"V! Table number 5." My best friend Tracy said.
"Okay I'll take care of it." I smiled at her taking my pen and the menu.
"Thank you. I'm exhausted." She sighed and sat on the stool.
"Take a break Tracy and eat something you've been running around since the morning." She smiled at me gratefully and went to the kitchen.
I walked towards table number 5. A family formed of the mother, the father and two kids were chatting happily. I smiled at them.
"Hello. I'm Violet, your waitress. Are you ready to order?" I asked them. The little girl smiled at me and looked at her mother waiting for her to order.
"Hello Violet. Yes we're ready. I'd like to take two kids meals, I want the burger to be chicken. For us we'd like to order two plates of chicken escalope with fries. We want some wings too please. Thank you." The mother smiled handing me their menues. I wrote down their order immediately.
"Okay. It will be ready in 20 minutes."
I walked back to the kitchen and gave the order to chef Jimmy.
"Hello Violet." He greeted me and took the order.
"Hello Jimmy. Did Tracy eat?" I asked him.
"Yes she ate a sandwich. She's waiting at the cashier for you." I nodded and left to see Tracy.
She was sitting there lost in her mind. I can see the sadness on her face and my heart hurts for her. Tracy's mom died 2 weeks ago. But Tracy couldn't see her mother before her death because they weren't talking.
"How's work?" I asked her.
"Good. It's keeping me from thinking about mom."
"I'm here when you need to talk Tracy." I hugged her.
"I know." She smiled.
"The people at table number 5 are big fans of chicken." I laughed.
"Really? Reminds me of someone." She smirked.
"Hey I'm not like them." I rolled my eyes playfully at her. She gave me a knowing look.
"Last time you went on a date, the guy complained to me about how much you ordered chicken. He said the restaurant's chicken are all in your tummy." She laughed and I glared at her.
"He's so not a gentleman."
"Look there!" She pointed with her head to the entrance.
5 men entered the restaurant. One stood out the most. It was like he was the leader. He was the tallest one of them. He had dark hair. His jaw was pointed and clenched. He had a scowl on his face. They were following him towards a table and they all sat down. They had a dark aura around them and I shivered just from their presence. He had a rare beauty. I couldn't remove my gaze from his face. Everyone in the restaurant looked at them stopping what they were doing.
"What the hell? Who are they?" I asked Tracy.
"I don't know. They look like they belong to some gang." She laughed.
"That's not a matter to joke about." I rolled my eyes.
"Oh come on Violet." She nudged me and I turned to look at them.
They were talking about something that was bothering the leader. Or so I called him. He was clenching his fists.
"Go take their order." I told Tracy.
"What? No way I'm not dying today." She scowled.
"Me neither." We looked at each other and screamed one name.
"Carl!" His head popped from a corner and frowned while looking at us. We smiled innocently at him and he rolled his eyes and came towards us.
"Quoi les filles?" (Yes girls?) Carl was french. He came from Paris to California and ended up working here with us. We were so used to him that we started understanding a little bit of his french. He was handsome with his blonde hair and boyish looks.
"Take care of table number 13." I said.
"Can't one of you take care of that? I'm busy." He said.
"Busy doing what? Sucking some girl's face?" Tracy raised an eyebrow and I nearly laughed.
"Violet! Order number 5 is ready!" Jimmy called from the kitchen.
"Okay that's my cue." I left them glaring at my back as I went to take the order.
Vincenzo's POV
"What do you mean the shipment was delayed?" I glared at Mario.
"We couldn't do anything! That son of a bitch Oscar knew about it." Mario said.
"I want the shipment tomorrow at dawn. Do you hear me?" I looked at all my men and they nodded.
"Vin calm down I'm sure everything will be settled." Paolo said. I glared at him.
"Don't tell me to calm down when all of you were partying while you should have been tracking the shipment."
"Why hasn't anyone took our order?" Erico asked calmly.
I averted my gaze to look at the workers here. There was none walking between the tables, until my gaze fell on two girls sitting by the cashier. My eyes fell on a breathtaking little brunette. She was saying something to the girl and they both smirked.
Few secondes later a male approached them. He was wearing the same shirt as them, which means he works here. He looked at the brunette with the biggest smile and I frowned.
"Who is she?" I asked my best man, Giovanni.
"I don't know. I came here with you man." He replied rolling his eyes.
"I want her." I said.
"What?" He turned abruptly and looked at me.
"Bring her to me Gio or I'll kill you myself." I shot him a cold glare.
"Are you saying we kidnap her?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.
"No I'm saying we'll fucking go on a picnic with her. Yes kidnap her." I smacked him.
"Okay you got it." He smirked looking at Mario and Paolo.
"I want her unharmed." I smacked him again.
"Ow! Why so abusive today?" He rolled his eyes. I was going to give him a piece of my mind when the waiter approached us.
"Bonjour! What can I help you with?" The waiter said.
"We want 5 coffee." Paolo ordered.
"D'accord." (Okay). He smiled and left to give our order to the blonde.
I looked around to take a glimpse of my little brunette but didn't find her anywhere.
"Violet Katrina Anderson. 24 years old. Studied art but works here. Best friend: Tracy Derwin and Carl Lemer. He came from Paris, France. They put her address here." They all looked at Giovanni with shocked faces while I smirked. I knew to whom I gave this mission.
