"Princess..your castle awaits." I hear a male’s voice say so I open my eyes to see Marco.
"You are a very light sleeper." Marco states
"Yeah I am, and I thought we agreed I wasn't a princess; and I definitely don't have a castle." I reply
"No, I never agreed. Because in this world you are to be considered royalty, and the main house here in Italy is as near to a castle as you'll get." Marco says
"Do I have time to freshen up and change?" I ask him
"Yes there's a bathroom right over there. Elena is in the bedroom getting ready herself.. and I've already done what I had to do." Marco tells me
I grab my carry-on bag and get in the bathroom and wash my face. Use some girl products and add a little makeup, deodorant, and perfume.
Then I slip on my clothes for today and put everything else back in my bag. I walk out and see Elena and Marco waiting for me.
"Not that you weren't pretty last night, but you are a gorgeous thing." Elena tells me.
"Thank you." I say politely.
"V isn't even gonna know how to handle the information much less you." Marco says.
"What is that supposed to mean?" I ask
"That he's extremely protective, and is sure of himself that he knows everything. He isn't going to like the fact that you are about to attract every males eye that passes you." Marco explains
"Well lets go shall we?" Elena asks seeming refreshed
I give her a nod as a response. Elena leads the way with me following behind her and Marco behind me. As soon as we walk off the jet I see what seems to be a brand new limo.
"Do you really have so many people dying that you just decided to buy a limo so you don't keep having to rent one?" I ask jokingly even though I know it's not the reason.
"Our people do die from time to time... but as far as the limo goes we use it for celebrations like home arrivals and such. Don't worry, all of your bags are already in there." Marco says
I didn't say anything but I gave a polite nod.
The three of us get in the limo.
"Are you ready for this?" Marco questions me, seeming interested in how I am feeling with a hint of curiosity but I could just be reading him wrong.
"Probably not but I'll be fine." I reply trying to reassure them
"You'll be safe no matter what, I promise."
Elena vows with her heart. "I'm not worried. I just don't like not knowing the outcome. It's more annoying."
I tell the
"Not good with surprises?" Marco asks with a raised eyebrow.
."I handle them well, I just hate them."
I reply
"You really are V's daughter." Marco jokes lightly, shaking his head.
“After almost another hour ; we arrive at a gorgeous mansion. "It's stunning." I say
"Your father helped build and design it with his grandfather, after his own father was killed." Elena tells me.
"That's impressive." I reply Marco nods in agreement with me.
"I've already got a call from my husband wondering what is taking us so long getting back, when they discover why we really went to New York they are going to be furious."
Elena says.
"Yeah I've been getting messages from Luca and Enzo asking questions and round the clock check-ins." Marco says
"Well then let the drama begin." I mumble out but Marco still hears me
"principessa, non avresti dovuto dirlo davvero" ~ princess, you really shouldn't have said that~ Marco says with a light laugh and I just send him a smile and eye roll.
We get out of the car and Elena links her arm in mine and Marco stands on my other side.
"We will get someone to get all of our bags later . I think we should go ahead and deal with the matter at hand." Elena says and I can't help but nod in agreement
"Are you sure about this?" Marco asks.
"I'm still undecided, that's why I flew all the way to Italy to what could become my death.." I reply and he lightly laughs
Elena all but pulls me inside the mansion with Marco walking in front of us. Almost as if he's shielding me with his body so no one can see my face. The mansion from what I can see is stunning on the inside as well. Marco leads Elena and I into what seems to be a private library with a big table in the middle of the room.
"I'll go get everyone. Lena, you can stay here with Tori to make sure she doesn't get scared and run before she even sees them." Marco says.
"I don't run when I get scared." I mumble but he hears it and gives an untrusting smile.
"Just stay here. I'll be back." Marco tells me and all I can do is think of the terminator.
Marco leaves out the room shutting the door behind him and Elena shows me where to sit and she sits on one side of me.
"How do you think this is going to go?" I ask her wanting to know her opinion
"I think they'll be shocked but that tends to wear off fast around here. They'll be mad at first but they'll mostly be mad at me." Elena says.
As soon Elena finishes her sentence the door opens again and Marco comes and sits on my other side. I sit up straighter on instinct when I start to hear people walk in. They can't see my face yet but I can feel stares on the back of my head. I see three older men, a woman, and three men who look to be in their mid to late twenties. All of them are extremely good looking.
Can't anyone here look average?!
The woman has my skin tone and hair color but with brown eyes instead of green. She sits down across from the three of us along with one of the older men who has a lighter hair color and brown eyes. If I'd have to guess I'd say they're Angelina and Ricardo.
One of the younger guys sit down beside Ricardo but he has light hair and lighter colored eyes. If I had to guess based on how he carry's himself I'd say he's Lorenzo.
Another younger guy sits down at the head of table which means he's the boss one hundred percent. Just the way he carries himself tells me he's a confident leader. He has dark hair and dark eyes, and he has tan skin. He lets off a dangerous yet completely intoxicating feel. He has to be the definition of tall dark and handsome.
The two older men stand behind him.
Both of them have dark hair and dark eyes.
