The Mafia's Daughter

Chapter 15

Before anything else could happen Victoria had ushered me out the room, claiming that it was way past my bedtime.

I've never had a bedtime before.

I had just laid there staring at the ceiling thinking about the day's events, the many thoughts running through my head kept me from falling asleep. Who would have known they were going to this great of lengths to kill someone like me.

You knew

My eyes snapped open as the alarm blared throughout my room. My black eyes searched the room for any threats before I threw my legs over the side of my bed. 

I sighed defeatedly as I lay on the floor.

I'm not going to live past my 17th birthday.

I'm probably going to die, they aren't going to stop coming for me.

Closing my eyes I thought of a time where I was carefree and actually acted my age. It was a time when my family was alive, a time where I was genuinely happy.

BANG

"COME ON COME ON WAKE UP", A deep voice yelled in annoyance. I slightly opened my eyes to see who it was only to close them back as I saw the tattooed giant.

Then I couldn't feel the hard floor that was hurting my back, I opened my eyes fully but everything was upside down. I shut my eyes as I started to get nauseous from the swaying motion that was going on.

"Hey, put me down", I screamed. I only got a grunt in response, I huffed and stopped fidgeting as it was getting me nowhere.

"Alex put the poor girl down", I heard Victoria say. I smirked, "Yeah, listen to your wife dumbass".

"hmm... I don't think I will", He answered. I gaped, the disrespect! I'm starting to get really dizzy, I wonder if I'll be here long enough to throw up on his back. Maybe then he'll put me down.

"Alright, we're here" He announced finally putting me down on my feet. I wobbled slightly as the blood rushed down to my legs, I feel terrible.

I looked around, we were in the backyard, but like the back-backyard. He had carried me outside of the backyard's gate, so now we were surrounded by high grass and trees.  If I squinted hard enough I could make out the frame of the house.

There was a ring of cut grass where we were standing so it was easy to move around, but my main concern was the bugs that had to be somewhere out there. I mean they weren't exactly being quiet.

"Why are we here", I questioned focusing my attention back on him. 

He scoffed, "You're going to die".

My eyes widened, what did this bitch just say? 

"Unless you learn how to defend yourself. You're smart but you have no muscles whatsoever", He continued. I narrowed my eyes, he just complimented me and insulted me in the same sentence.

"I'm not sure whether to be flattered or offended".

"Be both, no Victoria wants you to be able to defend yourself so I'm going to teach you how", He informed me. I'm confused if Victoria wanted me to know how to fight wouldn't she teach me herself, unless she can't fight or Alessandro is lying about her wanting me to fight.

"But, I can already fight so there's no need for you to-"

"I don't care".

"Why can't Dante teach me".

"Because I taught him, now stop complaining".

I huffed this is not going to be fun. I looked up at him, "So like are we gonna start or what".

"Do you know how to punch".

- 3 hours later-

I groaned as I pushed myself off the hard ground. Who knew dirt could be so painful to fall on. I took Alex's hand as he pulled me up, I staggered a bit as my legs felt like jelly. I could hardly breathe, my lungs couldn't take any more of this intense workout shit. 

"Alright are you ready to go", Alex asked. I looked at him in bewilderment, is this man crazy? He barely broke a sweat, while I'm here sweating from just STANDING.

"I-I don't think...I can walk", I wheezed out. I swiped my hand over my forehead wiping off the sweat so it didn't go in my eyes.

"Well, I'm not carrying you", He said before walking off.

I groaned loudly aren't rich people supposed to have golf carts everywhere. Is he really going to make me walk back, I looked up at him he was a couple feet ahead of me but he didn't look like he was stopping anytime soon.

I huffed and started dragging my feet, I can make it.

I CAN MAKE IT

I can make it

I CAN mAkE iT

i CaN mAke IT

I can't make it

I dropped on my knees and struggling to get air in my lungs. I'm going to die, and it's not even going to be from the people trying to kill me. It's going to be because of this guy.

I panted and dropped to my back, I can't go any further. 

Alessandro's P.O.V

The workout wasn't even hard what's she complaining for. I continued to walk, I was close to the house the sun was beating down on me. 

I furrowed my eyebrows, it was so quiet. Too quiet.

What happened to that whale, that was breathing so hard. I could hear her from a mile away, I turned around and searched for her. I didn't see her.

Oh for crying out loud what happened now. 

I walked backward tracing my steps, where was she?

I blinked as I saw her arm raised as she laid on the ground, what the hell is she doing.

"Let's go", 

"Mfff life", She muttered. I groaned childishly as bent down and threw her over my shoulder. And started walking back to the house, she's wasting time.

  "You have a very good butt, it's firm", She mumbled. I was so close to dropping her when she slapped my ass.
