ME AND HIM ✔️

Pt.33

Nadine's POV

WE'RE LATE.... That's just perfect.

"Fuck, we're 38 minutes late!" Aniyah whines as we step out of the limo.

"If you would have gotten ready a little earlier, we wouldn't be." We walk up to the steps of the mansion where the ball is being hosted, and knock on the door.

A man in a full black suit opens the door. My eyes immediately go to the gun holster around his waist. These are the guards.

"приглашать" The guard demands.
(Translation: Invite)

I pull out a white envelope from my suit coat, and hand it to him.

He reads through it before handing it back to me. He moves to the side and allows us to walk in.

They really out did themselves.

Ivan is the host of these things. My mother told me, she and my father used to attend every charity they held, but when they broke off the alliance, they never came back. Until me and the others, now.

Since our Mafia was murdered in cold blood, it's just us six here to represent our Mafia. And the others I left back in New York.

I look around the room and spot at least two other mafia's.

I'm not sure who's all here though.

"Добрый вечер мой принц," I look ahead and see Ivan with a grin plastered on his face.
(Translation: Good evening my prince)

"вечер, иван" I say.
We're still at war, but for tonight, my only problem is finding my parents, or finding out who took them.
(Translation: Evening, Ivan)

Everyone here is dressed up in the theme the ball was being thrown as.

The theme of this charity event is 'Fairytale'. I think what they meant by fairytale, was a prince and princess duo or some shit like that.
Like honestly, who makes these things up?

Everyone here looked over the top.
Some people wore poofy dresses and crazy hairdos, while others had simple, yet still outfits that made them look- what's the word?

The dress I got for Rue was hand made and customized personally for her.
I had a friend design one, that would fit her perfectly. Every curve she had was revealed. Her breasts looked like they were gonna spill out and her hips looked beautiful.

I can't stop replaying our fight in my head. Everything she said was true. I want her. I admit, and not only in a sexual sense. But I can't have her. I won't allow myself to.

My parents made the mistake of falling in love. Love makes you weak. And if someone knows your weakness, they'll do anything to get it and use it against you.

My mother has been kidnapped three time's while with my father. Two of them was when she was pregnant with me, the other was when they were on a mission together.

Long story short, my mom always got hurt in the end, because she was my fathers weakness.

And I won't allow myself to have what they had.

"нам есть что обсудить, Надин." Ivan says with a grin.
(Translation: We have a lot to discuss, Nadine)

"Well that's too bad, isn't it?" As I'm about to walk away, something catches my eye.

Brown hair, brown eyes, tan skin.
