The Dangerous Family Secrets

Soraya's POV. Awoken from her reoccurring dream Soraya climb out of bed throwing the window open, she inhaled the musty treasure of nature, the smell of last nights rain in the early morning made Soraya smiled, she sat on the window seat from the third floor of her fathers vacation house in Tuscany. It was the middle of summer, but there was no heat in the air for the telling of this. her curly red hair fanned her slender cheeks as the wind blew, sending cold but tingling chills down her curvy figure. The thin rose coloured night gown she wore was no shield from the cold but she rather enjoyed the feeling. Looking down at her self she remember her sixteenth birthday, her night gown was a gift from her older sister, Raven. she remembered the blackest of hair and the pinkest of lips that carried the warmest laugh she ever heared. Lost in thought Soraya did not hear the knocks at her door,until a flash of that night stunned her from her cold reprieve. "Soraya! Soraya! Did you even sleep a wink last night?"her bestfriend Naomi asked, bursting into her room, Seeing her sitting at the window. "I slept for an hour i suppose,Why are you even up? It's rather early and you know you get cranky when you wake early." Soraya wanted to changed the subject of her rather unhealty sleeping habit which her, family and her bestfriend seem to always fuss over. But for soraya she did not feel sleep deprived, she never understood why others needed to sleep eight hours, that to her was what's really unhealthy. "Your right, i am cranky but am also super pissed off," Soraya stared blankly at Naomi waiting for the rant that was sure to follow. "Can you beeelieve That Adam is with that heffer in Amsterdam!", she shouted while shoving her phone in Soraya's face with a picture of the two. "who does that skinny blond wanna be Clara Alonso chick think she is??and can you believe the nerve of Adam, that wanker !!!going out with her, its not even two weeks since we broke up i could kill them!!" Naomi paced back and forth on the same spot flaying her arms, as if her shouting was'nt dramatic enough. Naomi and her serpent of a boyfriend Adam has had an on again off again relationship for a while, Soraya had no like or love for the guy but she knew he sometimes made her bestfriend happy but she cared more about how he mostly made her sad. "Calm down, i though you were over that peanut size IQ of a man". Soraya murmured, making her way to Naomi's side. Naomi's curley black hair looked a mess as bids of sweat shinned on her dark skin, she had a slinder figure with high perfect cheek bones,but her grey slightly blue eyes sparked with fire. They were her fathers eyes. Naomi was the daughter of Baldoor Swyffer, a powerful man, he ran one of the biggest tech companys in Paris, Swyffer Tech ,which made million but his true wealth comes from being the leader of Eurpoe's undergrown clandestine group. swyffer is a man that even the devil would think twice to cross. His empire stretch throughout the span of the European continent and even some parts of Asia. "How about we go downstairs and get a drink, i could use one and you looked rather miserable",said Soraya Naomi laughed at her request. But even the church knows naomi never turns down a good bottle of boos, mainly scotch. "Why not" with a smirk Naomi retort, after all this is a vacation". Throwing her arms around soraya they made their way to the kitchen Naomi grab two glass from the shelf putting ice in them after which soraya poured a bottle of Single Molt Whisky scotch into both. "Its way too early to be drinking Naomi, don't you think?" Raya smirked pouring her self another round, Raya was a nick name that her friends and family loved to call her by. "but this was your idea Raya", came Naomi's so what voice "ah, but its one you gladly complied with if i might add" laughed Raya Noami laughed at that their silly banter, which she knew was Raya's way of trying to lighten her mood and honestly she could say it was staring to work. "so what should we do today, Naomi chirped up. "We could go down to the beach, but why not tell me first, why you dragged me here on a very sudden three day vacation" Soraya had called up naomi yesterday saying that she wanted, no needed to get a way from the confines of the De Luca mansion. Growing up around body guards and nanny's, death and money Raya seem to garnered an evil side to her that scared even the silent bones in her body. But the increase of her reoccurring dream made her questioned her sanity and integrity. The De luca family ran the Italian mob her father Lorenzo De luca was know to be a fair and loyal man, but when crossed he could become the evil that even evil men feared. Her mother Lily-ann De luca was attractive but treacherous, people said her beauty was what made her so loved, but also feared. she had long shiny red curle's which soraya undoubtedly got from her, her blue eyes reminded soraya of the sea, beautiful but deadly, but Raya's eyes where green that which she took from her father. Her younger brother Sorenzo De luca also called Renzo of fourteen look every bit of their father, with his dark hair and green eyes, her older sister Soraven De luca, known has Raven also had dark hair but their mothers blue eyes she was the only on to take her mothers hair but fathers eyes.. Raya sighed, knowing she cannot lie to her bestfriend and now more than ever she needed some one to confide in. She grip the thin fabric of her night gown has she spoke. " i think am losing my sanity" Soraya finally said. "Your sanity?" Naomi asked confused "why would you think that?". "For the past three years I've been having the same dream almost every night" Naomi never took her eyes off Soraya, its was like she was encouraging her to go on with her eyes. "I'm standing in a lake covered in leaches, in a silver dress, i could hear the sounds of people talking around me through the musty old trees but i can never see their faces, then i suddenly appear in a cafe sitting with Monaya Vadeem". Naomi went rigid once she spoke that name the look in her eyes, needing her