Mafia Queen

Chapter 1

Arabella's POV
I woke up in a stranger's bed and when I checked my phone on the nightstand I cursed and quietly jumped out of the bed, found my clothes, got dressed and found my keys, and ran out the door. When I walked outside and turned around briefly my breath caught in my throat. Holy shit this house is massive. I heard the thump of a door, and I ran to my black Lambo in the driveway. I clicked open the door with my keys jumped in and started it. I leaned back and let out a breath as I backed it out of the driveway and sped home. No cop dared to chase me for I’m Artemis the Queen of the Underworld and they knew my fake license plate by heart. They saw it, they drove the other way, I am not a person to mess with. I parked in the big driveway at my father's mansion, I saw that the driveway was full of sports cars with one car vaguely familiar. When I dropped my mirror down, I cursed. I had a hickey on my neck and I opened my glovebox to find my Glock, a medical kit, and my makeup bag. I grabbed my makeup bag and covered it up. I fixed the rest of my makeup as well before putting the kit back and putting my mirror back up and changed my clothes with the ones I kept in the back in a bag. When I changed, I hopped out and walked into the house.
“Daddy? Dad? Are you home? I'm sorry about last night it just surprised me!” I called out.
“Honey is that you? We’re in the living room come Моя дочь.” he called to me. (My daughter.)
“We?” I asked as I stepped into the room. I was surprised when I saw the man, I had slept with sitting next to my father with my friends behind him with their arms crossed and they were glaring at the man's back as if they wanted to kill him.
“Ficken,” I said in a language only the girls understand. Their attention snapped to me. (Fuck.)
“Was? Kennst du diesen Mann?” Carmen asked. (What? Do you know this man?)
"Ja, ich hatte letzte Nacht einen One-Night-Stand mit diesem Mann" I responded. Their eyes widened and cursed. (Yes, I had a One-Night-Stand with this man.)
"Umm Arabella, das ist der Mann, den du hast, eine arrangierte Ehe, Alessandro" Freya said. (Umm Arabella, this is the man you have, an arranged marriage, Alessandro).
“Well, that makes it a little weird,” I said in English with my thick Russian accent.
“Ja. You definitely should have asked his name first.” Scarlett said chuckling. I sighed and sat across from my father while the man's eyes followed me.
“Start explaining before my girls get trigger-happy,” I said with a sadistic smirk and my girls reached for their guns on their belts.
“I’m Alessandro Russo and our mothers were best friends and as soon as we were born our marriage was arranged. When we were 13 your mother passed, and your father couldn't take it any longer as you know so my mother decided that at least one of us should know before we turned 20 and so she told me. I decided that I wanted to know what my Queen would look like and act like around people. When I saw you with that young child in the alley and how you treated him, I knew you would be the perfect Regina. How is the child by the way?” he explained. (Queen)
“He’s fine, see? André venez ici s’il vous plaît!” I called and a little boy in a T-shirt and jeans came running over. (André please come here!) I placed him on my hip and kissed his forehead.
“Soeur !! Qui est cet homme étrange ? Est-ce que tu me quittes?” (Sister!! Who is this strange man? Are you leaving me?)
“Oui, elle partira bientôt mais vous pouvez venir avec nous si vous le souhaitez? Nous avons beaucoup de place à la maison?” Alessandro said.(Yes, she will leave soon but you can come with us if you wish? We have plenty of room at home)
“No, I don’t want to leave here,” Andre said and Alessandro nodded.
“You speak French?” I said switching to English.
“Yes, but only enough to impress. You speak, Russian, German, French, and Italian?” Alessandro said.
“Da I also speak Spanish, Latin, Greek, and a few more. I will ALWAYS understand you. I speak around 15 languages maybe more. My favorite language though is my native language Russian.” I said. (Yes)
“Good to know, Artemis. speaking of which when is your next street race I’d like to race you.” He said with a smirk.
My father glanced at me and nodded in acceptance but silently warned me to be careful.
“Tonight Apollo. I look forward to beating your ass.” I said with a glare because he knew that I was angry because of his code name. While I was the Queen of the Underworld Alessandro is the King of the Underworld which is why me marrying him would be great for our Mafias, we would be the ultimate power couple. He had a reputation for his torturing techniques and I had a reputation for winning all the races I entered and having one of the biggest drug trades, I was also known for my ruthlessness. When I asked for information I got it or there would be consequences that resulted in your death or being tortured. I was the best hacker in the world and highly sought after. I had even helped Alessandro before when he needed help with uncovering who was the thief of his stolen shipments.
“Oh, and Nyx says hello,” I said with a smirk before walking off up the stairs to my bedroom after letting Andre down and telling him to go to his room. Nyx was my Hacker name and everyone knew that Arabella, Artemis, Apollo, and Nyx were close so no one dared mess with us. I had 3 names, my birth one and my 2 Mafia names, it gets so fucking annoying. I walked into my room and got dressed into a black halter crop top that pushed my boobs up with black leggings. I was wearing over-the-knee black heeled boots and I put my hair into a high ponytail. I put deep red lipstick on my lips, and black eyeshadow to go with my mascara and when I looked in the mirror I smirked, I looked drop fucking dead gorgeous. I grabbed the keys to my car and my small black purse with ammo in it in case. I walked downstairs and checked my smartwatch, fuck it was already 8 pm.
“Alright, bitches if you wanna get to that race let's go it's 7 pm and it starts at dark which is at 9-10. Just follow me, Carmen you’re with Alessandro and don’t try anything, or else I’ll cut off your balls Alex. Scarlett is taking Freya, and Harpers taking Violet.” I said taking lead and I walked out the door and went to my car. I hopped in and waited for everyone. Once everyone was in their cars I sped off knowing they were following me.

