-This chapter is I Crystal's POV-
What's going on? I do not understand much about the mafia, but the little time I have spent in Nicklaus' building, has been so hectic, and non incredible like I had thought. But one may say, I have been happy all along. At least I get to be protected and here taken care of. Because everybody wants me dead or alive. But only one person wants me alive.
There was noth I could do about it. I have to stay close to Klaus. Klaus, I like the shorter version to be Klaus, unlike his sister and every other mafia family, who preferred to either call him either 'Boss','Fantasma' or 'Nick'.
But I liked the Klaus better, it sounded like him. At least to me.
And me running away from people, people who want me dead or alive, and people who actually wants to protect me.
The question is;
Where did I go wrong?.
The question repeats itself constantly at the back of my head as I stepped out of Klaus' newly washed, black shimmering Bugatti La Voiture. That he had named 'Bora'. Which was quit not his style.
Sure it was the shit-load amount of money placed on name. But then, it has more meaning, at least that is feeling I am getting.
Perhaps because she was the one who had brought these upon herself?.
The dream I had last night in Klaus' room was not a good one, it felt so real I could not seem to understand why it felt like I was really present at that moment.
Perhaps I was regaining my memories bit by bit?.
Yeah that could be it.
I could not help but try to replay the dream in my head again.
The sound was bothering, I could see myself walking down a dark hall, I was not wearing perfect clothes like I am in Klaus' house now.
I was dressed in what seemed like filth. I walked in a living room and met a woman and a girl half dead with black men in suits, I was not able to see their faces clearly....
"Ah.." It was me who made that sound, and I interrupted these unknown men...
"Oh such a little beauty we have here".
"Excu_excuse me, who are you?"
"Loan sharks"
"Now you fucking tell me where the fuck your shit head father is hiding or I blow your fucking skull"
"M_my father never tells me anywhere he goes, I swear I know nothing about him"
"Guys! Take her.Boss would be pleased with this."
"Yes take her, she knows a lot about dad. You can have her. Crystal you have to pay for us to live" The girl I could not see her face clearly answers. It felt like she desperately wanted me gone.....
"No no. Do not take me away. I am innocent, where did father go to?. Sloane speak. Won't you?. Are you all going to watch me taken" away like this?" .....while I was begging for my own life.
"What? After all the things this family has done for you?. You are educated and benefits from our wealth. Father even gave you a place to lay your head, and here you are not able to pay him back?. You are so ungrateful". The girl replies.
"Fine!. I will save your fucking ass and leave this hell hole. All you guys do is make me your slaves. Keep being the Fucking bitch, that you are. And guess who the ungrateful bitch is?. It's you.! Fucking bitch".....
Wow, that really hurts, I grabbed my head at once.
"Are you okay?. You were screaming some weird things like fucking bitch!.I had to stop you".
Arianna who was now standing.by my side said, her hands on my shoulder as she helped me stand straight.
One thing I realized from the dream was the real me!. I was a badass!. I was not the quiet one every person would think I was.
I was a real bad ass.
I could curse that much?. I must have hated that girl so much. It was sa pain I could not see her real face, the face of the second female, she looked like a woman. But I could not decipher what she was like exactly.
I just hope I get a clear memory next time.
I watched Klaus as he scanned me worriedly, Grayson carrying the same look.
It was not a convenient decision, but it was worth it. At least that was what he hoped, Klaus, to be precise,is a man with wits. He had decided that we move into his house here in Italy, where his father, our own enemy, uses as his own abode.
That was highly ridiculous when he suggested it, but Grayson agreed to it. So I clearly had no say in it. I was the one they were all risking their lives to protect. So who was I to refuse?.
If it was staying under Vincenzo's roof, then I would. As long as Pakhan, the Russian Mafia could not invade Vincenzo's territory, else he wanted his fall in not yet due time.
Vincenzo, the man was just described as a the devil himself.
And I cannot wait to meet the devil. Pun intended.
I stared at the legendary gigantic Rosario building, these was the Rosario's home. Built in the heart of Italy. For the first time I was able to enter the Rosario estate,and was able to step on the freshly manicured lawn, my head tilted to the left as I stared at the gigantic Rosario home.
Yeah,they carried money,they stink if wealth,and these is just the explanation of wealth.
"Holy cow,wake me up". I sqweeled as I stepped into the house, through the two massive double doors that led into their home.
I was not prepared for these though,but I could still take it in, I focused on the drive way before me. It was paved in a tan bricked design, a large, flowing fountain right in the middle of the circle. And on the right was another large building, a tall and White painted bricked massive building.
These was all too much, there were different cars each by their brands, situated neatly on the driveway.
I gaped at the view of the large house, I glance back at Nicklaus to find him very close to me, every other persons, Arianna, Alejandro and Grayson are already in the house. Seeming that I was not yet ready to walk In because I was not done taking in the beauty of the Rosario home.
"You look quite cute while gaping everywhere. I couldn't get my eyes off you Crystal." Was Klaus' comment. What was happening?. I had expected a very different reaction from him, because of my childish behavior. But these new behavior of his , these behavior he has adopted whenever it's only us, it is so new and overwhelming, it gave me goose bumps.
And I don't know how to react to them.
"Um_ are you gonna take me in or_". I replied trying to change the topic but was surprised when Klaus cupped my cheeks, and whispers, "You Know, there's something about you I can't seem to figure, not too long since you came into my life, I have came to understand more about my empire and my mafia family".
I leaned in his touch and whispers back, "Within my deepest darkness, we met like destiny". I whispers in his ear..
He whimpers,it is soft, very low but audible,and enough to make my second guess.
"You bring light in my darkness too. You make me realize what it means for a king to have a queen by his side." He answered.
And within seconds, he captured my lips and ravishes them, I could feel his deep feeling, what he was trying to pass on and pour out in our kiss, multiple affections, his care, his want, his need his struggling...all in our kiss, bringing tingles to my belly. If I was feeling overwhelmed before, then right now, these feelings are so new to me.
Adrenaline rushing through my veins. He was a good kisser, I did not know if there is my first kiss but Klaus made me feel like all these are new. Like he has wanted these to happen and now he is putting his everything. I allowed him, he was seeking for entrance, I did not wait before allowing him slide his tongue in my mouth, his ringed tongue tastes so minty and metalic.
My head feels so foggy, I could not think straight, things are getting intense, Klaus gripped my waist suddenly then swept me off my feet, I quickly wrapped my arm around his neck for support. Klaus did not let go, I could feel him beginning to walk away from where we were and in no time he was climbing some stairs, me still in his arms, he tripped making us break apart a little, Klaus growled and cursed, uttering profanities. I could, only here some, "fuck, shits, hells bells and blast it". They all did not add up though but it sounded funny to me. That I didn't realize I chuckled.
"What?". He asks as soon as we entered a dark room.
"I_um, do you think these is right?". I asked curious, I did not know what these feelings are, but they felt so new, and he was reacting to every if my movements too every now and then.
I shifted slightly, my ass brushing something hard beath me. "Fuck, Amore what are you doing to me?". Klaus says, his voice so deep and husky.
Those seven sentences makes my insides dance, he was good at it he really is.
