Mafia's Princess || ON HOLD

18

A T H E N A  D E  L U C A' s  P O V :

We walk down the stairs to see people dancing and talking with each other... trays of food spread around a long table while waiters went around with trays of drinks in their hands.

I look around to see Ambrose and Axel already talking to people, making me groan silently. "Come on" Felix leads me to the dance floor, his hand going on my back. "Talk" he tells me, switching partners, so I was now with another guy. Making out the features I could, he didn't look much older than me so I smile and his lips turn into a slight smirk. He says something in Russian but when I furrow my eyebrows, he chuckles.

"You're not from around here" he says, spinning my around before securing a hand around my bare back. "What's your name любовь ?"

( Romanization: lyubov'  , Translation: love. )

"Rosa" I say. "Rosa Moslow" bond, James bond. Shut up brain.

Meanwhile, in the car...

C A M E R O N' s P O V :

"Do we tell this to Vincenzo or..." I ask, listening to Athena converse with the guy. "If you wanna die and take us with you...go ahead" Xaviar says, eating whatever shit he brought making me roll my eyes.

"Anything with the other three?"

"I made a really good observation" Xaviar says almost immediately. "And that is?" Liam asks.

"Axel is literally, like I'm not even joking right now, he is literally as cold as Andrew" making us roll our eyes. "And you realize that after how many years... eighteen?" I throw the thing nearest to me, at him. "Dude what the fuck, I'll get a bruise on my handsome face" he rubs his face.

"You said there weren't supposed to be any guns here" I hear Axel say, most likely to me. Liam looks at me and I get on my laptop, trying to hack into the inner cameras. Which was no use as the security was tightened. "They're locking the gates Cameron" I then hear Ambrose's voice.

Fuck.

A T H E N A  D E  L U C A' s  P O V :

He spins me around before it's time to change partners again, this time Ambrose comes out of nowhere. "Anything?" He asks and I shake my head as he spins me around. "There's something going around here" he says and motions towards two guys. I turn my attention there to see the gun shining underneath their suits. "Keep close" he says before we change partners and I somehow end up with the guy from earlier.

"We meet again" his Russian accent right on his tongue. "One more time and I might just think we're meant to be" I smile at him. "Of course we are. Я сделаю то, что не смог мой отец"  he smiles back.

( romanization: YA sdelayu to, chto ne smog moy otets  ,  Translation: I'm going to do what my father couldn't)

"You know I still haven't gotten your name" I speak up. "Dimitri" he says. So no last name? I smile, taking a note mentally.

A guy thinking I have no clue what he's saying in Russian makes him say more.

We switch partners and I end up with Axel, making my breath hitch as his hand touches my bare back. He spins me out before pulling me back in, dancing me out of the dance floor making me furrow my eyebrows in question.

Once we are off the dance floor, he holds my by the waist, walking normally, towards where Felix and Ambrose were.

He lets go of my waist once we're close enough to them. "The guy I was dancing with. He knows us.. or me at least" I tell them and Ambrose pushes Felix from beside me, coming on his place. "I need to find out his last name" I tell them, walking towards the dance floor once again but get pulled back by Axel. "What we have is enough"

"We need to get out of this place" Felix says. "The main gate is locked and the other exits all have guys with guns."

"Great, Ambrose you know how to work with a lock right?" I ask and he nods. "Felix, exchange your watch with him" Just as I say that, shots start going around the ballroom, along with screams of people as the doors don't open.

"Fuck sakes" Axel pulls me behind the food table, ducking me down. "Give me your earring" he says and I remove one of them, handing it to him and take off the other one, keeping it in my hand just in case. I look around to see everyone fighting, the staircase guards gone.

I walk up the stairs, looking around. I walk into the first room to notice it was a bedroom. Quickly going through the bedside tables and the cupboards only to find everything empty.

I do this to three more rooms until I find a study. I walk in, going through the paper's on the desk first. Petrov. Dimitri Petrov.

Just as I stand up straight to go through the drawers, "What are you doing here?" I hear a deep Russian accent and look up to see Dimitri standing there. He stalks towards me slowly, making me inch away a little. He looks at the papers on the table before looking at me. "Now that wasn't good, was it любовь ?"

( Romanization: lyubov'  , Translation: love. )

He eyes land on my necklace and he rips it off my neck, making me hiss out in pain. He throws the necklace on the ground before crushing it with his leg, then doing the same to my earrings. He plants his lips on mine, making the small dagger in my hands itch.

I reply back to the kiss and he loosens his grip, making me stab the dagger into him.

As he gets taken back by the sudden action, I take this as a chance and run out the room, back downstairs.

I walk downstairs to see everyone fighting each other. I pick up a dropped gun and look around, trying to find any of the guys. My eyes land on Ambrose, who was trying to open the lock and notice a guy coming from behind him, making me shoot the guy.

The sudden noice of bullet makes Ambrose turn around and look at me, before he gives me a thumbs up, going back to unlocking the door. I notice Axel snap a guy's neck making me cringe in pain for him.

Just then a shot goes around and I notice Axel look my way, before hurrying towards me.