Alessandro’s POV
I watched her drive off and as I followed I started up a friendly conversation with Carmen
“What’s she like when you get to know her?” I asked suddenly.
“Who?” she responded looking up from her phone for a brief second.
“Arabella. What’s she like when you get to know her?”
“She had her heart broken when she was 14 and she doesn’t do relationships anymore only one-night stands like you were. She doesn’t show emotions and she hates fuck boys and if you fuck with her you’re not having any kids because she doesn’t fuck around and give second chances but she loves kids, she’s so patient with them, and she’d make a great mother and that’s why her father let her adopt Andre. She was kidnapped a couple of years ago and they raped her making her afraid to let men in control so take it easy on her, she has been through a lot. She is bi-sexual so if she looks at a woman and looks like she wants to fuck her let her because man if you don’t let her get her sexual frustrations out, you’re in for a ride. That girl is amazing in bed though so it’ll be worth the wait.” Carmen explained shutting off her phone and looking at me.
My eyes widened when she said that Arabella was good in bed, I mean that was her closest friend, her best friend.
“Wait what? You’ve fucked your best friend and boss?” I asked surprised.
“Da, that would be correct and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy it. We call each other friends with benefits. Yes, our other others know we fuck once in a while.” She said.
“How much is once in a while?”
“5 times a month sometimes.” She said shrugging.
“Wow. That’s ahem more than I expected.”
“Well, you were the one who asked about her sex life. I just answered your questions honestly,” she said. I realized we had arrived and I pulled up next to Arabella. I turned my Audi off and hopped out, Arabella did the same as she hopped out of her Lamborghini. She let her long hair down and flipped it so it looked tousled. I walked over to her and said, “I didn’t know that you and Carmen fucked. Sorry if my being a little blunt.”
“No, it's fine, yeah we do but she was supposed to keep it between us and the girls.”
“I am your fiancé so I guess I count.”
“I suppose we are getting married and I’ll have to share everything with you. You’ll have to do the same as well you know.”
“Yes, I suppose I will. I guess we’ll figure it out when we get there though.”
“Yes, we will.” She said sharply and walked off.
