Chapter 17

I woke up by someone poking me on my side and saw Stefano leaning over me. "Time for training princess." He chuckled. I quickly get up groaning as I walked to the closet taking some clothes with me to the bathroom. I slip into some blue sports leggings, a cut-out back blue tee, and black and white Adidas trainers. I put my hair into a high ponytail and walked back out to where Stefano are still waiting on me. I follow Stefano to the back where the girls are waiting for me.

"Okay, now that everyone is here let's start with stretching then five laps around the house." Isabella smiled gaining a groan from the rest of us. Luckily I'm used to running so this isn't too bad except for the fact that Johnny's house is big. We got some water after running and Vittoria start showing me some hand-to-hand combat.

"Alright, I think Alessia is ready to fight Ciro." I hear Johnny say behind us.

"Wait, what?" Camilla asked shocked just like me.

"She needs to be ready for whatever happens, now Ciro and Alessia will both of you step forward?" Ciro took off his white shirt, only his six-pack, and tattoos on display. Ciro takes his stand and before I know what hit me, he knocked me out under my feet. I fell hard on my ass.

I groaned getting up, "Idiota avresti potuto avvertirmi". (Idiot you could have warned me).

"L'unico idiota qui intorno sei tu. Ricorda che nella vita reale il tuo avversario non ti avvertirà." (The only idiot around here is you. Remember in real life your opponent won't warn you.) My eyes widen when his legs come toward my face and I quickly dodge them. I try to throw a punch at him only to get my hand pressed against my back in a very painful manner.

"You are too eager to attack, you can't just throw a punch. Learn your opponent's next move otherwise you're going to get killed." Ciro whispered in my ear. I lift my feet and stomp on his feet then turn around and knees him in his jewels.

"Puttana, non mi hai appena preso a ginocchiate?" (You bitch, you did not just knee me?). He said groaning while still holding on to his manhood.

The girls and the rest of the guys started laughing. "Go Alessia." The girls started cheering.

"Alright, that's enough for today. Everyone in my office in ten minutes." Johnny said then start walking away.

"Next time I won't go gentle on you," Ciro said glaring at me. Great I just made Ciro my enemy I thought as I watched him walk away. I went back to my room and quickly take a shower to get rid of the smell of sweat. I dry myself and wrap the towel around me, I quickly dress and went outside.

I walked towards Johnny's office when I heard voices behind the door. I hear Jonny's voice and decided to open the door but regretted it as soon as I saw the girls, the guys, and some people I have never met before sitting at a long table. Everyone's eyes turned towards me, "I'm sorry, I will be outside." I quickly say and close the door behind me. I try to listen to what they are saying but their voices were too muffled for me to hear what they are saying but I heard my name.

"Are they talking about me?" I wondered and then the doors opened and men start to walk out. I kept my head down until I saw a pair of polished shoes come into view. I look up slowly and notice Johnny standing there with his arms crossed.

"I'm sorry for barging in like that." I apologize without looking at him.

"Don't ever do that again." He hummed and was about to leave, "I heard you talking about me back there. What was that all about?"

"What happens behind those doors is none of your business." He said and started walking away.

"It's my business if you're talking about me!"

"You are not part of my meetings so you will never know what has been said."

"I have a right to know! Especially if the Mikhas and my parents are involved."

"Fine, get changed I won't allow you into my meetings wearing that." I look down at my yellow summer dress and back up at him.

"What's wrong with this dress?" He turned around to say something but instead tackle me to the ground and then I hear gunshots. Bullets started flying over us and Johnny still cover me with his body.

"Dammit, your heavy". I couldn't help but say.

"Shhh, keep quiet and stay down". Johnny slowly got off me and crawl to the window,

"Dammit his ass look thigh in those pants," I thought and then realized I said it out loud.

"Do you always talk so much nonsense in these situations?" Johnny asked me with a frown.

"Umm.., this is the first time I got into a gunfire battle," I roll my eyes.

"Keep quiet and stay low," he ordered me.

"I'm sorry that I'm talking and distracting you but as you know I'm an ordinary girl I'm not used to this shit." Johnny starts shooting at someone on the outside completely ignoring me when a guy in a mask comes from behind me.

"Shout and I will shoot him," He whispers in my ears. I nod understanding that if I make a sound, Johnny will die and I can't let him die because of me. More men came into the hallway distracting Johnny while the guy behind me started dragging me the other way while I pray that Johnny and the others will be alright and I know that the fate that awaits me aren't going to be pretty.
