Valerio's POV :

Life hurts more than death.
You are the lungs and sometimes you need someone to be your oxygen.

The time was right.
The plan was done, we go to the gala and put an end to the Russian mafia.
We keep quiet and quiet so that it is not predictable and we strike.

Matteo , Louis and Nina stood in front of me.
All of us in suits except Nina she was wearing a dress.
It was almost time and we were waiting for Carla and Olivia.

Matteo's mouth dropped open.
''Oh my god''.
He pointed behind me at the stairs

I looked behind me and saw Olivia and Carla coming down the stairs.

She looked unbelievably beautiful.

A black dress that showed off her curves and her gold jewelry that went perfectly with it.
God she's sexy.

Carla also looked beautiful, but my eyes remained clamped to her.

She smiled softly and knew exactly what she was doing.
We all walked outside and placed ourselves in the car.

We were only 6 but the plan was that when I gave the signal at the gala my whole team of 50 men would storm in and help kill them. We wait until the end so that all the other mafias are gone and so we don't start a war with them. Everyone understood the plan and now all we had to do was execute it.

I looked at the left seat in the back where Olivia was sitting.
She played with her gold ring on her middle finger. Her hand was quite tiny and I think if we compared she could fit it twice in my hand size.
Was she nervous?

I smelled her scent, it was sort of sweet.

Olivia's Pov:

I can feel his eyes on me. I know he's watching but I'm not responding.

I played with my hands because I was nervous, not because I had to shoot people in a couple of hours but because I got flashbacks of my dad abusing me, I don't know what triggered it .

I look out of the car window thoughtfully.

What will it be like after all the missions we're going to do?

Will I continue to live here?
Will I continue to be with him?

Do I ever really get to know him? I know he's arrogant and handsome, but there must be something underneath that peeling. I am pretty curious about him I feel like peeling his layers would help getting knowing the real version of him .

The car stopped and I realized I had been thinking about this for a while.

The car door opened and Valerio helped me get out of the car.

The others were already walking to the gigantic house where the gala was.
It was a black big building and it had a flat roof.

Valerio raised his mouth to my ear.
"You look extremely beautiful tonight," he whispered in my ear.

''You don't look bad yourself either''.

We walked to the entrance of the house. It was very big and really a typical mafia house. Men were everywhere in suits and women in beautiful dresses. A red carpet had been rolled out indicating where to walk.

People wore expensive clothing to show how rich they were and that they had power .

Upon entering, you had to give your name so they could find out who was there.
The inside of the house was beautiful and there was lots of glassware.
