Violet's POV
"What was that in the kitchen?" I asked Tracy once we were alone.
"Nothing." She shrugged. "Mario was just asking some questions about our work place. That is all." She said.
"Speaking of our work place, I miss Carl." I said pouting.
"I miss that guy too." She laughed.
"Who are you missing?" Vincenzo asked entering the sitting room. He had guns in his hands.
"Our co-worker, Carl." Tracy said and I glared at her.
Vincenzo raised an eyebrow and looked at me. I felt my heart sped up, as he looked in my eyes with a burning passion.
An expression I never saw on a man's face for me before.
"He is our best friend and we worked together for quite a bit." I said trying to ease the tension.
"You don't have to explain anything flower. I would have known if there is something going on between you too." He said smirking.
"I wasn't explaining." I glared at him.
"Good. Because we are going shooting." He said flipping a gun in his hand.
"What do you mean?" I asked raising my eyebrows.
"He means that we will learn how to shoot and use a gun." Tracy squealed and I looked at her in disbelief.
"What? Oh hell no." I yelled.
"Hell yes." Tracy screamed.
"I am so going to kill you." I yelled.
"You need to learn how to use a gun then, flower." Vincenzo smirked.
"You both are unbelievable." I huffed.
"Come on let's go." Tracy said taking my elbow by her hand and dragging me.
This girl is becoming stranger by the passing days. Since when does she love violence?
"Tracy! Are you insane?" I yelled as she kept dragging me.
"Listen V, you have gone through a lot ok? You need to learn how to defend yourself. You have that dick Derek behind you, and your damn stepfather. This is your chance." She said.
"Maybe you are right. But still I feel uncomfortable." I said feeing uneasy.
"Everything will be good, I promise." She smiled at me.
"Okay." I said rolling my eyes and followed them.
5 SUVs were waiting for us in front of the entrance. Bodyguards were everywhere watching our steps.
I spotted Milanio among the bodyguards. He had his arm wrapped. That day I forgot to ask if he was okay, but it seems like he managed well.
"Tracy you will come with Gio, Violet, Paolo and I. Mario and Erico you take the back SUV with Milanio. We are going to our shooting place." Vincenzo ordered and they all nodded.
"Yes Capo!" They yelled getting in the SUVs.
I got in next to Vincenzo in the passenger seat. The others were sitting in the back. Tracy and Giovanni were clearly flirting, while Paolo looked at his gun, ready to shoot himself.
"Why are you all so excited?" I asked rolling my eyes.
"You will know once you try it." Paolo smirked playing with the gun.
"Stop playing with this killing machine." I huffed. His smirk widened but he didn't say anything.
"Paolo enough." Vincenzo growled. Paolo instantly dropped the gun and I sighed. "Flower you will be holding one in few minutes, you shouldn't be afraid of it." Vincenzo said not amused.
"Finally!" Paolo yelled as we parked in front of a huge building. At the top was a huge VM.
Vincenzo Mercanti.
"Come on." Vincenzo said getting out of the car. We all followed him.
Tracy, Gio and Paolo were excited while I was glaring at Vincenzo's back.
I hated violence. Ever since my stepfather, I have hated violence. Although he never used real weapons.
"Boss!" The security guards opened the fancy doors for us. They nodded in respect.
"Call Bindo and tell him we are going to the shooting arena. I want my new revolvers. We are shooting today in the new room." Vincenzo ordered and they both nodded taking their phones.
"They are ready." One of them said and Vincenzo nodded.
"Let's go." Vincenzo said and we followed him.
I looked around the lobby. It looked like a lobby for a wealthy company, and not a shooting place. I guess that is the purpose of it.
We got inside the elevator and he pressed a button. A pad came out of the wall and Vincenzo put his hand on it. The elevator started moving down. It kept on going down until few minutes later, it stopped.
"Welcome boss." A man said smiling at us.
"I hope everything is ready Bindo." Vincenzo said in a hard tone.
"Yes boss. The revolvers are ready to use. So are the boards." He said. His eyes flickered to me and he smirked.
"Follow me." Vincenzo ordered. When he looked at Bindo's smirk he instantly took my hand in his and we walked.
The walls were covered with all kinds of guns. We were in a big room which was split in half.
"Here are the fire lines, where we will be taking our standing place. Those there are our targets. We must hit them. These are the bullet trap, which prevents stray shots and over-penetrations. Our weapon will be the revolver. It is so easy to be used. We will start with it until we start using heavier weapons." Vincenzo said. He had a look of concentration on his face.
"Okay." Tracy said taking a revolver.
Bindo gave us something like headphones.
"These are to protect our hearings." Bindo said.
I took one rolling my eyes and put it on my ears.
"Violet please focus and relax. Don't hurt yourself." Vincenzo said handing me the revolver.
We stood on the lines. I looked at an overly excited Tracy.
Here goes nothing.
We started firing. I fired anywhere and barely hit the boards. I huffed in annoyance. This surely wasn't my thing. This shit is harder than it looks.
"Flower you have to focus on your aim." Vincenzo stood behind me putting his hands on mine that were holding the revolver. He guided them and I fired. It hit the middle of the board.
I smiled widely happy of my achievement, until I felt the heat of Vincenzo's body. Tingles shot from his hands to mine and my heart beat faster. I turned to look at him, and our eyes met. We were inches apart.
I shook my head and turned around. I can't be attracted to a criminal. I just can't.
I continued shooting, this time hitting the targets better. I tried to divert my head from thinking about Vincenzo. I felt myself free shooting at the target. I imagined my stepfather standing there and me shooting him.
