DREIDAN'S POV
I 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
AVATIA'S POVI didn't leave my room. I cried and cried and cried. That man was really a psycho. Yesterday, I was glad that he was making progress then he just had to drop the bomb. How on earth was I supposed to seduce a 65 years old dangerous man? Italian for that matter. What if he tried to kiss me or more? I was gonna puke for sure. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep off my pain. I think I slept for about two hours or so till I felt someone shake me. I opened my eyes to see Ana giving me a sad smile."Its about time Ava." She said sadly and sat on the bed, near to me, smoothing my hair.I hesitantly sat up, looking at the other side of the room. I didn't want to look at her cause I would start crying. "I don't want to go Ana. I really don't want to.""Shhh. I know you don't and I don't want y
AVATIA'S POVI sat quietly trying to calm my nerves by enjoying the view of the limo. It was so nice. Just like the jet. Classic and rich. I took out a bottle of water from the mini fridge and drank in order to ease my nerves but nothing seemed to work. I felt like crying. I had been sitting in here for about thirty minutes. The worst part of all this was that I didn't even have my phone. I could at least play some subway surf to distract me from over thinking. A few more minutes later, I felt the car pull to a stop and then my door was opened. I gulped and prayed silently before stepping out. The area was full of expensive cars and men and women who looked rich. I felt like the youngest in the place until I spotted a group of really young girls in bras and shorts. Out of nowhere, I heard his voice and almost jumped
AVATIA'S POVI slowly peeked one eye open, then the other. I couldn't sit upright. My neck hurt so much. Memories of last night flashed in my mind. I started panicking. Where am I? I noticed that someone was sitting on the bed I was lying on. Probably Mr. De Luca. Oh my, I hurriedly sat up and relief washed over me when I realized I was in my room. Good grief. I looked to my right and saw him staring at me. He usually had an unreadable expression but what I saw in his eyes, was pure sadness and regret. How did I get out of that place alive? How did he save me with a broken arm? I looked at his arm and realized he'd taken the bandage off. Stubborn guy. But that was the least of my worries. My neck hurt so much. Three days ago, he strangled me and just last evening, that Russian monster did the same. What was up with this mafia men and my
