Evianna's POV
Much to Gabe's dismay, he dropped me off at the house and went off to the warehouse where Angelo is waiting for him. To my luck, only mum were awake, making some delicious breakfast that I could smell from the entrance.
"oh piccola mia, you're back. Sit down, I'm making breakfast and once I'm done you're telling me everything," she said and pointed the wooden spoon at me to sit down at the table.
(oh my baby)
What am I supposed to say? Oh we went on a beautiful date then I messed around with Gabe resulting in me getting laid. It was one of the hottest and best times I've had sex.
I heard a thud sound to see my mum drop her spoon and look at me with wide eyes but smirking at the same time.
"I said that out loud, didn't I?," I asked sheepishly, making her nod her head.
She came to the table with the last batch of pancakes and sat next to me, "I'm glad you're happy bambina and I'm glad you got laid," She whispered the last bit making me blush.
"Mummmm," I whined, making her laugh at my miserable state. "Just so you know, the boys almost went on a rampage when I told them that you're not coming back last night," she said making my mouth wide open.
Seeing my state, "Don't worry, they calmed down after a while especially your dad once I managed to get him to do something else to forget the whole thing," she said winking at me making me look at her in disgust.
"I didn't need to know that," I told her shuddering when I heard one of my brothers say, "Know what?,"
I turned around to see Tony, Zeke and Ezra coming into the room and giving me a kiss on the temple. "Mum and dad's sex life," I deadpanned making Tony chocked on air and Ezra looking at me wide eyed while Zeke just looked done. What? never seen someone be so blunt.
"Buongiorno caro," dad said coming in and kissing my mum's head and doing the same thing to me, "Buongiorno principessa,"
(good morning dear. Good morning princess)
My brothers are looking between mum and dad who are oblivious to their stare while I just enjoyed my breakfast with so much amusement bouncing off of me.
To cut off the weird staring my brothers are doing, "I'm going to the office later to check on the new product. I'm planning to release the new jewellery in a month," I said, making my parents and brothers turn their attention to me.
"Sure sorella. Do you want us to follow you?," Tony asked, making me shake my head. "No thanks. I'll be there the whole day and I don't wanna take your time. I'll be home for dinner," I said, making them nod in satisfaction.
As we were talking the rest of the boys came down for breakfast. After a while, I told my family goodbye and entered the car to go to the office. It wasn't far, it was only thirty minutes away.
On the way there, Ana called me asking about my date. To which I received a squeal and awes from her the whole time. I don't show it often, but Ana is my best friend and we tell each other a lot of things. When I asked her about Nathan, I could see her blush even before she answered it. Apparently, Nathan asked her out on a date this weekend and I couldn't be more happier for her. She deserves happiness after everything. I'm gonna have fun threatening Nathan.
Before we ended the call, we were bombarded by Ryan and Gio who were saying they were gonna go out to buy some whip cream. Something about Gio and Sam going to prank Alas while Ryan supervises being the 'mature' one.
I entered the building with my head held high, power and authority oozing out of me. The sounds of my heels clicking on the floor made me the centre of attention. As much as I despise it, a part of me craves it, seeing how people look at me in envy, awe and fear.
Since only certain people in the business have seen me, they are all looking at me in confusion but after sending them a look, they continued with their own business. As I was reaching the elevator, I was greeted by my assistant, Clara who is holding my favourite coffee. Bless her.
"Morning, boss. I got you your coffee," she said smiling at me to which I thanked her for the coffee. Clara is well in her thirties but she looks like she could be in her early twenties. She's been handling most of the work when I wasn't here and she's been doing great. She's married with three children who are all two, five and seven years old that call me Aunt Evie. Let's just say I'm the cool aunt that kids love.
"Thanks and good morning, Clara. How are the kids? Are the boys bullying Violet? I can't let Jason and Austin bully my little girl," I said, making her chuckle.
"The boys are not doing anything to her since you threaten them to not give them anymore toys. Violet has been such a daddy's girl tho that I sometimes think that Ryland was the one who gave birth to her," she huffed, talking about her husband making me chuckle in response.
"Well, when you're the only girl, it tends to happen. Believe me, I'm the only girl in my family," I said, smiling softly at the thought of my family.
As we reached my office, I told her to get me the files for the upcoming release so that I can finalise them and to bring the head of designer for the jewelleries for an update.
Those who have seen me as Evianna Knight have signed a NDA to ensure my identity does not get leaked. I take these things seriously hence if they refuse to sign it, I will not do business with them or if they ever decide to break the contract, let's just say they're all six deep in the ground.
I heard a knock on the door making me call out to them to enter. I see Clara entering with the files I requested in her hand.
"Here's the files. You have a meeting with the head of the media department at four to discuss how we're going to promote the new bracelets and earrings to the world. Ms Wilde is outside waiting for you to let her in," Clara informed me, making me take note of the upcoming meeting.
"Good. Send her in, Clara. Thank you," I replied, making her nod her head at me before leaving the room to call Ms Wilde in.
Another knock came from the door making me call out to them. Ms Wilde entered the room with a small smile and with all the files necessary.
"Shall we begin?," I motioned her to start on the update, earning a nod from her.
After an hour of changing some minor designs and making sure it fits with the theme we are going for, Ms Wilde left the room to proceed on doing the changes that we have decided would be best for our customers. Since there are a few more hours left until the meeting, I decided to continue with some work.
A ringing sound broke me off of my concentration to see that Gabriel was calling me. "Ciao amore mio," his deep voice resonated through the phone once I answered it.
