VALENTINO
~~~~~~~~~~♧♧♧♧♧♧"Maybe Matteo's daughter isn't just a little princess after all," Fiore said coming up beside me with a champagne in his hand."Ravenna? What did she do?" I asked.
"Threatened to kill Bradshaw. She's got some darkness in her, too. You both would be perfect soulmates with the fucked up minds you have."
He laughed at his own joke before sauntering off.
Ten years away had changed her after all. I dropped my glass on a table before going down the hallway Fiore had just come out of.
I slowly opened the door which the meeting had been held in, but she wasn't inside. I was just about to turn around when a shadow caught my eye.
Quietly, I moved closer, and she looked to be asleep. Quite stupid of her. Who sleeps in a building full of people who would rejoice over your demise?
Before I could take a step closer, her gun w

RAVENNA~~~~~~~~~♤♤♤♤♤"Anna has returned home. So, we're down to only me guarding you," Zypher informed as she walked into the kitchen the next morning."We need to gather information on who must have done this. I don't know why, but I have a strange feeling that it's Bradshaw," I said, pushing my breakfast to the side.I had already lost my appetite just thinking about the events of the night before."That doesn't mean we can rule out the other members. No one wants you to rule. It's not only Bradshaw. He's just the most vocal of them all." Zypher brought a file down in front of me. "It contains all the things you need to know about all nine of them."I flipped it open, taking in the sight of Fiore Berlusconi.Age: 56 years old Children: Ciro and Valentino BerlusconiOccupation: Arms dealing, drugs dealing, human..."What the fuck?" I roared. "
VALENTINO ~~~~~~~~~~♧♧♧♧♧♧"You look pissed. What's up?" Ciro asked as I threw open the door to my office in one of our main clubs. "I've been waiting for you for ages." "I didn't get the much needed rest I was hoping for. Instead, Ravenna had to go organize a stupid meeting." "What was it all about?" He asked, looking up from the coffee table he had just massacred with his knife. "She's trying to stop the skins trade." Ciro cocked up a brow in surprise. I had been equally surprised when I had heard her at the meeting. "Well, it's good, right? You never did like this shit to begin with," Ciro said with a questioning look on his face as if asking what I thought on the situation. When Fiore had first brought up the idea, we had tried to stop him, but he had been adamant. After he carried through with it, we had threatened to leave the organ
RAVENNA~~~~~~~~~♤♤♤♤♤"You're a slave driver. I'm beginning to rethink having you as my trainer," I cried as I picked myself up from the floor of the ring placed in the center of the gym for the hundredth time. Three hours had probably passed since we started training. I wasn't really keeping track on the time, but what seemed like ages ago, Nana had come in to offer us some breakfast which we had declined. My body hurt all over. I wasn't really getting much training in. Instead I had been getting my ass kicked by Zypher. "Don't be a pussy and chicken out. Push yourself. C'mon." "This whole entire training has only been fun for one person, and that's you." "C'mon. Keep your attention trained on me." I did as she said, keeping my eyes trained on her. Maybe it was from the endless ass kicking that allowed me to master her moves, but I saw the punch coming. I quickly deflected it, landing two suc
VALENTINO ~~~~~~~~♧♧♧♧♧♧"Tino. You came," Fiore said with a smile as I walked into his living room. It had been long since I had been here, and I was itching to get back home. This house held no happy memories for me. I was surprised to find Roberto Accardi in the living room, sipping from his glass of whiskey. Since when did they become buddies that shared drinks at each other's houses? Then again, I didn't know every single person he gotten acquainted with. I had made sure to keep my nose away from anything that concerned Fiore. "You called for me," I said with a raised brow. "Sit. I was just telling Roberto that I'm stepping down, and you'll be the one to take my place in the organization," Fiore said with a huge smile. Something smelled fishy around here. Why wait to step down until Ravenna got back? He was healthy. Actually, he didn
ZYPHER ~~~~~~~♡♡♡♡♡I blinked, slowly opening my eyes. I immediately regretted that when the rays of sunlight streamed directly into my eyes. Where the fuck was I? I looked around the unfamiliar room trying to piece the events of the day before. I had come with Ravenna to the house where most of the men stayed and then a meeting had been held, the men had insisted on a party, and for some reason I had joined them. I wondered what mother would have said had she seen me like this. The room had two doors aside the one that led out the room, and I opened the first one which I found out to be a closet. I concluded that the other one was a bathroom so twisted the knob, opening the door. "Oh, my God. I'm so sorry. I didn't know you were in here." I quickly fled the bathroom, closing the door behind me. I had just walked i
VALENTINO ~~~~~~~~~~ ♧♧♧♧♧♧♧ “What you doing?” Ciro asked immediately I picked his call. His voice sounded solemn, which was unlike him at all. I rolled my eyes, even though he couldn’t see me. “The fuck would I be doing by this time? I’m at home.” “Ravenna’s gone.” “What do you mean, gone?” I asked as I shoved some cereal into my mouth. “I mean, she’s gone. Someone took her. Her men her busy looking for her. They came over to the club to ask for her whereabouts,” he replied. “What?! How the fuck did that happen?” I completely forgot my breakfast as I headed for my bed
RAVENNA~~~~~~♤♤♤♤♤♤I drifted awake as I was placed on a soft bed. “Go back to sleep,” Valentino ordered as I tried to sit up on the bed. I shook my head. Recalling the day’s events had wiped the sleep away from my eyes. “I’m not fucking around here,” he said sternly. “Go back to sleep. You’ve had a long day. When you wake up we can talk about everything.” “I said no. I’m not going back to sleep.” He pinched the bridge of his nose. “So help me God, Ravenna. If you don’t go back to sleep, I’ll tie you to this bed. Don’t test me,” he said before walking out of the room and locking the door. Asshole. I flopped down on the bed, looking up at the ceiling. It tempted me to go to that door and pound on it until he opened the door, but I knew it was of no use. Might as well force myself back to sleep. *********“Hey, I slept, and I showered. You can open the door now,” I shouted, hoping
RAVENNA~~~~~~♤♤♤♤♤“Thanks for the offer, but I’ll manage just fine from here. You’ve done enough,” I said when Valentino had opted to take me to my house. “You helped me put a call through to Nana, so Zypher will come pick me up.”“I’ll wait here with you. When she comes to pick you, I’ll get going. The people that kidnapped you could easily do it again.”One of the rare times he was actually a decent human being. It was sweet and surprising at the same time.“Thank you. You didn’t have to help me today, and yet, you did.”He shrugged it off. “I just happened to be there. No big deal.”“Stop lying and just accept my words of gratitude. My ride is here.”I moved to swing open my door, but he placed his hand on my thigh, stopping me. I turned my head around only to have my face almost shoved into Valent
