Recap:
"We have to leave tonight"
He said exhaustively, before he walked out. I was still in shock, I can't marry him, this is like throwing everything I have worked hard to build into the trash.
What have I gotten myself into.
BLUEY'S POV
I couldn't help but feel suffocated, angry and furious, so many thoughts ran through my head, up till now I couldn't get a grip of what was truly happening, this morning I was a Celebrity living the best of my life tonight?
"Tsk tsk" I'm in a car with a stranger heading to God knows where.
And there he was seated in the darkest corner of the car, like an ice block, so cold yet domineering, who he was, still remained a mystery to me, but I could tell from the his associates that he was no ordinary man.
He was busy typing away on his laptop like his life depended on it, It was like I didn't exist in the car.
"Hmph!!" I turned to look out of the window with a heavy heart.
Few minutes later The arrived at the airport, I couldn't help but cursed under my breathe when I saw the luxurious private jet, if he thinks I'll be going anywhere with him, he's dreaming.
"Get down, we need to board the plane". He said calmly.
"I am not going anywhere with except, you plan on dragging me in" I retorted angrily.
He stared at me for a while then picked me up in a bridal style
"Let me go, this is illegal, help!, someone!, anyone!" I screamed at the top of my voice.
"You can scream as loud as you deem fit, but no one is going to come for you" His voice came hovering over my head.
"You'll pay for this, once you are arrested I will make sure you stay in jail for the rest of your life" I screamed in anger as he carried me into the plane.
"You have a sharp tongue and that's not good for you princess". He said dropping me on the plane seat.
I quickly fastened my seatbelt immediately the pilot announced for take off.
"Where are you taking me?" I asked my voice full of resentment.
He gently looked at me, I couldn't help but feel lost in those brown orbs.
He bit his lower lips slightly, "Italy". He replied starring at me with a stoic expression, I think he's someone who's very good at hiding his emotions.
"Is there something on my face?" I asked confused due to his intense stare.
"No" . He replied huskily.
"You look twice as beautiful as I could remember". He said staring into space.
"I can assure you that we haven't met before, this could be a case of mistaken identity". I said calmly trying to reason with him.
He snapped out of his trance, as he continued with his work like I hadn't said anything.
Anger, so much anger with no way to vent, I took my eyes off the arrogant man, as I decide to get some rest, I have had a very stressful day, with what's happening currently, I'm really surprised am still sane cause it's a lot to take in, I'm just gonna sleep then whatever happens next...... well I need to rest.
The trip to Italy was a look one and it took 7 excruciating hours, I was awoken by the horn of the car, then it dawned to me that I was already in Italy heading to the man's residence.
"Make sure everything is ready, I'm almost at the estate". I heard him say.
"Where are you taking me Mr" I said with a hard glare.
"Lucian" he said
"What?" I asked confused.
"The name is Lucian not Mr, micino" Lucian said
"I will call you whatever I want" I snapped
shortly after we arrived at a tall gate with the words "Genovese Estate" boldly written on the top of the gate.
There laid a beautiful female statue in the center of the compound, the estate was so beautiful and Luxurious, I have had my fair share of wealth but this right here screamed Luxury and it also had this dark energy around it, there where guards everywhere paroling with guns and security dogs, the moved as if there were robots with no emotions, the car finally drove into the garage, and I was amazed by the flits of cars from different brands ranging from Lamborghini, Porsche and many more.
Who is this man, and did I ever mentioned about putting him in jail for the rest of his life?. I could only gulp down nothing.
"Have you gotten used to my arms already?" he asked with a smirk
I hissed and got down from the car, several men walk in some dressed in Armani suit while some dressed casually yet so good looking, my mind couldn't help but wonder off to my band mates, Gia if she was here she will be drooling.
"Don" . They all greeted with a bow, what is this why so much respect is he a god?. They turned to me and bowed in greeting I looked away immediately.
"Don, you had a stressful day, I think you should get some rest first before the meeting" one of the guys said, and I quickly recognized him as the guy I saw at the hotel.
"We'll start the meeting right away, Enrico, show her around the estate" Lucian said walking away in full strides with his men, leaving behind a young man, dressed like a rock star, with his hair dyed green.
