"Why do I have to do it Mia? You know I can not stand your brother, please Mia" I said whining while stomping my feet

"I'm sorry but you'll have to, both these meetings are important, so each of us has to be present in both and I'm sorry you happen to be the one to accompany my brother" she said with a grin on her face, she handed me a files

"Everything you have to know about the meeting is there and give the other one to my brother " I rolled my eyes walking towards the door

"I LOVE YOU!" I heard Mia shout before I could fully exit her office, I turned and blew her a kiss before closing the door. I liked Mia, she was like the little sister that constantly worked on your nerves .

I walked into the elevator and pressed 16, which was Leonardo's floor. Once I arrived, I got out and headed towards Luciano's office. I knocked on his door but got no response, I knocked again but got no answer so I opened the door and it looked like a hurricane hit his office. Everything was tiped over or broken, papers were scattered

everywhere. The flat screen behind his desk was broken too, it looked like he... punched it? I found him looking outside his office window while breathing heavily

"Leonardo" I said in a soft tone, I didn't want to make him any more angry than he was .

"Leonardo" I heard her voice and all senses in me calmed down.Her voice was like a melody, it was so soft and gentle. The way she says my name stirs some sort of emotion in me, she's different from all the women I've met or been with. I liked how submissive she wasn't but yet she melts in my touch.

I turned and looked at her, she looked scared to even be in my presence but I would never hurt her, intentionally that is.

"What do you want?" I asked while walking to the bathroom that was attached to my office, I had to patch up my bruised knuckles. I heard footsteps behind me, I looked back and stared at Amanda

"What? Both your hands are hurt,you couldn't possibly be able to treat yourself" she said walking past me into the bathroom, I followed her and saw her look through cabinets probably searching for the first aid kit

"First drawer on the left" I said sitting on top of the bathroom counter, next to the sink. She mumbled a 'thank you' before taking the kit out, she came and stood in between my legs. I had a perfect view of her breasts from up here and what she had on worked in my favor

"Give me one of your hands" she said barely above a whisper but I heard her, she took my hand in hers and started cleaning it, i bit my lip when she started stitching me up.

"Sorry, I promise it won't take long" she said with a sympathetic look on her face, she took my other hand and gave it the same attention as the other. Her touch was so warm and tender.

"All done! Clean the bandages regularly every day, also apply this on your stitches until they heal" she said while handing me a cube off the kit and packed everything

"You should freshen up and get ready for the meeting / branch, I'll wait outside" she said turning to leave but I grabbed her arm causing her to look at me

"Thanks cara" I said, she smiled slipping out of my hold and walked out the bathroom.

Today I got a call saying one of our biggest warehouse in Italy was set on fire, my family did not only own hotels and restaurants but we also were a Mafia family. My dad was the head and I was the second in command. Mia and Luciano were hitman and hitwoman, Mia being one of our best shooters.My mom took care of our finances and Mason took care of our public image. Mason also met with our partners to negotiate deals. Rita and Mia's husband also worked along side us. We did a pretty much good job at keeping our gang life hidden. I fixed myself and walked out the bathroom to find Amanda trying to tidy my office, it looked half decent.

"Don't bother, I'll have people come and clean this up and refurnish. Come on let's go" I said offering her my hand, she hesitated but took it. Our hands together felt right, we walked out of the office hand in hand.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

"We're here, you're ready?" I said eyeing her bouncing leg, her head turned to me

"Yea! I'm just nervous" she said as I chuckled at her, she smiled at me

"You look better with a smile than a frown" she said looking at me

"You make me smile " I admitted to her unintentionally, damn!

"Let's get this over and done with" I said with a disinterested tone before clearing my throat . I exited the car waiting for her to get out so we can enter, she got out and put her shades in

"This doesn't look like a company or restaurant " she said eyeing the house in front of us

"That's because it isn't, this is Eduardo's house, one of our biggest investors . The meeting will take place over branch" I said as I walked towards the door as she followed. At the door we were greeted by Eduardo's housekeeper who escorted us to where the meeting would be taking place.

"Leonardo! Welcome" Eduardo said as we walked into the room, he came and shook my hand and diverted his attention to Amanda next to me.

"Who is this lovely lady? " he asked while his eyes roamed her body, horny old bastard.

"This is Am-" I was cut off by Amanda introducing herself

"I'm Amanda Gaffley" she said offering her hand to shake Eduardo but he took it and kissed it, she cringed at his actions while pulling her hand away, good girl.

"Please take your seats" he said obviously embarrassed, me and Amanda took our seats at the long table while waiting for the rest of the people to come. Men who were Eduardo's business partners came through the door and as usual they had women on their arms,typical. They brought their wives to this meeting every year, I always came with Mia.

"I have to pee" Amanda said next to me, I looked at her and she had a pout in her lips

"Ask the housekeeper to show you where the bathroom is then" I said shrugging , she mumbled something under her breath before she stood up and headed towards the door. After a few minutes Eduardo greeted all his guests and they all finally settled down so the meeting could start, where was Amanda?
