Vendetta

CHAPTER 25

It's been a few days since we've been here and everything is so beautiful. We really enjoy it. Lucas called me a couple of times, but I told him not to call me. I believe he is angry and crazy, but we can't have everything we want in life.

It's time for dinner, a very good restaurant is opening, and I believe it's run by someone who has a lot of money because everything is in glass, the lighting is made of crystal, it's wonderful.

We reserved a table a few days ago. I put on a long black dress, with thin straps, a large neckline, and a slit on the left side of the dress. I love dresses like that. My hair is a wet look, all the way back. The girls did my hair and makeup.

We arrived at the restaurant, and when we entered we were led to our table. I feel that everyone is looking at me, and that everyone is turning. I know I'm beautiful, because I've been told that all my life, but I've never gotten used to those looks, because I feel somehow strange. I want to live freely.

"Alison, everyone's looking at you." Gabriela said as we sat down at our table.

"I know, I can feel it. I'm sick already."

One hour later

We opened the champagne, which the waiter brought us. Jessica poured us all, and we all toasted. I took a very small sip, just to taste it, when I'm not allowed to drink anymore.

"Girls, someone is going to give a speech." Sanela said.

"Welcome to our newly opened restaurant. We are very glad to have you here, all of you. I will ask you to stand up and listen to our boss, the owner of this restaurant, he wants to say a few words." Said one of the workers.

I sat down for a while, until the owner came.

"Who the hell is this perfect man." I rose to my feet, and looked at the man I had threatened with the gun, and he at me. Shit. With a sigh, I sank back into the chair.

"Girls, I'm going back to our hotel, I'm tired. Enjoy yourself." I took my purse and headed for the exit, but Gabriela stopped me.

"Take the car key, we'll take a taxi back, because we'll definitely be going somewhere else, after restaurant."

"Okay, I love you."

"Love you too." She answered, and returned to the table.

It's time to run away, before he finds me.

Hotel

I finally arrived. I took off everything, took a shower, put on a nightgown, tied my hair in a high bun, and made myself some tea.

I ordered something sweet to be brought to my room. I went out on the balcony, and the view is more than perfect. I am so happy that I am on vacation. Except for that idiot, of course. I can't believe I was in his new restaurant.

"I'm coming." I shouted when I heard the doorbell ring. I hope they brought me some delicious piece of cake.

I opened the door, and quickly tried to close it, but I've been having no luck lately, so it's not strange. I enjoyed what I enjoyed these few days, now it's over.

Nobody knows what happened to me a few days ago, I don't want them to worry. I'm a mob leader, I can take care of myself.

He raised his gun and pointed it at me. We quickly moved away from door. He went inside and closed the door behind him.

"Good evening muñeca (doll)." I'm having a really good evening.

"Why did you come, what did I do to make you want to kill me?" He listened to me carefully, and after a few seconds put away his gun.

"Can we talk?"

But we have nothing to talk. Do the work you need to do, or I'll do it for you, but you'll be dead. Get out, I don't know what you want from me. Are you following me?"

"Muñeca, you came to me. I rule here." I opened my eyes wide.

"You rule?"

"Yes, I rule." He answered.

"Who are you?" I asked him, a bit confused.

"I am Maximilian Fernandez the leader of the Spanish Mafia."

"WHAT!?"

"I want to get to know you better, I like you. I didn't come to kill you. That day in the garage when I tried to help you, that was the only reason why I picked you up. All those people around me were my security guards. At first glance, I liked you, because you are very beautiful, and fucking sexy. I know you have a husband, and that he is Lucas Vennetti, but I can't forget you, since I saw you, my head is never at peace after I saw you."

"I... please don't tell me that again. I don't want a war between the two mafias again. Get out of here, I hope we won't see each other again."

"I didn't do anything to you, let us be friends, let me take you to lunch tomorrow."

"I don't know how much I can trust you."

"You have to give me a chance to find out."

"What makes you think I would give you a chance?" What is he thinking?

"Because I know you like me, and you're afraid to be near me." I looked at him, and I didn't know what to say. What's wrong with this man.

"I'm not afraid of you, I don't even like you. You said lunch tomorrow. It's fine, but I'm coming alone, I don't want anyone to pick me up. And now you're leaving."

He came closer to me, but I started to move away from him, until I fell on the bed.

"Ahh.."

He reached my ear.

"You're blushing, that must mean something. See you tomorrow muñeca." He got up and went outside.

What happened? Is someone playing with my life, is this a joke. Why did he appear in my life right now?

I can't get any sleep. A million thoughts run through my head.

Maximilian Fernandez, something is missing.
