The Victim

~7~

"Um..,"I stuttered, trying to get myself together but I just could not. This guy was a twenty out of ten. His eyes bore into my soul as he smirked and my whole body turned into water. All the confidence I had flew away and I just stared back at him, dumbstruck.

Good one Scarlett! You're really showing him what a badass you are. Ugh!

I cleared my throat and removed his hand from my chin.

"Sorry,may I help you?" I asked him, "We're already closed".

"No, no. Senorita," he chuckled,"I came for you".

Just like that my whole body turned into water for second time. What did he mean he came for me? And that voice of his, it could give any woman an orgasm at the spot. It was so sultry and husky at the same time.

No, I could not let him get to me so easily. I was tough. I cleared my throat again and stepped a little bit away from him.

"What do you mean you came for me?" I replied and then suddenly it clicked.

He was the one who sent the email to me. The one that said 'I'm coming for you'. How couldn't I have thought of that earlier?

Well he's a hot god with a face chiseled to perfection Scarlett.

"Are you the one that sent me the email?"

"Guilty as charged, Senorita",he smiled, "Leonardo is the name"

Leonardo.

Hot as fuck.

But part of the reason I got captured.

And then the rage set in and I pushed him away.

"It was you! "I screamed, "It's all your fault that I'm here."

I began to punch him but he blocked all my punches and grabbed me close to him and I couldn't get out of this one.

"Let me go, you sick fuck,"I screamed, "Let me go".

"Calm down, princessa,"he said to me in the calmest voice possible and I actually did calm down.

"I came to explain everything to you," he explained, "but you're going to have calm down and follow me. Please."

The 'please' got to me and I sighed and nodded my head. I finished cleaning up and I followed him out of the club.

********
Leonardo opened the fridge and brought a soda and began to drink. I watched as his throat moved as he continued to drink.

The room we were in was one that you only see in movies. It had computers everywhere. Each computer was working on a different thing at the same time and apparently they were all controlled by Leon.

Yes. I called him Leon. Leonardo is sexy but too long. Leon is cute.

He smiled as he noticed what I was doing and I blushed in embarrassment.

Seriously though, that smile could make America great again.

"So what was it you wanted to explain?"

I was starting to get impatient. I was really tired and I needed to have a warm soak in the Jacuzzi tub and sleep till my next shift.

"Someone's in a hurry",he laughed.

"Yes I am. I need to go back and rest."

"Do you even know how you are going to back?"

Fuck. I actually did not know how I was going to get back to the room where I slept. I had been only here for roughly two days.

"Don't worry. I'll take you back," he offered.

"Alright. So here's what happened," he began to explain.

"We've been monitoring you for a while now...," he began.

"Yeah. Well no shit," I cut in, the sarcasm dripping from my tone.

"If you would let me talk",he retorted. I felt I was starting to annoy him so I kept quiet and nodded my head to let him continue.

"Thank you," he sighed," as I was saying, we've been watching you for a while. A long while even. Since you were born, since before the death of your parents and even after that".

What? My parents?

"I know you are confused but you're going to have to listen attentively to what I'm going to be saying and please no interruptions okay?",he pleaded.

I nodded again.

"Your parents were not who they claimed to be. They were part of this world. This mafia world. And your surname isn't Grey. It's Manfredini. Your name is Luciana Manfredini. You are the daughter of one the deadliest mafia bosses,"

He paused to give me some time to process this.

I was not a Grey, I am a Manfredini. My whole life had been a lie.

"I know this a lot for you to take in, " he continued, "If you don't want to hear anymore, at least for now,we can continue tomorrow".

"No, no. I want to hear everything "

"Alright," he replied,"Your father had been a part of us since he was young. He was Big Daddy's closest friend. He met your mom here where she visited with one of her friends. Your mother was also of mafia descent. Her father that time, Andreas Russo,was also a deadly one. Your parents were in love but your maternal grandfather would not allow it because of the damage your father and his own mafia family had done to the Russo's. Their marriage was forbidden so they ran and hid you for as long as they could until their unfortunate demise. You are here because your father made Big Daddy swear to never let anything happen to you once you get of age which is anytime soon. You're almost eighteen. They'll soon start looking for you."

Wow. Mafia. Wow.

"Why are they looking for me, " I asked, still shocked by what I had just heard.

"You're the only heir to the Manfredini line. This is the strongest mafia family of all and you have enemies," he replied, slowly clenching his fist,
"These enemies want you dead. "
