Her Mafia Prince ✔️

Chapter 26 - I'm Not Part Of This Family

~ Gabriella's POV ~

"Adrian you need to tell me something, you never tell me anything."

"That's because it doesn't concern you Gabriella. Now please leave I have an important meeting-"

"It does concern me so, no I will not leave. I will be staying for your meeting unless you tell me what's going on." I narrowed my eyes at Adrian as I crossed my arms, refusing move from my place in front of his desk.

I heard Angelo laugh behind me as he watched this all unfold while Adrian just shook his head, mumbling something to himself under his breath before he stood up.

"We had an idea about who could help us figure it out-"

"We? We? You mean me. I had the idea, you just sat there." I turned to look at Angelo who was now standing next to me, also glaring at Adrian.

"Angelo had an idea. This person is supposed to be coming right now, so it's probably not a good idea that you're here-"

"The bitch is here Adrian." All three of us turned to look at Carlotta who was standing in the doorway. I watched as she stepped aside to allow us to see the brunette standing behind her with an amused smile on her very very red lips.

"Really Carlotta? We used to be bestfriends." The woman came into Adrian's office, her steps causing a small echo in the room from her high heels.

"That was before you were involved in a scheme that ended with my sister being killed by your ex." My eyes widened at Carlotta's words as she glared at the woman who just rolled her eyes in response. "I saved Adrian, show some gratitude."

When she said this she finally looked around the rest of the room, her eyes scanning over Angelo, Adrian and then me. Her eyes lingered on me for a moment before she turned her attention back to Adrian.

"You called?" She rose her perfectly plucked brow at him, waiting for him to reply.

"I need your help." When Adrian said this she looked at him in amusement as she walked further into the room. "You want me to help you get Matteo out of prison. I don't know Adrian, what's in it for me?"

So she already knew what this was about.

"Money, I'll pay you whatever you want." Every time Adrian spoke he used a cold tone, keeping all the emotion he was feeling out of his exchange with her. She nodded her head as she began to look around the room again until her eyes finally landed on me again.

"Who are you?" Her words didn't come out in a rude tone, just in a curious one. I gave her a small smile as I spoke. "Gabriella."

She still just gave me a blank stare until Adrian spoke.

"She's Matteo's girlfriend. Matteo's girlfriend who shouldn't be here right now." He said the first part to her before he turned to give me a pointed look as he said the second half of the sentence.

"No, I told you Adrian, I'm not leaving until I know what you're up to." Adrian's pointed look soon turned into a glare but before he could say whatever mean comment was in his head, the woman next to me started laughing.

"Oh I like you. I'm Antonia by the way." When she said her name my eyes widened a little and I took a step away from her as soon as I realised who she was.

I mean I guess the fact she just admitted to the fact she killed that guy Dante, should have been enough for me to figure it out but sometimes I'm slow.

Antonia was Adrian's ex fiancée, she was the reason Adrian cheated on Jordan before their wedding, she tried to hurt Leo by working with Dante, she wanted to take Adrian away from his family, she killed Dante and then Mia was killed.
