"nightmare week has begun" Xavier mutters under his breath.
--------
It's been a little more than a week since my birthday and everything has turned back to normal.
Well as normal as my life can be in general.
The nightmares stopped a few days after my birthday which despite my wishes we again celebrated.
Roman and my family have been an extremely big help these past few weeks.
I had to sort of learn how to walk again and it was difficult.
The nightmares with the feeling so helpless by not being able to use my muscles like I could before, it really made me feel broken all over again.
But my family helped me through all that.
They taught me how to walk again and so much more.
It was difficult like really difficult but I made it through and the person who helped me most of all is Roman.
He stayed with me every night, through the nightmares, the crying session, through everything and he never once complained about it.
I don't know how I can ever repay him for that.
How I can ever truly thank him for all that.
Today is the ball.
The mafia ball.
I am a little worried not going to lie but I also know that we have big plans and strategies formed with the other mafias.
I just showered together with Roman and am now getting dressed into this gown.
There is no chance that the Swiss' could win but people could get hurt.
My people- my family
I don't want that.
"My love" Roman says.
I turn to him, "yeah?"
"Come here please" he says
I smile before I walk up to him, still in my towel.
He wraps his arms around my waist as I do mine around his neck.
"Promise me you'll be okay" I whisper in his chest.
Roman rubs my back before suddenly picking me up and walking to the counter top where he places me down again, "I can't promise that nothing will happen to me, but I'll try not to get hurt okay. Just like you" he tells me while standing in between my legs.
I look up and nod my head, "okay" I whisper quietly as I hug him tighter.
He kisses my head before going down a little to my neck.
He sloppily nibbles and kisses my neck and sweet spot as soft sounds escape my lips.
"Roman" I gasp when he takes my towel off.
"Just relax my love" he says lovingly.
I lean on my arms behind me as Roman goes down more to my collarbone than my breast.
I take off his own towel when leaning forward as our lips meet.
My lips part and our tongs connect.
Roman's hand slowly goes up and down my thigh, teasing me.
"Ro please" I cry as more warmth pools in between my legs.
"You sure- we haven't done anything since the crash" he says unsure, "I don't want to hurt you" he tells me.
I nod my head, "I want to please Ro" I beg him right before our mouths meet again.
His hand goes further and suddenly his fingers are rolling over my clit as our passionate kiss turns even more heated.
I moan out in pleasure as Roman nibbles on my nipple.
I push my hips up more- higher, aching for more and he gives it to me, he slowly pushes a finger in my pussy.
I gasp loudly, "Roman"
He continues fingering me as he sucks my breast.
Hickeys form all over my body as he pleasures me all over.
He suddenly takes his fingers out of my cunt and replaces it by going down on his knees and starts using his tong.
He sucks, bites and nipples my clit as a knot starts to form in my abdomen.
Roman notices and suddenly pushes his tong in my entrance, fucking me with it.
I moan louder as an orgasm takes over my body and Roman holds me still while he continues.
I'm floating
Floating
Floating
And floating
Until I'm falling down again.
Another orgasm suddenly takes over and when I come down again, Roman is standing back in front of me.
I breathe heavily with tears from pleasure in my eyes as Roman's hard on presses against me.
"Can I?" He asks for permission.
I nod my head, "yeah" I say giving it to him before he pushes himself inside me.
Roman grabs hold of my body as he pushes himself further into me, "fuck baby you're so tight" he groans.
I whimper a little pained from the stretch but at the same time pleasure overtakes me.
Roman groans and visibly looks like he's trying to restrain himself.
"Fuck" I cry out, my head falling back when he pulls out before going back in as he sucks on my neck.
I moan loudly when he goes faster and faster.
I suck on his neck as my nails scrape his back a little.
He groans as he pushes in further and harder before our mouths connect again.
He kisses me harshly, "my love, you feel so good" he mutters into my mouth than our tongs collide once more.
———
We're in the car well limousine on the way to our mafia ball.
I'm a little nervous so I just quickly grab some anxiety meds as I'm cuddled into Roman's side.
My thighs still slightly tremble from our activity from before which I try to hide from the others.
I make sure that I have enough armer on me just like the others.
Roman gently strokes my thighs a little, calming them down.
I look at him as he looks at me smiling.
"I love you Ro"
His smile widens, "I love you, my love" he smiles lovingly as he pushes me closer to him.
"You look so beautiful" he smiles while looking at me.
I smile softly while hugging him tighter, "thank you, you look really really handsome Ro" I say softly
He smiles while thanking me as I rest my head back on his chest.
