Vincent's P.O.V
I ran my hand through my hair, gripping it, clearly pissed thinking who has dared to mess with me, with Vincent De Costello.
During the last few weeks, someone in the family dared to give out information about the things we plan to do and definitely I'm no fool to think that it's just a coincidence that the rivals happened to do the things we, beforehand planned.
Just a while ago, Alexander, one of my best friend, confirmed that there is definitely a rat in the house and it's not long before we catch it and since that moment, I can not stop thinking of ways I would make that person suffer from messing with me when every single man in my mafia know all too well that above everything, what I hate the most is betrayal.
I openly admit that I am no saint, yes, I kill people but it's my job. I never wanted to be a part of any of this but I had to since I have no other siblings. I am the only heir.
My father trained me to be a leader since I was a kid, he trained me to never show emotions and always stay tough which in that way no one can ever bring me down.
I was eighteen when I took over my father's mafia, people used to think that I'm just a fool whom they can easily mess with, but I proved them wrong and since then they fear me and I felt that their fear they have satisfies me and the power makes me complete.
After my meeting with my men, there I sat in the car with Alexander and Marco my best friends who both are too busy bickering at each other.
For someone in the mafia they are too childish but not when we are on a mission. Alexander, apart from being my best friend, is also my right-hand man and Marco, his job is to hack or anything related to tracking.
" Let's go to Mario's diner, it's been so long since we went there," Marco suggested, which I hummed in response as I was too tired to argue with him and Alexander who knew all too well that it's useless to decline as we know well that whenever Marco is hungry, his thinking capability automatically shuts down.
Mario's an old friend of my father. During our teenage days, back when my father used to still run the mafia, me and the boys spent most of our time in Mario's diner. He was like a second father to us. I and the boys respected him a lot because to him we're not in a mafia just a normal person.

As soon as we stepped a foot inside the diner, the entire place fell silent. I smirked, clearly enjoying it.
After we sat, I didn't fail to notice the girl coming towards our table.
She's around 5'2, with straight brown hair that reaches her waist.
Upon reaching us, I wasted no time admiring her beauty, how pink and full her lips are, and how her enormous hazel eyes shining luminously that I almost felt that I was getting drawn into them.
I was so busy drinking her beauty when she suddenly spoke. Her voice sounds so serene and angelic, and it feels so calming and addictive that one can listen to her for hours.
I noticed that she's trying really hard to stay calm and sound professional, pretty clear she's afraid of us, and I don't really blame her though.
"I'll get a cheesy burger, a fries, and a coke, please," said Marco, making me snap out my daze.
Just as the little rose was about to write the order, the pen fell out of her hand as it shook violently. As she was about to bend to get the pen, I already picked it up for her as a queen never bows down. I hand the pen to her intentionally brushing my fingertips against her, wanting to feel her skin.
She looks up to me with slightly widening her hazel eyes and I see her cheeks getting red. I smirked at her, knowing I have got an effect on her.
After she got our order, she literally ran away from our table.
"Poor little thing, you scared the shit out of her," Alex said as type away on his phone. But I didn't actually care as I was still in a daze and got one motive in my head that I will make mine soon.

Vincent's P.O.VEver since that day, I could not stop thinking of my little rose, yes, you read it right she's mine, since the moment I laid my eyes on her.I never felt this way before, no other girls but she can make me feel things I've never experienced.It has been exactly two days. I appointed my most trusted men to keep a watch on her, just to make sure she stays safe and also to reassure myself that she's safe and I can work in peace without worrying.The day that I came home from the diner, I immediately told Marco to do a background check on her and from the look that Marco and Alex gave me, I knew that were shocked as it was the first time I ever told Marco to do a background check on a girl.I don't normally do relationships as I think that they're just a waste of time but that girl is completely changing me and she doesn't even know, b
Venessa's povIt has been exactly one week since I received that strange phone call, and ever since that night, in the back of my mind there's something that keeps telling me that I'm being followed and watched but I can't pinpoint who and why would someone do such a thing, I mean why me?Also, I started having nightmares every night and as always it would be the same. I kept having that same nightmare, where I'm being chased by someone and I keep on running towards a dark alley until I reach a valley and as always I would wake up instantly, sweating and shaking violently.The constant nightmares deprived me from sleep that I started getting bags and dark circles on my eyes.On top of that, Mario and Andrew are really worried about me, they kept on asking me whether I'm okay or not and I keep on saying that I'm fine as I don't really want them to worry about me, they already had enough on their pl