"How the hell did you know all of that?" Paolo asked.
"Easy. I hacked the restaurant's datas and found these informations." He shrugged like it's no big deal.
"Come on boys don't underestimate Giovanni." I said.
"Ah thank you my love." Giovanni said with a dramatic sigh.
"Here's your coffee."

Violet's POV "What the hell are you doing here Derek?" I sighed. Derek was my boyfriend. He was actually my first one and we were in love with each other. But Derek started getting involved with the wrong people so I had to cut ties with him to protect myself. I just wasn't ready to risk everything for a boy that I knew would leave me someday. "V I want to amend things. Please just listen to me." He said desperately. "I know I fucked up big time but I need you again Violet!" "Listen Derek. I really have moved on. I can't go back with you. Last time we saw each other you hit me! You became aggressive after you got involved in the gang. Please leave me alone and go live your life." I really didn't want to go
Violet's POV "I'll clean the table while you close the front door." I told Tracy. She nodded and went to lock the door. "I'm glad this day is over." She sighed. "Indeed it was a busy day." I said sighing from this day. It was eventful and I was glad it was over. "V about Derek-" "Don't. I don't want to hear it. Derek is in the past." I told her. "Are you done girls?" Mr. Hardyn said. Mr Hardyn was the owner of Hardyn's dinner, the restaurant we work in. He is a kind old man that pays us a good amount. We helped him since he started this restaurant and
Violet's POV "Rise and shine." I screamed as I jumped on Tracy's sleeping body. "Why are you always so chirpy when you wake up?" Tracy grumbled. Today was a special day for me. It was Tracy's birthday. She always loved how we both celebrated together alone but today I had a special surprise for her. Her father was coming to see her and we are throwing her a big surprise. I know she loves the surprises I make but this one is special. I have been saving money for her birthday and I finally bought her the car she always wanted. "Come on birthday girl. Wake up and get dressed. We have work." I smirked and she opened one eye to look at me. "Wait." She jumped up from the bed and looked at me with disbelief. "Today's my birthday already?" She screamed. "Yes. Finally you're 24 little girl." I laughed and ruffled her hair. "Shut up you're only 7 months older than me." She rolled her eyes and smiled at her.
Violet's POV I woke up with a killing headache. I'm trying to open my eyes, but my head would hurts more every time I do it. When I managed to open my eyes light greeted me. I looked around me and saw that I was laying on a bed. It was a strange bedroom. I've never been here before. The room was huge, the bed was king sized, everything was in white. Whoever kidnapped me must be billionaire. WAIT! Kidnap! "HELP!" I screamed and ran to the door and started hitting on it and screaming. "Calm down." Someone said calmly behind me and I shivered and halted. "Who are you?" I asked the silhouette standing in the dark corner. I know that it's a man but I can't see his face. His voice is rough and I was being held captive.
Violet's POV "My name is Gretta. I can help you with whatever you need." The kind maid said. "Thank you Gretta. I only need a bath. You can leave." "But Vincenzo sir sai-" I cut her off. "Vincenzo can go die for all I care." I said and entered the massive bathroom closing the door forcefully behind me. "Miss Violet-" "Go away Greta!" I yelled and seconds later I was finally left alone. I got out and saw a pair of jeans with an off shoulder white shirt. I put them on and combed my hair, until someone knocked on my door.
Vincenzo's POV "Wakey wakey." Giovanni sang as he threw a bucket of water at Elijah. He bolted up with a gasp and looked at us with wide eyes. "Hello there." Paolo smirked. "H-how did you find me?" He snarled. "Easy actually. You should thank us for saving your ass." Mario laughed. "Back to business." My face was cold and everyone sobered up. "Why did you want to kill me?" I sent him a hard glare. "I didn't want to kill you." I raised an eyebrow. "The master did. He wanted you dead. Wanted to take your place and be on top." He smirked and Erico punched him. "Felt the need to do that." Erico said and I nodded. "Who is this master?" I asked slamming my fist on his face too."Do you think that if I spoke for him he would show me his face? He's a fucking coward. Not even I know his face. He always have a mask on. That bastard! He got me in this situation." He muttered to himself. "So what? Are we supposed to believe you?" Giovanni snarled takin
Violet's POV "Let's go have dinner now. Everyone is waiting for us." Vincenzo smirked and opened the door for me to exit. "I don't want to see anyone." I replied with a glare. "No can do princess." His stare was cold. Just like his heart. "Leave me alone! You threaten me and my friends and you will force me to do whatever the hell that you want." I took a step away from him. Vincenzo laughed. "You know princess. I will have fun breaking you." He winked at me, but I didn't understand what he means. "What do you mean?" I asked but he ign
Vincenzo's POV "Shit! Who the fuck is firing these bullets?" I yelled shooting someone aiming his gun at us. "I still don't know." Giovanni said taking his phone from his back pocket. "Erico protect Violet at all costs." Erico nodded and headed towards her. "Paolo said they are the police!" Giovanni had a hard look on his face. Usually we tried to avoid coming in contact with the police. Especially detective Johns. He was on our tail, waiting for us to make a small mistake so he could see me behind the bars. "Come on we must leave the scene." I ordered and he nodded. I took my phone
