The Mafia's Daughter

Chapter 8 If everyone pulls something

-Vincenzo-

My heart stops in my throat when I see her, she really is here. Tina.

Mauro was at the club with me that night and saw me with her. He nudges me with his elbow and I give him a push back.

I see her alright, he doesn't have to push me. I follow her with my eyes and when our eyes find each other I see that she did not expect me here, I see that she blushes, and then she quickly moves on.

She gives everyone a glass and I see Marc, Damiano, and also Leon looking at her.

I squeeze my eyes together at them and when they see my gaze they all look away.

That’s right, don't look at what's mine. I don't know yet who or what Tina is doing here, but Tina is mine. And as soon as I’m done here, I will take her with me, home, where I will cherish her forever.

I don’t know what is happening to me, but for over a year this girl keeps coming into my dreams, that night at REXX, she enchanted me, I forgot why I was there and I kept her in danger.

When I finally could leave, the booth where I put her in was empty, she was gone.

I was mad, mad at myself for letting her go, mad that I put her there alone, with no one to protect her.

I searched for her everywhere, but I never saw her again.

Until now and now, my want for her is just too big. I need to have her.

I try to keep my mind on the conversation, but it's hard to take my eyes off Tina.

Her beautiful red dress with a high split and an open back.

The dress fits perfectly around her figure, her brown wavy, and curly hair perfectly flows over her shoulders.

F**k she is by far the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, all those girls she is here with are wearing a dress that shows much more than she shows, but she also doesn't need to show so much, she is just gorgeous, or is it stunning?

When the food is served, Tina sits between Riccardo and Christiano, none of the girls sits between them, the other girls are sitting between my men and their men, but not next to Riccardo or Christiano.

When I see how they look at her, I feel a little mad, she is clearly their favorite too. When she leans forward for her glass of water, I see it.

A gold bracelet with an oval white diamond in it. I look at the other women, nobody has the gold bracelet, it’s the Ferrante symbol, she is not wearing the matching earrings, no necklace and most importantly, no ring, no Ferrante symbol on her beautiful tiny fingers, and no wedding ring on the one and only finger that matters.

This means she is not married to one of those brothers. F**k that would be cruel.

"May I introduce you to our sister Valentina Ferrante." Riccardo smiles and Tina extends her hand to me.

I take her hand and kiss the back of her hand, as it should be.

"Valentina, a beautiful name, for a beautiful woman," I tell her and she quickly withdraws her hand and I see that she looks away.

Not fast enough because I see a slight blush.

"Vincenzo is Bellucci's heir. When his Father Emilio finally retires, we will make our renewed bond official." Riccardo explains to her and I see her looking with big eyes.

She had no idea who I was when she met me, just as I had no idea who she was.

They have managed to keep her well-hidden all these years.

Why?

Is it because she is a woman? Why could no one tell me that she is a Ferrante? It could complicate things.

But I already know, I want her and I don’t let go now either.

The meeting is over and I know the rest will get a show from the women who were with us in the meeting.

I don't need that show, there's only one woman I want and that's Valentina. I see how she walks away in a different direction than the other girls go and I take my chance to speak to her.

I gently grab her and pull her against the wall behind a curtain.

She gasps but when she looks at me I see the fright disappear from her face and her eyes.

"I found you," I tell her and put a tuft of hair behind her ear and lean against the wall with my hand. She bites her lip, f**k that's sexy "Were you looking for me?" she asks and I nod

"For a year." I tell her and she blushes.

"Go on a date with me Valentina, one date.." I ask her, my voice is already letting me down and I lean forward.

She fills the remaining space between us and puts her arm around my neck, I grab her around her waist and pull her against me when I kiss her and she lets me into her mouth.

My hand slides from her waist to her ass, to her leg. I feel the slit of the dress and when I want to put my hand under it she lifts her leg and I feel her soft skin, just like a year ago and when I kiss her neck she moans softly.

F**k, this is not good, here in the hallway.

It takes all my strength, but I stop and let go of her leg, She blushes and she bites her lip. When I want to caress her face, I hear a sound behind me that I know all too well.

Click-click

"Leave her alone Vincenzo." I look over my shoulder and see Marcello a few steps away.

"Marcello no." I hear the panic in her voice. She's clearly not used to this.

"Marcello drop the gun, I. ." I start but he interrupts me.

"NO, GET OUT NOW!" he shouts, my men have heard it too and I soon hear a lot more clicking, and then Valentina does something that I, but her brother, do not expect either. She steps in front of me with her face to Marcello

"Don't you dare." She says calmly and clearly. Marcello's eyes get big.

"Are you crazy, he has a gun pointed at me," I tell her, grabbing her and putting her back behind me.

"Yes, I see that and I don't want that, that's why I step in." She explains.

“I don’t want you to,” I tell her.

“Are you nuts, what if he shot you,” I tell her and I see she is looking away and she bites her lip.

I raise my hand and pull her lip out between her teeth

“Please, don’t bite you-“

“F**K OFF VINCENZO, KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF,” Marcello yells at me and I sigh. I’m not easily impressed, and not in the slightest by him.

“I have a gun too,” I tell Marcello and he shakes his head.

“You don’t dare.” He exclaims. And I smirk at him and hold Valentina behind me.

“Do you want me to believe that you would actually shoot at me, while I’m standing in front of your sister?.” I tell him. I feel her hand moving over my arm. It feels nice. I want her there. Holding me.

“Do you really want me to believe you’re that mad at me?”

I see that Riccardo, Christiano, and Luca also standing there. Riccardo has an awful grin on his face, Christiano looks shocked and Luca looks mad. He always looks mad.
