HIS RUTHLESS MAFIA QUEEN

CHAPTER 2: I fell for it

Valentine POV:

I decided to walk towards it, one step, then another. As I walked past the door his voice stops me, I don’t turn.

“ you are going to regret leaving”

I glance over my shoulder.

“Maybe”

Then I walk out of the hall way and then see two guys, I guess the wolf called them to stop me. Ye right.

The two men move immediately, one tries to grab my arm. I duck his arm closed around nothing. I drive my elbow into his rib and hears his grunt that escapes him.

“You unskilled idoit” I said with a smirk on my face.

the second one comes at me from the side, I turn just in time, his first hit miss my face by inches. I grab his wrist, use his momentum against him and send him crashing down.

The first man seems to have recovered. He catches me from behind, an arm wraps around my waist. I then slam my head back ward aiming for his nose. His knows cracks against my skull. His grip loosens.

I don’t wait, I run immediately.

“ Get her, that little b***h!”

Footsteps follows behind me

I tear down the hallway,

“f**k, why did I wear heels” my heels pushing against the marble floor.

a hand then catches the back of my jacket, I twist violently. The fabric pulls I slip out of it. My jacket remains in his fist as I keep running. It’s expensive

“ she is running for the exit” on of the man grumbled.

I reached the door, f**k locked of course. I grabbed the handle

“Dear lord please, just this once” I spoke to myself silently.

Nothing was happening, oh no. Footsteps gets closer. three man are coming towards me, I have seconds lefts before they reach me. Once, twice, and finally the lock gives, the door opens. Cold fresh hair hit my face. I sprint outside, behind me, someone shouts I don’t stop. My heels comes off as I run. One drops somewhere behind me and the other one I couldn’t care less. My fingers reaches my pocket to grab my keys. I couldn’t feel anything, I check again my heart drops. My keys, I turn around. They are on the ground several feet’s away from me.

“f**k”

I sharply run back and pick up the keys. I unlock the door, throw myself inside. Something is wrong, my car isn’t moving. I look through my windshield. My car is sitting lower than I expected. I step back out. All four tires are flat.

“no”

They did this, either before the meeting or when my plan failed. They planned for me to run. Oh Mateo, this son of a b***h is crazy. A door slams somewhere behind me, I look back, Mateo is standing at the entrance he doesn’t even have to say anything, I am trapped.

I back way from my car, my mind races. The parking lot is too open, and to top everything I am surrounded. And more men are even coming, I need another way.

Then I hear an engine. A black SUV, for a second I thought it was another De Luca vehicle, but then speeds and enters the parking lot. Hitting some of Mateo’s men. Then the highlight flash twice, my signal. Relief hits so hard my knees almost buckle

“Stop her” Mateo screams at the top of his lungs.

The car screeches to stop beside me. The passenger door opens.

“Get in”

I don’t hesitate, I jump inside, the car takes off before the door is fully closed. I turn around Mateo is still standing in the distance. His eyes are on me and shoots aiming for the tyre but he misses. He watches me disappear. I sink into the seat, breathing hard.

Macro, my cousin grips the steering wheel and drives off.

“You are late” I mouthed as I rolled my eyes

“ that’s another way to say thank you” macro exclaimed

“Thank you? I almost died” I yelp my voice anxiously

“ you are welcome” he responded

“ Marco, I know you helped me but I told you if I am not at the location in 45 mins you should come get me, checking the time, I spent about 52 mins before you came to get me” I muttered

“ well seven mins would not make any difference”

“ it did, i had a gun on my head macro, and wait hope you didn’t tell dad”

“ nope, baby cousin. And also never do this again, it’s very dangerous. You are going to be the heir soon”

“ I am the La Regina Rossa, the red queen. If I don’t learn how to face dangers, I will I over come them. Macro, I didn’t do this to get myself killed. The De Luca are planing against us. it’s either I step forward and be the red queen that I am or get over shadowed by the wolf” I replied to him softly

“ I know, but anything you want to do for know, let everyone know. You were out numbered you were just lucky they didn’t use weapons”

“ you don’t have to rub it on my face, and okay I have heard” I giggled.
