The Mafia's Flower ( #2 in the Mafia Series )

thirty

{ Reia's POV }

Everyone's eyes are on me as I walk into the room.
I see Vlad standing in front of the ring.

"I'm fighting her?" Vlad questions in a careful and concerned tone

"Unfortunately." I hear Cristian mutter

"Absolutely not. My daughter is not going to be fighting someone that you trained."
My father says

"She doesn't need your permission, just give her your support or I'll burn this whole council down." My mother says

Everyone looks at her in shock.

"We owe her this..." My uncle Marco says

"Damn right we do..." My uncle Enzo adds in

"I don't see why I can't fight her?"
Tatiana pouts

"That is a better idea." Stefan says

Before Cristian can speak Vera does, although she may not speak out on mafia matters much when she does. She's effective.

"Stefan of course you would think that, because you want Tatiana to marry Cristian so you'll be able to live richly outside of the mafia. That is why you had an affair with her married mother. Tatiana you don't deserve any right to fight Reia. In fact you don't even deserve to be near her, you are a rich spoiled brat who has always gotten her way, but yet you just want more power. We all know you don't care about the mafia or even my son, you don't belong here..and if it was up to me you wouldn't be, and neither would my stupid and unfaithful husband, who still believes woman can't speak on mafia matters." Vera says

I know that all of the girls in the room are in amazement, we'll except Tatiana of course. My mother seems proud of Vera. Stefan takes a step for Vera, but my mother and father stand in his way.

"How dare YOU?!" Tatiana starts yelling at Vera then she looks at me and screams "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT YOU STUPID B!TCH!"

She starts coming closer to me but I stand my ground and don't move an inch. Inside I speak up.

"I'm not stupid. I could possibly become a bitch but it seems you've already took that spot. Now calm down before you get yourself killed." I warn her

"DID SHE JUST THREATEN ME?!"
Tatiana asks Cristian, and he just looks at me strangely.

I keep eye contact with him.

"It was a warning at the least." Cristian says with a smirk

"This is all very dramatic, but I'm ready to see the real show." Thomas adds in smiling like a mad man

"Reia and the Russian may enter the ring."
Harry adds

Vlad looks offended they just called him the Russian. I almost laugh but I don't.

"I guess I owe you the chance to break me."
Vlad says to me

I give a nod and a soft smile as I say "That is true."
