ALEXEI'S POV

I did it! I finally did it and asked her to be my girlfriend! I was so happy and we have so much in common. I know I'm not the perfect man, you know running a mafia and all, but I made a promise to always protect and love her.

On our first date, when she got sad that my rings didn't fit her, I already made a mental note to get her the same one that fits, and when she saw it I knew that I made the right choice.

I'll admit, when I asked her officially I was nervous, but when she said that we needed to talk first was even more nerve-wrecking.

When she started talking about her life before she came here I already knew that she was gonna say something that I wasn't gonna like.

But what she said made my blood boil. I've never felt this mad before, not even when I find that I have rats in my mafia.

I felt uncontainable rage, my hand literally itched to shoot someone but I had to remind myself that she's next to me and I don't want to scare her.

It's really unfortunate that her bitch of a mother and stepdad are dead, but I have an advantage and that John's brother is well and alive. Now I'm just waiting for him to fuck up so I can get my hands on him.

But, despite being furious, I felt admiration and pride burst through me. She's been through so much at such a young age yet she's still alive and standing, she didn't let them break her and I admire her for that, not a lot of people do that and I've never met someone so strong.

Being strong isn't only about having muscles and lifting weights. It's also about how strong your mind is. It's not about size, but how you handle the situation.

She's so fucking strong and I'm so proud to call her my girlfriend. So proud to call her mine.

I'll admit, I was suspicious when Antonio first introduced her to us. I mean, we've known Antonio for years and suddenly out of the blue his daughter pops out of nowhere. She could've been a spy.

But after he explained the situation I understood everything, but thinking back to when we first met, I should've put the pieces together.

She had a knee and shoulder brace, when her she breathed she'd wince and cringe and put her hand on her ribs. She'd flinch from the slightest sound and she was always alert of her surroundings, I should've put two and two together.

But I never expected it to be so bad and horrible. But like I told her, my feelings for her don't change, in fact they became stronger.

But our date yesterday was absolutely perfect. I felt at peace every time I'm around her. Her calming and soft voice, her scent, everything about her drives me crazy.

And god, her lips, they were like a drug, so addicting and so soft. They fit so perfectly with mine, I got a taste and I got addicted, and nothing will make my addiction better.

When I dropped her off and went back to my house I already missed her when we already saw each other like 30 mins ago.

I got ready for bed and lied down and thought about her and put future and what it would be like. I wanna travel with her and sleep with her wrapped safely in my arms.

I was snapped out of my thoughts by a knock on my office door. Shit I must've day dreamed of yesterday for too long.

I cleared my throat and told the person to come in.
The door opened and the three soldiers that dad assigned to watch over Jake came in with their usual blank faces.

"Дон, we have an update on Jake." The one in the middle said and I sat up straighter in my chair, feeling my fists clench at the mention of that bastards name.

"What about him?" I commanded in my coldest voice.

"Their seems to be suspicious activity going on. He's been going to this abandoned warehouse for a while now at the same time everyday. Thing is, no one comes out, only he comes inside and then leaves at the same time. Their might be someone inside but they don't leave the warehouse. What do you want us to do?" He explained seriously and waited patiently for me to answer.

I nodded my head and absorbed the information. This is suspicious, what would he be doing at an abandoned warehouse? And their is a specific time also which is suspicious.

I thought for a moment and said "Don't do anything for now, make sure to keep your eye on him and if theirs anything suspicious then tell me. Don't let him out of your sight."

"Yes Дон."

After they left I called my dad and told him what they told me. He said to do the exact same thing and that he'd call the Italians to let the know and if their men found the same.

After ending my call I decided to text my girlfriend and see how she's doing.

Me: Good morning love, how are you today?

I pressed send and put my phone down. I signed some papers and waited for her to reply.

10 mins later and I heard my phone buzz. I put my pen down and opened the message.

My flower: I'm doing good! Wbu :)

I smiled and immediately texted back.

Me: Im doing good, missing you tho.

And send. She took a while to answer and I knew that she's blushing as we speak.

We spoke for an hour before I had to go and I promised to call her as soon as I finished.

I put my phone in my suit pocket and buttoned the jacket.

I have a meeting with a gang that's offering us guns. I ran my hand through me hair to fix it and made sure that the drawers in my office are locked.

Now I just have to find a way to tell her about the mafia.
