I snuggled more into the blanket that is wrapped around me and immediately felt a wet nose nuzzling to my cheek. "Ugh! Ruffle quit it. Let me sw..eeeep." I groaned pushing him away but he continued to do what he was doing before I felt my blanket being pulled slightly exposing me to the cold.
"Fuck Ruffle! What has gotten you all ruffled up?" I cursed looking at Ruffle as he continued to pull the blankets with his teeth. I groaned seeing even if I shout at him he won't stop and jumped off the bed. The walls of this room are alight gray colour, theirs a large bed in the middle of the room and infront of the bed is the door and a large TV mounted on the corner on the wall and the marble floors.
Ruffle barks running to the windows and immediately jumped taking one of the ropes and pulling it so that he could close the curtain causing the bright sun light to lighten the room. "Fuck off!" I muttered at him going to the bathroom and freshening up as I heard him bark. No doubt he will be waiting for me, his so stubborn.
I did my routine morning clean up and got out from the bathroom all refreshed wearing the sundress my mother gave me and as I said I found Ruffle all snuggled up in my bed sleeping. Of course he would wake me up so he would have the whole bed to himself.
His so clever.
I made my way down stairs smelling the wonderful auroma of bacon and fried eggs making my stomach to grumble a little. I see my grandfather reading a newspaper in the living room and run towards him plopping myself next him and giving him a hug. "Grand papi have missed you soooo muuuch." I drag the last words as I pout a little causing him to chuckle a little as I let him go.
"My sweet Katerlina! How have you been?" He asked in his rough voice. "I'm much better that am with you." I said wiggling my eyebrows and he laughs leaning closer, "tell me you have ruled the whole of London." He lowed his voice and I brought my arm slamming on the couch armrest, "with an iron fist, all men bow to me." I said proudly raising my head high trying to make a void face
"That's my girl but tell me do they look much better than your grandpa here?" He asked puffing his chest a little and I looked at him as if am checking him out. "They aren't even close to you, you're waaay handsome." I winked at him giggling a little making him to chuckle deeply before he coughed a little.
I frowned seeing his face has also paled a little before I poured for him some water so he could drink. "What wrong? Are you sick?" I asked him rubbing his back slowly and he shook his head, "just a little cold but this old man can handle anything." He tried to act joyfully but I sensed his voice is also weak.
"I heard coughing and I came as fast as I could." I hear a soft voice chirp and I look up seeing a brunette young woman make her way towards us holding a glass of water and I think medicine. She has light brown eyes while small freckles dotted her upper cheeks towards her small nose and from the confident strides she's taking towards us I immediately knew who it was.
"Felenope?" I called out shocked from how much she has grown and how beautiful she has become. She looked at me and for a second she looked confused before she recognised me. "Oh my fucking shit! Katerlina! Your freaking alive?" She shouted almost falling the water she was holding before my nana grabbed it saving it from falling. "Be careful Fel, your grandpa needs the water more than you know." Matilda scolded her but she wasn't listening because she rushed towards me hugging me.
"Oh freaking shit! You're really alive." She looked at me happily before she replaced it with an ugly scowl. "Am I the last person to find out your fucking walking?" She looked at everyone in the room and my grandfather immediately grabbed his newspaper pretending to read because it's upside down while my nana immediately walked away.
"Grandfather! Stop pretending that your reading that shit because your not." Felenope growled and before my grandfather could talk she turned the newspaper to the right reading position and my grandfather chuckled nervously while I giggled. "I can't imagine am the last person to know your bullshitting around."
"Actually, your not the last. Your twin doesn't know." I said innocently and her scowl deepened making you to scurry away immediately. "You know that's not the real point here." She says giving my grandfather his medicine and turn to me, "I thought you were dead, twice!"
"To make things much better none of them were my plan, I actually found out after my burial."
"No shit about it! Where have you been? Why didn't you even consider visiting me or calling me or even saying a hi." She rambled over and I pulled her to sit down. If only she knew which mess am into. The only reason I haven't even reached out to my relatives is so they won't be messed up into this business.
"Everything happened so fast, so I couldn't contact you for your safety plus I missed you so much." I pouted my lip a little opening my arms for a hug and she rumbled lowly before she accepted it.
"It's lovely to see the small reunion but Felenope, you have to take Kater for shopping." My mother spoke up as she came towards us making both of us to groan loudly. "Why aunt? I hate shopping? Plus Katerlina is a grown woman she doesn't need a bodyguard to be with her. Just send one of your maids to grab those shit for her."
I nodded with every sentence that Fel said and my mother frowned sitting beside my grandpa. "You shouldn't trust people in your clothing plus I want you to show Kater around the city. I could do that but I can't because I have to take care of your grandfather." My mother said running my grandfather's arm making him scowl at her. "Am not fucking sick, its only a small cold so stop exaggerating child."
"Don't child me, dad. You know your not as strong as before, now you have weak bones and weak organs, so you need 24/7 observation."
"Hey, am not a weaklen, am fucking strong woman!" He grumbled making me to chuckle as I saw them bicker around. "So Fel, its settled your taking Kater for shopping and that's final." Fel groaned looking at me while I just shrugged knowing I won't be able to change my mother's mind.