Previously,I was so caught up with my thoughts when I heard the door creak opened, but I didn't bother to look up as I thought it could be any of my co workers finally coming. But boy, I was so wrong.Venessa's P.O.V"Ehi, ecco la mia rosa", (hey, there my little rose) said a deep voice at the door making me shot my head up so fast that I thought I would break my neck.I didn't quite understand what he said, but I didn't bother much as I was too busy gaping at him.There he stood at the door, wearing a fine fitted Armani suit. At that moment, my brain completely shut down.I sat at the chair hypnotized by the Greek god standing in front of me and I would be absolutely lying, if I say that I am not enjoying the sight in front of me.I stood up from my chair almost stumbling
Venessa's P.O.VHe dragged me out of the changing room and strode towards the front door of the diner.As we reached the parking lot, I noticed that we were walking to the expensive-looking car that I saw earlier in the morning,of course, I should've known, I thought to myself, mentally rolling my eyes.All of a sudden, he stopped walking making me bump at his stone-like back."Ouchh" I whispered rubbing my forehead.He turned to look at me and muttered a small sorry.I glanced up to him seeing his face laced with concern. I didn't know mafia leaders say sorrys." What is it that you really want?," I asked him, slightly annoyed.He sighed, as he rubbed his forehead. "Get in" he stated gesturing towards the car."Excuse me? kindly tell me one good reason, why on e
Vincent's P.O.VA week after my phone call with my little rose, I came to find out from Marco that rose's parents' accident was actually planned, meaning that someone wanted to kill them so they decided to temper the car they used that day in order to kill them without making anyone suspicious, and after a few days of investigating, we found out that the rival mafia in Russia was responsible for it as the Clays owed them a large sum of money which they failed to return and at that time they didn't know that the Clays have a daughter but unfortunately just a few days ago they found out about her and now they're hell-bent on finding who the girl is and as far as I know the Russians mafia, they are ruthless, they rape girls and kill them once they get bored.But I promised myself that I'll die before I let something happen to my little rose. I will do anything in my power to protect her even if it me
Vincent's P.O.VI stood up from my chair, ready to follow her, too excited to be near her." You must remember your promise, Vince" Mario reminded me, looking at me which I nodded my head to him in response and proceeded to finally meet rose.As I strode towards the changing room, my heart started to beat hard against my ribcage, which is actually so surprising as it has never happened before.Never in my life, I felt nervous just because of a girl. So, there's one thing for sure, that rose is changing me.Pulling the door opened, the first thing that greeted my eyes was rose sitting at the corner of the room with her head in her arms, she looks fragile and innocent which makes me want to protect her from every danger, but despite of the door creaking she didn't even bother to look up to see who's now with her in the room, it seems like she's too caught up with her own tho
Venessa's pov"Marry me, Venessa" Upon hearing his word, I felt like someone just threw a bucket of chilly water on me. My lips were like glued together preventing me from speaking.I was speechless, how can he expect me to marry him, I mean he's a complete stranger and on top of that, he is a mafia leader."What did you just say?" I questioned him, thinking that my ears probably have deceived me."You heard what I said, love unless you have a hearing problem" he replied looking and sounding very calm and collected, which I must add.While I, on the other hand, is freaking the hell out.He just asked you to marry him, girl you're lucky, says inner Venessa, but that's not the point, why me? Ask him then, says inner Venessa rolling her eyes at me.Calming my
Vincent's P.O.VThe moment that I told Rose to marry me, she looked at me as if I had grown two heads, and for that, I can't blame her.Anyone at her place right now had probably slapped me already, but she didn't, which I'm actually grateful for."What did you just say?" She questioned, looking slightly pale as she has just seen a ghost.Shit, I knew this was a terrible idea, but that stupid Alex kept saying last night that this plan will work..."You heard me, love, unless you have a hearing problem" I replied cockily, feeling so terrible for talking to her like a douche bag, but I have got no choice. I got to act tough."But why me?? There's a lot of girls out there who would die to marry you. Why do you want me?" She questioned once again, looking completely confused and flabbergasted.I know there's a lot of girls but it's you,
Venessa's P.O.VOpening my eyes, I laid still in my bed watching the sunrise through the window. My thoughts drifted back with my conversation with Vincent, I thought he would call back but unfortunately; he didn't. I don't exactly know what I want, but I wanted him to call back and force me to talk about what's bothering me.Dragging my body towards the bathroom, I looked at myself at the mirror tracing the bruises I got from Andrew and Leonardo, they're slowly fading away and it is not as dark as it was before but it was still visible, if you would look closely enough.After taking a quick shower, I got dressed and headed downstairs as quietly as I can, since Lynda and Mario are still sleeping. It's still pretty early but I have to go early as I'm opening the diner and also because I can't even go to sleep no matter how hard I tried.Putting on my coat, I head outside and suddenly get slapped by the c
