"First thing's first. You know what day is coming up and you know our family would want you to be with us." Ale started.

"I'll be fine, I always am."

"Ren you've never even been to he-"

"I said I'm fucking fine." I grit my teeth.

"Alright." He raised his hands in surrender. "Second thing, what the fuck was yesterday about? Why were my men cleaning up two dead bodies out of your girlfriend's house?"

"She killed them."

"What do you mean she killed them?"

"It was self defense, they tried to rob her. I was on the phone with her when it happened. She told them to leave and one of the men ordered the other one to kill her but she beat them to it."

"Where did she get the gun?"

"It's hers."

"Lorenzo."

"She's a bounty. Well ex bounty."

"What the fuck?" He stood up. "Are you sure we can trust this chick, she could be hunting us or you."

"Calm down she doesn't hunt anymore, she's been my employee for almost three years now. That part of her life is done, but she keeps the weapons to protect herself as she should."

"I still think you should be careful. You know in this line of work you can't trust anyone."

"It's a good thing I'm not in this line of work anymore."

"You can say that all you want brother but even when you're out. You're never really out. You'll always be tied to us one way or another."

He was right, you can never truly leave the mafia. There's always foes lurking in the shadows. There's always unfinished business and there's always a scorned enemy seeking revenge

"You said you had to update me about the mission. What's going on with that?"

"It's nothing major. Everything is still on track and we're expected to be ready in about three months." He dismissed.

I had a feeling that's not what he was going to say but he held back.

"Are you sure that's what you wanted to say?"

"Yea." He nodded. "Look I still have some things to handle so I gotta get going but we'll keep in touch yea?" I nodded. He walked over to the door and left.

Something's definitely up and he clearly doesn't want to tell me.

"Hey, where's Ale?" I hear Samai's soothing voice from behind me.

"He actually just left."

"Oh, I guess I'll properly meet him another time." She walks up and wrapped her arms around me from behind.

"Come here." I grabbed her and flipped her across the couch. She squealed as she landed on my lap.

"A little warning next time."

"You smell amazing. As always. That's cocoa butter with a hint of strawberries?"

"My strawberry scented body wash and I moisturized my skin with cocoa butter."

"Mm, my new favorite scents."

I dipped my head to kiss her lips. I couldn't get enough of her, the way her soft lips molded with mine, the way she held my neck, the way she felt in my arms. Every single thing about this woman was alluring and addicting.

"Ew." I heard Liam's voice from behind us. I was so ready to blow his fucking head off.

"Liam get the fuck out." Samai climbed off my lap and sat next to me.

"No, this is my revenge for you guys leaving me to die downstairs."

"I swear to fuck!" I went to grab my gun but before I could pull it out, I heard the door slam. Liam bolted out of the house.

I looked over to Samai and she was dying of laughter. She fell off the couch clutching her stomach.

"I've never seen someone run so fast." She continued laughing.

I stood there amused watching her. The way her face lit up and her infectious laugh filled the room. There were tears falling from the corner of her eyes. She had a dimple on the left side of her cheek, she was mesmerizing.

I offered her my hand so I could pull her off the floor. She wiped the tears after she came down from her laughing fit.

"Let's get something to eat. What are you feeling for amore?"

"I'm actually feeling for Taco Bell. Uber eats or you wanna take a drive?"

"We can drive there."

"Okay, let me grab my purse."

She ran upstairs and came down a minute later with her phone and purse. We walked out to the car and made our way to the nearest Taco Bell. There was one five minutes away from my house. I pulled in and drove around to the Drive-thru.

"Hi, welcome to Taco Bell, what can I get for you today?" The lady at the intercom asked.

"Hi, may I please have four nacho fries and two dorito loco-" Samai was in the middle of ordering before the lady cut her off.

"I'm sorry but the nacho fries are discontinued."

"Oh," Samai looked so disappointed. "Alright never mind." She then turned to me. "Can we go somewhere please?"

"No problem." I left the drive through.

Samai was quiet the entire time and I wondered if the nacho fries being discontinued was making her this way. She was leaning on the window looking out. She looked so damn upset.

"Mi amore? If it's nacho fries you want we can go somewhere else to get some."

"It's not the same. They always say they're back for good then they discontinue it."

"Those fries have to be magic if you're this upset over it."

"Oh trust me, they are. I guess I'll settle for Wendy's chili cheese fries."

After we went to Wendy's, her mood seemed to have change to a better one. She was more talkative, she was making jokes and laughing. I loved seeing her like this. After we got home, we finished eating and we were now laying on the couch watching a popularity contest.

"I don't wanna watch this anymore, because why would he send home Daniel after making an alliance with him." She complained on my lap.

"I agree, that wasn't very wise. He played right into Nick's hand."

"First Calvin, then Ruksana, now Daniel? Yep, turn it off. Let's find something else please." I gave her the remote so she could search for something she wanted to watch. "Ooh, how about selling sunset?"

"I'm down to watch whatever." As long as we were together I didn't care what we were watching. Although throughout the night, I did find myself getting really interested in the drama of the reality show.

"This is actually entertaining."

"I hope I can afford a house like that one day." She said tiredly as she referred to the house that was currently on the tv.

"You won't have to worry about that mi amore." I'm convinced there's nothing in this world I wouldn't do to see a smile on her face.

When she didn't respond, I looked down to see she had fallen asleep. I let out a silent chuckle and grabbed the remote to turn the tv off. I carefully picked her up and brought her upstairs to the bedroom. After putting her to lay on the bed, I stood there admiring her. She kept getting in the weirdest sleep positions, it was cute and scary at the same time.

I walked out to the balcony and stood there thinking about the conversation I had with my brother earlier. There was clearly something new and important involving the mission, yet he didn't tell me what. I was starting to get a bad feeling of what was to come, this wasn't the first time I've felt this way. I had the same feeling the night Allison got killed.

After clearing my head I got into bed with Samai. She cuddled up to me instantly. She's the only one who could take my mind off the madness that was currently brewing. I knew the coming months would be unpredictable but with Samai by my side, it won't be a problem.
