Eres Mía

~ 6 ~

TW: abuse

"Lucía, come on. This is your life now. You can't run from it."  he said.

Dad.

" I don't want to live here anymore. I'm sick and tired of the pain. He doesn't even love me!" I cried, choking out sobs.

I could see Mom standing behind him.
She couldn't control him; no one could.

A flash of light caught my eye and when i turned to face it, i saw a gleaming knife in the hands of my father.

"D-Dad?" I said, my eyes widening as he stepped closer to me. He looked murderous.

He raised the knife...

I shot up. No one was in my room.

I sighed to myself and pulled the covers over my shoulders.

Moments of my teen years had been replaying as dreams since my kidnapping.

The "he" who didn't love me was my ex boyfriend Dallas.

He treated me like shit and i could never forgive him.

A loud buzzing noise interrupted the thoughts of my horrible past. The burner.

I had bought a burner phone for work and i wasn't expecting any messages. 

Even though Enzo searched me and took my clothes after replacing my old ones, he didn't realise I had it.

I kept it hidden in my bra at all times; no one would think to check there.

I opened the message and read it in my head.

Unknown: I have a job for you. Date: 12.5.19.
Location: Downtown Brooklyn at 11pm.
Can u do it?

I thought about it. I couldn't. I wouldn't be out of Italy any time soon. Frustrated, i replied to the number.

You: Negative.

Unknown: Bullshit. Why not?

You: Rule No.1- when working with El Fénix, you don't ask questions.

After a few minutes, no reply came. Feeling pleased, I fell back asleep until morning came.

Enzo POV
8:00 AM
When I walked into the meeting room, all my men were there. The capos, the soldiers but Javier and Antonio were nowhere to be seen.

Ignoring their absence, I asked my men for an update on our latest issue.

"How close are we to finding this assassin?" I questioned.

Oliver spoke up.

"We have nothing boss. There is no physical evidence of El Fénix even existing. But we all believe you boss."

"This assassin has ruined some of our drug operations. just remember if we don't find those drugs, that's €1000 and a trustworthy relationship gone."

All the men in the room started murmuring between them.

"Gentlemen please. You have to understand that this money is quite important to us. This is our one shot at getting Hernandez to trust us all.
With Hernandez on my case and Ramirez five seconds from ending our empire, we need this deal to go through."
Capito?"
translation: Got it?]

"Si Capo."
[translation: yes boss]

"Abbiamo finito." I said, dismissing them all.
[translation: we're finished]

The men all left and I went to find Lucía. 

When I reached her room, the door was slightly opened.

I grabbed my gun from my holster and cocked it.
I went in slowly but Lucía wasn't there.

"Lucía?" I called.

No answer.

On the bedside table, I saw a note.

In legible handwriting, it said:

Borrowed your Bugatti, took Javier and Antonio. Lucía <3

"Filgio di puttana."
[translation: son of a bitch]
