I drove back to the hotel I was staying at for the mission. I unlocked my room with my key card throwing off my heels to the side. When I noticed the window was open, the wind blowing through making the curtains move.

I slowly pulled out my gun-walking into my bedroom putting my finger on the trigger ready to shoot. When I walk in I see Camila sitting on my bed giving me a look of confusion as I let out a sigh of relief.

"Camila I could have killed you, stupid!" I yelled at her throwing my gun on the bed next to her.

"Are you trying to get rid of me?" She said sarcastically putting her hand over her heart as I rolled my eyes walking to the mini-bar in my room and grabbing a whiskey bottle.

"What are you doing here? Aren't you suppose to be at the base or something?" I say as she walks up to me and takes the bottle out of hand before I could even take a sip.

"I'm here because you failed, again!" She said as I rubbed my temples just thinking about everything that happened.

"They killed our target right in front of my eyes. I couldn't do anything about it." I say crossing my arms over my chest.

"What are you going to tell Dad?" She says chugging the whisky bottle as I watched her.

"Give me that," I say taking the bottle out of her hands as she wiped her mouth.

"I'm going to tell him the truth, what really happened," I said as she looked at me.

"What? That you got distracted with Mr.Sexy and failed?!" She says which makes me chuckle angrily at her comment.

"First of all, he is our enemy not "Mr.Sexy" and Second of all, I didn't get distracted they killed our target as I told you," I say as she walks around the room.

"And who exactly are they?" She asks me as she stops walking and looks at me thinking exactly what I was thinking.

"Fucking Russians," Camila says sitting back down on the bed looking at the ground.

"If we don't do something about the Russians sooner or later we're screwed. But arguing isn't going to helping us." I say as Camila looks back up at me and hugs me as I hug her back.

"I'm heading to the base early tomorrow we'll talk to dad there, ok?" I say pulling away from the hug as she nods and walks out.

Camila was one of the few people I loved and trusted with my life. She was my sister but also my best friend. It was never easy to be in the Mafia especially when you're young. Camila is 17 years old and started training when she was 9 years old just like me. But her profession was hacking she was never into the killing but if she had to she would and it would be pretty.

If it wasn't for the stupid fucking Russians we wouldn't have to be in the position we are in. Last year the Russians started gaining more people, money and expanding their 'Empire'.

They have been trying to take over our Mafia for several months now. We've been trying to catch a lead on them but with every step, we take there always one step ahead of us.

I've honestly run out of ideas to solve this situation with the Russians. My plan was to get information out of Mr.Agustin because he worked for them but he was killed right in front of me before he said anything.

After Camila left I showered and brushed my teeth, I got dressed into a nude color crop top and sweatpants. I finally laid in bed looking up at the ceiling trying to fall asleep but I couldn't.

I keep thinking about what happened between me and Mattheo. It felt so right but wrong at the same time. We were enemies, our Mafias are against each other since we were kids. But here he is trying to provoke me and get inside of my head. Which is working.

A few minutes later I eventually closed my eyes falling asleep. Hearing the sound of the city helped me relax and fall asleep.

I woke up to my phone ringing which Pissed me off. I was not a morning person but it was part of my job. Picking up my phone and sitting up in bed.

"What do you want!" I said rudely not even bothering to check the caller ID.

"Roxanne, are you ok?" I hear my father's voice say on the phone as I open my eyes wide. Shit.

"Hey, Dad, yeah I'm great," I say as I smacked my forehead lightly not.

"I need you down here at the base in an hour" he ordered.

"I'll be there," I say as I hang up and get out of bed. Stretching I let out a big grown. I look over at the clock to see it was 6:30 am.

I got in the shower and brushed my teeth. I put my hair in a slick ponytail and applied little to no makeup on. I walked over to my closet looking for something to wear.

I eventually pick out a gray spaghetti strap mini dress with a black leather jacket and my black high heel boots and finishing off my look with some jewelry.

I grabbed my car keys and left my room. It was a long drive to the base since it had to be far away in the middle of nowhere so the Americans couldn't know.

Finally arriving there the guards let me in and I walk in through the front door to see my father, Camila, and my brother Andre standing in the middle of a hallway talking.

"Good morning," I say with a smile as Andre hands me a coffee and I kiss his cheek.

Andre was my older brother, when were little kids we would fight a lot and when I mean fight I mean almost have to death. We would always be in trouble with our parents but eventually, as we got older and more mature we stooped.

"Good morning everyone, I'm glad we're all on here on time. I have called for a very important meeting. I've been discussing with some people about solving our biggest problem with the Russians for a while now" my Father says standing in the middle of the room as Camila and I look over at each other.

"You did?" I asked confused taking a sip from my Coffee. I had no idea what he was talking about or what he was planning.

"Yes, we are going to be working with the American Mafia, they offered
us help some help and I excepted." He said as I spit my coffee out onto the floor. Wiping my mouth with my arm before answering.

"I'm sorry, you did what?!" I said looking at my father in shock at his words. We we're enemies with the American Mafia, and all of a sudden he just changed his mind.

"Father-" I say as he cuts me off.

"Mark, Mattheo," he says as they walk into the base as I watch them.

My eyes hit directly on Mattheo's. I was full of rage inside this couldn't be happing. Now we're working with enemies to defeat other enemies.

I got up from my chair and took a deep breath before walking out of the room to get some air. I heard someone call out for my name as I purposely ignored it. It was a lot to take in all at once.
