CHAPTER 7

Ava's POV

"You will need this."

Lorenzo's hands moved around my waist, sliding something into my pocket. I felt the hard edge of a card against my hip.

"No—" I pulled the black card from my pocket, trying to hand it back to him.

"Just take it. While I am being nice." His voice was soft, almost gentle.

Hold on a minute.

Did he like what happened last night?

He pulled me closer, his chest pressing against mine. He brushed my lips with his and lingered there. My lips spread into a smile despite myself. I was happy. Happy that I was finally going to see my mother.

Lorenzo pulled away and walked to the window, his back to me. He lit a cigar, the flame from the lighter casting shadows across his face. I could tell something was bothering him. The way his shoulders were tense, the way he stared out at nothing.

Well, what's my business?

"Take all the time you need," he said without turning around.

Tired of me already.

I turned to leave when I overheard the house guard talking to Ell

    Lorenzo’s pov “Lorenzo Valenti!!!, I know you are here.”Bang Screams and cries as the chandelier dropped to the middle of the restaurant. People bent down beneath their tables.I crouched behind a table. As the six men walked up to each table tossing the cloth off each table. I cocked my gun as they got closer. Three tables closer.Bang.I shot the guy. One down five to go. Ow. I picked up a towel and tied it over my arm that was grazed to stop the bleeding.“Over there”, one gestured to the table I was crouching behind, as they drew nearer I aim at each one of them one shot at a time, crouching behind tables and walls as I made my aim. While the restaurant guests kept screaming under tables and chairs.If they really want to kill me. They should have tried harder. Then the sounds of siren wailed from a distance.The last guy ran out of the restaurant. Then there was a gun shot and I got up and walked slowly, stepping on broken plates and cups.I stood by the side of the door,

    I stood there trembling at the television screen. My life had always been so simple but here I am tossed into a world where I am hunted.Two weeks ago, I was just a mere girl doing her three jobs to take care of her mother and home.“The bills are overdue, Ethan I thought you would handle the water bills, while I handle the light bills and food, don’t forget about mum’s piling medical expenses, it’s just isn’t easy and Marco, I threw a glance at him, what happened to your job at the cafe”“I don’t really enjoy it-“I am not talking about the fact that you barely contribute a penny to our bills”“There she goes again nagging”“I am not nagging, you both spend your money on parties and drinks”Ethan rolled his eyes, snatching the bills from my hands, “ all you do is nag bitch”“Language” maria hissed.“Mum, she can just be so overbearing, how much are the bills, what the hell?” Ethan eyes widened.“What’s that? “ I tried to pull the envelope in his hands but he put it behind him.“Non

    “Mom?” My voice barely rose above a whisper.The figure in the wheel chair lifted her head from the book in her laps. My mom’s blue eyes widened in disbelief.“Ava…?”I froze at the sound of her voice. It was soft, trembling, yet it was hers.“Mum…” I stepped forward slowly. My hands clenched into fists at my sides, as if I could steady the days of fear, worry, and loss between us. Maria’s hands shook as she reached for mine, her frail fingers brushing mine. Her eyes glistened with tears.She drew me in for a hug. Her arms felt so warm. The warmth I have been seeking all these days.“I… I thought you were gone… forever.” Her voice broke. “The people… I thought the mafia… I thought…” She shook her head, sobbing quietly.Mafia???“I’m here now, Mum. I’m safe.” My voice caught, and I struggled to hold back my own tears.“thank God you are safe and those bloody gangsters did not come close to you”I pulled her closer, clutching her to my chest. I could feel her heartbeat, weak but alive

    "Sir, we are being followed.""Keep moving according to plan."I quickly typed into my phone: KEEP TAILING THE BLACK CAR BEHIND MINE.I arrived at the airport and sat in the VIP lounge, my eyes fixed on one of my men dressed exactly like me as he boarded the plane. My jaw clenched as I watched him disappear through the gate. I requested an economy seat on the next flight to Italy.Three cars had left my residence this morning. One taking Ava to see her mom, another to the train station, and the last one that brought me here. They were all being tailed.I pulled out my phone and dialed Ava's number. My fingers drummed against my thigh as I waited for her to pick up."Ava, have you gotten to your mom's?""Not yet."My heart dropped into my stomach. I sat up straight, my grip tightening on the phone."What do you mean, not yet?""We are going down south. My mother's hospice was changed."Fucking Sinclair brothers."Alright." I tried to keep my voice steady.I dropped the call and quickly

    "Sir, we have found Syl Calante's hideout.""Bring that son of a bitch to me."I slid on my jacket and left the penthouse, not for the supposed ball.I was going to go with Ava so that Isabella would know how keen I am on getting Valenti Corporation from her.Killing Syl is the most exciting thing that has happened to me, other than getting Ava to sign the contract and kissing her lips.

I raised my gun, cocked it, and placed it on his head.Bang.One down, six more to go. Allies of the DeLucas and debtors too.My men put him in a body bag. "Let this be a warning to everyone who becomes an ally with Enzo DeLuca." My men sent the information to all allies Enzo was putting together.Poor Syl
