Chapter 3 - It's Over

/Riccardo's pov/

I thought clubbing would relax me, but God was trying his best to do the opposite. Out of all the clubs in the city she chose to come here. Wow, just wow. I saw her leaving with her new boy toy. She is crazy. To be honest, I was disgusted to see them. I mean, what are they trying to do? Were they gonna fuck in the middle of the club? Anyways I have to focus on my baby. She doesn't like clubbing since she is very decent but she came so I wouldn't be alone.

"Babe are you okay?" for some reason she seemed annoyed. Is it because of her? Don't tell me she got jealous.

"Who is she?" she asked. I knew it. Damn, you, Eliana! You have ruined my day.

"Someone I want to see in jail," I replied making her more puzzled. I smiled at her and pecked her lips. She giggled slightly

"Let's go. This place just got boring," she pouted making me chuckle at her cuteness. She didn't lie though. Thanks to someone it got boring.

"You're right. Let's go," with that we left. I took her to her apartment.

"Wanna come in?" she tilted her head

"Babe, don't you think I deserve to rest?" I asked making her blush like a tomato.

"Okay, good night then. Drive safe and text me when you reach home, okay?" she playfully glared at me.

"That's my line, okay?" I jokingly told her. She nodded and went inside leaving a soft peck on my lips. I love this girl. I sighed and drove to my home. I text her when I reached home. Then I took shower and went straight to bed. But someone decided to not leave me alone for today. My phone rang and it was a face time. I knew she wouldn't leave me alone even if I switched my phone off, so I picked up.

*O.T.P

"What is it this time?" I was holding my curses with my breath. She covered her camera so I couldn't see what she was doing. "Could you please stop your childish games," I was very tired of her.

"Oh, come on babe, it's a surprise," she said before revealing herself. She was wearing a normal hoodie and there was nothing special about her. "Tada," she spread her arms happily.

"Have you gone crazy?" I asked as I felt myself getting exhausted from her.

"What? Don't you like my surprise?" she pouted in an attempt to look cute.

"What surprise are you talking about, Eliana?" I rubbed my face in frustration.

"I'm sleeping alone," she came closer to the camera before saying, "So are you," she finished her sentence with a smirk.

"And?"

"We can do whatever we want," she wiggled her brows removing her hoodie.

"Can you stop?" I closed my eyes not wanting to see her disgusting body. I could hear her laugh.

"Why?" she questions mockingly.

"Don't you have a fiancé?" I tried to remind her.

"So?" she questioned like it wasn't a big deal stripping in front of a man when you have someone.

"So stop doing all of these just to piss me off. Have some respect for his feeling, for the love of God," I spat angrily making her laugh even harder. I knew I couldn't stand her anymore so I hung up and switched my phone off. I then drifted to my dreamland thinking about my love.

*Next morning

I woke up when my alarm went off. I rubbed my eyes and went to the bathroom. I freshen up and went downstairs to eat my breakfast. The maid Miss Nancy has already made the table. It looked like she was serving a prince. She made a lot of food even though she already know I won't eat all of it.

"Good morning Mr. Mancini,"

"Good morning to you too Miss Nancy," I hugged her and sat down to begin my breakfast.

"Breakfast is ready," she announced when I already saw it was there. But I didn't mind being reminded.

"You made a lot. You know I won't eat all of it right," I complained.

"I want you to eat a lot, sir. I know you don't eat much so I want to make sure that you are healthy. You know your mom always..." I cut her

"I don't wanna talk about her," with that I started digging into my meal. When I was enjoying my breakfast, I got a call from one of my colleagues.

*O.T.P

"Detective we have the search warrant you asked for," he sounded excited. Well, who wouldn't be excited to arrest the Mafia Queen Eliana Álvaerz Cassidy?

"Great!! I will be right there," with that I hung up and rushed outside. Miss Nancy was confused because of my actions. But this warrant is really important to me as we have been trying for months to get it.

**at the police station**

"Where is the warrant?" I asked my colleague.

"Here," he gave it to me.

'I hope this time you will be in jail.' I thought.

*Eliana's pov

It's been a really good day. Today I decided to give myself a little rest because why not. I am now giving myself the best quality time because I deserved it. But someone decided to ruin my quality time.

I went to the door and open for my biggest enemy. I can't believe he is the one who ruined my precious date with me.

