The Stubborn One

Episode 7

“Where’s your father?” I asked annoyed as I was told the Italian Mafia Boss was older so he could only be the heir, hopefully I’ll be long gone by then.

“Principessa (princess) my father stepped down so right now he’s enjoying his time in his mansion drinking.” He said mockingly.

I took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.

“Excuse me I need to call my father.” I said with an angry tone as the taking deep breaths did not help me calm down.

“Are you gonna call daddy and ask him to pick you up because you are too weak to survive in a mafia.” He said and bent down to my height to make extra fun of me.

“Asshole.” I murmured however im pretty sure he heard me as he gave me a really bad death stare.

“I’ve got better s**t to do so...” he turned around and started walking away leaving me with no clue of what I was going to do next.

I don’t want to stay here with this sexist pig and from what I’ve picked up on he just stepped up which means he can’t really teach me anything as he’s still learning right, I however can’t call my dad as then I would just be proving him right that I’m ‘weak’ and if I do call my dad I won’t get the training and won’t step up.

Now I’m just standing here in front of the warehouse by myself and with my bags around me, I can’t believe that self centred d**k really left me alone, the hospitality in this place in fantastic.

I rolled my eyes and then tried to pick up all my bags and follow the path the sexist jerk made into the warehouse.

I walk in and I’m shocked this place works like a factory.

I see the sexist pig so I go up to him.

“Excuse me d**k head you forgot to tell me where I’m staying.” I said hating this man more and more by the second.

“So you aren’t calling daddy to pick you up.” He said and I stared at him and didn’t answer.

“Carlo portala nella sua stanza (take her to her room)” he said I understood non of it but some dude which I’m sure I’ve seen before picked up my bags and started walking, no one explained to me what was going on but I decided that I’m probably supposed to follow him.

“This is your room.” Said the dude and then put out his hand, “Carlo Ivano.” 

“Thanks, Ella Anderson.” I said and shook his hand.

“Carlo have I seen you before?” I asked curiosity getting the best of me.

“Ella we met before yes She Devil.” He said giving and laugh and then walking away.

That’s were I saw him at the race when I went to get the money I won I saw him sitting there.

I walk into the room and it’s a good size, I look around and find a bathroom, a kitchen, a bedroom and a living space, all the walls are plain but it’s ok I’ll add my little decorations here and there and this room will be as cozy as home.

I start unpacking, there’s no food in the kitchen but there are keys, I take the keys around my room seeing which one goes where, there was one for my bedroom and three for the rooms main the the one that leads out, the extras are probably in case I lose one or something.

It took me around 3 hours but I finally unpacked, I was reluctant but ended up unpacking everything to put it into my mind that this is permanent for now and that I can’t leave because my Boss is sexist and mocks me.

I don’t get why he doesn’t like me, yeah I beat him at a race and he’s a sour loser but I did it fairly, all my life I’ve been working my ass of to be respected and not took for less but here I am again in this stupid repetitive situation.

That dude in going to make my life a hell.

I call my dad not because I’m trying to get back home but because I need him to give me the info he n in knows on this guy.

“Hey dad.” I smiled as dad answered on the first ring.

“Princess you arrive safely?” Dad asks and I nod forgetting he can’t see me as this is just a call so I answer with a yes. “Have you met Mr Romano?” 

“That’s why I called dad did you know that Mr Romano stepped down, his son stepped up and I wanted to know the info you have on him.” I say.

“Well I only really know that he enjoys racing, I will call Mr Romano and ask him.” Dad said and I could hear little Ethan in the background.

“No dad don’t bother, from what I heard Mr Romano is enjoying his retirement.” I said and dad laughed.

“Well princess everything will work out just fine and you know that no matter how small any problem is call me and I will solve it.” Dad said, the last part saying he will kill anyone who bothers me.

“Thanks dad but you know I can deal with stuff myself.” I said and heard dad taking a deep breath.

“I know princess that’s what’s scares me the most about you, you have to know that sometimes it’s okay to take help and that you don’t need to do stuff always on your own, you don’t have to prove yourself strong because I know you are but even strong people need a little help sometimes.” Dad said and I thanked him for being so awesome and then turned the call off.
