Save me from my girlfriend's Mafia Father

Adrian’s POV

The music was too loud. I stood near the balcony door, holding a glass of juice I hadn’t touched. People moved around me in expensive clothes. Laughter filled the room, Glasses clinked and Slow music played in the room. I felt like I didn’t belong here. My fingers tightened slightly around the glass.

A soft voice spoke beside me “You look like someone dragged you here against your will.”

I turned and saw my girlfriend Isabella and a soft smile appeared on my face. Isabella stood there in a red dress. Her long dark hair fell over one shoulder. She looked beautiful, like always.

I smiled faintly and said “You did drag me here.”

She rolled her eyes and lightly punched my arm “Oh please. You should be thankful. This party is full of important people.”

I glanced around again and noticed all the men were wearing suits and women wearing diamonds. And Guards stood near the doors.

My shoulders stiffened a little and said“Your family really likes big parties.”

Isabella smirked and said “You have no idea.”

She grabbed my wrist suddenly and said “Come on. I want to introduce you to some people.”

I let her pull me through the crowd. My steps were careful and nodded politely to strangers. Most of them looked at me with curiosity but some with quiet judgment. Rich people don't like to associate with ordinary people. So I ignored them.

Isabella finally stopped near a long table filled with drinks. 

She leaned against it and looked at me with a playful smile and said “You’re nervous.”

I shook my head “No. I am just not used to this.”

Her eyes studied my simple black suit and said “You clean up well though.”

I smiled quitly and murmured “Thanks.”

She leaned closer and said with her cheerful voice “You know what’s funny?”

 I love her smile. I touched her hair and smiled back and asked “What?”

She replied with a sigh “My father hates parties like this too.”

I raised an eyebrow and asked “Then why have one?”

Do rich people love to waste money like that? My future father in law threw this lavish party and he didn’t even like this kind of party? And not to mention I didn’t see him at the party either.

Isabella shrugged and said “Business, Image and Power.”

I nodded slowly and said “Your father must be a very important person then.”

A smirk appeared on her face and she said with a teasing tone “You could say that.”

Before I could ask more, the music slowly faded. The room grew quieter. People turned toward the grand staircase. I followed their gaze.

Before I could see anyone , I heard heavy footsteps echoing. Then a man walked down the stairs. He was tall and had broad shoulders. And wore black suit. The air in the room changed. People moved aside without being asked.

I frowned slightly and asked “Who is that?”

Isabella’s smile widened and she said with a proud voice “My father.”

 My eyes widened with shock. How could he be her father? This person looked so young . If Isabella didn’t tell me that he was her father, I would have thought he was her older brother.

The man reached the bottom of the stairs and his sharp cold black eyes scanned the room once.

I felt something tighten in my chest.

The man looked toward Isabella briefly and then his gaze fell onto me. Our eyes met. For a moment the entire room felt silent. I straightened my posture. The man walked closer. His each step is slow and controlled.

Isabella waved happily and said with a loud voice “Dad!”

He stopped in front of us. Up close, he looked even more intimidating. He has a sharp jaw and dark hair with a few silver strands. Eyes that looked like they could see through people.

Isabella grabbed my hand and introduced me to her father “Dad, this is my boyfriend.”

I felt the man’s eyes settle on me with a Judging gaze.

I extended my hand politely and said “Nice to meet you, sir.”

The man did not shake it immediately. His eyes stayed on my face for some time. I didn’t pull my hand back. After a long moment, the man finally took it.

His grip was firm and said with a cold voice “Victor Falcone.”

After hearing his cold voice a shiver ran through my spine but I controlled my emotion and nodded respectfully and said “Adrian Vale.”

He released his hand slowly and eyes moved over my shoe, suit and face. But I stood still.

Isabella leaned against her father’s arm and said with excited voice “Adrian is studying finance. He’s really smart.”

Victor didn’t respond. He just looked at me again.

Then he asked quietly “How long have you been dating my daughter?”

I looked at him sincerely and answered honestly, “Eight months.”

Victor tilted his head slightly and murmured “Eight months.”

His voice sounded thoughtful but his eyes were not warm.

I kept my tone polite and said “Yes, sir.”

Silence stretched between us.

Isabella sighed dramatically and complained “Dad, don’t start.”

He ignored her but eyes stayed on me and said with his cold voice “You seem calm.”

I blinked once and said “I try to be.”

A faint smile touched Victor’s lips but it did not reach his eyes and he murmured “Interesting.”

Isabella groaned to her father “Dad.”

He finally looked at her and said “Enjoy your party.”

Then he looked at me one more time and said with his cold voice “We will speak later.”

Hearing his cold voice a small chill ran through me but I nodded politely and said “Of course.”

My future father in law turned and walked away. And the crowd slowly returned to normal.

Isabella sighed loudly and said “He’s always like that.”

I watched the man disappear into the crowd and couldn't help but say “Your father”

 I paused. I didn’t know how to say it without being rude but I continued “ he is intimidating.”

Looking at my awkward face she laughed and said “You have no idea.”

I looked down at my hand and I could still feel the strength of that handshake and the weight of his stare. Something told me that the meeting was not finished. Not even close.

Third Person’s POV

Across the room, Victor stopped walking. He didn’t like the boy. Something about the boy is suspicous. As a mafia king of city A he has lots of enemies. They knew that his daughter was his weakness. He always sends bodyguards to protect his daughter but she doesn’t like it and protests against it .So,for her happiness he stopped sending bodyguards to her but he makes sure the college's security is good. But now this boyfriend of hers doesn’t look like a decent person. 

He narrowed his eyes and thought “ Does someone from my enemy send him to my daughter?”

He clinched his fist. If that’s the case he will make sure that person will ask for mercy.

He turned slightly toward a man beside him and called “Luca.”

His right hand man answered obediently “Yes, boss?”

Victor’s eyes returned to that young boy and he commanded “Find everything about that boy.”

Luca nodded and left from there. 

Victor stared at the young man who stood beside her daughter and an evil smirk appeared on his face and he murmured “This will be interesting”.
