chapter 4 : Beautiful

Layla's point of view :

Taking the glass of water I sighed . I wish I could stop this marriage but failed . I couldn't do anything but witnessed that wedding, more like the starting of disaster.

Felix , he is dangerous . He killed his ex girlfriend or fiancé. I don't know who was she . And he also tried to kill me . I don't know what he will do if he-

"Hey there , beautiful? Done with that?" My thoughts got interrupted when one of  the guy called me.   He pointed at the glass which I was holding.

Wiping my mouth I gave the glass back and he took it .

"Beautiful huh , Theo??" The guy with Short red hair said  as he sat beside the guy who offered me water . Theo was his name .

"She is beautiful, don't you have eyes Brian? " Theo , the guy with long hair said while he laughed, to the red hair guy aka Brian .

"I do have that but I like to admire things more than complementing, right Tim?"

The guy was wearing a leather jacket looked at them but he remain quiet.  He pulled out a cigar and his lighter out.

"What's your name ?"

"La-Layla Davis"

"Is that true that you stole the bride's necklace?"

"N-no  , I didn't.I-

"So who were they beautiful?" It was the short guy with red hair said , who's name was Brian . Why do I keep forgetting his name .

"They.. they are men of my friend's husband. He wants me dead , he wants to kill me"

The cigar was pulled out from the lips of the guy with jet black hair , as he blew out all the smoke . He pushed the butt of cigar on the ground after stepping on his feet , crushing it.

*Author's POV*

The guy walked in front of her and sat in front , balancing on both of his feet but not putting the butt on ground , and on the opposite the girl pulled her knees to the chest in protective manner , looking at the guy who's arms and fingers  are fully covered with tattoos .

"What's his name?" That's all he asked looking at her.

"Felix Miller"

"Felix... Miller" the name rolled at his tounge without knowing that it sound so seductive but for her , it sounded like a death alarm .

"Brian , you know what you have to do right?"

"Am on it Tim" Brian said while opening his laptop .

"I beg you , please , please help me . Please take me back to Seattle . I'm stuck here , I don't have my passport , I can't go back on my own . He will kill me , please?!" Tim's eyes met her pleading one

Well , Brian is their hacker and gets all the information for Tim, his boss and also his childhood friend .

Brian's dad used to work for Tim's Dad and that's how they became friends . Theo is one of Tim's weapon specialist and does go with him in assignments .

Right now their only mission is to back in Seattle . Well , they used to live in Milan but few months back he decided to shift in Seattle as he can't breathe with his old man in the same house .

He needs to protect someone , whom he loves with all his Life . He won't hesitate too kill someone to save or give his life to protect that precious innocent Soul . Also his responsibility , he can't forget that . He is as precious as his own child .

"Let's leave this place guys , get the bike"

"Are we taking her or-

"In your bike Theo , Not mine"  Timothy taking helmet from the dirty drum in the back .

"Listen I'm not sitting in the back , I wanna ride this time" Brian said placing his laptop in the backpack

"Oh shut up you midget , don't talk" on Tim's reply Brian could only pout.

Theo and Tim Both started the bike and Brian n with fuming face sat behind Timothy. Layla fidgets her hand but Ended up sitting behind Theo . Tim eyed both of them Before riding to their destination with Theo following the bike .

"Hold me tight beautiful , if yoh don't wanna ruin your pretty face ." She gulped but held his shoulder with shaky hands when he speed up .

.

"It's impossible Tim, she doesn't have a passport" Vernon said while he dialing a number .

"There must be a way Vernon , Felix Miller is after her , if we get her with us then maybe we will know whom he works for?" Theo said

"You guys are taking your 'stuffs' . The security is tight in dock area but still I'm taking the risk . But a human? You must be kidding we can't arrange a passport in such short amount of time . Besides you guys need to leave tonight ."

"There must be a way, help us you asshole"  Brian snapped

"Oh shut up you-

"stop cursing at each other , if there is a way then say it " Tim yelled at them.

"There is , but your boss won't like it"

"say it "

"You need to marry her , Tim"

Tim paused for a second and then burst out in laugh . This wasn't a real laugh but a mocking one cause clearly for him, Vernon actually lost it .

"What are u laughing at?"

"Why do take your weed at this moment huh? Don't do this shit so randomly , I've stuff to do"

"You think I'm joking?"

"Oh no no you're not , you have actually lost it " Tim said banging his hand on the table .

Georgia , Vernon's daughter flinched waking up from slumber and started crying at this . But her father took her in his arms . Swayed her to calm down . She is already sleepy after the dinner so she slept quickly .

"Tell me you just joked about it" Tim said looking the same furious .

"You're maybe the head Mafia Tim but I give two shit when someone makes my daughter cry . Don't jump on the conclusion before hearing the full Story"

"Well then , tell me ? I'm waiting ?" Tim said sarcastically sighed loudly  and  did calm a bit cause it's not the right time to let his anger out .

