The Mafia's Secret Daughter ( #1 in the Mafia Series )

eight

{ Tori's POV }

After resting and thinking over my entire life, I hear a knock on my door. I go to open it for it to reveal Lorenzo also known as Enzo.

"Can I come in?" Lorenzo asks

I nod and let him in moving out of the way then shutting the door behind him.

"I told Luca that you got the information that we needed. I didn't tell him about you. I should have but I didn't. I think you should but it's your decision. I just told him Pietro traded sides because your father killed his."
Lorenzo tells me

"Just so you know I'm planning on telling him that the Russians are after me..but then I'm going to leave. Thank you for not telling Luca, and for giving me the chance." I tell Lorenzo

Lorenzo give me a simple nod then asks  "Why are they after you?"

"It's personal." I reply

"Fair enough. Are you ready to go see Luca?" Lorenzo questions

"Yeah. Wouldn't want to keep the boss waiting now would we?" I try to joke to lighten the mood so it doesn't get awkward

"No he can be very impatient."
Lorenzo jokes back

Lorenzo leads me down stairs to an office on the first floor. He knocks on the door and we here a "come in" so Lorenzo opens the door and I see Luca sitting behind a big wooden desk while looking serious as usual.

Lorenzo gently pushes me in the door but whispers in my ear "He'll understand."
Then he shuts the door behind me, leaving himself in the hall outside the door. Leaving Luca and I alone. I go and sit in the chair that's in front of his desk.

"Tori, you should know that you've passed the test. The only thing left is a tattoo sealing you to omertà for life." Luca tells me

"That doesn't really matter now. I need to talk to you about something." I say seriously but calmly

"What is it that you wish to talk about?"
Luca asks seeming interested

"Pietro turned on you because my father killed his but that's not the only reason. The Russians singled him out and were willing to work with him because they thought the girl they were looking for would come here." I tell him

"Did he say the girls name?" He questions

"Victoria." I answer

Luca just stares at me as an emotion that mirrors concern flashes through his eyes.

"They were looking for you." Luca says telling me he understands what I'm trying to say

"I didn't know that they were the mafia until today. If I did I wouldn't have come here, for many reasons. They probably already know that I'm here, and if they don't already they will within the next few days. Because of that I thought you and your family deserved to know. I'm leaving tonight and hopefully the Russians will find out that I've left." I tell Luca

His eyes show a flood of emotions, the only one I can single out now is anger.

"Why are they after you?" He asks with a different tone as if he's commanding the truth.
