Mateo reached into his suit and pulled out a handgun, holding it at his side."Do not leave the car," he says sternly to Zoey and me. "Stay right here and put your head down." He opened the car door, I took heed of his words, and Zoey and I kept our heads down.I kept hearing the sound of gunshots being fired repeatedly. I slowly turned to the window side to peep at what was going on. There seems to be a set of men shooting at Sins men; there were more than twenty of them.I find my eyes wandering to where the bullet holes were at the front of the car seat. There were three holes: two at the front and one at the back. My whole body was stiff when I realized the direction of the bullet hole.This time, I was the target.I know being shot before should make me less terrified, but it didn’t. I was shaking in fear; they were so close. I could have died if not for the bullet that missed me by an inch. Who were these people?Could they be Sin's enemies, and they are trying to get to him by
I was awakened again when I felt the cool breeze on my skin. I opened my eyes slowly, and the first thing that caught my eye was Sin. He looked forward, walking. His hands wrapped around me, and my head was on his chest. I shiver a little when the cool breeze brushes me, and my hand, in its own accord, immediately clutches his shirt, squeezing closer to his warmth.Sin looked down, a strain of hair falling down his face, his eyes staring at me, his pace slow, before looking back up and speeding forward.I craned my neck to the other side to see Luca walking in front with no sign of Mateo."Where are Mateo and Zoey?" I asked. Sin didn't bother replying, as he kept on walking. "Where are Mateo and Zoey, Nikolai?" I asked again; my voice was irritated."Luca is with Zoey, so go back to sleep, Amore," he said softly."And Mateo, what about him?" Is he okay? Did something bad happen to him when I slept off?" I asked, this time worried that something bad must have happened to him.Sin let o
Sin's pov.The party had gone great despite the little hiccup we encountered, and I was able to show them who the new Donna of the Violenta mafia family was.Waking up with Mani in my arms was amazing, but then I had to leave even when I didn't want to because I had a situation to handle. I could only wait until after breakfast before stepping out.Getting into my car, I slammed my door shut, infuriated at leaving Mani alone, but I had to deal with a bunch of idiots who couldn't deal with a shipment alone. What the hell was I paying them for?"Give me details, Carlos, and it better be worth my time if you have to pull me out of my home." I growled at Carlos through my phone, which was connected to the car.When he called, he was interrupting my time with Mani. I knew she was about to say something serious. I know my men, and they know I hate being disturbed by irrelevant things. Despite their sometimes lacking competence, they have never dragged me into something useless. It was very
Normani POV.I hope something like what happened last night never happens again. I know I had to get used to Sin's life, but the thought of getting killed was terrifying, especially since it was the second time I was being shot at.I didn't realize when I fell asleep while waiting for Sin to get back to the warehouse. I was woken by the sound of someone knocking at the door, but I still lay on the bed, staring directly at the door, not saying a word—not after what happened at the mansion.Sin specifically told me not to open the door if it was him or Lucia, which I plan on doing. I waited for a minute, and the knocking stopped. I let out a sigh. I took my phone out to check the time and saw it was six in the morning.I hope everything is alright and Sin isn't hurt. I thought of texting him but decided against it. My eyes shot shut, wanting to get some sleep, when I heard the sound of a knock at the door. I hurriedly stood and looked for something to defend myself in case it was someon
The atmosphere of my room when I woke up was gloomy, and as soon as I opened my eyes, I was hunted by the memories of what happened a few days ago.I wore one of my black gowns with my black heel and packed my hair in a high bun to get the hair out of my face. I didn't use the mascara and eyeliner because I knew I was going to be doing a lot of crying today, so I just applied a little lip gloss, grabbed my purse that contained my phone, and walked out of my room.Sin was talking on his phone when I got to him, oblivious to my presence. His outfit matched mine, as he was dressed in a black suit and trousers, a black shirt, and a black tie, paired with a pair of black shoes that looked like they were just seeing the light of day for the first time ever.He was talking furiously, and from what I heard, it had to do with what happened at the mansion, but as soon as he turned and saw me, he smiled, and my heart melted at the sight of it."Make sure the securities are heightened. Do the nec
Here I was on the Violenta private jet, sitting next to Sin's empty seat. I took a deep breath. The air hostess had come to ask if I needed anything. I smiled thankfully at her before responding."I would like a glass of orange juice and some diced fruit."After the meal, I fell asleep and was woken up by Sin's lips on my neck. I tried pushing him away to get more sleep.Why exactly was he trying to bring me out of my beauty rest!.He should let me sleep some more."Nikolai, no". I said this as I continued to sleep."Come on, amore," he says, nuzzling my neck. "You need to wake up; we are here already."I slowly opened my eyes, yawning and stretching my body a little bit. "Are we in Italy?"He chuckled, handing me a scarf and a shade. "Sei cosi adorabile, amore mio."I looked at the scarf and shade puzzle, then looked back at him. He took it from me, wrapping the scarf around my neck to cover my face and putting the sunglasses on me.He took my hands in his, and we raised ourselves fr
When I woke up again, I found Sin staring at me. I wasn't even startled because this wasn't the first time I'd woken up to him staring at me. I looked out the car window and was awed.This house, or mansion, was way bigger than his house in New York. It had French windows and doors, along with a huge parking space. Although it was already 6:30 p.m., I was still able to see the beauty of the place. I got out of the car along with Sin and his men.There was light surrounding the premises of the building, and the weather felt a little bit warm here in Venice. The house was extremely beautiful. I thought the one in New York was better, but this one literally tops it.I smiled and turned to him. "I must say, your place is magnificent."He smiled at my words. "Wait till you see the inside; it will leave you breathless."The door suddenly opened, and Zoey, along with a young girl, came into view."Welcome, sir and ma'am." The girl greeted Sin, and I stepped inside.I walked with Sin through
I woke up with the sunlight almost blinding me. I wasn't feeling good. I don't recall eating anything bad yesterday; maybe last night's dinner didn't digest well because I definitely wasn't feeling good this morning. I turned around to look for Sin but found his side of the bed empty. I placed my hand on the side on which he was lying, and it felt cold.Checking my phone clock, I realized it's almost 9:30 a.m. I can't believe I overslept. I must be really tired. I tried sitting up from the bed, only to feel nauseated. I quickly got up and ran to the bathroom. After five minutes of dry heaving, I got up to brush my teeth, slouching and putting my entire weight on the sink. I felt weak and didn't have the energy to stand, so I opted for a bath instead of a shower.I stepped into the gigantic Jacuzzi and laid down, resting my back with my eyes closed. I didn't know how long I stayed there, but after I felt the water turning cold, I stepped out and quickly toweled. I got dressed and fixed
