Chapter 2
Victor’s POV
5 a.m my alarm sounds,waking me for the first day of fall term.
I take a quick shower,get dressed and go for a 5 mile run, when I get back I hit the gym for an hour before getting ready for my first lecture.
At 8 a.m I walk inside the lecture hall feeling the nerves hitting my veins,
and the butterflies scrambling in my belly.
Will she be here? I do hope so.
I don’t have to wait long before she comes in and damn she truly is a goddess.
Jetblack hair with purple streaks, a pair of stormy grey eyes and a body to die for, you know curves in all the right places.
This has been the highlight for the last couple of years watching her walk in class
every day.
I only know her firstname and I do know she’s from Boston, she has the accent.
That's why I stay away, just hearing my name will have her running for the hills.
The Bertoli’s are for Boston what the Teflon Don was for New York. Everybody knows your name and what it stands for.
My father being il diavolo (The devil) and my brother being il demonio (The demon)
my only luck is i'm not a “made”man yet so I still have some anonymity.
While I sit there staring at and daydreaming about my goddess I feel a slap on my back.
I turn around to see my best friend Tex standing there , 6.4 with dirty blond hair
and piercing blue eyes he is every girls or guys wet dream.
My roommate since day 1 he is the only one who knows who I am.
His dad and uncle are the ones that talked me into gathering evidence against my father and Matt is the one keeping it safe in the safe on his ranch.
Matt Hamlock and his brother Mason are Texas Rangers and offered to help me take my family down.
Because they are in law inforcement they have their contacts all over the country.
I’ll tell you Matt and his wife Doris have been like family to me. Every spring break
Tex and I go to their cattle ranch in Bandera County and they always welcome
me with open arms.
Hey man daydreaming about Kiara again Tex asks, you know if you don’t make a move soon I will make her my southern bell you know that right?
But I don’t mind sharing,he said with a wink, I just shake my head.
Where the hell were you man? I asked Tex because he didn’t check in with me yet.
Sorry dude I just got in, still have my bags in the mustang, mama bear couldn’t let go he chuckled.
Damn I missed you Tex! I have so much to tell you.
So after class I will help you unpack so I can fill you in on what I found out this summer.
As the professor walks into the lecture hall Tex takes his seat next to me and my last year officially starts.
When I look up to the professor I was flabbergasted,there in front of the class stood Mason Hamlock.
With my brow raised I looked over to Tex
he just gave me the dude I don't know look.
I looked back when "uncle" Mase started talking.
Good morning class he said my name is Mason Hamlock I'm a Texas Ranger and your new criminology professor.
Since this is your last year a few things will be different, in the next weeks to come I will pair you with a partner and you will have to work on a paper together.
Since we have an uneven number of students in this class we will have one trio.
I will assign all pairs and trio a case that has been in court and I want you to work out and discuss how you would handle this case.
Now remember this paper will be very important for your final grade in this class
so I expect nothing but 100% commitment from you guys.
Oh and all pairs will be final so no switching partners no matter what.
Now that we got that out of the way let's start this class.
And with that said he started his lecture,I moved closer to Tex and asked him,he man what the hell? Did you know uncle Mase was going to teach criminology this year?
He just looked at me and said no dude I just saw him yesterday and he said nothing so I'm at a loss here just as you.
I turned back and focused on the rest of the lecture.
As soon as class is over I pack up my things, fist bump Tex and see Kiara running out the lecture hall like a bat out of hell.
She must have skipped breakfast again after her swim this morning.
Some things never change I think shaking my head,as it start walking to my next lecture.
I can't wait for this school day to be over because I have some unpacking to do.
I'm so looking forward to that and I feel something inside me twitch.
