Business Meeting

OLIVIA'S POV:

I held Mattia's hand as we walked into the building. Maria and Alejandro had wanted to "talk" about something. The whole building was surrounded with our soldiers and four of them followed us in.

"You look so hot in black" whispered Mattia as we stepped into the lift. The soldiers got into the elevator next to us at the same time.

"Thanks baby" I said, leaning up for a kiss. He wrapped his arms around my waist and smiled against my lips as the doors opened. Two soldiers walked in front of us and the other two behind us.

We saw a large room with Maria and Alejandro sitting alone. Both dressed to the nines with unpleasant smiles on their faces. There were two guns placed in front of them both.

"I see you're still with your little girlfriend" said Maria as we took our seats.

"First of all, I'm his wife" I said, feeling Mattia's hand resting on my thigh underneath the table. Maria pressed her lips together, looking at us in disgust. It was a satisfying sight to see her mad.

"Did I ask?" she spat.

"You know, you're still as annoying you were all those years ago if not more" said Mattia, rolling his eyes at her.

"Don't, you'll make her cry" I said to him sarcastically. She looked over to me.

"I see you're still as petty as you were all those years ago" she said. I shrugged my shoulders, looking at Mattia.

"Petty or not" I leaned forward, turning my gaze towards Maria for the next part.

"He still chose me, bitch"

Maria reached for her gun but all four soldiers, including Mattia, pointed theirs at her. She slowly lowered it, placing it on the table which made me laugh.

"You're not..scared, are you?" I said, leaning on my hand as I mocked her.

"I will kill you, Polibio" she said firmly.

"Who?" I asked "me or him? You didn't forget, did you? I have his last name now too. It was one of the many things that also came with this". I raised my left hand up to her so she could see the diamond ring sitting comfortably on my fourth finger.

Her face turned red as Mattia laughed quietly, gently squeezing my leg. I smiled and basked in the glory of finally having an advantage over her.

Him.

"Isn't it funny?" I said "throughout this warm introduction your man hasn't defended you in the slightest"

Her face dropped as she looked over to Alejandro who cleared his throat quickly. I placed my hand on Mattia's, it was never easy for him to face someone he used to trust with his whole life.

"Anyway" said Alejandro "we invited you here because we have a proposal".

"What? No we invited them here to kill them" said Maria, looking at Alejandro who glared back at her.

"Are you fucking stupid?" he asked her "they've got back up, it's six against two"

I smiled as they argued, causing issues between them was exactly what Mattia and I wanted. We watched them argue with each other until there was silence again.

"So this was fun" said Mattia, taking my hand and standing up "same time next week?"

"We want to form an alliance" blurted out Alejandro.

Mattia stopped dead in his tracks, turning back to them both.

"The fuck did you just say?"

"An alliance" he repeated "we're two of the most powerful mafias, imagine the power if we joined"
