-Claude's POV-
"I'm leaving now." was what she said before going in the elevator.
I stood up and went over to the balcony to watch her get inside the car and drive off. I sighed and walked inside her room to grab her laundry and place it inside the washer.
I've been avoiding her for weeks now. I don't know how I was able to do it but it wasn't easy. Watching her be so close to that friend of hers and Charles really riled me up quite a bit but whenever I remember I don't have the right to feel so, I block off those emotions.
I never wanted to be close to her at first. Sebastian explained to me that when she came inside their room the day that I caught her, she changed right in front of them and brushed them off as if they were nothing.
She even asked him to tie her hair up but oddly enough, Caius was attracted to her at first sight.
That was why we didn't like her at first, we didn't want Caius to stray away from us just because of a little 17-year-old girl. It piqued my interest, what made Caius like her soo much. so I assigned myself to be her bodyguard, and the days I've spent with her made me change my own opinions.
But it was all weird, she acted nothing like a girl at her age should. She answers her university tasks as if they were the easiest thing, she could use a bow and arrow like it was her extra limb, play volleyball without a hassle, and pole fucking dance when I checked her background and she should have absolutely no way of learning this.
Many people may say that teenagers could act like an adult but she's different, it's almost as if she really is an adult stuck in that body. Her way of speaking was too sophisticated even if she was being rude, and she had a slight accent that she is trying to hide. A Posh British accent to be exact.
Even her poise was too defined, never once have I seen her slouch.
Everything about her made me question one thing to another, but I adore every bit of it. I want to stop voiding her but if I do then I might not stop myself from falling in deeper. Especially if I'm in my rut, who knows what I might do if she's close to me during a time I have no control over my instincts.
Rosia wanted to have a night dinner out with all of us so Slade booked a reservation and so here we are at 8 o'clock in the evening.
"It's too bad Vincy isn't here, I already miss him soo much." She pouted.
"It's fine, Rosia. There's always another time." Caius smiled while rubbing her back.
"I know..I love you guys so much!" She pecked his cheek.
I can feel my eyes twitch, I never liked how touchy she is. I always wondered how Sebastian became best friends with her when this is her attitude. I suppose she is nice but it irritates me how much physical affection she wants from us.
She stood up and dragged Caius to take some pictures with her. We followed them from behind because Caius still wasn't feeling too well because of the previous days.
My phone then rang, I opened it and saw that it was Valentina who was calling me, she never calls me for anything unless it was important. I was about to pick it up when Rosia snatched it away from me.
She then pressed the reject button. I glared at her and tried to ask politely, "Rosia, give me my phone."
"Mm..Nope. who called you anyway? Valentina? Come on, she's already a big girl. You don't need to attend to her all the time." She playfully rolled her eyes but I just want to gouge them out.
"Rosia, just give him his phone back." Raven sighed.
"Nooo." she then ran.
"Give me my damn fucking phone." I griped. She flinched and then turned around, "I-I'm sorry, oh here she left a voice mail." She laughed awkwardly and pressed it. She pressed it without my approval, what if it was fucking private! I yanked her arm and tightened my grip on her wrist to make her let go but then the voice mail already played.
"Uh- Claude, Hi so I think I might have gotten the wrong flight and landed in Regensburg, Germany instead. *sigh* It's a long story but I'm currently at the hotel of the person who was supposed to be on the flight and her name is Gisela Fischer."
"What the fuck? How is that even possible???" Demetrius cursed.
"I might stay here for the night but I hope that I could get an upda-" Then a loud slam could be heard in the background.
"The fuck? Wha- *sigh* Look, I don't care who you people are but get the fuck out of my room. " And the worse thing I could ever hear at that moment rang when two bullet shots were fired and the voice mail was cut off.
"Did that...No..Val- Valentina...she can't.." Caius muttered, his face twisted in a broken laugh.
I dialed her number again but it didn't go through, then Charles called me.
