Kidnapped by the mafia

CHAPTER 12: Shooting

VIOLET'S POV

"Tracy you can't like someone like Giovanni." She pouted.

"Why not?" She whined.

"Because he is not who you think he is. Please you will end up hurt." I told her.

"I want to see this new adventure where it will take me." She rolled her eyes.

She just doesn't understand. She could get killed. She could be tortured. I don't know what kind of man Gio is, he is always nice to me, but with Tracy? I don't know how to feel about it.

"Why are your eyes puffy anyways? I wanted to ask you the second you entered but I felt you didn't want to talked about it." She said looking sadly at me.

"I really don't want to talked about it." I said looking at the coffee cup I was holding.

"Fine. You have been keeping things from me but it's okay. When you feel like telling me I am all ears, and you already know that I am always there for you." She smiled and I mirrored her smile.

She really knows what to say in these situations. Being friends for more than 20 years, makes her know me more than I know myself.

"Oh here is your boyfriend." She winked at me and I instantly froze.

I was not ready yet to face and see him. I wanted some peaceful moments away from him. He doesn't have to pop up every second.

"I can't believe I will say this." Vincenzo said under his breath, which no one caught but me. What was his problem. Is there another torture? Oh God please no.

"What is it?" Tracy said noticing the tension between Vincenzo and I.

"Tomorrow you will both go back to work." Vincenzo said.

There was a spark of happiness inside of me. I feel like I was over the moon after the words he said. Was I really outside the mansion?

"Thank you." I mouthed.

He's empty eyes looked at me. He didn't say anything but look at me. We had a staring contest. I still hate him for what he did, but why does my heart ignores me?

Why it is that every f*cking time I look at him, my heart would beat crazily? He is not a night in shining armor. He was the devil. He tortures, he kills, he smuggles  and all that shit illegal people do.

First thing I did when Derek got involved in a gang is break up with him. Why was it so easy with Derek back then?

I didn't want to get involved in any illegal activity. That was my point.

Karma is a batch really!

Here I am, in a mansion with the devil himself, the Italian mafia boss.

Vincenzo Mercanti

"I want to speak with you alone, Violet." Vincenzo said and I froze, my blood running cold in my veins.

I wasn't scared anymore about the beast I witnessed not long ago.

No.

I was afraid to stay alone with him. I was afraid of my feelings.

"Okay boys let's go." Tracy said, it's then that I noticed Mario and Paolo.

They both followed Tracy outside the room.

Vincenzo sat next to me on the couch. We were inches apart as he never looked away from my eyes. He raised his hand, and I flinched. He looked at me with hurt. He brushed a strand of hair from my face and rested his hand on my face.
