Daisy ✧
I looked up at him as fear coated my eyes.
I gulped as his deafening glare gazed through my eyes and I looked away as I felt my spine begin to crawl.
Be cool Daisy.
"And, you are?" His voice had a thick Italian accent, similar to Angel's.
"Um, I'm Daisy Viola, erm, sir," I mutter out.
He stares at me and raises an eyebrow.
"Tyson Viola's cousin hm?" He asks.
"Yes," I answer shortly avoiding eye contact with the scary man.
"I'm assuming you know about the business, no?"
"Yes, I do. I was recently just told." I tell him honestly.
He nods.
"Carlos?" A feminine voice comes from behind him.
A very beautiful woman comes into view.
She had a slim figure, natural deep brown hair and natural dark brown skin.
Her eyes were a light grey which had instantly told me she was the mother of Angel.
She came over to Carlos and wrapped her arm around his and turned her attention to me.
Her eyes widen in shock as she looks over me.
"Oh, what a beauty you are." She says in shock.
Heat rises to my cheeks as she subtly looks over me.
"My goodness, love, you are just stunning." She says.
I impossibly redden more and look down at my feet.
"Thank you." I reply softly.
She smiles gently at me and holds her hand out.
"Marina Romano."
I take her hand and shake it softly with hers.
"Daisy Viola." I reply.
Our hands let go and she turns towards Carlos as he observed me quietly.
"She should meet Angel." She says not taking her eyes off of me.
"No. He doesn't need a woman nor a weakness or distraction." He says sternly eyeing me.
Marina sighs and looks at him shaking her head.
"The Russians have arrived." She tells him.
He nods stiffly and loops his arm with hers.
"Get Angel." He tells one of the men surrounding the premises.
He nods and walks off.
"It was nice meeting you, Daisy." Marina says gently.
"You too, Mrs Romano." I reply politely.
Carlos simply nodded at me before taking off with his wife.
Just as they take off Tyson came from a corner and strode up to me.
He sits down on the chair next to me and sighs.
"I met the Romano's," I whisper to Tyson.
"And?" He asks.
"Marina was really sweet. Carlos... not so much." I state shivering at the glare he was looking at me with.
Tyson chuckles and nods his head.
"Yeah, he's probably the only person who genuinely scares me." Tyson admits.
"I mean how could you not be," I say.
"Oh look it's Gale." Tyson points out as he waves him over.
The sudden urge to pee erupted within me and I mentally sighed.
"Ty, I need to go to the bathroom. I'll be back." I tell him.
He nods and waved at Gale as he came over.
I move away and begin to walk towards the bathroom, only to realise I had no fùcking Idea where it was.
So that leads me to stand in the middle of a Mafia bosses mansion having absolutely no clue where I was.
As I turned my 5th corner, my body crashed into something incredibly hard.
Hands caught me as I stumbled back nearly tripping over my heels.
My eyes snapped up and they caught the familiar cold eyes of Angel.
I look up at him and a small smile comes onto my lips.
"Hi," I say softly.
He stares at me before pulling away from my hold.
"Moonlight." He greets back coldly.
I looked around the hall we were in, it was dark though there was a slight light coming through the end of the hall.
"What are you doing?" He asks blankly.
I look back up at him, staring into his empty eyes.
"I was looking for the bathroom."
He nods and holds his hand out.
"I'll take you."
I put my hand in his and walk behind him silently.
We walk past many doors until finally making it to a bathroom.
I sighed in relief and went through the door.
I closed it and ran to the toilet doing my business.
After I was done I had washed my hands and fixed myself up quickly.
I had noticed the bathroom was also something that looked incredibly beautiful.
The room was gold and white which transparent with the 'old rich money' theme.
I pulled my hand over the door handle and pulled the door open.
Angel was leaning against the wall in front of the door, his head was tilted up as he stared at the ceiling emotionlessly.
He looked down at me as I stood out of the bathroom.
"I met your parents," I tell him walking away from the bathroom.
He hums and nods his head as he walks beside me.
"Yeah, your dad was scary but your mum was an angel." I tell him.
He smirks and a deep chuckle erupts within him.
I bite my lip at the sound.
We make it out of the halls and end up back to the room with everyone in it.
The room now had different sets of tables around the room.
A group of men and women sat at each table and my eyes searched for Tyson.
"You can sit with me." Angel's voice says from beside me.
I turn to him and then turn my attention back to the tables looking at his own.
"I mean if you don't mind. I can just sit with Tyson if I'm intr-
He rolls his eyes and places his hand on the small of my back and walks us towards his table.
I blush and look down at my heels.
Angel led me towards his table, all eyes around the room turned to us instantly.
Women around the room eyed us, or me pacifically in resentment and jealously, as the men minded their own business or stared at us in envy.
I smiled at that, the way their eyes lingered on us both as if we were some sort of power couple like from those movies.
Main character moment.
"You look beautiful, bambina" Angel whispered in my ear.
Translation; baby
I blush at his comment as tingles go up to my spine from close contact.
We had made it to the table, Angel pulled an empty seat out from the table motioning for me to sit.
