Two Broken Hearts

Chapter twenty

Enjoy: ;)

Maria's POV:

Kelsey got out of the car and started going towards our private jet with Sam.

Matteo was approaching the car. Blood on his suit and hands.

He opened the driver's door and got in while removing the blood with a tissue.

He removed his suit coat and threw it in the backseat and started driving.

We were quiet for a while and then I first spoke.

"So... Did you find out anything?" I asked.

He glanced at me and sighed: "Not your business. Don't interfere, malena (little one)."

I could see he was frustrated but I didn't know why shouldn't I know what that guy Dino told.

I slouched like a bratty child in my seat and narrowed my eyes: "Why won't you tell me? C'mon we're in this together now."

He chuckled darkly: "No, no we're not. Just because we're going back to America doesn't mean you're going to be in this business. Maria you're too young. You have to grow up and I don't mean that in a way that I see you as a kid. No, you are very professional and I saw how good you are. But... You're sixteen. Live normal for a few years, try to find something that you like. Go to school or don't, be what you want. And then if you still want to be what you are now... Well maybe I can help you, but I want you first to live a little. Experience normality."

I rolled my eyes: "What are you? My dad. Jesus christ. You started this whole shit when you were younger than me. Back in Croatia still! Like what's the deal? I know what's normal life, I've had it up to 12 years old and I don't want it. I just want to be free, away from my father, work what I want, kill who I want, be on my own missions and not mafia's."

We halted to a stop and he got out of the car and I followed.

We got in the jet after the cops searched us and the jet started going.

Then he started talking: "I don't understand you Maria... I want you to be free from this. It hurts me to see you doing this to yourself." He stated.

"Matteo... I told you a million times. I. Fucking. Want. This. Life. Because I was taught this. They broke little, naive Karla. She can't fucking be back! She doesn't exist. And me... Maria, I am a fucking assassin. I want to work for myself, but I can make a deal and work for you on the side. I don't have to kill people for you. You can put me on any other duty. I can say yes to that because I don't really have anywhere to go and I'm not going back to Ivan."

Kelsey stormed to sit beside me and excitedly screamed: "Oh my God!!!! We can be sisters than, you in the mafia with me!!! Matteo I think it's a good idea. You can control that she doesn't get herself killed or does some stupid shit!"

"Woah! No, nobody controls me, but I think that you could compromise for once and say yes to that." I responded, smiling.

Then Kelsey whispered to me: "Just do that thing you do with your eyes and he's on our side." She winked at me.

I batted my eyelashes and pouted my lips, looking straight at his eyes.

"Fuck me" he curses under his breath.

"OK, but if I see that it won't work out, I'm sending you to North Pole if I want to, clear?" He asked seriously.

"We're gonna have to work on the authority, I know you're the leader of a mafia but I like to be in charge too." I said.

He grinned: "Yeah, well compromise darling."

I rolled my eyes playfully and Kelsey hugged me.

"Welcome bitchhhhhh!!! We're gonna have so much fun!"