Vincent's P.O.VShe hanged up! She did not even f*cking bothered about what I want to say and it pissed me; it made me so angry that I gripped the phone tight as if it can lessen the anger I'm feeling, but it didn't. I want to kill someone.Standing up, I threw the phone across the wall, feeling the beast inside me waking up. A growl escaped from my mouth as I looked around the room frantically for that piece of f*cking papers. What the f*ck is this shit about?.Advancing towards the corner of the room where the broken bedside table sat, a white folded paper that laid at the floor caught my attention. I bent and picked it up with my hands slightly trembling. I just hope it's not a divorce paper.Unfolding the creased papers, my eyes hastily scanned the entire paper and as once I did, relief flooded inside me but at the same time, I can't help but feel curious about what on hell i
Vincent's P.O.VThese last few days have been chaotic. There's something going wrong with the shipping and someone's leaking information. I'm going crazy, I can't even sleep properly, and on top of that mi rosa left me because of my stupidness.I can't get her face out of my head how she looked when she saw me kissing the maid. I feel ashamed of my own actions. I don't know what came over me for doing what I did.I was too pressurized with work and I remember drinking to ease myself a little, but that maid suddenly came inside, sat at my lap, and started to unbutton my shirt. She started kissing me and just about I was to push her, Venessa saw us.She looked heartbroken and her eyes glistened with tears, she so looked betrayed.And when I followed her to the room, I saw her packing. My hands shook and my heart pounded hard. "Please don't leave me, please don't" were
Venessa's P.O.VReaching Mario's house, I tried my best to flatten my unruly hair. I look like a mess, well; I am a mess. But I don't want Mario and Lynda to worry about me.Pulling the door open, they immediately fill my ears with Mario's laughter. I walked inside and saw that he and Lynda are sitting at the coach conversing with each other animatedly while I stood by the door not wanting to be seen as I can't help but admire both of them and their love for each other.Lynda spotted me and dragged me to sit with them. Which I couldn't deny."Did you have your dinner, my Rosa?"Mario questioned, caressing my hand that is holding his fragile one."Yes, I did. Did you have yours?" I lied, looking away not wanting to get caught.Mario however put his hand on my chin making me look at him, but I don't want to look at him as my heart breaks every
Venessa's P.O.VWearing my diner uniform, I headed downstairs and saw Lynda cooking breakfast. I approached her and greeted her with a good morning and with a smile on my face."Good morning sweetie, did you sleep well?" She questioned, looking at my pale face and dark circles, making me feel conscious as I didn't even bother to cover them up."Yeah, I slept well. Thank you for asking. Where's Mario by the way." I replied trying to make her stop questions, not that I want to share it with her, it's just I don't want to talk about it right now as I don't want to ruin my mood furthermore."He's still in bed. I'm really worried about him" Lynda replied, sadness lacing in her voice and a tear fell from her eyes. I pulled her into a hug and wipe her tears away.''He's going to be fine, don't worry'', I whispered feeling awful just thinking about Mari
Previously.Please tell me you're not serious." He said above whisper looking right into my soul and I can't help but stare right back, still can't believe that he's still the same Vincent whom I thought loves me unconditionally and who's willing to do everything for me.What if he doesn't really love me and what if he is cheating at me from the very first?.Present.Venessa's P.O.VLooking at the man in front of me, I can't help but feel heartbroken. He looks tired, his eyes bloodshot red, and has bags around them. He held my arms, looking at me helplessly with his shoulders slumped. I want to help him, help him lessen his agony, and help him ease his pain. But what about my pain?"Please don't leave. Let me explain please." He begged but I don't want to listen to him. I don't want to hear hi
Venessa's POV.Driving back home, my little brain still couldn't register what was happening. Everything's happening too fast. First I met up with Andrew, got myself kidnapped and beaten up and now I'm being dropped off to my home, which is really considerate of them. They could have left me all alone on the streets in the dark but they didn't.Too caught up with my own thoughts, I didn't realise that Andrew was talking to me until he placed his hand on top of mine making me quickly pull my hand away, making him chuckle." would be careful if I were you, Venessa" he laughed but I paid no heed to him. "But anyways, feel free to come to me though, if Vincent gets tired of you". He added making my head snap towards his direction."In your dreams, Andrew. I'd rather die than come to you again. You're the biggest snake, I have ever seen." I spat gripping the papers in my hand so tight.
Venessa's P.O.V"Tsk, tsk, task." A sound erupted at the door, making my and Andrew's head snap towards it. There stood Leonardo, leaning against the door, clearly enjoying the sight in front of him. Andrew let go of my hair making me sigh in content but my scalp still hurts though.Advancing to
Venessa's P.O.VOpening my eyes, I couldn't help but wince by how my head is throbbing with pain. Sitting up, I look at my surroundings and feel my hands shake and my heart starts to pounder. I'm definitely not at mine and Vincent's room.
