The Fine Art Of Annoying A Mafia King

51. Grumpy in love

Which character's story would you like to read after Valencia?

"The problem is that...She is Amanda. Amanda Davis." He muttered staring at me as my mouth opened in surprise.

"You don't mean The Amanda Davis... Right?" I asked with wide eyes.

"Yes her and I may have dumped her on our highschool graduation day...without giving her a reason." He mumbled looking down in guilty.

Oh, my god.

"But she is...dude you're so fucked." I said as a grin broke out on my face.

He groaned and then sighed looking dejected. This is so not how I know Ivan to be.

"So let me get this straight...You like the girl you dumped badly in highschool which means she must not like you at all and secondly she just went through a divorce because her husband cheated on her. "I stared at him.

"Yeah..." He muttered taking a sip of his drink.

"Look Ivan...She just went through a divorce and let's not forget that she was cheated on. She is already a famous businesswoman so She must be having media all around her and I don't think she would want anything more on her plate right now."  I explained with a soft look.

"I know...Its just that I have never stopped loving her. I didnt want to break up with her. I only did it because I thought she wouldn't be safe involved with a mafia considering her career choice as her Dad was already famous. I didn't want anything to happen to her." He said in a low tone.

"So what changed now?" I asked staring at him.

Amanda Davis is a billionaire who has her empire all over New York and some other place too. Her divorce with movie star Mark Stone is all over the media since last one month.

"Well...firstly because she divorced now and when I saw her the first time here in New York after our breakup, I wanted to go back to her and Secondly because when I saw you and Luciano I realised that...I can be with her and protect her." He whispered, closing his eyes.

"Amanda is a strong ass woman Ivan. She has handled her business without anyone's help when her father died and she was just twenty two at that time and she is already a billionaire at twenty five now. She does not need your protection or anything,  she needs your support and love. You broke her heart once and now you have a chance to mend it. "I said reaching out and taking his hand in mine.

"I know that but you just said she doesn't need more on her plate..."

"I know and I'm right but you can reach out to her as a friend. Not someone who wants to date her but support as a friend. I think she might appreciate that more." I smiled and he stared down on the table.

"I think you're right...I don't know how to reach her...I don't have any number..." I cut him off with a genuine laugh.

"You know...You and Luciano are pathetic in this mafia business! Your men can get you her number but Nia's father is a business partner of Amanda and Nia has met her so I think she might have her number. I'll ask her." I looked at him amused as his ears turned more pink.

"Well I'm not into the mafia business. You know that. Thanks Valentina." He smiled squeezing my hand.

"Just please don't be your grumpy self when you do talk to her!" I chuckled making him laugh with me.

"I'm not grumpy! You're just hyperactive." He snapped smirking.

"Who knew the almighty God of grumpiness is in love with someone." I looked at him teasingly making him glare playfully.