"Enrico" he said with a wide grin.
He looked friendly though but I wasn't going to let my guard down, I need get out of here soon and fast.
"Bluey" I said with a frown. And followed him into the large building.
The interior design of the mansion, was very elegant, and had an Italian and Spanish design, everything in the house was luxurious, though I have seen so many luxurious mansions this one in particular topped the charts, the maids where careful dressed, working seriously.
"Let me give you a quick tour round the estate" Enrico said with a smile.
"What's this place, why is it so heavily guarded, who's your boss" I said in one breathe
"Calm down, Chica take a deep breathe" He said smiling widely.
"You are not going to tell me what I need to know right?" I asked devastated.
He shrugged; "Well can you please show me to my room, I had a long day"
"Okay then, this way Donna" He made a gentleman posture.
I need to carefully draft out my escape plan, I thought following closely behind quietly observing.
ITALY••••
LUCIAN'S POV
"How's the business in the casino going?" I asked going through the files on my desk, due to the present situation in the familia I had to call for an emergency meeting to put certain things in place.
"Boss...Boss"
"You are stuttering Rafael". I pointed out coldly meeting the gaze of my men that sat around the conference table.
"There was a shoot out at one of the casinos and someone important got shot". My second in command Rafael replied.
"What happened to your men, I don't want any shootouts happening on my tuff, they don't get paid to be lazy" I said angrily.
My name is Lucian Marcello Genovese, 25 years old.
Being born into the mafia family comes with a lot of responsibilities, and this is just one of them, my father was murdered because of the business and now I have to take over, thinking about taking over, my mind couldn't help but wondered off to the fierce little lady.
"I'll take care of it boss" Rafael said with a bow,
"I'll be getting married in a month in order to take over, I need everything in place before then"
"Yes boss" the men choruesd.
"Meeting adjourned, the rest can leave, Rafael stay". I pointed at my right-hand man.
Everyone left leaving Rafael and I in the conference room.
"You finally brought her back" He said with a smile.
A flit of emotions quickly flashed by and disappeared immediately.
"Yes, after so many years" I said looking down at the files before me.
"What about my uncle" I asked coldly.
"He has been behaving well for a while now" he said
"That man is as cunning as a fox, keep a close eye on him" my lips curled into a smirk.
"Okay boss". He nodded.
"You may leave"
He stood up and walked towards the door but paused with his hands on the doorknob.
"What about Tilda boss, I believe she'll soon receive the news of her arrival" Rafael said his voice full of concern.
"Tilda is just an associate nothing special" I said looking away.
Rafael looked at me one more time before walking away I guess he had more to say.
GENOVESE ESTATE
A middle age man could be seen smoking widely staring lustfully at the luxurious pool, just then a beautiful slim curvy lady emerged from the water, walking carefully each step she took elegant and classy.
"Uncle!" She said smiling gracefully as she exchanged cheek kisses with the man.
"Matilda" he said kissing her beautiful manicure hands.
"What brings you to this part of the estate, uncle" she said sitting next to him with a towel now wrapped around her body.
"I miss you, isn't that enough reason to pay you a visit?" he said with a sly smile.
"Oh please Antonio Genovese, we both know that's a lie". She winked at him.
He could feel a rush of excitement, he knew this beautiful lady before him was as deadly as she looked, Matilda Rizzo, daughter of the most trusted man of his late brother, she has been involved in the family business since she was young and never failed a mission.
"I've got both good news and bad news for you, so which one do you want to hear first". Antonio said raising his wine glass at her.
"What game are you playing, Antonio, let's hear the good news first, if we start with the bad news, I might not have the appetite for the good news". She said raising her wine glass at him too.
"Good news it is. Luciano is back" Antonio said with a wide grin.
"He's back?". She said excitedly.
"Why didn't he call me" She said with a cute frown.
"Maybe he's busy, you know Lucian is a busy man" Antonio said with a knowing smile.
"I don't like that smile, what's the bad news" she asked feeling uneasy.
" I'm not done with the good news yet bambina" he said grinning.
"He found the girl, he has been looking for"
"What?" She shouted in dismay.
