My Mafia Hero |✔️

Anna's POV
-----------------
I saw my uncle approach the door, but I still couldn't see who he was talking to. He almost looked nervous, like he was afraid of whoever he was talking too.

After much contemplating, I decided to stay where I was and not disrupt my uncle. Last thing I need is 2 dangerous men mad at me.

Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder, I turned around to see my step aunt. "It's time dear, let's go meet your fiancé." she had a kind smile on her face. This was the first time she had looked at me not in disgust. And I was ok with it, it somehow made me feel better knowing they were at least troubled by this whole situation.

Then I saw him. The man who saved me from Brian, it was Cade, at least I think.

There was no way the man I supposed being forced to marry was Cade. My luck wasn't that good, hell the universe hated me so it doesn't make sense that this could be happening. I  was probably having hallucination, I had some after my parents and brother passed away.

I was so struck by grief, I would see my mom and dad standing in the corner looking at me and I would see my brother playing with his toy cars. Eventually, my uncle got me counseling. And slowly I stopped seeing them. Was that happening right now? Was my mind placing Cade in place of my real fiancé? Was this my brains way of coping?

I was trying my hardest to rationalize him being here if he actually was. I knew he had money, but was he in fact Cade Grey? No, thats not possible. This is the universe fucking with me. Thats the only explanation.

Cade's POV
----------------
As soon I entered the ball room, John Montgomery found me. "Welcome Mr Grey, would you like anything to drink before you meet my sweet Andrea?" he said. John seemed almost to excited, I pride myself on being able to read between the lines and from what I could tell he was excited to get rid of Andrea. "No thank you. I would like to meet Miss Collins now." I said. "Oh of course" He waved to whom I was assuming his wife to get Andrea.

Then I saw her, even under the makeup and stunning dress, I knew it was her. It was my Anna.

She looked terrified, maybe she didn't recognize me. But I thought the woman I was marrying was named Andrea, not Anna. I rested on the conclusion I was seeing shit. I must miss my Anna enough to imagine her here.

"Ah hello my dear" John said to his wife, not even acknowledging Andrea's presence. His wife elbows him, "Oh yes, Mr. Grey, this is Andrea" she gives me a weak smile "I go by Anna, actually" "Of course Anna, you can call me Cade" giving a kind smile. So it was in fact her, I hope she recognizes. But she is clearly uncomfortable by this whole situation, I'm mesmerized by her beauty for a second until her aunt speaks "Anna, you will call him Mr. Grey" she grabs Anna's chin extremely hard while giving her the command. "Y-yes ma'am" she's scared. I need to get her out of here now. "Come on Anna, we shall be leaving now" I reach out my hand hoping she will let me take her away from this abusive home, I saw her hesitant and right as she reached out, her aunt slapped her hand. "Oh but Mr Grey, you just got here. Stay for a bit" John says, I can hear the threat in his tone. But I don't care. If the vipers actually plan to attack and Anna's aunt is already this aggressive, she needs to be taken away from here now. "I'm truly sorry John, but I have some business I must take care of. And now that I have meet my fiancé, I have no reason to stay here any longer. So Anna let's go." I knew she would hesitate to take my hand. So this time I don't bother with that, instead I grab her wrist and lead her out of the house.

Once outside she attempts to jerk her wrist out of my grasp, she is just as weak as I remember. "Shhhhh Love, I am just trying to help you". She continues to try to escape my hold, god she is going to make this hard on me. "Ok you wanna do this the hard way?" I yank her towards my body and pick her up over my shoulder. Anna is tiny, she is a full foot shorter than me and has a small frame. Why is she fighting me so much? Was she planning on running away once we were outside? "Please put me down" she cries, "Under 1 condition, ok Love?" "O-ok" god she is so scared, "You can't try to run ok? I am trying to help you get away from this god awful house" "Ok I promise I won't try to run away"

Finally, I sit her down. "I-I'm sorry, it just scared me when you grabbed my wrist an-" "shhhh, you have no reason to apologize, I shouldn't have grabbed you like that Love". We stared at eachother for a minute not saying a word. "Why don't we get out of here, you won't ever have to see this place again" she silently nods her.

We make it to my car, both of us are completely silent. "S-Sorry if this sounds weird, but I feel like I have seen you before" she says shyly. "Ahhh I was wondering which of us would bring that up, yes if I remember correctly I saved you from that asshole" I say more sternly than I meant. "Uh yeah... thanks again" she is so timid and quite, soon enough I will see the true her. I just need to break her walls down.

Another 5 minutes later she feel asleep on my arm that was resting on my shift knob. I have never had someone sleep on me before, whenever I had my whores over they left right after we were finished. But I let this one time slide.

Even if I found Anna beautiful, I still had no intention of trying to make this relationship romantic at all. This was a business relationship.

Anna's POV
-----------------
I surprised Cade was wanting to leave so quickly, but I couldn't complain. I stopped paying attention to what they were saying after my aunt attempted to put me in my place. Then I felt a sharp pain in my wrist and I was being pulled towards the door. Once I felt the cold fall air hit my face, I tried to release my wrist from Cade's grip. I wanted to run as far away everything. But of course Cade was stronger. I saw his lips move but I didn't hear a word.

In the blink if an eye I was over his shoulder. Out of terror of what he was planning to do, I started hitting and scratching his back. He let me fight for minute, he didn't move once while I continued to try to hurt him. After I gave up and asked to be put down, he reassured me all he wanted to do was get me away from my old home.

I let him take me back to his place, we established that both of our suspicions were correct and he in fact was the one who saved me. I fell asleep in his car. The last thing I remember was him carrying me, bridal style, into what I assumed was his house.