"Where is Dani? And am fucking hungry." I grumbled loudly checking for Daniella. "Am here miss!" Daniella grumbled checking out the baggy dress she's wearing making me chuckle, "I guess your joining us for shopping."
"This fucking shit!" Dani cursed looking at her dress as she searched for a place to put her gun.
After two hours of shopping and stopping in every villa we found, Fel took me to see most of her favourite places where we heard lots of fun because we're making a lot of mischeive even though we are freaking grown women now. I also met her boyfriend, she almost made me envious of her even though I felt a badboy vibe from her boyfriend his awsomely cool.
"Where did you meet Dave?" I asked her as we made our way towards the front door and she giggled a little, "in a fighting arena"
"Fighting arena? Wow you do have crazy ways of falling in love." I mocked and she punched my arm playfully before her eyes sparkled, "do you wanna come with me tonight, fuck it's gonner be fun." She said happily and I immediately agreed wanting pull up some steam.
"Fuck yes! It's gonner be fun maybe you'll find your lover there too." She said wiggling her eyebrows and I shook my head brushing passed her. "Mother! We're home and am fucking hungry!" I yelled as some men passed past us bringing our shopping bags inside for us. I faced Daniella seeing her usual alarmed face is slightly relaxed.
"Did you have fun?" I asked her nudging her side and she chuckled nodding her head. "Thank you for the clothes."
I didn't a pssst sound telling her it's no sweat. "I heard hungry and home so I brought some cheese burgers." I clapped my hands plopping myself on the couch as my nana set the plates for us. "Fucking shit! I was so hungry." I mumbled devouring the sandwich and Fel looked at me as if I grew horns.
"What?"
"We just ate hotdogs and corn dogs on the way and your still hungry." She asked amazed and I took a huge bite of my sandwich, "if you don't want yours just bring it, I have a huge appetite today." She shook her head eating her sandwich.
****
We eventually get to the Santa Maria as the rich darkness of the night surrounded us. I stepped out from the car and inhaled the clean air. "Fancy place." I muttered as my guards followed me inside. It only took a few words from Daniella to the bouncer at the door for me to jump the queue.
I made my way inside. The ceilings were high and although the place was spacious, people crowded around. I walked straight for the bar as people moved out of my way. Their eyes were set elsewhere as they avoided my gaze, I bet the information that am a Valkov already spread the entire place.
I tapped on the counter of the bar. A bartender scurried in front of me and smiled widely. "What can I get for you?" He asked as he cleaned a glass with a towel. "I'm looking for Felenope Ferrari."
I came here to meet Felenope so we could watch some matches but I can't seem to see her. She only to me to alone because she already got here earlier. Upon hearing that name he pointed towards the back of the casino. "She's watching the fight in the private booth." He said.
I didn't miss the subtle way his voice wavered a little, I guess she has a reputation here. After making my way to the booths, I saw Felenope in the far corner with a blonde hair dude, no doubt it her boyfriend. I headed over with my guards still following behind. As I stepped into the booth, Fel's eyes flicked over to me. She smirked as she didn't look away.
"Ah fancy seeing you here, Kater." Dave smiled widely his voice coming out gruffy no doubt he was smoking. "Hi, Dave." I greeted him sitting opposite from the both of them. "Do these guards always follow you everywhere?" Fel complained eyeing the men who stood near the booth and I shrugged my jacket off ordering a cocktail.
"My brother is quite over protective. When he found out I was in Spain, he sent half of his men to guard me." I rambled on remembering the aurgment I had with my brother a few hours ago. "You mean your step brother, Roman?" She asked and I nodded my head. "Your life is so complicated." She mattered and I chuckled turning my attention to the fight.
"So, Kater what do you think of my fighting arena?" Dave asked and I looked at him a little confused, "you own this place?" I asked him and he smirked nodding his head. "Well, damn. This place is extravagant, I like it." I said pressing my lips in a thin line as I felt the bitter liquid burn my throat.
Dave is a tall well built man. His muscles were exaggerated by his T-shirt and leather jacket. His head was full of neatly tousled dirty blond hair. His face was sharp and defined with light stubble. He was a handsome man indeed.
"Oh! Finally you've returned to your own blond self. That dark brown colour was making you seem like a different Kater." Fel said excitedly eyeing my hair and I roll my eyes pushing some strands from my face. "Well, my mother kept nudging me about it and the only way to shut her up is by dying it to it's natural colour." I ran my finger through my freshly dyed back hair.
"You look wonderful with that colour." Dave complimented me earning him a nudge from Fel as she threw daggers at him, before he could defend himself the loud shrill of a microphone filled the air.
"Our winner! Pitbull!" The announcer boomed. The room erupted in cheers. I scowled as I looked at 'Pitbull' in the ring. The fight was pretty pathetic and dirty. I've seen better. Pitbull grabbed the mic from the announcer who looked taken aback. "I heard that the princess of Valkovs is here so I challenge Katerlina Valkov." His rough voice silenced the room as everyone turned their attention to me.
