The Mafia Boss's Claim (Undergoing Editing,Do Not Read)

~Chapter 32~

Scarlett's POV

When I received that photo my heart jumped out of my chest.My mother,my protector from my father was stuck in the arms of danger exactly where I never wanted her to be.

As far as I know,the man that held my mother at gun point had a tattoo that peeked out from underneath his shirt and stretched onto his hand.It could be a regular tattoo or one gangs and mafias were marked with.The probability of him being a complete nut job and doing the job alone was low,very low.

I looked at the phone again and bit my lip.I knew they wouldn't kill my mother,now.They wanted something from Lucien,and now that I was associated with him,they would obviously go after me and the people near to me.

Just then Lucien burst in my room and looked at me with a hard look.Though,I doubt it was directed at me.

"Give me the phone,"Lucien said and I handed it to him and and walked to the walk-in closet.I reached for my medical kit in one of the drawers.I pulled it out and opened the box.I took out the bullet pads that prevented someone from being shot through an artery or somewhere crucial.

I could make Lucien wear this but he was stubborn and would refuse.I doubted he would even get hit but this man is a big part of my life now and I would die to see something happen to him.It seems like I fall for him everyday more and more.

I grabbed the pads and put one over my chest against my bra and one on my abdomen.I couldn't afford being shot at there if things turned shitty.The poison really did a number on me but I healed up nicely and it was almost like it never happened.I doubt it would feel the same when a wound opened it up.

I threw on a hoodie and denim jeans.

"What are you doing?"I asked Lucien when I saw him typing on my phone.

"We are meeting them tonight at around eight.They want to discuss shit and want me to meet their boss.But I don't think that is quite true.I think this is something way deeper than that.So I will take you to get combat training today and take you to the shooting range.I don't want anything to happen to you while we're there,"he said and cupped my cheeks.

"Lucien they fucked with me when they decided to abduct my mother from the comfort of her own home.I'll be damned if I don't kill atleast one of them,"I said and he leaned down to capture my lips with his.The kiss was short and sweet but gave me comfort more than it should have.

"Let's go,"he said and I nodded and went to the elevator with him.

It was cold outside and I let out a breath and greeted Garret.He nodded his head in greeting and Lucien opened the door of the SUV for me.I climbed in and took a seat.I stared out of the window as we passed by.I could feel Lucien's concerned stare on the back of my head and turned to meet his gaze.

"Lucien I know you're worried but I'm fine.They messed with a fucked up and crazy bitch,"I said and the corner of his lips tugged upwards.

"Good,"is all he said and the car parked infront of a modern looking building.He opened his door and climbed out and I stayed put,knowing he would like to open the door for me.

"I'll take you to the gym first where you will be taught combat and martial arts.After that we'll work on your basic defense skills.Lastly,we'll teach you about firearms and escaping methods if you are abducted again,"he said as he opened the door for me and we stepped out and walked down the extended parking lot.The glass double doors opened as they stepped on the rug that automated the doors to open.

"Princess,this is Fernando.Him and I will help you in the first category which is combat and martial arts,"he gestured towards a buff tanned guy who looked like he could kill you if you so much as glance at him.

"Nice to meet you,"he grunted out and I nodded at him.Lucien had my workout clothes in a duffel beg one of the maids put together for me.Lucien handed me the bag and grabbed my hand and directed us in which I assumed was the changing/locker rooms.

"Get in there before I come in with you and ravish you.Though I don't think the timing is right for that..."he trailed off suggestingly and I gave him an amused smile before shoving him out and getting dressed in a black sports bra and skintight leggings and I tied my hair in a high ponytail.

I heard a knock on the door following by Lucien's demands for her to come out.

"I'm coming!"I yelled through the door and heard someone-which was definitely not Lucien-yell in response.

"That's what she said!"
