The Stolen Mafia Princess

Grapes

{Margo’s POV}

Once I made it into the kitchen I opened the fridge and pulled out some grapes, and a bottle of water. I looked on the fridge as I closed it and saw the sticky note that dad left. “I bought that stuff you wanted for the flower garden, they’re out back waiting for you, have fun!” He even drew a little smiley face.

I laughed as I turned and rinsed the grapes in the sink before munching on them. I climbed into the kitchen counter and opened the window, letting in a breeze. I could heart talking outside, and of course I found myself once again eavesdropping.

“So they’re coming in tomorrow right?” Damon said, his voice sounding irritated.

Angelo sighed, his voice echoing. “Yes! They’re coming tomorrow, and none of us are happy about it, but it’s just where we are. Their family is close to all of our families, even the Petrov’s.. well, especially the Petrov’s..”

I gasped, they were the ones who hurt me.. what did he mean that someone was coming, someone close to the Petrov’s. “Did that bush just gasp?” Carter laughed.

I was found out, go figure. I leaned out the window, looking at all of them. “To be fair, I wasn’t trying to eavesdrop, I just wanted some fresh air while eating my grapes!” I said popping one into my mouth.

“I want one!” Carter said, giving me puppy dog eyes. He walked to the window and I popped on into his mouth.

I turned to everyone else. “Anyone else want any?” I laughed.

They shook their heads, while Angelo gave Carter a death glare. “Bambina.. don’t you think..” Angelo started.

“Don’t I think that anything to do with the Petrov family, and those who are connected to them should be discussed with me, the person who suffered at their mercy..” I paused, and tapped my chin. “Yes, yes I do!”

He sighed and rubbed his neck. “Bambina, it’s not always that simple!” He started.

I interrupted him, “Actually yes it is!” I sneered. “It’s really, actually, completely, that simple!” I rolled my eyes.

“Look, it’s another family, some of them have invited themselves here tomorrow. They want to talk to dad and us.. well.. us boys. They want to help in taking down the Petrov’s and apparently they have some key information. This is not a meeting that you will be a part of!” He snapped, his eyes staring at me, making sure that I knew that it was an order.

I laughed and glared back. “I had to deal with those monsters for years! I will be there, you can’t stop me Angel!” I shot back.

He looked angry, really angry. “Yes, I can stop you!” He yelled. “I will do everything in my power to keep you away from them! They’re related to the Petrov’s, and I don’t trust them one bit!”

“Then where is the safest place if there are people that you don’t trust coming?” I asked, glaring at him. “I’ll answer! It’s by your side, somewhere that you can keep an eye on me, and they can’t get me!”

He groaned. “I hate that you’re right!” He groaned. “Fine, but you will stay by my side the entire time!” He said, never taking his eyes off mine.

I nodded, “I wouldn’t have it any other way!” I laughed, before leaning too far and falling out the window. Luckily Carter was still standing there, and he caught me carefully in his arms.

“Now listen, I know that women fall for me, but you don’t literally have to fall for me!” He laughed, carefully setting me on my feet.

I swatted his arm. “Oh, real charming!” I snickered. “Comparing me to other women really isn’t your best play. I hate being compared to other women.” I looked at him, crossing my arms over my chest.

“Me? Compare? Never!” He laughed before turning and walking towards the pool house. “I’m gonna go check on my sisters!” He said, taking off.

I sighed and looked at Angelo and Damon. “What?” I asked, their eyes on me completely.

Damon shook his head laughing, while Angelo ran his fingers through his hair. “You just left Carter so defenseless that he ran! I told these idiots to stay away from you, now I think you’ll break them!” He laughed.

I smiled softly. “Yeah.. maybe..” I turned and walked back into the house. “Can I dress casually, or is this another black tie affair like always?”” I asked.

He shrugged. “Nah, we’re not dressing up, wear whatever you want!” He smiled, putting his hands in his pockets.

“Alright then, is everyone staying over tonight?” I asked, looking at Damon, and back towards where all of our cousins were now sitting.

“I think everyone’s staying, but our meeting will be off limits to everyone else, just dad, me, and our brothers. Possible Nonna, and Nonno..” he said, turning back around to face me. “Go get some rest beforehand, I know you’re tired!” He smiled.

“You know me well!” I laughed, turning and making my way back inside, I walked up to my room and closed the door locking it behind me. I climbed into bed and set an alarm on my phone until about 5:00am, then I drifted off to sleep.

My alarm blared in my ear, I reached over turning it off. I quickly made my way out of bed and into the bathroom taking care of my business, then washed up slightly. I grabbed a pair of yoga pants, and a workout bra, along with a loose tank top. I quickly threw on my clothes, and put on my tennis shoes and made my way to the at home gym. It had all of the best equipment in it. I decided to stretch first and did my normal morning stretches. I went down into a full split then leaned around to all sides, before going into a Russian split and doing the same thing, reaching and grabbing my toes.
