The Revenge of a Mafia Princess

Chapter 03

Lilliana POV

"Are you guys okay?"

Yeah, I opened my eyes when I heard that voice; it was true that Matteo was in front of me right now. For a moment I could breathe a sigh of relief, because maybe Matteo could get me and Callum out of here.

"Hey."

I gasped as Matteo tapped me on the shoulder. I looked up and said, "I'm fine; take Callum away from here."

Matteo pulled my hand and picked up Callum, then led me away from there. As I ran, I kept looking at Matteo's back. Did I miss him? Damn, what was I thinking?

"You won't be able to run!"

Our steps stopped; Vlad and his members stopped us. They even had pistols, which made me even more afraid. During my time in Italy, I had never experienced anything like this.

I could see Matteo looking confused; he pulled out his gun again. Then he handed Callum to me, saying, "Quickly take your son away!"

"No! I can't leave you here alone!" I said defiantly, Of course Matteo could die if he faced them alone.

"Don't be stubborn! Leave if you want your son to live!" Matteo shouted.

I was silent for a moment, then nodded. Of course I did not want my son to get hurt. I ran away, although there were some chasing me, but Matteo managed to shoot the mobster and let me run.

"Damn it! They're chasing me!" I kept running to find a safe place, but there were too many of them, and I couldn't face them without a weapon.

Bang...

Once again the gunshots rang out loudly, almost killing me. But there was someone who managed to thwart that plan; I turned my head to look at a man who approached me. It was the man who had just shot the mafia member Vlad who was chasing me, but I was still wary because I didn't know if he was an enemy or a friend.

"Who are you?" I asked while hugging Callum.

"Sorry, miss, I'm Antony, assistant to Mr. Matteo. Are you okay?"

"What is the proof?" I asked, still wary.

Antony took out some pictures of him with Matteo and his business card. Seeing that, I could finally breathe a sigh of relief. At least my life and Callum's were not in danger. "I'm fine," I said with a sigh of relief, but right now I was thinking about Matteo's condition. What if the man died?

"Antony, you take Callum away from here," I said, giving Callum to Antony. Yeah, hopefully my decision was not wrong.

"What about you? I was assigned to take you away," Antony asked, looking confused.

I didn't pay much attention to Antony's words; I looked at my son for a moment and then said, "Callum, take care of yourself. Mommy will be back soon."

After saying that, I walked over to get the mob gun that Antony had killed. "Take Callum away from here; if he gets hurt even a little, you will die by my hand," I said to Antony, a little threateningly.

"But what about you? Where are you going?" asked Antony.

"I am going to help Matteo." I tied my hair, then ran to Matteo's place. Yeah, maybe it was time to put into practice everything I learned from my father.

Antony could not stop me; he chose to go with Callum. As for me? I rushed to Matteo, who was almost dead; luckily, I managed to shoot some of the mobsters who surrounded Matteo.

Dor...

Gunshots ringing out, I put all my shooting and martial arts skills into action. I wasn't very good, but I was a mafia princess. Dad always taught me shooting, martial arts, and even archery. Yeah, they could all come in handy now.

"Lilliana?" Matteo looked surprised to see me.

"Don't think I'm weak," I said as I walked over to Matteo and helped him up. I stared at Matteo for a while, and then we both fought them together.

A lot of blood had to be paid, especially since they had dared to kill my father and brother. I wanted to cry and hug my father and Silas, but I held back because if I did that, I would die too.

"Just die!" Unable to control my emotions, I shot and killed all of Vlad's mafia members. Without realizing Vlad was coming with the same anger, we locked eyes for a while.

"So this is the daughter of Alessio's mafia who was hidden for years?" Vlad looked at me with a gaze that was difficult to interpret, then said, "Interesting, stubborn like Alessio. Will you have the same fate?"

My anger peaked; I could no longer contain it. "Damn it! You heartless old man! You're dead!" I shouted as I ran up to Vlad with a gun in my hand.

I fought with Vlad, as my martial arts knowledge was fairly basic. I lost a few times, but I wasn't going to give up until he was dead.

"Lilliana, enough." Matteo stopped me, because I was already battered, and even my hand was wounded by Vlad's shot.

"I want him dead, Matteo!" I said to Matteo.

"I know, but not now. We should leave here; remember your son; don't die in vain here." Matteo invited me to leave when he saw that Vlad was off guard because he was overwhelmed by Lilliana.

After thinking, I finally nodded. I accepted Matteo's hand, and we left quickly before Vlad attacked him again. We finally managed to escape to safety.

"Are you okay? Where is your son? Why did you dare to attack them like that?" The scolding came out of Matteo's mouth, which was probably what I missed from Matteo.

I took a deep breath and said, "What about Papa and Silas? I have to take them away too."

Matteo stopped me again. "Don't be crazy; they are probably dead. I've sent a mafia squad to take them all out; after they're gone, my men will take your father's and Silas' bodies," he explained at length.

For some reason that explanation made my heart hurt, especially when Matteo said that my father and Silas were dead. I never thought this day would be the worst day ever.

"No, Papa and Silas must be alive," I said with tears flowing again, remembering that the family I had was gone. Callum was the only one left.

I don't know why Matteo suddenly hugged me, because I needed a hug, so I let him. I cried into Matteo's arms; I was completely destroyed at this time.

"Are you really married and have children?"

Matteo's question made me move away from him; I was silent for a moment while wiping my tears. "Of course Callum is my son; he's the only family I have now," I said, smiling sadly.

"Then where is he now?" asked Matteo.

"I left him with a man who claimed to be your assistant; he said you sent him."

"Assistant? Are you sure? Why are you so careless? What if it was a member of Vlad's mafia?"

Damn! Damn Matteo, suddenly my heartbeat almost stopped. There was only one thing on my mind: was Callum okay?

"Damn it! What are you waiting for? Quickly call your assistant; is the man I met your assistant or not?" I shouted in panic.