to confirm if she heard her right.. "yes, Monaya the Russian mob boss's dead wife telling me to hide from their lies and that she loved me but she didn't get the time to tell me the truth". Soraya let out a breath she didn't know she was holding while Naomi just stared at her in uttor silence she could feel the stiffness of the room which made her ever so uneasy but she feared what her bestfriend would have to say or rather think of her. "Wow! so your dreaming of a dead lady" naomi finally said rubbing her hands together as if they gave her comfort. "Well that's a very strange dream from where I'm standing or rather sitting, but it holds a weight of confusion, don't you think? "I am confused" soraya shot back standing to her feet in split seconds, that's the whole point Naomi, it makes no sense why i would dream of her or why she would say she loves me or what lies she's supposedly talking about, Raya ranted in a skew of frustration. Soraya had never spoken about her dreams to any one and now saying it out loud made the reality of it ever so frightening, as if her spoken words had some how given life to something terrible she knew was coming no matter how she didn't want it to. "When was the last time you saw Terrence", Naomi asked pulling her from her drowning thoughts, "not since i was ten and thank the gods for that" she said with a hiss and her glass near her lips Terrence Vadeem is the son of Monaya and Trimone Vadeem, Trimone his the head of the Russian Mob and from what Raya could tell manners and a sense of humility was nothing he posses, people called him Trick Trimone for her mother once told her that Mr. Vadeem is an artist who knew the games of life well and for those who were ignorant to it's claws were easy pickings for him. The vadeem family has run the Russian mob for over a hundred years and their family is well renowned by the elites and politican of Russia who may or may not know the true dealing of the vadeem family. From s*x trade to drugs to assassins the vadeem's where respected above most family of the underground clandestine. Old money she guessed. "Ok then, enough of these heavy subjects" Naomi said ,lets get ready and hit the beach then tonight we go clubbing we could both blow off sum steam and this is a summer vacation if i might add". She got up from her place in the kitchen and head upstairs but Soraya sat there at the island for a moment with a feeling of fear, you know that feeling where something bad was about to happen...it was a feeling she just couldn't shake. She went back upstairs and took a shower then threw on her black and gold bikini with a shorts and sum gucci slippers, she comb the tangles from her wet hair then grab her bag and threw the stuff she needed into it.. On her way out of her room her phone rang, alerting her to it still being on her bed side table. she made her way over to the lavish bed side futniture and took up the phone where she saw five missed calls, all from her mother, Raya pocketed her phone and head downstairs deciding she didn't want to deal with her mother at the moment. Don't get her wrong Soraya loved her mother but with everything going on she did not have the nerve to lie to her. "I see you're ready, and cute outfit" Naomi said with a much happier tone than of earlier..Naomi's ability to switch moods easily undoubtedly frustrated Soraya to no end, but it's one of the things Raya loved about her bestfriend. "You look great also" Soraya said " I'm loving those shades they bring out your amazing bone structure" "I know" naomi said striking a pose and pouting her lips as if in front of a camera.. Raya just laughed and dragged her through the front door bumping straight into Ryan her body guard, who soraya totally forgot about. "Sorry Ryan, i did not see you there" Soraya quickly apologized. "Its no trouble Ms. De luca" Ryan said ,dressed in his well tailored black suite and well comb blond hair he kept in a small pony tail at the back of his neck. "Where are you lady's off to" he finally said. "Down to the beach" Naomi quickly said before Soraya could respond, Naomi had a thing for Ryan it was so clear but she would deny it to a fault When ever Raya teased her about him. The vacation house was situated near the beach which was private property owned by the De luca family, looking around Soraya could see two other guards patrolling the perimeter of the grounds no doubt there were more throughout the premises.. "Well then, don't let me delay you any further" Ryan said as they made their way down to the beach. spreading out their towels they sat down and applyed sun screen to each other backs, then they laid there basking in the sun. Laying on their backs and soaking up the sun, Naomi looked up at Soraya who had a worried look on her face but even against her better judgement she said "Raya i think my dad is up to something" "Why would you say that" Raya asked turning to face her bestfriend " its just that lately he's being suspicious, especially when he gets phone calls, i think he's seeing some one" Naomi said " seeing someone, are you sure" Soraya asked looking puzzled, she didn't know much about Naomi's mother but she's known Mr Swyffer and Naomi long enough to know her father has never brought a woman into Naomi's and his life before. " well it sure seem because what else than a woman could have a man in his early 40's laughing like a silly school girl" Naomi said " so are you saying your ok with him getting back out there or are you upset that he might bring a woman who is not your mom into the family" Raya asked " Raya, i honestly don't know how i feel about something like that" Naomi answered " by the way Naomi you never really talk about your mom i don't even know anything about her" Raya asked hoping she wasn't stepping on forbidden territory. " honestly, i don't know much, and i don't really remember much about my mom, but i do remember she had a soothing voice because she use to sing to me, i don't even know her name because its not even on my birth certificate" Naomi said " how is that even possible" Soraya asked looking shock. " i really can't