(hello, my love)
"hola chico bonito," I answered cheekily, to which I could already see him rolling his eyes at me.
(hello, pretty boy)
"I'm anything but pretty, querida," he answered, making me roll my eyes now.
(darling)
"Sure chico bonito," I said mockingly, earning a scoff from him.
"I would watch it if I were you. Don't want me to fuck it out of you like last night," he said making me blush. I think he knew what was happening since I heard him chuckling over the phone.
"zitto stronzo," I scowled through the phone earning another round of laughter from him.
(shut up asshole)
"vale, vale, lo siento amor. I just called to see how you were doing. Any guys I need to kill?," he asked, making me chuckle.
(ok, ok, I'm sorry love)
"I'm doing good. No guys Gabe. Well. at least not yet," I said, making him suck a breath in.
"Evianna," he drew out, making me clench my legs at him calling my whole name. Not everyone calls me by my whole name since it's long. I love it when Gabe calls me Rose since he's the only one that does but when he says my whole name. Butterflies.
Only he could make that reaction out of me by calling me with my full name and he knows it. That asshole is lucky I love him or I would have cut off his balls by now.
"Gabriel Adam," I said his full name, making him groan as I know he loves it when I call him his middle name too.
"Stop doing that. You know I like it when you do that," he whined, making me laugh at his childishness. Sometimes I wonder how he's the mafia don everyone fears. He's just a nineteen year old puppy.
After a few more minutes of talking, we ended the call, promising to meet soon. I had a quick lunch before continuing with my work. Soon, it was time to meet Mr Avery, the head of the media department.
Entering the meeting room, I was met with a guy in his early twenties that was wearing glasses. Aww he looks like a cute little nerd.
He noticed me entering, "Good afternoon, Ms Knight. It's a pleasure to meet you," he extended his hands for a shake to which I returned.
"Good afternoon, Mr Avery. You look cute in those glasses," I pointed out, making his cheeks redden.
Chuckling at his misery, "Do you have any ideas on how to make the product reach the audience better," I asked, straight to the point and to make him feel better.
"Uh I do," he said after calming down from his blushing and continued to present to me the ideas that he thought would help the product gain popularity and make the business more flourish across the globe.
After an hour of back and forth discussion, we agreed on the socials that will be used to promote the product. "Thank you for your time, Mr Avery. That will be it," I said while extending my hand to him.
"Thank you, Ms Knight. I'll update you on how the statistics look once the socials are put into place," he said, extending his hand also.
Nodding my head in acknowledgement, I left the room to meet Clara. "Hey Clara. I'm done for the day and I'll be going home now. Take care and say hi to the kids for me," I told her making her smile.
"Of course boss. I'll see you soon," she replied.
I started driving home when I noticed two black SUV cars behind me. I took another turn to make sure if they were actually following me and they were. I reached out for my gun in the compartment and patted my thigh to ensure that my knives were strapped in.
I called Adonis, making sure to add Zeke into the call so that both my brothers could hear me. "Yes, γοητεία," Adonis answered while Zeke answered with "Hey Evie."
(charm)
"Listen, there's two cars following behind me and I would take them down myself but I can't. Send me some back up. Track my phone for the location while I try to manoeuvre my way around and try to lose them," I said, earning some curses from them both.
"Alright the men are on their way. Ares and I are driving as fast as we can," Adonis replied making me let out a breath of relief.
"Same here, Elias, Ethan and I are on our way," Zeke said.
Once I'm satisfied knowing backup will arrive soon, I ended the call and looked at the rear view mirror to see them still on my tail. Suddenly I felt bullets hitting the car and now I'm thankful that Ryan persuaded me to get it bulletproof.
"Can't I have a day of peace," I murmured while loading the gun and putting extra bullets on the dashboard for easy access.
I put the car on auto-pilot before sticking half of my body out the window to shoot at them. I managed to kill the person sitting on the passenger side and the driver before shooting the tires of the car so that it swerved and hit the tree.
The other car sped up and bumped into my car making me jerked forward. I quickly took my knife and slashed one of the tires before feeling a bullet flew past me. I quickly got back into the car and saw that I was reaching a dead end. Yay me.
I stopped the car and I saw people coming out of the car to shoot at me. I shot at one of the gunmen before taking my knife and throwing it at his friend's forehead. The other one tried sneaking up to me and threw a punch but I managed to dodge it before kicking him in the stomach and slicing his throat.
I see cars coming from a distance and I was relieved to see that they're here. What I didn't notice was that a guy came from behind me and had a cloth with him. I knew he tried to drug me but I had a high tolerance to the chemical since yours truly the Germans made sure we were exposed to them frequently. Plus, I knew it wouldn't get into my system in time since backup is here.
I felt a gunshot and the weight being removed from me when I realised Zeke shot him in the leg. The man was groaning in pain while I just looked at him in disgust. I kicked him in the face and made sure he was knocked out but when I looked up I saw my brothers looking at me in amusement.
"What? He tried to drug me," I said trying to defend myself and all I got was their rolling eyes.
"Bring him to the basement at the house. We're going to have some fun boys... and Evie," Ares ordered his men and looked at me sheepishly when he saw me glaring at him.
I felt arms around me to see Ethan hugging me, "Are you okay, stella?," he asked, making me smile at him.
(star)
"I'm okay Ethan. Nothing more fun than a little car chase," I said, making him look at me with a 'really?' look.
Giving him the infamous puppy eyes, he looked amused and shook his head while bringing his arm over my shoulder.
"Let's go home," he said, smiling softly at me.
Home.
