"e-emma" my mother breathed out
"yea mum?.." I called back to my mother on the floor
"in the closet, there is a loose floor board...open it" she whispered in my ear
"Listen your not leaving me..." I said holding on to the last peace of hope i hade...
we've ate our food and got back home We walk in and no one's here except nic "the meeting is in 10 minutes" nic says out of no where
"Okay nic" I say walking towards the kitchen and getting a glass of water it's been 10 minutes and me and Dominic decided to walk to the meeting room
we walked in and saw everyone there who would know that 3 power maifa's together in one room
I sit down in a empty chair and Dominic sat next to me, we all just sat in silence "Are we waiting for anyone?" I ask inpatient
"Yeah actually we are waiting for your grandad" my dad said normally "What? My mums dad?" "Yup"
"And you didn't tell me sooner because?" I ask crossing my eyebrows "I only found out today, he found out you came back home and wanted to see you, plus he hates the Russians so he's going to help us" dad said
the suddenly the doors came flying open with a man who looked in his late 40's
"Where's my grandaug-" he paused looking at me "never mind I can spot her from a mile off, she looks just like he mother and grandmother combined" he said with a massive smile
he came closer to me and I stood up I think this is the first time Iv ever seen him before
"My beautiful girl" he whispered and gave me a massive hug "hey grandad" I whisper in his ear what made him squeeze tighter
"look at you, all grown up" he finally let go "trust me she is grown up, she's 'the shadow'" my dad said smiling proudly
" 'the shadow'? wow I did some business with her I never knew it was you?!" A man said walking in I think he is my uncle who I found out his names John
"That's because I was wearing a mask, and you couldn't see my face" I say while another guy walks in but he was much younger
"This is my son" john said "hi I'm Harvey" I looked back and saw holly practically drooling over him but I ignored her and turned back to my grandad
"Awwh very impressive" my granddad says with a smile "just please be careful" he adds on
"Always" I say with a grin "anyways let's get on with this" ace said sitting back down after shaking johns hand
after the meeting me and the girls was walking up stairs until I heard my name be called, I looked back and it was dom
I told kace and hol to wait in my room and I walked towards him "what's up?" I ask he took my hand "follow me"
he lead me to the roof of the mansion and the sun was only just setting so the sky was pink and orange
"oh my god it's beautiful" I saw admiring the sky "I know" Dominic said looking at me but I don't think he was on about the sky
"listen Emma, when I first met you I thought you were the most gorgeous girl I have ever seen, your brave, beautiful, strong and know how to defend yourself which I can't lie I find horribly hot, when you got shot my heart felt like it stopped completely. and them hours of not seeing you I missed you more than I thought I ever would. I still hate your guts but I was wondering if you would want to be my date to the ball? And maybe after we can go for something to eat like a date..." He said looking at me in the eyes
... no one has ever said anything like that to me normally if a guy was asking me out they would just say 'will you go out with me?' Not the whole beautiful part...
I can't lie I have developed feeling for him... but if I pull him close he will be in danger
"why..?" I muttered still shocked "Why what?" "Why me? if you get seen at that ball full of powerful mafias with me then you will be a target.."
"darling my brother is retiring from the Italian mafia because of his heart problem... I am already a target" he said grabbing my hands and pulling me closer to him
he has a point... I look up to him "okay" I say with a smile, he looked back down at me "okay, go get ready" he said with a smile
"Okay" I was about to walk about until he grabbed me and pulled me back into him he placed his finger under my chin to make me look at him
he kissed me on the head and let go and I smiled and walked away, I don't know what's wrong with me I can't stop smiling
I went to my room and saw the girls waiting for me "so what did he want?" kacey asked "oh he was just asking me something" I say walking to my walk in closet and sat at my massive makeup table
the girls came in and sat next to me and we was all doing our makeup and hair "What did he ask?" Holly randomly said
"Oh just to be his date to the ball and that after we should go out for some food like on a date" I say "nothing important really" I quickly add on
"ahhhhhhh!! Nothing important?! your practically dating my brotherrrr" Holly said with a massive smile
"shhhh" I say starting to do my hair "Omg this is huge news" kacey said
"okay you both can shut up kacey you fancy Nathan and holly you were literally drooling over Harvey" I say pointing at them both and they went quiet
I start laughing and they looked at me like I just killed there mums "what?" I ask "we have never seen you laugh before" kacey said smiling
and we all put music on and got ready We finally got ready after an hour
