To say this situation was awkward would be an understatement. Jade's soon to be step mother whose name i don't know, kept on flirting with me.

Honestly, i was shocked that the James guy was running his operations in a place owned by me. How could i be so careless? Then again, it's not my fault. It's abandoned for a reason.

For no reason, actually. Nevermind.

She clearly fancies me. I mean, can you blame her?

"Lorenzo, nice to finally meet you. I'm Blake, Jade's brother.", The guy sitting next to Jade introduced himself.

"Likewise, Blake."

"We should probably leave," Mr Carrington stood up, "See you again another day."

"Have a safe ride back home," My father hugged him and smiled.

Jade was about to stand up when i grabbed her hand and pulled her back on the couch. "See you at the party tonight, Amore."

"Bye, Enzo." She smiled at me and went with her dad.

That smile though.

What the hell am i thinking about?

Shaking my head at my own thoughts, i made my way to my room. I went inside the bathroom, took a shower and changed. I didn't bother wearing a shirt, only sweatpants.

Laying on my bed, i thought about Jade, the most beautiful girl i've ever laid eyes on.

The fact that she trained herself despite her father's attempt to keep her out of the Mafia world, intrigued me. She's really good at fighting. She fights like an assassin. Who trained her? That thought has been on my mind ever since ive seen her fight.

She looks innocent but she's not. Her own father don't know that his daughter is not that little princess he raised. Pathetic, if you ask me. She's hiding something and im going to find out what.

The ringing sound of my phone snapped me out of my thoughts. I answered the call without even looking at the caller id.

"Yes?"

"Boss, we have a problem."

"What kind of problem?"

"We caught someone sneaking around the main house. We managed to catch him. What do we do?"

"Make sure he doesn't run. I'll be there in a few." With that, i ended the phone call.

What kind of fucker want to mess with me? I went downstairs in the garage and chose a car. Once choosing, i drove to the main house.

The main house us a huge mansion. My men usually hang out here but they all have their own personal houses of course. They all live nearby.

Opening the door, i entered the mansion and went directly to the basement. It's where we torture, kill and keep people. People who did bad things, people who messed with me, snitches, enemies.

The guard looked down where i entered the basement as a sign of respect.

"Which cell?", I asked.

"13, boss.", Nodding, i made my way to cell 13. The second i entered it, Luca, my cousin, was sitting infront of him.

"What's up, man?", he gave me one of those bro hug. Luca's one of the people i trust the most apart from Nick, Hunter and Liam. They all work for me. Nick is my right hand man and the others, i trust them with my life.

"Did he talk?", I asked and eyed the man tied to the chair.

"Nope." He replied with a shrug.

"Well, whats your name?", I asked the man infront of me.

"That's none of your business," he spat.

"See, it is my business. The second you set foot in my building, you became my business." I started, "now, i have to deal with you."

"Now, tell me. What is your name?", I asked again.

"I ain't telling you shit," he spat earning an eye roll from me.

"Well, you're the one who's gonna lose... Organs," i shrugged and walked to the tablet containing torturing equipments.

I picked up a knife and walked to the man tied on the chair. "Wanna try that again?", I asked

"What a-re you go-going to d-do wi-with me?", He stuttered, eyes filled with fear.

"How about i show you?", I smirked and cut off one his fingers from his right hand, earning scream full with pain.

"Now, what is your name?", I asked again.

"If i tell you, you promise to let me go?", He replied fear noticeable in his voice.

"You're in no position to be making a compromise." I stated, "i don't think you understand what's going on here. Allow me to explain", i continued as i sat on the chair infront of him.

"I ask the questions and you answer them. If you don't, a piece of yourself gets cut. And when im done with you, IF you did not die from blood loss, you are free to go," i said as his eyes widened with fear. I take that as my cue to continue.

"But then again, IF you don't reply to my questions, a piece of you gets cut, you'll lose blood and in order for that NOT to happen, you have to cooperate." I ended the explanation with a shrug.

"I'll talk." He said quickly making a smirk appear on my face. "Now, that's the spirit."

"Again, what is your name?", I asked.

"Mario."

"What were you doing here, Mario?"

"I was sent here."

"By who?"

"The Russians."

"Why's that?"

"I was told to get inside the American mafia's main house and follow their leader because he is suppose to be meeting Poison tonight." Mario explained.

"Oh dude. You messed everything up," i shook my head at his mistake, "Im the leader of the Italian Mafia and the place you broke in, is the Italian mafia's main house."

"What?", He asked as realisation hit him, "You got what you wanted now. Can i go?"

"Nah." His eyes widened in fear and i took out my gun and shot him in the head.

Once i washed the blood off my hands, i glanced at the clock and saw it was only 9:23. The party is in 2 hours. I got time to sleep. With that thought, i returned home.
