The atmosphere that greeted her the minute they entered inside the hall where the event was held was questionable.
There was a pin drop silence immediately they took notice of who just came into the hall, everyone's head bowed down, scared of looking at her and Luca as they stepped in.
This made her notice the influence and power Luca had,who exactly was he to make everyone fidget and feel intimidated just by his mere presence.
How powerful is he to inflict such dominance on everyone present?
Yes,she knew he was in the mafia,but if she could still remember he was not the only mafia lord that was present here,so why does everyone feel afraid to look up at them.
She turned to see the proud smirk on his face as he glanced through the b hall to see everyone with their head bowed.
He derived joy at the sight in front of him,they should be after all,it was a rare occurrence to have 'De Beast'in their presence.
He would always bring peope to their knees wherever he went, because was their fucking God.
Anyone who dares to question his authority would only end up losing his or her life or that of those precious to them.
His men were at his back,were busy scanning around the hall,talking to each other through the comms,they looked serious doing that,before Natasha noticed the stare of one of his men on her.
She noticed the way he stole a glance at them with every chance he got and would always roll his eyes at her if they shared eye contact,he doesn't like her.
She figured.
But that was his fucking business, because she was getting interested and more intrigued to know their boss after seeing how powerful he is,she just prays his boss doesn't end up killing her here to say if things goes wrong.
"Welcome to my world precious"Luca leaned in to whisper this to her,smiling when he noticed the way her eyes lighted at his statement.
Which was unlike her,some seconds ago she was afraid of going in here with him and looked afraid but now with the admiration towards the scene gave him the idea that his Carina loved this.
She might fail to realize this but she loved the danger, because if she didn't,she would have thrown a tantrum and attempted running away for her safety.
Which made him wonder why the sudden change in her?
What was going on in her mind?
"If it isn't Luca Marchetti,Mafia king of the underworld"A handsome looking man who had his hand entangled with that of a pretty lady who was smiling approached them,with his men following behind him.
Natasha noticed the changes in Luca's expression and body language the minute the man walked up to them,she saw the way he clenched his jaw and his eyes turned dark which made her notice he wasn't on good terms with the man in front of them.
Who was this man that got a reaction from Luca?
They were enemies.
She knew this,the man had such a beautiful smile but that didn't hide the darkness in his eyes,just like Luca,he had this dangerous aura emitting off him but that didn't make her flinch.
But the coldness and darkness within him couldn't be compared to that of Luca,Luca was worse than him.
"Antonio"Luca's darkness impaled cold voice called out to the man, stretching out his hands for a handshake towards him.
"And who is this beautiful woman …''Antonio teases but his conversation was cut off by the threat in Luca's voice.
"Eyes off!" Luca said,knowing fully well what he was trying to do but heaven would only be his witness if he dared to approach or try touching what belongs to him,because he won't relent in releasing his wrath upon him and his city.
"I'm Natasha White"Natasha introduced herself,getting annoyed at Luca who was doing so well in making her a potential threat to other dangerous men here.
Does he know what he's doing?
Getting angry at whoever talks about her would only make her a bait used in getting him.
Why is he such a powerful man if he couldn't think of playing smart in this type of situation.
"Nice to meet you sweetheart,I'm Antonio
Black,meet my fianceè,Aurora kings"He said smiling widely when he saw Luca tightened his fist when the woman he brought with him spoked up for herself despite the fact that he didn't want her identity to be exposed.
Feisty!
Antonio instantly got attracted to her.
"Congratulations on your engagement"Natasha told the lady besides the man who hasn't uttered a single word since she came here with her man.
Rather,she was stealing glances at Luca, who noticed it and chose that moment to remove a strand of hair away from Natasha's face and pecked her forehead.
Natasha smiled when he understood what he was doing,what she would do to have Luca stop touching her anytime he gets the opportunity to do that.
He was clearly not against pda.
"How About we leave the girls to get along,besides we have business to talk about?"Antonio suggested, throwing a brief glance at Aurora who had her head bowed not looking at him which Natasha found creepy and suspicious.
Was she not happy about her engagement with him?
Was he forcing her because she hadn't managed to keep an eye contact with him since they stood here.
She disliked Antonio immediately when she got the hunch of what was happening here,it was so obvious to everyone that the girl was here against her wish.
Was this what Luca was going to do to her?
No,Luca was different.
He was not like Antonio,unlike Antonio,Luca had told her and tried as much as possible to seduce her into accepting his proposal about being his woman.
So,he wouldn't be such a jerk to go against her wishes.
"I will be right back"Luca shifted his attention back to her,his back turned to Antonio as he cupped her face,then whispered something in her ear using the distraction to place a button in her hand.
"Be good for daddy"He smirked when she understood what he did,his baby girl was so smart like him,she didn't question his reason for what he just did because she knew what situation they were in.
He turned to give Ethel a sign which she noticed because he left Antonio with his men following their boss behind,leaving her alone with Ethel and Aurora.
Why did he leave her with the very person who seemed to dislike her among all his men?
"I know you,"Aurora said, diverting her attention back to her."Wait,aren't you the fallen princess?" The girl asked more like mocked.
Okay,she might have thought wrong about the girl.
She's far from innocent.