I held my steely gaze on him as I put the joint to my lips. I nodded my head subtly. Daniella moved to the front of the booth. "Don't challenge her!" She threatened on my behalf.
Pitbull fucking laughed. He laughed into the mic. Is he fucking crazy? He must be mentally unhinged challenging me, let alone challenging me at the Santa Maria. I fucking hated his guts.
"Are you chicken Valkov?!" He chuckled widly. A mad man. That's it, I've heard enough. No one calls me a chicken. I'm going to fucking rip his throat out. I growled as I shot up from my seat. I threw my blunt onto the table and shot daggers at the man. "I'm in." I said camly even though my blood was boiling but I remained controlled.
He looked at me surprised. That's what you get you fucking ass. Did you think I was going to walk away. No, not me. Never. In the corner of my eyes I saw Fel looking at me. She was wide eyed, however this time it looked as if her eyes were going to pop out from her head while on the other hand Dave's expression was much like mines.
I cracked my neck as I made my way down towards the ring. Daniella was right behind me, clearly she dissaproved of what I was about to do. But I needed this. I loved the thrill and my rage needed an output and Pitbull was the perfect candidate.
I smirked as I stepped into the ring. Blood stained the floor and the air was ripe with stench of sweat. Disguisting. Pitbull grinned as his nostrils twitched in anticipation. I took off the hair band I had on my wrist and tied up my hair into a slick ponytail and gave Dani my pistol that was in my waistband.
I was biding my time. Toying with Pitbull. He breathed heavily through his nose as he showed a strong dislike for me. Ugh! I guess he has a history with my family. I smirked as I looked at the testosterone fulled wrestler in front of me. He was built like sumo and his huge muscles were fake and there was no denying he was addicted to steriods. He was also not very clever and I wondered if his thick skull was occupied by a brain at all. I highly doubt it.
"Come on you fat shit, let's get this over with." I chuckled darkly as I stared at the man. My stare unnerved him as he stomped on the floor like a child. I grimaced internally as I noticed he only wore short trunks. It was incredibly tight on him and showed off his lack of balls.
Pitbull grunted as he took few steps towards me. I didn't attempt to move. The announcer quickly intervened and stopped him. "Go on. Announce the fucking fight." I growled to him. So he did. "Valkov verses Pitbull!" He announced, "the rules ar-" I cut him off as I grabbed the mic from him. I paced the ring. "No rules. We fight to the death." I smirked as I caught Fel's eye, her panicked face was replaced with an amused one.
"What do you say, you dog?" I teased Pitbull earning a low growl. He was riled up and angry. And angry makes mistakes. He bodded as he put his fists together. The leather arm bands he wore stopped proper circulation of blood to his hands not that I cared. I licked my lips as I threw the mic onto the floor behind me.
I faced Pitbull. He made the first move as he came lumbering towards me. The ground shook at his every step. What did this fat shit eat? I made no attempt to move and only did so when he threw a punch at me. I dodged his punches.
He attempted to grab my legs but I was quicker and instead punched his side. I crack was heard as his rib quite possibly broke. I threw a punch and jabbed his neck. The air was knocked from him as he stepped back. I felt a drop falling down my cheek. Upon touching it with my hand, I saw that it was my blood.
My rage threatened to explode. He threw another punch and this time I grabbed it with my hand. "Sweaty ass." I murmured. I used my weight against him and tossed him to the ground, hard.
He chocked as he struggled to get up. I pussed the heel of my boot to his neck. "I expected more from you. What a disappointment."
I slowly pushed my heel deep into his fat filled necked. He chocked on his blood as he grabbed for my leg. I pushed harder until I heard bones crack. His arms stopped flailing and he remained unblinking. His chest stopped heaving and blood pooled around his head.
I removed my foot out of the boot, leaving it in his neck and took the other one off. The whole place was quiet as they daren't know what to do.
Slow clapping filled the air as I turned to see who was doing so. It was Felenope. She looked amused as she stood beside Dave. Suddenly, the rest of the room started to follow suit. I closed my eyes as I clenched my jaws. I held up a hand in the air. The room was silent once again. "Jodidamente vergonzoso comportamiento. Desafiarme no serà tolerado. Moriràs, joder. ¿Necesito recordarte quién soy? (Fucking disgraceful behaviour. Challenging me will not be fucking tolerated. You will fucking die. Need I remind you of who I am?)" I growled into the mic in Spanish as I looked around the room and saw faces of pure fear.
Beautiful. My gaze stopped on Felenope. She smiled as she translated what I said to Dave because his an English man. I made my way back to the booth and slumped into my seat. Dave excused himself and left the booth. I waved Daniella away as she attempted to wipe the blood from my cheek. I instead did it myself and tapped at my skin. "Enjoyed the show Fel?" I smiled.
"She crossed her legs on the coffee table and smiled widely, "you looked like a badass but next time it will be you verses me." I narrowed my eyes for her and nudged her shoulder with my own. "Don't be so excited, I won't show mercy." She did a psst sound as we watched the next fight.
