Falling for Snow

Chapter 17

Valentino's POV

Today is the day of my company's gala and Snow is coming. I'm excited yet nervous to see her after our last encounter.

I'm currently in bed on my phone as it's early in the morning. I lay here for a while before getting up and going for a shower.

I wash my hair and body before stepping out and wrapping a towel around my waist. I towel dry my hair then I dry my body.

I put on some black boxer then I put on a white shirt with a pair of grey dress pants. I leave a tie and just unbutton a few buttons of my shirt.

I spray some cologne and leave the room before going into Gia's room. I enter her room to see her sleeping, so I kiss her forehead and leave the room.

Gia's going out with my mother today, while I'm stuck at my company preparing for tonight. I leave the house with grace inside looking after Gia.

I get in my car and drive to my company building. I enter the building and past reception, where the receptionist is giving me a fake smile.

I walk to my elevator and go inside. I get to my floor before going over to Sam's desk and waiting there. He appears a minute later and looks smiley.

"Hi sir", he smiles. I give him a look and he stops smiling. "Is everything ready for tonight?" I question. "Yes sir", he says, handing me a coffee. I thank him and go into my office.

I work for a while before getting a call from Antonio, saying something is up at the main warehouse. I tell Sam I'll be there an hour before the gala tonight and that I had to go. 

I get to the warehouse and get out of my car. I walk to the do where two guards stand. "Don" they say letting me in. I nod and put on my cold face. I walk through the halls and see Antonio.

"What happened?" I question. "There's a guy saying some shit about the Russians, but saying he'll only talk to you", Antonio replies.

"Okay, take me to him", I say and we walk to a cell. There sits a man, I don't recognise him. "What do you want to tell me?" I ask coldly. "I know who the second in command to the Russians is", he says happily.

"Everyone here does, get to it", I demand. "I shot his bitch", he states, smiling. "Who?" I ask. "She had black hair, really white skin and was fucking hot", he says licking his lips.

Snow.

He shot Snow.

My Snow.

I see red. I instantly take my gun from my belt and shoot him between the eyes. He falls to the ground with a thump. I'm seething with anger. How dare he.

But Snow seemed fine when I saw her yesterday. Maybe that was an act. I don't know.

"What the fuck?" Antonio shouts. "He shot Snow", I say tucking my gun in my waistband. "He what, that fucker", he says. We walk to my office and I unlock the door. We step inside and I sit at my desk.

"I'm thinking about a deal of peace with the Russians", I say. Antonio looks at me the does a double take. "Are you serious?" He asks me.

"Yes" I say, smirking. "I'll find out who the Pakhan is", I say to him. "Ohh, that's smart" he says thinking about it.

"Yes I'm thinking about asking Snow to ask Nikolai", I say, standing up. He stands up as well and holds my shoulder. "Do it", Antonio says.

I nod and leave the warehouse. I drive to my house and go inside. I go straight upstairs and take off my blazer. I unbutton the rest of my shirt and take it off. Then I take off my pants leaving me in my boxers.
