The Don's Donna

Chapter 3

Location: Ravenhood

Valentina’ pov

I slowly took my eyes to meet his, he was truly awake “ Valentina how could you be so reckless” my thoughts scolded me. His blue eyes pierced through mine and his lips curved into a smirk “I'm…I'm sor…sorry” I stuttered while trying to find the perfect words for this situation.

I must say he was really good looking, the bruises on his face only complimented his face giving the gangster vibes. He looked like a model straight of a magazine and like someone that had great influence.

I felt embarrassed and instantly washed with regrets. I wishes the ground could swallow me up right now.

His eyes where still glued to mine, I kept avoiding his gaze, I was too shy to look at him, all I could do was stare at the cracks on the floor of the old house like I saw it for the first time.

I heard him chuckle, “ careful amore moi, you don't wanna play with fire” he said with a mischivieous smile. His words made me scoff, “that is it” my thoughts screamed. Does he think that he’s some big shot?

I'm still starving and his stiches are still fresh why the f**k should he tease me about something like that. “Ungrateful bastard, I just saved your life and you couldn't even give me a thank you but you're okay with flirting with me” I said sarcastically with my hands folded underneathy Blossom.

I knew very well that I was at fault I should’nt have touched him, but common i'm not just gonna accept it and look stupid I front of this fucker. He just stared at me with that smile never leaving his face and it was so annoying.

Why did his gaze make me feel shy, I don't usually feel this way around men. I've seen alot of good looking men at the brothel but my heart never raced for them. I don't know and for some strange reasons this stranger’s gaze made me feel uneasy.

“You're so lucky I saved your ass” I kept nagging but this mother fucker just spared me one glanece and drifted to sleep, ignoring me completely as if I was never there.

I Walked into the kitchen to prepare some herbs and incent before making arrangement for what to eat, believe me I could extend this whole thing but i'm too hungry to endure any drama. “Ungrateful bastard”

Matteo’s POV

Fiesty, I like that, just the way I like my women. I heard what she said “ungrateful bastard” my Amore moi really got some nerves huh, any other person would be dead by now. I bet if she knew who I was she's gonna be scared.

Her touch made my body react, I have never felt this way for any woman, I want her for myself and I will get her.

My body reacted in a way that I would rather not at this time. I've not been involved with any woman for years, but I don't mind having her for myself.

If anyone lays a finger on her, I will cut off his arms and serve it to the dogs for dinner, I mean every word I say. Matteo Rizzo doesn't go back on his words, I don't play with my words.

I watched her walk out of the room and she really looked cute as she kept nagging, her reaction made me chuckle.

Valentina's POV

I Walked into the kitchen and was so grateful that I was able to escape that awful situation.” What was I really thinking” my thoughts scolded me as I face palmed myself.

I prepared some incent and herbs for him to speed up his recovery, and I knew he would be hungry too. I had to summon courage, get in there and treat him. I kept avoiding his gaze but this guy wouldn't stop staring at me, at some point I was so scared I rescued a psychopath.

My stomach kept rumbling and I knew I needed something to eat badly. The containers grandma used to store grains and food were full of cob webs and dust, I couldn't find a single thing to eat there.

This whole thing was so frustrating, I knew it wasn't going to be easy when I ran away, but I'm starving. I clutched to my stomach as the pain and noise wouldn't stop.

I checked Grandma's lockers and old clothes for some change and I was able to find a rumpled note. It wasn't much but atleast I could get something with it.

This town was indeed cut off from the modern world but I couldn't afford being seen by someone at least not now. I took a veil with me and left to buy some food for us to eat, closing the old wooden door behind me.

Matteo's POV

I pretended to be asleep and woke up when she left, I could see how weak she was from the way she walked and staggered. I knew she was hungry because her stomach kept saying it.

My men would be here anytime soon, I stood up taking in all the pain, put on my washed clothes and waited for their arrival. “The Murrell's should better warm up for what's coming” I thought as a smirk found it's way to my lips.

Valentina's POV

I reached the market to see what my rumpled notes could get me. It was indeed a busy day, people flooded the road and I kept bumping into so many people.

The curses I got and the look of disgust on their faces was enough to hunt and kill me. I was too weak to even apologize.

The staggering became obvious and at some point I thought I was gonna pass out, “ hurry up if not you're gonna pass out here” my thoughts told me what I was already aware of.

The woman gave me what I needed and the next thing that followed was a grip on my hand “Valentina …”
