Violet's POV:

Several hours later Alex, Jacob, Silvia and I were sitting in the living room, talking about the last few days. Marco came and jumped on my lap, and is now sleeping onto me. How cute.

"So you know I suppose" I say looking at Silvia and she smiles at me "Oh my lovely bestie, I knew since the day I saw him. I mean, how could he be so beautiful and rich if he wasn't in the mafia?" She says and smirks at Jacob.

He smirks back at her "Oh so you're dating me just for the money?" He says and she giggles "I don't know, am I?" He gives her a fake death glare before starting to tickle her. I'm saying it again, couple goals.

After a bit they both leave to rest because of the flight, while Alex and I stay there, Marco sleeping peacefully on my lap.

"Yeah I know! Oh and, I want to train, do you think you could help me with that?" I say and he thinks to himself, before answering "You know I can. What do you wanna train for?"

"I want to learn self defense. I mean it's not like I can wait for someone to save me every time I'm in danger. And now I've entered the mafia's world so danger is something I might know a few times." I was right, it's not like I will always have Blake's men around me. I will only always have myself.

"You're right. You need to know how to protect yourself, even tho I will always be there Violet. I'm your ride or die." He says while fidgeting with his fingers. "I will always be there, too. But don't die for me okay?" I say and give him a smile as he chuckles "Okay" nodding his head.

"Now go rest a bit, you guys had a tough flight. I'll take Marco upstairs in a minute." I say and he nods standing up, walking to the rooms.

I look down at the kid sleeping on my lap. He's adorable, I feel sorry for him. He's just a kid and could be in danger anytime.

I slowly stand up, wrapping my arms around his tiny body and carrying him to the rooms. The problem is, I don't know which room is his. I could take him to my room, but then Blake would be worried so I'll just bring him to Blake's room.

I reach his room and manage to open the door and stop a second. I've never been in his room: it's as big as mine, with a king sized bed in the middle, a huge mirror in front of it, a walk in closet, a large window and a door which leads to the bathroom. Walls are black, like everything else. Typical Blake.

I hear water running and assume he's taking a shower, so I gently lay Marco on the bed and cover him, he doesn't even move fortunately.

I kiss his little forehead before standing up, I don't hear the water running anymore so he's going to come out any moment now.

As I reach the door I hear another open, too slow Violet.

Come on Vi, you got this. Girl you can literally walk out of the room. Shut up Violet.

I turn around and almost gasp at the sight in front of me. Blake almost naked, with only a towel that covers his lower body. Water dripping down his abs, his hair wet. His eyes piercing holes into me, like every time he looks at me.

I bring my finger to my mouth, gesturing to him to stay silent before looking at the bed; he follows my gaze and sees Marco sleeping on his massive bed.

He walks closer to me but I don't step back, until he's so close I feel like I'm breathing his air.

"What are you doing here?" He whispers huskily and I make a sarcastic face, before answering sarcastically too "What do you think Sherlock? I brought Marco here because I don't know where his room is" He pokes his tongue on his internal cheek, amused by my response.

I roll my eyes and speak again "Whatever. Good night." And turn around but he closes the door without making a sound and holds me by my waist, pushing me a little against the door.

"You could give me a good night kiss." He says and I know he's smirking right now, even tho I can't see him. He presses himself against me, our bodies colliding. This feeling is addictive.

"Or I could not. Isn't that what we both wanted?" I whisper smirking and he turns me around, pressing my back against the door and himself against me.

He leans on my neck and leaves a warm kiss. And another. And another. I let out a quiet moan as he kisses my neck, but he suddenly stops and backs away.

What?

"Good night, Miss Rodriguez." He says turning around and going in the bathroom again, leaving me confused and hurt. I was giving in...

I open the door and quickly get into my room, locking the door behind me.

If he wants to play games then I will be the one who will choose the rules. He underestimates everyone just because he's a mafia leader. Oh Blake, you may be a mafia leader but I'll show just how good of a leader a woman can be.

_______________

I woke up and got ready, then I went downstairs and we all had breakfast.

After breakfast, everyone had something to do, Silvia and Jacob went to visit Silvia's parents, Marco went to tennis practice, Alex and I decided to start my training.

