"Oh God." I groaned as I woke up with a sever pain to my shoulder.

Sliding my shirt downwards it then dawn on me that I had been shot. My shoulder was bandaged. Recollection of what happened came crashing back and I painfully sighed. Thank god I was not dead, I thought I was gonna die.

It was a lucky thing I had tried running when jack aimed the gun at my head.

But it was clear to me if I stayed here I'd end up dead.

Flipping off the sheets I went to step off the bed when a female looking exactly as Valentino showed up at my side. She was talking to Sergio then he left after seeing that I was awake.

"W-where's Jack?" I questioned fearing that any minute the man who tried to kill me would come walking through that door, then I'd surely die.

"Who's Jack?" She frowned.

"Jack Segos? The guy that tried to kill me?" I asked her once again.

"Well I think Valentino's has or is taking care of him. There's no need to worry about that man anymore." She explained to which I was a bit relieved but at the same time anxious that Jack might lie and have Valentino kill me instead.

"Try not to get too worked up love. I'm sure Valentino wouldn't like that." The lady smiled coming to sit by my side. She was a replica of Valentino.

"Let me guess, you must be Valentino's sister?" I asked knowing that I was absolutely correct.

Although Valentino had thick black hair, this woman had dark brown hair but both shared the same ocean blue eyes and thick Italian accent.

"You were very close but not quite. I'm his mother Viola Bianchi." She smiled excitedly grasping my hand in hers.

She looked a lot young to be Valentino's mother.

"I know what your thinking. I'm way too young to be Valentino's mother? Well I actually had Valentino while I was sixteen. I'm sure you may not know this but Valentino is only twenty-four. He's very younger than he looks and don't tell him that I told you this. He's embarrassed about his age being so young." She whispered playfully.

Doing the maths that would actually make her around forty years old yet she looked around thirty.

"I'm so glad that Valentino found you and don't worry I will take good care of you from now on. Nothing will ever happen to you." She smiled.

"Gosh your so beautiful! Val is so lucky to have you. I can't believe your father would do such a wicked thing to you." With her word I widened my eyes open out of shock.

Looking around the room I could clearly see I was in Valentino's room to utter shock. How on earth did I end up here?

"How long have I been out for?" I asked her trying to sit up.

"You've been out for almost two days. I also think it's best you rest and not put too much pressure on your wound." She advised to my question lowering me back down on the bed.

Two days?!

"And what about Lili? Where is she? And why am I in Valentino's room and not in my own room?" I questioned puzzled.

I hope Lili hadn't gone and run away without me. If I stayed here I'd clearly die. No she would never leave me.

"Well I haven't been able to talk to her personally since I got here which would be a day and a few hours ago but I'm sure she's somewhere around here unfortunately." She explained.

"You must be hungry. Greta!" Viola called the maid.

"Yes, Mrs Bianchi?" Greta obediently asked the moment she was at her side.

"Bring Emelia here something warm to eat quickly.. Uh Emelia, do you have anything in particular that you'd want to eat?" Viola questioned once again smiling down at me.

"No, where is Valentino? I need to speak with him immediately. It's urgent." I told her remembering that there was things he needed to know.

"Sergio has gone to get him. What is so urgent that you need to see him? Are you missing my son?" She teased as her eyes sparkled.

"You know who I am and you haven't killed me?" I questioned her suspiciously.

"Of course not, why would I? I would never dare to harm the girl that my son loves so much." She responded clearly not knowing that her son truly hates me.

"I think you have it the wrong way Mrs. Bianchi, Valentino and I......" I was about to explain when she cut me off.

"Please just call me Viola. There's no need to be formal and Sergio and Dave has filled me in on everything so there's no need to hide your feelings anymore." She eagerly awaited for me to confess something that wasn't true.

Looking to my side on the table the time read 11:39pm. Which meant that Lili and Valentino's wedding is sometime tomorrow. The thought made my stomach churn.

"Tomorrow is Lili's and Valentino's wedding correct?" I asked her.

"Don't remind me, I never wanted my son to marry someone he's not in love with just because of a stupid contract but if you ask me, there's something up his sleeves to stop this wedding. I just know it, this is my son we're talking about after all. You don't have to worry about her" Mrs. Bianchi carried on.

Her words a little satisfying but that was not the matter at hand that needed to be addressed tonight.

"I need to speak with Valentino quickly. I think we all might be in danger." Hearing my words Viola froze in place.

I've known my father for twenty one years and if it's one thing I know it's the fact that my father would try and carry out his execution tonight as tomorrow would be doubled with security. Jack would have no doubt told my father where Valentino would be staying.

"What do you mean we might be in danger?" She eagerly questioned looking at me for an answer.

Before I could answer her Valentino entered the room and I could say that I was more than happy to see him more than any other time.

"Val." I anxiously spoke trying to sit up the moment he began walking into my direction with a neutral expression.

I was uncertain what to expect from him. I had no idea of knowing if his mind had somehow changed by Jack but unexpectedly Valentino grabbed a hold of my face before smashing his lips down onto mine.

I gave into him feeling somewhat happy that he was here with me this moment. He deepened the kiss and I pulled him closer to me but remembering about the wedding I pulled away.

"I'll leave you two alone." Viola giggled excitedly like a child before leaving the room.

"How are you feeling Micetta?" Valentino lifted my chin to look me in the eye as he slightly pulled my shirt downwards looking at the banged spot on my shoulder as if worrying that it was hurting me.

My heart raced seeing his sweet and caring side towards me. This must be a dream as I would've never thought he'd treat me this way after I had first met him.

"I think we might all be in danger Val." I told him a minute after recovering from his kiss.

His eyes showed concern as he quickly sat down at my side.

"What do you mean in danger Micetta?" He questioned.

"Jack was the spy that worked with my father. He's the one that is transferring information from your Mafia to my father's, I remember everything now." I explained to him.

"There's no need to worry about him anymore micetta, Segos is dead. I've taken care of him" He responded.

"No Jack isn't the problem as well Valentino. I'm sure my father has planned to have you all killed tonight before the wedding when he knows you all would have your guards down at this particular time. Jack knew where you all were located and would've definitely told my father everything." I anxiously told him knowing we were all in danger and needed to get out quickly.

Valentino's demeanor changed to that of anger.

"Are you sure of this Micetta?" He questioned one last time gripping my chin to look him in the eye.

"Yes I'm at least ninety five percent sure." I assured him to which Valentino got up and made a phone call but seconds later we both heard gun shots being fired.
