Eres Mía

Lucía POV

As I drove on, the beautiful sights of Italy flashed past our windows.

In the backseat of the Bugatti, Antonio and Javier sat gagged and tied up.

I pulled over to the side of the road and removed their gags. They both coughed and Antonio started talking.

"Lucía, what are you trying to do? If you want to know why Enzo kidnapped you, we'll tell you."

"Stop talking and both of you get out the car." I replied.

"Or what?" Javier shot back.

I sighed, then pulled out an arrow. I put the tip on Javier's Adam's Apple.

"Get out the car."

I ripped the ropes that bounded both their arms with the arrow and then unlocked the back doors.

They stepped out of their doors, and I met them on the side.

"So by now you both know who I am. And I need to know something." I began.

"What do you mean 'we know who you are?' We don't."

"For fuck's sake. Do neither of you know?"

Javier and Antonio shook their heads. Ignoring the fact, I moved on.

"What is the plan with me? What does Enzo want from me?"

"He isn't the least bit concerned of you. He's trying to find someone."

I gestured at Antonio to elaborate but Javier stepped in for him.

"There's this new assassin on the block.
They call them El Fénix. We don't know anything about this person, but they ruined one of our drug deals in the US."

With no hesatation, Antonio swiftly kicked Javier  in the back of his leg.

"Ow!! vaffanculo, Antonio."
[translation: go fuck yourself]

"You've told her too much. She isn't meant to know any of this."

A loud buzzing interrupted Javier's scolding. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. I reached for my dagger and held it to his throat.

I held out my hand and he passed me the buzzing device.

"Javier's phone, who's calling?"

"Lucía, where's Javier?!"

"Enzo! It's nice to hear your voice, how are you?"

"Lucía." he growled out.

"Fine, no need to be so mean."

I handed Javier the phone and they started talking in Italian.  Antonio looked at me then glanced at the dagger that was still against his friend's neck.

I pulled it away and he visibly relaxed.

"Enzo needs us back. What were you talking about that we were meant to know?"

"I thought you two knew about my parents," I lied, "And as much as I would like to take you back I can't."

Antonio stole my move and gestured for me to elaborate. Jackass.

"You two can take the Bugatti back but i'm not coming. You can't make me."

Antonio stepped toward me and outstretched his arms. Bad move.

I pulled out my dagger again and pointed it at him.

"Absolutely not."

He stepped back, his hands held up in surrender.

As they tried to convince me that Enzo would have a search party looking for me, a black Lamborghini halted behind the Bugatti.

I whipped out my handgun as the door opened. Enzo.

"Did u give her a handgun?"

He looked at both Antonio and Javier.

They shook their heads no.

He sighed at us three and I flashed him my cockiest smile. I holstered my gun before he could take it from me.

No one could ever touch Nicki.

We spilt into duos and got in the cars.

Enzo and I went to the Lamborghini and he sat in the driver's seat.

He patted his pockets for the keys but couldn't find them.

I looked out the window, the car keys spinning around my finger and a smug smile plastered across my face.

Enzo opened his mouth to say something, but instead he got out the car , walked to my side then opened the door.

I stepped out, my smile not fading, and went to sit in the driver's seat.

Once we were both seated, I started the car and the engine purred loudly. It was blissful listening to the engine.

Enzo glanced my way, then chuckled.

"Before I say anything, how many weapons do you have on you right now?"

"I don't have any." I lied again.

He hummed, then kept his eyes on the road as i drove back to the house.

When we got to the house, he finally broke the silence and asked me the question i was glad to answer.

"How-"

"How did u get Antonio and Javier to listen to you? Easy. I held a gun to their heads and told them I would kill them both with one bullet."

"They wouldn't-"

"Give into that? I know. They didn't. I had to threaten them more."

"How-"

"Do you know everything I'm going to ask you? You ask too many questions, and curiosity killed the cat."

He sighed then walked into the house where a dozen men stood in front of us both.

Enzo frowned. The sight of the gang wasn't as pleasing as I thought.

"We found these two waiting in the living room watching the Italian News."

They manhandled a couple by the shoulders and shoved the two people in front of them.

"Enzo, don't your people know how to treat VIPs?" the man said.

"Mr and Mrs Cortez, it's lovely to see you both."

Cortez. The Cortez Mafia. Mom and Dad.