"Tim , listen carefully . She doesn't have a passport and you don't have any proof that she is a citizen of America . We need to attach her passport with someone.  Because she is an adult we can't show that she is with her parent but we can portray that you are her husband and you're going to States , back from your honeymoon . You guys will have legal papers of marriage and cause she is your legal wife there is no way the security will think it's fake . You will say you guys got robbed and she lost her passport . it would be much easier for the security to explain why you are going via ship , not flight . Think about it , your stuffs will be safe too. With a women beside you , no one will get suspicious."

"But why me , why not Theo or  Brian ? Theo is showing interest in her already , I think he will marry her too" Tim said looking at Theo , while Theo gulping nervously.

"Yo bro, ease there. I never said I'll marry her. I mean she is cute , beautiful actually . But Marriage is not my thing , I can date her if you want me to but Marriage? Hell , I don't even date nowdays and you want me to get married ? Not happening , why don't you tell Brian?"

"Me ? Are you crazy? I dont look her like that , she doesn't excites me ." Broan said

"None of the women excites me . I don't wanna date or get married . Why are you asking me specifically?" Tim said

" Cause you already have 2 passports attached with yours . It would be much easier to show her and them as your family . Think about it Tim . If you want to save her then sign on the paperwork or leave her here but I can't promise to sent her back ."

The pindrop silence was heard as Vernon took his daughter to her room . But he came back after few minutes .

"After sending you guys , I need to leave this place too . As you know , they will come after me searching for you . I can't guarantee what will happen to her . So do take your decision wisely . I told my wife to talk to her about this too"

As soon as Vernon left the room Tim kicked the table nearby . His hand resting on his waist , he looked down and exhale sharply .

Pinching the bridge of nose , he looked at Theo who also glanced at him at the same time .

"You're the one who held her hand , she was about to leave Right? Now that she is with you , we can't leave her like that"

Tim turned and walked  towards the door where she was  . He saw her sitting on the edge of the bed . She already changed into pink jacket, tank top and jeans , hair in a ponytail.

Quinta , Vernon's wife stood up when she saw him . For some reason She always seems afraid of him whenever he comes . Well of course , she knows who he is. 

"I need to talk to her .... Alone"

Quinta nodded and left the room . Layla looked at the girl leaving the room but when she shuts the door her gaze was back to Tim . She knows who is he , like actually what is he , what he does and what's his real job . But she kept quite . She needs to get back home and that's her First priority .

Layla's eyes were fixed on him . She can't deny he is indeed good looking . Bamby eyes , sharp jaw , tan skin . The highlight of his face was the mole under his lower lip.

Oh god , when I became this much pervert ! Did i started looking at him like that cause Quinta told me that I have to-

"You asked for my help , you asked me to do a favor.  To get back to Seattle . But now , do you know what I have to do ?-

"I know , Quinta told me " she said and looked down  . Without letting him finish , while he was emphasizing each and every words .

"Oh ! so now you have the bloody audacity to cut off while I'm speaking huh?" His blood shot gaze fell on her so  she kept on looking down .

"I didn't cut you off. I thought you were asking me"

"Oh yeah ? Then tell me what's you opinion about this? Cause I'm really eager to know that"

"I... I wanna go back home . At any cost "

"Even after knowing what's going to happened?" He raised his eyebrows.

"Yes "

"You're clueless women . You didn't even know who are you talking to or who you want to get married in order to save yourself" Tim turned on his heels to exit but stopped when he heard her saying-

"You're Timothy Salvatore. You're from Milan and you recently shifted in Seattle . You were here to take back your robbed shipment of guns . And now you're getting it back to US ."

Timothy looked back , he would be lying if he said he wasn't taken aback or he was not shocked . Indeed he was . Like How does she knows all these? 

He took his steps in front of her and looked at her eyes . She got scared. Like c'mon , it was standing the Italian Mafia prince who is in front of her and he doesn't look like he is in good mood . Not after when she said all these things .

He walked and stopped in front of her .

"Who are you?"

"I had told you . My name is Layla Davis"

"Stop f**king with me and tell me who you are? How do you these , did quinta told you that?" Layla shook her head in negative.

"Believe me Timothy , I'm no harm to you or your mission . You will know who I'm . I didn't lied anything to you . Yes Felix Miller is after me , if he get me I don't know whether he will kill me or torture me till death . But I swear , I need help right now . Please  , you can tell quinta to double check me . I don't have anything . I can't tell you who really I'm but you will get to know once we arrive at Seattle. Please believe me for once."

Before he could say anything they both heard a knock .

"Tim, we are getting late. Hurry up " it was Brian.

Despite of suspecting the  girl, the Mafia decided to listen to his instincts . He knew she was not some ordinary citizen . She is much more . But Right now it's a plus point to have a girl beside him to arrive in Seattle . So he did what Vernon told him . Maybe back in  homeland , time will bring all the answers that he is searching for.
