Chapter 24
Luciano
Luca and I make it back to my office. “Okay, lay it all out for me. What the fuck happened?”
“Two bombs were detonated this morning, one in the VIP, the other in the girl’s dressing rooms. Luckily no one was in there at the time, but it did cause a whole lot of damage. Then there was this” Luca said as he pulled up an imagine on the laptop. On one of the dressing room mirror pieces, written in soot read “You have something that belongs to me“.
“And how do you know it was Angelo?”
“Well, this is where it gets even weirder“. Luca pulls up another file and plays a video. It appears to be one of the cameras from the back of the club. Angelo walks into the frame, and he doesn’t look to be trying to hide as he stares straight at the camera and points. A few masked figures come into the frame and snap the camera off the wall. The picture shows Angelo pointing the camera at his own face and then turning it around to show the bombs he’s clearly placed detonating. He then walks the camera into the building, into the girls‘ dressing room through the debris. and to a mirror where he writes the note and the video feed cuts.
“What the fuck? He’s running from us for how many years and now he just shows up like its Sunday church, blows my fucking club and tells me I jhave something of his?”
“Yep, Luca says, popping the ‘p
“Right well, this just made for a fucking day, Put your big boy pants on Luca and get the whisky. We’ve got a lot of work to do.”
“I thought these were my big boy pants“, he grumbles as he leaves, hopefully to get the whisky.

I’ve showered, eaten, taken a nap. Now I’m just bored. It’s been hours since Luciano left. Fuck this. I’m going to explore. I turn the handle of the bedroom door to leave.
“Ahhh!” I shout as I come face to face with yet another overgrown male. Relying purely on my instinct I reach up and punch him in the throat and drop his ass to the floor. It’s then that 1 realise he’s one of Luciano’s men.
“Fuck! I’m so sorry, you scared me! Are you okay?!!
He coughs and splutters for a minute until he can breathe again.
I take a moment to look at him, really look at him. He’s fucking gorgeous. Short brown hair, green eyes, he’s bigger than Luciano by a bit. His body screams dominance but that smile screams safety, and he smells like musky cinnamon
“You really are a violent little thing, aren’t you?‘ He says as he laughs and brushes himself off.
“I’m Topy, one of the Don’s most trusted and now, your bodyguard.”
“I don’t need a babysitter.”
“Clearly not, but here we are. So, I’m guessing you’re bored? Because I certainly am after standing here looking at this wall for half a day.”
“Ha, yeah. What’s there to do around here?”
“Ah, well, for a normal female I would have no clue, but for you… There’s a gym.” He says with a smirk.
“Are you saying I’m not normal?”
“From what I heard from the guys that were at Ronaldo’s, and from the way you just dropped me in a second nat, you most certainly are not and I would be very entertained to see you in action. So.. gym?”
find and change into some workout clothes and follow Tony through the giant maze of a house to the gym. Which is massive by the way, I’m certain I would get lost in a place like this if I tried to go anywhere alone. Theres a few guys lifting weights and they look at me curiously as we

black sort of deal?”
“So, Tony…you want to have a go in the ring with me or are you just going to stand there like some creepy men in b
He smiles wide.
“Well technically I’m on shift and I was assigned to protect you, not to hurt you, so unfortunately, no, I can not play with you, but Ricky over here is free, aren’t you Ricky?”
He points out one of the guys who was in here, who physically pales.
“I can’t fight her man, look at the size of her! and Don will have my bloody head!”
“The big bad Don will not have your head, because you won’t be able to land a hit on me, I give him a wicked grin, egging him on.

other guy next to Ricky nudges him and says,
vs, “You should of seen her at Ronaldo’s man, she’s a fucking weapon.”
“Pfft, that little thing?” He bites back “Righto, game on.”
I spend the rest of the evening putting Luciano’s men to shame. They all agreed on a training level of light, so hits were kept to a minimum force, and it was all determined on strategy and moves. I created a lot of attention, as there was about 30 guys that just seemed to appear from nowhere and they all thought they were better than the rest until I could prove to kick all their asses. Tony was having the time of his life has he video’s his friends getting taken down by a ‘violent little thing.
“What the fuck is going on here?” Luciano’s voice booms and everyone stops.
“I’m showing all these men front seat tickets to the floor, 1 beam back at him.
He laughs hard and all the guys seem to let out a breath they were collectively holding.
“Alright angel, time to let the guys lick their wounds. You need food, and I need you.”
I blush at his lack of filter and let him whisk me away as I give a cheeky wave to the guys who look like they’ve been through hell and back.
I glance at Tony before we leave and his eyes sparkle with something…I don’t know what that look is. He gives me a smile and a wink with a mock salute before the door closes.
