to capture a heart

Base

Vivian River

I woke up the next day with Enzo's soft fingers playing with my hair. He gazed at me with awe. I yawned as I covered my mouth making sure he didn't smell my morning breath. "Morning" I longed out drowsily.

"Good morning Tesora." He beamed as he started to stroke my cheek. I stretched my whole body kind of shaking from how good it was. Enzo stared at me kind of confused about why I shook. I giggled and turned away from him.

He picked me up effortlessly and kissed my neck. "Shh it's morning I don't want to do anything." I said quickly and pecked his lips. Suddenly I heard American wedding from Frank Ocean blast and heard a couple of female voices singing it. I giggled knowing it was Fi and Dhalia. "american divorce!" I heard them scream.

Enzo rolled his eyes obviously despising the idea of this many people at his house at the crack of dawn. After we messed around for a while we got up to see breakfast being served by the chefs. I sat down next to Dante and Enzo. We were caught in an argument with Chris and Fi.

"Vivia, would you like it if I said to you 'stop fucking moving so much' whilst you're sleeping?" I shook my head earning a glare from Chris. She turned to Chris eyeing him alarmingly.

He rolled his eyes and walked off to sit next to Adri and Dante. It was a little awkward and the rest of breakfast went by silently and quickly. I got up to go to the kitchen to wash my plate. I felt a hand slither across my waist and Enzo's soft lips placed on my shoulder.

I looked over my shoulder to see his eyes closed and his body relaxed. I turned around and put my arms around his neck. He kept his head down on my shoulders whilst hugging my waist. "Tired?" He groaned in response.

"Why don't we go back to bed huh?" He shook his head "We're going to my base to inform everyone about my father's arrival, then I have to host a ball and inform the mafia's about it." I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.

"Procedures." I nodded slowly trying to grasp the point of why it was necessary. I turned back around to finish washing the dishes. Enzo grabbed my arms before I could get started "Stop washing."

"I need to this is kind of my house." He hummed "You're my wife. I'll be damned if you even lift a finger in this house."

A small giggle erupted from my lips as I kissed him and walked away listening to him. We sat on the sofa as I saw everyone ready. Assuming they were leaving I sat there not making a move to get ready. "Everyone is going to my base," Enzo whispered in my ears making me realise everyone was waiting for me.

Kayden's raised his eyebrows implying on why I wasn't ready. I went red as I jogged upstairs to get ready. I wore a tight diesel top with some grey jeans. The top wrapped around my torso showing my curves off in the right places.

A strong aroma filled the room which presumably meant Enzo entered the room. "Let's go." I put my hand out to him which he held and we both went downstairs. We saw everyone dead silent so I pulled Enzo back "Am I missing something that's happening?".

Kayden heard that and his jaw tensed "Are you brain dead his fucking father is back." Enzo grabbed Kayden's shirt in anger "I know damn well you're not speaking to my wife like that cagna." Kayden's whole body language switched up in fear as Enzo let go from Dad yelling.

We got in the car and I could feel Enzo's fury. He was infuriated by his father's arrival. So were the men in the house. It was only Lia and Adri, Dante and Dhalia who weren't arguing. Adri couldn't raise his voice to Lia he would feel too bad.

Enzo's veins were popping out of his hands as he gripped the steering wheel. His jaw tensed as he didn't break eye contact with the road. He sped to his main base which took us 10 minutes. As we got out Enzo came round to my door to open it for me.

Still a gentleman.

Everyone walked towards the base as Enzo had to scan his thumb through a bunch of doors. We got through 5 doors when we saw a receptionist smiling at us and walking toward us. "Usual procedures Mr Russo?" He nodded as he sat on the chair waiting for the guards.

Dad's eyebrows furrowed in confusion about why we were being searched. Enzo shrugged his shoulders "You never know."

The guards took our IDs and then used a metal detector. Which was futile since everyone had a gun on them. Dad realised Enzo just wanted to waste time because he was nervous. "Enzo let's go." He nodded as he scanned his thumb through 10 more doors. He took us to his massive office. It had a table in the middle with bookshelves around. He had a beautiful view and lots of decoration.

On the intercom, he announced that everyone to come to the training room HRO. higher ranks only. Enzo walked us toward the training rooms which were extremely noisy and crowded. Nobody realised Enzo's arrival until he stepped into the boxing ring to get a higher level.

"Shut the fuck up." Enzo roared silencing everyone within milliseconds. Everyone turned to him waiting for him to speak. "Stefano Russo is back, spread the word between ONLY our mafia." He silenced for a while when a whisper came from a boy's mouth. His jaw tensed as he grabbed the boy's shirt smashing his head on the floor of the boxing ring. He applied pressure to the side of the boy's head "Wanna fucking speak louder whilst I am."

The boy cried in pain "I'm sorry Mr Russo." Enzo threw him back into the crowd. He got back to the boxing ring "As per procedure a vote will occur from this, Whether you want me or him as your leader. A ball will occur from every single mafia. I will personally pick 10 of you to join. Do training and show me what you're fucking worth."

"Yes, Mr Russo." The whole room shouted as they rushed to their training rooms. I stared at him as he walked towards me. "Dad go to your base and find 10 people." Dad nodded and took Adri and Chris with him. The rest of them chilled for a while at his base. I walked around with Enzo as he tried to find 10 people.

He liked none of them. "Hey, what about her?" He glanced at her direction "Her form is weird." He grumbled.

"Okay, what about him!" I beamed as he glanced at the boy "He looks funky." I hit Enzo's shoulder lightly "That's not nice."

He laughed and walked a little more. We came across a slightly younger boy. He was in the LRO training room and seemed to be worn out from punching. He started to rewrap his arms and was getting frustrated from it.

I walked over to him "Hey, would you like some help?" He sighed and nodded slowly allowing me to wrap his hands. Enzo walked up to me staring at the boy. I guess he reminded Enzo of himself.

"You're my first pick for the ball, give your name to Antonio." The boy's eyes lit up and he beamed "Thank you so much, Mr Russo." He ran over to Antonio who quickly wrote his name down.

Me and Enzo decided to go back to the HRO training rooms. As soon as we entered we heard some girls whispering "I heard Lorenzo picked a LR for first to go to the ball. His father's arrival messed his head up" They giggled as Enzo got infuriated just from hearing that.

He grabbed her neck and slammed her onto the floor. I swear I heard her bones break. "Wanna fucking say it louder?" He roared causing the entire room to turn their attention towards us.

She started to weep and groan in agony. "Fuck I'm sorry mr Russo." Enzo chuckled as he slid his tongue between his teeth. "You're being fucking let go, I don't wanna see you ever."

She ran out weeping as everyone quickly got back to what they were doing.
