Call Me Yours

Chapter 4 - Abandoned

I had woken up to Paola trying to drag me out of my bed. She'd apparently been sent to get me ready for my 'big day'. Gosh, I may aswell have been getting sent to get married. Did Dante really think I couldn't dress myself? I thought back to my work outfit that I'd been kidnapped in. Ah. That's why he thought I couldn't dress myself. It made sense, to be fair, it was so ugly.

I'd been dressed up flashier than I ever had before and bundled into a car with two very intimidating looking men. One I'd overheard was called Salvatore, he drove for around half an hour before parking up on a random empty road in the middle of nowhere. Something didn't feel right as he turned off the car and turned to face me.

"Oh my god, are you going to kill me?" All logic left my brain as every bad possibility filled its place. They were going to kill me weren't they. Was the whole infiltrating plan bullshit?! I scrambled for the door handle only to hear a click as the second man locked the doors.

He tutted and shook his head.

"Stop."

I decided that even if I broke out of the car I couldn't even run fast enough to save myself so  I gave up and took a different approach. I begun sobbing.

"PLEASE, don't kill me." Tears streamed down my face as I begged them, maybe they'd take pity and just leave me outside instead of shooting me?

"Cazzo, shut your whiny fucking mouth or I will kill you."
I immediately shut up.

"Someone will be here to pick you up and take you the rest of the way any minute. You're to attend the party and you'll be shown who to look out for. Don't mention a single thing about where you've been or about Dante. If you fuck this up you're dead."

Just like that another car pulled up beside us and a man came and opened my car door, leading me to the next vehicle. The man got back into the car and smiled at me, offering me his hand to shake. At least someone has manners. I shook his hand as he introduced himself,

"Ciao, I'm Nico."

"Hi." Considering he was also technically one of my kidnappers I didn't want to get too friendly with him, but he seemed a little nicer than the others I'd met.

"So, do you know what you're doing?" He asked.

"No, not really." I'd been told roughly but I still had no clue what he actually wanted me to do.

"We're going to an event of sorts. Its the De Luca family house. You aren't to mention anything about what you're doing, do not blow your cover."

"Umm, okay." I was so unsure about this.

"When we arrive, you'll enter as my guest, and I'll point out Alessandro De Luca, the son of Salvatore De Luca. He led our biggest rival family but he's since been killed and his son has taken over. They've been causing us big problems lately and Dante needs information." Nico turned to look at me, "your job is to find it out."

"Wait, find what out exactly?"

Nico shook his head.
"One step at a time, first he needs to trust you."

"Wait, you want me to seduce your rival mafia leader?" He couldn't be being serious. I thought I'd walk in and ask a random guy a few questions and leave. How was I supposed to do this? What if they found out?

"Si, exactly."

Holy fuck I couldn't do this.
"But what if they figure out who sent me? What do I do?"

He shrugged.
"Then if they don't kill you Dante probably will."

I had nothing left to say. All I could hope was that this Alessandro guy had zero female attention and would be so thrilled to see me that'd he'd spill all his secrets and I could leave pronto. Wait, how was I supposed to leave? Before I could ask that pretty important question Nico pulled up outside the most beautiful house I'd ever seen. I gasped at the massive water fountain and various fancy cars parked around the grand stairs leading up to the entrance.
