EVE
My heart can't stop racing.
I am literally seated in the backseat right behind the Don who is driving this exotic car we are in.
Mario is seated in the passenger seat and Carlos is behind him and next to me.
My eyes can't stop moving to the front view mirror every minute. I can see the Don's face, but his gorgeous eyes are covered with his sexy dark shades.
This man is so handsome.
Drop-dead gorgeous.
Though the dark shades added to his sexiness, I wanted to see those beautiful gray eyes so badly.
And this close.
He is focused on the road, his arm resting on his window and the other is on the wheel.
The way his tattooed hand is moving on the wheel makes me jealous.
I want to be the wheel right now.
Call me crazy, but that's what I want.
I want to be twirled by him for the rest of my life.
Looking at him right now, my wet dream from last night repeated in my head continuously.
The way he held my legs and kissed one of them while holding my gaze was insane!
I rubbed my palms slightly on my laps, getting turned on by my thoughts.
Oh, sweet virgin.
That felt so real to be a mere dream. It felt so real.
I would kill to make it come true.
God, Evelyn. You have completely lost it.
You have gone psycho.
Geez.
Don't forget he is married. He literally had sex with his wife last night.
You freaking witnessed it.
My heart tightened, making me move my gaze to the window.
He is married, Evelyn.
You can't have him. It will never happen. And he doesn't even like you.
Don't forget that.
You only saw him in your dreams because it is going on in your head.
I let out a sigh, staring at the passing bushes. This road is too private and silent.
Same with the car. It is silent and....
"Is that Luciano's car?" Mario asked, breaking the silence.
I thought too soon.
Mario looked between his dad and the road, making me look ahead.
I saw two black cars and a few men from afar, blocking the way.
My heart picked up.
They can't be my parents' murderers, right?
No they aren't.
I don't have the tracking device on anymore and Mario seems to know them.
The Don is not even bothered like Mario and Carlos are.
He looks relaxed, driving nonchalantly.
"That's Luciano and Neo," Carlos said, making me look at him.
He is looking at the road.
Mario scoffed. "The nerves of these bastards. I guess that fucker, Neo, got the message from Mimi," he said, looking at the Don.
The Don was still relaxed, moving his hand on the wheel as he drove closer to the people blocking the road.
He slowed the car and stopped a few steps away from the men blocking our way.
My heart pounded in terror as I took in the appearance of the men. They are all dressed in black suits.
One looks older than all but seems to be around the Don's age.
He must be Luciano. And I guess he is the boss, judging by the way he stood out from the others, and others are behind him.
Others are younger-looking. I wonder who is Neo?
Who are they?
"Let's have a little chat, Don Morelli!" the older man said aloud.
Mario scoffed.
The Don moved, attracting my eyes. He is taking out a black gun from a spot close to the wheel.
Terror filled me.
Mario and Carlos took out a gun from their pockets.
Oh God.
My pounding heart increased its pace. .
Are they about to have a gunfight? They are just three of them. They are outnumbered. How will they win?
"Tell your little friend to stay in the car," The Don spoke for the first time without looking at anyone as he opened the door to get out.
Wha....
"Evie," Mario called, making me look at him. I sensed Carlos getting out of the car too.
"Stay here, okay? Everything is alright. Don't panic," Mario said, giving a concerned look.
I nodded as he got out of the car.
I shifted on the seat nervously as I watched them. The three of them stood in front of the car, facing the other men.
My eyes rested on the Don. I can only see his backside and I think he is saying something to the man.
I can hear the sound of their voices, but I can't hear them clearly.
What is going on?
Why did they block our way?
I hope they don't have a gunfight. There will be a lot of bloodshed.
But those strange men don't have guns with them like the Don and Mario do.
This must be a harmless discussion.
I think I am going to get out of the car.
No, no, Evelyn. The Don said stay in the car.
Well, he didn't tell me himself. He literally told Mario to tell me. Like I am not right behind him.
Don't forget what he called me. YOUR LITTLE FRIEND.
A scoff left my lips.
Thinking of it now, he calls me that all the time. Little friend, little girl.
I shook my head as I watched them.
This discussion looks peaceful. They have been talking for a few minutes now. No gun fights or anything.
I am getting out.
I moved and opened the door quietly before getting out of it. I closed the door quietly and looked ahead.
I instantly locked eyes with the man I thought to be Luciano.
I froze.
"Well, well, well, who do we have here?" he asked with a weird voice as he smirked at me in a disturbing way.
I felt disgusted by him.
The Don looked my way over his shoulder.
It felt like a scowl.
Regrets washed me instantly.
"Evie," I heard Mario call, making me look at him. He is looking at me with worry and concern.
"Wow, Mimi didn't tell me you have a new addition to the family, Mario," a young man next to Luciano (Neo) said with a smirk, claiming Mario's attention.
"Say my cousin's name one more time, bastard," Mario dared, glaring at him.
The young man scoffed nonchalantly.
"Easy, Morelli Junior. We just want to know who the little pink flower is," Luciano said, smirking.
"Exactly," the young man said.
"Get out of my way in one piece, Luciano. Don't make me repeat myself," the Don warned in his ever-commanding tone.
Luciano chuckled.
The young man joined.
"Funny, huh?" Luciano asked him.
"Very funny, dad," the young man said.
My heart kept pounding.
"Alright, fine. I will get out of your way under one condition," Luciano said.
"Which is?" Mario chipped in.
"I am talking to your father, young man. Don't interrupt," Luciano said and looked at the Don. "So...."
"Answer his question," The Don retorted.
"Of course. Hand over the little barbie," Luciano said, looking at me with a smirk.
What?
My legs weakened.
"And I will get out of your way. And maybe stop pestering you and your son since we have a delicious-looking lollipop to share," Luciano added.
I felt more disgusted.
"That's not going to happen, you fucker," Mario snarled angrily.
"Watch your tone, Mario," the young man said.
"Fuck you, Neo!" Mario sparked.
Neo took out his gun. Mario aimed his gun. The men behind Luciano and Neo took out their guns too.
I took steps back as the sudden commotion started.
I heard gunshots, making me let out a scream as I shielded myself.
My heart sank into my belly as the gunshots continued.
I sensed a car coming from behind.
I didn't know when I turned, and I saw someone aiming a gun at me.
I froze in terror.
But something happened in a flash.
Someone instantly pushed me down, making me close my eyes and let out a scream as my back met the ground.
A terrified whimper left my lips.
I felt the person on top of me as I sensed him shooting at something ahead of us.
Slowly, I opened my eyes.
To my greatest surprise and absolute excitement,
It was the Don.
