Part 6

                                    

                                          
*Victorias pov*
                          
"Fuck okay I'm coming!.." The man responded as Mateo ran back inside. He climbed down first then gave me his hand, "Its alright, take my hand" He was holding onto them tightly. Like if he was too let go the world eoukd collapse. 
                          
*Gabriel's pov*
                          
If she fell.. my whole world would come crumbling down. She carefully began climbing down. I let go off one of her hands to hold her waist and guide her off. I knew immediately it was a huge mistake when she slipped. I gripped tightly to the hand I was still holding. I reached down for her other hand as she lifted it. 
                          
My heart thumped against my chest as I began pulling her up. As soon as her feet where on the ground I hugged her. She clearly wasn't expecting it based of how tense she was. Eventually she relaxes and hugged me back. It was my fault she slipped. I should've just never took her up there. 
                          
I was only focusing on her when matteo ran back in the room. "Gabriel!" He barked before running back out. I quickly followed after him and came to a halt outside my father's room. 
                          
"My boys.. its no secret I no longer have much time on this planet.. so I need too tell you both something" I crouched down besides my father's bed, "Gabriel.. you need too marry her. As soon as possible. The company will be most vulnerable untill you've took over.. and both of you.. when your mother and brothers.. get back.. After its all calmed down..  take care of them." His voice was shakey as he spoke. He reached his hands out for ours. 
                          
His hands where now laying over ours.. we watched as our father took his last breaths.. and died before our eyes.. 
                          
A few minutes later we leave the room. Victoria was stood outside with one of my gaurds. "Victoria I need too talk too you." My voice was shaking from me trying too hold in my emotions. I blinked away the tears and grabbed her arm, pulling her into my room. 
                          
"We need too marry within the next few days. Sooner the better. Our company is vulnerable right now. Anyone could attack." I announced. The girls face dropped. Great..  she was upset. But hey who cares! It's not line her dad just died! What dies she know!
                          
Well technically a lot.. her mum was killed by my dad.. "what- but!- Gabriel.." she sounded so upset. The girl I loved. Was upset she had too marry Me. "No arguments. We'll go out shopping soon, we'll look for stuff together. Cakes, flowers, venues and all. When my mother is back in town you, Ruby and her can go dress shopping.. with a body gaurd." I instructed her. She looked down at the floor upset.
                          
I didn't know what to do so just left. I walked up too my office and shut the door, locking it behind me. My back slammed against it as I slid down the door. Before I knew it I had broke down crying. Us mafia men weren't allowed too show weakness untill we where alone. It's a rule. 
                          
After a moment of sitting there crying I got up and went over too my desk. I had a funeral and wedding too plan. Funeral first.
                          
2 hours had passed and my eyes where red and puffy from silently crying as I planned the funeral and called my mother; announcing my father's death. 
                          
I ran my hands down my face in frustration. I got up from the desk and swung the door open. "You. Go get Victoria." I barked at a soldier who stood outside the room. He immediately walked off too get her. 
                          
Within a minute she was being shoved through my office door rubbing her wrist. "He's a jackass. Litterally dragged me up here by my wrist." She scoffed making me laugh ever so slightly. 
                          
"What do you want?" She looked at me waiting for an answer. I gestured for her too walk towards me. Once in arms reach I grabbed her waist and sat her down on my lap. 
                          
"We need to find stuff for the wedding so your gonna help me." I ordered. She didn't say anything and just say in silence staring at me. "Your eyes are really red.. and puffy.." she whispered almost as if she was scared too say anything. 
                          
"Well my father just died. I'm a human and have emotions. Even if I'm not allowed too show them." My eyes where glued too the computer as I spoke. I already knew where we woukd get married. "We're going to be getting married in the church. My parents where married there. My brothers and I where baptised there. Our family's been going there for generations." I was half expecting her too argue back with me but she didn't. 
                          
"Okay... but I pick where the reception is." She suddenly spoke up. I nodded. It was fair enough. 
                          
3 hours had passed and we weren't even finnished yet. "Gabriellllll! This is so boring! Please can we do something else!" The girls whined at me for the hundredth time. I was trying not too cave in. I didn't want too plan our wedding by myself.
                          
I was getting annoyed by her constant whining and finnaly agreed too take a break. I needed one too to be fair. 
                          
I grabbed her hand and led her downstairs. We walked into the kitchen and I opened the fridge. "Cheese sandwich?" I asked as I turned ans faced her. She shrugged hopelessly. "You didn't eat this morning. You need too eat we don't want a repeat of yesterday." I stated making her roll her eyes. 
                          
I pulled out the cheese, butter and some bread from the cupboard.
                          
As I began assembling the sandwich Victoria was watching like a hawk. She still didn't trust me too even make her food. I took a bite out of it too prove I didn't do anything too it then handed it too her. It's like she doesn't realise I need her. Not just for the business. But something about her was so addictive. I could tell quite put my finger on it. 
                          
"You know you need to eat more then once a day, if you get hungry tell me. Or one of my men. Even Mateo. I need you eating at least 3 meals a day." I chuckled while putting myself a sandwich together. 
                          
I sat next too her and we ate. "My mother and brothers plane will land soon. I need to pick them up from the airport. Will you join or not?" I broke the silence. She Just looked at me for a moment before nodding her head. 
                          
She was an angel in my eyes. O could watch her for hours. My angel. My saviour. "Finnish up then we'll leave." I mumbled while pitting my plate in the sink for my maids too clean. 
                          
I walked up stairs and changed into a crisp new suit. It was a charcoal black all over. My shirt was black. My blazer was black. Trousers, black. Tie also black. 
                          
I walked downstairs and saw Victoria placing her plate in the sink. "You ready Angel?" I smiled at her. For once she didn't have a reaction too her calling her a nickname. 
                          
As she slipped on her shoes I whispered too one of my men. "Make sure at least 20 men come with us." I didn't state why. It was obvious enough. Not only where we at our most vulnerable time but my mother, younger brothers and fiancé would be there.
                          
I held my hand out for her and she took it. Thats another improvement. I led her out too one of the many suv's.