"Stop." Vincenzo ordered and they all stopped but me. "Flower enough!" I kept shooting until no bullets were left.
"I will talk to her." Tracy said taking me with her aside. "What is wrong V?" She asked.
"I imagined my stepdad standing there." I said sighing.
"Are you feeling better now?" She asked.
"Yeah."
"We are leaving." Vincenzo said taking me elbow and dragging me away.
Violet's POV "Where are we going?" I yelled at Vincenzo as he kept dragging me away from the building. "There was something that wasn't right back there. It was like you were taking revenge from someone. What happened Violet?" He asked concentrating on my face, more precisely my eyes. "It was nothing. I just enjoyed using the gun." I shrugged. He looked like he didn't buy it. "Flower, please talk to me." He pleaded me but I wasn't going to tell him the real reason. Not now at least. "Really Vinci there is nothing." I said with finality in my tone. He was going to say something but he was interrupted by his ringing phone. "Che cosa?" He barked to the phone. (What?) "Di che cazzo parli? Non ho una spedizione domani!" (The fuck are you talking about? I don't have a shipment tomorrow!) He was yelling and I felt sympathy for the person on the other end of the phone. "Fuck!" Vincenzo yelled throwing
Violet's POV"Yours?" I raised an eyebrow."Yes mine." He snapped. "We are going back home." He said taking my hand."No wait! That is Carl. Carl Lemer, I already told you there is nothing between us! Come meet him." I pulled Vincenzo with me. I just didn't under why he was so annoyed with me hugging Carl.He looked reluctant but walked with me anyways. He was grumbling under his breath. I looked at our interlocked hands and blushed. I shouldn't feel like that! Get a grip V!"Vincenzo, this is Carl." I introduced them. Carl obviously knew who Vincenzo is, since his eyes widened.
Violet's POV "What do you want Vincenzo?" I asked entering his office. "We have another party today and you will be my date. Be ready by 8." He said not looking at me. He was writing something on a paper and he was so concentrated. He looked so handsome. How can a murderer and a criminal be so handsome. Why do handsome men always have to be either jerks or mafia bosses. "I don't want to. Last time we went to one, there was a shooting and I was nearly shot. Not to mention detective Johns and his stupid questions." I rolled my eyes. He stopped writing and looked at me. "We are going and that's final." He snapped. "There is no need to snap at me? Are you on your period?" I asked him rolling my eyes. Before he could say anything, a knock was heard. He told whoever on the other side to come in. "Boss we have Chance in the basements." A guy said trembling. "Okay I will be
Violet's POVAll the women were in very elegant and expensive Gowns. Thankfully I didn't feel out of place, because I was sure that the dress I was wearing is elegant and expensive, just like them, which I hated so much.Vincenzo held my hand as he walked between the people, as they all gave us stares, like we were celebrities. Well Vincenzo is indeed famous, but I hated the attention I was getting. The young ladies were giving me dirty looks, while the older women were giving envious looks, which is kind of ironic."Ciao Vincenzo." An old man, wearing a very neat suite addressed Vincenzo. "Who is this bella signora?" (beautiful lady.) He asked eying me from my head to toe. I felt uncomfortable under his gaze."My date, Violet." Vincenzo said proudly putting a hand around my waist, as if stating his property."Nice meeting you Violet." He said with a smirk."Same." I mumbled looking at my shoes."Derek Palanc
Vincenzo's POV"Who is that girl with you?" Alejandro, a spanish mafia boss asked."Violet, my girl." I smirked."Never knew you have good taste in women. You always were with plastic girls and whores." Alejandro smirked."Yeah time to settle down I guess." I shrugged and he smiled."Finally man." He laughed and I rolled my eyes. "Women are eating you with their eyes." I looked around, as women looked at me with hunger in their eyes. I gave them a disgusted look.One woman have my eyes, and she is in the restroom, taking her time. I frowned when I noticed that she has been gone for 15 minutes.Where is she?My phone rang and I looked at the caller. It was Michael, one of my mafia members."Si?" (Yes?)"Capo, la spedizione è andata a buon fine. Le armi sono al sicuro nel deposito." He said. I smirked. (Boss, the shipment was successful. The weapons are safe in the storage.)"
Violet's POVOnce we were back at the mansion, I instantly headed towards my room. I was so tired, and the heels were killing my feet."Violet!" Tracy yelled."Later Tracy!" I yelled back running towards the room.She wasn't the one that fought with a girl, while wearing a gown and heels.I smirked internally as I thought about that bimbo. She deserved it actually. I always dreamt about hitting my bullies. She doesn't have the right to call me ugly.I stripped out of the gown and threw the heels away. I entered the bathroom and turned the
Vincenzo's POV"This better be important!" Gio snapped.I looked up from my papers and saw my men walking behind the person I have not seen in a long time."Look who decided to finally visit us." I smirked."I came here with valuable information." He mumbled."Speak fast. We don't have all day." Gio snapped."Why are you in such a crappy mood?" I asked him and he rolled his eyes."Nothing." He say down on the couch and observed us with a scowl. There wad definitely some
Violet's POV"You will start to train." Vincenzo said."What? Train? I don't need training." I scowled."Violet, you promised. Now quit whining and listen to me. Please flower." He pleaded. I pouted and nodded."Fine. If training is what you want then I am fine with it." I replied rolling my eyes. I can't believe I agreed to something like that."Great. You will start tomorrow with Erico." He said as Erico entered the room. He stopped dead in his track and looked at us with wide eyes."Why?" He asked."Because you are the one that trains our new recruits. You are pa
