Love Rival

Chapter 1- Start

I couldn't believe my eyes as I watched my mother's lifeless body laying in her pool of blood. I look over to face my dad, he broke down sobbing. I was shocked.. she was dead. I didn't feel anything I was numb, shocked, and traumatized. "Shit!" My dad yelled out.

I had never heard him scream like that. "Daddy.. what's going on? Is mommy asleep?" I asked concernly, patiently waiting for my dads response. My dad looks at me and a shocked expression washed over his face. It looked like he seen a ghost. "Amour.. you weren't suppose to see this.." my dad said grabbing my arm. My dad brought me out of the room.

My dad approached our bodyguards then spoke, "take her to her room! Regarder! laissez-la entrer dans cette pièce et découvrez qui a fait ça!" (Look! Don't let her go into that room, and found out who did this!)

My bodyguard then grabbed my hand and brought me to my room. I was confused on what was going on. I was only 8.

I wanted to get out of my room, but I know that there is a bodyguard blocking my door. I leaned my ear against the door and listened to what they were saying.

"Boss... we looked everywhere and.. we looked at the security systems and we found nothing on there but we did find something else.. and we found this note.."

There was a silence then I heard my dad scream out a 'WHAT'. I leaned over more so I can hear better.

"I knew they had something against us!" My father yelled. "This is definitely Alejandro! He definitely wrote this!"  (Boss of the Italian mafia).

"Sir.." the bodyguard said tapping his shoulder. "Your brother in law was here as well"

"MY BROTHER IN LAW?!" My dad laughed and rolled his eyes. "Please, he's a bitch! I know it was Alexandro!"

I then heard my dad yell out which I could of sworn it was a bad word. I then heard a vase shatter. I was scared.. so scared. My daddy is scary. I then run to my bed and hide under the covers. I then heard someone coming up the stairs and open the door.

This is just the beginning.

"Davina!!"

"Davinaaa!!!"

I shot up awake. I was panting and sweating. That was a nightmare that I had.. again. I have been having nightmares about my mother's death. I haven't told my father yet because if I mention my mother's death to him he would spaz out on me.

I look over to see my maid and my bodyguard leaning against the door frame. I sighed as I got out of bed.

"Finally your awake. Your father wants you downstairs. He says it's a family meeting." The maid, Margot, said to me.

I roll my eyes. Everytime my father calls me down for a family meeting, the topic is always about, mafia that, and mafia this. He also talks shit everytime. My father has been really distant lately. Again, for family meetings, he never asks how I was or never asked me how my day was he just talks shit.

"Okay.." I said, opening my drawers to pick out a comfy outfit.

The maid and bodyguard walked out of my room locking the door. I picked out a cute outfit which was just a sweatshirt, and sweatpants. I just wanted to go comfy.

I head downstairs, seeing my father sitting down at the table.

"Davina... good morning. Take a seat please" my father said to me motioning his hand to the seat next to him.

I sat down next to him. The maids then went to the dining room, and placed a plate of pancakes.

"So.. why did you call me down?" I asked. I already know what he was going to say. He always says the same shit everyday.

"I am attending an event later in the week" my father said taking a bite of his salad.

"Oh um.. okay what for?" I asked annoyed.

"Don't give me that tone young lady.. this event is for mafia reasons.." my father replied solemnly.

"If you don't mind me asking.. what mafia reasons?" I asked putting my fork down.

My father looked at me then said, "the private jet will be ready for us tomorrow. We are going to Italy for a special ball. It's a fancy, formal ball. Different mafia families will be there." 

I almost spat out my food. I chocked on my piece of pancake. "W-what?" I asked. "Dad! Tomorrow!? You could of let me know before! I have school.. a-and.. I won't have time to pack my bags.." I said placing my palm of my hands over my eyes. 

"You don't tell me what to do. No worries I talked to your principal, the maids already packed your bags, and earlier the better. We will be staying there for a month" my father spoke, getting up. 

"A month!?" I shouted out. Oh my gosh.. A month in Italy?! What!? I mean I love Italy.. but.. what ball?! 

"Oh, and Davina, you have met your uncle Alec, right?" My dad said folding his hands in front of him.

I raised an eyebrow and shrugged. "I don't think so... I think I have met him a while ago"

My dad nodded and said, "well you will see him again during our stay in Italy since her lives there with his family. Unfortunately, he will be staying with us"

I was confused. Unfortunately? Did my dad not like him?

Oh well. All I know is that this is going to be a longgg trip.

"Sir the private jets ready and the bags are suited" one of the bodyguards said.

My dad nodded. "D'accord, merci" (Okay, thank you) my father spoke.

"Is Davina ready?" My father said, shouting my name so I can come down.

"Yess cominggg" I said running down the steps. I took my suitcase and bag from my maid and headed out of the corridors.

I walked to the front door, and I saw my father. "Davina.. please get into the car. I'll be out in a minute. I need to have a word with Nathan."

Nathan, my bodyguard took a step forward, towards us. I nodded in understandment and walked out of the door.

Right when I walked out of the door, my father closed the door. I can see clearly through the window, seeing my father talking to my bodyguard. I couldn't make out what they were saying.

"Look... I need your brother to stay here and watch over the house" Isaiah (Davina's father) said.

Nathan nodded then called his brother over. "Issac, boss informed me that you will need to watch over the house during his stay in Italy." Nathan spoke to Issac. Issac nodded while waking away.

"Now, you Nathan, your task will be watching over my daughter." Isaiah said to Nathan. Nathan didn't say anything.

"Do I make myself clear?" Isaiah said, looking deeply in Nathan's eyes. Nathan gulped then murmured a yes.

"Good." Isaiah said walking out of the doors with Nathan following him.

'This is going to be a long trip' I thought.
