The Addiction Series

The elevator doors went open, allowing the two to step out. Her arm was hooked with his and a small smile played at the corners of her mouth.

Looking around, the hall was decorated in a very elegant banquet way. The way of decoration was formal business like only to most who didn't know what's happens later in the night.

Gaetano looked at her amused by this girl, he knew taking his eyes off her all night would be hard but she just smiled at him. A smile that always got his heart to skip a bit... "Di Martino" the bold voice got his attention and he looked back at the front to an old man who seemed to be in his early fifties.

A smirk invaded his lips as Larissa stared between the two. "Maurotti " Gaetano replied. His voice cold with no single emotion displayed just like his face.

The tension was high between the two like a sharp knife cutting through space as the two stared at each other.

Larissa knew that in a world like there's every one has to at least hate a hair on you..

"I see your father didn't explain things properly to you" Maurotti spoke up first as the waiter passed by allowing all of the three to pick up a glass of wine each.

"I see Antonio didn't tell you that am not interested" Gaetano replied. Larissa just stared at her glass. The red drink simply getting her attention or she thought. Another waiter passed and she placed it back on the tray sincerely there was no way she was drinking anything to night.

"Look in to it Gaetano, it will bring peace between us or u still want the war"

"Am not taking on your enemies Maurotti and I know you just want to join forces and use me to take them down though it sounds tempting" Gaetano replied and sipped on the drink in his hand. Looking around and taking in the room. Larissa stared in a far distance. Her heart beat hard against her chest and a feeling took over her.

She turned her head to look in far direction expecting to see something unusual but all in vain.

She could feel it, she was being watched. Her eyes roamed around the place for something that would help her feelings. Something bad was about to happen, she could feel it..

"Larissa" Gaetano whispered catching her attention, she turned to look at him masking her fear and panic with a smile but he could see through it.

Maurotti had left a while ago but she was too consumed in her thoughts to notice. "Is everything ok ??" He asked and she looked around again then back at him

"Not so sure" she replied simply but he could sense it, there was fear within her voice.

He tried looking around but a soft voice caught his attention. Gianni was walking towards him with Aveline on his hand. He hadn't seen her in days or mainly cause she had no new information he would use.

A dark red dress clung on her body tightly and showed most of her back with two slits on each side showing off her perfect legs with black heels.

Her light blonde hair fell down on her back and she had light make up on.

Her slutty dress got Larissa's face to twitch in disgust before there eyes met and the two ladies glared at each other before both of them looked away

Aveline was more like a time bomb when it came to Gaetano. He was hers, all she needed was time to get him. She knew looking at beautiful girl on his arm would never get her jealous though it wouldn't stop. 'One night and she will be gone just like the others' she said to herself mentally trying to keep it down

"You look beautiful Larissa" Gianni and she smiled at him

"Thank you" she replied and Gianni nodded turning his gaze back to Gaetano who was looking some where in the dark corners of the room.

"Is Antonio here??" He asked and Gianni smirked

"Yah his here with mom" He replied staring in a far getting Gaetano to look in the same direction.

He saw Antonio conversing with someone but he couldn't see who it was. Straining himself a little but he couldn't see who exactly it was.

He looked back at Gianni.. "I am going there" he replied and Gianni smiled

"Good luck" he whispered and Gaetano's hand slipped by Larissa's waist as they started walking away.

If you didn't know the men in the room, you would think it's a business party to celebrate some deal.

As they walked over, the man who Antonio Di Martino was talking to had his back to them while his wife stood there interacting with a few other women as the two men seamed to be so engrossed in there conversation. Larissa stared up and she couldn't help but stop in her tracks and Gaetano felt it besides her making him stop too. He turned around to face her, but her eyes were plastered on the man who had there back to them. "Larissa " he whispered and she looked back at him. Now he was doubting his reasons to bring her here, all night she was acting really weird and it was getting him uncomfortable.

"His here" she whispered and now he was confused. What was she talking about and was it someone that wanted to harm her. She stared back at the back of the man again.

Though his back was to her not his face, she could make out that's him. Dante Conzalato, her father was here. She had to leave before he sees her. Of all things she needed right now was her father finding out that she's here. Geatano held her elbows and her hands fell on his coat making her look back at him with fear plastered on her face. She wanted to fall down and cry but this was not the time, now she hated being weak all the time. "What are you talking about?" Gaetano asked and she tried gulping the lump in her throat which seemed not to move no matter how hard she tried.

Her eyes locked with his blue ones, she opened her mouth to say something but only someone to beat her to it..

"Larissa" he had seen her it was late.. too late, she felt her whole body freeze.

She stared up at Gaetano with wide eyes who turned his head towards the direction of the voice. Larissa turned her head too to face her father who stood looking at her. His jaw had hardened and anger was visible in his eyes that got her shivering which made Gaetano put his hand around her waist and pulled her close to him.. With her hands still in the same position on his coat.

Dante looked at the man standing next to his daughter and how could he forget who Gaetano is but the thing is why was he with his daughter at the moment.

He hid his confusion behind his cold stare.

Larissa closed her eyes and took a few deep breath to calm herself down. Gaetano looked at Dante with his hand in his trouser pocket while the other was holding his girl by the waist. He was ready to pull out his gun on Dante in case things could turn out bad.

Antonio stood quiet with Rosalie his wife watching in confusion while Dante was mentally debating on what punishment he could give this stupid daughter of his who had led to him losing a lot of money from Maurotti.

She turned her head and looked back at him. He looked fine just as she had left him. Did even her leaving ever affect him but how could it, he never cared just like any father would be with her daughter.

Gaining her confidence back, she smirked at him "hello daddy" the words rolled of her tongue with much bitterness as her father. Just as she had said that. The sound of a bullet was heard all over the room with a few screams from ladies before every where went silent....
