Matteo was a mafia boss. He had all the power in the world. Drugs, weapons, Human trafficking... whatever bad stuff you can think about, he was part of it. His father- Tommaso Gray, The God of Italian Mafia was a man of fear, the whole of mafia worl...
The alarm was loud at midnight, Leo had already got up; stretching himself. Jacques was sipping his coffee scrolling through his phone. Occasionally he glanced at Leo trying to get his attention. I went to the washroom looking myself in the mirror, my facial features told me how much I lacked sleep. I washed my face real quick, dressed up with a black turtle neck and white zip-up, I looked at myself in the mirror. Have I ever cared about how I looked? this was different, I wanted to look nice in front of Lucia not like some street thug with his blood-strained t-shirt. still, I had pocketed my Glock 49 in my torso. After I checked myself a couple more times, I checked on Leo and Jacques. they were talking to someone on a video call. noticing me Jacques turned the phone towards me, and for the first time in years, I saw Luciana's face. she moved away from the camera but I could tell that it was her, her black hair was dyed blond. before I could say anything it went to No signal. that made me grumpy, I looked at Jacques and said, "What was that?" giggling to himself he whispered he said," Well we broke it to Luciana and now she is all flustered." Leo shook his head in disapproval. "why the hell did you do that? she's not supposed to know." but Jacques continued, "Eventually she'll know one day, What's the big deal anyways? You two were childhood sweethearts. Everyone knows how flirty you guys were", those words shocked me, "What? For the record, Lucia hated me."
I made the angry statement more loud. Leo interrupted us "Stop, stop this you both. we got a flight to board. Remember." Jacques moved closer to Leo and whispered, "Sorry, babe." cooing to his ears, he looked over at me and mouthed 'sorry'. I felt guilty for some reason for making a minor apologize to me. we arrived at the Airport verified our passports and went through checking, before going into the metal detector, I handed over the paperwork for carrying a gun with me. After looking into it, they let us board the flight. These 11 hours will be more like having to go through a trial in court.
Lucia's POV:
It was a fresh day, my roommates were busy getting ready for the party tonight at Zion's place. "Lucia, Aren't you getting ready for shopping?", said Andrea. "I'm gonna pass this one," I whispered through the blankets, the weather was warmer which reminded me of home, and I realized Matteo's coming today. I rushed into the shower. "Where are rushing to now?", called out Andrea, " Her puppy love's here for her," Jennie replied giggling as she curled her hair. Inside the bath, I stripped and let the cold water run over me. With my toothbrush in one hand and soap on the other, I bathed and cleansed myself, stepping outta the shower, I wrapped myself in the towel. Tiptoed to my dressing table, I picked up the jeans and blouse that lay on it. Taking it back, I rushed to the shower again and slammed the door shut dressing myself up, I came out of the bathroom once again, with my hair wet and towel wrapped around my head. "You still haven't let go of that habit?", demanded Jennie.

"What habit?", I asked her. "This", she pointed at my wet hair and my wet face that was dripping water all over the floor. "Everyone fixes the face and dress up, you do it the other way around." "ahh, I couldn't let go of it." Anyways spill about your fiance." they settled around me. Rubbing my hair; I said, "Well he's my dad's friend's son." continued to rub my hair, and this annoyed them. "that's it? Didn't you say he was your first love..." asked Jennie with a gleam in her eyes. "Yeah he was, he was also my protector," I recalled the moments I had in the past. "Ho, so he was your knight in shining armor." "Yeah, he is."
I pictured his perfectly sculptured body which I saw on the video chat with my brother yesterday. I could feel my face getting hot, "Girl, you're blushing." "what? no, I'm not." I rubbed my cheeks with my cold fingers. "Were you imagining something dirty?", asked Andrea with her middle finger swooped in and out of her closed palm. "What? No, No. I didn't.", I stopped blushing more by rubbing my wet hair on my cheeks. I rose from the bed and again headed over to the dressing table. Suddenly, Jennie called out to me, and looked at Andrea, "Then what about your Boyfriend? Did you tell him or not?", she asked me demandingly. "I couldn't tell him. I don't wanna hurt him.", Ben is my boyfriend, we've dated for 2 months now. when I heard from my brother about my father's will. I know I can't go against it. so I tried so hard to break up with Ben. but he seems so nice and now I feel guilty for betraying him. It's hard to make decisions now that the situation become worse, but I've made up my mind to tell him tonight at the party. "I planned to tell him tonight.", both my friends looked approving. "Well good luck with that, we'll be off now, if you need anything specific, then text us." they left with their bags and shut the room behind them.
I looked at the clock, they'll be touching down in 15 minutes. I hurried over to put the makeup on my face, I picked up my phone and bag. I left the building trying to book a cab, then two black Lamborghinis, stopped and Gray's guards stepped out, they came towards me and handed over a handwritten note from my mother. She asked me to pick them up by going with the guards as our enemies were near me. I scanned the paper for a symbol denoting that it was not fake. When I saw it as a hidden watermark, I was convinced and got inside the car. They got me straight to the airport. They told me to wait in the car, but I came out and went to the pick-up spot. After about 10 minutes, a tall man appeared, his black turtle-necked shirt and white coat made him look like a devil in angel's clothes, and all eyes turned towards him. His aura was so manly that it would make any straight guy go gay for him. His gaze was stern like a predator looking for his prey, looking at his watch, he picked up his phone and called someone. My phone vibrated through my purse, I looked at my phone, and an unknown number flashed on the screen. I answered the call and placed in my ear, "Hello?" there was a second of silence from the other side. After certain seconds, A deep male voice answered from the other side, "Where are you?", he asked in a cold tone. "I- I'm near th- the Fifth pillar." His gaze turned to fix on me, I stood frozen unable to move my body. He walked towards me with his jaws clenched and his hand gripping a bag that hung on his shoulder.
"è molto tempo che non ci si vede, Lucia." he greeted me gripping my outreached hands, that I didn't realize I reached out. His cologne smelled so good, I wanna rub on him inhaling the sweet smell. His ripped body I accidentally saw on the video chat yesterday was in front of me flesh and blood.
