Destined

Chapter 16

Capricia's P.O.V

I was shaking. Why was I shaking?

I quickly opened my eyes to see Dino tapping on my shoulder as he kept his eyes on the road.

"Mmmm what time is it?"

"It's around 6, we are entering the city thought I should wake you up"

"Thanks" I said as I got up straight in my seat and pulled down the mirror to see my face. I fixed my hair in a ponytail and looked over to him. He looked so peaceful, so calm but why wasn't he happy? Why would he be a mafia leader? Was he pushed into this life? What made him like this? I was too curious to know but not that curious to ask him.

As on que we entered the city and the radio caught the signal and started playing "on an evening in Roma." Somehow this was the perfect moment I had in my life. But to remember it for the rest of my life was going to remind me how this man besides me threatened my friends and my family. It suddenly seemed too painful for me and I started looking out of the window saying nothing, my deep breaths could be heard as the music came to an end.

"Piccolo Tesoro are you okay?"

"Yes. Absolutely. Why won't I be?" I said quickly wiping my teardrop. The boot and the bonnet opened, we were at the entrance of a hotel. It looked more like a resort in summer time. Dino drove in and we both got down and before the bellboys could get our stuff Paulo and Nikolai were already there.

"You are an idiot" I made a statement.

"How am I an idiot?"

"Because you never told me I was supposed to go with Dino and you took my stuff too. I was sitting on the stairs waiting"

"Okay I'm an idiot" said Nikolai and we both chuckled.

"Carpricia come with me" said Dino extending his hand to me. He looked serious because he never said my whole name. I'm pretty sure last time he said my name I had him on gunpoint. We walked to the elevators.

"Don't we have to check-in?"

"What do you think Rafa is for?" He said and I couldn't help but chuckle. We went to the top floor of the building. We walked out and saw two room doors with men standing outside and we both went into the one of the left. This reminded me of the time me, Andy and Lori went to San Francisco for my birthday. I miss them. The room was majestic in the true sense. It reminded of my dad's estate.

"The room on the left is mine and the right is yours" said Dino.

"Thank you Dino"

"No, thank you Piccolo Tesoro. The minute I find this man you will be free and back home before you know it"

"Dino I need to tell you something"

"Go ahead" he said as I sat down on the couch in front of him.

"Even after you find him, I will just be moving out"

"Meaning?"

"I got a job here. In Italy, in Florence to be precise so I will just be leaving but not leaving Italy"

"Kat I'm very happy for you but you don't have to move out. Mi casa es su casa" he said and I smiled.

"Well thank you and I'll think about it"