I sit down in the chair and pull it to the table as Angel takes a seat from beside me.
"Daisy!" Marina exclaims.
I smile at her sheepishly.
"I see you've met our son Angel. She's a beauty isn't she Angel?"
Angel stares at his mother emotionlessly before bringing his eyes to me, he looks over me thoroughly and licks his lips and then nods.
I turn my attention back to the people on the round table we sat at.
They all seemed to be middle-aged men or some a bit younger on the table, along with a few women only to look a bit older than me.
Angel's father held a menacing glare on his face as another scary-looking man beside him talked.
I shivered and looked down at the champagne glass in front of me.
I took it into my hands and gulped it down.
I heard Angel scoff from beside me, his head tilted in amusement at the action.
Maids had come out through a door and held plates of food in their hands.
My stomach ached at the delicious smell.
"Angel's trained enough now." I heard Carlos say.
It seemed Angel heard it too as his attention snapped towards his father.
The man beside Angel's father looked over at us as he nodded towards Angel.
"We will have to talk about the business sometime." The man says towards Angel.
Angel nods as he stares at him with no interest at all.
"Are we closing the deal?" The man says holding his hand out for Carlos.
"Deal closed." He says and shakes his hand with the man.
The maids come around to our table first and place the food down.
I grin widely at the plate of pasta in front of me.
I start digging into the food trying my best to hold in a groan from the taste.
I silently ate the food as I watched the scenes around me.
Everyone at the table was completely silent now as everyone dug into their food.
"So, Angel, are you currently looking for any women for a hand in marriage yet?"
I choked on my food as the girl beside Angel's other side spoke.
I coughed loudly catching the attention of the people near me, I smiled covering it up.
What did she say?
"No." He replies blankly.
I turn my head slightly to him, discreetly of course.
The girl had her hand on his arm and I had this urge to slap it away.
She looked up at him through her false eyelashes that were actually quite nice if I do say.
I could see the desire and want filled in her eyes, too bad he was mine.
I mentally flinch back at my possessiveness.
Woah tiger, calm your títs.
My eyes stay on the girl as she attempts to get Angel's attention, though it didn't work at all as he blankly stared at the wall in front of us.
I tapped the side of his arm and he looked over at me instantly.
I motioned my hand for him to lean down to which he did.
I brought my lips to his ear as I whispered in it.
"Are you going to eat?" I ask him.
He looks down and shakes his head no.
"You should," I state.
He rolls his eyes and turns his head towards me, my eyes widen at the proximity between us.
He smirks and leans his head further towards my face, only being inches from touching.
He then brings his red lips to my cheek and presses a kiss against it.
Angel leans back and rests in his seat again casually.
I breathe out a short breath as my hazy mind comes back to reality.
I looked around the table to see if anyone noticed the exchange meant and to which someone did.
Angel's father's eyes were glaring at me and I genuinely thought I shat myself.
I cleared my throat and looked away from him, taking the champagne glass to my lips and sipping it.
I saw the girl from earlier and the sour expression on her face told me she saw the exchange meant too.
I shrugged carelessly and smirked mentally.
I continue to eat the rest of my pasta as I watch the men around the table hopelessly try to make conversation with Angel.
Eventually, we all had finished eating and I sat back in my seat completely satisfied.
"Angel." Carlos calls.
Angel looks over at him.
"Seguire."
Translation; Follow
Angel nods and gets up from his seat, before walking away with his Mother and Father he leaned down towards me and places a hand on my shoulder, he leaned towards my cheek and pressed a small gentle kiss onto it.
"A presto, ragazza mia" He whispered in my ear before walking away.
Translation; See you soon, my girl.
I'm seriously considering going for Italian lessons.
I watched him walk behind his parents gracefully.
My eyes then make contact with Tyson's and I smile.
I get up from my seat and walk over to him just as people start getting out of their seats and back to the ballroom.
"Thought you went missing for a sec," Tyson says wrapping his arm around my waist.
I laugh and lean my head back on his chest as my weak legs were ready to go to bed.
"Come on, they're making an announcement and then we can go home and get out of this shít show," Tyson mumbled.
I giggle again and walk with him to the room where everyone had gathered.
Tyson and I stand in the middle of the floor along with other people around us.
We watch as men in black suits and shades walk into the room surrounding the spiral stairs as the family comes through the doors.
"Here come the men in black, galaxy defenders..." Tyson sings under his breath which makes me burst out laughing.
This catches unwanted attention around the room and I immediately sober up replacing my laugh with a cough.
"On behalf of the Romano Empire, we want to congratulate and celebrate our newfound partnership with the Russian Empire."
Everyone in the room clapped and smiled warmly up at the Romanos.
Everyone in the room treated them like royalty, Carlos and Marina stood together as Angel stood beside them looking like the god he is.
He had the coldest glare set on his face, though it didn't differ from the fact he looked even more attractive and intimidating.
As I studied him blindly, his eyes made contact with mine.
He stared into my eyes from across the room, a slow smile made its way to my lips.
His lips formed into a small smirk as he stared at me.
The moment ended hastily as a single gunshot rang throughout the high walls.
