I walk to the meeting room and stare at the wall. What am I going to do when my family figures out that I have been destroying their beloved mafia. If there's one thing that papa taught me it's never back down until what you want is yours. I am just reluctant to see the face of my father when he sees me. He's been looking for me, my people say. I miss him sometimes, but this is for the best. I took an oath, to protect the weak, the good. I will break that if I stand by papa.
Aya comes in.
"Hey." She says. She's still mad at me about kidnapping her, its been a week. I wonder if she knows that Roman and I are hooking up. I also wonder if she knows that I know she was messing around with my brother. If she's not going to tell me then I won't tell her.
The thing about Roman. I know I have to end it with him. He won't understand. If I say actually why, he won't leave me alone. So, I have to make him not want to be with me. Ah, I would rather get shot than do that. However, its better for the both of us.
Roman comes in. Damn, he's hot.
Tomas comes in.
"So."
"I'm going to start gathering intel on papa and the boys. And, I found a contractor, willing to hire us."
"Why isn't anyone talking."
Tomas leaves, I don't know what's up with him lately. It's bothering me.
"Natalia." Aya says.
"I'm going out, I'll see you tomorrow" she says.
Roman lays back in his chair and stares at me.
"Darling, they hate you." He says.
"Yeah, I know."
How am I going to lie to him.
Another guy?
I can't lie to him, but I have to.
