Two Broken Hearts

Chapter ten

Eighth rule of mafia:
No partners

Maria's POV:

I woke up feeling exhausted from the night before. I cried for so long i was sure my eyes were red and swollen.

I got downstairs to see a girl with a brown hair and a man's shirt on her, cooking in the kitchen. I tapped her shoulder and she jumped.

"Oh my Lord you scared me!" She turned around and chuckled looking at me. She had a strong British accent and cute freckles.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to. Who are you again?"

She smiled politely and extended her hand: "Oh, where are my manners? I'm Kelsey. You call me Kel."

I smiled at her and extended my hand as well: "Nice to meet you Kel, I'm Maria, and I'm actually a prisoner here."

She gasped and looked over at me: "No way! You're too beautiful to be a prisoner. Why would Boss do such thing?"

I chuckled: "Because he's an ass!" I said to her and she laughed.

Then someone coughed behind us and I turned around to see... Matteo glaring at me.

"What, what did I do?"
He shook his head sighed: "I'm an ass? You know me for how long and you're saying that? Flower you're breaking my heart here." He pouted and put an arm on his heart.

I got over to him and lifted my eyebrow: "You sure you have one, big boy?" He glared at me yet again at that comment and Kelsey just laughed behind us.

"Yeah honey you are not a prisoner here. I am more of a prisoner than you are."

I looked at her with a questioning look but I let it go quickly.

Matteo walked away but not before slapping me on the ass and whispering: "I'll show you who's an ass." I rolled my eyes at him and when he turned around I slapped his butt.

He turned around with a look of horor: "Uh firm!" I chuckled and he shook his head and went away.

Kelsey was watching me intensely and added: "You know, if I didn't know Boss quite well I would think he's in love with you."

I blushed not knowing what to say.

"We...well good thing you know him then."

She hummed something under her breath that I couldn't hear.

"So... Who are you in this house anyway, I mean how do you know Matteo?"

She turned around to look at me: "You mean Boss! I work for him, in his missions I go with him very often. And I'm in a relationship with Marcus. I'm sure you know him by now."

I smirked: "Yes, yes I do." She laughed and started eating: "Are you hungry?"

I thought about it, but I wasn't, I was probably going to find a gym and train a little and then eat: "No, no thank you."

She nodded and then asked again: "How do you know Matteo?"

I rolled my eyes: "Well... You could say we were best childhood friends, then he moved to become a mafia leader leaving me behind and I began my training to become an assassin. I was ordered to kill him a few weeks ago and didn't know it was him. I guess that's how out paths crossed. Now I'm something like a prisoner here." I smiled at her, popping a strawberry in my mouth.

She lifted her eyebrows: "Well damn! No wonder he looks at you like he is in love with you, he probably is!" She exclaimed.

I blushed but quickly asked: "How old are you?"