"How, is that even a good news?, I thought she was dead, why now that I have almost grasped his heart, why?" she shaked her head in disbelief.
"What's the bad news" she asked coldly, her previous excitement gone.
"He's getting married to the girl in order to take over as Don"
"Why her, she doesn't deserve to be the Donna" she stood up to leave but stopped.
"What's your gain in all this uncle, we both know you want to be the Don"
"Guess" He said laughing widely.
"Shit!" she cursed walking way
'she should have stayed dead'
BLUEY'S POV
"Let me show you around, Donna" Enrico offered.
"Bluey, the name is Bluey" I said with a slight frown.
"Okay". He raised his hands in defeat.
I followed behind listening to every detail as he talked about each section of the estate.
"This is the dinning room, it's just for you and the boss".
The dining room was elegant, with a long table, I guess he has a large family, then he showed me to the kitchen, then the flower garden, I couldn't help but marvelled at the beautiful sight.
'Who could have thought a bad man like him would have such a beautiful garden'
"He's not a bad man Bluey, when you get to know him you'll see it" he said with a small smile.
"Did I say that out loud?" I said laughing dryly in embarrassment.
"Duh huh, he kidnapped me from my concert, and brought me to wherever this is, to me he isn't just a bad man but a cold one too" I said with an eye roll"
Enrico just shook his head helplessly
"This garden belongs to the boss mother, she loves gardening, no one is allowed to enter without permission.
"Oh the big bad wolf has a mother" I said with a smirk
"That's mean Bluey" Enrico said.
"I don't care okay?, he brought me here without my permission, I don't even know him, for all I know people might be out there searching for me, but here I am kept against my will" I retorted angrily.
"Calm down, Bluey"
"Please don't tell me to be calm, I don't think I can take this in any further, please show me to my room, I need to rest" I said looking away from him.
Enrico stared at me for a while before uttering "Follow me".
We walked through the hallway before stopping at a door, there we met a young girl standing with her head down dressed in a maid uniform.
"This is Sylvia, she'll be your handmaid from now on"
"Good evening, Donna" she bowed respectfully.
'What's with these people with the Donna thing it's creepy'.
After the introduction, Enrico left.
"This is your room, Donna" Sylvia said has we made our way into the room. It was big, beautiful and luxurious with the walls painted in black and grey, it had a Spanish and Italian design yet so modern, just my kind of colour, with a king-size bed, she showed me the bathroom, which had male shower gels and toiletries I didn't think much of it maybe they didn't know I'll be here.
"What's your Boss like" I asked
"Donna?" she replied confused.
"Call me Bluey" I said with a smile.
She looked so frightened when she heard that, her eyes filled with fear, I felt comfortable with her, I have a good feeling about this.
"I dare not, Donna" she said with her head down.
"Com'on Sylvia, it's just the two of us" I said gently.
She remained silent for a while, I almost gave up when I head her little voice.
"How about, Miss Bluey". She said.
"Works for me" I said with a smile
"You can leave now, I'll call for you when I need you" I said walking into the bathroom.
The bathe water was already heated, I went in to take a bath to calm my nerves, the shower gel smelled like sandalwood mixed with lavender, a masculine scent yet soothing.
"Shit!" I cursed when I realized I didn't bring the towel into the bathroom, I walked out of the bathroom into the bedroom to get the towel.
"What are you doing here" I screamed in fear when I saw the second person in my room.
BLUEY'S POV
"What are you doing in my room" I screamed in anger trying to cover my body with the towel.
"Your room?" Lucian asked amused.
"This is my room". He continued, his eyes trailed from my wet hair, down to my pink plump lips finally at my white spotless skin.
Bluey was really the goddess those pictures online didn't do enough justice to her beauty.
I felt nervous under his heated gaze. Pervert" I cursed loudly making him to look away immediately.
"Can you you show me to my room now?" I asked in annoyance.
"We're going to be sharing the same room since we'll be getting married soon" He said unbuttoning his shirt.
I was stunned when I saw the flawless skin beneath his shirt, how can one be so handsome and sexy at the same time. The male models have worked with in the pass are nothing compared to him.
"Seen enough?" He asked with a smile.
"What? I....I won't marry you" I stuttered in embarrassment as my cheeks stained pink.
