Chapter 6

Alice's Point Of View.

My whole body stiffened when I saw him, it was as if I forgot to breathe because of the fear I was feeling.

Speak, Alice! I need to speak!

"I-I was looking for the restroom," I tried not to sound nervous in my voice.

He kept looking at me coldly. "Really? If you're planning something else, don't pursue it because you might end up being seen killed," he said in a baritone while looking into my eyes.

Why does he always threaten my life? He suddenly pointed to the black door in front of us. 

"That's the restroom and not outside the restaurant. Hurry up to the restroom and if you don't come back soon I'll punish you," he added and quickly left in front of me. When he completely disappeared from my sight, I was clinging to the wall because my knees were weak due to fear.

"Why is he always scaring me?" I whispered annoyed as I walked towards the door he pointed to and called the restroom.

If he hadn't followed me I'm sure I would have reported him to the police that he was a Mafia Boss! And I hope I will be free and not suffer anymore.

I looked at my reflection in the mirror while washing my hands, many people say that I don't look like my siblings. Even Mom and Dad don't look like me, I once thought I might be an adopted child but I know that's impossible. Things have been going very fast in my life lately, before I was always locked in my room and now I'm married and living in England.

I wish my husband had been a good man! I will probably be happy.

Before he could kill me completely, I quickly left the restroom and returned to our table. I caught up with them still talking, I was just far away when Valerian's cold eyes landed on mine. I just avoided it because I was still afraid of what happened, I quickly sat next to him.

Sir Emmanuel looked at me and smiled at me.

"Oh your wife is already here, Valerian," said the old man. "I still can't believe that you are married already, it seems like before many women were chasing you and you were just playing with them," he added and laughed.

I tried to smile, wow. A Mafia Boss who's a player?

"Many women are still after me," I heard Valerian answer. "But of course I don't entertain them because I already have a beautiful wife," he added and looked at me causing me to look away.

Beautiful wife your face! You want to kill me, idiot!

Sir Emmanuel laughed loudly before looking at me. "You should really take care of your husband, Alice. He's really handsome so it's no wonder why many women like him," said the old man.

I smiled. "Of course, Sir Emmanuel. What's mine is going to be only mine," I murmured and tried not to show that I disagreed with what I said. 

I wonder if the girls who like him know that he is a Mafia Boss, because who would want to like someone like him?

They talked for a few more minutes and I did nothing but pretend to be Valerian's good wife. I just speak whenever they talk to me, I don't know if Sir Emmanuel also knows that Valerian is a Mafia Boss. 

When Valerian and I were going home I felt scared again, I kept my eyes on the window, I didn't want to look ahead because I was afraid of his presence. It's good that the buildings I see from the window are beautiful, I'll admit it's really nice to live here in England but if you're with a dangerous person then it's not so good.

"I'm not stupid enough not to know that you go outside the restaurant for those useless policemen. . ."

I bit my tongue in shocked because of what he said, I also felt the coldness of my hands that were just in my lap. I almost forgot to breathe.

I'm in the back seat but I feel like at any moment he can kill me where I'm sitting now.

"Try to repeat what you did, you already know what will happen to you," I heard him add and I kept my eyes on the window.

"Why do you always threaten to kill me?" my hands were shaking while I was talking. Nothing else came out of his mouth but he wanted to kill me. "If you really want to kill me, why don't you just do it now? I have no idea what you're saying that my family killed your girlfriend. Maybe you're mistaken and another family killed your girlfriend because—"

"Fuck!" I stopped talking when he suddenly shouted and then I heard a gunshot. He looked at me. "Hey, do you know how to drive?!" he shouted angrily at me and I nodded quickly.

He stopped driving and he told me that I will be the one to drive, I'm confused but I moved to the passenger seat while he moved to the back seat. I was surprised when he pulled out a gun, I was about to speak but he spoke first.

"Drive, woman! Drive faster!" he yelled at me and I turned on the engine of his car and kept my eyes on the road while driving. 

I heard gunshots one after another so my hands were shaking while holding the steering wheel. I looked in the side mirror and saw three cars following us and firing guns.

What the fuck is happening?!

"Oh my gosh!" I shouted when the side mirror was hit by a bullet, tears started to fall in my eyes because of the fear of the sound of the gun.

"Stop shouting, idiot! Focus on driving this damn car!" I heard him shout.

I saw Valerian open the backseat window and take out half of his body and start shooting those who are shooting us. I just focused on driving, I think I had been driving for half an hour when I heard no more gunshots.

I looked at Valerian for a moment and I was shocked to see that he had his eyes closed and his chest was bleeding and he was still holding his gun. I quickly turned off the car engine.

"Valerian, are you okay?! You got shot!" I shouted at him and rushed closer.
