The Long Lost Mafia Princess

Book 2 chapter 1

Valentina's POV. (16 years old)

The little girl clung onto me as I rode back home on firefly.

She was covered in dirt and blood while tears stained her little face.

I just came back from a mission where we saved this little girl called Ellie.

I am in charge of an organization in dad's mafia where we find abusers, human traffickers,... and find them before torturing and killing them. I've been doing this for 2 years now and it's been going well.

We mostly find abusers they can be parents, foster parents, siblings, family members, husbands or wife's and more, we then set up a team before we go to their home and safe the person who is in pain because of the abuser.

Today we saved little Ellie here, she was physically abused by her foster father who is now in the cells in one of our main base's.

Normally after we help someone we bring them to a house, ask them if they are physically hurt and if they are they'll get help with that first. After that we let them bathe and eat before they hopefully get a good night's rest.

Then in the morning we find a solution for them, it can be a new foster home which is a good one or maybe a new start somewhere else, there are many things we can do. Sometimes they'll ask if they can help with my organization and do the things we do, I'll let them if they can and really want to, but that happens almost never.

This time plans didn't go as well as we thought it would, Ellie doesn't want me to leave her side which I get of course. She's been locked away since she was born and the only people she's ever known have hurt her except for my team and me.

When we arrived at the house and she got to meet the caretaker there, she liked Sophia (the caretaker) but when I tried to leave to go home she didn't let me. Eventually we decided that I'd bring Ellie home with me until we find a solution for her.

Since she didn't want anyone to touch her, no one has yet got to help her with her injuries.

When I found her, she was chained up on the floor in  a shed in the backyard. The poor 4 year old looked petrified.

Ellie started loosing her grip on me as she lost more blood, hurriedly I grip one arm on her body to keep her closer too me so she wouldn't fall of.

When we finally arrived home I put firefly outside the house next to my brothers' motorcycles. I swung my leg back over firefly and stood steady on the ground before I took my helmet off.

Ellie looked around scared and alarmed, "shh you're okay and safe, we're at my house with my family. Nobody's going to hurt you, I promise." I cooed her as I took her helmet off.

She reached out to me so I picked her up before I started walking to the front door.

She cuddled her head into my neck while I pressed my hand against a bleeding wound on her stomach making her cry out in pain, "I'm sorry Honey, I'm just trying to stop the bleeding" I told her.

I gave the guards at the door a smile which they returned before opening the front door.

I cover Ellie's ears as I yell for Elijah to come down here. Soon enough I heard stomping from feet all around the house.

"Are you hurt!?" I heard dad scream from somewhere.

"What!" I think Blake and Allesandro screamed hearing dad's question.

"Valentina I swear to god if you're hurt-" Roman screamed, we'll guess he's here too, "- then...then I don't know"

More things were heard from the others before everyone arrived down here in the hall.

I released my hands from Ellie's ears and tried to set her down.

"No" she cried.

"Okay honey, I won't." I told her giving her a kiss on the head.

I looked at Elijah before motioning him to come too us. He did as I told him by eye contact "hey Ellie look this is one of my brothers, his name is Elijah and he's a doctor." I said softly while turning her little body towards him.

Elijah gave her a smile, " hey Ellie" he said

"So Ellie, Elijah is going to help you with the pain and bleeding okay" I told her.

She looked from him to me unsure, "he's not going to hurt you like he did, I promise honey" I cooed her.

She nodded, "okay Val" she agreed before reaching out to Elijah.

By doing that I could see the marks that the chains left on her wrist, I gritted my teeth so I wouldn't turn around and go to that stupid idiotic monster.

Elijah cradled her in his arms before leaving to go to the medical wing. As soon as they were out of sight dad turned to me, " I know, I know that this is not something that is part of the mission and stuff but she's just so scared and-...I just couldn't leave her like that and-" I rambled.

He walked to me, "principessa, it's okay I get it. Now go get ready for dinner, your mom and I'll take care of Ellie for a bit. " dad said.

"Okay"

"Is Ellie going to come to dinner with us?" My mom asked as she walked up to me and gave me a hug.

"Euhm I'll ask her later" I told her.

She nodded before everyone left except for Roman.

I smiled at him, "hey" I told him, giving him a hug.

He hugged me back tight, "hey"

"So did you catch him?"

I slapped him on the shoulder playfully, "of course I did" I stated.

"I never doubted you" he said defensive.

"Mmhm"

I turned and started to walk upstairs while he followed me. "So when will I ever get to go on a mission with you?" he asked.

"I didn't know you wanted to"

"Well, yeah...we can go together." He said nervously.

"we can go together next time." I suggested.

"Okay"

I walked into my closet before opening my weapon room and putting all my armer that I had on me back in there.

When I turned back around I was met with Roman's chest, making me almost fall.

A blush crept on my face as he placed his hand on my waist to keep me from falling.

I looked up to see him looking down at me.
