AVATIA's POV.
It's been four days since we arrived Italy and today was already Monday. My supposed first day in my new college. Woah! And here I am, half way across the world in a place I don't even know. Well at least I had Ana. We'd bonded well, she always had some funny story to tell me whenever she was around. Then there was my boss. Surprisingly he'd seemed friendlier towards me. He even smiled at me yesterday. But I just couldn't forget about mom. I'll spend hours everyday praying that she's safe and that she should come back home. Mr. Black told me he was working on it and would soon have positive news for me. Okay, I know it sounds strange considering I have a phone, and I should have tracked her location. Well I don't have one anymore. Before we got down from the jet, I realized it wasn't with me. I lost it.
I tried not to think of my frustrating situation by chatting with Ana.
AVATIA'S POV"Ana." I said quietly. "Ana told me. She only just gave a name, nothing more. She just mentioned the name. I'm sorry if I said it. Please don't be mad." I was scared. What if out of anger he pulled out a penknife and stabbed me for calling just a name. Oh God.I looked into his eyes pleading and the dark look slowly disappeared. "Its okay. Let's just enjoy our meal."I smiled nervously. "Thanks boss. I said as relief washed over me. At least he wouldn't kill me.We started eating and I couldn't hold back my moans. The food was so delicious. Then I suddenly remembered something important. "Boss?"He looked up from his meal nodding. He looked so handsome."I noticed Ana cooks your meals only with mineral water." I started quietly. He nodded again. "That's how I like my food.""But the day you got back from Italy with your girlfriend, I was the on
DREIDAN'S POVAfter leaving my house, I just couldn't stop thinking about my beautiful blonde with blue eyes.My? What happened to NEVAEH? She was the only person I called mine.Yeah right. I had to forget about Avatia because thinking about her was like forgetting Nevaeh.Throughout my flight back to Manhattan, I focused on all the information Roberto had sent to me. Apparently, he'd used the fingerprints on the knife and discovered that it was a group of guys. He'd tracked down their location and was waiting for me to return before we raided the place. I swear to God that whoever was behind this was going to pay and pay dearly. I took out my bag of coke. I'd just imported this one and I knew it was gonna give me some good ass money since it was stronger than the rest. I poured some on the stool in front of me and l
DREIDAN'S POVI could hear the dogs barking and I smiled to myself. I knew what was happening. Grace looked at me nervously. "Stay right here ma'am, I'll be back soon."She nodded nervously and I walked out to see three dead bodies. Roberto was laughing hysterically. "You're sick, you know?"He laughed again. "Says the guy who killed a whole family with a snakes venom because they spoke about his club."I smirked. "They deserved it. Anyways, clear this area and get the car ready. I don't want Grace to freak out once she sees this. Do it right now."Roberto nodded. "Sure thing boss man."I went in to see Grace. She'd been crying. "It's still surprising how you knew just where to find me but I'm so gratef
Dreidan's POV.After making sure Grace was comfortable with her room, I went to mine, knowing fully well that Jade was waiting for me there. But before I reached my room, I stopped at 'her' door. Even though we shared the same room, after she past away, I decided to move her things to the room she loved the most in the mansion. Jade also told me it was going to help me psychologically if I didn't have too see her things all the time. I always cleaned this particular room myself. It made me feel closer to her. "I wish you were still here, Nei. I miss you so much." I muttered to myself, touching the door and walking away sadly.I rubbed my temple. My head was pounding. I needed a lot of sleep if I had to travel back to Italy tomorrow morning. Yes. I didn't want Grace to worry so much. And it was better if I brought her daughter earlier and send them away from me where they'll be safe.
AVATIA'S POVMy eyes slowly opened and I started panicking as memories of yesterday flooded my mind. What if I was already dead. I pinched myself and when I confirmed the pain, I let out a deep breath. Good thing I was still alive. I tried getting up but my neck hurt a lot. I gently sat up and realized I was in my room. I remembered how I managed to get here.When Mr. Black let go of my neck yesterday, I kept coughing, trying to breathe normally. "How the hell did you get in here?" He had asked in a dangerously low tone. "You little bitch, sneaking around my house when I'm gone? Why did you come in here?"I was glad I didn't have a boss who yelled. He was so furious I thought he was gonna pull out that pocket knife I saw with him in the plane. "I'm sorry Mr. Bla...""Don't you even dare to call me that, snitch." He barked angrily. "I'm only gone for a day and you go about sea
DREIDAN'S POVI started walking away from her. I needed to be far away from her. I needed to think and think really hard. I didn't understand why I felt this huge knot in my chest. It felt like I was letting my guards down. Why did it seem like she was replacing my princess? She fucking reminded me a lot about Nevaeh. So beautiful, so naive, so stubborn, always had the courage to talk back at me, rolled her eyes when I said something she wasn't okay with and she even stuck her tongue out at me. But most especially, she had a heart of gold, just like Nevaeh. It was scary how both had a lot of similar traits. Blondes, blue eyes, plump lips, big boobs, wide hips,a big butt, so short and every other thing. Why did it feel like she was reliving my Nevaeh.You can't let that happen Dre, your heart belongs to Nevaeh and her only. Dead or alive. Don't let this girl come in. She's not good for you.
AVATIA'S POVI tiptoed to the door and tried to listen to what he was saying. Luck was not on my side since he spoke in another language, I think Russian or something, cause it didn't sound like Italian. He nodded at what the person on the phone was saying, his hold on that penknife increasing. He finally said something in English. "Don't kill him, I'll love to do the honours myself. I'll be there in forty-five minutes."I closed my mouth with my hands trying not to gasp. What in the world was wrong with this guy? He killed people as if it meant nothing.My breath hitched when he turned to me. "I'm not done with you yet. Don't even thinking of running away, else you forget about your mom." He said in an angry voice and walked towards his room, to prepare for his mission, I presume.After sometime, he walked back do
AVATIA'S POV"You're kidding me. Tell me you're joking." Ana squealed in excitement as I told her about last night.I shook my head, a proud smirk forming. "He said THANK YOU. For real. I thought I wasn't hearing well but he repeated it again Ana. I'm serious."Her eyes grew wide. "You're telling me that the same Dreidan that I know, leader of the mafia here in Italy and the United States of America, told you thank you? Hell no! I can't believe that. The last time I heard such words was about five years ago."I laughed. Her expression was priceless. "Believe it or not. He said it."All of a sudden she frowned a little."What's wrong?"She turned back to the casserole she was making. "I just feel bad that you'll soon be leaving. This house would be lonely once more."I frowned too. She was