I close my eyes and let sleep take over as we still need to be in this car for more than an hour.
"Sleep well" is the last thing I hear before my surroundings disappear and sleep takes over.
—————
"Val?"
"My love, wake up"
"We're here baby" I hear Roman say.
I slowly open my eyes and look at him confused.
I lift my hand so I can rub my eyes but Roman grabs it, "you've got makeup on, you'll kill me if I let you ruin it by rubbing in your eyes" he says.
I smile slightly and drop my hand.
"I'm tired" I mutter while hugging Roman.
"I know, you can sleep later okay. After the war, I'll give you a massage and after that you can sleep on my chest" he says gently while nibbling on my ear a little.
I smile while nodding my head gently, "I'd like that"
"I know you would" he tells me.
"Okay you little lovebirds, let's go over the plan again" my mom says which makes everyone put their phones away.
A few minutes later we're all walking into the ballroom when our names are being called off.
My arm is linked with Roman's as we walk in the room.
Our faces are emotionless as we walk towards my family.
Roman gently caresses my arm as we make sure the power radiates off of us.
When we arrive at our family's side, the announcer starts to talk about some bullshit which I do all but pay attention to.
We made sure that no children would be here tonight since we know that the war will be here.
We all stay alert throughout the ball while sneakingly watching the fake Jaxon to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid.
—
The ball is halfway done when we start to hear gunshots.
The ball is halfway done when we get down to the ground as the Swiss' walk in with guns and the children from the other mafias.
Matteo is there too
No no no
They were in a safe house
Fuck
Someone who didn't know Jaxon wasn't Jaxon told him.
I look at my dad in panic, not knowing what to do as everyone draws their guns.
However before we can even do anything the leader of the Swiss' mafia comes in.
"Let.them.go" I demand harshly.
The old man looks me up and down before licking his lips. I see Roman grit his teeth in the corner of my eyes, trying to keep his cool.
I don't let the disgusting pig intimidate me and take my own gun out.
I point it right at his face.
He looks at me as I look at him, "let them go" I say once more.
The man just looks at me unimpressed, "no, but I would let them go if..you hand over the mafias." The man says.
"No" I say the second the words leave his mouth.
The man points the gun towards me.
"No?" He asks sarcastically
"No" I simply say.
The man chuckles before suddenly pointing the gun towards the fake Jaxon and shooting him right in the head.
I don't flinch, I don't even look.
A loud scream, a broken scream from a mother sounds in the room.
Aunt Adira falls to the ground next to Jaxon as she starts crying.
No one knows about that fake Jaxon except for my parents, brothers and Roman.
Shocked faces of my family look at the fake dead Jaxon.
Aunt Adira continues crying as my uncle Carlos tries to comfort her.
Screaming and crying from other children from the mafia that were in safe houses sound loudly across the room.
"Give.me.the.mafias" the man calls out again.
"No- what is your problem" I ask annoyed.
The man looks extremely confused at my reaction, "what you expect me to cry? I'm not going to cry about him" I say
My aunt looks at me with a murderous expression.
Maybe I shouldn't have said it like that.
"That's not Jaxon- do you think I'm stupid?" I ask the man sarcastically as I walk closer to him.
The man gulps nervously when he realizes that I knew what was going on all along.
I walk closer and closer even though that stupid gun is pointed at me.
I walk closer and closer until the gun is touching my forehead.
In a fast motion I pull Matteo out of that man's arms and he takes me in place.
"Run little bear" I whisper so only he hears and he runs to my family.
That man still has his gun pointed at me just like mine is pressed into his side.
Just as the plan was supposed to go, Jaxon- the real one- walks in and locks the door behind him.
Not going to lie, I can't keep the smirk off of my face.
"That however is the real Jaxon." I say as he walks up to me.
I hold out my fist which he taps with his own as the others all look shocked.
"How?" The man asks confused.
"Oh, Well the second you kidnapped the real one and gave us a fake spy, I noticed. I gave him only false information and went on a small mission to get the real one back with me. Of course you didn't know because I kept sending updates- fake updates. Those other men are all dead after that I took care of the real Jaxon got him in a hospital and than a safe house. You really suck at being a mafia boss." I tell him.
Aunt Adira looks up from hugging the fake dead Jaxon.
The real Jaxon looks over the dead one, "man he really looks like me" he says like he can't really believe it himself.
He than kneels next to his mom, "hey mom, I haven't seen you in a couple of months. How are you?" He asks gently.
