My Soft Boy

Chapter 5

Valentina
I loved my dad. He was my saviour, my best friend. My role model. My everything. When people think of mafia leaders they think of horrible, ratchet, feeling less humans who should never experience happiness. My dad was far from that. Yes he was tough but he was the kindest soul I knew. He was hard on me. But that's helped me a lot today. He Only killed when needed to. He always thought of people's feelings before his. Maybe his kindness had him killed?

My mom always said I was a daddy's girl. I really was. God I missed him. My mom had left me and my dad for some other guy. Papa never told me the details. I never knew her. I never had a mother figure to hug me and tuck me in at night. My dad was there for me.

Last night I experienced my first nightmare since my dad died. I woke up drenched in sweat. Screaming for my dad. That's what the maids had told me. Needing to feel loved to feel wanted. I was desiring touch. Any touch. Someone to talk to. To tell my worries, my secrets too. No one was there and no one still is.

Weeks went by since meeting Dante and his mafia. Today we were meeting them again and "we" as in my mafia and me. We need to trust each other. To learn each other's assets. Yeah that's happening today. I'm taking a couple of my people, not the whole damn group. Marsha is my woman, my eyes. She gives me run downs and information that no one can access.

Adrik is my most feared man. He's a one of a kind kill machine. I'm pretty sure he's never genuinely loved a woman. And I'm pretty sure of the lack of women in his life; he's 100% a virgin. He's always won in a fight or whatever it is he usually does, he only reports the kills, never has he told me his process on how he killed them.

And of course I'm bringing my best friend Vela aka my side woman. She is my obochek. Her job is to work in bribes and trades from other mafias.

That is who I'm bringing in today. I quickly order a meeting to discuss my decision.

"Hello everyone, today I will be taking some of you to go down to Dante's place and have a formal meeting. So can I have Marsha, Adrik and Vera to stand up and come with me. That'll be all. Good day." They all stand up in an orderly fashion and walk outside with me.

Vera immediately starts jumping up and down, excitement sparkling on her face.

"This is so exciting yet terrifying right Adrik." She stands next to him and waits for an answer. He looks forward not saying a single word.

"Okay thanks for your input grandpa, it was greatly appreciated. What about you Marsha are you scared?"

Marsha didn't care, her face full of disgust. She's not a fan of Vera's bubbly personality. She just gives her a curt nod and starts walking ahead.

"So are we driving with you? Or can we go in our separate cars?" Marsha speaks up.

I sigh and reply with a yes. "We are all going in our own vehicles to be frank I cannot stand your bickering." I gave a pointed look towards Marsha and Vera.

"And please do not be intimidated by Dante or his minions. They really are just a bunch of knuckle heads." I speak slowly. They all nod in unison.

We made it to my garage. Today I will be bringing my Lamborghini veneno. With its sleek blood red wrap to give me a more influential look, the look shows a powerful woman and that woman is me. The colour goes with my black blazer outfit. Paired with my black red bottoms.

I look over to see my team all getting in their best cars. Vera is wearing a beautiful black slip on dress. She's wearing cute black sandals. Her hair is put up in a sleek bun. She was getting into her black McLaren. Honestly I didn't even know why she wasted so much money on this car.

I look over at Marsha who is wearing a red suit. With a black trench coat giving you some 80s gang vibe. She was wearing some heels as well and was getting into her dark blue Aston Martin. Her hair didn't need to be styled; she was rocking the beautiful buzz cut.

Last but not least was Adrik wearing a beautiful black suit and tie. His hair was ruffled on top of his head he styled it but it looked like he woke up and it looked good. He was getting into his pagani huayra.

I felt proud and confident. Looking at everyone they all looked prim and perfect giving me a more comfortable feel. Soon we pull away from the house and drive down the long highway to Dante's massive mansion.

Dante
After 2 long weeks Valentina and I have decided that it is best for our teams to meet and get to know each other, since we are all working together. I'm excited to see how they all get along. lost in my thoughts again. As I hear a knock on the door, my maid enters informing me that they have arrived.

I quickly gathered Alessandra and Nico. And we made our way downstairs to greet our guests. I open the door and see a line of luxurious cars all lined up side by side. All those cars are worth millions of dollars. The Lamborghini catches my eye fist the beautiful blood red wrap glows under the sun.

The door opens and steps out the one and only Valentina. Of course, why aren't I surprised, I think to myself. Then a tall female steps out of the McLaren. Nico stood beside me and breathed shakily. She was also very beautiful. Next was the Aston Martin. Another woman stepped out. She was tall and looked pretty damn good too. Last was the Pagani. A tall slender man stepped out of it. Alessandra let out some sort of squeak, oh hell no she has never given any sort of emotion towards anyone. I hate him already. Damn are all of these people tall like what the fuck.

They all start making their way to the mansion. I greet Valentina and turn my back on the rest of them. Nico greats all of them and so does Alessandra. I catch a glimpse of her and her eyes linger on that tall boy. I yank her and she scowls but follows me inside. Valentina and her whole group follow me. Not a single sound is heard from their mouths. What is Valentina feeding these guys? They look prim and perfect. We make it to the boardroom and they all sit around the table waiting for me to begin.

Valentina
I observe the new girl in the room. I didn't see her last time. She was beautiful, her curly brown hair falling around her, framing her heart shaped face. Her cheek bones were defined and she was tall. Her lips were full and her eyes were foxy. Speaking of eyes she kept stealing glances towards Adrik. Ohhhh someone has a secret admirer. And as for Nico he kept his eyes on Vera too his hand was on his face and he stared full on taking in her appearance. Vera was beautiful as well she was a model for Dior. Before her mafia life. She had all the men under her fingers. Now she didn't have time to mingle and fool around. She had priorities. Dante introduced himself to everyone. And was now waiting on something. I look up to see everyone's eyes on me.

"Oh hell what are we talking about"

Dante sighs before saying "would you like to say anything?"

I laugh and mumble a little no. Before Marsha speaks "So what's the game plan what are we doing?"

"Well there is a grand ball coming up. All mafias and gangs are asked to be joined there, as we already know attendance is mandatory. I know that the Mexicans and Americans are going to be there. We will have the perfect opportunity to strike them there. Valentina and I will be keeping in touch to discuss further details."

Ugh that means I need to pick out a dress and I need to go with someone as well. It's okay I'll go with Marsha since Nico already has his eyes on someone and so does Alessandra. I catch a glimpse of Dante as his eyes are on me. Fucking creep I think to myself. Just as I'm about to speak. A cute tiny woman walks in the room saying something in Italian.
