Reuben

The meeting ended pretty quickly; We made amends with some assassins who had been torturing us like hell; finally, that war was over.

I haven't seen Victoria the rest of the day since the murder I did... I hope I didn't freak her out. Bullshit I definitely did I let my anger out on that motherfucker shit I'm an idiot
————————————
I was in the bathroom just getting out the shower,I stared down at where I was standing and started getting flashbacks,

All those nicknames the devil himself Lucifer demon from hell are all true

I did something in my pay I hope I never do again, One reason why Marco hated me and he had a good reason to,

I wouldn't have forgiven me if I was in his shoes. That night I killed his wife Casey, I'm not ready to explain it yet it's to much for me

It was one reason I can't trust people and why I went crazy over Victoria and Damian. Marco was my best friend back then. I just wish I've never met him.

Another reason why I don't wanna let Victoria in. And I know for a fact she will see me as the monster if I tell her about my past It would traumatize her more than she is...

Victoria
I couldn't sleep at all, It was 3 in the morning and I've been rolling all around my bed. I got up and decided to head to the kitchen, I got some water and chugged it down my throat

I heard splashes coming from the backyard, I've haven't gone to the backyard since the Marco kidnapping thing. I didn't want to check it out my I was curious to see what it was.

Fuck you curiosity. I slowly policed my hand on the doorknob, I softly open the backyard door and see someone swimming in the pool. I walked up and saw Reuben swimming laps at 3 am?!

"Uh what are you doing" I walked up to him "Shit! Victoria what are you doing up?" Reuben flinches splashing water on me, "I um couldn't sleep" Reuben stared down at me wiping the water off my legs

"Oh same..." Reuben said while playing with his hair, "You swim in the middle of the night?" I smile sitting down on a chair next to the swimming pool, "Helps me get my mind off things" Reuben sighed

"What things?" I question curiously "Work" "Yea I guess being an assassin and heir of a mafia could be stressful" I giggle,

"Yea something like that" Reuben chuckled softly, "Well I should get some sleep-" I said standing up accidentally slipping on the concrete

"Fuck!" I shout falling into the pool, I felt Reuben's arms lift me up, "Shit I can't swim!" I shout, "Oh fuck" Reuben spoke holding me on his arms as I try catching my breath

"You okay?" He slightly smiled staring into my eyes, "I'm fine" I giggle, I then realized he had his arms wrapped around my waist while I had my legs wrapped around his?!

Reuben chuckles and helps me out the pool, "Great soaking wet" I whine squeezing my shirt as water was dripping from it, "That was cute" Reuben chuckled as he walked out the pool walking up to me

"How was that cute?! I just straighten my hair" I whine to Reuben, "Can't you do it again?" Reuben rolls his eyes "Yes but it take me 30 minutes!" I shout frustrated "Women" Reuben sighs

"If you were a women you would understand but no men have it all easy" I declared walking up to him as he picked up his towel, "Who said men have it all easy? Women can just show their breast and easily get anything they want"

Reuben rolls his eyes, "That's true..." I mutter under my breath, "Here it's getting cold out" Reuben wraps his towel around me as he stared into my eyes, It was getting pretty cold out but now he's soaking wet without a towel

"What about you" I ask "I'll be fine" Reuben walks inside as I follow behind.

——————————-
I groan as I hear my alarm go off on my phone. "Finally your up" I flinch and immediately jump out of bed seeing Calista in my room sitting across my bed having a magazine out

"What the hell Calista!" I shout turning my alarm off, "we need to talk" Calista walked up to me "Sure about what?" I question sitting back down in my bed

"Tonight's my gala, My parents are making me the Mafia godmother" Calista sighed deeply holding into my hands "Oh my god that's amazing Calista" I cheer in excitement for her

"No it's not, I'm not ready" Calista sighed holding onto my pillow like a teddy bear "What but your perfect" I try to cheer her up holding onto her hand

"I know this day would have come any day now but I wasn't fully prepared." Calista tears up, I've never seen Calista this worried. Her eyes were screaming fear for the very first time she seemed scared

"Calista your going to be great, Your already seen as the French Leader the only thing that will change is your schedule that's all" I calmly spoke to her

"We'll when you put it in that way feels like nothing at all will change" Calista rolls her eyes, "So that means you'll come?" Calista smiles at me changing her whole expression "Of course I will" I roll my eyes and smile at her

"Okay good,well now I have to sneak out of this mansion bye mon chèri" Calista gives me a kiss on and slowly opens my door shutting it softly

They definitely need better bodyguards, I overheard my phone ringing like crazy, I pick it up and see unknown number spamming my phone

I watch as more and more text messages go threw, I felt nervous to click on them but I did,

"Victoria, I need help, Missing, It's me, Selena, Trapped"

The messages said I felt my heart drop, Is this Selena?!
