Escape

Chythia's pov

It's been a year since I last saw Luciano. He escaped when I was in a meeting with my second command because our drugs were stollen by the Italian Mafia, in the night I first saw their boss. I wasn't surprised because I knew that Luciano had information about my arrival in Italy, and now all the people who betrayed my mafia, are now dead and in the Black Sea where they belong. they were tortured until they told me the truth.

Luciano wanted to steal me because I was supposed to be his wife. I had no idea that his people wanted to have a Mafia Queen next to their King. He wasn't an option for me because I didn't want anyone to have what is mine. I worked since I was ten years to be the best Boss they could have. To rule over these people who are now my family. They saved me in the moments I thought that my life was going to end. When I was taken by other powerful people who only wanted to see me suffering like a little rat in their basement. I was punched many times and kicked but didn't take my desire for revenge.

They thought that if I am a woman, I don't have power. Those little bitches now know that the next time their life will be taken by my gun or knives I only wear under my costume. It's so unfair that we are underestimated by the other gender, which thinks we'll always be at their feet. In the Mafia are a lot of women, especially mine because we are equals to men.

Luciano was a mistake and I still curse myself because he escaped from my roof, from the place I called "home". Next time he won't do that, and I don't care what I'll do to destroy him and his stupid Mafia. I am not a coward when it comes to my people, I am a lioness who protects the souls who have joined my world.

Now I was in my office looking at some files about Luciano's last locations. The Ball was coming and all the Mafias were going to meet like we are not assassins, killers with cold blood, but simple people in fancy clothes with manners and with a big smile on our faces when we talk with our enemies. I loved dancing until I met Luciano, and the moment we danced I knew my life was in danger and I couldn't risk being near him again, but seems that my life is betraying me too.

"Dobroye utro! Boss, Aleksei is here and has some news about the Italian Mafia." my second command said. I couldn't see his face because this room was always dark, as I like. ( Good morning!)

"Let him in, Radimir. And next time knock at the door or call my assistant. I don't like when people enter this room without my approval. Vy znaete, chto proisoidet, esli vy narushite moi pravila." ( You know what's going to happen if you break my rules.)

"Understood, M'am. It won't happen next time."

In the office appeared Aleksei dressed all in black as our uniform was. He had in his arms a folder with all the information I wanted. He gave it to me and I opened it with all my curiosity because I've been waiting for this moment since Luciano escaped. I put on one of his shirts which is now wearing. There says he is now in America, near one of my houses and my excitement was growing because the Ball will be in three days in that state.

"Spasibo, Aleksei!" Since I first met him, I've never heard a single word from him. I took him to doctors across the world, but all of them said that's nothing wrong with his body. I knew Aleksei had a hard life before we collected him from a dungeon, saving him from death. I never sent him on a mission because he is a close friend of mine and a great adviser.

I am not as bad as all the people think about me. I have a heart too as others, but in my world, I can't show it so much because I'll be seen as a weak leader.

Now I need to call some men to deliver me guns and knives because I don't want to be surprised again if Luciano has in his mind to steal and make me his fucking bride. I will slit his neck if he tries something that could hurt me. Time is all I have now, and the Ball will be the moment Luciano will know he made a mistake one year ago.