And Blake, I don't know. He's probably in his office doing his mafia shit.

I follow Alex around the house as we reach a room I hadn't seen before, which is the gym. There's an area for simple gym exercises, an area to practice with knifes, an area to practice with guns and an area that has a ring.

"So, what should we start with?" I curiously ask Alex as he looks over the ring area and then smirks at me. He points the ring and I roll my eyes and chuckle, before walking to the ring.

He grabs a pair of gloves for me and gently puts them over my hands.

"Okay Violet, try to punch me with these. Do it with as much strength as possible." He says backing away a little and waiting for me to react.

"What if I hurt you?" I ask concerned and he smirks at me. Is he underestimating me? Ugh as if I could actually hurt him, please Violet.

"You won't. I'm a talented assassin Violet." He says feeling proud of himself and smiling widely at me.

I walk closer to him and punch him in the chest. He barely bulges.

"Go on." He says and I throw another punch into his chest. I go and punch him again but he grabs my wrist and makes me fall. Ouch.

"Always expect your enemy to react: you're punching them, you're hurting them, and during these situations pain turns into anger. They'll react and you must expect it, possibly prevent their moves too." He says giving me a hand as I grab onto it and get on my feet.

"Did I hurt you?" He asks looking at me as I shake my head no, he smiles.

"Strength. The only thing that will save your life if you live in the mafia's world." He says reaching the knifes area and grabs a dagger, walking back to the ring.

"Weapons like this one are extremely important and useful. Always keep one with you." He hands me the dagger and grabs another for himself, positioning himself back in front of me.

"Try and hurt me." He says smirking as I look at the dagger in my hands and then up at him. This is going to be interesting.

"You first." I say and earn a chuckle from him. I know he's a freaking assassin and could literally kill me but I have my ways too.

This is step one: learn how your enemy attacks, with which hand he punches better, what weapon he uses often, prevent his moves like Alex said.

"As you wish love" he says and quickly steps closer to me, but he does something that made me prevent his next move: he took a larger step with his left foot, meaning he was going to kick me with the right one and make me fall.

My thoughts were right as he brings his right leg on my waist but I stop him by grabbing his leg and making him fall instead.

I quickly get on top of him. Now comes step two: when your enemy is under your hold, disarm him and hurt him.

I take the dagger Alex holds in his hands and throw it away. Obviously I'm not going to hurt him because he's not my enemy, but if he were I'd be punching him right now. I bring my dagger to his throat, so that he can't move.

I lean to whisper in his ear "You're wrong. Strength is absolutely important but you have to be smart if you want to win. Animals use strength only. Humans can use that too, but we have the power to use logic and intelligence."

I get up from him and he stands up, smirking at me. "What?" I ask and he claps his hands "Good job Vi. Every man that works for us is trained to be strong. But what is strength without smartness?"

"That's why you need women here. Women aren't weak or fragile. They're powerful and smart, they're perfect for this." I say and he nods his head before speaking "Yeah trust me, I know. But women have something that we don't have fortunately." "And what is that?" I ask curiously.

"Feelings. A good heart." He says before grabbing the two daggers and walking to a table.

"We are able to show no mercy." I say looking at his back as he puts the daggers on the table.

"Bullshit. We've tried that before." A different voice speaks from the door. Blake. Was he looking at us all this time?

We both turn around as Blake walks to us. I was fuming. Women are always put in second place. They're always left behind, and for what? Because we have a pussy instead of a dick?

"What exactly have you tried?" I ask looking at them both.

Alex looks down, he seems like he doesn't want to have this conversation now. Too bad I do.

I look at Blake and he's smirking. What is going on?

"I asked you a question, don't you know how that works?" I speak again but Alex is still looking down and Blake is still smirking.

Finally, Blake breaks the silence "We've hired women and gave them a very simple task. They had to kill a bunch of men which weren't innocent. None of them had the balls to do it. The thing is, Miss Rodriguez, I really admire women and never disrespect them. But those women promised they were made for this job, and yet they didn't kill the targets." He explains as I think to myself.

If I did that, would I prove my point?

I furrow my eyebrows and look at the table, where the daggers laid. "If I did that, would you change your mind?" I ask and Alex brings his head up, looking at me with wide eyes.

