Teach me how to Mafia

I suddenly felt everyone's gaze on me. Then I saw Lucio motioned his hand that made everyone stand at ease. No one inside the grand hall moves an inch as the incredibly horrible atmosphere become even more horrible, disgustingly dark and fearsome.

Hindi ko tinanggal ang tingin ko kay Lucio at papa. They are standing from the door not affected by the pressing surrounding. I want to speak to him but my voice just won't come out.

"Are you going to stand there forever? You think I'm willing to stand and stare at you 'til eternity?" I slowly turn my head to where the daring comment came from. She sounded so brave and rebellious. All the eyes that were staring at me had fallen on her, but she just shrugs them off so easily.

Lucio clapped his hands and chuckled. He walked to his seat and so did papa. "You should stop being so impatient, Grim." Lucio calmly suggested towards Grim.

Everyone seated after Papa and Lucio had taken theirs. Curiosity attacked me so suddenly. What's with my father? Why is he so comfortably walking, standing, and existing beside a Lucio Pierini?I took my seat just like everyone did and turned my head down, avoiding their gazes, and then I heard Grim snickered from beside me.

"Tell me that again when I already care." She again gathered everyone's attention as I remained astonished to her utterly rebellious behaviour.

How can she be so bold and unafraid despite all these deadly glares she's receiving?

Reactions from everyone in the table flooded the gathering. They all seemed offended from what she said. But she's all calm sitting from beside me. Nakaupo lang siyang parang walang nangyayari sa paligid niya. I can hear people say different sorts of things towards her. I tried my best to scan the faces of the people attending the lunch, all of them were plastered with annoyed expression except Evzen, a guy three seats from him, Larkin, me, Lucio and Papa.

Then someone from the other end of the table suddenly speaks, "Why is an impudent brat here anyway?" he charged. I saw Grim lift a side of her lip. She definitely embodies danger. She picked up a knife from her utensil set and played it in her fingers. She face forward and look straight to my father and said, "Why is an old fart present in this table?"

Her voice was loud enough that it echoed once inside the hall. What the hell? Is she crazy? The tension in the atmosphere become unbearable especially when the guy who called her a brat slammed his fists against the table and intently look at her before saying, "You want to take this outside or you want to die here?"

He gritted his already gritted teeth and waited for Grim's response, apparently, Grim is impassively looking at my father, seemingly unaware of the guy's dare and it made the guy angrier.

"Grim Zaccardi, face me, you bitch!" he shouted and a cold knife suddenly passed through my vision that send shock to my whole body almost immobilizing me.

What the hell is going on? That knife might have killed me if it was thrown and I happen to bend myself forward! Fvck. I can feel my heart racing, beating and pounding its way out of my chest. My astonishment drained when I realized that Grim was actually holding the knife thrown in her fingers.

"Did you say something?" she perceived. She sounded so innocent upon asking that, if I were the guy, I'll get furious as hell too. Goodness, this woman is unbelievable.

"I said, face me, you bitch." The guy from the other end repeated.

Grim smirked and the shape of her lips being lifted on the side told my guts to lean to my chair and don't get in the way. Getting in between them is unquestionably dangerous.
