Nyx walks up the stairs as quick as her bare legs can carry her and I just frown to myself.

I don't know what she's wearing, but my brothers definitely had something to say about how they could see way too much of her body.

She disappears at the top of the staircase and I let out a heavy breath. This woman is going to kill me, one way or the other.

While I was trying to fix the mess going on back in New York over the phone, she woke up and tried getting my attention, but the call I was on was important.

I made that stupid call more important than my woman and that might be a contributing factor on why she wore such an attention attracting bikini.

She left the room in such a hurry after changing that I didn't see what was on her body when she said she's going to the pool.

The call went on for another hour and half before I started getting bored of work. All I could think about is going down to see her and making it up to her for ignoring her when she woke up.

I saw her laying on her back between Nicola and Angelo when I pulled back the curtains to get some light into that damn dark room.

She was laughing and shifting her attention between the two men as they told her who knows what. She looked like she was enjoying herself, but I didn't like how her body was on display for them.

The only thing that saved Angelo and Nicola from me shooting them in the heads from my bedroom was my brother calling for them.

There's so much going on in my head about what she's wearing, and it mostly all the negatives of her swimsuit.

If we were here alone then I would've watched her swim around like that for however long she wanted to, but we aren't, we are in a house full of men.

My brothers saw her while I was still in the room and have been talking about her body since I got downstairs.

I know they are just playing around to get on my nerves, and it definitely irritates me that they are talking about my woman like that.

She's beautiful and her body is absolutely amazing, but I don't want other men, regardless of them being my brothers, to make comments about it.

Wearing something like that was a bit reckless of her, but maybe if I just gave her a minute of attention then she wouldn't have worn it.

I walk to the living room to find my brothers talking about something to do with work. They look at me as I sit down on the single seat on the left side of the room.

They all glare at me and I glare right back, already pissed off by what they haven't said to me, yet.

"We could hear you when you were still outside," Riccardo says while shaking his head. He turns his attention away from me as Angelo and Nicola walk into the room.

I send daggers in the form of a glare at their heads and they shrink back when they notice.

"You didn't have to shout at her like that." Enzo folds his arms over his chest as he stands by what he just said to me. "You still have to treat with respect. She's your woman."

"I know," I grumble.

It's not like I wanted to shout at her, it just came out. Good excuse.

"What if she's sensitive to shouting?" Lorenzo asks, narrowing his eyes at me. "She could be upstairs right now overthinking everything."

I go to defend myself but Nyx walks into the room with a pair of baggy sweatpants hanging from her waist and an oversized shirt covering most of her body.

She doesn't look happy at all, and I'm the cause of that look on her beautiful face.

She sits down next Enzo who moves closer to her. He pulls her into his side and rests his hand on her shoulder as she places her head on his shoulder.

I see pain flash through her eyes when I look at her, and she quickly shuts her golden eyes to avoid me seeing more of her emotions.

"Amore..." She keeps her eyes closed as her lips twist a bit. I don't even know what to say to her right now. "I–"

"Zia! Papà!" Paolo screams as he comes sprinting into the living room. Nyx quickly opens her eyes as Paolo jumps up and onto her lap.

He wraps his arms around her neck and she smiles as she hugs him back. Her eyes meet mine for a moment before she focuses on the small boy in her lap.

"Che cosa è sbagliato?" She asks while pushing back his hair. She cups his face and lifts his head up. "Are you hungry?" He shakes his head and she lifts up a questioning brow. [What is wrong?]

"Madre called and texted," he says while pulling Lorenzo's phone out of his pocket. My eyes move to my brother who looks a bit panicked.

Lorenzo's eyes widen as the little boy hands his zia the cellphone. She looks down at the screen, confusion running across her face for a second before she pieces everything together.

"Go upstairs," she tells Paolo and he nods before getting off her lap and running out of the living room. "Who is Paula?" That name, that name has brought nothing but pain to my brother.

My brothers look at each other then at me and I just look at Lorenzo. He sighs while leaning back into the couch.

"She is Paolo's mother."

Hearing him say that actually hurts me. I don't believe that woman is the mother of my nephew. She shouldn't even be calling Lorenzo, and why is she coming out of hiding all of a sudden?

"She sounds like a bitch," Nyx growls while tossing Lorenzo's phone onto the coffee table. "We are going back home, tonight," she says while getting up.

She walks out of the living room, telling Nicola and Angelo to follow her. Lorenzo picks his phone up and stares at the screen, his blank expression morphing into one of anger.

"Nyx is going to kill that woman," he says while handing the phone over to me.

I look at the latest messages.

Paula: Lorenzo?

Hello mama

Go give the phone to your father.

but I want to talk to you

We will talk later. I just need to discuss something with your father my boy.

discuss?

I just want to talk to him, now give him the phone.

Ok

And where are you guys? You aren't at the house.

we are having fun with Nyx

Nyx? Is that your father's new whore?

whore?

You are very stupid. Just give the damn phone to your father or that new whore of his.

Ok

My blood boils as I put the phone down. Nyx is a lot of things, a lot of amazing things, but a whore isn't one of them.

Paolo lifts his hands up towards Nyx's chest and she smiles as she leans down. He wraps his arms around her neck and she lifts him up from the ground.

She places him on her hip and continues walking towards my jet.

Nyx made everyone rush around to pack everything and get out of the house, but she grew impatient and just told us to leave our bags there.

She then used my phone to call one of my top made men and practically commanded him to get our belongings back to the penthouse by tomorrow.

I don't think she knows how threatening she can be. I just hope she soon realises how powerful she is and that she can lead my mafia as well as I can.

"Why are we leaving early?" Paolo asks while Nyx puts him down in his seat. She buckles him in and ruffles his hair.

"I'm going to talk to your mother in person," she says with a wide smile, but I can see from the slight eye twitch that she's keeping in a lot of her anger.

"She's not so nice," he mutters while looking down at her shoes.

"So am I," Nyx says with a devilishly wide grin.

One of the air hostesses walks past and Nyx asks her to stop. She turns around to face Nyx with a fake smile on her make up filled face.

The woman's eyes switch to me and she smiles and winks at me, Nyx immediately noticing.

She grabs the side of the woman's skirt and yanks her closer to her body. "First, get a fucking longer skirt, I don't need my nephew or my man seeing the deepest pits of hell."

The woman's eyes widen as Nyx becomes a bit more aggressive. Her hold on the woman's skirt becomes a bit tighter as she tries fighting to not unleash all her anger.

I take my seat next to Paolo and just watch this unfold. "I was going to nicely ask for your assistance, but your attitude is just so horrible," Nyx says while pulling the woman closer.

The sound of her skirt ripping makes my eyes widen. Nyx let's go of the skirt and I see how she almost ripped the material in half. The woman's waist and thigh is exposed, showing that she isn't wearing any underwear.

"Get out," Nyx says in a low monotone. She shoves the woman towards the door and turns around to look at me.

"Your employess really don't like wearing their underwear," she growls while throwing herself onto the seat next to Paolo.
