The Mafia (EDITING)

Chapter 74

We hopped into our cars, speeding off in one line towards the house. Felicity and Nathan are with Dylan and I, Chris and Tori have Kay and Lee, Bridget and Shane have Adalyn and Matt, Lin and Miles have Lily, Cat and Ryan, Ethan and Ivy have the baby bags and the weapons. We pulled up to the mansion, my eyes examining everyone outside.

"There are a lot of people..." I drifted off, Dylan nodding.

We parked, the others parking next to us. Our cars are just like everyone else's, but mine was the only one different. It's a black Hennessey Venom GT 2016, everyone looking at it as we passed by the mansion to the parking area. Dylan got out of the passengers seat while I got out of the driver's, Nathan and Felicity following. Dylan grabbed my hand softly, Nathan and Felicity behind us as everyone else came to us. I looked at everyone around us, their eyes showing fear and disgust.

"Do you think Red will get into another fight?" Felicity asked with a chuckle. I groaned and shoved her lightly.

"10 bucks on her fighting." Miles mumbled.

"10 bucks she won't." Ryan added.

"10 bucks she'll get hit on by an older dude." Ethan stated.

"10 bucks she'll get hit on by a younger dude." Chris shrugged.

"10 bucks that she'll at least argue with someone and get hit on." Shane thought out loud.

"Are you guys seriously betting on her?" Dylan asked, shocked. I was about to thank him for defending me until he spoke again.

"If you're gonna bet make it worth it. Raise the bets to 30 or 40 bucks." Dylan stated, swinging his arm over my shoulders, I sighed in return.

"40 bucks she'll get into a fight with a guy and a girl." Dylan whispered once we reached the door. I elbowed his rib cage, the air getting knocked out of him. I smirked as a lady looked at us.

"Shadow Figures." I smiled, her eyes trailing over the list before nodding for us to go in.

"Why do we have to come all nice and dressed up?" Lily complained.

"Hun, this isn't dressed up. You have to make it seem like you belong around here, you're in a mafia for fuck sake." Felicity answered.

"Felicity." Chris snapped, I high fived her with a smile. We looked around the building, a waiter coming towards us with food, offering us some. Everyone got a plate of the sushi, chowing it down.

"This is delicious." Miles stated and with that he disappeared with Ryan to find the food. Everyone dispersed, leaving Felicity and I by ourselves.

"And I guess its just us now." I sighed, holding onto Felicity, pulling out my vision line and placing it with hers so she can look around. She wowed as she looked around the room with a smile, people started to look at us and I pulled the line back to myself.

"Hello Veronica, Hello Felicity." A familiar voice said. I looked back and smiled, bowing in front of him.

"Hello Francesco, it's great to see you." I stated, his lips kissing my cheek softly. Felicity bowed, his lips kissing her hand.

"Hello Francesco. It's great to feel you again." Felicity chuckled, a laugh escaping his lips in return. His father made his way over to us.

"Ms. White, or should I say Mrs. Ryder now. And Ms. Williams." Mr. Abelli smiled, placing his hand in front of me. I kissed his ring, Felicity doing the same. We talked for a while before he pardoned himself. Nathan came and took Felicity with him, leaving Francesco and I alone. He has bright blue eyes and dark brown hair and is 20 years old.

"You are very beautiful Veronica." He smiled, I smiled back.

"Why thank you. You are quite charming." I responded, trying to hear Dylan's voice in the room.

"Do you care to dance?" An elderly man asked.

"I don't really dance sir." I stated.

"She would love to." Francesco said before pushing me towards the man. I chuckled as we danced.

"So what is your name my dear?" The man asked.

"Veronica White. Yours?" I smiled as we continued to dance.

"Leonardo Espero. Relationship status?" He asked.

"Married to Dylan Ryder. Yourself?" I asked back.

"Widowed by Marietta Tegano." He sighed. I nodded, continuing to dance with him. His hand gripped my waist a bit tighter, pulling my body closer.

"I know who and what you are my dear and let me just say I would never leave your side. Where is your husband anyway? " He asked, I shrugged in return.

He motioned me to the stairs, I followed slowly. He opened a door slowly, only enough for us to see into the room. Clothes were scattered everywhere, Dylan's outfit on the floor. I looked at the bed where movement came from, Dylan having sex with a woman about our age. I walked backwards with tears in my eyes.

"Thank you Mr. Espero." I faked a smiled before rushing down the stairs. Felicity and Nathan sat bored like in the living room.

"Can we leave now Red?" Nathan asked, I nodded and made my way to the front door.

"Thank you for inviting us to the party Mr. Abelli." I attempted to smile, hearing a door from upstairs open.

I grabbed Felicity and Nathan before making our way to the car, people blocking our way.

"Excuse me." I snapped at a man, he turned around with his girl under his arm.

"What'd you say ta him?" The girl snapped. I sighed, pushing her out of the way.

"Fuck you bitch." The girl snapped, her fist landing on my cheek. I groaned in anger, turning around before punching her. She landed on the ground, her boyfriend coming forward. I kicked his knee as he threw a punch, his body taking a kneeling position. I rammed my knee into his face, his body landing beside his girlfriend. I grabbed Nathan and Felicity once again before dragging them to the car, hopping in and driving off. Tears rolled down my cheeks, my vision becoming a bit blurry. Felicity placed her hand on mine, making me pull the car over to the side of the road. I sobbed into her shoulder, thanking her for being here.

"I can drive for you if you want Red." Nathan offered. I nodded and hopped into the passengers seat, Nathan hopping into the driver's seat before speeding off. I clutched my bruised and cut knuckles, leaning on City's shoulder as I cried.
