The Mafia Rose

Chapter 7

Pietro's POV

Two years they have taken away from me, and a life from my father. He will never get released, he will never get to live a free life. He is forever going to be locked away never to be a free man.

Luca Bianchi caused this.
Him and his Russian snake Dimitri Levenski. Seeing Sofia last night brought it all back to me, I will get my revenge one way or another and I will pray on the weak to get it.

I was on my way to visit my father in prison, he took the blame so I was released to make Luca pay for what he did to us. My father wanted revenge, he saw Luca as a friend but really he was a backstabber wanting all the power for himself.

I went through all the security to get to my father, I was the only one who visited him now, mother had left him and everyone else involved left while they still had the chance. I would never leave him, he was my father, he was the one who taught me everything, he was the one I would get revenge for.

"My son, you look well."

It had been a month since I had seen him, his behaviour in prison effected my visiting.

"As do you papa, I have some news I think you will want to hear?"

He was going to love the fact Sofia was back, our informant in London had failed us, so her back in Italy was the best thing what could happen for us.

"If it's not about the Bianchi's I'm not interested." He said in a hussed tone not to get the guards attention.

"I saw Sofia last night in Firenze but she's not alone anymore."

I could tell my father was pleased, he knew our revenge would happen soon.

"Did you talk to her? And what do you mean she's not alone, I thought she had left your informant after he screwed up?"

He did quite literally 'screw up' but with the wrong girl.

"Ivan the Levenski boy, she is with him now and judging by how they were together last night it's pretty serious, getting closer to her might be a bit more difficult."

Ivan would watch her like a hawk, I just had the get Sofia's trust back.

"Don't worry my son, you was her first love, you will get her in your pocket in no time and then we will kill her."

Sofia's POV

Last night ended up being amazing, Ivan was much nicer than I thought he was going to be. I didn't really know what to expect from him but it wasn't this, he was kind to me and thoughtful, I could tell he wasn't an ice cream fan but he still had one for me.

It was 10am, I had slept in from getting back late last night. I made my way to the balcony nonna always served breakfast there when the weather was nice.

"Bongiorno Sofia, did you sleep well?"

Nonna was the first to notice me, everyone was to busy talking to one another, Ivan was the next to see me. I looked other at him, he had saved me a place at the table next to him and my mum.

"Mi amore, you look calmer than yesterday." My brothers and my mum laughed at my dad's remark.

"Ivan explained everything to me last night and I realise I was a bit irrational about it and I'm sorry about that."

Everyone including Ivan began to laugh at me.

"Irrational you was fucking psychotic." Dominic said through his laughter.

Even Giovanni had come round to the idea of me and Ivan, he must have brainwashed then all.

Everyone went back to eating their food, mum and Ivan's mum Natasha were talking about families and just random things, dad and the other men were all talking amongst one another apart from Ivan. He was just staring at me.

"What are looking at?" I said under my voice.

"You're so beautiful."

He must be joking, I had just gotten out of bed after having a late night and my hair looked like a bird was going to fly out of like.

I smiled at him not knowing how to reply, he then rested his hand on my bare leg under the table. If Giovanni saw he would flip the table over.

"What are you doing?" I whispered to him, I could feel my face go red. Someone would see us soon.

"Like I said last night your like my light and a need you."

He was so sweet but there was a time and place for this and this was not it. My dad soon interrupted us, he wanted to see Ivan and the others in the office, my dad was very open with us but something's were kept in private and I think that it is probably for the best.

Mum, Natasha and nonna all moved closer to me.
I Prepared myself to be bombarded with questions.

"So how was it last night? You got home late so it couldn't have been bad."

Mum was the first to go, and then Natasha which I felt a bit awkward with because it was her son, but she seemed really nice and open a bit like my mum. Nonna on the other hand was more worried about if I had slept with him or not, her being a Roman Catholic she thinks any man and woman on there own together means they must be having sex.

"Right I need to get dressed and you lot need to back off, I like him yes but I'm not committing to him yet. Okay?"

I turned and left them giggling like a load off teenagers, I couldn't commit on the engagement yet one good night couldn't shape my whole future with him.

I was walking up the stairs to my room as Ivan was walking out of my dad's office.

"Hey your not busy tonight are you?"

What has he got planned now.

"Not what I know of why?"

A grin started to form on his face.

"I can't tell you but make sure you are here at seven tonight, I've got to go to the shops so I'll see you later."

He kissed my cheek and made his way down the stairs. What is he planning?

I walked into my bedroom and sprawled out on my bed, just laying there thinking about a future with Ivan. If it did work do I really want the life of a mafia leaders wife?

I can't worry about something that might not even happen, I grabbed my phone from my bed side table and begain to look through it. I had spoken to work about some time off which they were fine with as long as I sorted next season's collection out which was easy.

I looked through my texts, I had one from Ivan even though I saw him five minutes ago and one from a number I didn't know,

' Hey Sofia, I don't know if your number is the same but if you get this I was wondering if you wanted to get a coffee this afternoon

Pietro x'

Ivan would be furious but me and Pietro have history and I still want to be his friend.

'Hi, yeah it's still the same, coffee sounds great do you want to meet at say around 4ish?'

Well it looks like a coffee afternoon for me, I better get ready.
