The Mafia Queen

Fail

Night time rolled in quickly and Austin, Tony and I started going through the plan for tonight, " I have intel that we are gonna have new members at the ball tonight so please vigilant." Tony uttered to both of us, " Clear?" he spoke again. " What makes you think we wont?" Austin questions him, " Oh I don't know maybe this little feud you two have has been burning you both alive" he sarcastically shrugged, Austin turned to look at me and I looked down at my hands fidgeting with my bracelet. My eyes were not on him but I could feel his cold gaze scanning me. " You have an hour to get ready, I'll set everything up for you both" Tony walked away leaving me and Austin at the table, I quietly stood up and began walking to my room. Once I reached the top of the stairs I bolted to my doors and shut them behind me. " Shit... pull yourself together Laura" I whispered to myself. 

I got ready and slowly made my way out of the room, I walked down the stairs dreading the night that's ahead. " I'm ready..." my voice cracked as i saw Austin facing away from me. He turned to face me and I could visibly see his eyes widen at what's Infront of him, " Austin?" I tried to talk..." The car is waiting outside let's go" he cut me off and walked away. I followed him and saw that Alex was no where in sight. " Austin where is Alex?" I asked with a hint of panic in my voice. "  Your boyfriend won't be joining us tonight, I gave him the night off" he replied with a stern voice, " Who did you discuss this with?" I shouted at him, " Your father" he turned to look at me and I could see the coldness reflecting on his face. I felt my eyes burn up and tears began rolling down my cheeks, " You told him?" my voice trembled. Without answering me he got into the first car and left me there.

The other drivers then escorted me to my car, I felt numb... Why would he do that to me? We were partners. I got into the car...and we drove off. " Good evening boss, I will be your driver for the rest of your journey anything you need you can contact me" the driver spoke, " Thank you" I wiped the tears off my face trying my best not to ruin my outfit. 

We arrived at our destination and I assembled myself before leaving the car. The chauffer opened the door and I stepped out alone. I walked into the building with my head held high, I made my way through the crown trying to spot a member I had not met yet, at first I could not see anyone until I looked up the balcony and there was my target. I made my way up the stairs and placed myself where I could catch his eye, he was new so chances of him recognizing me are extremely low. I sat a few feet away from him and could feel his eyes on me. " Who may you be beautiful?" I heard a voice behind me. " Nicole" I turned around to face him.

" Beautiful name, I'm Frank" he reached for my hand and kissed it. " Frank how's about we go somewhere private to get to know each other" I whispered to him. He smiled and led me into a room. He sat down on one of the chairs and motioned for me to join him, " Please Nicole sit, I want to know more about you. I sat next to him. " I need a drink first" I smirked, he then got up and poured us both some champagne. " Here you go mama" he handed me the glass, " Thank you" I took a sip. " So tell me, what are you doing here?" he asked me. " I'm looking to join, but I don't know which group is more successful" I replied, " I see, so have you decided yet?" he inched closer.

" No... could you advise me?" I smirked, " Well, I'm a member of the Venomous group and trust me...we are venomous indeed" he took a sip of his glass. " Maybe I'll join you" I smiled. " Oh really? " he got up and locked the door. " What are you doing?" I started feeling uncomfortable. " How old do I look?" he turned to me and took off his jacket . " What?" my voice began to break, " I know who you are, I can see the tattoo on your thigh...next time don't wear a slit dress to a mission like this" he smirked at me.

I got up and reached for my gun hidden inside my dress but something felt wrong, the room began to spin and I couldn't concentrate. I pulled out the gun but it felt heavy, I couldn't point it at him. " Is something wrong sweetheart?" he got closer, " Stay away from me" I tried to sound threatening but my condition worsened. As I was trying to collect myself I heard a gunshot outside and guests screaming for help. " Hmm, pity you won't be out there to witness your crew get killed. Guess you're all mine now" he gloated. " Laura!" I heard Austin's voice outside the locked door, " Austin..." my voice weakened and everything around me became black.

I fainted...
