VALENTINA

Where did I put my phone? I'm sure I left it on the bedside table but now I can't find it.

"Ugh... Emma??" I yelled from my room hoping she heard me but got no answer.

"Nia??? Cody?? Luciano...fucking hell...Anyone?!" I yelled again and a minute later Ivan comes inside.

"What happened? Finally got annoyed with yourself?" He laughed while I glared at him.

"No you idiot. I can't find my phone. Call me." I replied and he jumped on the bed. Literally.

"Why would I call you of all people?" He smirked putting his hands behind his head.

I swear I'll beat his ass up if he does not help me soon.

"Forget it. Luciano..." I yelled again making the little Ivy chuckle.

"Stop enjoying and get your ass out of here." I muttered so he threw a pillow at my face which I dodged.

"Now who's being annoying!?" I glared and jumped on him taking a pillow and hitting him making him laugh more.

Are we really adults!? Why do we act like kids all the time!?

"I was just giving you a taste of your own medicine." He said laughing.

"Really? You called me to watch you two fight like kids?" I hear Luciano's voice and I turn still sitting on Ivan.

He stood there with an irritated expression but still amused and walked towards us.

"I can't find my phone. Can you call on my cell?" I asked smiling sheepishly.

"Of course love." He smiled and took his phone out and soon enough I heard the ringtone from one of the bags I packed as we are leaving in an hour.

I got up from the bed and opened my bag to find my phone in between my clothes.

"Great underwear." Ivan comments.

"Thanks. My choice is always great." I smirked back at him making Luciano laugh at us.

What!? You don't expect me to blush and shy away like a little good girl. Right? That's not me.

I take my phone and zip up the bag and then went inside the closet to check if I left anything else.

"How the hell did you manage to pack your phone in the bag?" Ivan asked amused as I walk back inside the room while Luciano is sending pictures from my phone to his I suppose.

"I don't know how that happened...and how the fuck did you manage to crack my phones password!?" I exclaimed as I stood in front of him.

"Ohh yeah ofcourse because pancakes is such a hard password to crack!" He said sarcastically rolling his eyes.

I love pancakes! What's wrong in having them as my password!?

Ivan laughed loudly looking at us while I glared at both the brothers.

"Assholes." I muttered and looked at what he is doing.

Surely he was taking pictures we took while we were here and some of my single pictures.

"I told you I'll send it to you." I stated and took my bags and motioned Ivan to take one of them as I had two.

"Yeah and we both know you are too lazy to do that." He answered still into the phone.

Thats true though.

Ivan walked out of the room with a bag and I take another one and walk out too but look back to see Luciano inserting something inside the phone.

I shake my head smiling knowing what he did and why he did that and walk out before he knew that I saw him.

I walk downstairs where everyone is ready with their bags and Serena is standing with Leo with a sad face.

I really like being with her. She is a pure soul and I admire her a lot.

"Hey!" I smiled at her standing beside her.

"All ready sweetheart?" She asked trying to smile.

"Yeah. Can I tell you guys something?" I asked and both of them nodded.

"Come back to New York. You have everyone of us there and your family estate is there too. It would make me, Luciano and everyone else happy if you do." I smiled holding her hand.

"But sweetheart we have been here for a few years now..." She started.

"I know but I also know how much your family is important to you Serena. Don't you want to stay with them? And I think if you really want to let go of her then you should come back to New York." I explained and Leo stiffened hearing me talk like that with Serena.

I remember Luciano telling me that this is Mia's favorite place and that's the reason why Serena came to stay here but I dont think that's the real reason after talking to Serena and her thoughts about Mia.

Probably no one talks about Mia with Serena so he was shocked that I dared to do so.

"I know you're right sweetheart. How about I take a few days to think about it? " She smiled without getting mad.

"Of course." I smiled hugging her.

"Why do I feel like you like my mother more than me?" Luciano said coming to stand next to us.

"That's because its true." I chuckled looking at him while he looked at me lovingly.

I know I'm really strong and badass but it feels good when someone looks at you like that.

"Well Can I take her from you for a moment Mom? I need to give her something." He asked Serena and she nodded excited.

No matter what happens but she is going to be like that when it comes to Luciano and me.

We walk towards his room when he turned toward me.

"What did you tell her?" He asked still walking.

"Nothing. Just asked her to come stay in New York with us." I replied shrugging making him smile.

"Thanks for doing that. We have been trying to do that since a long time but I see she loves you a lot. Hopefully she agrees." He answered giving my hand a squeeze.

"I hope so too." I replied.

We enter his room and he opens a drawer taking something out.

"A gun!" I looked at him confused.

"Yep. Its yours." He stared at me.

"Um..Look I can fight and I can do other stuff but I haven't used a gun before." I explained making him smile at me.

Oh dear God! His smile is so damn good..

"I'll teach you later love but you need to keep this with you all the time. Its for your own safety. We don't know what might happen anytime so just keep it." He said and gave it to me.

The cold metal of the gun gave me goosebumps but holding it made me feel things I have never felt before. I felt the power Serena was talking about, I felt at home holding it.

The gun was black in colour. As i moved the gun, I noticed something engraved in gold with a golden heart.

Ti proteggerò sempre mia regina 💛

My eyes watered after reading it and I suddenly felt too emotional as a tear fell down my cheek.

No one has ever promised that to me making me happy and content all at once.

Luciano holds me and wrapped his arms around me kissing my forehead.

"I will always protect you my queen" He speaks the exact words written on the gun making me smile teary eyed.

"Thank you." I whispered staring into his eyes.

"Anything for my Queen." He whispered pecking my lips.

"So you finally agree that I'm your Queen?" I chuckled softly wiping my cheeks.

"You have been my Queen since the second you kicked my ass and smirked at me." He said staring into my eyes and kissed me.

His lips moved against mine in sync with need while his hands squeezed my waist. His bit my lower lip making me moan. We broke the kiss breathless.

"By..the way...I saw you insert a tracker on my phone." I said catching my breath.

"Good thing you know it. Don't remove it." He stated pecking my lips again.

"What if I remove it?" I smirked making his eyes darken.

"Then you won't be able to sit without pain for a week." He replied sternly.

Oops. Looks like he is very serious when it comes to this protection thingy.

"Are you threatening me?" I glare at him making him snort.

"Its not threat. Its a promise my love." He whispered pulling me towards him by my waist.

"Dont say things like that. You aren't scaring me but making me wet instead." I muttered wrapping my arms around his neck making him chuckle.
