Tangled Obsession novel Chapter 21

Authors pov

Florina waited for the loud gunshots but none came, instead she noticed that the crowd has completely went silent and now she could only hear loud clicking of heels against the shiny floor. Slowly opening her eyes she looked in front of her, Sebastian and Vincenzo were still holding guns at each other.

Florina looked at the woman who was the source of the silence. She was wearing formal clothes, a grey pencil skirt with a white shirt. She had long black hair and same eyes like vincenzo, she was looking like a boss lady. She was around 48 years old but she was more young looking and beautiful as per her age.

Her angry amber eyes met florina's confused green one and Florina understood that she didn't liked her at all. Whoever the lady was, seems to be an important person.

That lady eyed Matteo and Matteo nodded at her like they were communicating with eyes.

Matteo went towards florina and grabbed her arm which caught her off-guard.

"Excuse me..."

She narrowed her eyes at him.

Matteo kept his face straight.

"You need to leave..."

With that he dragged her away from their.

Florina passed by the lady and she gave her a very dirty glare while florina just frowned at her. One last time she turned around and looked at them, that lady was now holding vincenzo's gun and trying to calm him down.

Maria was trying to do the same with Sebastian and what surprised Florina the most was they were listening to them.

As soon as Florina went out her vision got blocked by bright flashlights. Every reporter present there were clicking her pictures and asking questions.

'Ma'am... Can you please tell us what's your relation with them?...'

'Are they fighting over you?...'

'Were you dating both of them?...'

'Can you explain what's happening inside?...'

'How did you meet them?...'

Florina was bombarded with thousands of questions. She was stuck between the reporter who were now pushing her here and there. Matteo called more guards and they cleared the path for her. Matteo safely lead her towards the car and ordered the driver to drop her home.

Florina reached home and sitting on the bed she grabbed her head.

'What do I do now?... I am in a serious problem... They were just one night stands for God's sake. They are handsome but I can't date any of them, they are fucking mafia's... And they just claimed me, I am dead now...'

She whined frustratingly.

'They won't come for me, will they?... I have clearly said that I don't want any one of them and they haven't killed each other. Maybe they will forget about it, who am I anyways. A normal stupid girl...'

She huffed.

'A stupid girl who likes to fuck up her life...'

'Who was that lady?...'

She wondered remembering her angry glare.

Waking up she took a bath thinking she will feel good but it didn't work, she haven't slept all night and her head was hurting. Getting in the kitchen she decided to eat something but ended up drinking coffee only due to loss of appetite.

Florina head towards her workplace, she was sure that she is getting fired today. As soon as she entered the office everyone looked at her with weird looks.

Cherry hurriedly walked towards her and lead her to his cabin.

"What the hell was that florina?..."

Florina had no idea how to make him understand so she just gave him a bit of information which will satisfy his questions and she had to add some lies too.

"Damn girl... I told you to get some news, I didn't told you to become one..."

He cursed.

"Am I on the news?"

She gasped in shock.

"Luckily you are not... Last night everyone was ready to make you a spicy gossip topic, trust me you would have been doomed but__"

He looked at her over-dramatically.

"It's a clear order from both of the mafias that if this news got out then there will be very bad consequences... They handled everything..."

"Thank god..."

Florina sighed in relief.

'Did they do it for me?... No, they must be worried about their reputation. Why would they care about me, yesterday they were ready to hurt me for my so called cheating, which I never did...'

Cherry snapped his fingers in front of her to bring her out of her daze.

"Back to earth... You have another problem to deal with, boss wants to meet you..."

"I am fired... Ain't I?..."

She said defeated.

Cherry looked at her in pity.

"Maybe... I am sorry, this time I can't do anything..."

Florina nodded at him in understanding and went to her boss's office.

"Good morning sir..."

"Florina..."

"I am really sorry for what happened last night..."