"What are you doing here detective?" I smiled at him. "Did you miss me after last night?" I questioned seductively.

"Here," he gave me the search warrant. I read it and it said that they have to check my house because someone has filed a complaint against me that I hide drugs in my mansion. It was not a lie, but still, it was offensive to take my precious date.

"Come in then. Make yourself at home," I said slightly backing away. They went inside and he smirked at me victoriously. I simply stared at him and scoffed.

After they search for almost 30 minutes they found something.

"Detective look at these," one of the officers told him.

"What is it?" Riccardo asked.

"They are powders. We have to do a further investigation," he replied. Riccardo turns to see me.

"Care to explain?" he asked me.

"I don't know what they are. My friend brought them here," I replied, looking straight at him.

"You don't have any friends," he said, which made me put my hands on my chest dramatically.

"Ouch, that hurts,"

"Anyways, we need to ask you a few questions, so you should come with us to the police station,"

"Sure. Let me grant that one wish of yours," I smiled at him and went to their car. While we were driving, I could see that Riccardo was looking at me with a satisfied smirk.

"The game is not over yet,"

"Trust me, Eliana, it sure is. We found the cocaine you have been hiding. That will put you in jail at least for 3 years. That will help me gather all the evidence I need to see you die in jail," he said with a little bit of anger in his tone.

"Are you sure about that?" he didn't answer, so I went closer to the driver's seat and then whispered, "It's not over until I say so," I winked at him then l went back to my seat.

"It will be over soon when I see your lifeless body in jail," he winked back at me.

"Good luck, Detective. I hope you will enjoy killing me this time," I murmured while holding my tears back. He was too busy celebrating his pre-victory that he didn't even realize my reaction. "I want to call someone," I announced, bringing him back from his joy.

"Why?" he frowned at my requirement.

"I know my rights damn well, Detective. I have to tell my fiancé about this. And I want to call my lawyer," I elaborated. He sighed loudly and handed me his cell phone.

"Just mind your business," he warned as he opened the pattern for me.

"Whatever," I said as I proceeded to call my Fiancé.

*O.T.P

"Hello," he said in his deep voice.

"Hello, Love,"

"Amorina, are you okay? Why are you calling me with another number? Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, I'm going to a police station. They found some powder inside my house, and they assumed that it is cocaine," I explained like it was nothing.

"Jesus, I'm on my way. Stay strong for me, okay? I will be there before you even know it. Just try to calm yourself down," I heard him closing a door.

"Thanks," I hung up, handing Riccardo his phone.

"We are 'assuming'," he mocked.

"Excuse me," I raised a brow.

"Do you seriously think that we are 'assuming'? It's over for you, Cassidy! You should have said goodbye instead of wasting his time with your bullshit," he advised, making sure that I felt like a loser.

"Are you jealous, Detective? Cause if you are," I leaned closer to his ear. "You know you can take me from him," I smirked, making him annoyed like always.

"We're here. Welcome to your end," he looked outside the window as we arrived at the police station. He harshly held my wrist and took me to the investigation room.

I was having a panic attack remembering my horrible past. It was hunting me. The scenes kept replaying in my head as I perfectly remembered what had happened. It was my biggest nightmare that I never wanted to face again. My tears kept falling, and I kept wiping them. I didn't want to show my biggest weakness to my biggest enemy.

'Let's do this, Eliana. You are not weak, Eliana. You are a Mafia. MAFIA Queen. You remember the first rule in the mafia world, right? Be strong. Be strong. Don't you dare cry!' I talked to myself.

*Riccardo's pov

I saw her kinda trembling. I assume she knew it was the end for her. Well, it is. Now that I got the chance to get her in jail, I'm sure I will never lose it.

"Ready for your payment, Eliana Cassidy," I whispered near her ears. She just looked at me with her teary eyes.

I was shocked when my eyes met her teary ones. For the first time, I saw fear in her eyes. That's what I wanted to see. But to my surprise, I wasn't satisfied. I wasn't happy, nor did I want to do this to her anymore. She looked scared like she was about to face her biggest fear. She wasn't like this. She was always the tough girl. I didn't see this side of hers. But I know how good an actress she is. So I dropped all those thoughts and walked her to the investigation room.

'Your game is over, Eliana Álvarez Cassidy,' I thought.
