Elena's Point Of View

*The day of Don Mateo's arrival, Kingsley Estate*

"Will you be alright by yourself poppet?" my nana says as she pulls me in for a hug one last time "The Scots could be looming around and might do something!" she added in worry

"You worry too much Agatha, Elena has her bodyguards with her, scattered around the airport and she's a Kingsley! She can handle herself!" Grandpa exlaims "You worry over nothing sometimes my darling." he adds with a wink, making me giggle as Nana smacked him in the arm with a glare.

"Grandpa is right Nan, I can protect myself from those Scottish tw-ts." I assured her with a giggle "Where's my dad?" I ask

"He's making sure that everything goes well at the publishing company. He'll be here when you arrive with Don Mateo." Grandpa says "You need to get going soon, he'll be arriving shortly I believe." he adds as he kissed my forehead

I smiled as I pulled my grandparents for a hug "I'll see you both later, I love you!" I pulled away and hopped on my car with a soft smile on my lips, thinking about my grandparents...

My grandparents had raised me almost all of my childhood, my mother and my dad are often busy with their jobs and if not they would be busy arguing with each other... It worsened when my older brother was k-lled when I was ten, my mother blamed him for his death and never forgave him for it. My father was heartbroken when she filed for divorce and remarried when the divorce hadn't been finalised yet.

I was with my Nan and Grandpa for every anniversary they had as my parents' marriage ended. They were the ones who made me believe that love exists in this business...

I still believe in love... I just need to be out of the ma-ia because I know that they don't mix well. I learned that the hard way...

Mateo's Point Of View

We landed in the airport smoothly without a hitch and now we search for Benjamin or Elena Kingsley

"You need to stop f-cking every flight attendant we get on your plane" Severino shook his head as he lets the luggage boy grab our luggages and placed it in his cart

"So? I have needs. And I doubt Miss Kingsley would give that to me" I scoffed, fixing my tie up as we walked down the arrival area

"On the contrary Don Mateo, I can give you exactly what you want." an unfamiliar voice with an unfamiliar face said with a smirk "Welcome to London signore." she greets in a perfect British accent and spoke in Italian perfectly. "Elena Jane Kingsley" she introduced herself and offered her hand for a handshake.

"It's nice to finally meet you, Ms. Kingsley" I spoke in English "London has it's charms but it's not Sicily" I say, taking her hand and kissed the top of it

"Likewise Don Mateo." she smiled

"You've been to London before?" she asked, pulling her hand away from mine

"I have for business purposes" I answered "You're here all alone" I commented, expecting more bodyguards since she was almost assasinated a few years ago.

"I can handle myself... But to be sure I have ten of my men around the establishment just in case an assasination attempt happens to me again" she smiles ruefully as I observe three of her men who's at the baggage claim, the arrival gate and near the arrival exit "Take their bags in my men's SUV, Jimmy. Mateo and his companion will ride with me" she told the baggage boy kindly.

"Y-Yes Ms. Kingsley" the baggage boy blushed as one of her bodyguards helped the baggage boy push out the cart that has our bags.

"She's a nice little girl... Too nice for you" Severino quipped teasingly with a chuckle

"My father taught me manners signore, besides his father works for me at my restaurant. I'm more than just a little nice girl" Elena quipped back with an innocent smile "Shall we?" she turns around and began walking away to the exit, I smirked as Sev was left speechless and I began to walk with her and Sev trailed behind a few moments later

"Tell me something about yourself Ms. Kingsley" I said once we started driving to the Kingsley Estate.

"What do you want to know?" she chuckled

"Something that's not on the internet or on your file" I say, observing her features up from the corner of my eye.

She is a beautiful woman, with long dark brown hair, hazel coloured eyes, pinkish lips, fair skin and a defined nose.

"I'm not surprised that you have a file about me." she smirks "Well I have your file as well but your reputation as a ruthless Don is well known here with my own men." she stated

"You're not going to read it?" I ask curiously

"I have, but if everything goes well I-" we were cut off by a g-nsh-t.

"Get down!" Severino shouted and grabbed his g-n and began sh--ting the the people who were firing at us "Two cars full of masked men!" he yelled in English and kept firing his g-n

I grab my own loaded g-n just as Elena reached hers in a compartment .

"It's the Scottish Chapter!" she growls looking at the rearview mirror, locking and loading her own g-n and grabbed mine before I could even react "Drive" she says, moving to my seat and sat on the edge of the car window, firing b-llets left and right.

I stepped on the gas pedal as hard as I could and drove away from those Scots

as fast as possible "Why are they trying to k-ll you?!" I asked and averted a van in time

"They want control over the United Kingdom Ma-ia!" she yelled and kept shooting and firing towards the cars chasing after us "Turn left! I know a shortcut!" she yells as she and Severino kept shooting onto the men, I did what I was told and saw a narrow pathway that could barely fit her car "Are you sure about this?!" I yelled back

"Just trust me!" she yells and I drove straight into the narrow pathway

*A few moments Later; Robinson Residence*

John Mcintyre's Point Of View

"What the f**k do you mean she escaped?! I don't pay you to be such f-cking idiots!" I exclaimed on the phone in my office "I want that bi-ch to pay for the de-th of my son!" I growled

"Honey? Is everything okay in here? I heard yelling" my wife said as she peeks through the door.

"I'll call you back Scott." I sighed and hung up the phone, I stood up "Yeah just stressed at the restaurant, we have a food critic coming this week." I pecked her lips

"Don't be hard on yourself, you make amazing and delicious food." she smiles sweetly.

"Where are you off to?" I wondered, looking at her pretty dress.

"Benjamin called... Someone tried to k-ll my daughter again earlier." she sighed "I want to make sure she's safe" she says.

"Elena is a strong girl Elaine... She can handle it." I faked a smile and caressed her cheek

"I know that Andrew, I just can't bear it if I lose another child because of the disgusting ma-ia business." she pecks my lips "I'll see you at dinner." she smiles and began to walk away.

I sighed and shut the door, taking out a recent photo of my only son who died three years ago.

"I haven't been the greatest father to you throughout the years Harrison but I promise you... Elena Kingsley will pay for corrupting you and I won't rest until she is de-d. It should've been her that died that day, and not you." I promised
