Chapter 6

VALENTINA'S POV

“Can we go to the house please.” I asked no one in particular.

“No.”

“No.” Dante and Alexander said at the same time. I rolled my eyes.

“We are going and that's final,” I stated firmly, glaring at the both of them.

“I see no reason why you need to go back to that house.” Dante replied with his own glare

“I need to get my things, if not all, I have some valuables.”

“Valuables? Let me guess, your jewelries?” He asked and I nodded giggling.

“Have Daniel meet us at Matteo's house to sign the contract.” I told Alex, who just gave a curt nod. The idea clearly doesn't sit well with him.

His silence, the clenched jaw and fist gave it all away.

When we arrived at Matteo's mansion. Alex opened my door and held his hand out to me which I took. That was when I noticed the fleet of cars in front and behind us. We were in the middle.

“Wow.” I whispered.

We walked inside, the door was open and we made our way to the living room when we heard voices coming from there.

“Wow, Alana, you really amaze me. How did you get those images photoshopped?” Ariana praised Alana.

“Oh well, it wasn't that hard. A few connections here and there and you get things like this done.” She said proudly.

“I'm just glad she's out of our lives.” Damien voiced out.

“How's the divorce preparation coming along brother?” Ariana asked.

I looked at both men on each of my side. Alex looked like he was about to rip someone apart and Dante was no better. I placed my hands on theirs. And I felt them calm down, a bit though.

“The papers will be ready tomorrow.” Matteo answered. He sounded cold.

“There's no need for that.” I came out from where I was with Alex and Dante by my side.

They all looked like deers caught in the headlights. Matteo and Alana were the first to recover before. Damien didn't give a fuck and Ariana looked stunned for a moment.

“Well, the slut came out of her hiding spot.” Alana accused.

“Excuse my manners.” I said, battling my eye lashes.

“Micheal, please lead the guys to my room. My valuables are coming with me. Two doors on the left.” I instructed.

“Yes ma'am.” Micheal was about to take the stairs when Matteo stopped him. “Stop right there!!” He yelled.

“Valentina, what is this? You bring men to my house now?” He accused. I looked at him, unbelievable. Seriously?

“Micheal, do your job.” Without another moment, Michael and a few guys went up to my room.

I looked as each of them disgusted. “Daniel, hand me the papers.”

Daniel handed me the papers and a pen. I signed and looked up. “You wanted a divorce right?” I asked Matteo. “You should have just asked me for it. There was no need to go through the hassle of ruining my image.” I threw the papers in the air.

“You think we framed you?” Alana said, offended.

“Then who did? Me? You guys think I didn't know of your plans? The spiked drink?” I looked at Damien who looked uncomfortable.

“What, you think I'm stupid? That I wouldn't find out?” An unbelievable laugh escaped my lips.

I walked up to Matteo. I stared at him and he gave me a cold stare. It didn't faze me. He didn't know who he messed with. They don't know but they will soon enough.

“You disgust me. Framing your own wife, just because you want to be with a slut.”

“Watch your mouth Valentina,” he warned.

“Or what.” This time it was Alexander who talked. He walked up to him and stared at him like a predator ready to devour his prey. For a moment I saw Matteo waver.

“And yes,” Dante said from behind me. “The deal for the ammunition is over. You'll be getting nothing from us again.”

“Oh, I don't care anymore. I've gotten as much as I wanted In these three years.” Matteo said nonchalantly.

Dante smirked. “You wouldn't say that again, I promise you.”

“All of you, will pay for the stunt you pulled. That's a promise I'm will keep.” I threatened.

“There's nothing you can do Valentina.” Alana said.

“You don't know me Alana. It's best if you keep your filthy mouth shut.” I smirked.

Micheal and the guys came down with my luggages

. “It's done.” He said.

I looked at the four of them. “You all will pay for what you did to me. I'll be back for each of you.”

“Be ready for my return. You just messed with the wrong mafia princess.” I said, and walked out of the door and their lives for now.