"Are you blushing?" Lucian teased
"No of course, I'm not" I replied hurriedly.
"Your clothes and everything you need are in the wardrobe". I heard him say as he walked into the bathroom.
'That was so embarrassing' I made a mental note to control myself when I'm around him.
I couldn't help but gasped when I saw how big the walk in wardrobe was, and the beautiful dresses, shoes and bags in it, there were different popular brands in the wardrobe ranging from dior, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Fendi and many more.
'Will this even size me ' I wondered putting on the dress to my surprised it fit perfectly. How did he know my body size, maybe he must have guessed. I hurriedly took a short green floral dress pairing it with black heels, and tied my hair into a simple bun.
When I walked out of the room Lucian was already dressed in a black causal outfit,he looked so handsome in whatever he wore, his dressing sense was as dark as his personality I thought with a snort.
"You Know I'm all yours to stare at" he said with a smirk.
"Keep dreaming" I replied with an eye roll.
"Can I have my phone back now" I asked annoyed.
" No, I'll get you, a new one" He said tiredly opening his laptop to work on the sofa.
What do you really want from, I'm not the one you are looking for, why don't you get it" I cried out in frustration.
He raised his eyes, staring at me for a while then looked away.
"My mum will be joining us for dinner tonight" He announced calmly.
"Oh, so we are on meeting parents terms now?" I mocked which he remained silent.
After a while, Lucian received a call and left the room.
"Miss Bluey" I heard Sylvia call outside the door.
"Thank God it's you, Sylvia" I said dramatically.
"Miss, Dinner is ready and the Madam is around" she said worriedly.
"The madam?" I asked confused.
"That's the boss mother, Miss". She said.
•••••••••••••••••••••••
There was a beautiful middle age lady seated on the dinning table, she looked like the older female version of Lucian, I didn't need anyone to tell me, who she was.
"She does look better than on TV" I heard another lady mocked.
The other lady wore a red flashy dress with a high pony tail giving out the bad girl vibe, seated opposite Lucian's mother.
"Patricia!!" The middle age lady called out warningly
"You are so beautiful, no wonder Lucian wants to keep you all to himself" She cooed with a smile.
"Ma'am" I said a with a nod.
"Have a seat dear, call me Mrs. Grace" She smiled
"Bluey" I said with a smile.
She nodded and continued; "This is my youngest daughter Patricia"
"Do you think my brother loves you?, he only needs you to claim his position as Don" Patricia smirked.
"Once he's done with you, he'll throw you back to where ever you belong" She smiled out playing with her well polished nails.
"Patricia!!!!" Lucian thundered angrily.
"Boss..." She stuttered.
"Apologize" He said coldly
"Mother" Patricia called, her voice shaking in fear.
"Don't let me repeat myself, Patricia" Lucian said his voice getting colder and scarier.
"I'm sorry, I was rude" Patricia said her eyes full of resentment.
"It's okay" I replied in a flat tone.
Patricia looked away immediately in annoyance, I ignored her, I wasn't ready for any family drama.
Lucian took his seat after exchanging cheek kisses with his mother, the chef came out serve the dishes, I was kind of impressed by the different types of Italian dishes, I was shocked when I realized that half of it were my favorite, what a coincidence, I thought.
"Figlio" Grace called in Italian.
"Today's dishes looks.... different" She smiled.
"Maybe the kitchen decide to do something different" he said calmly.
The chef quickly looked at the boss in confusion,then continued serving the dishes, 'wasn't he the one who specifically called to inform the kitchen what to prepare?'
I was famished already and decided to dig in without a care of the world, maybe if his mum sees this she'll be dissatisfied with me, and I might get to go home, I smiled with a plan already in mind.
"Slow down dear, no one is taking the food from you" Grace said with a sweet smile.
Lucian looked at me, with a look that says ' I know what you're trying to do' but how does he know, maybe am just overreacting.
We all ate the main dish in silent, then his mum broke the silence over dessert.
"Have you fixed the date for the wedding ceremony?" She asked calmly.
"It will be held on....." Lucian was saying when he was interrupted by a sharp female voice.
" Lucian!!!!!!" She called out sweetly.
