right ?

"Iris , you have to go the shop to get a dress for tonight's dinner" Lorenzo opened the door.

"Why ? I can just wear a hoodie and some sweatpants on , it's so much more comfy than that plus it's only some important business like it doesn't regard about me."

"You need to , everybody is going to have dress up for this important occasion" he sternly said. I knew not to argue back not because I have no balls to do it but because the outcome will be the same and I do not want to waste my breath and energy into something which is confirmed.

It's not like I hate dresses but it's more for comfortability than looks you know but I still like to look good.

"This dress ?" Elijah pointed to a flowery pink dress. "Not really my type" shaking my head.
"You've been saying this for the past 2 hours , when will you choose one ?" Jacob said.

"Well I ask for an option to just wear a hoodie and sweatpants but apparently it's not an option" rolling my eyes. We've walked around the mall for 2 hours and we , I mean I couldn't choose one.

It's not like their bad , their good but it's not exact style. We continued walking and finally we reached the end of the mall where there is only one more shop left which coincidentally sell dresses.

I stepped in. The ring on the door rang which alerted the owner that someone had entered. I looked around the little shop for dress but none of them were suitable for me.

Left with no options , I sighed and turned to the door and began walking out , seeing the annoyed faces of my brothers.

Over the corner of my right eye , a black dress caught my attention. I stopped in my trail and walked towards it.

A shoulder cut black dress with silks of layered fabrics , just my style. I took it and walked to the cashiers. I do not need to try it on because I could tell exactly that that was my perfect size.

"Finally" all of them sighed as I walked out with the dress in the bag. The sun was setting and it was almost time for tonight's dinner.

We should be able to reach there in time , hopefully. "Okay , let's not waste any time and quickly go home , tonight's an important dinner." Lorenzo said. We quickly went into the car and drove off.

30 minutes before tonight's dinner , I quickly put on the dress and it reaches just above the floor and I did a simple eye makeup.

I tidied my area and stepped out of my room. I walked down where all eyes were on me. As I walked down , my dress flowed smoothly down the stairs , as everybody stared in awe.

"How do I look ?" peering to my brothers. "You look amazing sorella" they said in unison. I took a seat down and waited anticipatedly though I had no idea what or who was I waiting for , but is just odd.

That's the word I would describe but it really isn't exactly odd. "They'll be here soon" Dad spoke. And that's when I realize that the Spanish Mafia are not here yet.

I'm kind of excited to see them as they seemed really nice and I never had the opportunity to meet them and I kinda want to know how they look like. I also heard from Dad and them that their daughter is also coming which coincidentally she is also the same age as me.

"Everybody get on your best behavior , this is very important" he said , walking towards the door as quickly as he could , making sure his suit doesn't get any markings.

I straighten my back and tilted my head slightly to the right so that I get a good angle when they come in. "Hello , I appreciate you for making the trip to here for today."

Dad took out his hand for a shake. The man in black suit who is slightly taller than Dad returned the shake. I noticed that he looks familiar. But his face is so vague in my memory that I can't seem to catch a hold of it.

And that's when it all clicked to me , he is Mateo. The guy who saved me and taught me to a trained assassin.

My life savior.

My mouth hanged for a good solid 1 minute and I zoned out. I can't believe he is here.

He is the leader of the spanish mafia ? How did I not know about this ? His picture is exactly different from he looks like in real life.

All this while , my life savior has been within my arm reach. I looked back at him and that's when we made eye contact. His eyes widen and his mouth started to slowly open.

"Iris" he mumbled. I jumped off from my seat and dashed towards him and threw his an open hug which he hugged me back.

"Oh Iris , how have you been ?" Mateo asked. "I've been doing well , just those same couple hobbies" tears pouring out from my eyes but this is happy tears not sad tears.