I see him slightly shaking his head no, which causes me to realise what I just asked.

I move my gaze to Blake and he seems serious now. Was the question that bad?

"You want to kill someone?" Blake asks, his tone husky and deep as usual. "Yeah, isn't that what I have to do to prove that women are strong?" I say confused as they look at each other.

"No." Alex says looking at Blake. "It's her decision. She can choose herself." Blake says like he doesn't even care.

They turn to me, their looks asking me if I really want to do that. Alex is screaming no with his eyes, while Blake's eyes seem like they want to see where this is going.

"I'll do it." I say gulping and see a look of disappointment on Alex, while one of amusement on Blake.

"As you wish, Miss Rodriguez." Blake says smirking as Alex looks like he's going to have a panic attack.

We follow Blake out of the room, into a cellar on the basement. I mouth a 'relax' to Alex and he bites his lip worried.

"Everyone out of the cellar floor. Come back when I leave." Blake says as a bunch of men go up the stairs, leaving.

"Alex, you too." Alex shakes his head no and something in Blake flips. He's angry.

"Alex. I said. Out." He says gritting his teeth, and Alex sighs.

He turns to me "The moment you change your mind, scream. I'll be right out the door. I will hear you." He says before giving Blake a death glare and leaving.

When we hear the door close, Blake starts walking to a cell, I follow him quietly, contemplating wether I want to do this or not.

The cells are made of glass, strong glass I suppose.

We walk past a few cells, a man in each one. They whistle at me as we walk by and I look at Blake, his jaw clenched.

We reach the last cell, but there's no one in there. There's only a chair in the middle of the room.

What?

He closes the cell's door and sighs, looking above, at the ceiling.

"What are you d-" "Shh. Don't." He cuts me off and walks to the chair, sitting on it.

He spreads his legs and puts his hands on his thighs, patting them. "Come here, Violet."

I refuse to do that, but my body betrays me. I walk up to him and gently sit on his lap.

He grabs me and makes me straddle him, he looks like he was dying to do this. I squirm at the sudden movement and he chuckles closing his eyes.

I'm not buying this. He's playing with me.

I get up but his grip tightens around me "Blake stop." He looks at me in confusion.

He slowly lets go of me and I get up, turning at the door. It's locked and he has the keys.

"Let me out." I say without looking at him. This cell was now filled with embarrassment and a little bit of hurt.

He wasn't getting up. Ugh.

"It was a mistake, Blake. We didn't actually mean to kiss, right?" I break the silence and hear him sigh.

I turn around and walk closer to him, looking down at him.

"Yeah. Sorry Miss Rodriguez." At first I loved that he called me that, but now it hurt. Because I know that things between us are only professional if he calls me like that.

He gets up from the chair but something in me changes.

I touch his chest, pushing him back on the chair. I get on his lap and straddle him, as he looks at me in confusion.

"What are-" This time I cut him off, by kissing him. I so needed to touch those lips again. He quickly kisses me back, as we start making out.

He grabs my ass and tries to pull me closer, even tho it was impossible because our bodies were already pressed against each other.

I pull away and open my eyes, looking at his, which were filled with lust.

"This was because I wanted a kiss and you were the only man in the room." He smirks nodding his head "Yeah okay" and I speak again "Now that you've got a last taste, starve. Because I didn't forget what you did last night." I smirk and silently grab the keys he has in the pocket, getting up from him.

He was fucking confused, but when he realised he cussed. Yeah I know, karma's a bitch isn't it?

I open the door and throw him the keys, leaving. I don't even glance at those nasty men in the cells. I go up the stairs and open it.

I see a very worried Alex, as I walk to my room he's following behind.

"So? Violet?" He asks and I face him, laughing when I see he's practically shitting his pants. "Relax. He wasn't going to make me kill someone. Yeah he's an asshole, but he wouldn't do that." I say and he lets out a big sigh of relief.

"Aww you were worried?" I say and he gives me a death glare "Are you okay? Of course I was fucking freaking out. You won't kill anyone Violet, that shit destroys you. And you are too pure to be destroyed." He says hugging me tightly.

"Thank you bae, now let me rest a bit." I say pulling away as he chuckles "Sure."