Aunt Adira looks shocked before she starts crying harder and wraps her arms around her real son.
"Oh my god, my baby" she cries while hugging her son.
"Shh mom, it's fine, I'm okay" Jaxon tries to comfort her.
She pulls away and cups his face in her hands, "are you hurt?" She asks while desperately looking all over his body.
"No, I was but I healed from everything. I'm okay, I promise" he smiles lightly.
A loud sob leaves aunt Adira's mouth before she pulls him in a hug once more.
With the distraction I make eye contact with Roman as I wait for a signal to start.
When I get it I immediately punch the gun out of that man's hands and get out of his hold in the mean time.
The members of his mafia look startled as they don't know what to do with me having a gun pointed at their bosses face as he is defenseless.
"Let the children go.now. Or I'll shoot him" I threaten.
They look at each other unsure so I do the logical thing to do in this moment and shoot him in the knee.
He screams bloody murder while falling to the ground, "NOW" I yell now pointing the gun at his forehead but making sure that this idiotic man can't try to take me down.
Fucking hell this man's blood is ruining my only pair of black heals.
I love these.
The men all let the kids of the other mafias go.
The children run to their own parents and I motion for them to leave with at least one of their parents.
Crying children in the arms of mostly their mothers leave.
I step away from the puddle of blood so my favorite shoes don't get ruined by his blood.
I make a small hand motion behind me and the second I do that more people run out of the room as I still have my gun pointed at the boss.
The room is entirely empty except for those Swiss' and my family.
I duck down, crouching as if I'm going to be talking to the boss when guns go off and the others get shot.
Bodies from the Swiss' fall to the ground one after the other.
"Are there more outside?" I ask him
He grunts in pain but doesn't answer me.
I lift my gun and press it to his head.
"Yes or no" I demand.
"N-no these are all my men" he says before I pull the trigger.
Blood splatters over my face as his chest stops moving up and down.
I stand back up.
"Don't leave yet, there are probably more outside. I'll give a clear when you can go" I tell the others before I run upstairs.
I run to the roof and immediately see all the members who were welcome to this event outside with the rest from the Swiss' who are in that mafia, pointing guns at the others.
I speak in my earpiece to dad. "Go back inside and leave trough the front door, I'll set up a distraction and make everyone than leave, especially the kids. Lock the front door behind you and stay back to lock the door when the Swiss follow please. After that go to the front" I tell him.
Immediately my father starts to get everyone inside again as I take out a small bomb.
I'm going to make this go off so that their attention will be on this for a few seconds which will hopefully give enough time to our mafias to run back.
I throw the bomb as far as I can before it goes off and takes a small amount of Swiss' with it.
Faces turn to look there except for our people who immediately go back inside.
The Swiss' follow after a few seconds but the front door is already locked before they can get to them.
Cars quickly leave and I know the Swiss will come out to the back door again but luckily my dad had listened to what I said as he locks the door.
These doors have heavy security on them, you can't just break them like a normal door.
My dad starts to run back to the front door where the rest of my family is while I set up a bigger bomb which will kill all the members of the Switzerland's mafia at once.
I put the timer on for a minute and when I'm planning to go down to jump out of a window a few levels down I see some Swiss' run to the roof.
Shit.
If I jump from this height I'll die.
I run since I have no other choice to below the front door and see my family.
Behind me are Swiss' who are trying to open the door which I locked together with the bomb.
"Dad go home- the bomb is going to explode" I say in my earpiece.
"No- you're still up there. I'm not leaving without you" he says determined.
"You have to" I cry desperately.
"No"
"Dad, I'm going to jump to other buildings and I'll try to make it but you have to go too" I negotiate.
"Okay" he says as we make eye contact.
I nod my head as he urges everyone into cars.
There is a building next to this one so I'll jump in that roof and than go downstairs.
I can do that.
I hope.
I go back before tearing my dress and taking off my heals.
I start to run and jump on the ledge before jumping to the next building.
I land on the roof of the next building by doing a small somersault when landing.
I stand back up and see that I'm still too high to jump so when I run to the door to get downstairs I notice it isn't open.
I push and kick on the door but it still doesn't open, "dad this building is locked, drive away without me or you'll die." I cry in my earpiece.
"No, there's another building it's far but you can make it try that one."
I do as he says and start to run before again stepping on the ledge and jumping.
Nope I'm not going to make this.
The building is way father than the previous one which I almost didn't make.