tell you, all i know is she was in my life and at the age of five she just disappeares and anytime i try to ask dad about her he gets upset and say that it's best my mom stay away from me" " that doesn't make any sense though" Raya said " i know, i think he's keeping me from her but why i don't know" Naomi said has she push her shade back up to her eyes and layed down. Thinking to her self, Soraya didn't know how to respond to her bestfriends pain because she had always had her mom around and she was grateful for that. Diverting the tension from her question Soraya decide to ask Naomi about Adam now that she had calm down. " Naomi don't you think its time you have moved on from this farce of a relationship" Soraya said trying to keep her tone even hoping she did not come off arrogant. " its not like that Raya, its just thing are complicated with Adam and I" said Naomi in a defensive tone. " am not trying to tell you how to live your life but don't you think this on again off again thing is a bit unhealthy" said Raya " he's not has bad has you think, and most times I'm the one who cause him to get upset" said Naomi in a desperate breath Soraya stood up at the sound of this in a fury she could not believe her ears, she was not about to let her bestfriend blame herself for that cheating play boy. " hell no!, you did not just say that how can you be blamed for him choosing to have a different flavour every month, you deserve better Naomi!" shouted Soraya " don't!, barked Naomi standing to her feet, please don't lecture me on my relationship for you have never had one to understand what its like" " i didn't come on this trip to have you get at me about this please, Naomi continued, Soraya was starting to feel bad, it was not her intention to get at her friend about her relationship or try to make her feel bad about it, she only wanted what was best for her friend and right now getting at each others throats was not what was best for their friendship. " so calm down am sorry, said Raya it was not my intention to lecture you, i only want you to be happy Naomi and if its with adam then i hope for the best" Soraya had a hard time saying that last bit it was as if biole was at her throat, for she knew no good could come from a Naomi and Adam union. " its ok i know you only want what's best" said Naomi, and further more adam and i are over. The girls spent the better part of the day on the sand with only naomi going for a swim while Soraya watched. she had too much on my mind to really enjoy the moment but she tried her best for Naomi's sake.. Later that day around seven both girls got ready to go clubbing, Soraya still had that uneasy feeling but she paid it no mind. from her bedroom she call to Ryan over the monitor to bring the car around and that they were ready.. Even though Soraya hated having guards by her side twenty four seven she understood that she was a De luca and Naomi was a Swyffer and what both power and dangers their last name brought them. But the dangers she wish to forget has she remembered her sister Raven. Soraya look in the mirror one last time feeling comfortable with her Versace blue cocktail dress that hugged her hips showing of her curvy figure she got from her mother with her black red bottoms. Her curly red hair was put up with few curls dangling at her cheeks...She made her way down stairs where Naomi was waiting for her in a short white dress that could make a priest sin and her dark hair bouncing off her shoulders. "Are you trying to make a statement" Soraya choked out "Dame right i am, if Adam thinks that Naomi Swyffer is to be trifled with, he is in for a rude awakening" Naomi said while talking about her self in the third person. Raya smiled at her best friend and made their way to the car. For she was not about to say anything about adam to make Naomi mad. Club Simone was one of the hottest spots for anybody who is anybody in Tuscany and Naomi choose it for just that reason. They entered the club through the Vip door and was escorted to a booth by one of the services staff members. The club was packed, their were lights bouncing off the walls in various colors, with loud music. The Vip area was up on the second floor balcony, there were dark leather seats of three with white tables in front each section and a bar at the far left of the area. "Two dirty martini for the both of us, and keep them coming " Naomi said to a female waitress The music was loud, and it help to drown the feeling of doom soraya had. by her fifth martini Raya started to feel rather warm and uneasy, Naomi was now grinding on a guy Raya did not know "I'm going to the rest room, i'll be back" soraya said loudly to Naomi who just nod and continued dancing. Ryan escorted Soraya to the Ladies bathroom where he made sure it was secure before leaving and then stood guard outside.. Raya step in the ladies room that look a mess she place her black bag on the sink and looked at her self in the mirror, she looked beautiful but a mess. she could feel her heart beat growing faster with every breath, she grab a hand full of paper towel and wet it from the sink.. Pressing the damp material to her neck and chest to calm her self down.. A buzz from the sink made her look down, it was her phone, she removed it from her bag staring at the unknown number and before she knew what she was doing she answered it. "Hello, Soraya answered, for a few seconds came no reply on the other end, but just as she was about to drop the call a very strange yet familiar voice made it's way to her ear. " you look rather breath taken in that dress" the voice said, "Excuse me but who is this" Raya said spinning around to find she was alone in the bathroom " how quickly you forget me darling and i though we were friend" the voice said again.. " Look A** ole i don't know who you are and am ending this call right now" Soraya said through greeted teeth. "You have a dirty mouth Soraya, you always did" little gemstone" and with those words Soraya instantly knew who was on the other side of the line her fingers flew to her lips and with a soft muffled voice she said "Terrence"
