Things are starting to run more smoothly now. I don't need to look over my shoulder every five seconds to make sure someone's not planning on shooting me, it's relieving, to say the least. It really is...

Yet, there's something that I can't wrap my finger around, that has me feeling somewhat frustrated. I have everything, what more is there...

My door creaked open and I threw my empty glass at the opening and it quickly shut. "S-sir you have a visitor... ah, wait! You can't go in yet-"

The door opened once more and I frowned, "Who the hell is it?"

"Tadaa!" I sighed as Lucifer walked in, behind him was a girl who kept her head down as she followed him. I looked between the two of them and raised my eyebrow, "What do you want Lucifer?"

"I'm here bearing gifts," he said and I pointed to the girl, "Your gift?"

He nodded and I leaned back in my chair, "I'm not interested..."

He laughed and sat in front of my desk, tossing me a small ziplock bag that was filled almost halfway with a white powder. I looked up at him as I held it in my hands and he smiled, "Can't get high off your own supply now, can you? Think of it as my way of thanks for you."

"Thanks... for what?"

"Well... this partnership."

I hummed in reply and tossed the bag down on my desk, "I don't need to get high,"

He sighed, "Gio, you haven't left your office in... who knows how long? Since your mother's funeral? I'm assuming that you must've felt a great deal after losing her-"

I cut him off and shook my head, "She was already meant to be gone long beforehand."

"I don't mean your mother, I'm talking about the girl, Jeyri. It's clear from what little I saw from the both of you, you feel a certain level of intimacy for her. The way your eyes followed her, the way you held her, to have that... feeling need to be snatched away from you, you don't feel as if you've won. Your life is still being dictated by your father's rules... his old ways are still clinging on to you."

"That girl meant nothing-"

"Then why didn't you shoot her for real? You spared her and risked your own standing for her to return to a life without you... If she meant nothing then I'm sure the heartless Giovanni could have gotten rid of her. Just admit it, she excited something in you much better than any drugs could. You want to see her again."

"I don't..."

"I'm sure you've realized that the girl standing me, resembles her a fair amount... or have you not been able to look at her? I'm sure you feel riddled with guilt."

I glanced over at the girl for a quick second and she looked back at me. Almost everything about her resembled Jeyri but the one thing, her eyes weren't the same. I gapped my foot down on the floor and sighed. He's wrong about me feeling guilty, I don't. I saved her life, there's nothing to feel guilty about there. What feels almost as if it's eating me out inside is nothing but plain old curiosity.

I wanted to push her away from this but deep down I wanted to see how far she'd fall into this world of mine. Would she cower away or would she keep fighting? For the little time I'd had her, she surprised me almost every time... It was a change of pace for me, something that had me wondering what would happen next instead of the same boring thing every day.

My conscience told me to let her go but, what I wanted to do with her was far from that.

It's not only that... but he's right about my father's ways still managing into my life somehow. Sergio would've given me no other option but to kill her, I hate being given an ultimatum, especially by men like him. He's the last person I'd ever want to bend my will for.

"Did Matteo or Sebastian put you up to this?" I asked after a while and he smiled, "They're concerned about you."

"Then they should've come themselves."

"I did," Sebastian walked in, waving his hand before stuffing it into his pocket and leaned up against the door frame, "Matteo is with Melanie as of right now, I'm sure you can guess that."

"And you? Why haven't you gone to see that girl?... Hayley?"

"You knew?!"

"Sottovaluti la mia intelligenza. Lo mandi con droghe a buon mercato e puttane per me, per chi mi prendi?" (You underestimate my intelligence. You send him with cheap drugs and whores for me, who do you take me for?)

"Maleducato, lei è bella." Sebastian chuckled, nodding toward the girl. (Rude, she's beautiful.)

I looked back at Lucifer who had an amused smile on his face and I sighed. "Get out, both of you," I said, waving my hand and I pointed to the girl, "you stay."

Lucifer stood and up and patted her head before following Sebastian out. She stood there, keeping her head lowered and I walked out from behind my desk. I sat at the front of it and motioned her toward me. I rested my hands on her hips and pulled her between my legs.

"What's your name?" I asked, tilting my head to see her face and she bit down on her lip, "Rayne..."

"Your real name?" I asked and she nodded. I caressed her face and she rested her face in my hand. I brought her face closer to mine and her breath hitched as our lips connected. Her lips were somewhat smaller than Jeyri's and she barely made a move to touch me.

I trailed my hand down to her shoulders, pulling the straps down off her dress. I ran my hand across her bare skin and she trembled slightly under my touch. I paused for a second and watched her reaction. She had her eyes closed almost like she was waiting for me to do something.

I dropped my hands and shook my head, "Pull your dress back up..."

"Wha- why? Am I not good enough for you?" Her eyes widened and she grabbed onto me but I could tell she was trying to hide her relief.

I pursed my lips and let out a sigh, "No... this is your first time, sì?" Her expression told me the answer I was looking for and I nodded, "You're scared of me and I don't intend to have you that way. Go home."

"But-"

"What is it?"

"I'm meant to sleep with you," she whispered shyly.

I sighed and rubbed my forehead before nodding slowly, "Tell Lucifer that we had a good time," I brought her close to me and placed a kiss down on her neck, making sure to leave a mark. She lifted her dress back up and nodded quickly before running from the room,

"T-thank you!"

Damn him, sending a girl like her in... She probably has no choice but to work like that. She doesn't seem like the type of girl. I ran my hands through my hair and groaned. Sebastian came into the room after a while and he looked at me, "You sent her off?"

"She didn't want to do it, should I have forced her for my own satisfaction?"

He cleared his throat and shook his head, "My father is going to come soon Gio-"

"Great, another fucking annoyance," I groaned. "I want him gone just as much as you do..." Sebastian said, sitting down in my chair, "But we have to be careful about it, as much as he claims loyalty to you, I don't trust it. I think he wants me to betray you and take your place, he's everything like Dino."

"You don't have to tell me that, I can see it. What the fuck does he want with me now?"

"A party. He wants you to join him. There's going to be a lot of business people there, rich people-"

"Will Matteo be there?"

"Yes, I'm sure he was already on the list... This is our opportunity to reach more, they'll buy our drugs, we can rack up the prices, they have the money for it... Sergio has his own plans but that doesn't mean we can't profit off of them as well. I will deal with my father when the time comes but for now, let's use him to get what we want."

"Then I guess we'll be going to a party..."
