The Devil's Angel (Angels of the Underworld: Book One) (✔️)

Chapter Fourteen (Edited)

We left the bookstore about twenty minutes later. I told Stefano about the man, David, and he wanted to leave right away but I still wanted to look for books.

We stopped by Carlo's and the bakery for some food before finally going home. The second we arrived, Stefano rushed to find Vince. Stella told us that he was in the basement so that's where we went.

I stopped when I got to the bottom step and saw all the men looking at me. I know they'd never hurt me and I've met most of them but being in the room with all of them at once messed with my anxiety so Vince usually didn't have them all over at once.

I went to go back upstairs but then I saw Vince coming my way.

"What's wrong?" He asked, instantly knowing something was wrong.

"I left her side for like five minutes, Boss." Stefano said and Vince tensed up.

"I told him I'd be fine. He just wanted to look at some books." I explained.

"What the f*ck happened?"

"Some guy approached her. Said his name was David."

"He started talking to me about you. He asked if I knew what you really did for a living and that he'd hate it if something were to happen to me."

I could see Vince's anger rising with every word.

"She rushed back to me and told me what happened and I went to confront him but he was gone."

"What did he look like?" Vince asked and so I told him.

His whole demeanor changed the second I told him what he looked like.

"Bambina, why don't you go and put your new books up."

It was a demand and I listened because I knew things were about to get loud and ugly.

I really wanted to know who the man was and what he really wanted but I didn't say anything.

I went into the small library that's right beside Vince's office and began putting my books up. As I was doing so my phone began to vibrate.

From Adrianna:
Hey, my father said that Vince did not RSVP. Just wanted to see if you're still coming.

To Adrianna:
I guess it slipped his mind. Put us down and we'll be there. Love ya.

From Adrianna:
Okay. Love you too.

I walked out of the library with one of my books in hand and headed to the garden. Yes, there was snow on the ground but I don't mind the cold. The cells Cristiano used to keep me and the others in were always freezing so I guess I got used to it.

I was eight chapters into my book when Vince joined me.

"What are you reading this time?" He asked sitting down.

I ignored him.

"Tesoro, are you mad at me?"

Ignored.

He grabbed my chin and forced me to look at him. "Juliet, why are you ignoring me? I won't ask again."

I sighed. "I know that there are some things that you can't tell me but that man approached me. I have the right to know who he is and what he wants."

He let out a sigh and ran his hand through his hair. He only did that when he was stressed or frustrated.

"He's FBI. He came to see me today at the office. He said that he knows who and what I am and that he won't stop until I'm behind bars for good."
