to capture a heart

Lorenzo's ball

Lorenzo Russo

I stepped out of my gym by 7:30 pm to go shower for the ball. I saw Kai and a girl together laughing, and then I saw the blonde bitch I'm supposed to take with me. After Vivian saw me and her last night I couldn't forgive myself for it. I wore my fresh suit which cost me a couple of grand. I sprayed my favourite perfume, it was strong and once I entered the room everyone knew. It was my signature smell.

I walked over to see them all in the car, I hopped into the driver's seat and saw Kai in the passenger seat next to me. "Is she a slut or a real girl?" He furrowed his eyebrows "Slut". We both chuckled as I drove. Vivian better be here tonight. I sped through most of the traffic lights since they were taking too long to fucking go green.

We eventually made it to a grand hall. It was covered in decoration and had many tables for the guests and a massive dance floor, alongside it had so much food. I saw nobody here so me and Kai decided to talk about what he was going to do, join my Mafia or stay with his fathers. "I really want to stay with your Mafia especially since ours is back in Cambodia, and I don't have a place here and also Rith is the Mafia king for Luciano." He rambled on and on. Rith was his older brother, only his name originated from Cambodia, his parents got tired of the last 2 I'm guessing.

"Stay with me, you're my best friend you can live in my house Kai. Your father won't mind I've spoken to him and he said as long as you're happy and our allies don't cut then you can join me".
A bright look came on Kai's face. "Oh my God bro this is going to be fun." I groaned sarcastically as he pushed me over laughing.

After an hour people started to rush in. Many big Mafia's came today. Flying from different countries after hearing 'Lorenzo Russo is hosting the ball'.
Many of them came to greet me, I groaned internally after realising I had to talk all night. My father used to host balls, his were gruesome. He would play dares or dares. They would be absolutely horrible, such as cutting your fingers off or slicing your own throat. Just to show you're not a pussy and so he doesn't cut allies with you.

Finally, I heard the only mafia I wanted to hear. Everyone was silenced once they walked in. "Matteo River and Chiara River the Fury mafia". Out of pure respect, everyone silenced and stared at them smiling. I couldn't care less. Then I saw Vivian.

Vivian River

"Vi if you don't open this door within 10 minutes I will break it and shove it through your throat" Adri kept banging on my door.
I groaned "Adri fuck off I'm just putting finishing touches". He hummed and walked away. I quickly adjusted my dress and put my earrings on. Finished.

I walked out after taking 5 hours to get ready. I mean we were only an hour late..

I interlinked arms with Ash as I got compliments from everyone. We sat down and sang loudly, everyone told stories as we all laughed. "I remember when Chris was so drunk and we got him to open a Coke bottle with Mentos and he thought he did something and tried to drink it all". We all bursted out laughing breathlessly. Drunk Chris was the funniest shit ever.

We finally made it to an extravagant grand hall. It was decorated thoroughly with beautiful flowers. The man who's hosting must have a thing for decoration huh?. I interlinked arms with Ash and he smiled at me. We walked in and immediately I saw Kai and Lorenzo sitting on the floor at the end of the stage. He glared at me furiously as he saw me with another man.

His jaw tensed alongside his palm which was in a tight fist. "Breathe Vivian" Ash whispered. I took a deep breath and smiled at him.

"Wanna dance?" He nodded as we both took ourselves to the floor. He respectfully placed his hands on my waist and we moved slowly to the music. I got to know a lot about Ash throughout the dance. However, he got hungry and went to get food. I was on the dance floor waiting for him until I felt a presence in front of me.

I knew who it was. Lorenzo Russo. I looked up at him as he put his hand out to me "May I have a dance Mrs River". I squinted my eyes and furrowed my eyebrows in confusion "Mrs?" He smirked "You're my wife, I would've said Russo however I'm not sure you're ready for that title until I put a ring on it".

I chuckled sarcastically "You'll never put a ring even 10 feet near me". He raised his eyebrows as he placed his hand dangerously near my ass. "Oh you have no idea how close I can get to you Vivia".

I rolled my eyes as we swayed to the song. He spinned me around and I landed back with my hand on his chest and our lips inches away from each other. He stared at me hungry.

"Fuck Vivian, why are you with another man?" I looked down at the floor trying to not cry
"Why were you with a stripper last night?" He had nothing to say. I didn't even expect an answer to be realistic.

"I'm sorry, Vivian I can promise you if you take me seriously you'll never see another female even near me, you won't catch me looking at one with lust, I just don't understand why you didn't at least say goodbye" he spoke with a sad tone.

I glanced at his hurt face "I'm sorry Enzo, really. He threatened to disown me and everything. I had to choose between you or family and I physically couldn't".

His face slightly relaxed "Oh, that's why." I know he was hurt by my Dad and he really craved my Dad's love again. I was going to get him that love again.

After a little while of dancing, Ash left the ball since he had a couple of things to do with his kids. He was a single father as his baby's mum left her kids. Shocking huh. Lorenzo called a couple of announcements and made jaw-dropping deals. He got $100 million from the Laurier Mafia for just protection nothing more. I didn't realise how massive and respected the Vipers really were.
