HATE AND DESIRES (mafia enemies to lovers romance )

CHAPTER ONE

Vi's PoV :

I woke up super tired from last night. The spying mission was a success but I'm exhausted from quite literally dodging a bullet.

The unknown texts have not stopped since last week. It's probably someone playing a sick prank or someone really trying to threaten me but that usually doesn't work well for anyone who tires to threaten me. I'll find whoever this is but their number seems to be untrakable. I'm working on it. I look at last night's text/threat:

"If you don't stop this right now, I'll kill you and everyone you know, bitch."

What an asshole. Who does this person think they are? Whatever, I'll find them.

Too bad now I have to go train. My coach must be waiting in the gym I think so I head there. But as I'm on my way my father stops me.

"Good morning Vi" he says.

"Good morning Dad"

"You see, tonight we have to go to a dinner and you have to come along, it's important that you're there. Wear a good dress". Dad says.

I instantly hate the idea and ask, "Do I really have to be there ? Can I just not go this once ? I'm tired and you know I hate events like this."

"I know sweetie, but it's important. It's a family dinner. If this goes great, then we will not only gain reputation but more power, it's important to impress them"

My father never asks me to go to dinners, especially when it all about making a deal, but this is weird, why do I have to go.....
Whatever, looks like I can't say no.

"Ok dad, but only if you promise to tell me everything about this deal."

"Of course I will, don't worry about anything."

This is unusual. But I tell him that it's fine and then head to the home gym. Our house is no less than a castle with a medieval and a royal look but it's surrounded by all the latest safety technology. Probably the safest house in New York. The halls look straight out from the time of Queen Victoria with beautiful paintings hanging on the walls, thanks to mom. 

I head to the gym and train with coach Donna for an hour then we go for a jog. Donna has been training me in self defence since I was 13 years old and she is the only one I talk to my problems about. As were jogging she asks,

"So how did it go with your date on Wednesday ?"

She had to bring it up.....needless to say it was horrible but I tell her, " It was...OK."

"It was a disaster wasn't it ?"

"Yeah...you know I don't have time for men right now. I have responsibilities, plus my 21st birthday is coming up and that means I'll have to take over. And I really want this. This is my main focus right now along with the DA mission."

Donna gives me a loon of concern at hearing that and says, "I don't think the Dark Alley missions are doing YOU any good. I know what happened in the past was a tragedy but maybe revenge is not the best plan. You should consider letting it go. Plus you last mission was a huge success, maybe leave it at that."

"Absolutely not. This has been my aim since I was 16. I will take them down no matter what. You just don't understand." Then without giving Donna a chance to say even a single word, I head home to my room.

I take a cold shower. And then dress up for the meeting with the BOD today. I also have to go to the base and and get information on the man that Mr Ramiro asked for.

—————————————————————

It's 6 pm and I'm at the base after the meeting. The meeting was boring as always thought our profits are pretty good. I head to the IT department and meet on of my most trustworthy friends, Felicity Boggs. She is smart, clever and has been my friend since 4th grade.