"Sir, there's something wrong. Miss Valentina is supposed to have landed but we have a different woman here instead, Her name is Gisela Fischer and she has been freaking out ever since she was taken in for questioning saying that he will kill her. We are trying our best to track Miss Valentina's location but there seems to be wiretapping that is not letting us find her in wherever location she is at present." He hurriedly reported.
"Search for a hotel in Regensburg, Germany that is booked under Miss Fischer's name."
"..."
"We found it, it's called Nachtnebel Hotel located on the outskirts of Regensburg."
"Alright, that's all I need to know."
...
-Vincenzo's POV-
"They are currently in Nachtnebel Hotel, Heinrich should be meeting up with the woman who brought the money extorted from the supposed heir of the Japanese Yakuza." My second-in-command and underboss, Ymir reported.
"...Let's wait a few minutes then, once he and his men walk down those steps just shoot the targets associated with the problem. Don't hurt Heinrich, I have other plans for him later on." I stated and leaned on the sofa.
"Will you be ok, Boss? As far as I remember, your cycle-"
"Leave."
"A-Alright, please call me when you need anything." He then excused himself.
*sigh* I puffed out a cloud of smoke and rested my eyes.
"Fuck.." I massaged the crease on my forehead.
Work has been a pain but the events that happened in just a few days really are a headache. All just because of a little princess...*exasperated sigh* Fuck it all. Just why is she stuck in my mind?! The worse thing is it's not only me who's bothered by this but the rest of them are as well. Are we fucking sick??? It's fucking disgusting that I look at her the way that I do when I'm 10 years her senior.
(A/n: Reality check:: Valentina aka Ivy is actually 24 turning 25 years old. Technically she's older than Caius by nearly two years and is about the same age as Slade. The reason why she is so mature is because of her life story [wait for more details in the future chaps] so it wouldn't be a wonder why they would be attracted to her. ;D )
*knock* *knock* *knock*
"The fuck is it?!" I berated.
"Boss! There's an odd activity between the soldiers of Heinrich! They suddenly split up and ran out separately in different entries. Some even carried suspiciously human-sized large bags. "
(Soldiers = The subordinates that is at the lowest in the mafia ranking)
"Why would they do tha-" My brows knitted in confusion when my cellphone rang. I checked the caller ID and it was Claude. That asshole would never call me unless it was important or about Caius.
"What is it?"
"You need to go to Nachtnebel Hotel immediately. Room number 46 which is on the third floor and find Valentina. NOW!"
"..W-why the fuck should I find that girl? Have someone else fucking find her." I was about to put the phone down until he explained to me why.
"She's not supposed to be in fucking Germany goddammit! Her flight is to go to Italy but she somehow switches with a woman named Gisela Fischer. S-she left me a voicemail and someone entered her room, right before it cut there were two gunshots. I can't get ahold of her. God fucking Damn Vincenzo! Stop being a fucking dick and just find her! Please.." His voice broke.
"Ok."
"YMIR! ORDER THE ONES BY NACHNTNEBEL TO HEAD THE FUCK IN. DO IT FUCKING NOW!" I yelled and ran down to my car. I drove as fast as I could and when I arrived at the hotel. It was as shabby and shitty as said.
"B-Boss, the room is-" I pushed him away and the stench of blood filled the air. I could still catch her scent inside the room but there was nothing but blood. Too much blood that the only outcome would be death.
"Boss, why are we here? Aren't we supposed to kill the associates???"
"Look for Valentina McKenna. Check the surveillance camera, and find where she is. If there is no body then there's still a chance." I griped.
"I have the surveillance footage! Boss, you need to see this! "
It was the security camera inside the room, I didn't notice that my breathing was hard until I saw that it wasn't her blood on the floor. As long as she isn't hurt- WHY THE FUCK DID SHE FUCKING JUMP FROM THE THIRD FUCKING FLOOR?!
"She's safe. She's run towards the back alley but it looks like the soldiers of Heinrich are searching for her."
"If you meet any of his men, kill them. Go."
Little Princess, is this your way of revenge on us? If it is, then it's too cruel. You are planning on murdering us with this. Just wait and I'll find you, so just stay safe. Please...but, I doubt you'd stay put.
