The Fine Art Of Annoying A Mafia King

17. Grumpy Ivy

VALENTINA

I move downstairs to the living room I believe? I find someone's back towards me. And by the looks of it, its a hot back people.

I stare at his back and maybe he felt it or something because he turned and set his eyes on me.

Oh Damn!

Holy shit!?

He is hot.

"Who the fuck are you? What are you doing here?" The man asks glaring at me.

Talk about Deja vu but sadly this is not Luciano.

"I'm Valentina." I move towards him with a smirk and stand right in front of him.

He stares at me as if I'm crazy to even talk to him.

"Looks like you already met my son Piccola." I hear Leo and turn around to find him standing at the end of the staircase.

"You know her Dad?" The man asked him with raised eyebrows.

"Yes. She is Valentina." Leo introduced me not saying anything more about me thankfully.

"I'm Ivan." He said taking my hand in a firm grasp.

"Isn't she beautiful Ivan?" Serena comes out of nowhere and asked him hooking her arm with his arm.

"What!?" Ivan looks at her confused.

"Wouldn't you like to date her?" She asked again making me choke on my spit.

Oh my god.

What is she trying to do?

You don't even know me woman.

I can be a serial killer for crying out loud.

"What the hell Mom!? I don't even know her." Ivan whispered looking mad.

I don't look that bad for him to act like this. I look at both of them and Serena laughs making Leo shake his head smiling at his wife.

"You can know her now." She said smirking.

"Why dont you just leave them darling? Ivan has some work to do anyway." He said smiling at her and pointing Ivan to get lost basically to save us.

"Why would you do that Leo?" Serena glared at him and stomped out of the hall making me chuckle.

"Let's talk Piccola." He said sitting on a couch.

"So where do I start?" I said getting nervous all of a sudden.

"The beginning. Everything honey." He smiled knowing me.

I don't really like to share my personal shit with anyone but looks like I have to. I don't really have a choice.

I tell him everything from how we met him to what happened there when he was there and what is happening now and he listened with utmost concentration.

"You dont know some things about Dante and my family yet. I'll tell you soon. Now is not the time." He said with a different look on his face.

"Okay?"

"Don't worry Valentina. We will go through this together. If what you're saying is true then I can't lose a chance to get my daughter back. I'll tell Ivan about it." He said sincerely.

"Thanks Leo." I smiled.

"You can go and have dinner Piccola. Can you let Serena know I will be in my study ?" He said and I nodded.
