IGNAZIO'S POV:
Today was Saturday and Acacia was yet again hell bent on me going along with her.
I have so much shit to do of my own but nobody says no to the brat Princess.
"Acacia, I have a lot of work to do. I have to check our barns (A/N: Barns as in where they keep the mafia whores) and leave tomorrow for New York." I try and reason with her but she wasn't having any of it.
"Please. I want you to see me work my way up from step one." she makes a sad face.
"Alright." I sigh.
She fist bumps the air and walk away with a victory smirk.
I change into a black tee shirt with black jeans and join everyone for breakfast.
We leave the house around 10 am. Adrin said that he'd be there directly.
"Zio?" Acacia calls.
"Yeah?" I reply.
"Do you still miss her?" she asks.
"No." I reply almost immediately.
I did not need to be reminded of her. Not anymore.
"Do you have your eyes set on someone else?" she questions.
I open my mouth to answer but the sound of my phone going off cuts me and I pick it up.
"Hello?" I say.
"What do you mean he escaped?!" I exclaim in anger.
Acacia flinches but looks at me curiously.
"Fucking find him or else I will have y'all heads as soon as I get back." I shout into the phone and throw it on the dashboard.
"What happened?" she asks hesitantly.
"The man we captured who worked for Mexicans managed to escape. Fucking hell." I hit the steering wheel in frustration.
He was supposed to lead us to their warehouses where they kept their drugs and money so that I could plant a bomb there and blow the whole thing up.
"Relax." she said and I cast her a glance telling her to shut up.
She shrinks back in her seat and looks ahead, swallowing hard.
Parking the car in the parking lot, we get out and walk side by side quietly.
She knows not to talk when I'm upset.
Adrin arrives shortly and she runs to him obviously trying to get away from me.
I had to make a few phone calls so I made my way inside a little later than them.
A figure bumps into me and I involuntarily wrap my arms around her waist. Her face is buried in my chest so all I can see is her hair.
Her scent is so exotic like berries, roses and lotus mixed together producing a sweet, pleasant and a hard to miss fragrance.
She hisses and looks up rubbing her nose. My breath hitches as I see Ellaria with her eyes shut tight and one hand on my abs.
"Watch where you're g-" she starts but soon stops when she sees me.
I narrow my eyes slightly at her wanting her to continue but for some odd reason, she doesn't.
"I didn't know it was you." she says and clears her throat.
I nod and we fall in step together, not saying anything further.
The training starts and I can see that Acacia has somewhat improved. At least, if Ellaria is telling her to aim for the head, she's not aiming at the heart.
