Antonio's P . O . V I find it unbelievably funny how kids back from my hometown wish to be leader of a Mafia group because all they see it as is a gang of well dressed men who get whatever they want but in actual facts, it's not. I'm loosing my mind. "Where the fu*king hell is Luca?" I demanded whilst loosing my patience as two of my trusted men, Marco and Stefano stepped into my office. One thing I hated most asides disobedience is being kept waiting. It annoys the sh*t out of me and I'm only but wondering why Luca all of people who has worked under me for ten solid years would decide to make such a big mistake. "Boss, I hate to say this but I believe we have been betrayed by Luca." Marco my second in command replied after being hesitant for a while. "WHAT?!" I roared out, mostly from disbelief than from the annoyance my tone displayed. "News reached us that he was caught with members of the southern raiders trying to steal away most of our new shipments and a truckload of arms." Marco explained while I sat there unable to believe my ears. "There was a severe struggle when they were apprehended but, It's a good thing our men were able to recover all from them though we incurred some casualties" Stefano added and I shifted my gaze from Marco to him still unable to say a word. "And we also have Luca presently under our custody" Marco concluded and I felt the growing annoyance in my chest increase at Marco's announcement. It's not the first nor the second time I'm getting betrayed or even worse, but by Luca? This really isn't something I had ever expected from someone like him. Ever since I took over the Mafia way back to ten years, Luca has been one of the few men I could trust with my life and now I find him dining with my enemies? A shame indeed. I'll show him that no one messes with Antonio Moretti and gets away with it. No One, Absolutely no one. "Have Luca thrown in the dungeon immediately, I'll see to him myself first thing tomorrow morning. Food and water must be kept far away from him and ensure every single one of my men that sustained an injury or even so much as a scratch during the course of the struggle get all the aid they need" I ordered and rose to my feet. In as much as I'll love to know right away just exactly why Luca would betray me, one look at him right now and I could s***h his throat right away and I didn't wanna do that just yet. "Yes Boss" Marco and Stefano chorused and were out of my office in no time while I fisted both my hands and clenched my teeth at the same time in annoyance then snatched my coat and stormed out of the office and upstairs into my room where I settled for a nice shower and threw on something comfortable. I climbed up on my freshly laid bed and was about to get some sleep but I found my mind drifting off to just what I would do to Luca. My own thoughts only fueled my anger further and I couldn't bring myself to close my eyes so I got off bed and walked over to my window to just watch the clear skies and the bright full moon like I always did on nights like this before I could fall asleep when I noticed something off. My room is positioned on the extreme end of the second floor leaving me just enough view of the entire surrounding area so it wasn't difficult to spot the figure I watched drawing closer to my fence. I squinted my eyes more from amusement as I watched the person climb up my fence just as my men where exchanging duty. Smart. Someone is about to die tonight. I couldn't tell who the person was but all I came up with was that if at all the individual was here for me which I'm very much certain of, I should as well make it easier. With a smirk on my face, I gently opened my window and took steps backwards to place my self on the single steel chair present in my room and sat patiently, waiting for whomever it was to come. The person wasted no time and was up by my window in no time. I couldn't tell what was going on yet but I really was enjoying it all. The person gently slipped in through the window and tiptoed forward with a knife held out in one hand while I sat behind watching in amusement and only when the person approached my bed further did I notice something. She's a woman? Unbelievable! but this curvy figure surely doesn't belong to a man. So yes, She really is a woman. She reached my bed and froze for a while, I now concluded she probably must have noticed I was missing and this is where the fun begins. "Looking for me?" I inquired with a smirk after startling her with the lights I turned on. Although her face was masked, I could tell she was in so much shock because her body movement sold her out completely. For a split second, she seemed like she was gonna bolt but she leapt forward towards me instead with her knife. Such Bravery! I watched still in shock from her strangely amusing audacity till she was too close she could actually stab me on the spot if I didn't do something and only then did I make a move that sent her many steps backwards till she crashed down and she lost hold of her knife in the process. She was up on her feet in no time and this time, she pulled out a gun and aimed it at me. One thing I got sure of at that moment was that she wasn't here to play. Although it all felt like I was in a movie, I had to do something unless I actually want to get killed by little killer Barbie. The intruder lady was becoming more and more interesting to me every second that ticked by as I found myself admiring how she struggled for the gun's possession with me although she could never have an upper hand over Antonio Moretti. Not even in a million years. The gun was soon away from her as expected and far beneath the table then we both stood there with her hands firmly held in mine as she struggled in vain to set herself free. She then carried out an unforgivable move by kicking me right in the groin area. It's a good thing she missed but still, The attempt alone is unforgivable. I forced her down on the chair and only then did I hear her speak. "Hey! Let me go!" She demanded whilst struggling as I held her down in place. "With just a snap of my fingers, you'll be surrounded by eighty five of my men and you're all by yourself, It'll be in your best interest to shut the hell up and stay put!" I threatened and it seemed to work because she stayed put for a while and I suddenly itched to see the face of my culprit. I snatched off her mask the very next second and what appeared before me was Soo not what I had expected to see. She happens to be an exact definition of pretty with her thick dark hair that cascaded down both side of her rosy cheeks as I found myself staring into her dark hazel eyes. Who could she possibly be? Could she be a member of the southern raiders here to kill me and set Luca free? The thoughts alone annoyed me but she didn't give me time to come up with other possible opinions as she got off the chair somehow and headed towards the very same floor length window she came in through. The next moment had the brat chained to the steel chair after trying to escape like I would let her do that. She tried real hard to break free from her chains while I stood behind silently studying her. What to do with her? I had no idea but one thing I was sure of was that I didn't wanna harm her for reasons I don't quite have an idea about. There's something off about the whole situation I'll have to discover first before I make any decision. After one last look at her, I switched off the light and crashed back down on my bed because no matter how hard she tried, there's no possible way she could break free from those chains. "Hey! You can't just leave me here! Untie me right now!" She demanded. She doesn't get it does she? No one makes demands from me. "You're in my house, I call the shots here" I informed her just incase that fact wasn't obvious enough to her. "Next time, before you act all sneaky and come into my house trying to kill me with a stupid knife, you think real hard about it" I added suddenly finding the whole knife thing extremely stupid. Did she really see me as one she could come at with a knife? How downgrading. "I'm so gonna kill you, you just wait." She replied and I smirked but she couldn't possibly see that because the lights were out. "I'll love to see you try" came my response and I laid back properly just to have a recap of all that's happened just in the space of less than an hour from the thing about Luca to the tied up beauty right here in my room whom I know absolutely nothing about yet. "If you're gonna kill me, you should do that now else you'll be making a very big mistake" she replied again and I had just enough. I was trying to think and her continuous talking isn't gonna work for me. I stood up, turned on the lights and headed straight for my drawer where I was certain I had some tape. I cut out a piece of it and slammed it across her mouth nonchalantly. "Shut up" I ordered and glided back to my bed. I preferred her when she was trying to kill me to this talkative version of herself. I laid in bed and this time, it was as silent as I wanted it as I could now hear the trees sway in the background and silent whispers from my men on guard. I took one last look at my prisoner and this time she was still. Just Who is she?
