5 Chapter 4

Viktoriya's P.O.V

I woke up from my alarm going off. Or what I thought was my alarm. Answering my phone without looking at it, I was greeted by my mother's lovely voice.

"Viktoriya finally! I have been calling you nonstop for the past hour! Anyways get up and get dressed we are going out to lunch. There is someone I would like for you to meet."

Before I could even respond the call was ended. Sighing I got up and rushed through my morning routine. This was going to be a long day.

------

We arrived at the restaurant and the entire car ride all I could think about was what dad had said to me the night before. Was this the guy she was cheating with? And if so why would she want me of all people to meet him? I don't like to sugarcoat shit even when I need to. Sometimes I just can't help it.

Walking into the restaurant and being escorted to the table they were sitting at, I had to force my jaw not to drop. Sitting across from my mother was the most handsome man I had ever seen in my life. What was he doing with my mom?

"Viktoriya, this is Richard. Richard this is my daughter Viktoriya." My mom said as she stood up greeting me and introducing me to the amazing hunk of a man at the table. He stood and grabbed my chair pulling it out and gesturing me to sit down.

"Thank you. It's nice to meet you." I said as I sat down.

"Likewise," Richard said as he pushed in my chair and sat back down.

"Viktoriya, Richard has an amazing business opportunity with your father's company and it felt only fitting for him to meet the entire family and get acquainted." my mother said smiling at me.

I held in my scoff. I am sure he is getting very acquainted with the "family".

I shouldn't jump to conclusions just yet but the way she looked at him made me uncomfortable. Like I shouldn't be sitting at this table.

He made small talk until the food came and it was horrible. The small talk sounded forced and was not in the slightest funny. Yet mother might as well have been rolling on the floor with all the laughter she was letting out.

Again I had to force my comments to stay in my head.

As we ate I regretted coming. I should've told her I had to work or I was busy or something. I felt like I didn't even need to be here because neither of them talked to me for majority of the lunch.

I zoned out completely when I felt my mother's whorishly high heel kick me from under the table. Glaring at her and mumbling curses, I realized I was finally being asked a question.

"Viktoriya I hear you applied to a school out in California is that right?" Richard asked me.

"Huh? Oh yes, right. I did." I said only just now fully paying attention. I hoped I hadn't actually missed anything important.

" There are so many good schools here. Why Cali?" He asked looking at me as if he was waiting for a specific answer from me.

" Well...It is far from home for one. And I would like to venture into the arts. California is the best place for that. It was either there or New York and snow is not for me." I said laughing a little. Me and snow? I hated it.

He laughed with me saying something about his time in California and how much he enjoyed the nice weather. But his eyes held a different story. He held his facial expression the entire time but his eyes changed. As if my answer to his question wasn't the answer he wanted.

As nice as he looked, this Richard guy seemed very suspicious to me. I didn't like the feeling which means I don't like him either. I had made up my mind when I was asked if I wanted dessert.

"Oh. Um...no I am okay." I said looking back at my phone. I hoped it would ring and I could get out of this...whatever this was.

"You seem very immersed in your phone. You remind me of my son A-" Richard said when my mom cut him off.

"Viktoriya why don't you head back home now I am sure you have a lot of packing you need to do and I don't want to keep you any longer than I have to." Mom said. Though it wasn't a suggestion it was an order.

"Oh um. yea I have a lot of packing I have to do. Thank you for lunch and it was nice to meet you Mr..." I trailed off hoping for a last name. I'd google him later.

"Oh, you can just call me Richard, Viktoriya. After all, we are about to be a lot more acquainted with each other. First name basis is fine." He said getting up to shake my hand as I grabbed my purse and went to leave.

First name basis huh?

"Well, it was very nice to meet you, Richard," I said shaking his firm hand. Something about it made me feel assured of my previous feeling. Looking him up would be useless without the last name.

Alessio's P.O.V

"You told me you would get my drugs back!" I yelled into the phone. Guess I have to take care of everything my damn self. Useless fools. I stormed out of the house and into my car. Opening the glove compartment I made sure my pistol and silencer were in there. I'd be using them today it seems.

I drove to the mall and put in my pin number at the back door.

The moment I walked in I heard scrambling and people moving about screaming at each other.

"What the fuck is this?" I said as I walked into the main room. A man was blindfolded and tied to the chair in the middle of the room.

"Boss, he knows where the drugs are I know he does!. He just won't budge." The man had several cuts and bruises on his face and I could see that George had beaten him pretty bad, desperately it seems. Probably trying to save his own ass before I got here.

" George. Get the fuck out of my face before I shoot you." I said calmly. I needed to breathe before I murdered him and left his wife and 2 children in this world by themselves.

He ran out of the room before he could change my mind. I took my pistol out, putting the silencer on.

Shooting the man in the foot I watched him scream in pain.

"I am only going to ask you this once. Where are my drugs?" I said walking up to the blindfolded man and tearing off the blindfold.

He saw me and his eyes widened. He was afraid of me and I knew it. He knew who I was.

"I didn't know they were your drugs! I am so sorry I will return them along with anything else you want!" He cowered in fear trying to move as far away from me as he could. Which wasn't far at all considering the chair was bolted to the floor.

" The location. I want the location and who the fuck you work for. Or the next bullet I fire will go right here" I said putting the barrel of the silencer right between his eyes. He was shaking in fear. How pathetic.

"I-I. The location is um... Oh god, he is going to kill me."

"Not if I fucking kill you first now who are you more afraid of? Him? Or me? Last chance before I blow your fucking brains out. I have given you a lot more leeway than I normally do. My patience is wearing very thin. Talk," I said as I walked in a circle around him. Looking around the room I could see my men staring at me in fear and excitement. But mostly confusion.

I admit I would've shot him by now. But I was really trying not to. I just needed those drugs. They were a very important shipment. If those don't get to my dealers and out on the streets fast, I would lose a shit ton of money. I don't like losing money.

" Saint street. The abandoned warehouse is on the corner. He keeps high security. He goes by Giovanni. I don't know if that is his real name." He said quickly. That name. I have heard that name somewhere before. Giovanni was supposed to be some big dealer in the drug industry. But why steal my drugs if his rank was supposedly so high and mighty.

That only meant one thing. He felt threatened by my presence and more of this was to come. If he wanted a drug war then that's what he would get. I don't like when people fuck with my money.

"See now was that so hard?" I said chuckling a little at the cowering man in front of me.

"You're going to let me go? I won't speak of this! Please I am not ready to die!" he begged and promised things he couldn't give me. Not speak? Sure.

"Then you chose the wrong profession," I said before I shot him right between the eyes.

"Clean this shit up and get my drugs. I want all my men to come back alive you fucking hear me. Don't let this dumb fuck screw with my money because that means he is screwing with your lives."

I looked around the room and everyone stared at me.

"The fuck are you looking at move before I shoot you do the job my damn self. Now do I need to appoint people or do you all know your fucking jobs?"

"Sir...you killed him and he worked for the most powerful drug lord in the state. You've just started a war!" Marc said to me with a scared look in his eyes.

I shot him between the eyes.

"Anyone else wanna act like a bitch and give me information I already know or are you going to DO YOUR FUCKING JOBS!" I said yelling as everyone scattered around to get things ready and clean up the two dead bodies.

This was going to be a long few months if I don't end this quickly.

I sighed walking out of the mall and leaving all the chaos behind me.