With my hands I'm just in time to grab on that buildings ledge before harshly banging against the wall.
A groan leaves my throat as I feel a rib or two break.
Suddenly the bomb explodes and I slip before falling as a scream leaves my mouth.
In this building are windows so I quickly grab myself a few levels below onto one.
A few tears fall down my face, I'm going to die.
I look behind me to see the building I was previously standing on, all on fire.
"Valentina" Allesandro screams from below me
I look down as I feel myself slip harder.
Fuck this is high, this is really high.
Oh god.
"Try to climb down to a few more levels below you after that I can catch you" he says gently.
"I can't, I'll fall" I cry.
"You'll fall if you keep hanging like that but if you try you might make it."
I feel myself slip harder and this time I'm not capable of hanging back on and I fall once more.
"Come on Val, you can do it. Remember what we promised each other" Roman screams from below me.
Luckily I'm able to steady myself on a window once more but the already broken window tears my skin open.
I whimper but I climb lower a few more levels until eventually I slip my foot and fall fully.
I'm not able to grab onto a window anymore nor can I do anything else.
I close my eyes ready for the hit when suddenly I land in soft arms.
"Shh it's okay" Alessandro's voice breaks through me.
With the adrenaline kick stopping I feels everything overwhelm me suddenly.
The previous tears that dried on my cheeks are coming again as Allesandro puts me down on the ground again.
He gently wraps some cloth on my heavy bleeding arms.
Luckily we didn't do this ball in a public place so no one else got hurt.
Roman slowly comes closer to me and kisses my head.
Alessandro and Roman than help me back to the car before we quickly drive off.
I'm shaking as the adrenaline high from before fully goes away.
Oh god
The second I step foot in the limousine, my father wraps his arms around me.
"I love you Mia figlia, thank god you're alive" he mutter into my hair before my mom hugs me.
After my mom my brothers all individually hug me.
I sit down in the limousine with Roman next to me as a small sob escapes my lips.
"Breathe, my love. Deep breaths" Roman instructs me as he wraps his arm around my shoulder.
I do as he says while Elijah kneels before me and slowly takes the cloth of my arms.
He starts cleaning the wound before stitching a few parts and bandaging it.
When he's done with both of my arms, I thank him.
"That's okay, are you hurt anywhere else?" He asks.
"A few ribs broke by banging against the concrete walls" I tell him.
He nods his head, "you know how to wrap your ribs?"
I nod my head.
He smiles gently and gives me a small kiss on the head before returning to his own seat.
"You were pretty bad ass out there" Roman smiles.
A smile appears on my face, "thank you and thank you for not murdering that man the second he looked at me."
"Trust me when I say it took everything inside me not to, just the way he looked at you made me want to shred his body apart" he says.
I smile slightly while snuggling my head in his chest once more.
My eyes get droopy so I close my eyes, "Is Matteo okay?" I ask no one in particularly.
"Yeah, he's on his way home now as we're speaking." My mom says.
I nod my head while muttering 'good'.
Roman's arms hug me tighter and as I lie here it finally sinks in to me that we won.
The Switzerland's mafia is gone and everyone is safe.
No one got hurt except for me today which means that almost everything went according to plan.
I smile as I look back up into the eyes of the love of my life and realize that even though my life will never be safe nor perfect- I wouldn't change a damn thing because I'm happy.
This has been a though year and now that's it's almost over I can't help but reflect about everything that has happened.
I lost a friend but she'll always live in my heart.
Me and Roman got together and we went through some hard shit but we made it through everything.
Through our accident
Through my relapse,
Through us losing a friend,
Through everything that had to do with Swiss'.
We made it and I honestly wouldn't change a thing about it because it made us stronger together.
Alessandro and I have had a tough few months but I think that it's going to get better with us. We may never be like we were before but I think that him catching me while falling off a few stories might have done something in our sibling bond.
I got yelled at for the first time in my life by my real parents which was an experience but it sort of also made us stronger I honestly couldn't be prouder to be a Hernandez.
And I couldn't be happier with my life even after everything that had happened because I know I'll always have my family by my side.
Hey everyone,
This is it.
The journey of these two books for the long lost mafia princess is over.
It has been a long process but one I'll never forget.
Not going to lie it was stressful at times, having to upload every day sometimes took a small toll out of me.
I want to thank you all for supporting me throughout this journey and just believing in me in general.
I honestly couldn't have done it without you guys.
Thank you all, I love you and goodbye
Xxx the author.
(I might make a bonus chapter one day)
