The mafia's girl

Luca's POV
____________________________

It's been a month, three weeks, and six days since Ella and I started dating and everyday I'm more sure I love her. More sure that my love grows for her everyday, but less sure about the time I have left that I'm able to keep my secret from her.

We have an extended weekend so I'm currently in HQ. I do have a room in HQ , but above my mom's restaurant is where we have an apartment

Today had an eerie feeling though. I ran to the kitchen because I heard my mom scream. I was also going to the kitchen anyway because I always help my mom and my older sister Camilla make breakfast for loads of people.

I booked it to the kitchen and my mom was crying. And wow does it take a lot for my mom to cry.

"Mom?" I ask but she still stays quiet.

"Mom" I practically yell. She doesn't respond with words but with silent tears slipping down her face and hands me a brick with a note attached. Oh classic brick through the window to deliver a note. Ever heard of a mail box? Like seriously. Whatever at least they weren't hurt.

I take the note and read it.

'Dear Luca,
So you have a girlfriend. Now we know your weakness. Oh and be very sure to keep a close eye on her, don't want her getting taken now do we. I want her. And what I want I get. Remember that boy. The mafia will fall under my control and you... you will have nothing not even your precious Ella. Watch your back because I'm coming for her. And that's not a threat it's a promise
- the R.M'

I know exactly who it is. It's the new head of the Russian Mafia. His dad always wanted my mom and was ready to kill for her. He took her and when he saw she was pregnant with my oldest brother he killed him. Forced an abortion on her. Now his son wants Ella, MY Ella, and that means war.

I then look at my mom.

"This can't happen to her it can't I don't want what happened to me happen to her. She's stronger then I ever was but it's not something to be taken lightly we need to bring her here we need to tell her the truth. They'll also be after her family so we need to bring them here as well. Go tell your dad and have him hold a meeting in the conference room." My mom told me. Spoken like a true leader.

She then added. "You have to tell her and do it today because there's no telling when something will happen." I already know she loves Ella even though they've only met once. And I know my dad is the same way. He loves her but doesn't think she'll be able to handle our 'life style' but I know my Ella is strong enough.

Ella's POV
______________

Today's Saturday and we have extended weekend so I also have Monday and Tuesday off. That also means spring break is next month.
I wake up around ten thirty-ish and get up and do my morning routine. Today I'm wearing a white sweater with intricate designs on it. It brings out the color of my hair to make it look a lot lighter then it really is. I also put on slight makeup.
I then get a text from Luca. This instantly puts a smile on my face, but quickly changes to a frown when I read what it says.

'Ells we need to talk, meet me at the restaurant in twenty minutes. ❤️'

There could be so many thing that he's talking about it gives me a bad feeling. Should I be worried or should I just think it's nothing what should I do. So I text back.

'Ok'

About twenty minutes of me stressing later I'm at the restaurant and still nervous. He comes up to me and hugs me as if it's the last time he'd be doing so.

He took me to his living room in the apartment his family had above the restaurant and we at down on the couch.

"Luca your scaring me what's wrong I know something is. D-did I do something wrong?" I ask afraid of the answer. In return he just sighed.

"Ella my sweet angel. I haven't been telling you the whole truth." I knew something was up.
But I let it slide and let him continue. This time.

"I feel like everything always goes back to the day we met." He sighed but then continued.

"The day we met I told you people didn't like my family... I also told you it could put you in danger. Ella my beautiful Ella no matter what happens will you please trust me, please don't hate me." He said with pleading eyes.

"Now why would I hate you?" I ask confused but slightly laughing to try and lighten the mood. Like the atmosphere is so ridiculously thick I could cut it with a knife.

"Because you're in danger and it's all my fault." He sighed.

"You're joking aren't you" I ask not wanting him to be serious.

"Here" he hands me a partially torn and crinkled note.

I then read it in my head

'Dear Luca,

"Luca what's going on what does that note mean because it's blanked out the what will fall under his control. And who's the R.M. What's going on?" I question scared out of my mind.

"Ella I-I'm part of the mafia. Soon to be 1st in command."Wha. The mafia what the hell.
